Introduction/Fun Pearlie Facts
Was abt time I did one of these.
Hello everyone, my name is Pearl, Pearlie or Sam/Sammy if you're feeling like it. Friends also call me Martini sometimes.
I am a minor, my labels... we dont talk about them (fem presenting ftm gay/mlm + trying out gendervoid and verinix + bigender??) uhmm and I go by He/She, tho mostly He/Him by strangers- I can She/Her myself and close friends/mutuals are allowed! (I also go by neos: Void/Moon/Sweet/It/Fluff/Love/Fizz/Paw)
I'm from Argentina, born and raised, never moved. Speak fluent english and spanish.
I got the 'tism and the adhd, aswell as BPD and a few other things I wont list right now! But yeah I'm psychotic (ooo scary word.. lmao)
- -🌄-📀-🌙- -💚- -💛- -✨-🌄-✨- -💛- -💚- -🌙-📀-🌄- -
I'm an IRL of many, mainly c!Pearl (mcyt), Samuel Emily (fnaf [games canon]) and Shin Tsukimi (yttd). If you don't like it you can leave, block me, or whatever, cause you aint gonna change my life or how I am. I'm in therapy, which unlike random hate and harrassment online, does help me :)
I like to roleplay, draw, sometimes make playlists or moodboards.. And my biggest interests right now are Life Series (+ evo + new life), Empires1(+ a bit of e2) and FNaF! (i dont rlly like the books tho lol..)
I use kin tags for reach cause I'd love interaction from any fellow lifers or empires ppl, hermits aswell!! Tho I havent finished s8 or s9 yet...
Fictionkins, therians and traumagenic systems all welcome!
- -💥-🐺-🌙- -❤️- -💛- -✨-💥-✨- -💛- -❤️- -🌙-🐺-💥- -
DNI prefferably:
- Basic DNI criteria (proshippers, homophobes, transphobes, racists, TERFs, ableist, etc)
- Endos/non-traumagenic "systems" DNI. block me if u want, i wont argue abt it in the comments/reblogs. or interact if u want but im not gonna follow u back or anythin shrugs.
- reality checkers or anti-IRLs DNI. I aint "romanticizing" shit, I'm existing and living my life, if thats a problem to you too bad cause my psychologist aproves of what I'm doing, since I aint harming anyone and I myself am doing dandy.
- anti-kin also DNI cause most of my friends are fictionkins and if you talk shit abt my fellas idk i wouldnt like having u around much
CCs interact at your own risk. This is my domain, cyan man & moon lady. /hj
- -🪸-🐸-🌙- -💙- -🩵- -✨-🪸-✨- -🩵- -💙- -🌙-🐸-🪸- -
"Disclaimer"
- I talk about MajorMoon (Scott x Pearl) a LOT, if u didnt notice by the acc theme. These are my romantic memories, its a gay ship, not woman/gay man, so if it makes u uncomfortable or u hate it or whatever then ur probably not gonna like my content lmao. COUGH, consider joining us if you do like what you see... /nf We're a small comunity of supporters.. just me.. and a few of my peeps... that was a joke, sir. /ref
- This isn't roleplay, its my main acc where im ""unapologetically"" myself, but if u do wanna rp life series/empires u can always shoot me a dm and maybe I'll give u my discord.
- I talk about myself (c!Pearl) using 3rd person in many posts tagged with main fandom tags. This is to cause less confusion to casual fans slash ""normies"" (lhj) that well.. don't know what IRLs are! Also that way I feel safer and don't have to worry as much abt getting harassed and such for my identity.

Introduction to The Mind Of Many
Technically our second one... but our last one wasn't exactly an 'Official' introduction post and more just something that was quickly typed up on the day the account was created, so here we go!
We are a Traumagenic System of 20, we have an 'About Us' on our page which you can find here but it's more of a list than it is an 'About'.
It's listed as a WIP but honestly, I don't know how much is going to be done with that (if anything). Not only because we don't feel it's particularly necessary for us to publish a lot of specific details considering the nature of this account is very much just for fun and having our own space to talk about whatever we want. There is of course the obvious aspect of privacy, as well as the fact that we are constantly learning more about ourselves everyday too, so having an accurate and intricate paragraph describing each headmate seems a little unrealistic for us with where things stand...
We collectively will respond to Peter, as that's the alias that we use online in general, but Peter in tags will be used for Peter the Host. We also collectively use he/him. Yes we have separate ways to be addressed/that some of us like to be addressed when fronting... but no one is going to be offended by being called one collective thing either if someone doesn't know we are a system/doesn't know who's fronting/wants to address all of us collectively etc!
Any text post from us will be under ramblings and the nature of these posts can be anything from letting out some emotions and having a bit of a complain to just talking about thoughts that pop into our head or something we thought might be funny, so just keep that in mind as we aren't incredibly organised with tags and labelling things.
Posts tagged under ramblings may or may not also be followed up with who was fronting if they feel like tagging themselves, for example when tagged under Peter or Zero. There may be multiple names if someone is co-con/co-front.
Sometimes names in tags will also be used if a post or image reminds us of someone in the system and we want them to see it OR they found it cool themselves and wanted to specifically tag themselves underneath for whatever reason.
Feel free to interact, we're always open to messages. We may not always reply immediately, but that doesn't mean that you're at all a bother. Some headmates are a lot more enthusiastic about talking than others, it depends on our general energy levels too, but we'll always get back to you when we can!
Don't really have any type of DNI list as typically we'd just block people as we see fit.
Other things about us:
Bodily we are 24.
We have ASD, NPD, BPD, C-PTSD and Methamphetamine-Induced Neuronal Damage. These things don't define us, but they may be relevant when it comes to some of the things we post and share. It may also be useful when it comes to others making an informed decision on whether this is the kind of blog that they'd like to follow as these topics probably will come up at least occasionally within some of our content!
Honestly that should be about all for now! Hope to see you around!

I was tagged by @icedchailatte, people like never tag me in these things I feel so honored lmao.
Don’t feel obligated by any means if you’re in this list, but I’m tagging @pumpkin-queef @msblam @cydoniadreamland @flaccid-robot-penis @borjaxton @lethargicthylacine @coffeeofthegay
1. Do you prefer writing with a black pen or blue pen? Black.
2. Would you prefer to live in the country or city? Country, then I could have sheep!
3. If you could learn a new skill what would it be? Fencing! I took a week long fencing class once when I was little and have wanted to get into it more since.
4. Do you drink your tea/coffee with sugar? I drink coffee with a blinding amount of sugar, but with tea it really depends. Usually some sugar but not much.
5. What was your favourite book as a child? Not to be a furry on main but the warrior cats books were my JAM.
6. Do you prefer baths or showers? Showers. I used to prefer baths but then someone pointed out to me that bathing is stewing in your own filth and now I’m grossed out by them. Do love bath bombs tho.
7. If you could be a mythical creature, which one would it be? Does shapeshifter count? That would be best for my indecisive ass.
8. Paper or electronic books? Paper. The physical thing just hits different yknow?
9. What is your favourite item of clothing? Either a Ghost band shirt I have, since they’re one of my fave bands and my partner gave it to me, or this t-shirt I got from a friend with a smug looking frog face that says “yikes” on it.
10. Do you like your name or would you like to change it? Already changed it baybee ;)
11. Who is a mentor to you? I have a friend who’s like a master class level cosplayer who’s slowly but surely teaching me The Ways Of The Cosplayer™️.
12. Would you like to be famous and if so, what for? Sometimes I think so, I’d love to make a huge number of people happy either by being funny or with my art, plus I’d love to be able to help spread awareness and end stigmas through fame, but then I remember how paranoid all that attention would make me. Long story short, no.
13. Do you consider yourself a romantic person? Not really, but I can be if I wanna be.
14. Which element best represents you? Personality quizzes reliably tell me earth, so earth I guess?
15. Who do you want to be closer to? My friends from college. We never talk unless it’s in person and I don’t get to see them much :(
16. Do you miss someone at the moment? Yeah. I cut ties with my old Favorite Person (a thing related to BPD) about 1 1/2 years ago because she’s toxic af, I still regularly think about/miss her.
17. Tell us about an early childhood memory. When I was 11 I pulled out my two front teeth (not baby teeth, the actual legit ones) pulling open a drawer with my mouth while pretending to be a cat. I had to get a root canal to put them back in place, and was a lil celebrity at my dentist for years because of it. All the dentists loved root canal cat kid xD.
18. What is the strangest thing you have eaten? My childhood house is so dusty I could (and regularly did) catch dust in my mouth like snowflakes until I learned what it was.
19. What are you most thankful for? How well my transition has gone so far/the fact I’m able to transition at all.
20. Do you like spicy food? I desperately want to cause so much food from other cultures is spicy, but my acid reflux prevents me from building much of an immunity to it so I’m way too much of a wuss.
21. Have you ever met someone famous? I shook Bill Nye’s hand when he visited my hometown for a talk.
22. Do you keep a diary or journal? Yes, for therapy mostly, but I usually forget to write in it.
23. Do you prefer to use a pen or a pencil? Pencil. I goof way too much to not be able to erase.
24. What is your star sign? Virgo. I don’t care about or believe in astrology at all tho.
25. Do you like your cereal soggy or crunchy? Crunchy, I’m no heathen.
26. What would you want your legacy to be? I just wanna be known for being helpful.
27. Do you like reading, what was the last book you read? I love reading, but haven’t regularly since early high school. Last book I read was a wholesome manga called Merman In My Tub. I recommend it.
28. How do you show someone you love them? I usually send them lots of things related to stuff they like and make gifts for them.
29. Do you like ice in your drinks? Absolutely.
30. What are you afraid of? Spiders (not nearly as much as I used to be thanks to exposure therapy), ticks, parasites, death, confrontation, losing my friends.
31. What is your favourite scent? Probably either rose or campfire.
32. Do you address older people by their name or surname? First name unless they tell me otherwise.
33. If money was not a factor, how would you live your life? I’d live on a commune with my close friends. We wouldn’t be totally self sufficient, but we’d grow/make at least half the food and clothes we use. I’d come as close to having a private zoo as a person can actually ethically do without cramping/neglecting the animals. I’d play video games more than I worked. I’d regularly house people with nowhere to go. I’d sell sewing commissions and work somewhere like an animal rescue facility. A guy can dream 😔.
34. Do you prefer swimming in pools or the ocean? Pools. If I think too much about how much poop has to be in any natural body of water it sets off my OCD (I’m fine if I forget to think about it tho).
35. What would you do if you found $50 on the ground? Keep it. There’s no way to track who’s it is, if there was I’d try to return it.
36. Have you ever seen a shooting star? A few times.
37. What is the one thing you would want to teach your children? I don’t want kids, but if I did I’d want to teach them how to recognize differences in cultural practices without putting value judgements on them.
38. If you had to have a tattoo, what would it be and where would you get it? I already have one (zelda tattoo on my shoulder), and am planning many more. Next one I want is a paw print from my cat on my stomach where he likes to knead.
39. What can you hear now? The wind in the trees outside, the fan, my partner shifting his feet, I think cicadas?
40. Where do you feel the safest? The living room when I’m alone in the house, listening to music and snuggling with my cat.
41. What is the one thing you want to overcome/conquer? Either my misophonia or my fear of confrontation.
42. If you could travel back to any era, what would it be? Pre-colonialism North America. I’d love to see this continent in its not fucked up state.
43. What is your most used emoji? Tie between 🅱️, :’) and 😬
44. Describe yourself using one word. Clown.
45. What do you regret the most? Never standing up for myself or my friends as a kid/teen.
46. Last movie you saw? Hamilton. Very good but also overrated.
47. Last tv show you watched? Something I don’t remember the name of on PBS about octopi.
48. Invent a word and it’s meaning. Schlumple. It’s like when you’re sitting slumped and squished in on yourself you’re sitting all schlumpled. My rats do it all the time.

So funny thing my therapist (who immediately gave away my recurring slot when I missed one session) was just cycling around to bipolar disorder in terms of trying various treatments and I thought BPD stood for Bi-Polar Disorder so I went looking thru the tag here in tumblr dot com and I was all like "holy shit! Same!" But then I realized that no, it stands for Borderline Personality Disorder so of COURSE the tag isnt for me and I'm not supposed to relate to any of it.
BUT THEN
(Disclaimer: I know watching a TV show isnt a diagnosis and only a doctor who knows you pretty well can even begin to do that)
Ages later, I watched Crazy Ex Girlfriend on Netflix and (spoiler alert) she finds out she has BPD and they go over a lot of the symptoms and she starts treatment etc etc (side note I straight up cried when I saw the support she got from her people), and I realized when they got out the dsm definition-- maybe that IS me.
So. I talked to my mom about it (which is weird in itself cause I dont normally trust her with personal information) and COME TO FIND OUT, she was diagnosed with BPD when she was in marriage counseling with my dad. Now, idk the exact circumstances or if the counselor was actually qualified to issue a diagnosis, but my mom certainly exhibits a lot of the traits too, AND BPD is genetic. Plus, BPD isnt a super common diagnosis; a lot of people get labeled as bipolar and that's the end of it (some of the drugs are the same though so the treatment probably still helps a bunch). Its a pretty big coincidence that my mom would be diagnosed and her kids who have the same traits would have something else, right?
I wanna get on the (2 goddamn month long) wait list for the campus health center asap cause if I can update my family medical history that can get me closer to an official diagnosis and treatment. Of course theres the transition thing to consider; since one of the traits is identity related it could get marked down as comorbid and then no one will let me transition cause "you're not actually trans, you're just crazy." So maybe I should pursue transition first and diagnosis second.

Hi I hope your morning/evening is going well! I came here and was wondering if it’s okay to ask for advice or ask if anyone else is going through something similar?
TW: One mention of SH (only mentions the initials)
I recently was diagnosed with BPD which has been helpful but also incredibly stressful with changing therapists and getting into contact with new psychiatrists and all that fun stuff. I opened up to a few really close friends about my diagnosis (and family) and something kinda unexpected happened? My friends who all have diagnosis ranging from autism, adhd, MDD, PTSD, etc. are being kinda insensitive about everything? They keep making these harmful statements like “She can’t do this anymore or she’ll have an episode” or making fun and/or being condescending towards the fact that I took a gap semester and took a break from my job and am now getting back into everything (straight up one friend holds the fact they make $1.00 more than me over my head like ???) “It’s about time you went back” “She might have an episode this isn’t a good idea” I’m really frustrated because A) they aren’t around me when I have episodes I self-isolate and they don’t know anything about what an episode could look like B) they started actually like this after I told them about my diagnosis they never treated me like this before. Also I don’t SH at all, so now they’ve actually tried to take things away from me and laugh about how I will try??? I did open up to them about how i felt but they keep talking over me or you know get all defensive over it and so resolving this actually has been difficult because they won’t listen. I’m just really frustrated and disappointed and honestly becoming so fed up I’m really considering ending some 10+ yr friendships and I really wish I had friends rn who understood what it’s like having this and weren’t treating me like a ticking time-bomb.
Hi anon! It’s definitely ok to drop into our ask box to vent or ask for advice, it’s always open!
I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this. I do know BPD has a lot of stigma surrounding it but I’m so sorry that you’re going through this with your friends, those are such horrible things to say. I don’t know why anyone, especially people who call themselves your friends, would make fun of your pain like that.
I will say I did have a couple similar experiences with friends in college, although mostly they just cut me off when I dropped out :))) but I don’t think I’ve experienced any bullying to the extent that you are, that sounds truly awful.
I will post your question and tag it to see if anyone else has advice for ya. My personal advice would be to cut those people off and find new friends, maybe even a support group for people with BPD? Idk what kind of options are available to you. But the sad truth is you can’t educate someone who doesn’t respect you, and it doesn’t sound like your friends are showing you any respect or love right now, which is what you deserve. There are better people out there, I promise 💖
Again, I’m really sorry to hear you’re experiencing this. People can be so disgustingly ableist and act like mental disorders are a funny joke and it’s so horrible when these conditions can be debilitating or even lethal.
I hope you’re holding up ok anon, and if you ever wanna reach out we’re here for ya. Best of luck💖💖

30 Questions
Tagged by @smiling-in-spanish
Gender: female
Birthday: 13th of February
Last movie seen: hmmmm not sure it might have been Bad Moms 2 a while ago cos I’m more into shows than movies
What do you post/reblog: politics and… Wow I have no idea what else. Self-loathing rants?
Last thing you Googled: “Jughead’s birthday” (lol I’m a piece of trash. Pls don’t judge me for watching Riverdale!)
Favourite blog: idk if this means to tag someone or not but I honestly don’t have a favourite, I guess stuff that matches my political views? Of like taking care of people and recognising that some people need more care than others cos we structured the world deliberately to hurt them?
Dream job: getting paid to binge watch shows and nothing else. Nah ok for real… Maybe counselor/‘therapist’, or paid revolutionary. Lol. (Not kidding though.)
Dream trip: away from my family. Nah it’s love to go back to Canada and see the people I met at the conference again - essentially just redo that trip hahaha. Or do something similar, a political conference, but in a Spanish speaking country and I could stay on afterwards to work and learn the language properly.
Bonus! More realistic dream trip - taking my brothers up north to see the treaty grounds and do a whole history journey to teach them about colonisation in NZ, pre-European Maori history, the NZ wars, the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, and everything else that I can squeeze in. They need to know. Ooooh and taking them to Waitangi on Waitangi Day. (Non-NZers will be confused by this entire paragraph but it’s v v important in terms of the past, present and future relationship between Pakeha/white and Maori/Indigenous NZers)
What would be your first entry in a new diary:
“I’ve done this too many times and I’m not giving you a whole backstory on my life to start off this diary. If you’ve reading this and you don’t know me then you must be a historian (if so why the hell are you reading this?) so you can research for yourself.
Nothing is good enough. The world, my life, my family and me.”
Top 3 things you love about yourself:
Ummmmmmmm I care about the world a lot a lot a lot. My hair’s nice I guess? Don’t love it though…. Idk. Oh, I’m a damn good mum friend.
3 things you wish you knew how to do:
Speak Te Reo Maori, speak Spanish, do the splits
Something you wish you had discovered/invented first: I don’t get the question really. If I wanted to make something but it already exists then I’m glad ya know? But maybe the #metoo movement?
3 qualities you like in a person: same as @smiling-in-spanish actually - sense of humour, kindness, intelligence. But kindness doesn’t have to be so much on a personal level as on a social/political level if that makes sense
3 qualities you dislike in a person: selfishness is a bit… Urgh. And arrogance, arrrrrggghhhhh so frustrating. And overdramatic/attention-seeking tendencies. It’s funny though cos all of those I hate but in some ways I wish I could be - even though it’s such a big fear of mine that I’m all 3, at the same time I wish I could be more of all three cos I’d get more attention.
Favourite planet: Earth. We haven’t been good to her but she’s been good to us. Plus daaaaamn she’s the prettiest of all of them!
A resolution you make every year: I don’t really make resolutions that much cos everyone knows they don’t stick. Last yr I said to be more honest which I don’t think really happened.
Something you’re better at than most people: comforting people
Something you’re worse at than most people: choosing who to be vulnerable with. In fact just vulnerability in general
Favorite thing about Tumblr: politics. I know, most people think it’s terrible here for that but it NZ not many people I come across are talking about intersectional feminism. Also fandoms. Argh they feed my heart!
Least favorite thing about Tumblr: how cos of the social awareness I expect white people to be better about recognising our privelege but we’re really really not (especially LGBTQ+ white people cos it’s like… You can see the oppression you experience but not the other elephant in the room?) White people are so stubborn and determinedly ignorant in that respect. Argh.
AND how US-centric everything is. A lot of the NZ peeps I follow I found by literally looking through the NZ, Aotearoa, Maori and Pasifika tags and following just based on that, cos there so little here about us.
Weapon of choice: fire. It’s already inside me.
Something not many people know about me: I can’t stand my Dad’s family? Idk no one on here really knew that anyway.
Favorite means of transport: I bus everywhere but I love long car trips with my mum playing my favorite CDs
Favourite story: the time I put a raisin up my nose and they had to use a dentists’ sucking tube thing to get it out.
Chicken or egg; I just have this feeling in my heart that it was the egg
Something that always makes you laugh: my self-deprecating humour??? Not always though
What is the strangest thing about you: maybe the raisin story? Or my hand problem but that’s more just a pain in the ass than strange.
EXTRA QUESTION cos I read it wrong the first time:
What is the strongest thing about you:
sense of justice. You can take away everything else about me and that will still be there, solid and burning.
You get to switch places with someone for a day. Who is it and why? Melania Trump. I’d set the White House on fire. With Donald Trump inside. (Hi FBI if you’re reading this, I will never actually do that. Just exaggerating for dramatic effect.)
Tag: @i-swear-i-m-trying @boogiesnikasnika @restlesskhaleesi @bpd-disaster @geoswalloon @the-moon-and-stars-my-love @tapakatonga @thereisnoneedtocallmesir GO!
I’m super keen to read all of yours and anyone else reading should consider themselves tagged and tag me in yours as well!

pulitzer, faulkner, dickinson, parchment please?
writer asks
pulitzer: tell about/link a piece where you fielt your writing was the best.
grind.  other than the ending.  and, like, i know most people don’t like it as much as my other stuff because emilio pov and whatever but i was and still am very happy with how it turned out.  i don’t think the coffee/sex/etc. metaphors are super anvillicious (they’re not particularly subtle but like? i’m proud of them?  they feel natural to the fic?) and i think it does what it was supposed to do and i actually like it.  i was really proud of grind when i wrote it and i’m still proud of it.
faulkner: what tropes do you LOVE writing? which ones are your guilty pleasure?
i...don’t really think about tropes when i’m writing?  and i don’t know the names for all of them. >woobie (LUISA FUCKING ALVER), knight in sour armor, determinator.
but story tropes....
trauma conga line.break the cutie.i did what i had to do and discussions around it.i love playing with sliding scales so sliding scale of idealism vs. cynicism is one of my particular favorites.  ^^...i also guilty pleasure graphic descriptions of body gore and playing around with cannibalism BUT i don’t think that’s in most of my fanfics.  might come up in a handful of dust.  probably definitely would’ve come up if i’d done the multi-chap expansion of body, body like i thought about doing oops.bandit likes writing dark topics how did bandit end up writing a lot of romance.
dickinson: what insecurities do you have about your own writing? what do you think you should improve on?
i suck at writing comedy.  i have a really hard time making my writing funny.  my jokes don’t hit.  when there are jokes.  i’m just not good at it.  (this is actually why i like ‘twas the night before Christmas so much - it actually makes me laugh.)
i’m also not great at having distinctive character voices in terms of dialogue.  if i have two similar characters talking at each other with no description and no dialogue tags - petra and rose, maybe - you should be able to tell them apart just by wording and how they speak and etc. and with my writing, i really don’t think you can.  i struggle with that a lot.
i’m not good at having my characters interacting with their surroundings.  i’ve gotten better at it,   but i have to actively fight to be conscious of it sometimes.
also trying to carry on conversations between three or more characters is really hard because inevitably i end up forgetting one or more characters being involved in the conversation.  but i think that’s just something that needs practicing and there’s fics that help with that a little bit.
also also my characters do tend to all feel the same...or similar.  (there’s a series i started that would have lampshaded that, actually, but that’s another story.)  i tend to have a handful of character types/themes and then variations on those themes.  how i write miss lint, for instance, feels a lot like how i used to write my very first original character.  luisa’s a lot like ara (who is...another character i go back to over and over and over).  rose takes some similarities from dana.  like - i can follow that.  idk.
parchment: how often do you or your personal life influence your writing?
i want to say not as much in fic as it does in novel stuff, but i don’t think that’s rightly true - it’s just...less blatant?  XD
my stories throughout high school and college (...and middle school) were very much hugely influenced by my life because that was how i worked through different situations or quandaries i was facing.  the book i consider my first novel was basically about a mixture of my ocd and my bpd - both of which were undiagnosed at the time - but in a fantastical sort of etc. setting.  crossroads may be super meta but it was also kind of sort of an allegory in how creations relate to a creator (but gets complicated from there because, given that it was metafiction, i didn’t want it to be strict allegory because...obvious reasons, God is God and bandit is not, etc.).  ara’s story was dealing with religious issues dealing with being gay (and also bury your gays trope...which is a combination of that and bandit just kills people in bandit’s stories - bandit used to be more whump inclined than romance inclined i blame the rpc and the roisa fandom).
i think it’s much less...like i said, much less blatant now than it was then.  XD
there are still definitely aspects of myself in each of my characters - i think, for me, it would be impossible to write these characters if i didn’t connect with them personally in some form or fashion, even the despicable ones (i know this is not true of all writers, but it is true, to some extent, of me).  some of them more than others (there’s a lot of me in my rose, and there’s a lot of me in my luisa, and there is significantly more of me in my miss lint, which is probably why i keep bringing her back).and there are definitely slightly more...relevant impacts - i was in iop when i started if you lived here, you’d be home now, which was definitely a huge part of wanting to write that part of luisa’s life.  i’d gotten out of a huge explosive fight with my mom when i started and posted the first chapter of luisa and the fox.so, uh, tl;dr - often.  frequently.  a lot.  just.  a little more subtle now than it used to be.  XD

Get to know me thingie
Get To Know Me Tag Tagged by: @bpd-wonderland
Rules: tag 20 blogs you’d like to get to know better
Nicknames: I am notorious for giving nicknames to others but I actually don’t have any of my own. In real life people call me Tan (short for Tanya) but uh….that’s it? I tried to get people to bestow me with the name ‘tiny ball of awesome’ but for some reason that hasn’t taken off yet
Zodiac sign: Gemini on the cusp of Cancer
Height: 5'2″
Last thing you googled: Skins fan fiction recs. Not because I am in the Skins fandom anymore (I’m not) but because some of the best fic I have ever read are from there. I am currently writing a genre (for UD) I have never written before and I am drawing some inspiration from some stories I read a few years ago.
Favorite music artist: I kinda like songs not artists, that said, hayley kiyoko is amazing. I also like Shura quite a lot too. 
Song stuck in your head: THIS IS EMBARRASSING. The other half and I were listening to the radio yesterday and this old 90s song called “Flaunt it” by  TV ROCK ft Seany B came on and now I can’t get it out of my head. Kinda works with what I am writing though.
Last movie you watched: I am a tv over movies kinda gal. I watch a lot of tv and not a lot of movies. But the last film I watched was Moonlight which I enjoyed very much.
What are you wearing right now: My fluffy pjs. I have a couple of hours until work and since I live in the southern hemisphere it’s starting to get cold. So a jumper, fluffy flannel pants and fluffy socks are needed.
Why did you choose your URL:It’s a long and convoluted story. Uh. Basically back in the Cretaceous period when I was a highschooler I would walk past the most perfectly manicured shrub while I was going home. My friends and I were in a little bit of awe about how well maintained it was (we lived a pretty sheltered existence, ok). In fact we loved it so much we named it Bubushka. Of course you have that one friend who is a little shit who thought it would be a good idea one day to run and jump on Bubushka to make it….a little less well maintained. That friend was me. So I ran up and jumped on the shrub (or maybe it was a bush i dunno) and instead of bouncing off the top of it I fell straight through. So, uh, Bubushka had a hole. And thus holeybubushka was born.  
Do you have any other blogs: Nope. I only started updating this one once I starting getting active in the UD fandom.
What did your last relationship teach you:The one I am currently in taught me to be more introspective, especially about my own feelings. And don’t hold a grudge otherwise you might miss out on something amazing. I guess the one before this one taught me the value of compromise.
Religious or Spiritual: I am agnostic and I grapple with this question a lot. Not sure where I stand quite yet.
Favorite color: Very dark red. Only cause it looks good on me. In terms of visuals I like dark blue.
Average hours of sleep:6-8. I can function pretty well if I get over 7 hours. If I get 4-6 I am basically a cranky zombie.
Lucky number: I don’t have one. I like the number 12 I guess.
Favorite characters: Everyone from UD except maybe Mike and Josh. Josh is mostly a fandom thing cause I hate how everyone gives him a pass for the horrible stuff he does but excoriate Ashley who behaves like a normal human being when confronted with trauma. Beth is my favourite gay little badass despite only being in the game for one hot second. Outside of UD I’ve always liked the goofy, funny characters so Xander from Buffy is possibly my all time favourite. I liked Shaw from Person of Interest and Omar from the Wire. I know she is kinda annoying but I have always felt protective of April from Greys Anatomy. Emily and Chris from Skins. Sansa from Game of Thrones. Probably others well that I am forgetting.
How many blankets do you sleep with: I like just sleeping with one giant doona in winter. Usually I sleep with one of two though since where I live it doesn’t actually get cold.
Dream job: Being an actual reporter getting to file stuff. Probably in radio. My current job is good and I’m in the industry which is great considering how many journos are out of a job but still. Gotta keep striving.
Tag 20 people?  I don’t know that many I kinda stick to a small amount of people then bother them incessantly #cough# @cochisehartley @sammygiddings and @sammythepsycho. So I’ll tag my good buddy @gratuitousitalics , although I don’t think these types of questionnaires are her kinda jam. @mynxwrites is one of my earliest and favourite Sath writers. Also @distilledsarcasm and @makkapitew.  Also also also @banhmiboy whose art I LOVE and who sometimes draws Sath, my favourite pairing. Although I want to hear from ANYONE who ships femmeslash in the UD fandom. We have to stick together, guys.
