It’s so funny reading about queer male classic authors bc it seems like every single one of them-across continents even- knew each other by name. Like you’ll look up Bram Stoker or some shit and Wikipedia.org will say “had several orgies with Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman, hung out with Alaina Locke in spare time to shit talk F. Scott. Fitzgerald” and you have to say well okie dokie then

#for legal reasons he didn’t have several orgies with those men #but he did have fat crushes on them #like I know queer communities were tight knit but goddamn #we’re they ALL penpals???? #classics #classic literature #classic lit memes #bram stoker #dracula #f scott fitzgerald #the great gatsby #oscar wilde #walt whitman #Alain Locke #queer #queer community #mlm #gay

Hello lolita/EGL fashion tumblr! Do you want to have a lolita penpal?

Please fill out the following Google form!

LINK TO PENPAL FORM

I will also be sharing this form on Instagram. Feel free to reblog/post this form around on lolita fashion circles and tell your lolita/EGL friends!

Penpal assignments and contact information will be sent out by December 31. Please send your first letters out by January 31. Please make sure that your DM’s are open so I can send you contact info!

“I want to join but I don’t know what to write about!”

No worries! Here are some suggestions:

-tell your penpal about how your week has been, and your future plans. Are you working on any creative projects? Do you have pets? Are you celebrating a holiday soon? Make sure to respond to your penpal’s previous letter, and give them some questions or conversation starters to respond to as well.

-swap suggestions for books, movies, music, TV shows, or other media you both like. You can agree to read/watch the same thing and exchange thoughts on it! (If you both like cooking or baking, exchange recipes, musicians can exchange sheet music, etc)

-write a story or draw/color a picture together.

-swap ideas for meetups or coords. What are your dream dresses? What got you into lolita fashion? (You can even try remote twinning!)

-if you both are interested in secret codes or learning a foreign language, you can exchange codes, vocab words, or try writing letters in a different language!

Other things to put in letters:

You can decorate letters with drawings, stickers, washi tape, wax seals, etc. and include things like more stickers/tape, ribbons/lace, your art/short stories/fiber arts, pressed flowers, recipes, tea bags, friendship bracelets, bookmarks, seed packets, news articles, origami, temporary tattoos, crosswords/sudoku puzzles, pins, candy, photographs, and more! You can also send postcards from places you visit.

Please note that things like pressed flowers or seed packets should not be sent internationally. Please check if your penpal has any allergies before sending any plants or edible items.

I am launching a kickstarter for in late March called “Dear Penpal, Belgium 1980.” It is a cozy, Middle Grade appropriate, ghost story, loosely based on fictionalized me at ten years old while living in a 300-year-old manor house in Belgium. The story will be told through 24 physical letters (already written) over a one-year period. This is the kind of odd project I could never sell traditionally, so I’m rolling up my sleeves and doing it myself.

I really want for my birthday and Christmas this year. Sign up to be notified about it here:  https://bit.ly/dear_penpal

Hey friends! I am doing a super special cover reveal and I could use your help!

I’m sending out a bunch of letters from my main character of my novel With Love, Juniper and I would love if the reading and writing community could help me share it with the world!

With Love, Juniper is a book about a young witch trying to navigate complicated social anxiety issues, learning to live and accept herself the way her loved ones do.

Im sending out handwritten letters, a print of the cover, an additional art print and some stickers all for FREE. All you have to do is fill out this form and I will tend it to you when it’s ready to go!

I’d so appreciate if you can share this post or comment to help it find people who would be interested! If you have any questions, just let me know!

Tagging the list :)

I miss writing letters. I miss the correspondence. Anyone want to trade addresses and write some letters to one another?

Feel free to message me if you're legitimately interested 😊

AUGFHUHG I've gotten back into watching pen-pal videos on yt and it makes me want selfship penpals SO BADD 🥲 like it would be so fun printing out pics of a friend's f/o to decorate the letter and envelope! sending each other drawings or fics of each others ship!! trading random stationery-- but even better, I'd make them photocards and stickers of their f/os!!! and we could do a QnA back and forth with a few questions in each letter to learn more about each other's selfship, with random questions like the kinds in ask games and whatnot🧍‍♀️

(srsly if any mutuals already do something like this or would ever want to start like a selfship penpal circle... HIIIII I promise I would be a good penpal 😭) (HUGE /nf on all of this btw skhekdnkdb I just love the idea and wanted to share 🫶🏻)

#like I CANT JOIN THE YOUTUBE KPOP PENPAL CIRCLE BECAUSE I BARELY LISTEN TO KPOP 😭😭 #this community would be so perfect for penpal-ing though like just think of all the opportunities for sending f/o-related goodies #but also i understand if no one would ever want to do this bc like. adresses and whatnot ksjjdksjks #BUT moots if youd ever be interested in trading letters with some handmade deco of ur f/o and whatnot #dont be afraid to reach out :') #caitiechat

My pen pal kits are up in my shop now! I created these with all ages in mind, however this one is my favorite since I love anime <3! Each kit comes with stickers, postcards, a blank greeting card to decorate, washi sample, and a letter with educational (or fun!) facts and questions you can ask your pen pal or friend. I just hope one day these will take off, I haven't had any sales yet! - I love the Luna wax seal stamp I found too. (thepenpalpress.com)

UNCONVENTIONAL GIFT IDEAS

(for Valentine’s Day)

Valentine’s Day is coming up! Looking for thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift ideas? Here are a few:

1. Personalized Fanfic

♡ Does your partner, or your best friend, have an OC x Canon ship they’ve been babbling at you about? Why not give them the gift of a oneshot? It’s a perfect gift! Not easily replicated!

2. Handmade Crochet Plushie or Doll

♡ Who DOESN’T love plushies? Especially ones made with extra care and love? Great news! They’re fully customizable, too! You have full control over all design choices! You could even create a tiny doll clothes wardrobe based on your Valentine’s fashion tastes!

3. Letter From Their Comfort Character

♡ Is there a character your Valentine just can not get enough of? Maybe they’re a little obscure, or it’s difficult to find anything related out there to gift to them. Not to worry! A personal, heartfelt letter straight from that character is a gift not many would think to give. An unforgettable present!

Here at Red String Letters, we offer all of the above! For more info, check out our LinkTree!

Today marks 10 years since I first really stepped into the Eddsworld fandom and went through an event with it.

But it also happened to be first anniversary of its creator's passing. This year marks the 10th.

I figured 13 year old me wouldn't want to feel alone in that moment, so I made this to join her and go through the flow together.

Without Edd and Eddsworld, I don't think I would've had that accessible foundation, can-do mindset and enthusiastic influence, admiration and desire to animate and make stories of my own. I was a year too late when I first entered into the fandom and heard about it, but these past 10 years taught me it's never too late to make an impact and tell your tales - no matter how long they'll take.

Thank you Edd Gould. For everything.

#chris rambles #my creations #i sobbed a lot while making this and dealing with CSP crashing a few times during progress #long post #Edd Gould really did say to a friend that last set of green lines if you hit the readmore #it doesn't feel right to tag the fandom this time #EDIT: okay so i've got myself to cry a little more and put myself together #and boy howdy i understand now what it means when an emotional overload impedes your communication #(is annoyed at spelling+grammar mistakes in-comic and description but no i'm not gonna change it) #my god this fandom had both the best of times and worst of times - moreso fandom troubles than personal but still #fun fact: i got to meet a good bunch of the EWFM crew back in the day through the years and some are still good friends of mine #(this is when things were FINE and NOT WEIRD i'm talking early-mid 2010's here people) #some are moreso acquaintances and most just drifted away (that's fair!) #only one of them i know for a fact either one of us would take a bullet for the other (and if you're curious he was a lead role VA) #(won't say who for privacy but listen. A. if you're reading this: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I AM SO GLAD WE ARE FRIENDS) #yeah the friendship goes that deep and he makes me happy to say that I'm his friend #(he's also the only one of all the online friends i've mailed and penpaled to - who has sent stuff back. Nobody else but him.) #i need to chill now my goodness #there's so much ahead of me now bc of what my time in Eddsworld gave and I'm so so grateful <3

heyo everyone, i need your help!

for my senior thesis course, i have created a survey for young adults ages 18-25 to fill out and talk about their experiences with social media, mental/emotional health, and also letter writing. if you are able to take 10-15 minutes to fill it out it would be super appreciated (reblogging is great too)!

thanks for reading!
