Hi there! I'm MJ (though you can also call me august)! Finally making a post to compile all my fic-related goings on. I'm primarily a Steddie writer, with some gen friendship fics and other Stranger Things pairings thrown in there.
Though I don't have a general tag list, I am always happy to add folks to ones for specific fics. Just let me know!
I always enjoy being tagged in writing games, and my asks are open. Feel free to drop me a line!
Artworks, podfics, and translations are welcome, but please be sure to tag me (mostly because I would love to see them)!

chainshipping makes me so ill anyway i drew this from my headcanon of lawrence finding adam’s apartment after he was able to walk again and adam’s cat (the cat he was feeding in the og saw script) was waiting for adam to come back and then lawrence started talking to the kittyuyhh bc that’s the only living part of adam left. also i made the cat be blonde with a missing body part like lawrence. subtle foreshadowing
Okay, real talk now. People love to tag male characters in posts about women, but this post is gonna take this seriously. Is there actually a canonically male character you believe is a trans woman? Or at least has made into a trans woman for a fanart or a fanfic? Excluding the ones canonically implied.
Sound off in the tags! Link to the fanart or fic if available. Do it. Give me the girls. Make more women.
since there is such an "english speakers who don't even try to pronounce a foreign mame correctly" epidemic, native english speakers often try to overcorrect and end up thinking they have a moral imperative to pronounce every foreign name correctly at all times. so i'm gonna hold your hand and look into your eyss as i say this: you can't. you can't pronounce every sound in a language you don't speak. and that's fine. it happens to the rest of us too. we won't be mad so long as you try your best.
“I did some research to pronounce this name correctly” = 👍 great! even if the pronunciation was still off (and learning to pronounce a foreign language correctly takes a lot of practice) people generally appreciate it when someone goes the extra mile for accuracy, and honestly, languages are cool
“I’m probably not saying that correctly”/“sorry for my pronunciation” = 👍 understandable! foreign languages often have sounds that aren’t used in English and learning to correctly pronounce unfamiliar phonemes is genuinely difficult even with help
“lol I’m not even gonna TRY to pronounce that 😂” = 👎 THIS is the problem, if treats languages other than English like they are inherently ‘weird’ or ‘overly complicated’ just because you aren’t familiar with them
“One thousand apologies for my butchering of this beautiful effervescent tongue, I will now flagellate myself as punishment for my crimes” = 👎 chill

"I love seeing Black children happy. It bothers me so much when people are buzzkills about the joys of children, but it especially pisses me off when people are annoying about the happiness- and loudness- of Black children. It’s already hard as fuck enough out here, it’s not going to get any easier, and now the kids are supposed to be miserable too? Let the kids be happy!
At any point this world might decide that they should be murdered for the audacity to be alive and Black; I want them to cheer and clap and dance and sing and blast music as LOUD as they can because they are here too and they have every right to be! Take YOUR miserable ass on somewhere instead, and consider why happy Black children bother you so much. Maybe consider that YOU might be the threat! You want to fight somebody, pick on somebody your own size!"
A very pertinent quote from my lesson on Black Childhood
The scene in Shrek 2 when the Fairy Godmother sings I need a Hero when the giant gingerbread man attacks the castle is still the greatest scene in cinema of all times
Steve, the loudest man in the world apparently, stays over at Robin's house and then proceeds to wake the whole family up at five in the morning with a blow drier and "...I don't have a blow drier."
"I know," Steve shouts over the noise. "I brought it with me."
Unionically absolutely love being 40 and learning on tumblr that my 3-decades-long belief that Scooby-Doo is the most fucked up representation of a shittily-bred Great Dane with the most terrible breed confirmation is actually canon. I love this website.

No bc why is this the best Steve I’ve ever drawn 😭 huge fan of the little cat in the corner too. My bestie said it looks like Joe. Anyways I’m trying to bring more whimsy to my art ✨
P.S. don’t get used to four paintings in one day, I don’t know how this happened
Today I learned that the New York Public Library has what they call a “decoy” copy of James Joyce’s Ulysses. Before 1934, Ulysses was judged obscene and banned for sale in the United States. The “decoy” edition was published in 1930, and in an attempt to get around the censors, it was “bound in covers identifying it as the popular children’s book The Bobbsey Twins in the Country (1907).”
Not to be all "the children have forgotten the sacred texts!" but I just saw someone refer to a ship between two people who are good friends in canon as a crackship.
Hon. No. Crackship doesn't just mean "not canon". It's difficult to imagine two people who spend significant canon time together as a crackship. Crackship is when you write Galactus getting fucked by Tony the Tiger.

we bought a shirt at a thrift store that says "best mom in louisiana" for some reason (as a reminder we are in midwest germany) and now my spouse keeps walking around the house wearing it and saying shit like "WHO STANDS BEFORE THE GREATEST MOM OF LOUISIANA?"
