writing: ocverse

aka the greater boston polycule [ao3 link]
slice of life shenanigans without a big narrative arc. they’re just vibing.

masochistic sub and mean sadistic dom. slightly dysfunctional, highly undernegotiated: #otp: sleep paralysis #fia tag #helena tag

writing: warcrimes au

aka the evil mirrorverse [ao3 link]
(yes one day i might give it a proper title)

grimy scifi setting, the evil terran empire vs the scrappy rebels. for now almost exclusively focused on a mad scientist war criminal, because she’s just the coolest.

some gore, some fluff, some drama, and a whole lot of unhinged smut.

writing: other

#fnv au courier mika & her wasteland adventures. silly idea that somehow turned into a bunch of fics
#comms for me all the amazing art i got of those idiots (it’s mostly mika and helena lol)

and just to note, i am always super fucking elated about random asks and or tag games and shit when it comes to my idiot squad.

Monogamous people with dozens of exes and the most horrifying relationship history you've ever heard of in your entire life: "Well I just can't support polyamory, because those relationships never work out"

it's always tragic when fandom universally decides one member of the m/m ship du jour is The Top and the other is The Bottom. like first of all i need a nutritiously balanced diet. you're giving me yaoi scurvy. but it's doubly tragic when, if we accept this hypothetical world without switches, they're wrong about who would be topping whom

people have started misinterpreting me in the notes so to clarify: i'm not complaining about individual authors writing characters with preferences about what sex acts they want to perform. i'm saying when there is an obvious consensus across dozens of different fic authors that they are having penetrative sex and one guy always tops and one guy always bottoms based on nothing but vibes, that doesn't happen in a vacuum and often betrays a certain reading of the characters that i sometimes disagree with. anyway thank you all for enjoying the phrase "yaoi scurvy" i'm very proud of it

to be honest, i only personally care about plotholes when they appear in writing i already have a bunch of other problems with. if i like something enough, i'll give it a pass/invent an explanation in my head. i can't find the exact quote, but roger ebert said something about this. to paraphrase: "the movie's problem wasn't [such and such inconsistency], its problem was that i was bored enough to be thinking about that."

academic affront

#fff recap

this was so fun to write but took *research*. first i was scouring through the notes of some tumblr post what the best scholarly/academic insults are, and then i had to seriously think about how Helena would insult someone, because ofc she doesn’t just call someone an asshole. and i still think “this invertebrate masquerading as a research scientist” is a+++++. i love Helena being mad as hell because she’s usually so calm lmao.

she can have a little murder, as a treat <3
