I'm doing something (it's not freehand!! it's mostly traced)... now how to go from this to digital, and possibly get it presentable before binning the idea altogether... And also get those buildings straight... I blame the fact that I work in Pisa for those 😄 That's a problem for the weekend. Thursday is done and dusted for me. Hang in there ppl, the weekend is near!!!

There was post I saw but lost track of saying how there are more effective ways to help transgender people than just hating on JK Rowling. It went into depth on ways to help transgender people. I think it was a good post and agree with it.

I think a lot of people hate on JK Rowling so much they just let her live in their heads rent free. This doesn't help transgender people it's just an obsession at that point. Also, I do get the feeling most of the people who hate on JK Rowling were former Harry Potter fans who just can't let it go for some reason. This isn't an endorsement of JK Rowling, but I don't think obsessively hating on her is the victory people think it is. The hatred probably just gave the Harry Potter franchise a longer lifespan than it warranted. Personally, I moved on from Harry Potter long ago and think that franchise is the only real thing JK Rowling has going for her. When she tries new stuff, it doesn't seem to work that well. I think the best way to win is to just live your life and let her and Harry Potter go. Let it fade into memory and just live your life and help people.

I hate how normalised it's become for me to expect at least one death threat a week from someone within the F1 Fandom in my inbox.

At first I was really upset at first and now I've just become used to seeing to the point where i don't feel anything.

Until I feel ready I will be closing my inbox - It may be a month, it could be more or even less.

A year ago today...

I came back to Tumblr, after nearly five years away. Coincidentally, one day after my 10 year Tumblrversary. I wrote a loooooong post, which I was originally planning on reblogging today, but I figured that might cause confusion, so instead I'll link to it at the end of this one. Because people, I'm going to write a review the year post! 🎉 Why? Because I love looking back and of course everyone is *very* interested in my review of my year! 😌

Today I'm here to point and laugh at the me from a year ago! 😄 Because she wrote, about the story posts that would be shared, there would be "more text, less pictures". HAHAHA! 🤣 Let’s recap a few of the recent updates, shall we? Consequences: 207 pictures. Dateless (Part 2): 267 pictures. Now or Never, considered short: 156 pictures.

But the biggest joke me-from-last-year made was that she said she'd stick to her "no poses policy". I can only shake my head in sympathy for that girl. She had no idea about the rabbithole she was about to go down. 😄

It's been a great year, storywise. The first story chapter I shared showed James meeting Leona on the rooftop of The Factory, the Honeycomb Hills nightclub. At first I only linked to my WordPress, later I brought the story to Tumblr in full. It then gained a title and brought me many new followers. I can't even tell you how much I appreciate the love. During the past 12 months I wrote 36 chapters (that's including minis/extras) and renovated most of Honeycomb Valley. How I got anything else done is a wonder! 😄

Even though this past year was tough for me personally, A Taste of Honey and new connections and even true friendships made on here have made it so much brighter. ❤️

The plans I had for my characters and my story have been doing somersaults and backflips and changed at least four times during the past year. They might continue to do so, but I'm happy with the direction in which we're headed now and the look of the current timeline. There's much more to come!

The original post from 28 March 2023 is here, in case you also want to laugh at me-from-a-year-ago and how clueless she was. 😉

I leave you with this very fitting drawing my four year old daughter made today.

I'm suffering from the big loss and hard times in my life last month. Yesterday I finally reached home after a forced and particulary forced travelling and socialization I didn't wanted and wasn't ready for. Now I'm trying to fill the emptiness inside me with my self-insertion and the only love who's anchoring me in this damned life. ⠀

☾ So I wanted to friendly-remind about her bio, if you didn't get acquainted yet. ⠀

☾ I also have a folder with her bio in more comfortable and hq pdf + moodboards, questionaries and other fun stuff. I'll be glad if you'll come by and don't hesitate to ask me something.

☾ Playlist about her in progress:

☾ Playlist about them:

The best part about holidays is all the older relatives casually dropping family secrets. “Yeah, your great aunt tried to kill your great uncle but it got swept under the rug...”

Me: 👀👀👀👀👀
