New blog intro!

howdy! you can call me Sleepy or Rose (that’s not my real name) and welcome to the place I call my 'little blog'. I'm in a constant pursuit of finding other writers and/or cool people.

this is my reading and writing focused blog! I will *hopefully* only really be posting those things on here but who knows

I have two active alt accounts if you think I’m cool and want something not on here or whatever, I don't know. @eye-motive for all things fiction podcast/audio drama related (basically only the magnus archives and malevolent) and @sleepyrxserambles which is all things not writing, reading or podcasts (mostly reblogs, Link Click and some other fandom stuff)

DNI: all the standard things on people’s DNI’s please. basically, your fine as long as your not an asshole, online or in person

quick facts about me that can explain some of my writing and posts:

-I’m aroace and nonbinary (I use xe/xem and they/them pronouns)

-I like fantasy books. specifically paranormal romance books. however, I mostly write dystopian.

-My favorite author is TJ Klune. i have read almost all of his books and my goal for 2025 is to read the rest of them (I post about his books a lot-)

-I struggle with writers block CONSTANTLY. I complain about it a lot

-I WILL DO TAG GAMES!!!! PLEASE TAG ME IN THEM!!!! They may sit in my drafts for a few weeks…or months…but I promise i'll do them eventually!!!! I see them I promise!!!

-Two authors that greatly influence my writing are Brandon Sanderson and TJ Klune, just in like how I phrase things. I think it’s interesting to take elements of things I’ve read and blend it with my own style of writing

-i've also gotten into script writing! kinda! well...I just started to but i'm excited to explore that world more in the upcoming year.

under the break is some information on some WIPs I will talk about sometimes! (as of January 17th, 2025 it is just my goals for the up coming year, but actual writing stuff will come soon)

without my frank sinatra records I think I would have exploded by now

today has not been going how I wanted it to go in the slightest

those records, frosted animal crackers and a fucking logic puzzle are actively the only things keeping me from screaming into my pillow

Sometimes I’m embarrassed that my favorite movie is Luca. You know the one with the fish people and is 100% made for young kids

and then I rewatch it and I’m no longer embarrassed because it is a amazing movie about accepting those who are different from you

the only thing that does embarrass me that I’ve watched it so many times that I have large amounts memorized and can put names to a lot of the background music in the movie

also that one time I went to Disneyland and asked if they had anything from the movie and the staff said ‘a lot of kids have asked about that’ and then I cried because they had like nothing from the movie I liked except a pin. I think that was actually the most embarrassing thing because I am not in fact a kid.

-quote me 2 years ago????

how I wrote something like that, I’m still not sure

but I felt like I should share it

i genuinely think boats are such good places to set a story because it automatically gives you a set of really interesting circumstances -- boats are transitory, you are not meant to stay on them forever, there is an automatic assumption of ending up somewhere different from where you started...characters are forced into close proximity, stakes are higher, etc. boats also just look cool, so that's always a plus

#Will now be thinking about what to do with boats #my interest has been peaked and no one can stop this from happening #no one #but one person #but it’ll be fine #(it’s me)#(I’m that one person)

Author rant incoming, but I don't know what pisses me off more: lazy assholes who act like they're 'the real deal' because they have an AI make a book or story for them.

Or actual authors who have no class solidarity & use AI slop for their covers.

I can't be the only one who gets pissed at that. There is just so much here to say about how little solidarity there is between different types of creatives, how easily one group will get rid of another because they can save up on money or they already get most of the money. The recent strikes for actors and animators are proof enough that some people got theirs so they don't care about other creatives.

But as a writer who's dirt poor & STILL would never consider using AI for a book cover, I can't help but be bloody disappointed in these people.

It's like that adage of 'if you couldn't be bothered to make it, why should I be bothered to consume it?' Except it's 'if you couldn't be bothered to support a fellow creative, why should I support you?'

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

Anonymous asked:

Hi!! Do you still like tea? I recommend milky oolong and green tea with cornflower & dried grapes. The latter may sound questionable, but it's really good! I know you don't really like green tea, but this one tastes different from the rest. I also recommend masala chai, but it's a popular drink, I am 100% sure that you've already tried it!! :D

I have been trying tea and writing down how they taste and how much I like them for a year and a half now. I am definitely not an expert yet. I try around 3 or 4 new teas a week, on average :> Tea is amazing, but be careful with how much you drink!! I used to drink between 6 and 8 litres a day, until I started reacting badly to the caffeine. Have fun and experiment!!!

omg, yes!

I still like tea!

I found a really good herbal loose leaf tea that tastes like a fist full of flowers I’ve been drinking a pretty dang often. It’s so good

and I’m also going to look into the teas you recommended because they actually both sound so good, lol

I’m still going to find more teas I like, especially I’m going to try more herbal and oolong teas

thank you so much for the ask :D

#Nonbinary here and wtf is that #i makes me think of a seagull and I wish not to think about those birds at any time of the day #gull is just ew #Sorry for the strong reaction #I just don’t think it’s a really pleasant sounding thing to be called

until it was mentioned to me

I didn’t realize the full potential of one of my characters slipping in and out of dimensions

like, what do you mean every time he goes to the other dimension his heart stops beating and he dies in real time and once he’s back everything starts working normally again except some chest pain?

what do you mean he is the son of a death god and it actually makes such perfect sense for his character?

I love my little guy so much <3

he can literally die every Tuesday at 8:36 pm and be perfectly fine and have barely any physical consequences

so I get to do it as many times as story relevant with out there being any complications, right?

…like you know if he’s gone for too long or it starts happening so often that it starts hurting him more until he’s at the point of going back one of two more times will permanently kill him however he has no control over when and how often he goes to the pocket dimension…

no complications at all!

I love him so much <3

I think The Way Of Kings is going to consume my life for like the next week until I end up finishing the book in 3 days and then I’ll be stuck thinking about it until I can get the next book

I fear this blog may about to be turned into a stormlight archive blog for a hot minute

I’m sorry to everyone in advance

Platonic love is not a runner up to romantic love. Platonic love isn’t second place. Platonic love isn’t less real, less valid or less powerful than romantic love. Don’t let your platonic love take a back seat to romantic love.
