Kalira's Randomness

Doing so means that tonight, I will dream of my true love.

my mom is in fact aware that dandelions exist. she temporarily forgot the name and there was some miscommunication.

the truth is actually weirder

she's aware dandelions look like this

she is familiar with this flower. she knows the name of this flower. she declines to believe, however, that these are also dandelions

she does not believe these are the same plant. I tried to explain, and she thought I was either misinformed or lying. so I asked her what exactly did she think the yellow ones were called?

gosh I enjoy this website

Well, hey there guys, gals and non-binary pals! I decided (in my infinite wisdom if which there is none of) that I wanted to open up a writing challenge for people who wanted something a little out there. WELCOME TO HELLO HANKERCHIEFS! (An 18+ LGBTQIA multifandom writing event!)

RULES:

All participants in the event must use this form to generate their bingo cards. You can have as many or as little as you want to write!

Once all cards are generated and handed out over Tumblr/Discord, participants can then begin their fics at any time between that date and July 30th, 2026 (plenty of time to think about everything!)

All fics must have a rating between Teen and Up at the very least, Mature or Explicit due to the nature of the prompts being given.

All necessary tags must be included in the fic for content purposes, including the tag for the challenge, both in Tags and Collection if on AO3 and everywhere else if not (hellohankies2026)

No hate to anything written here! Anything goes when it comes to both participants' writing as well as the content of the cards.

Well, that's all from me, so I hope to see some new faces have a go at writing some of these and getting out there! See you soon!

Most alleged one-shots that supposedly cap out at 5k words are only a couple weeks old or severely malnourished, and once they start receiving proper care and writing sessions, they'll blow up to 25k, 50k, or often even 100k or more. This is perfectly normal and the size they were always meant to be!

But sadly, many writers don't have space in their homes & lives for such a long fic, which is why it's a shame they're often presented as one-shots.

Oh huh! I hadn't realized I didn't post this one here on Tumblr! I finished this study in early March and have plans to have it be one of 3 pieces to go together 🙂‍↕️

it's still actually perfectly fine to do it

and you shouldn't stop yourself from starting just because it won't be a permanent change.

Like if starting a new daily planner gives you an amazing afternoon of planning and four days where you feel in charge of your life,

why not do it?

It doesn't matter that it won't be a permanent change - 4 good days is still worth it.

If you ever catch yourself thinking, "I wish I could pray/stretch/prep/plan/do the thing, but I always get started on that and it never lasts more than a couple of days,"

what this really means is, "hey, I can feel better for a couple of days."

if this post is making you think of things in your own life that you wish you could stick to because of how good they make you feel,

just be aware:

you're not thinking of a list of ways you've failed to commit
