Doing my occasional thing that shoukd really happen more often of poking my head out of the sand to say smth, and uhhh. I've started writing my first original trilogy. And I've never finished any single original storyline book I've written, so I'm damned n e r v o u s because it's timeline-intensive. There's so much going on, and I'm real glad so much of the lore was fleshed out in tiktok dms lol, because it's real comprehensive, and if I didn't have it written down I feel I'd be liable to forget it, ha!
The books take place centuries apart, and only two of them in the same kingdom. It's Narnia inspired and queer experience inspired and my-life inspired, so even if literally no one sees this, it'll warm my heart a little to have this here, because so many of the more inspiring times of my life have been had here. The pandemic was a weird time, but the community I found here, the parasocial relationships I formed and severed, yeesh, and the friends I've made, one of whom has his number in the cell phone I don't have access to right now, love ‘im, has shaped me in a way few other things can claim. To think Pokémon ships got me here, geez lol.
I know I'm not super active here anymore, but the year and a half-ish I did spend here was one of the most influential years of my whole life. I'd be a whole different person if not for that. I appreciate that reality, and the people who made it so, a wholeee lot. Thank you :)
