Some… skeleton who writes fanfic that people like for reasons beyond their understanding. Now, I find myself here, often in moments of reflection and peace. Ready to offer reassurance to those who need it. Also addicted to slushies. PFP by Luca Bicono

I’m glad the worst is over

Skorch @skorchtheskeleton.bsky.social · Sep 26

I wanna drive at like, two in the morning with some #lowfi music playing. Maybe #chillhop or something. Why is it that driving at night is always so… calming and cathartic? No matter how bad my day was. Driving alone at night makes me happy. #dowhatmakesyouhappy #nightdrive

This has been a good week. Hopefully this week will be as good!

Well, I now have all the #IronMaiden skins for #DeadbyDaylight killers. This was such a cool collab, Deathslinger is a fav of mine.

I can’t wait to get a few more chapters into my #skullgirls fic. The stuff I plan to do with Mad Dawg is some of my favourite.

The character drama, growth, humour, and one of the BEST. FIGHT SCENES. I have written! #fanfic #OC #writing #storywork

#JurassicWorldRebirth was great!

Some fat idiot tried to start a fight over seating before the movie started.

Several kids were screaming and crying at the death scenes (lol, get rekt parents. Why’d you bring a five year old to this?)

The D-Rex was creepy as heck.

8/10 would watch again.

Going to see #JurassicWorldRebirth ngl, I loved all the #JurassicPark movies (except Dominion. That one sucked. Yes. I liked III before it was cool, fight me.) here’s hoping this one is good!

I love this card in #Commander Laughing Jasper Flint or Ragavan crewing the car and doing drive-bys is so dumb I love everything about it. #magicthegathering #mtg #aetherdrift

#PrideMonth may be almost over. But I don’t care! #LGTBQArtists QUOTE AND SHARE YOUR ART!

FIND COOL NEW ART!

OR… SOMETHING I DUNNO.

I kinda wanna ask what people think about my writing. Not just about the plot or whatever. But about the character moments I write, I’m curious if my ideas and intentions made their way through. #writing

New addiction unlocked: #JurassicWorldEvolution

But here’s the problem. I actually care about my dinosaurs. And park ratings. And I’m learning how the game works. And I’m caring for my fossil friends.

Alt: A t-Rex. It’s super cool. If you haven’t seen Jurassic Park, go watch it. Dinosaurs are cool. This gif doesn’t really apply to my post above, but it looks cool.

How’d you get this picture of me?! (Jk)

I don’t want people to LOVE the choices and things Dawg does either in this one. He’s rough around the edges. Impulsive, and crass. And if you don’t like how he treats people… good! He’s gotta learn. But, he’s gotta make mistakes, as well.

Skorch @skorchtheskeleton.bsky.social · Jun 16

I think Mutant of New Meridian is going to be my favourite story I ever write. I dunno why. Dawg’s planned interactions with the #Skullgirls cast are great. And the stuff I hope to be able to pull off is just… yes. Plus, a LOOOOT of character growth for Mad Dawg. Hopefully. #writer #fanfiction

Life is going great these days, I’m surprised. It’s nice waking up happy, and knowing that I have things to look forward to #allsgood #goodlife #goodvibes

We’re all human. No matter what anyone tells you (and I’m a skeleton, but that’s besides the point) and this month, let
Your voices be heard. And if they can’t, I’ll cheer for you.

Stay safe, and stay you.

I’ll be here to support you, to do my best to be a rock in these shifting sands. To be a light in the darkness. I may not really ‘get’ #Pride, but I don’t care. I’m celebrating for those who can’t. For those who don’t know how.

Not because of love. But because it’s the right thing to do. /8

For those who have no one to celebrate with.

For those who live in fear of what the world wants to do to them because of who they are.

I will celebrate. For you. Because you deserve to be as happy as I am. No one should live in fear.

I may not get what you’ve been through. But sure it. /7

Fear for my life because of who I am. Because I don’t love anyone in a romantic sense that isn’t platonic or familial.

I will never be threatened or targeted for being who I am.

And that is why I celebrate #PrideMonth not for me.

But for you.

For those who are still hiding. /6

As such, I had to wonder. Should I even be part of #Pride? What do I add? What do I bring?

I decided that Pride should be about those who are still here. Or those we lost. Those who fought for their rights to be who they are. Who still fight for those rights.

I have never, and will never- /5

Aroace?

Nothing.

And I doubt I ever will.

I could live my whole life, and no one would ever think twice about it, unless I brought it up.

I never had to march to be seen, I never had to fight to be allowed to LIVE, I just… existed. And no one could or ever did tell me I was wrong. /5

Mocked, disavowed by people close to me, I’ve never been persecuted, I’ve never been told ‘You’re an abomination’ (aside from my friends who do so as a joke. Trust me, we say bad things to each other daily) but I never took part in Pride events because what have I ever had to fight cause I was- /4

“Be Yourself”, “Love yourself.”

…I do. Every day. By existing. I never really felt the need to join in any sort of ‘celebration’. And in time, I began to question why. But then, it made sense to me.

What was I celebrating?

I’ve NEVER faced hardships for being AroAce, I’ve never been /3

So, I figured ‘Yeah, I don’t feel romantic or sexual attraction to anything. Cool.’ And for a bit, whenever pride month came, the joke was me going: ‘Happy Pride! …okay… bye… can I go back to writing now?’ Because Pride Month never really seemed like something I needed to celebrate. /2

Okay folks, strap in. This might be a long one. But, I’m ready to address something about #PrideMonth I didn’t understand until now.

For about five or six years I’ve accepted happily I was Aroace, I tried dating, and I tried lots of things, but nothing worked. I’d rather have friends than anything
