probably time I post an actual about-me post so here it goes:
Basic Info:
Kira, a late-20s disaster lesbian (she/her), Canadian
ADHD & mood disorders aplenty
I’m a writer, I have a college diploma in Professional Writing, and I will occasionally ramble about my writing (but rarely post any actual writing) - writing blog is @scytheswrites
My interests/hyperfixations change fairly regularly and I have no interest in creating individual blogs for each of my fandoms, so this blog is very much multi-fandom (but I always tag my fandom posts respectively for filtering purposes)
Current Interests/Fandoms/Hyperfixations:
House M.D. (multiship hell but nuts about camchase. I love all of the house ladies but primarily Thirteen and Cameron, accepting my fate as a Cameron Guy. Also a Chase guy, despite all odds)
Currently reading: Project Hail Mary
Other books: ASOIAF (finished main series June 2026, have yet to read Fire & Blood)
Longtime Interests/Fandoms:
Games: Dragon Age, Soulsbornes & Elden RIng, Fire Emblem, BG3, Zero Escape trilogy
Marvel (MCU and comics, haven’t seen all of the recent MCU content though)
Music: my taste is all over the place but my lifelong favorite artist is Paramore (late 2000s-early 2010s emo kid here), but i listen to all sorts of pop, alt, metal, k-pop, etc etc
Books: Faves are The Locked Tomb series, The Burning Kingdoms Trilogy, The Priory of the Orange Tree, & the Iron Widow series.
Ancient Interests/Fandoms (My Lore):
Twilight (I will still occasionally shitpost about Twilight)
Superwholock (but primarily Doctor Who, which will forever be in my heart and on my mind)
Carmilla (web series)
Orphan Black
I’ll update this info post as needed, DMs and Asks are always open!

also like tbh some of you do textual analysis of characters as if they were real people with relevant parts of their lives unknown to us. which is just, not how that works. to use lesbian cameron as an example: is it possible that there’s a real life human being out there who is having regular and enthusiastic sex with men to the extent that cameron does who is a lesbian experiencing comphet? probably. sure. the human experience is vast and complex. but cameron is not a real person. she is a character on a show who is operating as a narrative device to communicate something. and we are expected to assume that what we learn about that character— or, in cases, something deliberately and obviously concealed about them— is all the relevant information we need to draw conclusions about their characterization and their function in the story. calling cameron a lesbian requires the assumption of a lot of internal feelings on her part that we have legitimately zero evidence of, both in terms of lack of attraction to men AND attraction to women. if she were a real person, sure, maybe those things are just going on out of the public’s eye. but when you start assuming that things could just be going on without the audience knowing with literally NO evidence to back it up… you’re just making things up. sorry! like, imagine if you did that in an english class or something. imagine basing a serious character interpretation off of something that MIGHT have happened that we weren’t privy to and has no evidence suggesting it. like… you can’t do that! make AUs til you die but like, you’re not engaging with the text and i’d like it if you stopped pretending that you are.
the thing i keep thinking about is the idea of "we can reinterpret characters through lenses." because like! yes! we totally can! that's my hobby! to use amber as an easy example: she was not called bitch as an empowerment or fond nickname; it was meant to be offensive and demeaning at the time. we can recognize this and discuss it through this context: what does it mean for the character and show at the time, to call her a bitch? how might amber be shaped by and react to this? how do her words and appearance and actions reflect his negative perception? what does it mean to look at her with a modern, feminist lens, or from a perspective where "bitch" comes off more fondly/empowering than the writer's intended?
we can absolutely do this with cameron, too. but that isn't what is being done. if she is a lesbian, why does she throw herself completely and obsessively into pursuing men, in working her ass off to make chase happy? how do you frame that with her enjoyment of sex (with men)? is chase the exception? the first time she HAS been attracted to a man? is she trying Too Hard, and does that inform her desperation to keep him but also fear of commitment? what does that look like if true? a lot of characters on house -- nearly all of them, but cameron very much so -- struggle with perception and expectations. cameron is very, very concerned with Doing Things Right And Correctly. would she perceive gayness as incorrect? not in a "oh i kissed a girl and yay i'm gay" way, but in terms of an actual struggle? how would cameron, who likes order and control and to be in control, deal with an identity shake-up?
but just as if i said "amber is actually really bubbly and outgoing, she just pretends to be cold and ruthless, she's the sweetest and nicest and shyest person ever" would require a lot of explanation and evidence -- or a long fanfic developing her growing into this -- so would a similar reinterpretation of cameron. if you want to say "i want to interpret her as a lesbian," you have to do it within the framework that is already there. go for it. have fun! "i want to imagine this character like X." amazing! do it! "and so i am going to ignore 90% of their actions and feelings." that isn't really interpretation. that's a different guy.

I love how whenever ATLA recognizes Sokka is smart enough to solve a problem but it’d be too fast they just stick him in some kind of situation. Like he COULD’VE stopped jet from drowning a town so they tied him up and dumped him in a forest. He COULD’VE figured out what that spirits deal was so they lost him in the spirit world for 24 hours.
This is how writers should deal with characters who are too smart for the arc instead of making them suddenly dumber for no apparent reason.
If you frequently find yourself in random situations while your friends happen to be experiencing problems maybe you, too, are too smart for the narrative.
