(An acrostic poem I made a while ago. Let me know your thoughts!)

Sweet spring

Sunshine blooms and visits longer,

Winter slush cowers in its presence,

Every inhale contains pollen and petals,

Every glance is vibrant with reviving life,

Times haven’t been so graceful. (except for in fall too)

Sunshine awakens the asleep in the land,

Pressuring them to frolic once more,

Ravishing butterflies float, flutter,

In April, nature showers its garden,

Natural rebirth floods to great heights,

Greetings again, sweet spring.

Babe, we have guests; bring out the fine china ✨

Writer's Block

You’re staring at the page. The cursor blinks like it’s taunting you. You want to write—hell, you even know what you want to write about—but it’s like your brain’s frozen. That, my friend, is the all-too-familiar little bitch known as writer’s block.

So, how do you fight it?

Here’s what’s helped me, and maybe it'll help you too.

1. Write anything, even if it’s trash

Seriously. Open a doc and let yourself write the worst possible version of what you’re trying to say. No pressure. No editing. You can always clean it up later. A messy first draft is better than no draft.

2. Change your scenery

Sometimes your brain just needs a different view. Go outside. Sit at a café. Write on your phone instead of your laptop. A small change can trick your brain into feeling inspired again.

3. Idea dump

Forget structure. Forget plot. Just go full chaos mode. Rant about your characters, the scene, or how much writing sucks today. That little brain dump might lead you to a breakthrough.

4. Read something short and good

A poem. A Tumblr post. A flash fiction piece. Sometimes reading a spark of good writing reminds your brain how fun words can be.

5. Accept the block, but don’t leave it there

Writer’s block is normal. It doesn’t mean you’re broken. It just means your brain’s buffering. Rest, hydrate, and be gentle with yourself. Then try again.

Writing is weird. Some days it flows like magic, and other days it’s like dragging your soul through the trenches. But if you’re stuck, don't give up on it— the words will come back.

what would you do if you’re a pizza delivery driver in gotham city and you deliver six pizzas and two big sodas to bruce wayne’s house (you had to get on a boat to get to his island) and he only tips you $1.50

I’d silently judge him but take the tip anyways because I know I’d probably be too scared to tell him that $1.50 isn’t enough for all of that 😭

(And I’d probably fight the urge to take the pizzas and soda with the tip and run too-)

This is probably a boring ass answer. My bad 💀

I was gonna make a post about the donation bots and everything, but when I blocked the account I’m talking about so they can unfollow me, I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED MY EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM 😡😡

(And, I’m pretty sure their blog got deleted)

But, when I first joined tumblr, this person sent me an ask, asking me to donate to their go fund me to pay for their breast cancer surgery. I never answered since I didn’t know what to; I can’t donate, and I didn’t know if it was a scam or not. Two weeks later, I looked through my inbox and saw their ask again, and it changed to a Gaza donation blog! The person in the pfp had a completely different appearance, and the original ask had NOTHING to do with Gaza!

I would love to help people out and answer the many asks I get from people who claim they’re in Gaza and need assistance, but I don’t know what accounts to trust (and I’m a minor, so I can’t donate anyways). Just be careful out there! ✨

Opinion on the hit game series the legend of zelda?

I think it’s pretty cool! I don’t know too much about any of the games tbh, but maybe I’ll play them or watch gameplay videos of them soon!

(Watching the gameplays online most likely what I’ll do because OML THEY ARE EXPENSIVE- 💀🙏🏾)

Just learned the DAgames is a creep… my internet childhood is crumbling before my eyes :(

(Also, thats a lie; I’ve been knowing, but I just said I just learned it to be dramatic and just remembered it happened a couple of minutes ago)
