Sugar High

There was a prompt on @theresonly1u fest for “Thomas Bordeleau/Tristen Robins - watermelon” and I immediately thought of the transgirl Thom fic that Ko and Sierra have been teasing for months and NOT posting. Made my OWN transgirl Thom narrative while I wait impatiently for them to drop the bass…except then went to check with Ko that it was them or Sierra who posted the prompt and it wasn’t either of them. I was like, well I’m not posting transgirl Thom in full view of someone who might not have the gift of sight. So I’m posting it here instead! Playlist + cover + lyrics under the cut.

(i bring a real "everything on one layer so i cannot redraw easily if i decide i don't like something" vibe to procreate that many artists do not enjoy)

✨☀️✨

betterman - Virginia to Vegas

I want to be a better me / a better man / a better lover, better brother, better friend / Put myself back together again ‘cause I still got a couple of sins / And I got pretty lucky, made a whole bunch of money but I don’t feel any better yet / So I’m trying to do the best I can / to be better me / a better man.

Spaceship - Kesha

I know from the start I don’t belong in these parts / There’s too much hate, there’s too much hurt for this heart / Lord knows this planet feels like a hopeless place / Thank God I’m going back to outerspace.

Straight Jacket - Bay Ledges

I try but I never get past it / Fake smile and I want to unmask it / Got me tied up / Unwrap this straight jacket / straight jacket / Everybody knows.

Radical - AWOLNATION (feat. GROUPLOVE)

I’m not a rebel or a king / Not sure they’ve got a name for me / Since we all die eventually / Tonight, I’m a radical.

Take Me Home (Folktales) - BUNT. (feat Alexander Tidebrink)

I’m never coming back to the place I once knew / If I do, I’m gonna drown in the blue / Said I’m never coming back to the lies and the rules / if I do, I’ll put all faith in you / Take me home / Home / Home, my love.

SUPERBLOOM (stripped) - MisterWives [live from the bloom version]

Resilient little thing, just like mama raised you / Wildflower in the spring, they can’t contain you / through the cracks you break through.

Shut Off The Lights - Bastille

No talk of the future now / Dark thoughts / You’re shaking ‘em, taking ‘em out / This rhythm we create sets me straight.

Tender - Blur

Tender is the night, lying by your side / Tender is the touch of someone that you love too much / Tender is the day the demons go away / Lord, I need to find someone who can heal my mind.

Love Is Mystical - Cold War Kids [Los Feliz Blvd version]

Living life with no need for the breaks / Something happens when I lean on my mistakes / If the words are true and the words reveal the same / I come alive when I don’t even think / Love is mystical / Love will break the chains / You might be invincible and you might be afraid.

Seventeen - Sjowgren

If you want a second to breathe / Give you all of my love, give you all need / Don’t worry, I’m not in a hurry / I’m not going nowhere / I’m not going nowhere.

Call If You Need Me - Vance Joy

Ask me to go faster, put my foot on the floor / Standing on the edge, I feel like I’ve been here before / Loved you in the darkness and I loved you in fluorescent lights / If it don’t feel right, babe / You can run and hide, babe.

Enjoy!

#i also bring a real ''making playlists about hockey players instead of doing therapy homework'' vibe that my therapist doesn't enjoy #tumblr brings a real ''the post editor is not suited for this kind of post and i wish this was livejournal'' vibe that EYE do not enjoy #i was tempted to editorialize but tumblr's new post editor is driving me crazy and i've accidentally deleted this entire post twice so #i'm yeeting this into the void and if you have questions you can send me an ask politely #unfortunate birdcage fanfictions #fresno oilers.txt

ask me anything

just gonna yeet another ama into the void so I can answer the questions of the like two friends who will see it and go :eyes: and throw questions at me. click here to send asks.

but in case you are not one of those two friends and are like, "I'd love to ask you some shit but idk you/idk enough about you to know what to ask," here's some shit to know

debut novel The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher is about an 83-year-old who leaves the nursing home for fantastical adventure when she learns she's the chosen one. she loves knitting and adopting all the young people in the book. also there are dragons. click here for more.

sophomore novel The Keeper of Lonely Spirits (2025) is about an old man cursed with immortality who sends troublesome spirits packing rather than making mortal friends who will die one day, but whoops his hand slips and now he cares about some folk. shit. what to do?? he's gonna try to gay I mean go. I'd say click here for more but there is no more because this book doesn't come out until 2025.

I also have several short stories published, mostly fantastical and bordering vaguely on horror. click here for more.
