“A-Niang, I’ve met someone. He’s-different. Loud. Warm. Brilliant. Like the sun.
I think you would like him.
I miss you, Mama.”

Inspired by twitter user @/wangxian_trash ( @syntheticpoetry on here, I believe), who headcanoned that LWJ still talks to his mother. Tells her about his day, thoughts, struggles. Tells him about Wei Wuxian. Talks to her for comfort - or just to cry - during the sixteen years he’s alone. Tells her about Sizhui.

I also think that he’d start out his conversations addressing her with “A-Niang” but then would slip into the more informal and intimate “Mama” down the line.

I just did some crafting. Involving one of my drawings.
And word vomited about it to a mutual. XD

Seems I really can’t keep my mouth shut when I’m excited. Gotta say I am a bit proud of this.

Okay, I just wrote a thing - about 1900 words of Wangxian fluff, more on the CQL side of characterisation because that’s what I’m most familiar with - would anyone be willing to beta for me?

I would love to post it as quickly as possible before my self-conscious brain decides to just delete it, but I’m too much of a chicken to post it unbeta-d, so….yeah.

Wait.

Hold up.

Did I just accidentally do a mini-threadfic over on tumblr? ME? The non-writer extraordinaire???

Strange things are happening in this house today.

I’ll probably spend the day catching up on fanfics. I miss curling up on my bed with a blanket and a cuppa and some soft music, immersing myself in a nice story, while sunshine filters through my curtains.

If you’re a fan of Sci-fi and Fantasy, you’ve heard of High and Low Fantasy, Hard and Soft Sci-fi, and Hard and Soft Magic Systems.

But…

Have you heard of Hard and Soft Worldbuilding? Until recently, I hadn’t heard of it either. But since I learned about this concept, the way I look at writing Science Fiction and Fantasy fiction has both changed and deepened.

If you’d like to add another tool to your literary tool belt, read on. I’ll share everything I’ve learned on this fascinating subject!

I’ve been practicing playing my Kalimba for the past 45 minutes or so. As an absolute beginner with no musical knowledge to call my own, I obviously make a lot of mistakes…

But it’s so refreshing to be able to play and make mistakes without being yelled at to stop.

[sweetlittlevampire]

And because I’m extra like that, while still practicing scales and ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ and 'You Are My Sunshine’, OF COURSE I jump right to trying to play difficult pieces.

By ear.

And get frustrated when they sound horrible.

*sighs* So much for being patient.

And once again - never ask me, or steer the conversation towards the topic of my girlfriend.

Because I will. Not. Shut. Up. About her.

I physically can’t. She’s just -

She’s everything.
