đ hi there :) my name is izzy, it's nice to meet you. i was bullied (affectionately) into getting tumblr by a friend a few months ago, but it turned out to be a nice thing :>
she/her, pan, minor (creeps DNI)
i am a teenage author, and this blog is primarily dedicated to posts about writing (generally humour), which can include memes, advice, tips and tricks, the occasional snippet (very rare), and jokes. there is also a lot of random junk you might have to sort through (sorry), things i personally find funny (this is my blog you can't stop me), ranting about my current obsessions (at the time of writing this intro post: vsmpvsmpvsmp), and a whole lot of crap-posting.
this blog is inclusive to/accepts:
gays đłď¸âđ
straightsđ (why did i use that emoji? you'll never know)
literally every other sexuality under the sun
the lgbt+ community and the queers in general
those who have transed their genderđłď¸ââ§ď¸
people who looked at the gender binary and said "hell no"
human beings in general who are perceived as "not normal" or "different" or don't fit into society's unrealistic and unobtainable standards that only truly apply to a small, usually straight, usually white, usually upper-middle class percentage of the population and leave everybody else struggling to even survive
gays (again)
umm idk everyone who isn't a raging freaking asshole?
basically if you're a human person and you're nice to other human persons, you can chill here with me
(need to add a cut because this is getting too long. i have a rambling problem)
i like reading, writing, drawing (badly), reading, doing gymnastics, writing, playing soccer, reading, inhaling any and every food item in my area that contains any semblance of sugar, writing, watching tv, reading, drawing again, writing, school (shocking), reading, beating my younger brother at mario kart, writing, being a cool nerd in general (yes i called myself cool and a nerd in the same sentence, you can't stop me, i openly admit to being a nerd and if you think i'm not cool i have over 150 followers who say otherwise so heh), reading, obsessing over books (specifically harry potter but also screw jkr), writing, reading, and writing.
(can you tell i like reading and writing) đđđď¸
yes i can capitalise and use correct punctuation. no i will not choose to do so
fandoms: life series, stardew valley, gravity falls, harry potter (again screw jkr), vampires smp, why the hell can't i think of any more
how do you make an intro post again
transphobes and homophobes and racists and ableists (i can spell) and all the "phobes" and all the "ists" can screw off. and also ai. if you're a bot or you support genai which steals from real artists and creators, you can leave now. go on, i'll wait
i write on ao3 but that is neither here nor there (i don't feel like giving my acc right now, if you're dedicated enough you could probably find it tho)
rapid-fire about me because i cannot be bothered to form sentences right now: australian đŚđş, pansexual (duh), teenager (will not give exact age because internet safety and everything), definitely not addicted to writing yaoi and yuri, over 350k+ words written on my past few long books, subscribed to dropout.tv, absolute nerd, hoping to actually get published one day (if i finish my damn stories), been on tumblr for months but still suck at it, good at school (from my grammar in posts, that's surprising), If You Call Me Short I Will Stab You, (in my opinion) pretty good at writing, if my friends actually screaming/crying over it is any indication, and um. uh. idk i've held a plank for seven minutes straight
this is probably way too long i should add a cut (this is probably a horrible intro post anyway not like anyone will read this)
yeah. that's basically me :) if you actually took the time and bothered to read through all of this, then i applaud you. here, uh, take this sweet as a reward:
đŹ
i hope you have a day that is as amazing as you are. hope to see you around :)

WHERE in Europe??!? WHERE??? You mean Iceland?? Azerbaijan? The Netherlands? Liechtenstein???? THERE ARE 50 COUNTRIES IN EUROPE. ALL WITH DIFFERENT CULTURES. SO PRAY TELL ME, WHERE IN FUCKING EUROPE.
honestly sometimes there's no better feeling than rereading a fic you've written and coming out of it going, "yeah that actually this DOES slap. exactly what i wanted to read. fucking nailed it."
I kept forgetting my nighttime antidepressant so I set an alarm where the sound was a recording of me saying "HEY. TAKE YOUR FUCKING PILL" because I thought it would be funny. It was funny about three times, and then it started making me mad and I'd dismiss it right away to make it stop. So I handed my phone to my partner, who made another recording sweetly saying "Okay Shira, it's time to take your medication" and now I don't get mad anymore and I take my pill. The "compassion over punishment" camp has gotta get something wrong one of these days

me as a teenager: man it sucks to have no privacy or autonomy but i guess its for a good reason. when i turn 18 i will realise how young i was and understand why they did all that.
me as an adult: teenagers are an oppressed class, their abuse is normalised and systemic and they need to start killing people
One of the guys I worked with told us a story about how, when they were doing archaeology surveys in the woods they ran into a bigfoot hunter. Bigfoot guy asked if they had seen signs of bigfoot, and he was like "Sorry, nothing like that. We're archaeologists, so we're looking for human stuff." and the bigfoot guy was like "Oh! I saw some Native American cairns on my way out here. I can give you a general location." and when he was like "Yeah dude, that'd be sick. We're actually looking to document those." the bigfoot guy was like "Yeah, they looked pretty cool. I didn't touch them though, because Native Americans built them, not bigfoot."

"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs
if I see one more "why age verification is bad" post that doesn't even bother to mention that locking young people out of huge sections of the public sphere - literally the stated goal and primary impact of this shit - is wrong in and of itself I will simply start hitting people with bricks
idk where all of this weed-smoke discourse erupted from, but âweed is fine and you shouldnât be a snitch about itâ and âdonât burn plant matter in public spaces where someone you donât know might have, like, a lung conditionâ are two sentiments that can and do coexist. i have asthma and i hang out with stoners pretty much constantly. iâve never felt the urge to snitch and no one has ever blatantly disrespected my avoidance of smoke. theyâre always eager to help keep it away from me when needed, which isnât difficult to do. i hate to say this, but my only takeaway from a hypothetical scenario in which a stoner is blasting weed smoke in public like a dragon and an asthmatic feels the need to involve the cops is that both individuals are unpleasant and i donât want to be around either of them lmao

your gay friend that you try to ignore: and then they sent him to space AGAINST HIS WILL and he was screaming crying and throwing up because HE WANTS TO LIVE!!! but it's all good because he met a rock alien and fell in love with him
Good news, he was not next! In fact, she accepted him as her mate, he learned the crane mating dance and now every year, he artificially inseminates her with crane semen to expand the very endangered crane population. True story.
Sorry, he WHAT? Imagine being this man's boss and having to sit him down like. Listen. Brian. We need you to fuck the bird. You have to act like you're excited about it.
(WalWaPo makes you jump through like three separate hoops before you can read the article, so I will share some of the highlights:
Walnut was born in a species-recovery breeding program in the 1980â˛s. The program had crane chicks hand-raised by human volunteers, and at that time they did not fully understand the measures necessary make sure that the chicks do not imprint on humans and retain their identity as cranes. Â
As a result, her keepers believe, Walnut does not recognize other cranes as members of her own species. Â
It has not been proven that Walnut killed her previous suitors; however, there is a persistent rumor in the white-naped-crane-conservation community that she did. Â
Because this species is highly endangered, and the gene pool of the captive population is small, itâs pretty important for the survival of her species that Walnut A) mate, and B) not kill a bunch of other cranes. Â
The actual name of the keeper is Chris Crowe.
They both arrived at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in 2004. Â
Walnut immediately began paying special attention to Chris--and ignoring the eligible male crane in a nearby enclosure. Â
Walnut initiated their courtship, performing the opening moves of a mating dance. Â
Chris realized that if he reciprocated the mating dance, it might be possible to artificially inseminate Walnut with her participation and consent. (The process normally involves restraining the bird.) Â
It worked! Â
Chris and Walnut have had five children, who were raised by other crane couples at the facility--sometimes the biological dad and his mate--both because itâs unclear whether Walnut would accept the chicks as her own, and because Chris is not equipped to be a Crane Dad. Â
However, the Institute provides her with artificial eggs to sit on, and Chris takes his turn looking after them. (This would not work with real eggs because he canât sit on them properly, but Walnut seems to feel that he is on the job if he just stands over them.)
Chris accepts that he is pretty much married to this bird. White-naped cranes live to be about 60, and they mate for life, so he knows he canât retire while Walnut is alive. (At the time of the article, Walnut was 36, and Chris 42.) Â
she has not been PROVEN to have killed her exes, but there is a PERSISTENT RUMOR (really officers she's simply DEVASTATED, she sobs, wearing a new feather boa unfortunately resembling her most recent deceased husband)
His name is Chris CROWE. (Mrs. Walnut Crane-Crowe?)
the mental images of a whole human man learning and performing the crane mating dance, and "sitting" on artificial eggs so she thinks he's performing his duties as a husband and father (and apparently OBJECTS if he does not?)
"chris, buddy, you gotta marry the possibly-murderous crane lady for the GOOD OF THE SPECIES." (alternately: "chris, my man! good news! we found you a very interested lady! She's 36, she's very spirited and independent, she holds a very important and rare status in her society! ...Is there a downside? WELL...")
chris sits any potential human partners down, like "my love, you must understand before we wed,,, i am already... Attached" (camera drifts wistfully to the above photo) "Lady Walnut and I have an,, Understanding... the relationship is open, but very committed"
Not only is he 'married' to walnut, this has apparently happened SEVERAL times, so he has MULTIPLE crane wives, none of which know about any of his other crane wives. This man is, for some unknown reason, irresistible to cranes
the âthis content has been removed for violating Tumblrâs Community Guidelinesâ notice really adds a lot of flavor to this post and somehow makes it MORE obscene than whatever that actually was
I regret being the bearer of bad news, but I thought it should be shared that Walnut passed away in January of this year (2024). There's a lot of mixed info about the lifespan of cranes (due to people misunderstanding what a median is...) but the average for most species I know of is 20-30 years (in the wild if nothing eats them/they don't die young), and 30-45 in captivity, with the oldest known white-naped crane having loved to be 46. Given that she was 42, this old gal did good, and I'm certain she will be missed by folks here.
