Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans! My fireworks got cancelled due to weather, so we got stuff from Buc-ee’s instead. What’s your favorite part of the 4th?

Hopping on here to say Happy Juneteenth to all who celebrate!

Shoutout to the beagles and husky on our block who taught one of my dogs how to howl. Fun times.

What’s your Ao3 username?

Here’s a wholesome post for your day: my first experience with real snow. I’m obviously Southern, and we got hit by a snowstorm last night. Pretty much my entire college campus was outside playing for hours. There were grown men shrieking and giggling, y’all. It was so fun! We had a snowball fight in a parking lot, built tiny snowmen (could’ve built a real one, but we’re not good at that, it turns out) and made snow angels! Then I walked around campus taking a bunch of pictures! 
          
          Here’s some things I learned about snow: it’s really big. You can see the actual snowflakes a lot! I’m used to snow that’s barely snow and  a few flakes falling here and there but NO. It comes down just like rain, like in the movies! (don’t mock me, I’ve never seen it!) AND IT SPARKLES? ! It’s like glitter!!! It’s so pretty! And it gets deep really quickly. We got like three inches in a couple hours. That’s more snow than I’ve seen in my life combined! When it snows hard, it gets in your mouth when you’re trying to talk! It crunches a lot but gives really easily when you jump in it.
          
           I keep looking out window, grinning and giggling like a maniac because it’s still there! AND my classes are cancelled! Hope y’all have as good a day as I had yesterday!

I hope everyone is having a happy new year! To those following Out of the Shadows, it has been moved and continued over on AO3; I will drop the link in a reply. If you don’t have AO3, but want the updates, I may upload them here after I finish it if that’s what y’all want. To everyone else- any projects you want updates to that I haven’t gotten around to or cool life updates?

I just realized that I haven’t updated In the Shadows on here since July! I’m so sorry. I’ve been cross-posting it on AO3 and had no idea I didn’t keep the updates coming here. My drafts got deleted on my phone, but I will attempt to get an update up soon, sorry about that!

hey dude, are you okay after the election results?

VOTING TIME! For me! But also, the US. (Go vote. Please decide who first, though.) If I get bored and do something random, do y’all want that random thing to be an update to a completely random story of my choice, or a personal lore drop? 

I’m not dead, but I am one of 3 million people in Georgia, USA without power. Most places don’t have any cell service. There’s no internet. I had to go to a different county to post this. We still are going to be without power for at least 3 more days, at worst, maybe weeks. No timeline on internet. Schools are closed. I’m fortunate to be able to return to college soon, where we have electricity and cell service; albeit no internet.  Please pray for my state and the others affected by Hurricane Helene. It’s going to be a long road to recovery for us.
