Accessibility tip:
If you want to automate your home a bit, but you don't want any "smart" tech, you can just buy remote controlled power sockets instead
They are a lot cheaper and easier to set up and use than some home automation smart tech nonsense
They don't need an app (but some models come with optional apps and there are apps that are compatible with most of these)
Many of them use the 433mhz frequency to communicate, which makes most models compatible with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers
The tech has been around for a long time and will be around for a long time to come
You don't have to put any fucking corporate listening devices like an amazon echo in your home
Models for outdoors exist as well

Not counting the actual immortals, would probably be Relarial: "Homecooked meals and warcrimes."
Sometimes a worldbuilding question pops into my brain and I have nowhere to use it. Case in point:
What's the weird food or drink or bad habit that the eldest elders in your world say is the reason why they've lived as long as they have?

oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what they’ve been through

A Writeblr (re)Intro
It feels like an appropriate time to reintroduce myself considering how long I've been gone so,,,,, Howdy!
I'm Charles (he/him), though I'll answer to just about any variation of my name. I'm a 23 year old neurodivergent trans dude from the US.
My mutuals might remember my main wip/special interest project The Magician and Ms. Psychic. It's about a young woman struggling to make a name for herself as a supervillain (wip intro here).
I have a few new side projects I'll probably introduce at some point, but 90% of the time auDHD brain has trouble focusing on anything but my dumbass gay supervillain wip.
I love tag games! I'm probably going to be a bit slow to respond to games while I'm easing back into being active here, but tag games are always a ton of fun!
My ask box is open! Feel free to ask me about my wips or my characters, or even just pop in and tell me some cool things about your characters or let me know how your writing is going.

I see a lot of people who tell young people–especially young people who are heading into college–that they should “do what they love.” And they’re right. You should do what you love.
But there’s a world of difference between doing what you love for you, and doing what you love for a paycheck.Â
I went to undergrad for graphic design and 3-D design–art and more art, I usually say–and I loved it. You know what I didn’t love? Trying to collect my fees from clients. Trying to meet unrealistic, over-simplified or over-specific briefs from people who didn’t know what they were talking about. Coming home, having worked creatively all day, with no creative juice left for the things I wanted to do.
You know what I would tell you instead? Do something that you can be interested in, with people you like.
You don’t have to love it. Loving your work can be a lot, and it often means you have to live in your job 24/7. Some people can do that. Not everyone can, or should. But if you can find work that’s interesting enough that it doesn’t feel tedious, and people you can enjoy spending your 9-5 with, and you can make money, that’s great! It means you can do the things you love for you.
I’m in law school now. It’s interesting work, and difficult, and I like doing it. I like how complicated it gets, and I like the stories it tells. But I don’t come home and read law journals for fun. I come home, and I sculpt, and I draw, and I paint, and I read. I do these things for me.
And I love it.Â
