Hi! I'm pathetic and love to write. I'm currently working on two projects side by side (Nice Day For A Fight Wedding and a secret one that members on Ko-Fi get first dibs on!)

If you would like to throw a dollar my way, I'd be rather grateful! If not, that's fine too! You can find me on ao3 either way here:

Publisher: So we wanted to know if you’d be willing to collaborate on the cover reveal for your book.

Me: You mean the thing they do in publishing where you only make the cover of your book public six months before the book actually comes out to build anticipation about the release? Do authors…not want to be involved in that?

Publisher: You’d be surprised.

Me: Well, obviously yes. The biggest question is who we’re revealing it to.

Publisher: …Instagram?

Me: YOU MISUNDERSTAND ME.

Genuinely can’t believe I can finally splash this all over the internet. IT’S A REAL BOOK. YOU CAN PREORDER IT.

accidentally said "invasive thoughts" instead of "intrusive thoughts" today and actually I think I'm onto something. this thought does not belong here and it is harming the local ecosystem

That ‘comment on your a03 work’ email hits like a line of cocaine every time. unmatched dopamine increase. shoutout to everyone who leaves a comment on fics. you deserve the world

jax died before she could come out, and she died before she could become a better person and make any kind of amends with the people she hurt. I don't think the story was written that way by accident

[mousidy]

she's horribly repressed and comes from horrible circumstances including homelessness. she also pushed away every hand extended to her and every chance she could have taken to get better. there were a million better decisions she could have made and she did not make them, and she caused an incredible amount of harm along the way. and still the story wants us to believe her worthy of being understood and loved

[mousidy]

to come out would be to embody herself, to view herself as a real person, to start to leave the haze of dissociation that allows her to think of herself and everyone else as cartoon archetypes in a false world where nothing matters

she's desperate to stay in this world that she sees as false, where she's a funny cartoon character and she can still brush off the pain she causes as silly cartoon antics

it's exactly this dissociation that allows her not to take her own pain or the pain of others seriously. it was what ultimately led to her death. a jax that cannot come out is also a jax that cannot make amends

[mousidy]

something I love about a tragic story, where a character fails to complete the arc that might have satisfied us as the audience, is that it asks us what led to the tragedy

the despair it leaves us with, the satisfaction it denies us, leaves us to yearn for things to have turned out differently. it leaves us thinking about what could have been done, what decisions could have been made, what different circumstances could have prevented the tragedy? dissatisfaction drives us to act

you're not supposed to be satisfied when she dies

[mousidy]

I love, by the way, the matter-of-fact cut from her walking away to her already being gone. like many tragedies we experience in our lives, the news comes to us unceremoniously, undramatically, flatly. it arrives well after the moment where we could have been there. in one quiet moment the world shifts underneath our feet. at first it feels like nothing at all until the information percolates through us, manifesting first as a dull ache that feels inadequately small and insignificant

we don't get to ask "what could I have done if I were there," we can only ask "what could I have done before it got this bad?"

[mousidy]

when a trans woman in your life commits suicide, she is not going to have tied up all the loose ends first. a trans woman's suicide is not the last page of a full life well lived. it is an abrupt end in the middle of a story that deserved to keep going

[mousidy]

people who survive their lowest moments are the ones who get a chance to grow and make amends. far, far too many trans women do not survive

[do-not-u-dare]

let’s talk about how they made it impossible to function without a phone and digitalised everything and then turned around and went “actually! these phone things aren’t safe for kids but it’s magically ok once you’re eighteen. guess you’ll have to have your life dictated by your parents now lol cause we’re gonna take the devices away from you. IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING”

[do-not-u-dare]

ok my apologies. take away my ability to buy anything too ig because these fuckass stores don’t accept cash anymore. take away my ability to communicate with people outside my house and school because I can’t text and I can’t email and I cant drive to them either and I can’t even fucking get public transport without a phone either. can’t order at a fucking restaurant without being asked to get a membership and install an app and also very sorry but you can only order through our online menu now! have you ever considered that it’s not just about instagram?

So, I’ve been into Deltarune for a long time, but chapter five inspired me to actually write fanfiction for it. Enjoy!

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.

Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.

Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.

Nicknames: Decoy

Job: Co-leading the resistance, step-father to 5, helping Ch’rell relax.

Flaws: Clingy, highly distracting (to Ch’rell), annoyingly in love

Technically not married yet.

Non-combatant.

Short king (5'3").

Trans man.

Been dating Ch’rell for most of his life and thinks about him constantly.

It's not clear what modifications have been done to him, but for some reason, he's lived much longer than he should.

Sappy gay idiot.

This diva took far too long to draw, but he came out rather fancy. You can see how much I love asymmetry in design with those boots. I drew him for his boyfriend's gaze specifically.

Anyways! Hope you enjoy!

Adoption Rules:

Choose one of the mutants novelty pets to love.

Choose a potential name.

Draw or write your chosen pet and submit it.

If you write, show how your sona or character meeting and choosing the pet, and how they pay for it. (Do they haggle? Offer to work off the debt? Attempt to steal it? Etc.)

If you draw, show the pet fully colored in alongside a payment whatever kind of payment your character has for the shady merchant. (Unicorn money preferred.)

Be sure to include the number of the pet and the name you want to give it.

Each pet will be available for approximately 24 hours before I randomly pick a name. After that, it will be first come, first serve.

There is now a cooldown. If you get an adopt this time, you sit out the next time, and then you can adopt again.

[shadymutantmerchant]

The cooldown only comes into effect during the next adopt. If you have adopted previously, you are free to adopt again this time.

As an FYI.

Also, warning. There is a bug (shark + ant) and something that might be considered body horror among the snenguins.

"Oh, you. Yes, you. Come here, see my wares. I have rare, never before seen creatures here, just for you. These four feathered friends have a rare venom that can turn your enemies to fish if you milk the venom out ... or I can do it for you, for a small price, of course.

"I've also found other creatures, like this small but fearsome sea insect, capable of releasing a scent that causes other nearby creatures to want to befriend it, like a platonic aphrodisiac, and allows them to communicate with you ... even if the main thing this creature says is 'smell food there' ... And it can also smell things from miles away! Like your food.

"And the last is a one of a kind kelpie, capable of teleportation."

(The species are:

Galapagos penguin + green anaconda

Macaroni penguin + Eastern mud snake

Great white shark + fire ant

Fairy penguin + ring-necked snake

Royal penguin + yellow lipped sea krait

Banded stargazer + reindeer)
