TAGlist post

So, I've tried to - clumsily - make fandom friends here by randomly tagging people in various fic promo and work progress posts, which a little nice birdie tells me is not proper netiquette. So, we won't be doing that anymore.

Instead, I'll be trying this tag list thingy - so, if you want to be kept in the loop over here about what I get up to fanworks-wise (writing and arts and vids) via AO3 shares or progress posts, this is the place to tell me. This is and shall remain a multifandom space, please keep that in mind.

Anyone who's on here right now? I added you because you've interacted with one or more of those posts in the recent past. I'm not a prolific fanworker so I won't be inundating your dash and if something isn't your thing (anymore... yet?), you can just let it pass you by, no problemo.

If you still don't want to be on the list, comment 'optout' here and I'll take you off, no muss no fuss. Anyone who wants to join, please like or comment or reblog. Hoookay. So, I hope this is better.

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info

  • there are 14 asks in my inbox from the last ~5 days
  • 9 anons, 5 logged in users
  • ALL 14 show pfps, including the 9 anons
  • ALL THE SHOWN PROFILE PICTURES BELONG TO THE 5 LOGGED IN USERS

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!

horniest battle moments:

- taking your ally's weapon out of their scabard to use yourself

- using someone else's shoulder as a rifle stand

- nudging someone's chin up with the tip of your weapon

- freezing with your blades against one another's throats, breathing into each other's mouths

A "reciprocal tariff" implies that the country we target with it is tariffing us. The problem is the countries listed on that damned board are NOT tariffing us like that. The White House took the trade deficit we have with the countries, divided it by their exports to us, and is claiming that is the tariff percentage that country has levied against us. Tariffing them all half of that hogwash number then seems like we are being lenient or leveling the playing field to anyone who accepts this as fact.

We aren't punishing them for tariffing us. We are punishing ourselves for buying more from a country than we sell to it.

This is something all advanced economies do. Advanced economies import food and cheap goods, and export technology and services.

Every single advanced economy on earth has trade deficits with some of the countries it buys goods from.

They are counting on you to not care or not understand this.

Korea is listed as 50 percent tariffs against us on that stupid chart.

On average Korea tariffs us at less than 1 percent and has a free trade agreement with us.

We are reacting with a 25 percent blanket tariff.

Just because they made Donald a chart does not make the data on that chart TRUE.

We are a uniquely strong global superpower, some of these countries will be forced to play ball. That doesn't make this the truth. And the truth used to matter here.

The truth is the steel mills aren't coming back and the auto-factories are going to use 5 and 6-axis robots to assemble their cars, not us.

I beg you. Look into these numbers. Tariffs this broad and this strong nearly starved your great-grandparents a hundred years ago. We had to put niacin in the food to prevent pellegra.

You owe it to them to understand what's actually happening.

No bald option, you have to pick.

I skipped some, like gay!Eddie, that I thought would overshadow everything else; a few others that have died on screen since I first had the idea of this poll (RIP Ravi thinking Buddie are divorced exes and passenger princess Eddie), some I consider proven already (Maddie knows) as well as some I personally don't like (firehouse bet).

Pros of re-reading your own fic

  • a good time;
  • Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;
  • Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;
  • just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

  • Is that another TYpO

writer questions

tagged by @spotsandsocks, thank you my friend

1. How many works on AO3? 176

2. Total AO3 word count? 977,215

3. Top 5 fics by kudos? Queer Robins Club (DC Comics, M, 4.9k) give me a sign, I want you next to me (Buddie, T, 7k) let me see them tan lines (Buddie, T, 2.8k) loves a game, wanna play? (Buddie, M, 57k) Like James Dean, Only Sadder (Sterek, T, 3.8k)

4. What fandoms do you write for? Currently primarily 911 and TGM, mostly Buddie and Hangster respectively, though I still dabbled in the Sterek fandom and I've had the itch to write SamBucky again too.

5. Do you respond to comments? I try to respond to every comment :)

6. Angstiest ending? Not exactly angsty, but probably keep on whispering in my ear.

7. Fic with the happiest ending? Most of my endings are happy, but I'll say I should be pushing daisies because Buck goes through it and then gets a happy ending.

8. Do you get hate? I have in the past, but not so much recently. Unless you count people yelling at me over cliffhangers :)

9. Do you write smut? Maybe too much smut. Actually who am I kidding, there's no such thing.

10. Do you write crossovers? I've written exactly one crossover. Back Alley Deals is a Stiles Stilinski/Jason Todd crack fic that I love so much.

11. Ever had a fic stolen? Back in the Teen Wolf days, yes.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! Several.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic? No, but I'd love to try it one day.

14. All time favourite ship? Either Buddie, Sterek, or SamBucky

15. WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will? My buddie WITSEC fic. It's sitting at something like 20k and I just lost the beans for it.

16. Writing strengths? Dialogue and character voices probably. Something like 6 months ago @rosieposiepuddingnpie told me that she's read my work for 4 or 5 ships and all of them sound different and unique and I am holding onto that compliment with both hands for the rest of my life.

17. Writing weaknesses? I overuse the em dash and semicolon and sometimes get too caught up in dialogue instead of actually writing plot.

18. Thoughts on mixed language dialogue? I don't write it mostly because I only speak English and don't want to rely on a translation app for my writing.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Wrote for? Harry Potter. Posted fic for REDACTED

20. Favourite fic you've ever written? It's probably recency bias but write our names in the wet concrete is truly my favourite thing I've ever written. It has plot and subplots. There's narrative arcs. There's distinct character growth. It's 158k so I hope Iike it, I spent 4 months of my life writing it and editing it. I really love Hangster's canon dynamic, but since there's so little actual source material I got to take that dynamic and really make it and the characters my own which was so fun.

Runner up loves a game, wanna play? because it marries to things I love, Buddie and Love Island.

They’re scared because they know that the public is with Luigi.

They’re violating his rights because they need to maintain capitalism.

Keep talking about Luigi.

“The dossier adds that the public ‘may view the ensuing manhunt and subsequent arrest of Mangione as NYPD, and largely policing as a whole, as a tool that is willing to expend massive resources to protect the wealthy, while the average citizen is left to their own means for personal security.’”

"They might see what is objectively true."

reminder that luigi is innocent and there is bo evidence and yet he is facing the death penalty
