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!

cuddy's unattainable standards frequently feature in my thoughts. she strives to achieve everything that could be asked of a woman (because at the end of the day it's always a gender thing with me) she needs the best career, to be a mother, to be a wife. she wants these things for other reasons obviously, but there's definitely something to be said about her needing these things so badly because she thinks she should. she thinks that they will make her whole, they will make her worthy of something- anything. to me, it seems like at her core, cuddy struggles with her self-worth and a certain part of her believes that if she can just achieve Everything that could ever be expected of a woman, then she could consider herself a Good Woman. a worthy person.
the thing is that she can never reach her goal. she has the career so then she must have the child. she has the child so she must have the right romantic partner. she never gets that final thing. but even if she did i don't think that would have been enough. i don't think she would ever allow herself to think that she's enough.
It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”
On my campus there tends to be a problem where even I you have the doctors note professors will still take points off of your final grade regardless of how sick you are. I’ve seen people show up to class with the stomach flu, pneumonia, respiratory infections and all sorts of other contagious ailments.
The school system I grew up in put an absolutely ungodly amount of pressure on kids to Show Up Every Day No Matter What. Many schools are like this, but looking back, my town’s was borderline fucking dystopian. They asked me why I didn’t just “postpone” a surgery at one point— when I was fifteen— to give you an idea of how monumentally obtuse these people were.
So, in elementary school, I started having chicken pox symptoms, right? They were mild because I was vaccinated (yay!) but my mom recognized them quickly and took me to the doctor, because my mom is a reasonable human being with standards. The doctor said “yup, you’ve got those pox, it may seem mild but please for the love of god DO NOT take her to school, she is very contagious even though she may FEEL okay.”
So I had to stay home from school until I got clearance from my doctor to go back. I was an angry little gremlin the whole time, because I wanted to go to the school library and read books about the human skull, but my mother said, “no, you cannot leave this house, and do not scratch the bumps please.” So I sat at home and tried not to scratch the bumps, like a good little gremlin.
A few days into my Chicken Pox Related House Arrest, we got a letter from the school. I was far from the only person with chicken pox, as it so happened. Like… a tenth of my second grade class had Confirmed Pox. We all fell ill within DAYS of each other.
So how did this happen, you ask? Well, a kid had chicken pox, and he came to school anyway. “Ah, well perhaps they didn’t know,” you may very well say. “Maybe his parents didn’t notice!” No. No, they noticed. In fact they KNEW it was CHICKEN POX. They sent him to school anyway.
The kid’s parents…….. were, in fact, teachers at the school. And they KNOWINGLY made him go to school sick, because they didn’t want to risk hurting his precious “perfect attendance” record. They figured that since he wasn’t, like, Literally Dying, it was better for him not to miss school. Never mind the fact that they were actively endangering hundreds of little kids.
Fast forward to my freshman year of college. A kid came to class with mumps because he ‘couldn’t afford to miss’. Guess what happened? Mumps outbreak! Diseases are, as it turns out, good at being diseases! Vaccinations are phenomenal, but they can only do so much, and some people rely on herd immunity to not be killed by preventable illness.
This entire attitude needs to die. It’s dangerous. Food service workers are forced to show up sick, little kids are forced to show up sick, college students show up sick because they’re afraid of flunking out.
And on top of it all, misinformation campaigns are encouraging people not to get vaccinations! It’s 2019 and we’re flirting with the plague! Next thing you know some blogger is gonna be like “actually we should all be fucking rats and eating our meat raw, death to all science and god bless america”

woc characters get put on a pedestal in their fandoms in a way that is so boring and itself kinda dehumanising. i dont just wanna hear about how they’re flawless queens, i want them to feel specific and real. and i understand why it happens, especially with younger fans, but fandom of these characters that’s oriented more around defending them from haters rather than engaging with them (beyond empty, repetitive adulation) is so… limiting and profoundly boring. you could explore these characters on their own merit instead you neglect any potential interiority, humanity, complexity in favour of letting rando haters be a hair trigger and building your faves up as impenetrable fortresses against them. and then its just girlboss with a coat of brown paint
tumblr users vs not reblogging a post that doesn’t apply to them I don’t care if u read ur favs taking it up the ass Why would you reblog this just to be like #and what if i do #THEN THIS ISNT ABOUT YOU
I don't read as much fic as I used to but one "tell" for non Canadians writing us, besides the etransfer, is the units you use to describe us measuring something. I hate to tell you this but The Chart is real and it's completely subconscious. Please abide

I just wrote 8 pages when I haven't written in months and was beginning to think I'd never be able to again. Idk what it is, but I am sharing and manifesting this energy for every writer who sees this. May you write 8 quality pages effortlessly and find joy writing once more
Of all the character arcs in House M.D. I think the ending I’m most satisfied with is Thirteen. It’s one of the few times I’ve had a favourite character leave and been genuinely happy with how they left. I feel so much joy watching House fire Thirteen and seeing her leave with Amy because that’s exactly where she needs to be—she’s happy, she’s in love, she’s enjoying her life and wants to make the most of the time she has left. She gets to control her life and do what she wants, rather than staying with House out of guilt or obligation to use her skills as a doctor. The way House fires her and essentially sets her free of any guilt—he’s firing her, therefore she’s not quitting—shows how much he genuinely cares for her. Overall her departure in Charity Case is so beautiful to me and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
it’s also effectively recontextualizes her short stint in season seven as a kind of trauma response rather than an unfortunate consequence of olivia wilde’s filming schedule. she seems kind of adrift in the dig, and she lands back with house almost because she needed the distraction and the familiar environment. but in the remainder of the season, she is more cynical than she’s ever been—to an extent even house isn’t comfortable with. house going to prison was actually kind of great for her because it forced her to make changes in her life—and for the better.

it is kind of great the way sleeping dogs lie treated the couple (for the time) because it wasn’t a big deal?? house only makes maybe one comment about them being lesbians and that’s it. otherwise they’re a completely normal couple. No weird jokes or fetishization, they’re just normal people. normalizing queer relationships in 2006.
