someone stands atop a hill with arms spread against a backdrop of pink and purple clouds and a blue sky. birds fly around him.

we talk so much of light, please let me speak on behalf of the good dark. let us talk more of how dark the beginning of a day is.— maggie smith

PORTFOLIO

writing

i tend to write angst, but all my stories have happy endings because i think i deserve to write them. i also dabble in poetry, some of which i’ve published in a chapbook! i’ve linked it below in the wordpress icon.

translation

i translate chinese media such as dramas, poetry, and songs as one half of ruizheling! our notion page is currently the most up-to-date, as the dramas we’re subtitling are only hosted there as of now.

Who am I? I’m just a writer. I write things down. / I walk through your dreams and invent the future. Sure, / I sink the boat of love, but that comes later. And yes, I swallow / glass, but that comes later.— richard siken
