why are anonymous oilers fans jumping into ur dms to complain and play “gotcha” on tumblr dot com of all places…i fear reddit is the website they’re best suited for bc where is the whimsy!
i brought it on myself by mentioning them in one SINGLE post in a fit of post win elation last night
i do, however, agree that reddit is a better platform for their particular brand of fandom
#thanks friend ❤️#i called them delulu and they took that personally#i just meant that they seemed very in their feels about a game the oilers played well#also there was this one post where someone was making themselves feel better by saying like our team has good dynamics and a good locker#room and the canucks hate each other and everything is falling apart#that just felt like a really low blow and didn’t sit well with me#kinda like ok so you clearly see our fandom is going through it and you have to make yourself feel better by rubbing salt in our gaping#wounds? go off i guess#anyway i’ve written and rewritten these tags so many times#i left reddit bc of the doomer fans i don’t want them on my shit post website ty#some of the fans were pretty funny though and had good posts!!#i genuinely care about 30/32 teams so i like to keep up with all the fandoms#the teams i don’t care about are the golden knights (which may be unfounded i’m actively trying to address my biases here) and st. louis#(only because i regularly forget they exist)

I was looking at my Showtime playlist (that somehow now has 60 likes?!? Thank you all so much?!?!?!) versus my Gabriel playlist (has been sitting at a solid 2 likes for 9+ months) and thought of this again

(click link to see masterpost)
Basic Premise: The Bone-Binder has broken his promise with the land of Pytharios, and is now terrorizing the region to get what he wants. Chosen directly by the Queen, Aerlyra Ghorne–a promising yet incredibly unsure woman–is tasked to stop him for once and for all. With the help of her assigned crew and companions who join alongside her during the journey, she hopes to do just that.

We Die As One
(Adding masterpost soon)
Basic Premise: Tells the story from a series of ancient journals that are uncovered showing the events following up the total wipeout of all magic. The journal entries focus on a group of scrappy, young heroes who are on a mission against the world, and fail to stop the evils of the world from taking over. All that is left of them is the journals, leaving the ways of the past to be seen as a distant memory and an inspiration to the new generation, who see how the world came to what it has become.
Tags: #We Die As One or #WDAO
Genre: High Fantasy; Action-Adventure
Status: Active (ish, still in idea-phase)
I will be adding more links as I post!!
I still have more WIPS but those are secrets for later ;)

Knock, Knock
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f8bac828d683f7e0c7a1a854c416c253/407975c52d95b7f3-2c/s540x810/76afb3cc1fbe7a536ddf31da8eb1609c3064679e.jpg)
Dearest Tumblrs,
I know I have been MIA for the longest of times, but I haven’t left y’all yet. My father died 46 days ago. I’m still processing that, still getting used to the presence of his absence. I have spent the majority of 2024 caring for two parents while holding down a full-time job; differentiating between sickness and illness, conditions and diseases, and watching a loved one fall into an invincible decline and eventually succumb to the inevitable.
I have never experienced profound loss before, and it is a hurt unlike any other I have ever experienced. I thought because I was there, I saw it unfolding in real time 24/7 that I would be prepared when the time came.
I was not. I never was.
I’m still grieving, still reeling from the sucker-punch that is death, still tiptoeing around a landmine of emotions, all while being a productive employee and dutiful daughter and caretaker to my remaining parent.
I don’t sleep well (and haven’t for over a year), listening for bumps and cries in the night and waiting to hear my name called because I’m needed. I don’t go out unless it’s to run errands: grocery store, car maintenance, pick up prescriptions. I spend 9 hours at a paid job (forgoing my lunch hour so I can come home and make beds, empty commodes, and fix lunch for my mom; before dad’s decline got too bad, I fed them both).
There’s laundry to wash, dry, fold; bathrooms to clean, floors to mop, rooms to sweep and vacuum, meals to cook. Mail and packages have to be both sent out and brought in. And since dad left, I have to take care of what is left of his business as well as get help with keeping the house standing. The furnace had to be replaced; there was a gas leak and piping had to be repaired and restored. The main sewer line was clogged and had to be cleared. I still need to find a reliable yard person to rake and bag the leaves.
I’m strong because I have to be, not because I want to be.
During all of this, dealing with reality and life, all I wanted to do was write. To lose myself in worlds I create, to detach myself from transition and death and ever-mounting bills. My head is filled constantly with thoughts, ideas, and dialogue; perhaps now I may be able to find/make time and have more focus to get back to what calms me, what I feel I do well, and makes me happy.
I have so many stories to finish (my masterlist is a huge pile of incompletes) and start, but these are the stories and AUs in the works:
Babylon—Dolos: The Homeland AU dealing with international current events
Babylon—Belly of the Beast: The Homeland AU fictionalizing the 2024 election
Watercoolers and Coffeepots—the DC AU gang’s take on the 2024 election within the workplace
Sex and the Middle-Aged Divorcee—what’s it like being a 54-year-old woman in the world of online dating
Single—UnRomance is back with a follow-up to this storyline
Tuesday’s Child—an OC-centric story about a family whose patriarch is dying (any similarities between my family (or yours) is purely coincidental
Hospital Lost—a medical drama AU drawn largely on St. Elsewhere, ER, and Grey’s Anatomy which will be a crossover cluster. Imagine Open Heart with focus on emergency room patients and a lot more staff
I feel it’s only fair to warn you that I’ve decided to give up creative writing for writing creatively; if my writing reads/feels differently, this is the reason why.
This is all I have for now, but hopefully I will be back soon. Since I have ZERO idea who’s left, tagging the few I know are still active in the TRR/TRH/TRF sub-fandom. Feel free to let me know if you want on or off the taglist.
Tagging: @angelasscribbles @kristinamae093 @kingliam2019 @indiacater @twinkleallnight @tessa-liam @bebepac

The Recent News
Spoilers ahead for Stranger Things 5, including photos of actors on set.
Look, something about all this (the leak + the photo situation) feels… fishy, and I can see people in various tags are getting various levels of upset by it. So as someone who has been around the block a couple of times, I want to say something.
First of all: hi, everyone! I’m glad to be here. I’ve been a fan of ST since early-mid 2020 and involved in the fandom since mid-late 2020 (on other accounts, which have since been deleted), so I feel at least marginally qualified to say what I’m going to say. That being said, I drifted away from the fandom before S5 filming began and haven't watched the show in a while; if I get anything wrong please feel free to correct me.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a78c9fac5d4618d4092d6f5ab4fc2eed/974480b92e85f853-1e/s540x810/40557edb22003d7394249dcee04f24a9afeef7a1.jpg)
First I want to talk about Bridgerton S3. I closely followed that production in 2022 and 2023. Like Stranger Things, Bridgerton is a high-budget Netflix original show with a large cast, lots of public interest, an active fandom, and what I would call "special considerations" for filming. (In Bridgerton's case it's the historical element; in ST it's the sci-fi/fantasy element plus the historical element, albeit to a lesser degree.) They filmed for a shorter period of time than ST5 is expected to film for, yes, but many of the circumstances are/were similar. That brings me to my point: when Bridgerton S3 was filming, the best we got from the main cast was a handful of photos a) taken from relatively far away that b) did not spoil anything major. Luckily for us, the photos were clear, but in the end they didn't really amount to anything more than eye candy, something to get excited over.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e6375f036ca1f2f2f78f1e57a3f258da/974480b92e85f853-e6/s250x250_c1/08997d44d2c1742a378602da128e660e3d2c04ba.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/58c8c6d5349e3965a7dec5ef9874eb25/974480b92e85f853-5a/s540x810/5b00125bca8ba7fd2391d356889543656b8ce7c3.jpg)
In contrast, these photos from the ST5 set are clear, close, and most importantly reveal seemingly significant story beats/results. (Okay, the Mike and Hopper one isn't super close or clear, I'll give ya that. But it's still pretty damn close for a set that's supposedly locked down! Especially if they're filming a scene possibly related to a major character's death/disappearance!) Kinda odd, right? I'm not necessarily saying they were leaked on purpose to misdirect fans, because I'm not that confident in myself. I don’t have any insider/industry knowledge; I can only claim a healthy (perhaps too healthy?) level of skepticism. But I do want to put that possibility out there, because I think it’s an important one to consider.
“But wait,” you might say, “many parts of S4 were leaked, and leaked accurately at that. What’s to say these aren’t real too?”
That’s a fair point! Maybe production hasn’t learned their lesson from S4; maybe they’re truly terrible at preventing leaks and that’s the end of the story. Yes, they’ve spoken a little about security measures in the lead-up to S5 but that doesn’t mean those security measures were implemented well, or even at all.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f59b45ac0e2fb95c5fb21b3e90f455ed/974480b92e85f853-8d/s400x600/9bf64f96822664f09881ae12f573c8e497c2d49a.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9049a6643cfc14ec840af82fd5cf4cee/974480b92e85f853-3f/s400x600/ffb8cacadf4713b30a4e91fc843bc56b5a153939.jpg)
Even keeping that in mind, I nonetheless implore everyone to chill the hell out. I say this again, with so much love: CHILL THE HELL OUT. This has happened before: even with the accurate leaks and clear photos we got during S4 filming, we lacked so much context. Mike and El’s “I love you” scene is a great example of this. There was quite the brouhaha over that leak in certain corners of the fandom… and yet the actual scene turned out nothing like the phrase “Mike finally says ‘I love you’ to El” implies. Another example are these photos (see above; my apologies for the poor quality!) of the Hawkins group in the parking lot of The War Zone. When those photos were leaked, I recall speculation that the scene would appear at the very end of the finale, that it related to an apocalypse situation, and so on, but not so! In the show it appeared before the final battle with Vecna: the town was in a panic, yeah, but no apocalypse.
That’s what I mean about chilling the hell out. We can’t assume the photos/leaks are genuine—and even if we did indulge that assumption (which is fair given production’s history!) we can’t assume we have the whole story.
Hang in there, folks. We survived S4 production and we’ll survive S5 production too :)
TL;DR: Hi, I’m new and also not new here. I made this account just to talk about this photo/leak situation because that’s how passionate I am about this godforsaken show. This is a little weird, but whether the leaks/photos are real or planted, stay calm. We know so little right now. Don’t waste your energy on blind panic, not when we still have another year(ish) to go.
#if you found this post helpful a reblog for wider visibility would be appreciated! new account = no followers = nobody sees my post 💔#mine#stranger things#stranger things 5#st 5#st 5 leaks#st 5 spoilers#stranger things 5 spoilers#stranger things leaks#byler#<- target audience#(I'm very familiar with that tag!

If I’m being honest, you are all getting way too hung up on fake diseases and attacking a writer as if he personally attacked your family. It’s a strange obsession you have and you guys always come at any small nitpick as if it’s the end of the world. It’s a weird obsession and you have all been doing it for years. Maybe you liked Sunset Heights getting a remix but you also play victim when people don’t like the 2010s games. You can see Sonic is more successful now and doing things much better but you just like to sit in your anger towards the series for years. I’ll add that you’re much more sane in your reactions than RandomtheFox, but this whole side of the fandom here is so pathetic. The endless loop of anything new coming out for Sonic, and your little posse hating on it because it isn’t the meta era or because Ian Flynn has his name on it makes me glad you guys are a small minority in the fandom.
Do you want to know why we're discussing this?
If you go back and read our discussions, see how much we brought up with this little detail!
I looked up the effects of low gravity on the human body: I learned something new about science. I tried to put into words why this detail is harder to accept than Sonic breathing in space: this is about stories and world building. I immediately found a replacement idea. We discussed about SA2, its gameplay mechanics, its cutscenes. Someone even brought up the idea of drawing parallels with AIDS and how it would affect Maria. Negativity can stem from a place of reasoning, "how would I do that?", and it makes me use my brain in a fun way. I'm aware it's a inconsequential detail, but I'm having fun!
As for the rest of the message, yeah, we are a minority. Which makes me wonder why you care so much about a group of, what, four people?
Why don't I get any engagement when I'm positive, but suddenly people are up my ass when I talk about something negative? I didn't even tag most of my posts. Bro half of the Sonic fandom blocked me already because I'm a dirty sinning IDW non-enjoyer. I am not bothering anyone.
By the way, my negativity about IDW once even resulted in me writing a fic about it. Again, creativity and genuine discussions about writing a story and its downfalls. It nourishes the brain.
I don't like this new direction for Sonic. There, happy? I don't feel catered to, as a 2000s fan, by all this "REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE COOL????" stuff, not to mention I'm just not a Shadow fan so seeing him with wings and shit does nothing for me. I am annoyed because this used to be a franchise dear to me, but the current environment, both games and fandom, alienates me. I am also aware that, precisely because I'm in the minority, I'll just have to wait until ST changes trend again.
If my writer side activates when I talk about a writing decision I don't like and I'm having fun dissecting it, let me, alright? You can find me cringe, if you want to, but I'm not doing anything different than other fans, just directed towards a less acceptable target and in the privacy of my blocked blog.
Also: to be perfectly honest, if it only takes me one day of mild bitching to get anons yelling at me that I'm a joyless bastard doomed to be sad because I refuse to be happy, it kind of makes me want to be saltier out of spite. I'm already a bad person, might as well, right?
#i'm asking again: why isn't the cv fandom crawling up my asshole in the same way?#what is about sonic that makes fans wanting to squash any dissenting?#i accept the apology message you sent but this still needed addressing#edit: no wait there was *one* cv fan who crawled up my asshole but at least they pretended it was about me replying to a screenshot#so they caught the occasion to call me rude - and yeah fine#it wasn't specifically because i was being negative

Lmaaooo all the people in that Popbase post with the new birthday photo being so disappointed in the rest of the cast and trying to cancel them - they really thought.
i’m laughing so hard reading all the quotes and the overall st fandom having a meltdown. the noah stans told you from the beginning that everybody was cool with noah but all of them had their fun making up fantasies about their favs being morally superior and that they wouldn’t hang out with noah. it was time for a reality check, the reality here is that people should save their “i’m so disappointed” tweets to themselves because the cast doesn’t care, noah is a dear friend to them and i’m sure they would be disgusted at how people bully noah because they clearly care a lot about him as a friend. people also need to stop being childish, photoshopping the picture or not mentioning noah’s name isn’t going to change reality, he’s right there with your favs spending quality time while you’re mad behind a keyboard. i’m so glad noah isn’t letting anybody steal his joy and is enjoying time with the rest of the cast, that’s the best thing he can do. it makes them so mad that he’s still alive and very happy so keep up with the good work noah!
also it’s time for certain people to check themselves and be aware of the parasocial relationships they are building because no, the cast doesn’t need to be saved and they weren’t forced to be there, they willingly went with noah and had a blast celebrating his birthday. i guess it’s way easier to start projecting and be parasocial with certain cast members (i won’t give names but you know who isn’t online) because they aren’t active on social media at all but i’ll say something that some people need to hear, they aren’t online because YOU are annoying af and they don’t want to deal with you, you don’t know them. that’s the truth and btw censuring noah from his own birthday pics isn’t the activism you think it is.

Hey I’m gonna be real candid here, but the Eddie/ST fandom in general has got to be on the list of one of the most toxic fandoms I’ve ever been in.
For being supposed “fans” of an outcast/freak, I see a lot of cliques forming and people being excluded/lambasted for shit that makes no fucking sense. Like… take a minute and really think about that. You’re a fan of someone who nobody likes, and you actively try to go out of your way to exclude or belittle people for no reason. On top of that, I see smaller creators get ignored, and/or made fun of for literally what? Writing fanfic? On the writing fanfic website?
I’m just saying, the way some people act in this fandom, it’s wild as fuck. And I am starting to understand now why Joseph has expressed his distaste of the Eddie fan base.

4, 7, 9, 12 for the ask game <3 (all glee if possible)
Yay, thanks for these Crys! 7 was previously answered so I went ahead and skipped it :)
4. say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)
I don’t ship St. Berry, but I am of the opinion that if it couldn’t be Finn, I’m glad it was Jesse. He and Rachel really are two sides of the same coin and they seem to love each other very deeply and I hope they’re happy together!
9. a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy
Samcedes 😭 they are my emotional support heterosexuals your honor. But also, they are two genuinely good people who care deeply about one another samcedes you will always be endgame to me
12. compliment someone else in your fandom
Okay this is gonna be a lot because I AM going to do all the active fandoms I’m in! So under the read more!
Glee:
First of all you, Crys! And @backslashdelta You are both so talented with your gif making that it kind of drives me insane.
@kurtsascot is probably one of the most talented writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I feel so lucky that we’ve gotten her so late in the game! I feel similarly about @rockitmans and @thelegendofjenna
@esilher @twinkkurt and @justgleekout make the most BEAUTIFUL fanart I’ve ever seen, and I also wanna thank @carsonphillips for klainegifs and keeping the fandom interesting with their events!
@somefeministtheatrepls is not only an amazing friend but the most thoughtful beta reader and honestly partner in my writing?? Writing is much less stressful because I don’t even worry about things being clunky or weird because I know her ass will help that chapter SHINE
@nancysgillians @kurthummeldeservesbetter also get shoutouts because they are wonderful people to have in your life
Newsies:
I could fill novels with how much I love and appreciate @somanywords! Their amazing storytelling and also volunteering to make art for the MiniBang I hosted earlier this year??? On top of listening to my insane ramblings?? They don’t make em like this anymore folks
@one-paper-bag is also SOOOOOO incredibly talented with their art, and their lovely comments on my Spider-Man AU keep me going (on GOD we are gonna get you another chapter ON GOD!!!!)
@livesincerely and @agentsnickers are some of the most prolific and INSANELY TALENTED writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, and also genuinely lovely people! You know when you see someone on your dash and ur just like “wow. I hope they are having a FANTASTIC day and life. They deserve one.”
@piedoesnotequalpi and @regina-cordium are also so incredibly FUNNY and have the most correct takes on every single newsie and that’s on that ❤️
911:
I’m relatively new to this fandom, so I don’t know a ton of people yet, but there are def people I see on my dash that I have noticed!
@cranberrymoons @lesbianrobin @insertlovelyperson have written some of my absolute FAAAAAAVE fics! I feel like they really have a handle on who the characters are in a way that’s true to the show and kind of difficult to pull off!
@texasbama makes amazing gifs and honestly anytime I see her on my dash I laugh bc genuinely she’s so funny. Also on the list of hilarious contributors is @buckgettingstruck
And a couple of people who I think have genuinely great vibes are @buckera @leathercouchcushion and @yaz-the-spaz
And of course I can’t talk about 911 without a second mention to @regina-cordium who puts up with all my Texas!Buddie nonsense andbansndbsk
-
Okay yeah so that was a LOT sorry!! I didn’t mean for it to get so long BUT I do mean every single word! I’m really blessed to have met so many amazing people through fandom and my experience on this site has been nothing less than superb because of yall ❤️

ted wheeler is the hero of st
an explanation of the critical role ted will be playing in the final season of stranger things
everything from the past four seasons has been building to this point, and season five will bear witness to the culmination of ted wheeler’s incredible five season arc. showcasing, finally (it’s been a long wait tedheads!), that the ultimate hero of the show is the unimportant, average dad from indiana!
“But one unlikely hero might soon be rising: that’s right, Ted Wheeler (Joe Chrest) could be the hero Hawkins needs.”[1]
let’s get right into it!!
season 5 is the season of the wheeler’s
if you’re in this fandom, then you have to know that “The Wheeler family will take centre stage in Stranger Things season 5, stepping into more significant roles.”[2] Obviously anyone that’s been watching the show knows that nancy and mike, and to an extent karen, are already fairly relevant within the story. and with holly going “missing” and karen being pretty badly hurt, what new wheeler can rise to a level of importance that they haven’t previously held? that’s right baby. ted wheeler. dad of the year.
not only do we know from the duffers that the wheeler’s are stepping up in season five, we also know from multiple interviews that “a lot of the cast, pretty much from season two, have been encouraging the Duffers to get Ted more active in the show”[3]. we have inside support! for almost a decade, the cast of the show have been actively trying to uplift ted wheeler to the role he deserves. the role we all want him to take.
subverting tropes and expectations
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8d1b3c5a82388d0c274f14e2c4896ad1/9fa6905c91f2b6ad-91/s540x810/8830f734e78e1c6a28830c2f12ec8fa84c7366bc.jpg)
we all know that the duffers like their unexpected narratives, they like taking tropes that the audience is used to and understands and flipping them on their head. what possible better character, that has been well-established at this point to be removed from the narrative, to be unaware of what’s going on around him, to be fairly useless and unhelpful in the times of crisis, could step up, could save the day, could break the conventions and shock audiences, other than ted?
protective father instincts
the child that ted is canonically closest with is his youngest child, holly wheeler. “Ted was being a really good father to Holly, the youngest child”[2]. the obvious route here for the final season is that after his own child goes missing, ted will finally be pulled into the mystery of the upside down, and the disappearance of his favourite child will awaken his protective instincts. as joe chrest said: “he’s a man who will always fight for his family” (chrest) [3]. he may not always understand his loved ones, he may enjoy a good nap on his chair, but ted will do anything for his children.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1b0a76ef3e67543f05c9cea3f088ef73/9fa6905c91f2b6ad-0e/s540x810/067852cb0f35c5a0dd23d767c4d42b103ba666bb.jpg)
not to mention, we all know the importance of fathers in stranger things. ted may not be hopper, but he’s got hidden depths within him we’re yet to see (though if you’re media literate of course we can all see them lying dormant lol).
let’s get back to the great joe chrest, who’s stressed in multiple interviews: “I would love a chance to get out there and defend the kids. Ted really loves his family and would do well in that Upside Down scenario. It’s the ‘80s, too. It’s a chance for Ted to fight for his country. I’m sure he served in the military. The dude’s a patriot, for Gods’ sake.”[3]. military ted, we all know what that means right??? nancy got her beloved gun talents from her father.
did anybody order ted wheeler shooting at monsters and government officials in season five? because that’s what we’re getting baby.
the love triangle
now, we all know one of the biggest plots in the upcoming season is the culmination of the love triangle between steve, nancy and jonathan. you might be wondering how ted factors into this, but it’s very obvious with just a little close reading of the show.
nancy’s views on relationships are inspired by her parents marriage; her dad’s perceived uselessness and her mother’s apathy. i mean she says it straight up in season one!! screw that!
in order for nancy to step happily into a relationship, free from doubt and regret, those issues have to be resolved. what better way for them to be resolved than for ted wheeler, father of the year, to step up for his family and demonstrate his love and devotion for them by protecting them from the upside down and the government, and becoming an active father figure.
ted vs steve harrington
not to make everything about my little guy, but well. it’s me.
i swear though, this is a solid point!
now, in the first and second seasons, there were some pretty heavy parallels between the characters of steve and ted that were obvious for even the most casual watcher to see.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bfc8bb57eaae43bf406263b94046ef66/9fa6905c91f2b6ad-de/s540x810/99234dc65033511bae946c7ee7c954bac9f33d74.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b21d741472c8dcd56e13e0b3bc6ae84a/9fa6905c91f2b6ad-8d/s540x810/06cce4613777fa6c5fc67fa93b8f6bd927d0d425.jpg)
joe chrest: “…With our characters, we felt like they were almost the same guy… That [Steve] was Ted back when he was in High School.”[3]
some haters would have us believe that these parallels are just there to show stancy as unsuitable. they’re wrong.
what these parallels are actually foreshadowing is the steve harrington redemption arc that we will watch ted experience in the final season!
in the first season we’re supposed to understand ted and steve to be on the same path, if steve deviated from that path, why would his parallel character not do the same? if steve had it within him to step up, to be brave, to make a choice outside of what is expected of him, then ted has that strength within him too, he’s just never had a reason to truly unleash it.
stranger things is a show all about how the ordinary can actually be extraordinary, and who better to showcase that than ted wheeler?
dedicated to shan, one of the biggest tedheads i know 🫶

Welcome to chaos!
My last introduction post is like a year old, so here we go.
AmethystandEmma’s Intro
Hi everyone! I’m Emma. I’m 20 years old, autistic, and a Christian. Plus a bunch of other stuff, but those are my main three things.
My username is AmethystandEmma because Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld is one of my favorite superheroes!
I’ve been writing fics since sixth grade, so about eight years now? I’ve recently gotten into drawing as well.
My main fandoms are currently DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Harry Potter, Hogwarts Legacy, and Fantastic Beasts. They are subject to change though, so keep that in mind.
As of October of 2024, I have become less active on all social media sites. I was feeling extremely stressed and social media was part of the reason.
I’m fine with minors being on here. I remember how lonely I felt without fandoms. It’s important to be able to connect.
It literally makes my day when people comment on my stuff or share it. I usually check out the other person's profile as well and try to spread the love back!
If you have any questions or just wanna chat, give me a DM or ask!

OFMD
I continue to be baffled and disappointed by the decisions of streaming services. Honestly, I’m not especially dissatisfied with the way OFMD S2 ended (apart from Izzy’s fate, which I thought was bollocks), but it seemed clear to me that DJ felt he had more to do, more to say. Meanwhile the medium remains saturated with the bland, the formulaic, the safe. What’s to become of it all when these companies actively militate against risk-taking, even when it *works*?! Either way, not good news for the creative industries.
I love writing in the fandom, and I’ve got no intention of stopping now. They can’t cancel OUR creativity.
My existing OFMD fics are listed below; they’re not the best out there, but they come from a place of inspiration and love, and I hope they bring some joy. I’m also working on a multi-chapter modern AU which I can’t wait to share. I hope others will keep working on their stories and art, too.
Ruin Me
Stede finally tells Ed what Chauncey said the night they parted.

The Good Plan
Ed’s been a bit stressed lately. Fortunately, Stede knows how to ease the tension . . .

Love Me (Fast and Slow)
Izzy tells Stede to give Ed space after their fight. Stede does the exact opposite. Fortunately, that turns out to be a good call.
