Introduction Post

Hello! I'm sugarphoenix - I'm just a 20 yr old UX design student from the US who writes sometimes when she has free time. Feel free to tag me in any tumblr games, I do not mind ever.

When I write it's usually:

Romantasy - either light fantasy or dark fantasy

Usually includes animals in some form (shape shifters, metaphors, or half human half animals)

Fanfiction (I have some fanfictions on this account but the rest are going to be on my fanfiction account, @sugarphoenixlovesfanfic! Or, you can find me on ao3 with the same name.

I do have writings posted on this account, all my posts with my writing in them are tagged under #✎ . writings

Here's a list of posts I'm most proud of:

I wrote that one tumblr post -- i wrote a couple of one shots of that one tumblr post with a crow and a cat being familiars and trying to find their witches.

un-satyr -- COMPLETE short story about a satyr who is different from the rest.

my roommate is a vampire -- currently unfinished short story about a college roommate who is, well, a vampire.

vampire x poisoned werewolf -- COMPLETE (?) short story about a vampire and a werewolf putting aside their differences (and perhaps getting a bit too close) in order to save one of them.

and that's all for now!

we’re ingrained to carry this idea that bad writing and enjoyment are mutually exclusive. I have deeply loved stories, shows, movies, etc. that aren’t the most technically complex or consistent just as much (if not sometimes more) than those that are “polished”. I’m sure we all have a less polished piece of media we enjoy more than those lauded for their technicalities. keep that in mind the next time you consider your art

I’ve been a lot happier ever since I internalized this and started caring more for enjoyment than technical “perfection”. don’t get me wrong, enjoyment can come about because of or through technical cleverness, of course—but it’s far from the only avenue. we disservice ourselves in reducing our crafts to something so narrow

technicalities are just a pile of bones without the ligaments, flesh, and blood of our stories and the heart that produces their pulse

(and don’t forget, different stories, different creatures require different frames, but still have flesh and a pulse all the same)

Yeah, you know what? Reading this post reminded me that Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, one of THE most popular and well known manga/anime series has. so many imperfections. There are many drastic character traits and abilities that are introduced but never mentioned ever again - sometimes conveniently unused for when they would be overpowering in a battle. There are timeline inconsistencies, sometimes solved extremely sloppily. As I was getting into JJBA one of the things I heard a lot from my friend who introduced me to it was "Oh, Araki (the creator) forgot, lol." and I think that's a very commonly known thing in the fandom. like yeah, he forgot to address this thing or fix this or whatever but ultimately nobody cares because the show is genuinely fun to watch/read and for the most part the characters have a lot of heart and we connect emotionally with them. And sure, I guess some people could say that the reason nobody looks too much into the inconsistencies is because the show is "bizarre" and people expect chaos but honestly I think my argument still stands.

anyway humans are imperfect and we're going to make imperfect things and we're going to enjoy imperfect things because nobody has ever made a perfect thing before.

just realized that in the second book of WIngs of Fire where Tsunami realizes that the Seawings speak in a language using their glowing pattern that she was not taught when she was raised despite literally being the princess and being super mad at her mentor about it - perhaps one of the only times I felt seen as someone who is half Egyptian yet doesn't know very much Arabic. which is a staple knowledge for anyone who is Arab of any kind. The way they look down on her because she doesn't know the language is very similar to the way I feel other Arab people (not all but most of the ones i've come across) kind of look down on me for not knowing Arabic (going so far as to not talk to me entirely because we don't have anything in common if we didn't both grow up in a slightly oppressive Arab household and grow up speaking Arabic and doing Arabic traditions) -- essentially you feel othered if you don't know the original language of your family.

anyway i didn't even realize it at the time but somehow I just remembered that. me and tsunami have that much in common I guess.

it has been years since i've read anything wof lmao

just warmth, just home

this is a poem about artemis the goddess of the wild, and artemis II the space mission, and how i think the places where the beauty of nature is most clearly shown to you are the places where you can separate yourself from the noise that we make as humans. i love you artemis ii

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IF YOU HATE THE NEW UPDATE REBLOG THIS POST

[ PT; please for the love of god if you hate the new update reblog this post ]

I am organizing a lights out protest on tumblr, from March 20th 6AM UTC until March 21st 6AM UTC. It is best if as many tumblr users as possible can join this protest, as a mass downtime in users is the only way the tumblr staff will listen to us.

If you cherish this hellsite, participate. Do your bit. Every person counts.

Thank you for reading, and to @staff @changes: give us our tumblr back, or the people will migrate somewhere else. This is a threat.

[cheresceless]

Y'all are amazing. Reblog to hug the person you're reblogging from.

Have you seen the new movie? It's on library. It's literally on the library. It's on library without ads. It's literally on your local public library. You can probably ask for it on your library. Dude it's on your library. It's in the original case too. It's on library. You can watch it at the library. You can go to your local library and watch it. Register onto your local library right now. Go to your library. Dive into your library. You can watch it. It's on there. Your library has it for you. Your library has it for you.

Royalroad might be worth looking into as well since it's an original fiction platform instead of fanfic. Might be easier to gain new readers.

Ooh thanks! Will look into it <3

[sugar-phoenix]

note that it is based in israel! found this out one terrible morning after receiving an email from them and scrolling all the way to the bottom .. I didn't use them anyway because their userbase mostly wants litrpgs:

[transman-badass]

Hate the fact I'm doing this. It's been a bad pain day for me and I can't cook. It's really late but some places are still open. Can anyone help me get something to eat? You can buy my short stories on my Kofi if that helps any...?

Buy Vincent Lore a Coffee

Become a supporter of Vincent Lore today!

Thank you, I'm sorry.

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

NO its a JOKE and YOU DONT GET IT. ITS NOT THAT DEEP

[hiveswap]

While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive

[midnight-revolucion]

alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife

[notahorseindisguise]

im going INSANE thats MY POST.

[marlinspirkhall]

It's your post but the journey to posting it changed it to such a degree that even its closest intimacies are now foreign to you. Sorry dude.

[shadowen]

This is an anti-despair checkpoint! You must share something you're looking forward to before scrolling on.

[beaft]

my mythology pet peeve is when someone describes a scenario in which they keep nearly getting something and then having it snatched away, and everyone's like "one must imagine sisyphus" no!!! one must imagine TANTALUS!!! sisyphus = being made to perform a pointless, aggravating task over and over without ever making any progress. tantalus = being offered a glorious reward only for it to vanish as soon as you reach for it. they are NOT the same

i'm so big on "just say that" cause all you gotta do is just say that

[the-haiku-bot]

i’m so big on “just

say that” cause all you gotta

do is just say that

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[sexhaver]

i love crossing the street in front of cars where i can see the driver is visibly annoyed because like. are you mad at me? am i making you mad? are you upset? are you gonna kill me about it? gonna vehicular manslaughter me? gonna split my head open like a watermelon with that big strong manly truck? are you mad at me?

[icexprincess]

I will hit you with my car.

Then I'll stop, get out and offer to take you to the hospital, visibly upset.

It's just an act of course. I'm not actually upset lol.

Then I'll take you home and dispose of your stupid ugly fucking body and no one will ever fucking find you.

Do not fucking test me.

I am not a good person lol

(Yes the police will question me when you're reported missing, but they won't have enough evidence to build a case against me, and without a body, it can't be considered murder. You'll always be considered a missing person)

[sexhaver]

are you mad at me?

[sexhaver]

this post is doing numbers in the second-degree murder fandom

[lil-rubbish]

As someone who has accidentally hit a pedestrian with my car and killed them

Literally wtf is wrong with all of you
