My thoughts...my thoughts are vast. I have a lot of them just knocking about my head. And after the fourth rant of why Oreos are badass to my therapist, I realized I needed to let them out. So this is that. An open diary. If you're not in the mood for the rambling of a very...self-entitled, little bit deluded, or a literal dumpster fire of a person...you should probs leave. But I'm- I like talking. So this is me just talking. I feel like it'll be a journey. One to look back on. Or pretend never happened. But the main character is me. So here we go.

❝galilea mckinnon was a waterling; the salt of the frothy sea, the lily pads that dawned the shallow's edge of a weathering pond.❞ this is a girl x girl story between cho and an oc i created (the daughter of lesbian, marauder era couple marlene mckinnon and docras meadowes. her name is galilea mckinnon). these chapters are very short and written mostly in prose. beauty is rated mature for many reasons. themes such as domestic violence, cursing, depression, suicidal ideation, assault, internalsied homophobia, homophoia, racism, and smut will potentially be visited in this story. i don't speak mandarin and my italian is good but not great, so, feel free to correct me if you see any mistakes and you speak either language. to be fair, correct me if you see any mistakes in english as well. i'm dyslexic and dysgraphic, and i often make really stupid errors. this story means a lot to me. it's the first time i've ever written an oc, and it's pretty out of my comfort zone. i usually stick to hp characters only, because i always doubt myself as a writer, but i didn't want to do that this time around. this story is an ode to cho. she doesn't deserve all the hate she gets, and i was dead tired of writing about mostly white characters. hp, though it's the greatest love of my life, has its faults. i think its lack of diversity is probably first in line. ❝yalong with its lapping briny and its star-filled sky (and most importantly, galilea) was the place were dreams truly came true... never, ever america.❞
