As the blog name indicates, I am Niobium from AO3 and SquidgeWorld. Likes will show from @staypuftmarshmallowqueen.
Here you will find links to most of my stories (crossposted to SW) ,the occasional excerpt, my complaints thoughts about writing in general and fanfiction in particular, and anything I might want to reblog from the various fandoms I write in.
Specifics below the cut.
Me: I am disinclined to share personal info. Sorry, that's just how I roll. If that means you'll avoid the blog, no worries. Everyone should curate their experience as they see fit.
Blog rating: I sometimes post/reblog nsfw stuff. I try to make sure to tag it all for easy filtering (#nsfw or #adult) but see below re: tagging.
My fic: I post on AO3. I crosspost to SquidgeWorld when I can, and post links here, particularly if someone from Tumblr said something which inspired a fic. Most of my fic is Gen/Teen, with the rare Mature/Explicit.
Fandoms: Most of what you'll see is Star Wars*, MCU, Star Trek, some DC animated and film, some comics stuff. A wide range of others like Narnia, PacRim, and more will show up as things release.
Tagging: I stopped tagging stuff a while ago, am trying to get back into doing so. Apologies, I just lack the energy some days. I'll occasionally do a quick sweep and try to catch up. I will always tag current spoilers as #spoilers and the fandom in question, plus anything relevant (eg. episode number or movie name). I'll keep tagging them for about a month or so.
Shipping: I'm largely ambivalent about shipping and such these days. I have pairings I like and those I don't, but I just ignore the ones I don't.
Who I reblog from: I do not vet everyone I reblog from nor am I going to. I'm too old and tired for that sort of thing.
Tags you might care about (as noted above I suck at tagging):
fanfic (mine)
Lego stuff (mine)
fanart (other people's)
cosplay (other people's)

i do think what gets ignored about carrie as a character is that she’s an incredibly easy target to bully; she’s a chubby, sheltered acne ridden teenage girl who wears frumpy grandma clothes and regurgitates the jesus freak shit her violently abusive mother tells her. she has violent thoughts about her classmates and is uncomfortable to be around. she’s far more interesting being a victim that’s somewhat uncomfortable to be in the head of than a tragic waif. she’s not a martyr, she’s a child and a child who’s been victimised her whole life shouldn’t have to be kind and angelic to be recognised as a victim. suffering teenage girls shouldn’t just be presented on screen as toned down glamorous thin ophelias, suffering teenage girls can be fat and poor and think violently. i do think we need to examine why culturally we need teenage girls to be beautiful and kind to valorise their suffering and treat it as bad

if you are lost in the rut, i am begging you to read this essay by Sasha Chapin suggesting what, essentially, my take, are potential jump-starts back into living life in real time. like actually experiencing experiences
do it now! don’t lose months, years, or decades! there is a life beyond doomscrolling, and it’s finite (sorry. sorry. i know okay)
Ok I found this genuinely helpful today, having recently been dealing with long-term stress and a creeping amount of anhedonia. There are several brilliant ideas in here, I highly recommend giving it a read.
something I highly recommend for any creative is the "absorb or create a critical vocabulary" exercise
the more you read about and otherwise study your passion - critical scholarship, process and technique discussion, history, everything! - the more fully you'll understand and be able articulate what you're trying to do, and the better able you'll be to create what your mind can now imagine in fuller detail and fresher perspective
I bought a Tech Black Series on a whim and yeah he’s cool. I don’t collect figures, so this is my only one. Anyway he’s lonely so I have this really great idea of who they should make—
