I have decided I want to try and make my own costumes. Do I know how to sew? No. Have I ever tried anything like this before? Also no. Will that stop me? Hell no. How will it go? Well, we're about to find out. 😅 Now, my first costumes will be KPOP Demon Hunters. Huntrix and Soda Pop. My question is: What next? There are so many choices, and I have no idea what to make. 😅So, I want to know what you would make if you could. Any character, any genre, any type. The only one I won't make is erotic. Nothing against it. Just not for me. With that said, what are your choices? What costumes should I make? Leave a comment with your ideas. 😊

This is a poem I wrote about my mental health, and how it is hard to make it out of bed some days. Most days. I know I am not alone in feeling this way, and I want to let others know they are not alone either. If you feel or have ever felt this way, I understand, and I'm sorry. I am here if you want to talk. A Day Come and Gone by C.M. Townsend. I open my eyes and stare, but the wall does not speak. Silent and unmoving, stoic, inanimate. Time passes, but there I lay, fixed on the flattened plaster ahead. At last, my gaze flickers, and I observe a new item of fixation–the window. Why, I do not know, but I cannot look away. I linger unable to sway that which holds my gaze. It is but a simple frame. What caught my sight remains unknown. Yet still I stay. I stare. A shift is felt, my body moves– but wait. Only a foot,  mere inches from the start. It is late. I should stand, see out the day that rolls on alone, leaving me behind as I stay, eyes fixed on the roof above. I blink, and an h...

Mental health is not gendered. Gender does not define how a person feels. There are many problems in our world, and one of them is mental health. Another is the way in which every little things is gendered by so many people. Clothing. Toys. Words. Objects. Furniture. Jobs. Hobbies. Sports. Gym equipment. Food . . . Why? Why does everything seemingly need to be categorised by gender? Men vs women. Women vs men. Non-binary and trans people facing discrimination . . . I am tired of all the hate. There is no such thing as a 'girl or boy toy'. There is no job 'for girls' or 'for boys'. Objects do not have a gender, nor do hobbies, sports, or furniture. Gym equipment is for everyone. People need to stop applying gender to every single thing that exists. Stop worrying about other people's gender, enjoy your life, and let others enjoy theirs in peace. There needs to be an understanding that attributing femininity and masculinity to everything does not help anyone, n...

Imagine a world where there is only one story. Rather, a world in which there are thousands and thousands of stories, as there are now . . . Only they are the exact same story. No difference. No deviation. No individuality. Nothing new at all. Just one story on constant repeat. Buying endless copies of the exact same book . . . Pointless, right? Now, compare that to those who tell people what they 'should' or 'should not' be writing. It is the same concept as expecting only one story to be told a million times over, and every copy bought on repeat. Diverse storylines and ideas are what breathe life into a story. Without the heart and soul, all you have is a page with words on it. You lose what makes it worth reading. The life that beats within. Let people write what they want to write. It makes for a much more interesting world of storytelling.
