@xvz: I wanted to becoming an editor and a professional writer. The portfolio is for my poetry class. I have to curate twenty of the poems I wrote for this semester and give them to my professor. It shouldn't be that hard. I know which ones are her favorites and editing them should be simple. Just time consuming.

@Nephila: It does stink a little bit that I had to be taken off of them, but it'll eventually be for the best. And I do, but it hasn't been updated in ages and is basically filled with my MLP: FiM OCs from when I was into that cartoon.

@Totalanimefan: Not bad, actually. Since we're less than a week away from finals, most of my professors opted not to have our Zoom classes anymore, so it gives me more time to focus on actually studying up for finals and getting last minute assignments squared away. How about you?

@vivid fizz: oh cool! what's your poetry about, do you have certain styles or influences you like more? would you consider printing them into a chapbook or anything

i used to do some poetry and fiction writing but i think i don't quite have it as a regular / natural habit, i'd love to be doing more though!

@Totalanimefan: Yeah. I'm lucky because I usually do really well on my finals. The only one I'm a bit worried about is my Spanish 3 final.


@xvz: I'm not a great poet but it was one of the few creative writing courses offered for this semester, so I took it to keep on track. I sort of pick random things to write about when it comes to poetry.

@Totalanimefan: Spanish is my worst subject to boot. Which is a shame since it's such a beautiful language.


@xvz: Steven King, Margaret Atwood, and G.R.R. Martin


@Nephila: I really dig Steven Universe and the new She-Ra. I used to be into Star vs the Forces of Evil but the last season left me a bit cold.

@Nephila: Tiddy is never, ever a deal breaker for me and I love darker themes in my media, too. I absolutely adore Castlevania on Netflix. The cartoons recently have been excellent, although I still do like some live action shows. Stranger Things and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina are two of my favorites.

@Totalanimefan: It can be difficult to learn if you're not inclined to languages, yeah. There are a lot of words and ideas that translate well into English, but most of the time there isn't a direct mirror. It makes it hard when my English major brain wants to take over.

@Totalanimefan: The verb conjugations are, by far, are the hardest for me to understand and wrap my mind around. Mostly because there are so many and they all tie in with different scenarios- like past, present, and future and also past, present, and future but with the idea of 'she wanted to', 'she did do', 'she would have done' instead. Not that English is any better with its grammatical rules... in fact, it's worse. English is a dirty bastard thief language that's slapped together with paper clips and chewed bubblegum.

@Totalanimefan: It's impressive you learned some Japanese! I'm struggling with a language that shares a common core with my native tongue, and it's still a pain in the booty.

@Totalanimefan: I probably aced it. The amount of revision I did to those poems was ridiculous and my work is shown through every single revision. So much so that the portfolio ended up being twenty-five pages long for fifteen poems. And sweet, sweet freedom from that class! I still have a five page paper to write for Core Texts and both my Spanish and Sociology exams to get through.

@Totalanimefan: Once all the exams are finished, I'm probably going to give myself a few days to center and do some cleaning. This place needs a good scrub. I'm not sure what I'm going to do after until next semester starts. Probably jump face first into RP and slowly accumulate the books I need for spring semester.
