Bio

Hey guys, call me Val or Ota, I’m non-binary. I haven’t been active on here in a long time, but then I was bored, looked at my recent bookmarks about Jack Frost and Pitch Black, said to myself, “I can’t believe I was so into that,” then proceeded to write over 500 pages about it.

A little about me: I have MDD, Borderline, and PTSD. I’m working hard on a book of original fiction and I write short stories, horror/comedy/romance. Go to therapy. If it sucks, get a new therapist. Repeat. Your brain is so fucking important.

My hobbies include not drinking laundry detergent even though it looks SO good when I’m dehydrated, talking to myself, flirting with the moon cause I mean look at it, antiquing with my mom, painting, shoes, trying to figure out if there’s something in my eye or if I’m imagining it, shoplifting, cleaning with toothbrushes and polishing silver, not having an indoor voice, tricking people into liking me and then ghosting them, always returning my shopping cart and tipping drive-thru employees because I worry about you people, never shutting the fuck up, straightening shelves at the store for leisure, board games, being gay, wearing black, typing this on my phone in bed bc I don’t want to go to bed, attracting wildlife, diamond painting, and having a 7ft tall man in my pinky to talk to strangers for me thanks to EMDR therapy. Wow, that is the most accurate description of me ever.

I am 100% for writing any kind of dangerous situation in a romanticized fashion as long as the story portrays it as harmful. My B.A. is in media. I know how these portrayals can affect the way people think and interact with the world. I will write anything for the sake of exploration and believe fiction is a way of exploring our feelings through extreme, but safely fictional scenarios…not a literal translation. I will never condone anything IRL that is not conducted in a safe, sane, and consensual manner. I will always include trigger warnings.
