#really thank you
Note
i’m sorry that because of one person’s horrible actions you (and others in the space) feel they have to justify themselves and who they are. it’s grossly unfair and i can’t imagine how it must feel for you. i hope it’s a reassurance that we trust you and believe in you and support you. sendings hugs your way, i know this must be such a difficult day 🫂
Thank you.You know, when this came out, I didn't even think that someone would accuse me of lying, and it was actually a friend who warned it might happen. I said I wasn't worried; the idea sounded nonsensical to me.
I don't use Mexicanness as a marketing tactic in either myself or my books particularly. I'm actually pretty critical of "Mexico" in my fiction; my short story Midnight Invitation is about a mestizo guy sleeping with a white settler, and The River Boy is a pre-Colombian story. I have a lot of love for my culture, but I also critique it. I was actually interviewed last year on "latin fantasy" but I refused to shared the completed article because they cut out what I insisted they keep in: I think most of the popular "Latine fantasy" books have an huge indigenous appropriation problem.
I have a small suspicion that the main person who attacked me was Taylor trying to "take me down with them" because they know I don't want to show my face, but I've shown my face to other author colleagues and more importantly I think I have ways to "prove" I'm Mexican that aren't my actual body or skin-deep (ha) references to Dia de Muertos or Chocolate abuelita, how Taylor/Freydis attempted to do on their old race-faking account:
I have a tie to a specific place in Mexico with a specific culture within a specific time, with a specific language even. And culture isn't that vague aesthetic anglo-white people believe you partake in sometimes, it tends to come with real, constant material conditions.
And I can talk about those conditions just fine; I can talk about what Felipe Calderon's failure of militarization in Mexico, and I can talk about the issue of Mexican-American ICE recruitment in Mex-Am enclaves along the southern border. I can talk about very specific experiences of being told "Ta-ta-ta-tamaulipas!" by the border patrol. So on and so on.
I'm sorry for this essay, but I keep seeing "how does this keep happening that the industry boosts a race-faker more than the actual racially-ethnically marginalized people?" It's because the industry (I'm including the wider white book community here) only want the aesthetic of diversity. They want a white experience and white understanding in a racialized trenchcoat and that's exactly what a racefaker is.
It's been difficult to learn that a friend turned out to be a complete monster and liar, but I'll survive this and laugh about it in time as long as Taylor doesn't bother me again. And if Taylor is reading this, I don't hate you. I just feel very sorry that you're spending your life doing this. Please don't bother me or anyone else again

It’s that time of the year again so here’s my art vs artist
My art did a complete 180 and I drew a lot this year. It’s always been hard for me to be proud of the things I make but I think I can say that I am genuinely proud of the art I made this year. I honestly didn’t think getting into Sleep Token would inspire me this much to start enjoying making art again.
To both my old and new followers, thank you so much for enjoying the art I make ily (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ 🖤
#really thank you#i really appreciate everyone supporting me ily#art vs artist#art vs artist 2023#artists on tumblr#sleeptoken#gaerea#konig#ghost

I woke up with a ball of anxiety in my gut at 4am which didn’t go away, despite going back to sleep. Had a dream I can’t recall now, but I woke up from it tense, thinking ‘well, I’m glad that was just a dream.’ I had to go to the supermarket - overwhelmed as always by the sensory excess of all the noise added to the social anxiety - an amazing time. Had to rush away from the the fridges crying, having witnessed a very elderly lady being helped with her shopping by a carer - reminded of mortality, or my grandmothers already lost, or both.
I got home and just curled up in the sun in my backyard for a while, feeling utterly wrecked.
But into this mental landscape came an urge - so I opened up AO3 and started reading - after months of being unable to really engage with fiction (which happens a lot) I read and I read and I was taken somewhere else, somewhere better - out of my head, out of my own overload.
I share all this here not with self-pity or asking for pity from y’all - the gods know this is just my life and it is what it is - but to say to all you fanfic writers out there:
Thank you. You are truly a blessing. Your stories are incredibly valuable. You never know when your words may be the thing to drag someone out of a shitty headspace or worse.
Keep writing. Keep publishing. Ignore the numbers. You’ll never know how valuable your contribution is.
#really thank you#living with anxiety is bullshit#behold the field in which i cultivate my vibes#fanfiction

Second to last day of the TMA relisten (a love letter, to @ashes-in-a-jar)
I didn't relisten.
Every now and then (more than that) I think about this post that says "there was love it didn't change anything it didn't save anyone but it is important that the love was there".
Of course it makes me think of The Magnus Archives, but everything can make me think of The Magnus Archives.
Hyperfixation? Yes, yes, that's a word for what it was but - no. It's about how I deal with grief.
And I read posts on the relisten from afar, keeping my heart safe from disaster, because I avoid grief, because I am terrified, because I had my heart shattered once, why would I want it shattered a second time?
As it comes to an end I feel regrets filling my guts. Because it was good. I know it was good. Because there was love, and it was important that there was love, because my refusal to partake in the act of love didn't change anything - tragedy is tragedy, we know the end and will not change it.
Loving is the only important thing we can do. So I think I'll grab my heart and listen to the last two episodes, today, tomorrow, because I have so much love to catch up with, because you held our collective hand through this tragedy and it is time I hold it back. It might not make a difference to you at all.
But tomorrow our hearts shatter, we will not avoid it, and if not before I thank you now, and accept your offer to have our hearts shatter Together.

It’s gonna be okay because “Then Celegorm no more would stay, and Curufin smiled and turned away.”
And also: “In Tauron's friths and pastures green had Huan once a young whelp been.
He grew the ·swiftest of the swift,
and Oromë gave him as a gift
to Celegorm, who loved to follow
the Vala's horn o'er hill and hollow.”
And:
“Curufin spake: 'Good brother mine,
I like it not. What dark design
doth this portend? These evil things,
we swift must end their wanderings!
And more, 'twould please my heart full well to hunt a while and wolves to fell.'
And then he leaned and whispered low that Orodreth was a dullard slow;
long time it was since the king had gone, and rumor or tidings came there none.
'At least thy profit it would be
to know whether dead he is or free;
to gather thy men and thy array.
"I go to hunt" then thou wilt say,
and men will think that Narog's good ever thou heedest. But in the wood things may be learned; and if by grace, by some blind fortune he retrace
his footsteps mad, and if he bear
a Silmaril—I need declare
no more in words; but one by right
is thine (and ours), the jewel of light; another may be won—a throne.
The eldest blood our house doth own.'”
And:
“In scorn stood Celegorm, unbowed, with glance of fire in anger proud
and menacing; but at his side
smiling and silent, wary-eyed,
was Curufin, with hand on haft
of his long knife. And then he laughed, and 'Well?' said he. 'Why didst thou call for us, Sir Steward? In thy hall
we are not wont to stand. Come, speak, if aught of us thou hast to seek!'”
Thank you so much 😭😭😭 these two nasty Elves always cheer me up, you know that well. Huan as a young puppy is too cute to imagine!
#youre the best#i appreciate it! the effort you put in to gather these quotes and send them to me 💕💕💕#really thank you#curufiin#asks#mutuals
