they/them. writer of all kinds of things. i'm mostly using this account for fanfic but boundaries sometimes blur
on monday it’s back to business as usual but in the meantime i have theories my god i have observations

i forgot about the frantic pace of an active fandom!

🚅 PluB writing: a flurry of reads within 24 hours then buried under new fic avalanche
🐢 KE writing: hi, hi, is anyone out there, is this thing on?

not complaining, just observing

mixed feelings about that finale but having the most diabolical ideas about things that could happen in s2. hmm have i been here before?

i think plurbus is one of those rare shows where a lesbian character drives the narrative and is allowed to be sexual and conflicted and desiring, but her central sexual/romantic relationships are not the story’s overarching purpose or point

I have spent much of the past year being Serious about tv so it’s really nice to end it screaming internally about hive minds and romantasy and whether or not the opening scenes predicted it all. also I don’t want carol but I do want her whiteboard

splitting my pluribus commentary across accounts to dilute the reality of my obsession 🧠
December 21, 2025 at 1:22 AM
such a fantastic and cheeky line!
I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap
December 21, 2025 at 1:20 AM
I love this so much 🎬💕
December 20, 2025 at 5:21 PM
grief, identity, psychosis, philosophy, colonialism, the writer’s conceit, “unlikeable” lesbians. ugh if i ever write about tv again…

I understand addiction and nostalgia very well - but it still blows my mind that any progressive would stay or consider returning 💔
These people want leftist and liberals to come back to Twitter so badly. They give all kinds of reasons, but the fact is without them the Nazi bar marinates in its own juices and they can't stand it.

trying to my irl friends to discuss it on here and they just look at me like dude why would I ever do such a thing 😭
there is so much to discuss about the new Pluribus episode (which i absolutely loved) yet i’m somehow very glad to be completely removed from whatever online fandom discussions must be taking place

today i got brutal dental work done and i’m in a post-surgery haze. what better time to indulge in the habit i’m trying to quit?

currently in a “social media makes everything worse” mood so I’m taking a little break

my pluribus theory didn’t hold and i’m losing interest 😔
December 6, 2025 at 10:42 PM
getting back in my “will you publish my short story" submission groove. even now it gives me a tummy ache

I listened to the Killing Eve soundtrack over and over again. I don’t need the app to know that
December 3, 2025 at 11:17 PM
oops! see my user name. totally agree that fucking indulge your darlings is the better way to go ✨
This is a piece of classic writing advice that I have begun to seriously turn on

Don’t kill your darlings. Love and nurture your darlings. Write for your darlings. Recognize when one of them may not be right for the story and gently remove them, but for the most part: fucking INDULGE your darlings
You don't have to kill ALL your darlings, okay?

i think i just leveled up 💪
working on a (very) short story and once I figure out how to sync surreal vibe with meaningful arc, I shall be happy

time to deepen my understanding
