My brain is absolutely consumed by Hayden. I'm starting a prequel. It's going to be noncon heavy, so it'll be on AO3 again, not Tumblr. Hayden is just, I love her

16. Do you have any whump media recommendations (whump blogs, books, movies, etc.)?
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i always get carried away when asked to make lists but LETS GO
recently reread the devil's highway from @lonesome--hunter and i cannot recommend it enough. it gets pretty dark but also its just so good its unreal. i love it.
some other timeless classics include
kane & jim from @whumpsday
the rare bookseller from @oliversrarebooks
the ashtray from @honeycollectswhump
a new beginning from @a-crumb-of-whump

blogs where i literally can't choose just one story because all the writing is exquisite include
@quietly-by-myself
@pigeonwhumps
@oddsconvert
@the-bloody-sadist
and @just-a-whumping-racoon-with-wifi
i always feel like i forgot things when i do lists like this but alas. also i can never recommend any media other than blogs because i dont consume anything😭 but i hope i managed to recommend something you end up loving!
(also honestly these people are awesome writers in general so if i recommended one story from them but they have more... or they have oneshots... do check those out. i bet theyre all sooo so so good even if i havent gotten around to reading them all yet)
18. What whump content are you currently craving?

I'm debating leaving my blog as an archive. I might move exclusively to AO3 and stop posting on here, except for links to my AO3. I've come to realize that my work is too adult for this website and that Tumblr is moving in a direction that is fundamentally unfriendly to my work. If you do not already know, I have previously been shadowbanned. I'm scared of it happening again or getting my account nuked. I don't want to be on a platform that would censor my dark-themed writing. I also, as much as I love my mutuals, find Tumblr to be stressful these days.
Anyway, I'm going to start working on building my AO3. Thank you for listening to this ramble.

Hi!
First two chapters of Hayden's story are up. Chapter 3 is in editing, but Chapters 4 & 5 are ready to go! Once Chapter 3 is finished with editing, the rest of the story will go up! I appreciate your support.

Hi! I wanted to thank you for creating Hayden. I don't think I've ever read about a character that experiences dysphoria, binds, takes T, but still uses she/her pronouns. It hit something in me because that might be somewhere I'm headed. I'm glad I got to read that first chapter, and I look forward to reading the rest on AO3 someday - though, if you end up never posting it, I'd respect that too. I understand you've had a fraught relationship with posting your work.
I hope you are well and that writing is bringing you joy and catharsis.
Hi Anon!
First, thank you for this ask. As a queer person, I can think of few higher honors than helping someone along their personal queer journey. Truly, this touched me. People like you are why I write characters like Hayden.
Hayden has had her own journey. She would call herself a trans lesbian if asked, which I know could be controversial to some. However, having interacted with a lot of transgender people with varying expressions and backgrounds, I've learned a lot about how people express themselves.
I want to tell you Anon, I know multiple trans she/hers that take T, experience dysphoria, and pursue gender affirming surgeries. I know some he/hims who have never taken T and never will take T. Gender cannot be broken down to pronouns. It's so much more expansive, so much more complex than any Tumblr post or one person can tell you. You are not alone Anon. I promise you up and down that just because you don't see yourself in the media you consume, that there aren't other people like you.
Hayden was written from a place of love for people who don't fit into the mold, partially because I'm one of them. In my closet is a dress with sandals and men's dress pants, dress shirt, suit, and shoes. I feel a deep need to represent people I don't see represented because I'll tell you, I've never seen anyone like me in media before.
I hope you find happiness, Anon. I hope you find peace. I hope you find yourself and you love yourself for who you are, whatever or whoever that might be. Remember that you're not alone. You're never alone. One more thing - you're worth it. Once you find yourself, whether that's you on T or not, binding or not, you will be so glad that you did. Even if it's hard right now, it gets better. It's a cliche thing to say, I know, but speaking as someone who's known they were queer for 8-9 years, it does get so, so much better than when you're first out there.
And, speaking strictly as a writer, I wrote Hayden for you. I wrote Hayden for everyone like you who needed to see themselves out there. You make writing and posting worth it.
Regarding Hayden's story: I'm editing the first draft. I want to put more work than I usually do into this one because there are some pacing issues later on. However, it's 100% written and will be posted eventually.
I'm as well as I can be right now, Anon. This journey of writing Hayden and her story has been so beyond cathartic. So thank you for that too, Anon.

I have a lady/trans whump story that I've been writing for the hell of it. It is very 18+ and has a lot of mature themes. Are y'all interested?

Hey y'all. It's been almost a month.
I've been using this break to begin relearning to write for myself. I've used it to heal from some shit that happened. I've used it to also stop doom scrolling and realize that I can't fix the world's problems. That I can't fight a war or change people's minds on my own. That to constantly kick against the stream is exhausting and that I'm not cut out for that.
I'm going to continue writing for myself. I'll see if I return and keep everyone here updated.
Thanks for 400 followers by the way! I'm also sorry for keeping everyone waiting. I'm okay. I hope y'all are too.
