🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

Probably: "What does blood taste like?"

📚 ⇢ what's the last thing you wrote down in your notes app? 

This one's a shower thought I had related to my Theloise Hunger Games AU!

Eloise tries to teach Theo how to shoot using a bow and arrow. He fails spectacularly.

I made a breakthrough with my research! I won't get into the details since it's confidential, but I'm working on mathematics + computer science research and it's all very fun. 😋

Rediscovering my hobbies! I've been reading more recently (I recently read The Rose Code by Kate Quinn and I'm currently reading White Nights by Fyoder Dostoevsky). I've also always wanted to write fanfiction but never found the time or energy, so I'm really happy that's something I can do now!

I have the best friends a girl can ask for! I also have some great mutuals <3

Thanks for the ask! <3

The same crowd that gets on Eloise’s neck about being rich and privileged and unaware of how hard other people’s lives are is the same crowd that trashed her for spending time with Theo, seeing more of the world outside of the ton, learning more about women’s rights and the world around her and called her selfish for wanting more than to spend her life as a man’s trophy-on-a-shelf

Almost like you guys don’t actually want her to grow and expand her worldview, you’re just waiting for Scumbag Ph*lip to come and completely destroy her spirit and punish her for thinking she could possibly do more with her life than be a wife and mother

And what exactly was so selfish about her spending time with Theo? You guys love Benophie as if the class difference isn’t also a factor there

I love them!

He also likes his long paragraphs!

Man, does Dostoevsky love his ellipses.

Yeah I'm in the maths fandom but I don't really engage with the source material as much as I used to, y'know? I'll go back and read the classics but even then not recently and honestly I vibe so much harder with the place the fanfics are going.
