  #PennedPossibilities 1011 — Do you have a favorite song? What is it, and has it ever inspired anything you’ve written? I have way too many, and most of my stories have a playlist to go with them. Alana (my main OC) does have a kinda theme song though - "Trouble" by Valerie Broussard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6D-1xOEns0

  So, as an effort to unlearn shame, I'm working on being more jokey/flirty with select friends. But when I do, I go into an anxiety spiral and I realised last night what the reason for this is. It's internalised transphobia all the way down. The anti-trans conception of trans women, especially trans women who are attracted to women, is as some kind of predator - the myth of "men" trying to get into women's bathrooms etc. So, even light joke-flirting triggers my fear of bein...

  Going to give Ellipsus a try as a way of organising my writing notes - other writery people have recommended. And they're LGBT-run and anti-AI so that's a win. I kinda hope this helps me write more, because honestly half my trouble is trying to wrangle docs, notes scrawled on random bits of paper, and the AO3 submission form (which is a nightmare). #AmWriting #WritingCommunity https://ellipsus.com/generative-ai

  Really interesting article on Dark Goddesses over on the pagan patheos channel, and one that vibes with my experience and convos with other witchy folks: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/lightyourpath/2026/04/the-dark-goddesses-and-why-theyre-rising-now/?lctg=Pa9SB&rsid=veMS&grcid=Pa9SB&gran=patheosfi #witchcraft #fedicoven

  Happy May Day, Blessed Beltane and Solidarity on International Workers Day! I'm going to a strike rally with my Union today, making our voices heard for fair pay. Whatever you do today, celebrate the joy of Spring, and always fight for your rights!

  Climbed the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey, worth it for the view. Also saw it by sea on a boat trip, the same view Dracula would have seen on the Demeter. 🧛‍♂️🦇 Loving this trip with @robincrow !

  Just been to a thing with poetry and short story readings and...I have so many friends who have self doubt about their writing and then white men get on stage and do the most mediocre bland crap. Have the confidence of a mediocre white man. Trust me, your stuff is way better.

  #PennedPossibilities 985 — How long have you been writing or when did you start? I started writing little stories as a small River (a rivulet, or stream perhaps) but then got all clogged up with life detritus and stopped. A few years ago, I met @tiefling@bardicperspiration.club who started sharing her (amazing) writing with me, which encouraged me to write more again too, some attempts at poems and short stories for my Baldur's Gate character, Tempest. Then the Dragon Age hyperfixation...

  Memento The hermit wears the pilgrim's shell, And naked searches for a home. There is a broken mirror leaking light, There is a vessel lined with thorns. There is a cage to hold a savage heart, Whose contra-rhythm beats against the bars. A body built of stolen things - Of broken glass and razor wire. Opal eyes reflecting borrowed spite, A single spark to fight against the gods. There is a thread unspooling To defy the loom; You never knew me, I never knew. Here is a book written in our...

  All of this morning's scare has given me a new sense of urgency. I can't wait until the right time - there is no right time. There is now. Rise. Rebel. Resist. 🔥

  #ScribesAndMakers Mar 8 Is there a country other than your own that influences your creativity? Call me a weeaboo, but Japan. I watch a lot of anime and it informs how I picture scenes, especially fight scenes, in my own writing - and influences my story structure which tends to be quite episodic. Japanese culture influences my other creative outlet too, cookery. Just got two new Japanese recipe books and I can't wait to try some dishes out.

  "Respite on the Spitalfields" by Ghost plays softly in the background... What if Alana fully gave in to anger and embraced blood magic? (Made with the gothic heroine meiker at https://www.dolldivine.com/gothic-heroine) #AlanaDeRiva

  New Alana art! Another gift piece, this time from the brilliantly named "Blackwall-my-tiny-husband" on tumblr. This is part of a Rook Trading Card series and is the coolest thing I've ever seen. #AlanaDeRiva #AlanaFanArt #DragonAgeVeilguard

  #PennedPossibilities 950 — Can your MC swim? If not, why not? If so, how did they learn? Oh this one's fun. I write Veilguard fanfic and in the game, your character can't swim, so that means Alana canonically cannot, despite growing up in a city of canals by the coast. Alana: "Have you seen what's floating in those canals? Yeah, no. Drowning is preferable to whatever disease you'd get from trying to swim in that so-called water."

  A gentle reminder that just because someone doesn't post about news and politics, it doesn't mean they don't care or aren't doing anything. Sensible activists don't post about their activism on the Internet. A not so gentle reminder to use fucking content warnings on your news and political posts, you self-important fuckwits. K thnx.

  I've made a ton of progress recently on myself and my relationship to being trans, and one shitty remark from one shitty old white dude at work has left me shaken all fkn day. I hate how emotionally fragile I can still be underneath it all. Well, to the hells with that. I'm going out tonight, and I'm going to have fun. This is how I win. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
