Hello! This might be a little unconventional, but I am opening writing commissions for the extra cash to pay for my medicine and allowance for grad school! I'm sieges or questors (sieges) on AO3. You can learn more about my commissions in the images above or in my carrd page.
Alternatively, you can leave me a Ko-Fi if you want to support me and my writing. Please DM me if interested, and any reblogs on this post would be greatly appreciated!

Catherine Gildiner, Good Morning, Monster: Five Heroic Journeys to Emotional Recovery
“Someone who knew me well once accused me of being unromantic. And that’s probably true: I don’t trust romance. I am always reminded of A Midsummer Night’s Dream; I saw a production of the play as a child, and I think of Tatiana’s falling in love with an ass, which was all very romantic. I think that influenced my view that romance is false, that the thing we call romance is a diversion from something truer, which is life. Life has a truth to it, and it’s complicated—it’s love and it’s hatred. Love and hatred don’t take turns; they exist side by side at the same time. And one’s duty, one’s obligation every day, is to choose to follow the nobler one. And if the nobler one is something one can’t pursue, then the lesser, the ignoble one, is what is left. It’s there. It’s present. There are things that make us choose, on certain days, on certain nights, the opposite of love, in all its variations. But I want to acknowledge that with love and hate it’s not simply one or the other. It’s at least two, three, four, five different emotions existing at once, side by side, a broad spectrum of things alive.”
