Grad school has me designing dnd characters who gazed at forbidden knowledge and went mildly insane

hear hear

putting a warning in my master’s presentation for academic analysis of anime characters

me, playing tabletop rpgs: I will pepper in the fact that I had a pirate phase—

Sunflowers - A Broku The sun hides its face Two blooms turn to each other You’re my whole world, bro

Purim starts tonight!!

today my phone autocorrected duck to fuck? did I jump timelines?

should I feel bad that 50% of the things I've done today have been "watch fall guy"

normal holiday convo with @adamstemple.bsky.social

My first book (co-written with my grandmother came out one year ago today! #amwriting #kidlit

Texts to my best friend range from “the pain gel smells bad” to “do you think this guy was haunting the narrative”

me, silently crop dusting my table during the writing through multiple senses workshop: Life Imitates Art

when I was a kid and made a wish on an eyelash I wished for superpowers. now I just wish for Tylenol.

Just taught @adamstemple.bsky.social how to use caps lock on his phone. I’m sorry in advance.

Today’s “your experiences are not universal” moment is hearing @adamstemple.bsky.social play the organ through the vents while I’m trying to Use the Facilities™️

I have a Patreon! Haven’t posted in a while, but I’ll be starting updates again this summer. www.patreon.com/aristemple?u...

watching hockey while sick is so embarrassing. just croaking weakly “no stop” “didn’t like that”

helped a friend with a syntax issue today

you: please act normal you need these people to like you people: hello ari nice to meet you me: so he’s hyper performing masculinity while simultaneously using his sexuality as a weapon, so he essentially becomes a femme fatale, engaging in two separate performative identities concurrently

I’m very fun at parties.

me, trying to stay casual and fun about being sick: I’m actually like violently ill rn lol

me: I wrote like 1500 words today my anxiety, in an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice: but they were all BAD

I can be writing basically anything and think “hey wouldn’t this be better if there was a noodle incident?” And now I live in fear of becoming a Procurer of Unnecessary Noodle Incidents™️

Julie Power probably.

do I have to actually write? can’t I just send out of context screencaps to my best friend who lives in Canada? (yes he is real)

tried to write something creepy but fun and threw up a thousand words of angst with no end in sight. send help.

me: yeah I like this play my professor: okay ari it’s your turn to read your play me: oh god it’s terrible and I hate it

me: woo! 500 words! I’m doing great! my stomach: can we have breakfast? me: dammit I knew I was forgetting something

never seen someone commit so hard to a typo like @adamstemple.bsky.social has to the word “spuernatural”

being the only English major friend is fun because I get lots of weird texts like “how am I supposed to make this five sentences” and “what kind of organizational tools do you use”

I got groceries to make spaghetti dinner tonight and then was violently reminded that I’m technically Still Injured™️ while taking said groceries to my car

the tea on my shoulder is that no one knows what a soft tissue injury is and voltaren gel smells bad

things I did today instead of writing - went to urgent care - ate a pizza - cried after getting a heat pack out of the back of the closet - played wingspan - drank ginger ale

Whoever put a barnes and noble in the same strip mall as the urgent care had their third eye open

Pros and cons of Boskone weekend: PRO - cool panels - hung out with my dad - saw my grandmother and aunt - Theodora Goss was there CON -fell down the stairs and sprained my shoulder
