sparrow/lyta - over 25 - ey/em/they/them - aroace & polyaffectionate - mostly ds9, babylon 5, and severance - all my blorbos have institutional trauma, yes all of them - mutuals can DM for religion/alterhumanity sideblogs - Free Palestine 🇵🇸
sparrow roguetelepathsey/em or they/them - read my DS9 postcanon fic where Odo adopts a Vorta daughter

used to be enbygesserit, follows from helplessnessxblues

old enough to remember when neopets breakfast cereal was a thing

aroace to a terrifying degree. not the cool kind that writes smut and passes out water bottles at the orgy, either. sorry

intersex (nCAH) (diagnosed professionally at 15) and currently working through medical trauma and neglect related to that

no gender we die like [tv static]

psychospiritually nonhuman, but I don't talk about it here — DM me if you want to know where I do

vaguely anarchist & emphatically against all forms of punishment as foundations for interpersonal relationships

on bluesky! @justiceforlyta.bsky.social

I also have a more serious™ blog off of tumblr, you can find it here

psychiatric survivor and ex-patient. madpunk, psychpunk, neurodivergent in the original radical anti-pathologization meaning of the term. the social model isn't ableist you guys are just willfully misinterpreting it

on team "believe others about their subjective experiences". yes, this includes that subjective experience you're about to send me anon hate telling me is absolutely just kids roleplaying for attention. wishing medicalists of all kinds a very merry go fuck yourselves. yes this includes sysmeds, what part of believe others about their subjective experiences don't you understand

my stance on proship/anti discourse can be summed up as "fiction may not literally be reality but it also can't be separated from the context of reality and it's good to foster an environment where that context can be openly talked about" and "freedom of fiction doesn't really exist without freedom of response" and "dislike and disgust are not indicators of morality but they also shouldn't be ignored or repressed, especially since they can teach you useful things about yourself" and "criticize ideas and works, not people" — some people call this neutralship but I've been known to describe myself as a pro-disliker or a pro-critic. that being said if I see you shipping weyoun and odo in a romantic/sexual way I will block you so hard and fast that your ancestors will feel it. same goes with snowbaird. I am a tolerant person but I do not want those things in my space

other important stances: occupied peoples have the right to armed resistance. the pandemic never ended, we just all stopped talking about it. all trans people face unique oppression based on their identity and positionality within society, and all trans people have common struggles.

update to unreality tag policy: I will be tagging things that usually get tagged as unreality as #surrealism going forward. this is a compromise to respect both my personal belief in the multilayered nature of reality and the needs of vulnerable people to be protected from content that doesn't align with shared reality. please block #surrealism if you have #unreality blocked.

fandoms you can expect to see (I care about themes and analysis over shipping, and when I do ship, it's always an extension of the themes I want to explore, so be prepared for me to be a pretentious piece of shit about all of these):

  • DS9 (especially the Dominion) (I have a discord server for this)
  • Babylon 5 (mostly telepaths but not exclusively. NOT a psi corps apologist in any way, just a season 5 telepath commune arc liker, which is almost as bad to some)
  • Dune
  • Severance
  • The Hunger Games & related media
  • Cult of the Lamb

non-media interests (may or may not post about these, honestly, it's anyone's guess, but feel free to tag me in these):

  • fucked up unethical pseudoscientific social experiments, the more fucked up unethical and pseudoscientific the better
  • relationship anarchy
  • aroace, trans, and intersex issues
  • disability rights, psychiatry criticism, and cognitive liberty
  • community building
  • apartment solarpunk
  • Scouting and related youth organizations
  • worldbuilding and writing advice
  • Heathenry and Norse mythology (though that's more likely to go on @heathen-starspawn)

mixing some drinks to renew my gender reveal, whichever taste i find peace with will choose my path

midway check-in: the pink one tastes pink and by god the blue one tastes blue. when you drink them both together it tastes distinctly like pineapple. there is no pineapple in either one

okay i have consumed both to their fullest extent and i have come to the conclusjion that i….am….

DRUNK!!

pronouns are he/hinebriated

y’all are gonna make me regret this post in the morning arent you

y’all are gonna make

me regret this post in the

morning arent you

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

any computer people wanna explain how the hell this works

it wont let me do shit bc i apparently have 81 gigs of apps clogging my c drive, but my largest app is 0.4gb?????? its not system applications either because system is its own segment of storage. wadda hell are you talking about

guys i installed a program to show me exactly where the data is hidden and i think i found it and youre never gonna believe it

todd howard im fucking coming for you

Here's your friendly neighborhood trans girl programer to tell you WinDirStat is a free open source alternative and you don't have to sign in to the annoying microsoft app store!

Any setting where the elves have weaker booze than the dwarves isn't committing to the bit

I mean, we're talking about people whose lifespan is Yes.

"Oh, the weak wine? That is for children. I am two thousand years old, and I daresay one sip from this highball would knock you on your ass for a week."

Look, there's this weird thing people do with high fantasy where they want elves to be immortal/extremely long-lived snooty aristocrats and also somehow incapacitated by imagining the taste of salt too hard. "Orcs and dwarves have the hardest booze" no they don't, they have work in the morning! In any of these settings, elves would pregame harder than hobbits party and everyone else has shit to do tomorrow.

The average high elf builds up the drug tolerance of a mid-70s Hollywood producer and then spends three centuries studying alchemy. While humans seek immortality, the Immortals seek the elusive "philosopher's cocaine."

Elf Fentanyl works exactly the way cops think human fentanyl does

If I was desperate for kudos I would not be out here posting villain ships, minor character rarepairs, and other deeply unpopular ships.

I know how to write popular fic. I know how to farm kudos. That's not what I'm here for.

"Readers need to remember that authors don't know a reader liked their fic unless the reader tells them by leaving a kudos or a comment" does not mean "waahhh waahhh I need attention!"

It means "even if writers write purely for themselves, if you don't bother to interact with writers when you do enjoy their work, they might stop posting and just keep their work to themselves."

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who aren't reading the fanfiction in question.

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who did not enjoy the fanfiction in question.

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is aimed at people who read a fanfiction, enjoyed it, and then didn't bother to even do the bare minimum to share their excitement about it with the work's creator, even though that excitement is literally the only thing they get in return for posting their work.

Fanfiction authors write because they enjoy writing. They post because they want to form a connection with the people who enjoyed their work.

This is not an attempt to scold anyone, I literally don't care if I get kudos or not. It's simply an attempt to remind people that fanfiction is a community, and fan authors can't read your mind.

My headcanon about Harmony Cobel's shop, as well as many of the other small business in Kier, PE that seem unconnected to Lumon but still have a definite Eagan sensibility. Probably a lot of them were bought up by Lumon in the end anyway.

In my mind I connect decisions like this to Leonora's unusually short tenure as CEO and the probable foul play involved in her death. She girlbossed too close to the sun in a way that prioritized the growth of the Eagan religion over the growth of the Eagans' monetary worth and Jame absolutely killed her for it.

Is this me drawing a parallel between Harmony Cobel and Leonora Eagan, two ambitious and deeply imperfect women who were ultimately destroyed by the system to which they were both fanatically devoted? I mean, maybe.

highblood: and why the fuck should i let you tell me not to kill people

lowblood whos about to invent moirallegiance: oh, havent you heard?

I have no idea what this is referencing but this is definitely the plot to Nietzche’s Genealogy of Morals

Isekai except the fantasy world is literally just like a ten minute hike away from everything else and has just explicitly never been found.

The protagonist gets hit by a truck but instead of dying they roll down a comically tall hill through like a mile of woods and then they wake up in a fantasy village

sorry for not understanding typical romantic conventions it will happen again

Sorry for throwing popular ships into the garbage bin and replacing them with rarepairs, family dynamics and qprs, it will happen again.

YES!!!!!!!

Gareth West, CEO of Ketchup Entertainment, said today: “We’re thrilled to have made a deal with Warner Bros. Pictures to bring this film to audiences worldwide. Coyote Vs. Acme is a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern storytelling, capturing the essence of the beloved Looney Tunes characters while introducing them to a new generation. We believe it will resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers alike.” Directed by David Green and written by May December scribe Samy Burch, the film is produced by Chris deFaria and DC Studios co-boss James Gunn. The filmis based on the Looney Tunes characters and the New Yorker humor article “Coyote v. Acme” by Ian Frazier. Will Forte, John Cena, Lana Condor and Tone Bell star in the movie, which follows Wile E. Coyote, who, after Acme products fail him one too many times in his dogged pursuit of the Roadrunner, decides to hire a billboard lawyer to sue the Acme Corporation. The case pits Wile E. and his lawyer (Forte) against the latter’s intimidating former boss (Cena), but a growing friendship between man and cartoon stokes their determination to win.
