#sashene rambles

[sasheneskywalker]

being a sociology major at a university where 90% of students and professors are leftists is very funny sometimes. here are some of the things that i've overheard:

---

"The author brings up many important issues but there's just too much praise for capitalism for my taste."

*multiple other students nodding seriously*

---

"Finally, I would like to commend the student who, in answer to a question about The Communist Manifesto, quoted several passages from it word for word completely from memory."

---

*while discussing how peer pressure and the people you surround yourself with influences how you make decisions*

"Yeah, I once got shamed for buying a Starbucks coffee and I haven't set foot in that coffee chain ever since."

"What do you mean?"

"I got to our monthly [a name for a far-left student club dedicated to discussing politics] meeting and a guy took one look at what I was holding and asked me to leave and not come back until I've read more about boycotting and labor unions."

thank you for the tag, @sasheneskywalker!!!

rules: answer and tag nine people you want to get to know better and catch up with.

favorite color: it changes regularly, but currently, a dusty/greyish purple

last song: Maps by The Front Bottoms

currently reading:

Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver is my current fiction read and i *hate* it with my entire being. don't read it.

Postcolonial Astrology: Reading the Planets through Capital, Labor, & Power by Alice Sparkly Kat is my current non-fiction read and so far, it's very good

i'm reading a lot of comics at the moment, but my main read is Manhunter (2004) which so far, is very good, i highly recommend. i'm also planning to read Midnighter (2007) and Black Widow (2014).

currently watching:

The Acolyte has been my most recent fixation so that's just on loop rewatching over and over in the background. a lot

i've been watching Pennyworth which is far better than i expected it to be, i'm really enjoying it

i also started Invincible, which i've been enjoying

idk if it counts but i've rewatched Madame Web a concerning number of times in the past few days.

currently craving: i'd kill for an Italian Cream Soda from tea2go rn

coffee or tea: tea. i used to be a big coffee person in my teens but my chronic illness doesn't like caffeine and it *really* doesn't like coffee so i just drink tea now, but i do love tea

hobby to try: the unrealistic hobby i'd like to get into a fanfiction binding, but that takes materials and resources i do *not* currently have. i think a more realistic answer is i've been meaning to get into marvel comics more.

current au: tbh the main AU i'm working on is a Lance Brunner-centric Post-Crisis fic where i'm completely rewriting his origins to make his death as Robin more significant but still something no one talks about, leading to the ressurection of Jason also reviving Lance and Jason going on his little spree, having no idea he's not the only dead Robin. i've figured out all of the backstory and how i want to characterize Lance, but the actual plot of the fic i'm still working out. i'm leaning toward Lance/Dick as a ship, but i haven't decided. i have so many notes and ideas though and i think it's funny to take a random one-off character from a random 60s comic and actually turn him into something substantial and how he'd shape the Batfamily. trust me i'm so close to infodumping about it here everyday.

i'm also working on a *really* messed up unhealthy Damian/Tim fic, where Damian purposefully breaks the timeline so Tim was never Robin and Damian was the third Robin instead. but when Bruce "dies" Damian realizes he has no idea where to start with finding Bruce so he has to go to a civilian!Tim for help, who has no idea the timeline was changed or that he was ever Robin in a different world. it's gonna be fun and fucked up and full of Damian's jealousy complex over Tim.

i don't know if i can come up with nine whole people to tag for this since i'm still new here but i can try: @searchforahero @divine-dominion @kevin-day-is-bi @kerakeriza @deepwithintheabyss

@maryshellyswife @alicemaem @justmyshittyspace @sandmanwhore and yeah that's all i got.just tagging some mutuals/ppl i see on my posts a lot!!!

[sasheneskywalker]

today i woke up and half of the posts on my dash were jason stans complaining about tim (& tim stans) and the other half were tim stans complaining about jason (& jason stans). i have a feeling something might have happened lol

it's hard existing on bat tumblr as both jason and tim stan and jaytim shipper 😔

[sasheneskywalker]

does anyone know any fics that can teach you some obscure subjects? that are insanely well-researched and focused on a niche and specific topic? that will lead you down a wikipedia rabbit hole trying to understand what the hell the characters are talking about? any fandom, tropes, length ratings and pairings. (i'm tagging fandoms that i'm most interested in)

[sasheneskywalker]

not now honey, mommy's having five different conversations with twelve different people on three different apps

[sasheneskywalker]

i need charlize theron and keanu reeves to co-star in a queer action thriller movie. my life won't be complete until i see it.

[sasheneskywalker]

people who are clearly anti-batcest and anti-dark content but follow me on tumblr and stick around for weeks are so funny. i don't mind it, it's just baffling to me. i have a brujay and a brudick fic rec list linked in my pinned post and reblog 10+ jaytim and jaydick fanarts every day. like why are you here, i don't understand 😭

[sasheneskywalker]

not to vagueblog but reading some posts today made me realize there are two distinct circles of jason todd fans on tumblr and i have no idea what's going on in one of them lol

[sasheneskywalker]

Trick or treat!

i was researching how to create improvised explosives for a jason-centric fic and stumbled upon a declassified usa army's improvised munitions handbook from 1969. the easiest explosive to make that i've found can be done with only sugar, salt, steel pipe, tape, wax and a blasting cap. i didn't know what a no. 8 commercial blasting cap was so i googled it and according to wikipedia: "A number 8 test blasting cap is one containing 2 grams of a mixture of 80 percent mercury fulminate and 20 percent potassium chlorate, or a blasting cap of equivalent strength." naturally, i got curious and wondered if you can make mercury fulminate and potassium chlorate yourself and the answers is yes! there are tutorials on youtube about it (1) (2).

anyway, i'm probably on some kind of watchlist now lol

thank you for the tag, @the-name-of-the-rose <3

rules: answer and tag nine people you want to get to know better and catch up with.

favorite color: black 🖤

last song: Ruelle - The World We Made

currently reading: Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights by Juno Mac and Molly Smith, Mistborn: The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson and a lot of DC comics

currently watching: Watchmen, Arcane, Good Omens, The Boys

currently craving: i'm always craving chocolate lol

coffee or tea: tea. i drink huge amounts of tea every day. coffee has weird effects on my brain, it can give me a headache or fill me with boundless energy or immediately put me to sleep, depending on the positions of the stars and the phase of the moon, i guess. i only sometimes drink it for the taste.

hobby to try: i'm learning knitting and crocheting right now.

current au: too many to count. i think the most interesting one is my omegaverse. i'm writing a universal "omegaverse worldbuilding" doc for all my fics in an effort to conceptualize an internally coherent omegaverse world, similar to our real world. it currently has 17 pages and that's like 10 percent of what i want to include. i'll post a link to it when i finish it.

i was reading an academic paper as part of my research for an essay on incestuous relationships for my philosophy class and it's honesty very thought provoking. i'm posting here the most interesting passages. i'd love to discuss it with someone, feel free to message me or reblog with your thoughts :)

faq 💬

can i message you? yes. i’m always down to talk about characters, ships, fics, ideas and general fandom stuff. send me a tumblr ask, dm me or find me on discord.

do you accept fic prompts/requests? yes, although there’s no guarantee i’ll actually write them.

when will you post/update one of your fics? hopefully before the world-ending apocalypse begins.

do you ship [insert a ship name here]? if they could be described as "complex and toxic" then yes.

why do you make so many lists? i just like collecting and categorizing stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
