Light a candle
Clap three times fast

Steel yourself and call him Jazz
As for gender, they are trans
He/they pronouns are a blast
Do you care or dare to dance
A dance of words, a dance of class

Okay! Evidently… I lost the bet. That’s okay.
I’m back from class and willing to procrastinate on homework for a few hours… so I’m going to get started sending and replying to PMs. I’ll respond to everyone in some shape or form, but it might take some time. If you don’t get a reply today...

Plus, all my OCs are either:
a). Non-human entities that have significant biological...
I tend to like most anime, and I can overlook most flaws... but man, I hated Fairy Tail with passion. I forced myself to watch 50+ episodes on the hope that it'd improve--mostly because I knew people that enjoyed it--but I just ended up hating it more. The "fanservice" was probably the single...
I write really long posts, so I'm lucky if I can handle 2 at once. Although... I usually scam more and go through alternating cycles of satisfaction and regret.
I went through a depressing emo phase when I was 12, and I spent most of my time writing dramatic poetry and short stories about death. Well, a 12 year old's writing ability is generally limited... so I ended up on this forum for teenagers to discuss writing techniques and critique each other's...
