Tales from a Phoenix

30 years old, Serbian-American Ace Lesbian, she/they. Call me Phoenix if you're new, Nixy if we're mutuals.(Timezone: EST/GMT-5) I write a lot of fanfic and meta, but mostly just reblog things. There is occasionally nsfw content, but all is tagged, so just blacklist. Feel free to click the "Buy me Coffee" button in the corner.

I am still accepting donations (or commissions!) on ko-fi, but it's not by any means an pressing need anymore. If you want a writing-related goal to support for this, I'm going to move closer to the city (and the new job) once I've built up a bit of a nest egg in case of emergency, and that'll cut down the commute by several hours... which I could use on writing for you guys!

For politics-only followers, I have the sideblog @phoenix-politics.

At this time (May 2024) I am still accepting a trade of charity donations for fic. If you donate over a certain amount to a listed charity, I will write a shortfic for you.

Alright, navigation time:

Just like I know Trinity Santos will go into pediatrics, I know that at first she will only wear plain scrubs and insist that scrubs with prints on them are “dorky as fuck”.

Until Whitaker buys her a set that has little rainbows all over and she begrudgingly wears them, but only because she wants to “indoctrinate kids into the gay agenda.”

A couple days later, he sees her scrolling online looking at Snoopy scrubs, and knows his mission is complete.

Read that kpdh/Todd in the Shadows thing by @glitterlessgold and you know what?

I think it would be VERY funny if Jinu did make a comeback but only as an In Absentium thing. Reclusive creator. He only ever shows up to things as a hologram, it's a gimmick! (He is a soul trapped in Rumi's sword.)

He mostly does duets with Rumi and does some solo stuff, but rarely collaborates with anyone outside of Huntr/x (he is trapped in her sword).

He's done a complete turnaround on his approach to running the gauntlet of variety shows and interviews that he excelled at in the film, instead just Not Doing Them (he is trapped in a sword).

He does concerts via hologram and it's a running challenge for most of kpop fandom to try and find where the studio put his streaming setup (he is trapped in a sword).

He and Rumi are obviously very close but never confirmed to be dating, especially since they are only ever seen together when he's livestreaming his hologram thing (he is trapped in a sword).

He doesn't seem to have his own production studio or management anymore and is just piggy-backing off of Huntr/x (he is trapped in a sword).

He never did his government-mandated military service and doesn't seem to have a tax id number and the Korean tax auditors are losing their minds trying to figure out how to get him to pay his taxes because all the money seems to go through Rumi into some charities and they can't figure out how Jinu is related to those in order to receive any money (he is trapped in a sword).

Biggest question in South Korea: Where is Jinu?

Answer: Trapped in a sword.

something you learn fast and necessarily when you get into the habit of writing is that you are riddled with blind assumptions, prejudices, unpractised rhetoric and all kinds of unchallenged cicada shell thoughts that were left stuck to your mode of being when bad ideas fled you. most people get to move through the world behind a kind of modesty veil that divides their internal thoughts from their external observations, but you have to take that off when you write. you have to suddenly present the whole world to itself nakedly, without the kindness of someone who can stop you mid-sentence and say "hold on, I know you, you can't possibly mean that". people are often scared to show their work to an editor in case the editor points out what they look like without their modesty veil, but god, christ, hell and heaven, you have to be more afraid of what the whole world of strangers will see if you don't let someone pick the cicada shells off you first.

op is wordy, bloated, stylistically self-conscious. suggest condensing: "an editor is a guy who eats bugs"

friend is trying to convince me this is a common experience and I do not believe her, so

Do you expect to be paid back if you pay for something for your friend while you’re hanging out? (I.E. a ride, a meal, a trinket.)

Yes, always

Yes, but only if it’s above a limit of money

No, never

I don’t buy things for my friends.

Remaining time: 1 day 19 hours

For a more illustrative example, say you go to the movies with a friend and you buy them popcorn, do you expect them at some point to send you money back via cash or through an app of some kind? Will you be upset if they don’t?

We're reading old documents my mom pulled out of the safe and I don't even need to ask when she got them because they smell exactly like my grandfather's basement 😭

I’m sure this will get buried but for the sake of answering all your FAQs

- they’re Opawz pet specific dyes. Non toxic made specifically for dogs. Once they’re set and rinsed they can groom themselves normally, they pose no danger to her in any way, no fumes, there’s no bleach involved

- my dog is trained with cooperative care skills, the process is not stressful for her, she gets paid heavily for her cooperation and looks forwards to the opportunity to earn extra snacks with the grooming

- she’s a mini American shepherd, her name is Yoshi

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.
