Nice to see a post from you!

The genre was sci-fi, but I’m thinking of swapping genres to fantasy.

Hmmm.

I like it when people give me opinionated answers, so that’s what I’ll do here. I don’t think you should change it to fantasy unless you really, really want to. You’ve only brought up two (maybe three?) reasons to change it, and they’…[Read more]

@rae

also, glad you are going back into this. I liked it a lot.

@rae

Why don’t you just mix them. Take what you like from fantasy and take what you like from Sci-fi and do a sci-fi fantasy. You could even set it in a sci-fi type world, yet have fantasy creatures, (like the Slyiads, which I personally like as the villians because they really do seem to fit the bill.) It does feel like it needs to be sci-fi,…[Read more]

@rae

Yes, some sci-fi stories don’t explore these ideas, but I don’t find those enjoyable at all personally to read.

Oof. I see how it is. (Just kidding lol)

In my mind, there isn’t really much of a difference between fantasy and sci-fi, but I get why you’re struggling to decide between them.

The one suggestion I can think of right now is to…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings @rae

lgbtq people gravitate towards art because I know many of them are mentally unstable, and suffer from depression and other things,

If my apparently transgender cousin (I’m going to refer to him as “he” cause he’s a guy in reality, just confused) is any indication, this is exactly what’s going on with him. He married a…[Read more]

@rae

Yeah.

I think many lgbtq people gravitate towards art because I know many of them are mentally unstable, and suffer from depression and other things, and as I think we all know, art is an outlit for that.

True

I’m currently experiencing a boom in my art. Just today I’ve done multiple sketches and linework, which is highly unusual for me, but…

@rae Glad things are going okay.

I think you’ve done pretty good. Like you said, you’re probably better off just doing what you’re currently doing rather than yapping all over the site.

@rae

Oh wait…I think I’ve heard you mentioned Nahim before. Oh yes…I can totally understand why it feels very special to you! No problem. Don’t feel pressured to reply back/be super active on JWM.

@rae

Great! See you over there! What is Guardian Angels about?

@rae I’ll be praying for a quick recovery for ya! Glad you had a good doctor.

(totally not thinking about Medic and how terrible it’d be if you got him lol)

@rae

that’s great that you got a nice doctor!

Will be praying.

@rae

Will be watching for updates <3

@rae

I’m glad you’re doing all right and were able to get a diagnosis! I’ll keep praying!

@rae

Yeah no I get you on that. It’s hard to pick battles and these days I tend to leave a lot of them, sometimes I wish I spoke up more. And I get you on the praying to saints thing. It feels off to me but honestly people will live the way they want to live and no use wasting energy on it.

In response to your other post, it is interesting how…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Just imagine the nicest nap, and when you wake up, everything looks sparkly. Kind of. XD

It wasn’t fun before I fell asleep because I get nervous shivers and sometimes vasovagal syncope. But the nurses are good at monitoring that.

@rae

I’m just back to the normal “I have no idea what the heck my brain is doing.”

Hey, your br…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @rae

The drugs are in me and I’m happy! It’s over and it went well. I gotta um not post that much though because it’s hard to type correctly. 😆

@rae that’s why I like it too.

LGBT will likely always be a thing in the art and fandom community, sadly. But tbh, for me, it’s much easier to ignore than any form of NSFW.

@rae Ah, ok. But hey, at least it was an actual person and not a bot.
