SPEECHES

Daffodil Princess Speech

I wrote my first ever speech in my senior year of high school for something called the Daffodil Pageant. The Daffodil Pageant is an event held in my home state, and the pageant is more focused on how well the winning student represents that year’s theme in their speech than beauty. The winners are crowned Daffodil Princesses, attend community events together, and eventually, one is selected to be the Daffodil Queen at the annual Daffodil Parade! I was the runner-up for my school (I lost by one point), but I wasn’t too disappointed since I was happy for the winner, and I was still proud of my speech! I took the theme, ‘Traditions in Bloom,’ in a different direction compared to my peers, and I knew it would be risky, but I value education and think teaching is a tradition itself, so I chose that. The speech had to be a minute long, hence why it’s so short.

Personal Narrative Speech

I wrote this piece in late September/early October of 2022 for my Public Speaking class that quarter. The assignment was to write a narrative speech, focusing on an experience in our own life, and providing a lesson at the end of it, and while most students focused on one particular event, me and one or two others focused on themes. My theme was my relationship with my little brother. I focused on our close bond in early childhood due to shared trauma, how I stopped being kind to him during my teen years (for nuanced reasons detailed in the speech), and how I resolved to be a better sister once I realized what I was really doing, and the impact my actions were having.

POEMS

Dear Brother, I Want You Back.

I wrote this when I saw my brother go through a BAD breakup. I was hurting because I saw how badly he was hurting, reduced to tears. At the time I was ANGRY — my brother NEVER cried like that before. He was always strong, and I knew he cared so much. At first I played the blame game because I didn’t know what else to do. Then, I vented to my friends about it and wrote this poem because I saw him slipping away from everything. It was cathartic during a time when I felt helpless to do anything. I’m proud of this poem because it reflects how I felt then, and it helped me to reach my current state — I don’t think anyone was the “bad person” in the relationship, just very different in terms of what each person needed, and that’s okay!

ESSAYS

Beating Up the Bardashians

Beating Up the Bardashians is a creative essay I wrote in my junior year of high school during our AP Lang satire unit. In the essay, we were supposed to use different rhetorical devices to write a satire piece about a topic of our choice. As a victim of domestic violence and a member of a blended family, I wanted to explore how popular media sensationalizes (and normalizes) domestic violence and abuse, as well as how media intentionally mischaracterizes Black culture as inherently violent/abusive. I utilized a LOT of hyperbole, alliteration, lots of understatement, parody, and general wordplay — nothing too put there. I wanted it to be extreme, so my audience (a college group actually came to review our essays) would notice the lesson at the end of my essay, which appears to be the one logical moment throughout, and really consider that take away. I intentionally used and abused AAVE, flooding my paper with it to try and make my audience think, “Wow, this person is really trying to insinuate that this is A Thing™️ in Black households. That’s not true!” Because that is the point — abuse happens in all kinds of households, yet the media tries to sell just that one message. I don’t think I’m the right person to open that can of worms up much more than I did in that paper, so I’ll leave it at that, because I’m not qualified nor educated enough to delve super deep into that topic, but it’s definitely worth considering why media plays into racist stereotypes, and how that impacts the discussions around abuse and domestic violence (aside from the obvious, being that most media companies ARE racist). If anyone is ever curious as to specific parts of that essay, I’m always open to answering your asks! Basically every word there is intentional (except for typos) and I’d love to talk about it some more since it was something 17-year-old me worked very hard on.

heyyy first of all I LOVE your blog and i'm very new to tumblr so I actually have no clue how to find anything on here so I couldn't really find wether you take requests or not

HOWEVER I really loved your 'simps. and dumbasses' fanfic so I wanted to ask if you could - only if you want to and do take requests ofc - write a Onyankopon fanfic :D

it's just that he is SO FINE and I love him SO MUCH but I found close to no fanfics about him :(

OH MY GOD BESTIE I AGREE ONYANKOPON IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MAN 😩💕💕💕 HE NEEDS MORE LOVE

To answer your ask, first, thank you SO MUCH! Hearing that you like my blog means so much to me, I’m glad people enjoy my writing! Especially that story, I put so much love into it so to hear people STILL being excited to read it is 🥰✨ scrumpdidiliumptious✨🥰

And to answer the main question(s), yes, I do take requests, and I am writing an Onyankopon fic right now, actually!
