I started a new job this week! Yay!!!!!
However I need some help. You see between now & when I get paid, I donāt have any source of income for things like bills and food that canāt be put off.
(Originally it was higher, but Twitter helped me get a little over halfway there. I forgot to post here too for a bit. Iām putting off everything that I can afford to until my first paycheck, which should be at the end of the month.)

Please reblog!
If more people see it, thereās a better chance someone who can help even a smidge will see it too. Thatās why shares matter. So if nothing else, please reblog! It makes a difference, I promise.
Thank you for your help as I get back on my feet. š
Currently rewriting the first part of my novel because I hate the beginning.
Aint that swell?
I love writing. But it takes me forever to feel somewhat satisfied with a chapter. I do so mUCH research to make sure everything makes sense in the world.
I KNOW WE ALL FREAKING LOVED THIS. But also. THE MUSIC. Like, we gotta talk about the soundtrack. The guitar flamenco style was just so beautiful and brilliant, you could dance to the soundtrack.
Me with my fantasy novel lmaooo
THIS. Sheās so queer coded! I literally gaped with the scenes about the conversion camps. They could have used any other set of words, like transformation, or metamorphosis, or wolf shifting! But they said conversion.
And not only did they say conversion camps. But Enid was actively scared to go there. Why would she be scared to go to a camp that is supposed to help werewolves shift? What do they do to them there to try to get them to shift? Not only that, but her mother explicitly tells her ādonāt you want to shift and finally be normal honey?!ā AND Enid later tells her mother āI just hope one day you can finally accept me for who I amā
Enidās fear of being kicked out of the pack in the first episode, not finding a mate, because sheās not a normal werewolf. That is literally the experience of a queer teen with a family they cannot trust with their identity; being afraid of being kicked out, of never finding someone who will love them, dying alone as the odd one out, etc.
Like. WTF!! Thatās literally a queer teenās way of thinking and speaking.
THERE IS NO WAY THE WRITERS HAVE ADDED ALL THESE DETAILS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN WITHOUT CONSIDERING HOW QUEER IT READS.
They made Enid Sinclair dress is lesbian flag colours the first time we see her and then proceeded to be like look at her relationship with her parents. Look her parents trying to send her to werewolf conversion therapy. They dressed Wednesday and Enid like the two ends of the lesbian fashion spectrum meme. And then have the audacity to try to claim Enid is cis-het???? Sir, that is a queer person!
I just updated my fantasy novel! (Still working on editing the 1 part cuz Iām not very convinced. Will probably edit this newest one more too)
The week before a trip
I have one week left before my 2 week trip to Japan as a foreign student. Iām excited, anxious, sort of scared. Also absolutely overwhelmed by piles of homework the new semester has thrust upon me.
I worry for the coming trip and whether I have the language skills to stand out and socialize with everyone.
The coming weeks will likely determine what the next decade of my life will look like, and I find myself at a crossroads; will I go study a new career or specialization in Norway, or Japan?
Iāve been pondering that question for a while now. Whether I should go spend 4 years studying in Norway or Japan; to which country am I going to dedicate years of my life to?
Which one is safest for me? Which one will offer the most cultural enrichment and knowledge? Which will nurture my true nature?
I donāt know the answers. I suppose time will tell.
You just read my mind. Honestly, if theyāre going to try to put romance in the series, either write it correctly or donāt add it in at all. In my opinion/hc, to me Wednesday has always read as a character in the aroacespectrum, and in the series context, she reads to me as graysexual, who barely feels any kind of attraction but starts to feel something for Enid.
The typical love triangle trope and white boy love interests were so painfully cliche and badly written, they soured the series a bit for me. Jenna and Myers were brilliant, and the performance of the 2 boys was just so lackluster in comparison for me, their characters were just horrifyingly bland, there just for the romantic drama. It made no sense.
Why add half-assed written characters just to add unnecessary romantic drama because Wednesday is a teenager? Not all teen series gotta have romantic drama. Not all teens experience romance. I just wished theyād stop with the unnecessary romantic drama with halfļæ¼ written characters with no personality.
"I thought you were giving me signals." Wednesday was like a walking pillar this whole time. No emotions, no facial expressions, no signs of liking one nor the other. She contacted both only when she needed a favour or information. There is literally no reason to think Wednesday is interested romantically in any of them . She helped you repair the coffee machine? She saved you from burning without realizing it? Girl shows minimum of courtesy to a boy and he already believes she's in love with him. The only two characters besides her family she shows genuine liking is Eugene (bcuz he reminds her of Pugsley) and Edin.
TUMBLR, I PRESENT TO YOU THE ONLY ARCANE FANART IāVE MANAGED TO FINISH, as of this date.
Took me a while, but Iām extremely happy and proud of this one. All my work paid off, and I think this one has really shown me my progress.
Jayceās face still icks me though. I KNOW something aināt right, but I couldnāt figure him out. Iām super happy with Viktor though, it really does look like him.
For some reason I struggled for wAy Too long with Jayceās face. Like damn. I thought Vik would be more complicated but nope.
