I am a queer coparenting mama to Dickens Jr. Doodler by day, 911 dispatcher by night. All my favorite shows look better on Tumblr. I am two years and 450K words deep into constructing a fanfic called Ages and I'm never giving up on it. Bering & Wells.
Alana has written 123 articles for us.
Love it! And I need more info on that 500.000 word fanfic. I can use the escapism.
(And saying more white people are killed by cops is such an insane argument. Like, do these people actually think that that’s a good thing? “Oh no, it’s not just you that’s being killed, we are too.”)
The pen and paper is so rude 🤣🤣🤣
Just thinking about writing with pen and paper is making my knuckles hurt. 😬😂
“I think it’s time to take a break from existential dread.
Hand me your phone.”
Ahahaha! Dickens, I made you a new go-to Twitter emoji.
It will get so much mileage. 😂😂😂
I’d read that fanfiction.
People write fanfic directly on their phones?? This is how I know I’m old.
I started it out on my phone but not because of my age. It’s because I’ve raised two toddlers in the time it’s taken me to write the behemoth and it’s just more convenient. 😂 I mostly use my laptop or iPad now.
