This is a large part of why I try to be loud and encouraging to fellow writers and share as many fic posts as I can, doubly so for those who are just getting started and/or who also write for rarepairs/niche dynamics. I want everyone to find their circle of like-minded weirdos. I want us all to win.

As far as these things go, I am INCREDIBLY lucky. I have a small group of regular readers who leave very kind (and often funny or unhinged) comments, many of whom are also fellow writers whose work I also adore. I cherish you all so much, and the friendships we've forged through being Mutual Sickos.

Whenever I talk about the struggles that fanfic writers face in getting people to engage with their work, there is always a part of me that worries people will think I'm ungrateful or entitled. I write for a very niche corner of a HUGE fandom; any engagement at all is so deeply appreciated, truly.

A pet sleeping next to you feeling so safe and comfy is genuinely the most any human can really ask for

It makes you feel like maybe you aren’t so bad. You might even be good

if you guys haven't called congress officials yet, i highly recommend doing so through this website. input you phone number, zip code and they'll give you a prompt on what to say. i just did it and it takes like 10 minutes maximum, please take the time to protect the internet!!!!!
TOMORROW: Congress is pushing through a package of bills which include an online ID check mandate that would fence off the internet & kill anonymity online.

Contact committee members that are considering these bills + make your opposition crystal clear using our call tool at

I also just wanna say that if you're insecure about a fight... studying HELPS. I had never even seen the transition to last phase or last phase at all and cleared this fight on the second time there. I studied! And it super paid off!
Last night I had an AMAZING group and, despite taking a month off of this fight, ended up clearing TEA on the last pull of the evening!

Huge thank you to these wonderful people for helping me achieve my goal of triple legend before patch 7.4 🥺❤️

Shea usually calms down by talking or cooking or doing parkour in Ishgard.

K'rina, Faere, Kae, and Lume have introduced him to new methods such as martial arts and the like!
How do your WoL cool of their head when angry?

Do something nice for a creative person today. Leave a comment on a fic or a piece of art. Tell them their work impacted you.

It sucks out here, and a little genuine love goes a long way toward helping us feel like what we do is worth it.

Shea used to shut down. ARR and a good chunk of HW he was catatonic and would just be this shell. After meeting those important to him Shea reveals more emotion and becomes more controlled.

The sun comes back and warms the world.

Today's Card is the Creator of Vials: The wisdom of emotions.

Over the course of your WOL/OC's journey, how have they handled their emotions? Would you say they're in control of their emotions now or do their emotions still control them?

KOSA passed out of the subcommittee in the House on 13-10 vote. Meaning that they are FINALLY listening to some opposition. But not enough to prevent the other age verification bills from passing, let alone this.

They MUST listen to opposition. Losing this fight is NOT an option.

Getting caught? Nope, before Rion he was a goddamn virgin.

He has accidentally walked in on others though!

He is the adopted son of Aymeric de Borel. You talk shit about his dad and he'll fite you.

He's also a cousin of Zenos since Emet stuck his dick in the baby making process his parents had going on. He does not affiliate with the Garlean royal family whatsoever.
is your oc related to the scions/any other NPC in anyway?

For example, are you long lost cousins of Thancreds?
Always been curious! (does not include marrital, I'm talking blood related/adopted) #wolqotd

This has probably been asked so forgive me

Bugs.

Shea lived in the Burn for a few years so he cooked up bugs a lot of the time.

He doesn't mind it but he does get self conscious when others cringe and freak out.

The first meal he made for his siblings. How they lit up at the stew and laughed and made him feel like for once he took care of them.

The first time he saw magic used out of combat. The first show dancers appeared in. Nebula picking him as her rider.

A lot of firsts...

Shea only had one active relationship before Rion, that being Haruchefaunt. His death destroyed him but also opened so many doors.

It led to Rion, it led to his adoptive family, it led to his FC/found family. Does he miss him? Yes but that ending led to a new beginning!
If your wol is or has been in a relationship, how many relationships have they been in before their current/last partner?

Did that previous relationship bring some consequences to the current one? Or affect how your oc regards relationships? #wolqotd
