Who I am: hey, I'm Jess, also known as Mlle Kurtz (pronounced 'mademoiselle curse', which is very funny written out like that) and TheKnittingJedi (pronounced 'I chose my AO3 nickname during my brief Star Wars hyperfixation'). My pronouns are they/them.

If you don't know where to start, my shadowgast fic playlists (as in themed lists of fics) is a good place if you're into a specific mood or topic.

Other stuff: I like compiling fic recs! Here you can find the ones I posted so far. I also craft in a number of mediums.

Sideblog: I enjoy taking artsy-fartsy screenshots of the video games I play, which I post in toussaint-touring-club.

Art: sometimes, I try. You can find it under the #my art tag.

a little illustration i did of one of the scenes in @mllekurtz's orufrey fic root bound, which you absolutely need to go read \o/ i'm not including the quote it's based on in the caption so as to tempt you further 😈

Btw, since I've seen lots of people praising the fic for its clever horticultural solution, so to speak, that it was specifically @zmeess's brilliant idea!

it’s ninety-nine degrees outside, four fuck-thousand percent humidity, and my husband was like, “i’m gonna go for a bike ride.” and i was like “why. no. why. don’t put us on the news like that. local fool collapses on unnecessary journey. don’t do it.” so he says he doesn’t want to “hide in the house” because the sun is shining. bruh. honeybruh. “the sun is shining” does not cover it. its hot outside. its motherfucking hot as fuck outside. our outdoor plants have been crying into their hands all week. whole cars are melting into the sewer. our fucking patio umbrella developed sentience to ask me for lemonade this morning

@robotmango, you need to work for the weather forecast - this was both hilarious and so vivid it made me stand up and get some iced tea.

this is a great idea, thank you. here goes. my audition tape for the weather channel. dearly beloved. we are gathered here today to have a fucking funeral for the outdoors. it had a good run, with all its creeks and clouds and shit. pretty great. now it’s ten-thirty at night but still ninety-two asshole-sweating degrees and humid as fuck. everything is hot and slimy, like being a “borrower” that got trapped inside a bottle of shampoo and then accidentally microwaved. you can see on my doppler radar that nothing is moving around out there because everything is probably dead. the only alive thing is the mosquito currently trying to drill a hole in my leg. no surprise that all the shitbag mosquitos are fine, since the thermostat of hell is always at the devil’s preferred temperature. this forecast has gotten away from me a little, but in conclusion fuck the sun

are these what the kids are calling *checks notes* magical girls?

Sometimes the best fic you’ve ever written isn’t on ao3. It’s in 50 frenetic discord messages sent over a fifteen minute span where you and your friend yes and each other into a perfect story that will never actually be written.
