On this day (4/23/23), last year (4/23/22), I published my first Zelda fanfiction. :D

I had spent at least a few months reading a lot of fanfiction, specifically for Linked Universe, and at the end of April, finally got the courage to post one of the things I'd written. I got such a warm and welcoming response, and so I published another. And another. Et cetera. I've had such a great time here. My Zelda era has lasted longer than anything except my Disneyland era back in like 2016, and a large part of that is due to y'all, the people who enjoy my stuff and encourage me and the friends I've made here.

Happy one year and here's to more! :D

My published word count on AO3 is at 453,867 words, with at least 50k more of unpublished. 500k in one year! My very first fic, so i admit that the mud didn't do much for me, is still in my top 10 for hits. I have 3 unfinished fics (I have next chapters drafted for the most part), 67 finished, 7 series, and several AUs I've written and drawn for.

I've accomplished a lot this year despite all the crazy in my life, and I'm still excited to make more art! :D

#he probably laughed tbh #he probably wasnt surprised #he did it to himself tbh #luckily tho ive come across barely any weirdchamp fanfics in this fandom #yall are cool #so i doubt he saw any #and ive gone through like the entirety of pd fanfics and the weird ones were pretty deep down #idk how long he looked but he couldnt have looked long enough to find anything actually bad #edit: i wanna clarify that when i said he did it to himself i did NOT mean the weirdchamp stuff #nono i just meant ghostknife fanfics in general

Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?

Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.

All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)

But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.

But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.

I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?

It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.

Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.

Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)

#this is the grandmother who passed away unexpectedly earlier this month #she was so cool yall #and so weird #they got married twice by the way once when Massachusetts legalized it and once when New Mexico did #they hiked the grand canyon together #they had a european river cruise planned for this fall #she was 89 and she wanted to see the whole world with her wife #and they were working on it #literally i thought they were roommates #and there was only one bed
