Howdy hey! I'm Reed.

A little about me:

I'm a big reader, and an especially strong supporter of indie bookstores, indie publishers, and local libraries. (And to be clear I also borrow a ton of CD/DVDs from my local library...and games and those special shape cake tins, and, and! etc.) I have a Bachelor's in English which I completed with a minor in History, and I am back in school to go for my Masters (which isn't frightening at all)

Big writer of analysis (I will not be posting that here. my brain dries up in class) and creative works (also questionable if that goes here either! so uh,,, just take my word for it)

Don't ask me what I post, I don't know either. I think the French version of me pops up when I enter the tumblr space.

Oh! I love my Pussy Posse (my cats). To like a totally normal degree. Definitely (no, it's a genuine problem. They're the joy of my life)

current interests

HermitCraft! (I'm aware the season is ending soon)

The Indigo Girls (might be my most favorite band ever)

Swing dancing! I mainly west coast swing, but I do know country swing basics, and i vaguely understand foxtrot

oh shit i'm just. really boring huh

I'm also really fucking stupid. that's it. that's this whole note here.

[lockandkeyhyena]

learning that ofc means ‘of fucking course’ is such bullshit. she’s ‘ofcourse’ to me

[real-language-facts]

favorite type of word: names of genres that tell you nothing without context. literary fiction. popular music. interactive fiction. lets invent a new genre called experiencable media

[real-language-facts]

additions: speculative fiction, art film, point and click, simulation game. anything that makes you say "i sure hope so"

The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.

Fuck it at this point can y’all actually start supporting indie animation and indie games made by black artists/creators because I’m really getting sick and tired of everyone hyping these racist phase mediocre white people that get 90% of their humor from 2000s newgrounds animations

[tech-obsessed-shark]

For the people asking “How am I supposed to find them?” Look them up, it’s that easy.

Here is an entire youtube playlist by Mannof1000Thoughts with a ton of indie animation videos AND a livestream he did where he watched some with the creators!!!

For games, there are TONS of lists out there like these:

hey does anyone have that poem. about the author seeing two boys cuddling on a hotel lobby couch, where he refers to it as something like an island of safe anonymity or smth. its been 5000 years my college boyfriend had it written out and pinned to his wall

i was tidepooling today and overheard someone say 'chatgpt it so we can figure out what it is' about some sort of creature. loser behavior. you're not in it for the love of the game. i have to do everything around here. let me see the creature. i'll tell you the real answer about what it is and i won't kill the environment. AND i'm literally nice.

[woodsdyke]

it's funny because 5 minutes before that i was IDing something by using the search string "SEA SLUG GREEN STRIPED SMALL SEATTLE" which took me to a very badly designed, hauntingly non mobile optimized website that immediately gave me way more information about my creature than i needed or thought was possible. get good. bitch

[woodsdyke]

hold my hand. come with me to emeralddiving.com's salish sea species index.

He does this a lot, to my deep surprise in undergrad:

For reference, the reason nobody likes this book and you can press tofu with it is that it’s about 1600 pages long.

[horizon-penblade]

It’s also, by all accounts, the origin of Cousin Throckmorton

[polarity-disturbed]

big fan of when a character metaphorically sweeps something under the rug, but you can feel them flinch every time they walk over it and feel the crumbs beneath their feet
