"🌿 TUMBLR INTRODUCTION 🌿

Hello everyone, we are the tumblr account for The Olympians: a Tears of Themis Zine. Please take a look at our schedule on our carrd and upcoming contributor applications!

Hello! I’m Sim, and I’ll be Running this Zine Studio!

A little about me: My name is Sim, I’m 23 and I’ve been writing “x reader” fanfics for about 6 years! You might recognize me from my writing blogs @superhero--imagines , @harrypotter-imaginess , @voltagedrabbles-archive , @sunflowerletters , or my bat boy zine @bat-boys-zine

Since I started writing, I’ve fluctuated from writing “x reader” formatted works, and original fiction short stories and poems, and what I’ve noticed is that there is not any studio that consistently provides “x reader” style zines. I know there are many talented, ambitious people writers and artists in this community that would love to be apart of a zine, but might not be able to due to lack of a robust portfolio, lack of traditional sample pieces, or lack of experience working in zines. We believe in paying artists for their work, so all contributors will receive payment if accepted for their final contributions. Payment is contingent upon success of the zine, with all profits equally distributed amongst contributors, mods and organizers.

We hope that with this studio, we are able to provide a lasting, seasonally produced zine, that you can be proud to contribute towards, or see on your shelf.

We will be posting our first interest check soon, until then feel free to ask any questions, or message with any concerns you might have!

Sincerely,

Aaaaand $48 dollars later it’s over 😭😭

So I uh, I opened an Etsy shop!! Out of impulsiveness after I visited my friends boutique lol, as you can see it’s a lot more expensive to order from Etsy (because of selling fees) but if you’ve been waiting for a safer way to order this is it!

So I’ve seen a few people are doing this, and I thought it would be kind of fun! Also I need to save money for a new phone/my education/ books

So a little about me, other than this blog I also do a ton of pen paling as a hobby. So this will be a kind of like commissions and I can do different things based on the amount of effort I put into your letters. All characters will have different handwriting based on what I think it would be like - I can also do a typed letter if you like. (All letters will be on good quality paper and first 5 people will get extras for free)

Prices below are for US, and include postage, if you’re international it’ll be $1 USD more. If you want some examples of letters I’ve done are linked below

Tiers:

Basic - $6

Around a 200 word letter

Drawing/character design on the envelope

Stickers/bookmarks/origami/ photograph some kind of “in character” extra (one extra of your choice)

Example here

Bronze Tier -$8

Around 200-250 words

Your name in script on the outside and character design/illustration of your choice (I’m quite good at flowers)

Two extras- photographs/bookmarks/stickers/ origami - whatever extra

The Works - $11

I will design the HELL out of your envelope, custom character on the front, layered paper stuff- Ugh it would be soo cute

Everything from bronze tier, but like a little more effort

I’ll send you a playlist from the character you chose

I (the human being behind this blog) will personally send you a post card with a positive message and a bag of tea (or a paper good because covid)

Example here

Fandoms I will Write for:

DC Comics

Marvel Comics

Twilight

Harry Potter

Haikyuu!!

My Hero Acadmeia

Lord of the Rings

Percy Jackson

And more! Just message with what character and I’ll try to work with you!

If you’re interested pls DM me and I’ll send you a form to fill out with - what you would like, what kind of theme, and other relevant information (also if you’re not comfortable giving your address I could always scan you your letter via email!)

Also- If you want something EVEN more than ‘The Works’ Like an actual package I could work with you on that. 

☆✮Important information about goods of the General Election✮☆ 

Sorry for the late announcement, and please read the first post! More details to follow!

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

first aid kit

 sunscreen

 a travel alarm clock or watch

 mylar emergency blanket

 a backpack is a must

 downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

 sleeping bag

 travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

 swiss army knife

Take care of your feet - if you can’t walk, you stand a very real chance of dying. That’s not an exaggeration, take care of your feet.

Keep them dry, and if you can manage it try to change your socks daily - I had three pairs I would wash - more or less - and hang to dry so that I always had a dry pair to replace the ones I had on if they got wet.

Even a cheap plastic water bottle is a water bottle, fill it from public fountains and stay hydrated. If you can carry two and have room, keep one in your bag.

Your bag is your life. Do not put it down. I used to sleep with it on my front, it helped a little in terms of staying warm.

Newspapers torn up and stuffed into your jacket can help you stay warm. Layers are your best defense, you don’t want to sweat because that will compromise your ability to stay warm and dry. If you get overheated you can peel off a layer and put it in your bag.

DONT overburden yourself. A heavy bag full of stuff might make you feel more prepared but it will also wear you out, trying to haul everything around. Pack smart, pack light.

Ziplock bags get thrown out all the time, grab them. You can pack anything you don’t want to get wet in them, and you can also suck the air out of them and seal them so they take up less space.

Learn to build shelter; this is a skill I personally think everyone should learn Just In Case, because dumpsters are great but they’re also dumpsters. You don’t want to sleep behind one unless you really, really have to.

I met somebody in Harvard Square. I didn’t wanna give him money but I bought him wet wipes, a new reusable bottle, and a sammich.
