"Mia kind of sucked actually" yeah geez she only grew up in a resentful death cult, got parentified at age 12, fled the only home she's ever known to avoid being pitted against that same sibling she had to raise, graduated law school alone, overcame trauma and depression to start a successful law firm alone in her mid-20's, and spent whatever free time she had researching emotionally painful cold cases and planning to take down a corrupt CEO. even if therapists existed in the trilogy (real therapy, not Athena's bs), when would Mia have had the time? she covered an incredible amount of ground just breaking free of Kurain and adapting to the world outside the village - again, without anyone she could entirely trust to catch her if she fell. but still, she changed and grew as a person in just the 3-year span we knew her. she got much better at managing her anxious and aggressive tendencies. she was more openly supportive toward Phoenix than any adult was to her. and she was literally TRYING to open up more to Phoenix and Maya on the night she died, by introducing those two halves of her life to each other despite the risks! if Mia Fey "sucked", then how high a standard should women be held to, hmm?
Brought this beautiful kitty home from the thrift store. It looks like an employee found her endearing, too.
(Image ID: A ceramic cat statue about 12 inches/30 centimeters tall, photographed from several angles. The cat is slender and off-white, sitting with her black-tipped paws tucked tightly together and her black tail wrapped around her body. She’s stretching upward as though trying to charm a person into petting her. She has artistic flourishes drawn all over her in a sketchy, ink-brush-like style — including a pink flower blossom on top of her head, a red heart on her chest, leaves down the back of her neck, and multi-coloured fish spilling plentifully up her lower back. Her eyelashes and whiskers are thickly lined in a way resembling mascara, and her human-like lips are red. A handwritten price sticker on the cat’s chest says, “She has a sore [left] ear :( $22″ She does indeed have a small chip missing from the tip of her left ear.)

Bonus:
For those of you who want to lock all of your works with all the silly AI scraping of AO3 (which AO3 is recommending you lock your works, as stated in this post)
Here is a quick and easy guide of how to edit ALL of your works at once.
From your Dashboard click on “edit works” on the far right. This will bring up all of your works that you can select.
Select all the works you want to edit, then hit “Edit” at the bottom right.
Scroll to nearly the bottom of the page where you find “Visibility” and select “only show to registered users” and then update at the bottom.
That’s it, all of your works have now been locked without having to go in and edit each fic individually.
I hope this helps!
*it may not seem like I can be, but seeing that someone needed to hear it and so they let me say it makes me so so proud. It’s a bit of an oroboros but we’re ignoring that. <3
a new acrylic painting of mine :) called "Sparrow"
I love to use my disability “as an excuse.” Fuck yeah my disability is an excuse. It’s the most valid excuse I have. I’m not helping you lift that box/etc because my disability would make it fucking painful. Not wanting to be in pain is a good enough reason. I’m not going to put myself in pain to comfort your sensibilities.
Yes I’m using my disability as an excuse because I refuse to hurt myself for you. If you’re mad about it you can cry! ❤️
