Proudly feral, almost certainly trash and the bag costs 50 cents. You can find me yelling about minor turian characters from Mass Effect at any given moment - they/them - Castelau on AO3 - 18+ only

what you learn from hobbies:

  • consistent practice opens up whole worlds of skill that you couldn't imagine
  • making mistakes in the process of learning is not only natural, it is also essential
  • activities that you enjoy can give you more energy back than you spent on them
  • wow everything is so expensive
  • my hands hurt
  • Huh hobby tools sure take up a lot of space

"Let's take a word from our sponsor."

*Skip ahead a minute* "You can-"

*Skip ahead a minute* "Use code-"

*Skip ahead a minute* "300,000-"

*Skip ahead a minute* "300,000-"

*Skip ahead a minute* "T-shirts-"

*Skip ahead a minute* "Motherfuck-"

*Go back 15 seconds*

Oh we're all feeling this one aren't we?

When youve been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.

Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.

Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.

I could never own a parrot. They are splendid and delightful joyful creatures but I could not match their fucking whimsy. If I woke up at 4:45 am on a tuesday to the sound of some gleeful feather-cloaked varmint doing aerial somersaults all over the house while singing the world's most high-pitched whistle nightcore one-man a capella cover of Funkytown, I'd eat it.
