On gender crisis: it's also okay to decide that you're not always a woman or sometimes something other than a woman and then just. Not do anything about it. Obviously if you want to take it further with pronouns or anything else more power to you. But being gender non conforming or nb or genderfluid or anything else doesnt mean you have to take any particular steps to own that. You can just decide and explore or anything and have that be enough if that's what you want. Taking it further and/or making a final decision is not an obligatory part of being something other than cis. Whatever you decide and wherever it takes you I wish you the best!

I’m starting to learn that more and more. I like that it’s a silent part of me that I know about (until I share about it of course). Thank you for the well wishes and wish the same for you 💕

have you shared photos of your wall of swords before? because I need to see your wall of swords so that i can be adequately jealous of it

Ahaha, SO I’ve shared some pics a while back in various places, but all the photos I’ve got handy in one place here: 

Moar wall swords:

And the Bucket O’ Swords (and daggers), for those awkwardly shaped to hang:

Also the one that I keep beside my bed for Reasons:

It is made from an old railroad spike. This way, if stabbing doesn’t work in the short term, I can still have my revenge in the long term via tetanus.

(Not pictured: my bo and kamas from karate and epee from fencing.) 

I’ve been collecting weapons for... a while, lol.

Anybody else have Tumblr Weirdness when trying to type a comment?  Every time I typed an L, it toggled the “Like” heart on and off.  Wouldn’t let me use the letter.  I had to type my message in the search bar, then paste it in.

Birthday selfie! My hair looks good today. (And so does my new lip stain)

azalea, lily, sunflower :)

azalea : what’s one word that describes you ?

Oh, there’s a lot of words that could describe me >.> One of the biggest (and my least favorite) is “SHY”. Or a variation like “QUIET” -_- I like to think of myself as “SENSITIVE” or “EMPATHETIC” so I’ll be sticking with those, thank you very much!! ^^

lily : what’s something you’ve achieved that you’re really proud of ?

Ehh I might’ve said it before, but to those that have NO idea, I was offered a publishing deal over the summer~ :3 I’m getting published later this year, and I could not be prouder of achieving such an opportunity! <3

sunflower : what’s your favorite quote ?

Aaa I don’t really have a favorite quote, sorry~ x3c

Thanks for the ask! ^^

[tsfennec]

Thank you for the tag, @prideandpen :)

Nickname: I have so many. Around here, people mostly call me Fennec, though ^^

Height: 5′3″-ish, on a good day

Hogwarts House: I have... no idea, actually. 

Last thing I googled: When Falcon and Winter Solider is going to be released

Song stuck in my head: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, lol. This is what happens when I babysit my baby niece - it’s her All Time Favorite. 

Favorite Instrument: Violin, probably? There are a lot that I like.

Number of followers: 845 

Amount of sleep: Uh, probably 6-8 hours on average, but lately it has been... less.

Lucky number: I really don’t give any though to that kind of thing, tbh

Dream Job: ... stay-at-home homeschooling mom? I mean, ideally I’d still like to be doing editing and writing on the side, but that is The Dream

Wearing: Pajamas and a big, fluffy robe because Cold

Favorite song: So many different faves of different types, but "I’ll Think of You” has been long term high on the list.

Aesthetic: Eh, I feel like that’s kinda hard for me to pin down, but left to myself, I guess it tends to be books and swords and random geeky stuff + coziness.  

Favorite author: Oof. You can’t expect me to just CHOOSE ONE. I’ve been on a major Megan Whalen Turner kick lately, though, obviously. XD

Favorite animal noise: Again. So many. But also if hearing a cheetah purring doesn’t make your day better, I don’t know what will.

Tagging... whoever sees this and would like to participate?

@prideandpen replied to your photo “I thought I’d do a few different dragons for Smaugust, but then… I...”

I love it! He's a fluffy dragon!!

:D :D Thank you! Their fur is sheared or plucked like angora rabbits to be used for textiles, so they’re semi-domesticated, but still... very large omnivores.

Once you receive this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send this to the last 7 people in your notifications 💙

<3 <3 <3 Let’s see, facts...

1. I am so bad at golfing that my brother (who golfed competitively for quite some time) finally gave up on teaching me after I accidentally hit the ball further backward than I could get it to go forward.  

2. Technically, I am both an oldest and middle child. (Half-siblings 20+ years older than me, so were adults off starting their own families when I was born.)

3. I can whistle through my teeth, much to the delight and confusion of small children, who cannot work out how I’m making that noise.
