  • they/them

tabletop rpg obsessed, particularly lancer, icon, cain, the treacherous turn, eclipse phase, and pathfinder 2e. also a fan of the elder scrolls and star wars, an avid gamer and reader of webcomics, and when my brain cooperates, a hobbyist writer.

 

the urge to share my creations versus the horrifying ordeal of being perceived. fight of the millennium. anyway posts about my ocs are tagged with "mal's ocs" (minus the quotes). posts about or containing my writing are tagged with "mal's writing" (again, sans quotes). posts about my sci-fi setting specifically are tagged "the eating of names". i'd pin the latter two if they were actually among my top 15 most used tags lol. fair warning, my writing tends to be quite dark and deal with some heavy themes.

 

avatar is a much more humanoid depiction of my OC Arwen Tachht than is strictly accurate, made in this Picrew. (I have humanoidsonas for my non-humanoid OCs because I cannot draw them myself and must rely on dollmakers and such, hooray chronic pain)

A driver walks into the dish pit, steaming. Man, that customer up front, he says. Walked funny, talked funny. Ordered an "Eks-Ell Hand-Tossed Build-Your-Own Pizza with no additional toppings" instead of an "extra large cheese". Didn't make eye contact during the whole ordeal. Said "thank you" after a little too long a pause, with a stunted little wave. At this last complaint, one of the men at the sink piped up, barely turning:

"Oh, that guy, with the hat, right? Yeah, I think he's autistic or something."

Instantly the first driver's face softened. You could see it in real time, how he was scrolling back through his memory, re-evaluating every moment. Somehow this one little word, one that didn't really supply any new information, changed everything.

"Yeah, I suppose."

That little word made another's differences no less intelligible, but more tenable.
