Fact of the day: The word tsunami (from tsu "harbor" and nami "waves") was coined in 1896 following that year's 8.5 magnitude earthquake and its resulting record 125 foot tall waves in Sanriku, Japan
Yeah no dude I'm not going to let you have an $88 vintage jacket for $45 and also I hope that you trip on a curb, fall face-first onto the concrete, and ***
Listing for a black t-shirt that looks reasonably cool but certainly is not worth the $660 they're charging
Got an extremely lowball offer on a very reasonably priced jacket in my shop and said no. Guy came back trying to negotiate. His account name sounded familiar so I looked it up and he owns or represents a luxury fashion line where the cheapest ready to wear item is a $660 t-shirt
ao3 comment on my old fic Reacharound that reads: this is one of the best ryden fics i’ve ever read and it’s from almost 20 years ago. you basically invented all the modern wentzross/ryden tropes how incredible 😭😭 so so good so much love
Woke up this morning unenthused about life and thought 'if I check my phone and I have an AO3 comment in my inbox I'll get up and work on this original gay romcom idea' then was like 'ugh I won't have shit' but then I had THIS??! Letting it inflate my ego to an insane degree thanks time to write!!!
Letting comparison thieve my joy 😔
I love shoegaze. What's that you're saying queen? Oh you're so right the lyrics are none of my business. GUITAR FUZZ

Real and out here pretending I'm watching the sunset at the Place des Vosges instead of at the local mall
Awsten Knight sings in a way that captures the often frantic and ever changing cadence of my thoughts as they race and pause and run into walls, get up and shake it off and then keep running and trip and stumble and hearing that externalized makes me feel less alone www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7X3...
Every day of my life I listen to Waterparks and I'm like god I love Waterparks SO MUCH and here's why: in 2006 I heard Panic! At The Disco's Time to Dance for the first time and I was like wow this song sounds like the inside of my head. And then nothing made me feel that way again until Waterparks

Same calico cat same position but now she's fallen asleep?? No one wants to work anymore
My lazy writing assistant who does not even know shorthand
There's nothing like putting a fitted sheet on a king size bed all alone to make you feel like you are truly God's least favorite
It definitely started my day off with a smile 😆
Ao3 comment reading "so good so tender. you also write sex like you've had it and that's the highest compliment i can give"
Oh the comments you get when writing in a fandom with a lot of younger writers 🥲
Man what's it like to have a normal brain that gives you the right amount of chemicals to process disappointments and negative emotions without feeling like I'm a gumball in a machine spiraling helplessly down until I crash straight into Hell. What if I didn't get a stress headache from existence
Hey did you know that Waterparks is the only band ever⁉️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdYe...
On the one hand it's whatever. But on the other hand my central nervous system is reacting like I'm being attacked by a bear and I feel like I'm going to burst into tears. So idk
Tweet reading "this 97 year old fanfic writers still serves yaoi the old fashioned way" followed by a tweet from the OP complaining "except they write bottom Mike" and then another tweet saying "their ao3 account being older than you" so yeah so you know like yeah or whatever
You know what. You know what. Do you know fucking what
Tweet from someone in Stranger Things fandom that says "There's a Ryden author from 2009 writing Byler in 2026" along with a video captioned "this 97 year old diner still makes Coke the old fashioned way". I am the writer they are talking about
Hey guys guess what's going on in my new fandom now! This post about MEEEEEE
Just got tickets for this, hello, The Like reunion?! Theeeee Sarah McLachlan????? Oh my whole entire god!!!! Flipping out we have three literal decades of my musical loves in this aaaaaah
Truly it's the "passage" of "time" that is wrong 🙂↕️
No...I don't think that's necessary 🙂↔️👎
Been a minute since I looked at the ol' stats and oh my literal fucking god. Half a million words??! Damn I guess
(This is a thread about Bill Hader. Years I spent quietly being like "this y'all's babygirl? you fucking with me?" then last night I watched It Chapter 2 for the first time and within approx one minute I was like ohhhhh ok. My bad. Would. My babygirl as well it turns out. See, I don't know shit!!!)
Because what the fuck do I know, right? Who am I to insult someone else's taste in a harmless fave? Plus what if I do end up engaging with the thing and then suddenly I completely understand where people are coming from? I don't want an opinion online that I won't defend in court!
It's really important to me as a person that I never get too strident online about subjective things in fannish spaces. Like, just because I don't "get" something on the surface doesn't mean I need to go talking shit about something other people like, especially if I'm uninformed about it.
Been writing extremely non-chronologically lately and it's interesting because sometimes I look at a couple of scenes and realize that I actually don't need a full new patch to connect them to each other, just maybe a slightly thicker bit of thread. Just here in the document quilting
Bottle of Volada hibiscus vodka next to a jar of my homemade hibiscus vodka on a shelf
Been making my own flavored vodkas lately and I'm about to make these two battle for dominance like tongues in a fanfic kiss
a truly generational fandom experience speedrun on my part I can only laugh!!
so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past 😔✊
I HOPE so!!! I doubt I'll shift the tide bc her unnecessarily strident opinion is already that of the loud majority BUT I've also gotten some of the nicest comments ever in my life from people on this fic incl specifically on characterization so there's clearly a gap in the market here
