About Me

[silverink]

Hello, I'm SilverInk! Welcome to my journal!

I'm a fan and fic writer of many different fandoms, most of them very small and obscure — you can find my AO3 here. I'm doing a lot more original writing lately, too! I post a lot of fandom and writing related content on here as well as some personal stuff, which is sometimes friends only. I'm hoping to post more on here in the new year, and I want to post more about books I'm reading for fun or for school.

I'm 25 years old and just graduated from a college certificate program, and I'm now searching for my first Real Adult Job. I enjoy being creative through writing, baking, and sewing!

You can feel free to treat the comments on this post as a general Tumblr ask box and ask me whatever you want to know, or maybe send me writing prompts! Please introduce yourself if you feel like it! 

My Fandoms:
- The Old Guard
- Rosemary Sutcliff novels, esp. The Eagle of the Ninth and Frontier Wolf
- Turn: Washington's Spies (kind of - sadly I only found the show in 2021 after it had been over for 4 years :'( )
- The Mummy
- Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries
- S <3

>>I'm doing a lot more original writing lately, too! <<

Go you!

>>I'm hoping to post more on here in the new year, and I want to post more about books I'm reading for fun or for school.<<

Consider recurring posts for that.

>> I am a 23 year old college student majoring in Classical Studies and History, and I'm going to graduate in May 2022. <<

That sounds cool.

>> I also love languages and I speak Spanish and Arabic (not fluently though), <<

Check your DVDs. Almost all of them should have a Spanish track, since it's a world language. Some might have Arabic, I've seen way more obscure options on there. Watching a movie you already know in a new language helps your brain make connections with the words.

Thank you! :D

Ooh yeah I've been trying to do weekly "what I've been reading/watching" posts, but haven't been the best at sticking to it. Your post has some great ideas in it tho and I really want to try some of them out, they look fun!!

I'd definitely like to improve my language skills tbh, and I like the idea of watching a movie I already know in a new language! I also think finding movies in a different language and putting on English subtitles is helpful too.

Hope you have a great day!!

I'd never keep track of my recurring posts without a desktop calendar.

Yeah, I really like subtitles. They help me follow along.

Hope you have a great day!!
