Intro I guess.
Hi, I’m Coral. Resident autistic nerd that learns whatever just to understand the logic behind things.
My mind is sort of all over the place but I used to write a decent bit of social commentary, plan to do that again.
I’m a big fan of literature and storytelling in general.

I’m excited to see Black Wolves Saga getting a port to modern consoles. But it’s like Rejet really just had to drop their “secretly a retelling of Orwell’s Animal Farm” dating game now with the current state of everything political. Well, time to replay the original game and get depressed.

I am not beating the Spencer Reid allegations today, friends. Hello, people with degrees, it is me again and yes, I still have those academic journals I’ve been reading.

Well, I am gonna start a new tumblr account to write my political and social essays. Or should I use a Substack and have all the pieces free? Anyone got any input?

Been looking back and studying my old writing and had the uncomfortable realization that my writing style and themes is like if Dazai Osamu, Anne Rice, Sylvia Plath, and Raymond Carver’s writing was put into a blender. Explains why my fluff romance ends up being really existential and psychological.

Working on #writing my short story—my friends have peer pressured me into submitting a piece to a prestigious magazine—and like I’m not sure if I am getting too far in the weeds with my utilization of Chinese Numerology in scenes for symbolism.

I want to write, I got that short story staring me down right now since I found all my notes, now my body is just tense cause ✨trigger✨. I want to at least finish a short story a month at least but I’m not sure if I’m gonna finish this one in the next few days.

It’s funny to say, but this passage in chap 1 of Legend of the Galactic Heroes by Yoshiki Tanaka, space opera that is a political theory crash course I read as a teen, shaped how I see the rise of politicians like Trump. Besides populism, I think people wanted easy change without the work.
![The boy watched videos, read e-copies of old books, and loved listening to reminiscences about the past, but in particular, he held a deep interest in "the most wicked usurper in all of history," Rudolf.
Because Yang Wen-li was in the Free Planets Alliance, Rudolf was naturally made out to be the very incarnation of evil, but in listening to what people said about him, the boy had begun to have his doubts. If Rudolf had really been such a villain, he wondered, then why had people supported him and given him power?
[…] He answered his son's inquiry in this way:
"Because the people wanted to have it easy."
"Have it easy?"
"Exactly. They didn't want to solve their own problems by their own effort. They were all waiting for some saint or superman to show up from somewhere and shoulder all their troubles by himself. And that's what Rudolf took advantage of. Listen. I want you to remember this; it's the ones who empower a dictator who deserve most of the blame. But the ones who don't support him actively— who watch it happening without saying anything-they're just as much to blame.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7zpjmzw7r5sazi3l3v7shd3d/bafkreibbe2rmseee466rnz5a2trsqxzs4m4kj24wt77ukdim4khrnsfzda@jpeg)

Books I’m reading right now, would be fun to compare with others
1. Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Dawn by Yoshiki Tanaka - Love it, rereading for 5th time, would recommend to anyone
2. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski - As someone who writes sort of post modern, it’s an enlightening read

Given current political things happening, on all levels, I feel like sharing a piece I wrote on a video game, yes TWEWY, when I was 16 that talks about some of the things happening at least on the individual level that caused it.

I should compile a list of books I’m reading right now, cause it’s long and I can’t remember all of them off the top of my head. Plus doing a comparison with others could be fun.

One of the things about being a writer that needs to sound board things off with people is the fact I have to scroll through months of groups chats to find my notes for a short story I’m working on. I really need to remember to copy down my own records so I don’t have this hassle.

One of the things that sort of depressing as I was looking at my autism diagnosis paperwork, from when I was 5, is how I never realized I was being made fun of at that age. ‘Cause when I got older I started to realize some of it, but for a lot of it I was oblivious in the moment. Just feels weird.

Fandom piece spun out of control. Turned somewhat academic. Finally figured out how to use DOI. I’m tired.

*stares at screen* the reason IWTV is my mom’s favorite show is because she sees our family in it and highly relates to Armand, well, that explains a lot of things about me.

Okay, quick question I need answered soon, so throwing this to #fannibal peeps
Do you think Will Graham struggles with alexithymia? Defined as Wikipedia, it is “characterized by significant challenges in recognizing, expressing, feeling, sourcing, and describing one's emotions.”

One of the worst things about being young and struggling with chronic pain, especially when it’s life long, is how easily it gets dismissed. I never knew the pain I experienced wasn’t normal and when I—as a kid—told my always-in-pain dad, he said I was looking for attention and to get over it.

I think one of my worst final experiences in my life was where the final was breaking into the instructor’s house. It was a history class.
