That’s a fine ass worm if you ask me
I haven’t been posting because I’ve been doing life stuff for a minute but I promise once I get aforementioned life stuff back in order I’m gonna be doing some top of the line ship posts and bad art for all three of you.
tbf i only read skyward and its sequel so i’m making my judgments on his writing on them, but i think it’s fine bc they’re relatively new books of his.
it felt as if he wrote the book like the mc was a boy and then switched it to a girl later on due to her oddly stereotypical male traits. don’t get me wrong, i’m all for a confident mc who breaks gender stereotypes, but the characterization of the mc, or the way he wrote her personality, rubbed me the wrong way. she was kind of like a mix of exaggerated naivety and familiar male arrogance. in other words, i felt like sanderson was pushing a stereotypical guy’s personality onto spensa to make her “different” rather than her own personality with no attachments to such stereotypical male behavior.
however, i’ll admit that there was a good redemption arc and the character development of spensa toward the end of the first book was so good. also, overall, there was decent worldbuilding and plot though.
upon further reflection, i’m pretty sure that sanderson turned me off of dystopian/fantasy; i haven’t read a dystopian book since last reading skyward and starsight in 2020. when he published cytonic, i just couldn’t care less because of how turned off i was from his characterization of spensa.
for insight, my fav dystopian book (and really, it’s in my top 3 books ever) is the scythe series by neal shishterman. goddamn is that trip the best. they’re pretty difficult to get through in the first half but everything picks up toward the second half. the scythe series is so worth reading, i promise you.
all that said, i still have respect for sanderson writing like 5 books in 2 years (or so i’ve heard) and having thousands of people donate millions bc they love his work so much.
unpopular opinion: i dislike brandon sanderson’s writing
Back from the Dead, I live.
TL;DR: Sappy bitch venting to the void. I'm going through a life change and lost my spark, found it and some new sukuna smut finna hit the streets.
~small font activated bc talking about my life makes me feel nervous idk👉🏾👈🏾~
Hey ya'll, It feels like it's been a while since I've posted on here and interacted with anyone outside of liking posts and looking for new reads. I just wanted to give a quick life update and announce the end of my unofficial unplanned hiatus.
First things first: Ya girl now has a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science! Yes bitch, I finally graduated, and it's been a whirlwind. So much of my life has been tied to school so now I have to figure out what to do now that I'm out and have no plans of returning in the nearby future.
With me graduating I'm back at home with my family and it's been a struggle finding my rhythm and falling back in line as a member of a household, while still trying to keep my independent mindset. My parents were so quick to put me back on dish duty and other shit and my ass was not ready.
It's been a big adjustment and with that comes mental health issues arising and making mountains out of molehills. Post-grad depression was waiting on my ass and it's had its hand on me ever since. Plus the stress of finding a job in my field, getting ready to pay loans, trying to avoid conflict with my more conservative family...real life been hard yall. I couldn't find the energy to write and even when I did, I felt guilty for writing when I'm currently unemployed.
I say all this to get it off my chest and just to let anyone reading this that might relate, that you're not alone. While I'm fighting demons, some of my happiest moments have been seeing my tumblr notifications pile up with likes on my series or one-shots. I'm a sensitive and dramatic person at the end of the day, so please know I'm not exaggerating when I say every like and reblog and follow has warmed my heart.
Speaking off, a big hello and hug to all 179 of you that decided to follow me. Thank you for looking through and liking my junk.
Okay, enough sappy shit and venting. Let's get to business.
New Sukuna smut finna hit the streets, and I'm working on my next shipment WIPs( next shipment can be found through my pinned post)
Okay, bye ya'll.☺️
I don't think anyone realizes how legitimately terrifying it can be too see someone who never cries break down sobbing. Like, my dad is the most emotionally detatched person I know and one time when I was little I hid under the blankets on my parents' bed when I was mad and they couldn't find me and when they did my dad was bawling and that shit was absolutely fucking terrifying. Like, it can be sweet and all, but it's also super scary sometimes.
“Don’t let life define you. Life can pass you by, beat you up, stress you out. It can also give you a reason to live. A reason to smile. A reason to get up in the morning. Life is meant to be lived. One thing or another along the way will probably make living that life hard. Almost impossible at times. But when I feel the warmth of sunshine. When I hear the sound of laughter. Or try something new and amazing. Whether I end up liking it or not. All those things. They make it worth it. I don’t always see that. Don’t always feel it. But it’s there. It comes and it goes. And I always look forward to finding it again. Life was made to be experienced. And I’m not going to let an image of what’s expected of me stop me from living it. From experiencing it. So don’t let life define you. Just live it.”

your comfort is complicity.
someone tagged one of my fundraising posts with "cw palestine". there are no photos on my post, no graphic descriptions. just people's names and how far they are from their goals. even if i had included photos or recounted suffering in intricate detail, how dare you? how fucking dare you put a content warning on people BEGGING for your attention when your tax dollars sponsor their destruction? no one can turn away and still claim a conscience.
here are more palestinians who have reached out to me in the past week.

This is interesting, especially because now her best friends are three ladies lol. Considering how insulted she took Sophie "abandoning" her, she probably is very scared of forming close relationships with other women and probably doesn't hate them. I feel like I can attest to how different male friendships can be to female ones cause I have both. She also has mommy issues, in a sense, so maybe she just has a hard time with women. Not to mention the two most popular girls in their grade were quite rude or mean.
Marella also probably chose to help Sophie because she saw that Sophie was different than everyone else and thought that they would be able to relate to each other on that level and get along. And then when Sophie didnt become her one best friend to fight all the normie kids and instead became even closer to the popular kids, it probably hurt. So she flocked to other (yes, still "popular") ostracized girls instead and she found a group who lets her be who she is and feel understood so yay!
So hopefully that made any sense, I'm half asleep still right now. But basically, Marella was a pick me girl in the first book but she also probably was out of fear.
so nobody's going to talk about this?
“Sometimes I let boys sit with me, but I’m not a fan of girls. Girls are annoying.” She shot Sophie a warning look, like she was ordering her not to be obnoxious. “Like, check out Princess Prettypants over there.” She pointed to Biana and rolled her eyes. “I’d rather hang out with a bunch of goblins.”
Sophie grinned. She couldn’t understand how such a grumpy brat could be related to Alden and Della—or Fitz.
“Her brother’s cute, though,” Marella said, her voice turning dreamy. “What I wouldn’t give . . .”

marella being the pick-me-est girl literally ever but still somehow pulling it off is hilarious. so glad she got her own character arc, she's such a fire character (no pun intended).
