#mutant problems

I used to be such a klutz when I first got my mutation. I could barely hold a cup of water when I was trying to use both sets. But now look at me! I’m so happy with how much my hand eye coordination has improved over the past five years! I can throw pottery now and do the dishes. I can even play a decent game of smash using both sets!

Sorry for not posting in a while

Dying and being resurrected sure can take a lot out of a girl

"I was forcibly removed with a pair of tongs" - :O they still do that?

They did in late 1981, anyway?  As I understand it, forceps are only used these days in about 2%-3% of births.  Bottom line, I was the kind of long, dangerous labor that would have killed my mom in any number of earlier eras, and I wouldn’t have survived, either.

(In hindsight, my reasons for wanting no part of this world were probably valid.)

hello!! i just wanted to tell you that every single one of your fics is a delight to read. you are the first writer i found when i joined the fandom (i first read "when you find it, run to it" aka the fic that made me fall in love with your writing and the fic that makes me yell "WE COULD HAVE HAD IT AAAALL" lmao) and (not to be dramatic but) everytime you publish something new my day gets better. you are so talented and and awesome i hope you have a nice day & great holiday in general!!

Hello, new Tumblr friend!  I’m sorry for the delay in responding to this.  I’m in my first of four airports today (en route to see @thebloggerknownasgeeknip, a.k.a. raven_aorla), and clearing security is my least favorite because the TSA scanners don’t seem to understand being breastless is a thing.  Hurrah for gratuitous pat-down delays, only not so much.

Thanks for connecting, and I’m always happy to hear about my stories being the ones to get somebody into a fandom!  Heaven knows I had about three people who spent two years trying to get me to watch the show, and the moment I finally caved in and watched was enough to ensure I’d never be able to walk away without (gladly) doing a ton of work.

Happy Holidays to you, too, @cobblpot!  If you have travel plans, stay safe, and have fun.

To truly love the ocean/to be part sea creature, you have to respect it, and what better way to respect something than to have it almost kill you?! At least in my experience. (this was before my cousin and I got pulled out too far and couldn't touch and I swim back, pulling him, panicked and floundering, back to shore so I feel like I came out even more fish like). It is an extremely odd sensation though, I've never felt more disconnected, and in less control of my body

Oh, I agree with that wholeheartedly.  Experience a force as terrifying as that firsthand and live to talk about it?  Yep, it definitely adjusts one’s perspective!  You got your cousin out of that like a BAMF.  I have this thing where, the times I’ve snorkeled (which is difficult because I flat-out feel like I can’t breathe through the tube even though it lends access to air), I manage to get really close to fish, or they get really close to me, and it’s kind of like the bond I have with my aquarium fish.  I don’t know; I feel like I just know how to communicate with them or seem nonthreatening or whatever.  Even animals I don’t always like (dogs, mostly) seem to like me, but it goes double for aquatic ones.  I’ve kept aquariums and raised and cared for and bred fish all my life.

I’ve been living in the desert for a year and a half now, which I think is super hilarious.  All my friends out here say it has rained more since my arrival than they can ever remember, and this was in response to my observing that it rained more often than I expected.  And in the indigenous mythologies of this landscape, there are impressive water monsters, so I suppose I haven’t come to a place that’s totally devoid of creatures with which I identify.

After reading your last post and a whole other plethora of things about yourself on here, I've decided that you are one of the most interesting people that I've found on the internet/had the chance to interact with. If someone ever again asks me later in life, 'Who is/was the most curious person you've ever known?' You can bet your bottom that I'll be changing it from Spiderman (as my 10 year-old-self would have said) to irisbleufic on Tumblr. Kudos, as Spiderman is hard to beat. 💙

In which case, my friend, I’m honored, because Spiderman is super curious! ♥

calicovirus said: i’ve long held that since you’re a Poet, life always made sure that Events would happen to you. normal people who aren’t going about being Poets don’t have Events. but you’re a Poet and so must have Events.

It brings into a play a kind of chicken-and-egg argument, you have to admit.  Did the constant and outlandish events make a writer of me, or did the fact I’m inclined to writing make me look at the events on a portentous scale?  Then again, if forces outside our ken regularly look at humans who engage in making art and say, Yeah, let’s allocate the big stuff to those ones, they’ll use it well, hopefully to comfort others in hardship and to teach—well, who knows.
