“She” also appears to have made an account on here and just followed me. Can’t wait for the DM.

“…there’s no danger to conjuring up happiness, joy, or even sadness, grief, loss - you can write through grins and tears, but you probably shouldn't write through a psychotic episode unless you're going to trash the writing after…”
