This is so random, but you have a lot of followers and people who read and reply to your stories and the fact that you reply to almost everyone or just interact makes me feel like I’m a warm star going to explode happily😭. Just getting that off my chest
Hi there, lovely!!
Aww you're so very sweet. 🥹💖 Look, I still feel like I'm the new kid on the block sometimes. I only got started on Tumblr for real around January last year. I have a full-time job and a part-time job, along with occasional freelance work. I have plenty to keep me busy lol.
But I love coming to Tumblr to share my stories and connect with people. You guys have been very kind to me on here, and I genuinely love and appreciate every bit of feedback and engagement that I get from you guys. Which is why I try to reply as much as I can. 🙏🏽💕
I've made actual friends on here that brighten my week and help me get through stressful times. I reread people's lovely comments on my stories to make myself smile when I'm feeling down, or overwhelmed, or overworked.
I also love reading what my friends write and hyping them up when I can, because there's some amazingly talented people here, especially in SPN fandom. 💞
I'm also a giant nerd. 🥸✌🏽 I love talking about fandom and characters, plot points and narrative technique, songs I listen to while I'm writing, or the way writers develop their processes.
So please know, if anyone has ever enjoyed something I've written, you've given me joy right back when you let me know what you thought of it. Or if you've dropped in my inbox to ask me a question about a story, or on writing in general.
I love and appreciate you. 💓💓

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)
At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.
Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.
For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.
But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.
Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.
