“Let them watch. I know something of cages."

Do you have discord/youtube/twitch/reddit/AO3?

yes/yes/yes/nope/yes! Links above for everything I have in 2025, minus discord, which is for friends only, and twitter, which I don't use anymore.

If anyone claims to be me on instagram, tiktok, or reddit, they're lying. I'm not pretty enough for instagram or tiktok. And reddit scares the shit out of me.

(Reddit seems to be the new google these days, though, so I guess I'll have to get on there someday if I ever want to beg people for fanfics on a site that's not dreamwidth.)

2. do you have ko-fi/patreon?

I do have a ko-fi, but I don't feel comfortable sharing it for two reasons:

I don't update my fanfics regularly enough to institute tiers and previews and all those things

I'm not 100% comfortable with the whole "making money off your free-use hobby" thing. And never will be. I'm too much of a fandom old, ig.

3. I sent you an ask/submission! And it's been a while, and you haven't posted it. Are you ignoring me? 🥲

Nope! It takes me a long time sometimes to get back to asks, partly because of Life and partly because sometimes I enjoy your asks so much that I just. marinate them. in the box for a while. It's not you, it's me.

You may send one (1) gentle reminder to me if there's something you really need me to see and respond to.

I'm not sharing donation requests I get through asks, though. I would much rather reblog posts directly from the blog to increase their reach.

4. Do you have a queue or are you online constantly, posting?

90% of what you see is from a month-old queue because I consistently have a billion drafts I'm trying to get pushed to that queue. So my blog is actually a lot more active than I am.

5. What's the best way to search your blog for [fandom thing I want to see if you also care about]?

Search this link and go forth from there. You can also check the backup masterposts I made here and here.

6. Will you change your blog theme?

Yes, and when you least expect it. I'm always searching for the perfect theme.

7. Why do you still talk about Harry Potter in this day and age?

Because I am perfectly and consistently able to despise JKR, despise all TERFs and radfems, and still enjoy the fandom portion of the HP series. I don't purchase any official items anymore, I don't watch the movies when they get pushed to my cable subscription, I dropped HBOMax (or whatever the fuck they call themselves these days), and I pray daily for the downfall of the TV show. I write fanfiction and write/reblog meta. That's it.

Trans rights are human rights. Knowledge is power. Gender has progressed beyond grade school biology and so should we all.

7a. I don't think you should still talk or write about HP, though.

We are all welcome to our opinions. If you are uncomfortable with this dichotomy, you're welcome to block me.

8. Should I follow you if I'm—?

Okay. Listen. I'm not one of those people who's like "MINORS DNI" (I think that's dumb, sorry) or "IF YOU DO THIS DON'T FOLLOW ME" (unless it's conservatives. sorry, I live around enough of y'all. I cannot stand more of you online).

Anyone is free to follow my blogs or sideblogs. I am from the time where you curated your own internet experience, mostly because you HAD to, and I believe strongly in that even now. You will not find purity culture bullshit here.

However. For my own peace of mind, even if you follow me first, I am probably going to block you if I suspect or determine that you are one of the following:

A conservative or libertarian (whether you're an orange-supporter or not)

A TERF/radfem (y'all do not speak for me and you are eternally my enemies)

A bigot

A porn bot

A spam blog (the types that are selling crypto shit or other fake nonsense)

A christofascist

And you may even get hit with the block if you bash characters I happen to adore. Sometimes it's easier to block blogs than to blacklist tags, because anyone who's been on tumblr longer than 2 seconds knows that their blacklist is NOT foolproof.

But otherwise, pull up a chair or whatever.

9. I love your fanfic [insert name here]! Are you ever going to update it?

Thank you! And... unless I die suddenly, yes, I will update That Fic You're Thinking About.

9a. Why is it taking so long for you to update?

I have been on an unofficial hiatus for a long while from my longer fics and series (once again, due to Life), but I have plans to finish nearly all my WIPs. You are welcome to send asks about them. If I have anything new, I'll be delighted to share or talk through worldbuilding.

10. Where can I find all your fanfics?

You can find a (not fully updated) list of tumblr-exclusive things and AO3 fics here.

11. Do you plan on writing your own book someday?

Yes!! It is my lifelong dream. If I ever do it though, I will probably create another tumblr that's solely dedicated to that book/being an author.

12. What are your pronouns? Are you a POC? Are you queer?

She/her. / Yes, I'm Black. / And I'm unsure. Men are cool, but acespec really speaks to me more than being a Straight does. You will see me reblog ace and aro posts often. That's all I'm interested in saying about that on a public forum.

13. So you write and play video games. Do you also draw?

Nope. Maybe someday I'll learn how. I have drawn maybe 2 things, and only 1 is on this blog. I challenge you to find it.

14. Your tags on [page] are broken!

Please send me an ask or message so I can fix them, thank you! All the links on my blog should go somewhere. If they don't, it's probably because I was fiddling around too much with themes again. :')

15. Where did you get your blog name from?

It came to me on the spot as I was creating the blog. I have assigned meanings to it over the years, but it's not from an existing book/movie/game/show. It just is, as I am.

16. You didn't cover my question!
