The official term archive of @marinemuses. Every time I coin a term, it will get reblogged here with a Wayback Machine link to perserve it in the event the original post somehow gets deleted.

about me

i go by river and dean, either works, and i use both hy/hym and he/him pronouns.

gender is weird, but i generally label myself as transmasc and bigender.

my sexuality is weird, too. i generally label it as bi, ace-spec and polyamorous. i don't really think i'm capable of experiencing attraction that isn't inherently queer. men, women, everyone in between and outside of that- it all feels distinctly gay for me because my gender is pretty multi-faceted lmao.

main fandom you'll see here is supernatural at the moment. though you will also see appearances from detroit become human, the maze runner, the last of us, life is strange and stranger things, along with a handful of others. the last of us is one of my special interests so that will be a constant fandom.

my current favorite/comfort characters are dean winchester, andy gallagher, newt (the maze runner), steve harrington, nancy wheeler, kali prasad, ellie williams and abby anderson. my current favorite ships are listed in my about and navigation page if you want to check that out.

i write sometimes. mostly ship fics, though i will occasionally write reader insert fics of certain characters i really like. the only caveat to this is that i will almost always write neutral and masc/male reader inserts. there is a criminal lack of masc/male reader content and i'm tired of waiting for people to come around to writing it for me. sorry fem reader insert enjoyers, but you have a lot of content already. let me fill the gaps. the only fem reader fics i'm interested in writing are for my favorite lesbian characters.

i take writing requests in theory, but i can't guarantee i'll get your request out to you in any specific timeframe, or at all. sometimes my brain just doesn't want to write the thing. feel free to send an ask for one, i'll let you know in a timely manner if i feel like i can't fulfill the request for any reason.

if you want, you can follow my general blog @marinemuses. i post stuff related to paganism and sometimes coin queer terms.

before you follow

racists, xenophobes, zionists, nazis, etc. blocked on sight.

uteruses have no place in the hands of our politicians.

queer people should be allowed to identify as, dress, and exist however makes them feel most comfortable. and it isn't their job to water down their identity just because it confuses you specifically. let people have complicated relationships with their identity. let people have 'mismatching' labels. mind your business. they aren't making the community 'look bad', you are.

i love multi-shipping, and i hate shipping wars. they're so annoying. some ships may not be my cup of tea, but i'm glad other people like them. same goes for character wars/character bashing. don't follow me if you're just going to complain about my interests not aligning with yours.

if you rabidly hate on female characters and ships including them, i automatically do not like you.

i really don't give a fuck what kind of fanfiction people are writing or reading. if i don't like it, i don't personally engage. i hate shipping discourse.

you should be able to gather my general stances on things based on the things listed above, but i'll add to this later if i have to.

i ask that minors don't follow me and avoid interaction in general. i'm twenty four and like to post about not safe for work topics sometimes. in general it just makes me uncomfortable.

“Leadership is not about title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence, inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.” - Robin S. Sharma . Being promoted to the rank of Master Sergeant does not mean that I’ve arrived nor does it mean that I know everything. Sure it comes with it’s privileges, but more important are the responsibilities. Now, more than ever is the pivotal time to empower the Marines I work with and to keep learning from them to better the Marine music program. . A big thank you to my good friend, a peer and a mentor @_avts_ (Alex Santos) for coming to my promotion ceremony. Let’s keep inspiring brother! . #mbsd #marinemusic #leadership #marines (at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQ01z0Fg4y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nzgkezz5kstw

Great to interact and have a conversation with Jens Lindemann (trumpet professor and former member of the Canadian Brass, @uclaband / @canadianbrass ). Also get to share it with some good Marine musicians I work with daily. Long day for us but worth it. . . #marinecorpsbirthday #veteransday #marinebandsandiego #marinemusic #marinemusician #brassquintet # (at Coronado Navy Base) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp_OIHrFWn_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ihc3r7vfy6r3

“On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of the Continental Congress. Since that date many thousands of men have borne the name Marine. In memory of them it is fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the Birthday of our Corps by calling to mind the glories of its long and illustrious history.” . Passing of the cake from the oldest and to the youngest Marine (Musician Placement Directors, 8th Marine Corps District). . No matter where or when, Marines will take time to celebrate the birth of the Corps. Happy birthday Marines! . #Marinemusic #marines #marinecorpsbirthday #anyclimeandplace (at Arlington, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqBsy8mlBcV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ezb48hpdpwny
