What inspired your most recent fic?
The character came to me first, I think? The idea of explore gender-queer-ness in a/b/o setting starts with me writing bystander effect. And I always wanted to go further than that. Omegaverse is an interesting concept, especially with relation to the ideology of gender. A lot of times we see things better when it’s taken out of the norm we’ve been used to, and I aspired to do that with my story. Hope you like the fic!
What’s your field of study? I love seeing folks thrive in academia outside of fandom/writing <3
what's your opinion on nihilism?
Alright I really didn’t expect this question 😶 Let me do a quick disclosure first: I’m a stem student and have very limited knowledge of philosophy besides a couple books from Camus and Sartre. I’m only capable of sharing my own understanding and opinions within these limitations, and I’m opening up the space for anyone’s experience and expertise in this field.
And going back to nihilism itself: I actually recommend everyone to watch a movie called ‘a ghost story’, which seems be the inspiration for skiddles music video ‘Ex’. I feel like this movie gives a comprehensive over the idea of live and death and beyond in a way that’s somewhat easy to understand. Nihilism can be interpreted in different ways; you can use that theory to think that nothing matters after all, and you can also use that theory to strengthen your mind thinking that ‘because nothing matters I now have all the freedom to do anything I want’. It’s an interesting topic and I’d also love to see what others might think of it!
Cauliflower or broccoli?
Oh this is hard cuz I’m not a huge fan of either one… I mean I can force myself to eat both if necessary but my preference probably goes to cauliflower for now? Okay back story: when I was in undergrad I accidentally made a salad at the school dining hall with raw broccoli, and that hell of a taste has traumatized me since then. So in short, yes, cauliflower (preferably cooked and cooked in a somewhat tasty way)
