I've been writing fanfiction since the '90s. While I do post in-progress snippets of fanfiction I am writing here (you can check the "my writing" tag for that) the main place to read my written work is on AO3.
In case of shenanigans here is the address: https://archiveofourown.org/users/SofiaDragon/works
I use my bookmarks as a collection of stories I have read and enjoyed enough not to lose. I also use the Recommended Stories feature, so if you want to see a list of fantastic stories, you can utilize the filter or just click here.
I reblog a lot of things that catch my attention, but mostly fandom stuff and current events. There are a lot of different fandoms I am interested in, and sometimes I'll go back to the stories that first got me interested in writing. From ACD's Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek to the latest MCU movie and Spy X Family or even Eminence in Shadow - I like a wide range of story types so long as the characters are well crafted. Give me someone who seems so real they can walk right off the page or a setting I can sink into, and I'm happy. If you like that sort of thing, pull up a chair and stay a while.
I do not blog about charity for spiritual reasons. That I do not reblog posts or answer asks about charity means nothing about what I do or do not support offline.
More personal stuff about who I am under the cut!
Autistic spectrum cis female demi-aromantic. US American, social-democrat, has been overseas but not as much as I'd like. Can vaguely understand tourist Japanese and Spanish with context to help, but only fluent in English.
I put a lot of worldbuilding in my writing with a dash of humor and dramatic irony. In IRL conversation I'm sarcastic and enjoy ethical and political debates - and I have the privilege of coming from a family where we don't take those disagreements personally and will happily "devil's advocate" a position just to prolong the discussion if the conversation is productive in finding the flaws in the political ideas we support. Especially on the internet, hot intellectual debate of serious issues without catching feelings is a rare commodity.
I studied world religion, psychology, and creative writing as an Early Childhood Education major for my first round in college. Then I had to go make money due to a family calamity, so I swapped to Small Business Management and learned about economics, politics, teaching adults, and bookkeeping. Eventually, I took a job at a small chocolate shop and learned how to make gourmet chocolates, because the high stress and long hours of my management job was actually killing me due to chronic medical issues.
I believe that most of the fan criticisms of series and movies come from a place of love, since we wouldn't care so much if we weren't invested. You will see posts tagged "critical" or "criticism" related to fandoms that I adore. That thing I said about intellectual debates? It absolutely applies here.
I also tag political posts. If you don't want to see commentary on real life drama when browsing please filter your tumblr - I highly recommend a side blog with "#politics" blocked if you don't like seeing that stuff when you are in fun fandom mode generally. Curate your experience.
I've had some mental health struggles related to my poor physical health (chronic illness sucks) and fertility problems stemming from a hormone imbalance caused by working in an office where my boss used testosterone cream irresponsibly, don't try me on gender dysphoria it isn't a trigger it's waving a flag in front a bull. I will give you the horns. I'm very strong on trans/genderqueer issues partly because I have experienced the distress of my body doing masculine things like growing a full beard against my will and partly because I have a cousin more than 20 years older than me who transitioned when I was a kid and is one of the most actualized and happy people I've ever known.
Nobody should be forced to use their body or perform their life in a certain way for the benefit of other people contrary to their nature or will. This also includes medical privacy and legalizing [while responsibly regulating] most drugs. You will see this theme in some of my stories and it colors all of them in the sense that my idea of what is morally correct includes that kind of freedom.

Grace: âI just wanted to thank you and your team. It means so much to me how hard you guys worked to figure out the food issue before I, you know, died.â
Head Nutritionist Eridian: âItâs no problem. We were glad to help. And, this is an opportunity to clear up misconceptions about our research. Eating is a natural bodily function. We can research it in a respectful, objective manner.â
That one Eridian on the team: âIS THAT THE HUMAN?!? CAN I WATCH YOU EAT, MR GRACE? I HEAR HUMANS HAVE MEALS TOGETHER AND KEEP EATING RECORDS ANDââ
Head Nutritionist: âIâll kill you. Leave right now before I do. Iâm sorry, Savior Grace. I swear weâre not all like this.â

Who do you think the most annoying person in the Kingdom of Science is?
Most annoying person in the Kingdom of Science?
Easy.
Itâs Gen.
Not because heâs loud. That would be manageable.
Itâs because every conversation with him feels like youâve walked into a meeting where the agenda is âletâs see how long it takes before you realize youâve already lost.â
He doesnât answer questions.
He redirects them.
Politely. Constantly. Like a professional obstructionist with a smile.
Everyone else is straightforward in their own way:
Kohaku will just hit you if she disagrees.
Senku will explain why youâre wrong in detail you didnât request.
Gen is the only one who makes you feel like the conversation was optional for him the entire time.
I was almost tempted into shipping Senku and Tsukasa after they awakened Tsukasa but Gen really said no and pulled another gay shit of his.
Fellas, is it gay to draw crack marks on your face so that your leader doesn't have to be the only one with crack marks and call them war paintings?
Gen is always taking the initiative when it comes to comforting and including Senku. (He's also the one that makes sure that the others see Senku as an approachable leader đĽš)

I spent the afternoon arranging our books by size and color (and itâs so satisfying and looks amazing) and my partner came home and stared in shock at the bookcase and then said âiâm a librarian, you canât do this.â
it has occurred me during this process that apparently not everyone thinks about books by what color they are? like, literally when iâm looking for a book, i picture it in my mind. i have a veryâŚtactile experience with the books i read and idk! i thought everyone did that lol.
my partner was like âhow will i find [this book] for instanceâ and i replied âeasy, itâs purpleâ and he looked at me like i was a witch.
This actually is interesting in terms of information-seeking behavior, which is a thing librarians think about a lot and often actually study (some library jobs require you to publish, and academic librarians, for instance, will often use the students at the college they work at to study how they search for information in order to figure out how to best provide them services).
When you go for an MLS (Masterâs of Library Science, which is a thing, and which is usually required for âprofessional-levelâ library work [which is also a weird and contentious concept that I wonât go into here]), one of the things you study is the organization of information. This deals with how to determine what a book or other material is âabout"âa concept we tongue-in-cheek call âaboutness"âand how to convey that to a potential user of the item and make it easy for them to find. Things like keywords and subject headings, do I put this book about how often wild birds attack aerial drones in with books about birds or with books about technology, if its a fictional novel do I put fantasy in itâs own section or mix it in with all of the other fiction, so on and so on.
OP is organizing books by how they would look for them. OPâs partner is thinking in terms of aboutness. This is a system that works for OP because itâs their personal library: they know basically what books they own and they only own books that are relevant to them, and if they know what the book looks like, that can be a quick way to find it.
In a library that assumes the public (or people who do not own that particular collection of books) are using the collection, that doesnât work. Books are often re-issued in multiple covers, or re-bound in new covers when they get worn out, and if the user doesnât know what the book looks like or is expecting a different cover, theyâre lost. Thatâs why non-personal libraries used standardized cataloging systems like the Dewey Decimal System or Library of Congress System to organize a book by what itâs âaboutâ, and then put books about the same or similar topics together, marked with labels and signage so a person unfamiliar with the book or collection can find their way to it.
Basically, OPâs system works for their own personal library, because itâs best suited to how the primary userâOP themselvesâlooks for books. OPâs librarian partner is coming from a background of thinking in terms of a public-facing collection, where aboutness is the key criteria and communicating it to a user unfamiliar with the collection is the priority.

And now I finished season 3 episode 3 of Mushoku Tensei. So glad to see my boy back in action.
I truly do love the slice of life episode of Mushoku Tensei just as much as the action side. I'm glad we get some more peaceful episodes before turning point 4. But at the same time I want my Eris back đ¤đ¤.
I do not like Rudy's nasty ass stump arm, I am no expert in what stump arms look like in real life, but the veins gross me out lol. Glad he got the Zaliff prosthesis, don't know why they changed it to Zaliff hand or what ever tho. Maybe I'm misremebering and they change the name when they make the second version???
I love Norn and Zenith in the background, Zenith's whole story truly is depressing up until the later half of the series, still even then it's more bitter sweet than a full blown happy ending, but seeing a mom figure all zoned out like that really makes my heart ache after having similar thing happen to my actual mom, don't worry she recovered for the most part. Still the whole Zenith arc really is a great side story to the series, really shows Rudeu's more mature and thoughtful side.
Also Godess Roxy is fucking adorable and Sylphie is very momma right now, they are so cute, I always liked when they interacted, and can't wait until all three wives are together and they feel like a real family, cuz right now they are sorta still distant from each other.
Lastly Dillo is adorable and the little interaction between Rudy and Aishia was so freaking sweet dude it put a big smile on my face, her seeing the prosthetic hand and Rudy saying "I'm home" was so sweet dude omfg.
Oh yeah also great to see Cliff, Zanoba, Julie, and Ginger, even if Cliff spoils the mood with his religious crap.... đ
Well next episode I believe will the the fight between Linia and Pursena, fun times, fun times.
