Silly little thing I made the other week when I was stuck in hospital while I was feeling up to making things. It's litterally just me complaining cuz I was feeling pretty fed up lol. I have been almost entirely in hospital for over a month now with a only few days off. Back home after round 2 of chemo though and hoping not to have a repeat of The Infection I made this about! lol
[ID: A series of images of a small handmade zine held together with washi tape.
Image 1 - The cover, titled "THE HOSPITAL" in big blue all caps. There's some bright pink lines shooting out for emphasis, and little doodles of plasters, pills and a syringe coloured in bright orange.
Image 2 - Page 1 and 2. "I have been in hospital for 5 1/2 days and it has thoroughly SUCKED. I only just got out from 2 1/2 weeks unplanned hospital time and was supposed to have to weeks mostly at home but nope!" In big yellow all caps is written "2 DAYS" with spikey emphasis lines. "I have been in a wonderful variety of pains, experienced many lovely symptoms, and have been bombarded with people and occurences." Written with hearts and pink flowers around it is "Thank You Neutropenia!" Followed by a doodle of a simple person giving a big thumbs up from a hospital bed with a smile and bags under their eyes.
Image 3 - Page 3 and 4. "I'm doing chemo for lymphoma, and the plan was to cut and dye my hair with my siblings like this" an arrow points to a drawing of a bright green mullet haircut with bright pink buzzed sides. There's a bright yellow zigzag shape around it. "Or this" another arrow points to a drawing of a longer bright green mullet with dark green roots. There's a bright yellow zigzag shape behind it. "asap BEFORE my hair started falling out, then when it did I'd buzz it, look like-"
Image 4 - Page 5 and 6. "-a mouldy potato for a bit, then be bald until it grows back after treatment." There's a doodle of a potato with green mould and a little smiley face, and one of a shiney orange egg with wide eyes. Then in big purple caps is written "BUT INFECTION STRUCK" "after my first pass at a haircut. I went to bed, ready to finish it the next day, then BAM! Hospitaled." The word bam has a green spikey shape around it and there's a doodle of an ambulance. "Didn't even get to wash it, so it's been GREASY until today. And now it's falling out." There's another doodle of a hand holding a clump of hair.
Image 5 - Page 7 and 8. "But that brings me to today. The other day, they switched me to a new antibiotic, and last night and today I've been feeling almost normal apart from some little side effects. I'm doing really well compared to how I was. They're saying I might get home tomorrow and I" in big yelloW all caps taking up the next page "REALLY FUCKING HOPE SO!" With lots of green zigzags.
Image 6 - Page 9 and 10. A doodle of a simple figure backed by shadow, with wide, blank, shadowed eyes hunched over the word "UPDATE" written in big purple caps with a shadow underneath. "I did escape. For long enough to have my dinner, then STRAIGHT back into hospital with a high temp. Not neutropenic this time though. Been in about a day 1/2. Hoping to go home later today." a pink squiggle between the pages, then yellow caps saying "UPDATE 2" "I AM HOME!! I have lit candles. I am chilling. I got mcdonalds on the way home :) There's stuff I need to do, but that's for later. Just gonna enjoy the peace while it lasts. AND THUS ENDS THE HOSPITAL ZINE!" There's a little doodle of a couple of green candles and one of a burger and fries.
Image 7 - The back cover. There's a little orange plaster doodle in the corner, and at the bottom it says "Made in Hospital* *mostly" End ID]

for the fic writer ask meme!!! ⏱️, 🤡, and of course🏅
oooooooo thank u friend 👀
⏱ What’s the fic you spent the most time on? (Was it worth it lol)
this is really hard for me to answer 🤔🤔 my writing can get really sporadic, and sometimes I'll ditch a WIP for months on end before circling back to it lol. of my posted stuff, just going by time from the doc being started to it being finished, probably by dawn's early light? written for the BNHA myths zine (*high fives u sadly*), but I wrote like the first third of it a week or two after writers were accepted to the zine, and then when the mods never followed up on shit, it just chilled in my drafts folder until after that mess with the hallowzine broke out and those mods finally started chasing down submissions 😂😂
but if we're going to go by time actually spent on writing something, probably either come here. just by nature of it being multi-chaptered or the patpran old guard AU (i've rewritten that thing so many times aaaaa, may i actually have it ready to post one day lol)
(all of these were worth it tho. by dawn's early light is one of my most ignored stories, but i'm still super pleased with how it came out. and once i get the final chapter of come here./the last scene of the old guard AU done, i'm going to be so excited to post both of those, partially because they're taking me a long time to get where i want them to be)
🤡 What’s the dumbest thing you’ve written?
oh god, im a crack writer, would you like the list alphabetically???
100% the Dumbest Thing i've ever written is a like button love story. like, you know how in facebook messenger, you could make the like buttons RLY BIG if you held down the button? a friend and i would play goofy games with those things, and then i wrote a joke love story between the two buttons. and i think i did actually post that here on a dare, except it was ...2015??? i think???? and i wasn't good about tagging things back then, so i cant find it, which is a shame because that was a gold standard story ngl
now, other stupid shit i've written includes:
3 nursery rhymes for the bald giyuu pdf (a silly free bonus pdf to the giyushino zine):
(art & formatting for both done by @/inigoats)
i wrote a nearly 9k fic of the vld team fighting over pineapple pizza. here's chat noir successfully hooking up marinette with ladybug (aka herself). hawkmoth fights butterflies in this one.
honestly, there's a lot more i can link, but i'm starting to get embarrassed lol. i really wish i could pick a single crack fic to be like "here, this one, this is the dumbest thing i've written" but...i honestly can't pick which ones of these is the dumbest thing i've written. they're all so stupid but in different directions. This even went for back when I was still doodling: here's Cinderella!Darth Vader, here's insurance guy Palpatine getting thrown thru a wall, and here's Obi-wan fighting the galaxy with a pool noodle. i'll spare u the others but...yeah, crack is my lifeblood my friend 😂💦💦
🏅 What is the fic you’re most proud of?
Shining Dishonesty! (a Howl's Moving Castle AU for MSBY from Haikyuu!!) I have a lot of fics I'm really fond of, but I think I really managed to nail her and Studio Ghibli's storytelling vibes in it without retelling either of their stories, and that just means a lot to me as a longtime DWJ fan 🥰
send me a fic ask
