me reaching out to academics i admire to forge connections and tell them i value their work: good, empowering, intimidating in a positive way, the people are always super nice even though i’m only a measly first-year phd student

me after they reply and ask me what kind of research i’m interested in / working on: bad, stressful, oh god i’m going to make a fool out of myself

I totally agree with you omg. reading my wips that I'll probably never publish is the best feeling tbh, like a hug from my past self. I read them more than stuff I've actually published. also last names are so hard to think of!! if I ever think of a good one for seb's mom I'll make sure to tell you

yeah, exactly! and I think part of it is definitely the self-indulgency of the content and style, but for me it’s also that just by telling myself that no one else will be looking at it, there’s not that self-conscious worry that gets attached to everything I present to other people, no matter how happy I am with the work or how much I do want to share it. (the cons are that I’ll be rereading one of them and go ‘this is really good though’ and want to show it off. and aaaa)

and I appreciate it about the name idea offer! thank you. (names are hard especially when it’s gotta fit multiple people and also assuming I ever actually do anything with my debeste-case scenario au, one that I’d be getting a lot of mileage out of)
