Read Me First!

Hey friends! Call me Pax, any pronouns please (including it/its, neos, literally anything goes). I'm just a punk little freak who needs to get the stories out of his head before they explode. Feel free to drop something in my ask box if you ever want to chat, I'm always down for a good ask game or OC ramble.

Don't come here if you can't be normal about queer people, fat people, disabled people, People of Color, or any other people who aren't you. Hate speech and intolerance will be chased out with a pitchfork. That's all :)

Tags: Each of my OCs and fanfics is given their own tag (such as #jasper wilson, #oc kestrel, #heartstrings fic, etc.). Catch-all tags for OCs, art, and writing are under #my ocs, #my art, and #my writing respectively

Almost all of my writing is on AO3 (Practically_An_XMan), but you can check this post for links to all my fics: My NEW Writing Masterpost

And for introductions to (most of) my original characters, see this post here: My OCs Masterpost

just have to say. it's darkly funny to read my post-surgical pathology report and realize just HOW many things are built wrong up there

[practically-an-x-man]

to the point that a friend asked me if i was intersex (while chatting about the surgery/health stuff) and my only answer was "maybe???? probably???"

because the mutations are so extensive that it probably could fall under the intersex umbrella, but also so rare (especially combined) that nobody's been able to research them and find out

I'm so glad that that truncated fucking ran-into-a-wall-at-speed tadpole-ass looking squirrel only lives in high altitude forests in Borneo bc this means I am extremely unlikely to encounter one in my day to day life. thank god

Hello.

WHERE IS THE REST OF YOU

[ceruleana]

project hail mary is a touching and poignant film that leaves you asking questions about humanity like, "wow what if all mainstream media was genuinely good" and "what if book adaptions actually gave a shit about the book in question" and "what if studios hired actors that could actually act, and then let them get a lil wacky with it"

[practically-an-x-man]

haven’t sent one of these for a while! Talk Shop Tuesday for your most recent moment of writing inspiration?

Oh thank you!!!

I haven't been writing a whole lot lately (been caught up in other irl events and projects) but I did have a super strong flash of inspiration when it came to writing the final chapter of WWFA!

I already had a concept in mind for what the final chapter would be - Bastet offering her final gift to Katherine, the mysticism and magic coming to a head, and the hint that Katherine has been accepted as a new member of the museum rather than truly dying -- but had a tough time starting for the longest time.

The inspiration to finish it... kinda hit me out of the blue, to be honest. I was driving to work and all the pieces effectively fell together all at once. Jotted some notes down when I got to work, held onto the idea for the rest of the day, then got home and wrote the entire chapter over the span of a few hours! It meant I was up too late and wasn't able to take my insomnia meds, but... I'd say it was worth it!!

I have had smaller bouts of inspiration here and there, namely for a possible epilogue to WWFA (that I'm not sure if I want to include or not, it would be cute but I like the note the story ends on in its current form) and a few shortfics from asks in my askbox, but nothing as strong as the urge to finish that last chapter!

Thank you SO MUCH for the ask!! This is my favorite thing about the tumblr space, and I've been missing it now that I've stepped away from social media a bit more.

Which makes that 21/26, for... well, AO3 says I have 110 fics, but I've got a few that I have only here on tumblr too, so... 120-130 total, I'd say? Either way, I've got all but a few of the more uncommon letters, which is saying quite a bit!

new development in my brain loss story: i deadass just forgot what jerma was called

[campyvillain]

i couldn’t make this up if i tried

[authoratmidnight]

i still have NO idea what OP means by 'Jerma'. That's, not a thing. I just get random twt account when I google the name.

[campyvillain]

i wish i was you.

[campyvillain]

hey guys great news. guess who saw a doctor recently and it turns out my shitty comprehension skills that coincidentally got worse around the same time i got hit in the head with a spinning loose bench board in middle school probably wasnt just an autism thing and chances are i have aphasia that’s just been unchecked this whole time

[wisflight]

I hope OP is okay but my god am I dying of laughter

[sic-semper-hominibus]

#OP I’m glad you got help and I’m sorry that happened to you #but your aphasia has made me weep with laughter

[byoldervine]

Fanfic is a great way to practice self-indulgence while writing. It doesn’t even have to be good, it just exists purely for your pleasure, be a little freak about it. Worry about quality and what other people think when it comes to works you intend to publish in a formal setting

[maximumgraves]

to be honest, i only personally care about plotholes when they appear in writing i already have a bunch of other problems with. if i like something enough, i'll give it a pass/invent an explanation in my head. i can't find the exact quote, but roger ebert said something about this. to paraphrase: "the movie's problem wasn't [such and such inconsistency], its problem was that i was bored enough to be thinking about that."

just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙

[naamahdarling]

Powerful message that lovingly includes multiple disabilities, united. I love this.

[gpedia]

and last but not least her fit slaps too

[practically-an-x-man]

existing inside a fast-moving adhd brain is like playing a constant game of six degrees of kevin bacon with myself XD

I mean seriously I challenge anyone to figure out the train of thought that led between these two thoughts:

me watching my partner play a shooter game: oh shit he's got like a kukri knife

me: ...

me: did you see they're making a new lord of the rings?

[practically-an-x-man]

love is stored in the rotating schedule of alarms to keep track of my post-op meds for me

[practically-an-x-man]

surgery went well!! feeling... about as non-shitty as one can feel after having six organs removed, so there's something!

Reblog and put in the tags if there’s any text printed on the clothes you’re wearing right now and if yes, what does it say?
