#low bars

Even if "hasn't yet committed genocidal slaughter" is a low bar to hop, other communities haven't even managed that much. You'll give credit where it's due.

I put twelve files in a folder on Google Drive and created a document with hyperlinks to them and my boss has no idea what I did, but she thinks I’m brilliant.

Not to veer too much into the #adulting sorta thing, but we threw a Friendsgiving, it actually went pretty well, and at the end of the night the place wasn't a disaster. Feel kinda good about myself.

hehehe, ty friend!!

1. things that inspire you

hmm, it’s p random? fandom’s a good inspiration of course, esp since that’s everything i write for, and then my general things i like to write/create for like mermaid things or turning ridiculous events of my life into fun stories. but usually inspiration happens when I chuck an absolutely ridiculous idea at a friend (coughEMILYSILVMIKADOPUMPKINcough) and then we keep chucking ridiculous at each other and somehow a semi-coherent story is born out of that mess and i’m itching to write it lol

11. do you listen to music when writing?

very very very rarely. words distract me and i usually just go with a general noise like rainyday or other noise generators like that for background noise

22. favorite story you’ve ever written

ooooh that’s hard.... okay, i’ve honestly been staring between Low Bars and Treading Dark Waters for like half an hour so i’m cheating bc i’m honestly not sure which i’d pick? Low Bars is v important to me bc it’s primarily about Phichit & Yuuri (and i’ve been v distracted from the next chapter bc of a Thing coming up later on in the fic i’m rly about???), but Treading Dark Waters has a lot of my own mermaid lore/hints at various hcs i rly love?? sorry, i’m cheating, idk how to pick between the two, i just rly love them both ,;__;, 

writing ask

MR: I'll say this, for being a totally introverted misanthrope you're surprisingly good about cultivating relationships/reaching out to new people

Dress for Success

Today one of my 9th graders told me "Wow! You look really cool and businessy today!" I guess because I'm wearing a blazer over my dress and leggings. And in addition to making me feel good, it made me happy that she thought being a business type person could be cool.
