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
Iâm 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, havenât 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
Iâll update this info post as needed, DMs and Asks are always open!

Trans men do face misogyny? So do cis men? What. What planet are you from where only cis women and trans women are affected by misogyny. A man being a man wrong is part of the definition of misogyny... bc theyre being a man "like a woman" like... what are you talking about.
also like to give a more serious answer men being impacted by patriarchal structures doesnt mean men âexperience misogynyâ. to give a hopefully more obvious to a misogynist comparison, just because able bodied people are impacted by a lack of accessibility features doesnt mean âeveryone experiences ableismâ does it? and like. the implication that âbeing a man âwrongâ equates to âbeing a womanââ is somehow a line of thinking that exclusively or even primarily impacts men is so absurd. its literally the idea that being a woman is a failure. how have you come to the conclusions you have this is insane lmfao

donât tell me you love toxic yuri unless youâve been in the trenches trying to find actual yuri (manga/anime) content that isnât written by and/or for men

Do you think there's any man in house md who doesn't fetishize yuri?
well anon that depends what you mean by âyuriâ. If youâre talking yuri in the original sense (gl manga), most of it exists as fetish content in the first place, designed for the male gaze so if the men are absorbing this kind of material then I mean. itâs fetishy by nature but no different than the average person reading smutfic.
if weâre talking âlesbians simply existingâ or âlesbian content that isnât meant for the male gazeâ then the men of house md are about as normal about it as you can expect. house canonically watches The L Word muted. what these men choose to view in their own brains as sexually attractive isnât hurting anybody. women are beautiful.
if we take the real meaning and harm of fetishizing âyuriââviewing lesbians as objects for men to objectify and not acknowledging them as human beings and respecting their identitiesâthen Iâm pretty sure none of the men of house m.d. are actually doing that. sure, the occasional comment is made by house, but he finds ways to be derogatory to everyone pretty indiscriminately.
tldr: they probably fetishize fetish content a normal amount and are normal to queer women
#love this answer but also want to point out cranky style#that we're not anime characters it isn't âyuriâ#it's lesbians. it's wlw. whatever#do they fetishize yuri? no because they don't know what yuri is#do they watch fake lesbian girl on girl porn? probably @all-pacas
no for real because as a manga/anime enjoyer this does bug me. yuri exists as a category of manga/anime and is primarily catered to male viewers. in modern day it isnât as bad but it still is a large majority. the term itself has been mostly associated since the 90s with explicit manga depicting lesbians. nowadays i see it used often to refer to literally any fictional content depicting a f/f relationship but it does still have that connotation. itâs a category.

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.

Itâs 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 âyou need a doctorâs note to excuse your absence of even one dayâ combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like âyouâre still contagious even after the fever goes awayâ, and the overwhelming message of âif you donât struggle through it, youâre a failure!â
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. Iâve 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 townâs was borderline fucking dystopian. They asked me why I didnât just âpostponeâ a surgery at one pointâ when I was fifteenâ 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 âyup, youâve 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.â
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, âno, you cannot leave this house, and do not scratch the bumps please.â 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. âAh, well perhaps they didnât know,â you may very well say. âMaybe his parents didnât notice!â No. No, they noticed. In fact they KNEW it was CHICKEN POX. They sent him to school anyway.
The kidâs parentsâŚâŚ.. were, in fact, teachers at the school. And they KNOWINGLY made him go to school sick, because they didnât want to risk hurting his precious âperfect attendanceâ record. They figured that since he wasnât, 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 âcouldnât afford to missâ. 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. Itâs dangerous. Food service workers are forced to show up sick, little kids are forced to show up sick, college students show up sick because theyâre afraid of flunking out.
And on top of it all, misinformation campaigns are encouraging people not to get vaccinations! Itâs 2019 and weâre flirting with the plague! Next thing you know some blogger is gonna be like âactually we should all be fucking rats and eating our meat raw, death to all science and god bless americaâ
