Intro post

Hi! I've been on tumblr for a while now, and I finally decided to make an intro post.

You can call me Lilith, William, or any of the nicknames that come from William, and I'm a 20 year old college student and writer.

I'm working on an urban fantasy paranormal romance called The Despicable Dr. Acula, and I'll talk about my protagonist, Leo, on here a lot!

This is mainly a writing blog, but I will also reblog a lot of fandom stuff, posts my mutuals make, and anything interesting I see on my for you page. I do a lot of reblogs, but all of my original posts will be tagged #my post.

I love participating in tag games and ask games, both writing related and in general! I also really like getting to know other writers on here!

Other things about me:

I have a whump blog: @shakesfeare-whumps

As of now, I've read 14 of Shakespeare's plays, and my favorite is King Lear

I'm aroace (aromantic and asexual)

I'm currently questioning if I am agender

I'm left handed

I like knitting

At the moment, my favorite TV show is JJK (Jujutsu Kaisen) my favorite character is Satoru Gojo (in fact Gojo is my header image)

That's it for now and thanks for reading!

What the heck was that weird honey scene with Jinshi in episode 10 of The Apothecary Diaries?

Gender advice?

Hi everyone, I wanted to let you all know that I've been questioning my gender for a while. Since I cut my hair short this past winter, I've sort of been having feelings that I might not be a woman, and whenever I try to think of what being a woman feels like, I come up blank.

I have always been uncomfortable with makeup, but these past few weeks, I've also felt sort of wrong when wearing certain clothes. An example of this happened a couple weeks ago. I went clothes shopping with my mom and sister, and my mom found a shirt she liked for me. I put it on in the dressing room, but when I saw how it emphasized my breasts, I just felt really sad. However, I didn't feel that way and in fact felt pretty good when trying on more masculine leaning clothes in the dressing room.

When I was a teenager researching asexuality and aromanticism, I also learned about being agender, and it sounded really cool to me. I have been thinking about if I was agender, but I'm not really sure how to tell or even if I'm making the whole thing up.

I'm not sure if I'm agender, another nonbinary label, or still cis, but while I'm figuring it out, I think I'll try experimenting with my pronouns online. I don't think I'm ready to tell anyone irl, but it maybe you all can use any pronouns for me? It would probably help me figure out which, if any, pronouns feel the best. I was also thinking about changing my tumblr name too. I've been going by Lilith, but I would love it if people could also call me William or any of it's nicknames.

And if anyone has any advice on questioning their gender and experimenting, I'd love to hear it!

Hi Dani! I'm not sure if you've answered this before, but do Dania and her doppelgangers interact with each other? If so, what do they think about each other?

Yes they do. And for the most part they do get along.

Damia who’s considered the leader of the D doppelgängers thinks Dania who thrown to the wolves along with the rest of Dania’s family.

She’s more than willing to help catch Dania up, but can be very blunt.

Dalia who’s the most diplomatic is helping give Dania a crash course in the politics of Kaldria.

Dia is teaching Dania the dangers and beauty of Kaldria.

Dalia is the one who thinks she’s not who they need. She’s the most cynical and some would say she and Delia are the most corrupt.

And they are the only ones she’s met so far.

Dania’s the first one.

Then Dalia

Dia’s the one with purple streaks

Daria in pink

Damia in black

Finally Delia

Some people on this website learnt the word “trope” and let it settle comfortably into the vocabulary space that should have been occupied by the word “cliché”.

“Trope” is a neutral word. If a particular trope is overused ad nauseam, it becomes a cliché. Saying you hate tropes does not make any sense.

[faustandfurious]

“I hate recurring themes and motifs”

Well, good luck finding fictional content you can safely consume

[sleepyowlsleeps]

"It's just so trope-y"

well I should hope so

Ok so am I the only one worried about elipsus plus anouncement? Like I know they specifically said it wasn't going to effect current feature that are already free but idk

I'm paranoid, I know

[devilmaycry3dantesawakening]

psa: dumb shit writing advice from an otherwise good word processor.

like a lot of people on here i use Ellipsus for writing so please for the love of god do not take the new premium "writing insights" feature they added yesterday as gospel.

varying up your word choice is generally good to some degree but "at least 60% of your words should be unique" is absurdly bad advice that encourages the "the bluenette ejaculated volumetrically" school of Internet creative writing.

some of the other stats they added seem helpful and their algorithm for this doesn't use any sort of generative AI. but just ignore that percentage counter.

if your animal is lying on the floor, furniture etc, it’s important to take a picture of them. then, if they move or shift in any way, it’s important to take another picture. with this technique, you can take many pictures of your animal

People often say they hope their deceased pet dog is chasing squirrels in doggy heaven… what did all of those squirrels do to deserve an afterlife of torment?

[doggy-puppy-indulgence]

Dog heaven is also squirrel hell it’s a very efficient system.

[ubercharge]

i can’t stop fucking laughing at the thought of squirrels sinning so much in the mortal plane that they have to be sent to squirrel hell to atone

They know that the bird feeder isn’t meant for them
