hey gang so. last i posted was in 2020, i had big ambitions for the works i had here but, to put it plainly i will likely no longer be touching these works, here nor ao3.
i received a heartwarming message on my tumblr today (how they found me idk, i have a new acct name than i did before) that reminded me that i started here almost 10 years ago (I'm 22 now lol) and grew a lot since. but it was you all who inspired me to become a writer.
I kept pursuing my craft, I graduated recently and, in the face of this awful election, have been reminded why I do this—in a world where the masses may not care about art, there are people who do, people who need just a little something to get through the day. Whether its to be heard, or to be seen, or even to laugh. I've had people reach out then and now telling me how much my work had an effect on them, and that's what I hope to achieve.
My new ao3 is lamentingmidna, I've already written some things on there but I'm planning more. Outside of that I write short stories and screenplays, and in my writing endeavors I found my girlfriend (I *really* struggled with my identity while I wrote for you all.)
I hope you all are taking care of yourselves. Read more, write more, amplify BIPOC and LGBTQ voices. Diversify your palette. Never be afraid to use your voice, even on a silly little word doc that no one sees but you.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.
