i cant even properly explain how it emotionally affects me when my cat comes up to me for cuddles. small creature walks up to me, a giant, in search of a gentle touch, because he trusts me completely. that is what love is. that is what the universe is built for. i want to cry
hi Tumblr I live
I was too sick to think for a few years but I'm gradually regaining the strength to think Large Writing Thoughts and I'm happily picking at a rough draft yay! I'm reworking my Stories of Aligare so the world is even softer and weirder and queer-er than ever. The new project name will be Our Long-Steeped Remedies. The deaths will be toned waaaaaay down and the formerly ant-like people are now gentle vegetarian spiders.
You know what else? I like "sweetweird" as a descriptor. Building happiness in the face of a frightening, confusing world? Refusing to answer cruelty with more cruelty? Centering friendship and kindness? Yes. I think my writing has always been a bit sweetweird. More of this in the world, please.
haven't been well lately, but I sure am..... thinking about adding stuff to my site........
A little shout-out to the writers who passionately adore writing original fiction with their whole heart and soul to the point of obsession but have no interest in Doing a Conventional Publishing (trad or mainstream self-pub) about it and happily share our writing in other ways.
We might be in a small corner of writeblr and other online writing spaces, but I love that we exist 💜
I’m all scratched up and I can still taste spray paint in my mouth and my husband almost fell out of a tree BUT THE GHOST SCULPTURES ARE FINISHED!
They’re finally finished and I’m so happy with them!!
Some progress shots:
Due to inflation, events that are going to happen later in the story now have to be fiveshadowed
A completely random phrase I wrote down on my phone at some point and which I didn’t want to leave languishing there forever, so slapped this little thing together. I do wonder what sort of fortunes she tells.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
dragons love disrupting financial institutions, its vital enrichment for them
whether this is giant ones smashing banks or small ones cyberbullying entrepreneurs, its good and healthy for them
Please remember this if you're planning on getting a pet dragon! Too many people think it's enough to simply give them a pile of coins and a dark lair to put them in. Remember, not giving your dragon the enrichment they need could very well lead to an out of control house fire, no matter their size!
I hope this picture of a quetzal makes your day at least a little bit better :)
what did you create today bud? maybe you created a thought about a balloon? maybe a breakfast this morning? maybe a look at a dog trotting by. maybe a heartbeat? it is incredible how much art you are making all the dang time. you are SO prolific
I wish there was more representation of disabilities and chronic illness in fantasy, science fiction and action genres.
Not just a side character with 30 seconds of screentime. An important character that doesn't just exist to further the storylines of other characters. I want a character that doesn't get "cured" or healed. A character that stays disabled and/or chronically ill. A character that isn't afraid to ask for help. One that doesn't think they're a burden and doesn't try to hide their disability/ chronic illness.
I want to see how it affects them, not just know they're disabled/chronically ill and it jist never gets mentioned again. I don't mean it should be their entire personality but being disabled and or chronically ill can affect many parts of life.
I just wish there was more representation of disabilities and chronic illness that shows every part of it. Especially in fantasy and science fiction it's lacking.
Hi, I'm Heidi (she/her). I'm more than three decades old, and I've been off and on Tumblr for years. (kinda miss the tumbeasts ngl)
but rn!! I'm here on this account to let people know!! that I am posting my cozy fantasy stories on a Neocities so people can just read them for free if they want!! it'll be like a serial fiction thing, I'll put up more chapters and short stories once in a while. (might be slow depending on my health, just so ya know)
Got a few chapters of my first book, Remedy, posted now. It's a character-focused medical drama set in a human-free fantasy world. A kind-hearted pandemic story set among dragons, weasels and bug people who have disabilities and trauma, and they use their varied skills and magical abilities to help each other. Summary and content warnings are on the site!
Y’all write that self indulgent thing you’ve been wanting to write for yourself write what you want to read write what makes you happy
In honour of disability pride month, we made a disability Pride Knight! Stay proud! ⚔️🌈
