Blake (Bee), twenty-three / black (mixed) /lesbian (she/her)

I'm a women’s basketball enthusiast (Mystics + Uconn)

i need to be honest tho, tumblr has been feeling kind of overwhelming lately (the dashboards, the constant takes, the anonymity) so i’m turning off anonymous asks and i won’t really be checking the dash anymore

this is gonna be more of a quiet, personal space for me now. just my little corner to post art, fics, edits

came here just to celebrate the fact that babygirl is officially a pro now

i’m so incredibly happy for her AND proud, endlessly, stupidly proud

I genuinely hope you brushed your teeth before bed, because this is so sweet and so fluffy it might give you a cavity

I think (honestly) things feel really heavy in the world right now. My girlfriend can’t drive because she’s an immigrant and can’t even risk a parking ticket. I’m scared of what the future looks like, for her, and for my country.

So I did the only thing that felt within my control: I wrote the sweetest, lowest-stakes fluff I possibly could.

Paige Bueckers is so in love (and so is Azzi): https://archiveofourown.org/works/78608336

I’ve been a little offline for a while, both from Tumblr and from basketball. I’m not really keeping up with games or discourse right now (probably won’t until the draft), so my fics aren’t responding to current events or recent performances.

My stories are inspired by real-life people, but the characters live in their own AU. Their personalities, arcs, and choices are based on what makes sense inside that universe, not on who Paige or Azzi are in real life. That’s all laid out in my masterlist, and people who’ve been around longer usually know this (but I realize some of you are new, so I just wanted to say it clearly)

I’m also posting something new today (or very soon lmao), since I’m actively writing again, but I wanted to share this too.

Thank you, truly, for sticking around, for your patience, and for reading (!!!!!) I hope this one lands with you the way it eventually landed with me

I just wanted to pop in, post this, and let you all know that I wrote something. I won’t really be responding through Tumblr (I’m mostly here to drop it and run) but I’ll try to answer comments on AO3 (assuming I remember how the site works, which is never guaranteed)

I hope you like it. It’s very, veeeery fluffy (my usual style), with a single bit of smut slipped in purely because Valentine’s Day is approaching and I couldn’t help myself.

I missed you all 💌

It's so easy (to fall in love with her) : Five times Azzi Fudd realized she was in love with Paige Bueckers, and one time she realized she was being loved

Hi! It’s Azzinator on AO3

I don’t know if everyone has my ao3 already (i think i’ve shared it here before?), but if something new goes up, that’s where it’ll be.

Also, to everyone who wished me a happy new year: Thank you so, so much. i’m really sorry i didn’t reply, I promise i wasn’t trying to be rude

Hi guys 🤍

I’m good, I’m kind of just enjoying my free time right now, traveling with my girlfriend, doing things, being offline on purpose. So i’m not really on tumblr and i’m not keeping up with basketball or anything like that.

When i get back to college (probably later this month) i’ll come back here. But for now i’m taking a little break, and honestly it might be a longer one. From what my mutuals have told me, things have been kind of stressful around here, so maybe it’s better if we see each other after the draft.

That said: i am going to update the fics on ao3. I've seen a lot of you asking about it, and i don’t want to leave you hanging. (IT'S THERE)

I missed sharing stories with you, and I missed talking to you all.

Moving forward, I’m not going to be talking about basketball, because that space just isn’t healthy for me anymore. I’ll be sticking much more to my fic and writing tags (that’s the part I actually love and that makes me happy)
