:D

you know what? you know what??

i am DAMN proud of my fanfiction.

i know what is important to me (love) and i stick to it in my stories. i make sure they matter, and i make sure that what matters to me is in them always.

plus i have learned so much and developed my skills in many different ways since i started writing! things that used to be unthinkable are now possible!

plus, the things i've written are good enough to make other people have emotions AND good enough to create a little and beautiful community.

so yeah. i'm proud of what i do.

(and i'm not even gonna give a disclaimer or immediately walk it back! even though i definitely feel the urge to do so! So THERE.)

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 a field of sunflowers for you. i have systematically removed every biting insect with tweezers because pesticides are bad. it took one million hours. all for your frolicking enjoyment

Aww, you're so sweet! And thank you for leaving the precious non-bitey pollinators to enjoy the flowers with me. There's a common public perception that STEM people are hostile to the arts; that we do nothing but mock the "soft" sciences while sitting on our self-built throne of hard facts. And... yeah, I admit, it's a pretty common thing to see and hear among undergraduates, graduates, and early career persons. There's a weird moral superiority in there that I admit I too once dipped my toes into. I don't think it's helped much by modern universities having such a structured "well rounding" course set that most academics dread getting through. But fuck do we need the arts and soft sciences. The axioms that we use to build mathematics, which is the tool we use for the rest of STEM, are all philosophical concepts. The principles of geology are all philosophical, with no actual math behind them. A good sized chunk of topology and topological science inspirations are a result of people crumpling shit up or looping/knotting yarn and wondering how things hold together. The systems we use to communicate research are the result of linguistics, and understanding how to communicate them to different groups relies on psychology and sociology. Even beyond that, I do think art makes life worth living. I'd be a miserable pile of goop if all I did in my decades was take data and crunch numbers. Instead I spend my free times working out, doing bad crochet for hand exercises, reading smut and non-smut, reciting favorite poems to my partner, fucking, and so on. I can give a whole detailed life-to-literature analysis of why my favorite poet should be considered The Great American Poet for the the early 20th Century; I've done it before, and I'm usually met with blank stares from people who absolutely could not normally see me reading a book of poetry much less talking influence.

Anyway, please keep drawing and practicing your art. I enjoy much of it, and I know others do too. Definitely put in the effort of completing your degree and finding work you enjoy, but don't forget to be an actual person when you need to be.

I thought I sent one of these, but just in case here's a 🌻! 😊

Would you like to know some of my favourite words? :D 20+ years ago when Mr. Ninja and I first met, one of our early conversations was the both of us listing words we liked. My contribution at the time was enraptured, asunder, and receptacle. Recently added to the list is marcescent, which just might be the prettiest word I know!

For the record, Mr. Ninja says that he likes extemporaneous, exfiltrate, and ruminate :)

In the past days some lovely people turned not only my dash into a sea of sunflowers and spread joy and smiles. This is so amazing, thank you for brightening the days of so many simmers! And a special thanks to those who put some seeds in my inbox, too! @papermint-airplane @ninjaofthepurplethings @nocturnalazure

🌻 mayhaps ? (-alexpalou)

Corey, I was like is dis u???? You remind me of: moto2 and moto3 babies including beloved Dennis and Tony, the scent of fresh sea air and the seaside, the colour pale pastel green, Jaume Masia, the sound a FE engine makes, collecting new journals, the feeling when you finish something that you spent time on, irises and the many many motorsports you follow ❤

send me a 🌻 and i'll tell you what you remind me of

It freaked me out at first, but the theme song for Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! has really grown on me.

I mean, look at this!

Don't try and tell me this wouldn't startle you after roughly three minutes of totally normal childhood stuff.
