im gert, and i like writing fic (my ao3 is biDEMONium) and drawing shit (my instagram is bidemonium). i mostly use he/aer/xem/they pronouns, but as long as you don’t call me she or it, i’m comfortable with pretty much any pronouns
this is currently a the mysterious benedict society blog (ahhh nicholas benedict my beloved) although i also post about the house in the cerulean sea, podcasts, and some other books. and i’m ALWAYS accepting asks and basically any other interaction <33
i’d like to kindly ask that if you want to write a fic based on one of my posts/ideas you ask me first, and credit/link in the author’s note. art’s always welcome, but again, please credit/link if it was based off one of my things <3
I follow back from @/androgymagnus, my main. I have a video games sideblog at @/holowniet. I’m also tracking #usergert but if it’s MBS related honestly I’m almost certainly going to see it anyway.
I also have a twitter (bidemonium) but I've basically not used it yet. I might when season two comes out, though, haven't decided yet. For now it's more to keep an eye out for updates 😭
TAGS
#gertspeak - personal posts or posts where i'm just talkin'. this tag was created on 12/12/21 (lol) and i might go back and tag some old posts but even if i do i'll probably miss some. hell, i might miss some after that date just because im adhd and forgetful lmao. haven't decided if this includes all original posts or just ones non-fandom related, but currently leaning towards the latter because hhhhh
#askbox - asks, anonymous or otherwise! (this does include wip 🌹 asks)
#wip - wip snippets. usually from 🌹 asks, but also just in general.
#snippet - snippets that probably won’t become a full fic
#my writing - my fics, finished, usually just the ao3 links.
#my art - my art, usually shitty doodles and sketches from my sketchbook. they're not very good most of the time, but they're fun at least.
#gert giffer - my terrible adventures in gifmaking. i am not good at it
some other minor tags include #incorrect mbs quotes (what it sounds like) #whumptober2021 (also what it sounds like) #mbs liveblog (won't be updated for quite some time for obvious reasons)
as well as just normal character tags (i think you'll find #nicholas benedict to be one of the most occupied, for example, and i keep forgetting it has a tag now but my #nicholas/milligan agenda is gaining steam, also sometimes tagged #mysteriousfisherman courtesy of peachygos my beloved) and tags such as #tag games and #mmc (for “make me choose” gifsets)
I know DNIs are functionally useless as most people won’t respect them, but know that I’ll be blocking any bigots (yes, that includes exclusionists and TERFs and transmeds/truscum) as well as “pr*-sh*ppers”/”anti-antis” (PARTICULARLY “MAP supporter” types).
Also, full disclosure, if you post a lot of negativity for the show, I’ll probably block you just because I really don’t want to see that. It’s nothing personal, this is just kind of my hyperfixation / comfort thing right now.

-Theory (they/spade)
i. don't recall getting this ask but i found it buried when i was clearing out (reading: saving to drafts in case i ever manage to do any of them) a bunch of ask prompts. and it's from. checks notes. 2023??!????? IM SO SORRY
i do understand. reynie is so autism. it's very relatable. he's a great character

"should we tell authors on ao3 when we have discord conversations about their fics" i don't speak for everyone here but if y'all ever find a group chat discussing my fics you can should must and WILL send me screenshots of the whole damn thing. inflate my ego. gimme
this whole thing with people discussing a fic in secret, on closed discord servers, instead of leaving a nice comment, is such a loss for fandom. we're losing fic writers with every fic with hundreds of hits and barely a comment.
writers publish to be read. fanfic is meant to be a conversation.
I say this very gently and with much love, and I say it not only as a writer myself but as someone who has been privy to many 'but how can they not know that work is amazing! I love it! I gushed about it to every friend I have and recced in x, y, z servers and [...]'
The writer or artist doesn't know this.
They have no way of knowing that you found their work beautiful and lifechanging or even just a bright spot on a bad day or that you think about it every day or that you told all your friends about it, and those things are great, but we have no way of knowing them! You may not be doing it intentionally, but you're excluding the writer or artist from the community feeling of fandom that you are carrying on (that is so great! fandom is a community! continue to talk and play!) even with their work.
Please, please just drop a line even that is "oh gosh I absolutely love this work, I screamed to every one of my friends about it when I first read/saw it!" even if you don't have the spoons to share more of the specifics that made you flail at your friends or what you said in private. (Though if you do, we will love you forever for it.)
Please include me in the conversations and let me know if you like my fics/where it's being discussed, it's disheartening to know someone somewhere is talking about it and I have no idea </3
Oh, definitely include authors in your conversations! We’re not faceless entities. We’re people, just like you, who have struggled to get words on pages, and who anxiously refresh AO3 waiting for those comments that may never cube because you’re discussing it elsewhere. Yes, even your favorite writers. Even the ones you perceive are popular. Tell. Writers. We are just like you and we want to know when our story is being loved on.
Comments are life to an author. Even if you comment with a ❤️ emoji, it tells me you took the time to do more than “press the kudo button”.
And sometimes, if you comment, that author will comment back and you can start a conversation and meet a new friend. Because that’s what fandom is. Fandom is community. Fandom is not faceless pushing a button and moving on.
There is no algorithm in fandom. There are genuine people who love a thing and love to get together and talk about a thing.
Let writers know their story is one of those things!
