I was talking about your art to my teenager and husband the other day because I started following you for your Epic art but really like all of it and mentioned you do a lot of bible fanart which led to a convo I think you'd find funny:

Husband: ...bible fanart in the religious way or in the fandom way

Me: ...............yes?

Teenager: no, which is it?

Me: and my answer is- yes?

Husband and teen: huh

Me: it's cool though. They're very talented

Yes

Systlin my grandmother who is probably the main reason I made it adulthood and knew what love looked like is 90 and on hospital (for non covid reasons) You would love her. She threatens people she doesn't like that she's going to turn them back into a toad. She is nicknamed Granny Weatherwax. If it's her time could you ask that her passing be as painless as is possible?

I’m very sorry for this, and you’re right she sounds amazing. I hope she pulls through but I will do this and my thoughts will be with you.

Hi you obviously don't have to answer this but I am drawing fuzzy bees to cope and I was going to do a Christmas bee but decided I want want to draw a Hanukkah bee first. Is it okay to draw a bee wearing a Kippah on a dreidel? If I wanted to make more jewish celebratory bees over the year what holy days would it be appropriate for?

It would be cute and appropriate, but you know what would be really rad would be a Rosh Hashanah bee! We eat apples and honey for a sweet new year on Rosh Hashanah, so it would be extra appropriate to do a bee and an apple. <3 I think that’s a great project and it’s wonderful that you found an art activity that helps you cope.

I identity as queer because gender makes everything twice as difficult to explain without it. Kiddo identifies as queer for the same reason but also because "it's a fun word to say!" Be both agree though that it's a word that feels like "home"

I love this! Queer definitely feels like home to me too!

ineffectualdemon replied to your post “¦dealing with death is weird because i don’t know how to act. there’s...”

Grief is weird. I didn't feel guilt when my grandfather died but it sent me into a very bad mental health state. When my uncle and grandmother died I was still sad but managed to cope better. One thing I have found though is mark anniversaries of the death on your calendar. Because even though it'll be 10 years this October I always consciously forget when my grandfather died but still unconsciously get depressed at the end of Oct because of my Grandfather's death.

Keeping it in the calendar means I can look and go "oh yeah that's why"

But no one can or should be grief ridden and sad 24/7. You are allowed to feel happy sometimes and it's normal and healthy to be so. But yeah grief is weird and makes you feel weird and every death affects you differently depending on your relationship with the deceased

Lastly you're important to and I'm so sorry you're having to go through this and I'm very sorry for your loss

I think I’m used to him not being here because we spent a long time of our lives being separated due to our dad and his fucked up ways of thinking. So my brother wasn’t always around but at least I knew he was there and I had the chance to see him whenever I could. Then I lived with him really closely for two years and while that was an experience of its own, it reminded me of when we were kids and it was just us and our mother. 

We were the three musketeers because it was us against the world but we had each other. 

I guess I’m in that mindset of he’s gone but he’s going to come back or I can go and visit him. It all doesn’t feel real yet and I’m dreading the day that it does because it’s not going to be...good at all. 

I really miss him but we have two anniversaries. The day that he was buried and the his birthday which is a month apart. So he’s going to be remembered because he was loved so so much and it’s not fair but...what can you do?

Thank you so much and all I can do is keep pushing on while reminding myself that it’s okay to grieve the way in my own way.

I may have missed you posting about it but are you elsewhere on the webs? Trying to follow as many people as I can on various platforms

I actually am not many other places on the web! I am not really at risk of being kicked from tumblr until the whole site collapses one day though. Being mostly a text blog.

My AO3 is here and you can always message me anywhere I exist. And read my dumb stuff.

I have a Grown Up Blog at https://metafax.wordpress.com/, but I haven’t made a new article for a while. I’ve been kind of crunched with work, health, and writing projects.

You can find me on Discord as @betterbemeta​, same as here. I’m interested in what servers my mutuals frequent, too!

I’m also @betterbemeta on the Elder Scrolls Online, lol. I play on the PC, on the US server and usually you can catch me and my partner at least logging in to check our mail at 7:00 PM EST.

I don’t really have an active twitter, though I should get one soon if that’s where the web is going. I’m probably never going back to deviantart, it’s just too old to catch up on.

And if you really care I guess you can find me on facebook but you’ll have to message me privately as it’s linked to my real name.

Not sure if you saw my addition but wanted to let you know that on Twitter the hashtag #Istandwithtranspeople is filled with cis lesbians and gay men utterly condemning the terfs at London Pride and loudly staring their support for trans people. It’s heartening to read

I didn’t, and I appreciate you telling me!  One little thing I can do to make sure terfs know that they’re a jackass minority.

I start smiling whenever I see you update a story because they make me so happy! You’re a brilliant writer and I have mad respect for your skills

WHAT SKILL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?

I don’t really have any skill, or I don’t think I do? I honestly get really frustrated with my own work because it never reads the way I want it too.

But, I’m glad I can bring a smile to your day!

I already know what I’m doing for the next chapter, and I can promise you, there will be lots of smiling and squeals from all my readers

Adorable Yuri anyone ;)

Also, should I do another writing stream? Can you ever call it a stream if all I’m doing is using a google doc to let people watch me write?
