🫧About Me🫧

Hello!

My name is Miranda, and I use they/them pronouns (she/her are alright but not preferred). I am a 23 year old artist from the US. I am bisexual and non-binary (incase you'd like queer moots c:). I have migrated from twitter's platform.

While I am very active in the Stranger Things fandom, I also enjoy several others. So if you're a moot from twitter, fair warning you'll see other subjects too.

I typically do not write or draw things that are NSFW/MDNI, however if I do it will be marked with that tag in large print first. **I will reblog MDNI/NSFW/18+ Content, so please be aware of anything I reblog, if I don't see a tag on it claiming it is mature, I will try to add one before reposting(i.e with a caption added while reblogging, not uploading it as my own!!). It can be really intense content/written work sometimes, so please keep yourself safe, first and foremost.

I also really love ships/fanfic (why I'm here lol). That includes topics like: same sex couples, couples that are transgender, any ship that explores gender as a topic, interacial couples, kink exploration, and sometimes toxic ships (Like Robin and Carol from Stranger Things). I don't post art on the account connected to twitter but if I decide to, I will post art exploring similar themes. If these topics bother you, don't follow. (I don't want people who are transphobic/homophobic/racist/antisemitic/xenophobic/sexist following me)

Fandoms included but are not limited to:

-Stranger Things *Characters that are most prominent (Steve Harrington;Robin Buckely; Eddie Munson; Wayne Munson; Dustin Henderson; Erica Sinclair; Lucas Sinclair; Max Mayfield; Jim Hopper; Joyce Byers; Will Byers; Jonathan Byers; Nancy Wheeler)

-Marvel Comics/MCU *Characters that are most prominent (Daredevil; Matt Murdock; Foggy Nelson; Elektra Natchios; Moon Knight; Mr. Knight; Steven Grant; Marc Spector; Jake Lockley; Iron Man; Tony Stark; Venom; Eddie Brock;Spider-Man; Pick who is behind the mask, I like most of them lmao)

-DC Comics/ DCEU *Characters that are most prominent (Jason Todd; Red Hood; Tim Drake; Batman; Bruce Wayne; Nightwing; Dick Grayson; Bane; Court of Owls; League of Assassins; Roy Harper; Arsenal; Alfred Pennyworth; Green Arrow; Oliver Queen; Catwoman; Selina Kyle; Posion Ivy)

-Star Wars *Featured Media (Clone Wars/Andor/The Mandalorian/Episodes 1-9/Rebels/Visions/Bad Batch)

*I try to avoid talking about the actors themselves to avoid intense parasocial relationships. That being said, I'm sure I'll reblog a picture of Joe Keery or get excited over Oscar Issac's new project. It's a boundary I have to keep it limited for myself, doesn't mean I'm not a fan too ;) *

If jake had a twitter

[i-dreamed-i-had-a-son]

AND THEN ALSO

BRUH 😭😭😭

@betweenthescarletmoon I feel like you'll appreciate this in particular but the Moon Knight soundtrack has me in my feels and also vibrating because

This one plays in episode 5 when we're seeing Marc's trauma for the first time and the title also references how Steven tells him "It'll be all your fault"...and then...

This is what plays when Marc loses Steven to the sands of the Duat, it's the final piece of the episode

BUT THEN THERE'S EPISODE 6

And the second song is called:

LIKE!!!! I can't even tell you how much excitement this gives me, it has so many layers--like Steven's forgiven Marc, but now Marc will finally have to really forgive himself--and it also has me going Jake??? Jake??

But it gets BETTER.

These are the last three songs in the album.

Holy. Frick.

I really enjoyed Marlene and Reese’s conversation in the annual, and I think it highlighted some key things about each of their relationships with Marc and the themes of the MacKay run writ large. However, I feel like I reacted to this conversation quite differently than many other people, both in terms of sympathy towards Marlene and in terms of what I got out of their conversation. So of course I wrote a long-ass analysis post.

MARLENE: Are you in love with him, Reese?

REESE: Pfft, please. He’s hardly my type.

I am actually really glad that someone in-universe asked Reese this. I don’t think this concern is substantiated at all, but we, the readers, are viewing this story very differently than it would be viewed by the people participating in it. We can see the characters at all times; we can look into Marc Spector’s head and know what he is hiding; we have knowledge of all past runs, we have access to Jed MacKay’s Twitter. In short, we have all the information available to recognize that Marc and Reese aren’t romantically involved or interested in romance - they are friends! Marc helped Reese adjust to her new life as a vampire, and she is helping him be a superhero and maintain his mental health, and through this they have recognized parallels in their trauma and that they just plain get along.

But. In-universe, stripped of our knowledge and the context that we know and understand through our familiarity with the characters and access to their private minds and lives, what we have is a ~18 year old girl who is newly estranged from her parents who has now moved in with a ~40 year man with a history of violence. With no other information, that is a pretty sketchy situation.

Now, I absolutely do not think Marlene is concerned about Marc being in love with Reese, wanting a relationship with Reese, or doing anything to harm Reese physically or verbally. Marlene knows Marc, and she knows he wouldn’t. In this scene, Marlene isn’t jealous or trying to make the conversation uncomfortable; she is trying to suss out Reese’s reasons for being here. Reese isn’t in love with Marc. Reese doesn’t think of Marc as her dad. Reese views them as friends. She is “in his corner” but “not blindly beholden to him”. An equal.

(Also, “he’s hardly my type”? Lesbian Reese agenda 2k22.)

REESE: But he needs someone in his corner. All his old super hero pals dropped him, except for that snitch Tigra. He needs someone who’s not his doctor, who’s not blindly beholden to him, who’s not mixed up in all his moon-god crap.

Reese is right that Marc needs someone to support him. Marc does need someone who isn’t his doctor, or a yes-man, or into Khonshu. But hoo boy, “that snitch Tigra” is a waving red flag. Reese says way back in issue 3 that “they say all these things about you. [..] About what you used to do to people,” and Marc affirms that, but does Reese get it?

Tigra is watching Marc for a reason, and Marc knows that and is okay with it, and it doesn’t mean Tigra and Marc don’t care about each other. Framing this as “snitching” - something that’s come up in the main run, too - to me indicates a with-us-or-against-us mindset. To Reese, Marc is the guy who saved her and who she’s trying to help save in return. She hasn’t integrated that guy with the “bad person who did bad things,” as Marc puts it to Dr. Sterman. (To Marc, he’s the bad person, and not the guy who saved Reese.) But those are the same guy. The same Marc Spector, the same Moon Knight, the same Steven Grant and Jake Lockley alongside him.

MARLENE: You like him. I get it, he’s likable. Him, Jake, Steven, all of them. You want to protect him. I get that too - he’s got a lot of problems.

REESE: He saved me, saved lots of people --

MARLENE: That’s the thing. He saves people. Everyone except himself and the people closest to him.

This isn’t saying that Reese should leave. I’m not at all interested in her deciding Marc is bad or that he actually needs to be taken to task. Reese doesn’t need to sit down and watch a slideshow of Marc Spector’s Worst War Crimes and "learn” that that counts more than his dedication to keeping an abusive man away from his spouse. It is GOOD that she cares about who Marc is now more than anything else, and I think that aspect of her friendship with Marc is good for him.

However, if she maintains a mindset that Marc should be protected, that Tigra being willing to secretly assess Marc as a threat is a betrayal instead of the consequence of trying to take over the world, she runs the risk of sliding into codependency. And again, Reese is ~18 years old. She cannot be the only person in Marc’s corner, regardless of the strength of their friendship. That’s pretty clearly what Marlene is referring to here - Reese may want to protect Marc, but she can’t save him. Marc is terrible at taking care of himself, and he’s worse at supporting the people who are supporting him. Stab a guy? He’s got you. Acknowledge that your brother died in front of you? That might be a problem. If you want to be the guy in his corner, you need to know that and know how much of that you can take.

MARLENE: I get that too. I thought that could be me, once upon a time. It was exciting, at first. I loved Marc. And Steven. And Jake. But that was a long time ago.

And Marlene should know that - for years, she wanted to be the person in his corner. Marc was the guy who saved her from Bushman, and who she dedicated her life to saving in return. She helped Steven build his fortune; helped Moon Knight infiltrate terrorist groups; worked to maintain their cover story and secret identity. Marc Spector was giving up his existence as a killer mercenary and becoming Steven Grant, a philanthropic millionaire, and Moon Knight, dispenser of justice in Khonshu’s name. There is no doubt in my mind that Marc and Frenchie alone could not have made that transition, and that Marlene was key in facilitating that development. (Just go back and read the series where Marlene is living with them vs. the ones where they’re separated - there is a pretty sharp divide in how well they’ve got their shit together. Moon Knight cannot effectively function without a support system.)

But did any of that work she did actually matter? Now Marc Spector is giving up his existence as the killer disciple of Khonshu and becoming Mr. Knight, neighborhood hero, and Moon Knight, dispenser of justice (but only begrudgingly in Khonshu’s name).

What did Marlene get out of it? A daughter; a lot of enemies; knowledge that her partner/s loved her but wouldn’t change.

Of course she thinks Reese is getting into essentially the same shit as she did all over again.

But like ... is she right?

MARLENE: We broke each other’s hearts over the years, again and again. In time, horror outpaced the excitement. You’ll see that, eventually.

Well. There are two answers I can give.

The quick blunt answer is that Moon Knight’s defining trait has become that he is mentally ill and does not have his shit together. Will future runs allow him to maintain whatever recovery he makes in this run? My money is on no.

That’s a pretty unsatisfying answer, though, and it completely ignores what MacKay is setting up himself, and I’d argue that the guy whose work is actually in front of us is more worth debating than the potentially infinite future guys. So! In the greater context of this run, I find it impossible to argue that MacKay wants us to think nothing good can come from Marc. Reese and the other vampires are free because of him. Ordinary, everyday people come to him for help. The people in his neighborhood recognize him and trust him and want him there. Soldier’s mother doesn’t blame him for what happened to her son. The House of Shadows loves him.

The thematic question this run is posing is, “can Marc Spector change?” and the main run is answering ... yes! He can let Steven and Jake in again. He can tell the people in his life he has DID. He can go to therapy and take it to heart.

In the annual, Marlene is answering no. She does not think he has really changed, and he will eventually backslide, as he always has before. He is still promising that he can totally quit being Moon Knight and be the partner she always wanted when they both know that is a lie. He’s still a person who needs to be talked down from murder by his elementary-school aged daughter. Moreover, this is a necessary pushback to the main run’s “yes” answer. Marlene’s stance here isn’t wrong. It’s just not universal. If this shit was easy and obvious, we wouldn’t be able to make an overarching emotional throughline out of it, and we need to be shown the roadblocks (people who don’t let you back into their lives and the desire to slide into old bad habits, among others).

This pushback also helps us elaborate on our thematic questions. It’s not just CAN Marc change, but how much effort is Marc willing to put into becoming a stable person to be close to, with whom a long-term relationship of any kind is viable? If he has to choose, will he choose Moon Knight or his human relationships? Will he emotionally support his friends, or only expect their emotional support? If Marc changes, will that even matter? Does being Moon Knight do anything meaningful for the people he hurt? Or is it all for Marc Spector?

Within the context of MacKay’s run, I think Marc and Reese will be fine. Marc has already made the critical step of telling Reese about his DID. Reese, unlike Marlene circa the Moench run, is not interested in Marc making up for his past; she wants him to be good now and that’s enough for her. Reese isn’t going to ~learn her lesson~ about being naive and trusting someone who’s ~crazy~ and ~violent~. What matters isn’t what Marc has done in the past; it’s seeing his behavior in the present with clear eyes and making sure they’re good friends to each other, not just in one direction. (But make no mistake, there will be horrors. Just horrors that they can face as parts of a team.)

Nomination Clarifications #4

Sign-ups should be opening in about 10 hours, but we still have 12 clarifications we need information for. If you nominated the fandom Mr. Malcolm's List, can you clarify if you mean the novel, the 2022 film, the 2019 short film or potentially the podcast script reading. If we don't hear back about this we'll process this as Mr. Malcolm's List - All Media Types. Also for the ship Selina Dalton/Jeremiah Dalton/Henry Ossory/Lord Cassidy, did you mean to write Jeremiah Malcolm rather than Dalton? We can't find a character of Jeremiah Dalton, only Jeremiah Malcolm, so if we don't hear back we'll assume that was an error. If you nominated the fandom ユリ熊嵐 | Yuri Kuma Arashi, can you clarify if you meant the anime or the manga since they look to have the same characters but very different plotlines. If we don't hear back about this we'll be processing this as ユリ熊嵐 | Yuri Kuma Arashi (Anime). If you nominated Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia/Yennefer z Vengerbergu | Yennefer of Vengerberg under Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types,  this is only 2 people and we don't allow 2 people ships. If you meant to write in a third person, please let us know who and also whether the  ship is for The Witcher books, games or TV. If you nominated Bewildered Older Brother/Older Brother's BF/Horny Younger Brother Wishing to be in a Sandwich (OW) under Original Work, please can you spell out what BF should mean. If we don't hear back we'll assume it means boyfriend and approve with that added. If you nominated Beranardi al Auriga/Mandala Flynn/Hikaru Sulu under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, can you confirm if this  is meant to be Bernardi al Auriga from the The Entropy Effect novel. If we don't hear back we'll assume it was a typo and add it with Bernardi al Auriga. If you nominated Marlene Alraune/Layla El-Faouly/Steven Grant/Jake Lockley/Marc Spector under Moon Knight (TV),  can you confirm whether Marlene Alraune actually appears in the TV   show? From what we could tell looking online it looked like she wasn't.  If we don't hear back this will be added under Crossover - fandom instead. If you nominated Zakia Asalache/Capheus Onyango/Jela/Jela's wife under Sense8, can you confirm if you mean the specific canon character of Eleana for Jela's wife or Jela's wife as a general concept? If we don't hear back we'll assume it means general concept and approve as is.   If you nominated Logan/Ororo Munroe/Kurt Wagner under X-Men (Comicverse), please can you let us know if you meant Marvel 616 or another comics universe. If we don't hear back we will add this under Marvel 616. If we don't hear back about the following nominations they will be rejected: If you nominated Raffi Musiker/Seven of Nine/B'Elanna Torres AU under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, can you clarify what you mean by B'Elanna Torres AU. If it's an AU version of her from a particular episode the episode name added would help identify who you mean. If you nominated Raffi Musiker/Seven of Nine/B'Elanna Torres freeform under Star Trek: Classic Timeline, can you clarify what you mean by freeform, is this referring to the AO3 tag as a freeform tag or something else? If you just meant Raffi Musiker/Seven of Nine/B'Elanna Torres, that tag is already in the tagset. If you nominated Gong Jun | Simon/Yu Xiang/Zhang Zhehan under 山河令 | Word of Honor (TV 2021) RPF, we weren't 100% sure if we'd found the right actor for Yu Xiang, is Yun_Xiang  who plays Bi Xingming in Word of Honor the correct person? If we don't  hear back this nomination will be rejected since we need to be able to find details on the people in RPF ships so that we can confirm their ages are 18+. If you have any questions, please feel free to   leave a comment on this post. You can also send an e-mail to holly.poly.exchange@gmail.com.

2, 5, 6, & 23 for the ask game!

2. Where do you get your fic ideas?

Lots of different places! Lately, I've been inspired by some fanart I've seen (Steddie dads zine, a piece on Twitter that made me start a Ronance wip), but a lot of times I come up with a "what if" question or a single line, and then I spiral from there!

5. How many wips do you have?  What fandoms/pairings are they for?

Oh god. Um. A lot. Like, a lot a lot.

the handcuff fic (Stranger Things, Steddie, exactly what you think it's gonna be)

a ronance wip that i'm super excited about!

Born to Run (Stranger Things, big ass Eddie character study)

Steddie get together fic (exactly what it sounds like)

Jake Lockley character study (Moon Knight, Jake and the system through the years)

Layla and Jake meet (Moon Knight, Jake & Layla, Marc/Layla

And at least 5 I'll remember half an hour after I hit the post button!

6. What’s the last line you wrote?

From the handcuff fic: "After all, good behavior like that deserves to be rewarded."

23. Is writing the beginning, middle, or end of a story easiest? Hardest?

A year ago, I would have said beginnings were absolutely the easiest, then endings, then middles were just. Ew. Now, I'm not as sure. Most of my fics still stem from one line/scene that's usually toward the beginning, but I've found myself writing to scenes in the middle more often than writing from scenes in the beginning. Endings have always been about finding the right place to stop.

Sorry if that's not a great answer, but it's the best one I've got!

Thank you for asking!!

Ask me more questions!!
