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.

okay but we can't know for sure that the loud noise and bright flash offstageāwhich occurred after the character who was holding the gun exited the stage with itāwas a gunshot, because we didn't get to directly see it
god I'm such a slut for Chinese eggplant in garlic sauce *decides itās inaccurate to refer to myself as a slut in light of my minimal sexual activity* if The Enemy discovered my ardor for Chinese eggplant in garlic sauce, they would gain a significant strategic advantage

I'm in a restaurant that's imitating the southern USA (think country music, BBQ, lots of references to Texas). I need an American to explain if getting a bag of popcorn with your food is normal over there or just imitation restaurant weirdness š¤
Allergic people kept making a fuss about the steakhouse that had buckets of peanuts because there was a BIG ASS sign on the door saying that you should not enter if you had a peanut allergy. Tge peanut dust is still on everything and in the air, but the peanuts come in a sealed bag that is put in a bucket for "sanitary reasons" probably more related to some franchise owners putting the nuts on a new table after a kid licked the salt off the shells and put them back.
Look up Cracker Barrel restaurants or classic american diners (New Jersey native, I know diner food.) Popcorn at the table I have never seen, that's movie theater and fairground/flea market stuff, but the rest of that is pure america. The decor in the background is Texas Roadhouse or Cracker Barrel, the ice cream could be from any of a dozen chain or local places near where may parents live in Jersey. Special occasion treat, I'd expect a sparkler, song, or balloon to come with it if we made a reservation and told them it was a birthday.
Completely understandable about the peanuts in bags. Also, agree with the above comment as someone from the states. A lot of mexican restaurants would give you a basket of chips and a bowl of salsa before your meal, or certain restaurants would give you bread sticks or (american) biscuits with jam/jelly and butter in the same manner. Perhaps that's where this restaurant got the idea for the bag of popcorn?
Yeah, I don't think I've ever heard of anywhere giving popcorn specifically. Probably because as others above said popcorn is more of a casual snacking thing unto itself. Chips and salsa at Mexican type places, or bread of some kind would be the bring to table automatically things. Elaborate milkshakes decorated with entire other desserts are A Thing for the last several years (I have time blindness). Often ice cream shops that do basically just that, or maybe places that are trying to be trendy. Not sure if it's *still* trendy though since I don't generally go places that would do that, or keep up. It's probably been 5-10 years since I've heard about milkshakes like that? But I don't know if I just stopped hearing about them or if I stopped hearing about anything.
Ice cream sundaes with the works were a retro nostalgic thing in the 80's, Friendly's kids meal with the cone hat or half PB cup horns and surprise candy in the bottom is a cherished childhood memory and they still make them. I had my kid's birthday party at a Friendly's a couple years ago and it was an ice cream sundae bonanza. Whole oreos? No, but crushed ones, pb cups, gummy bears, sour worms, every syrup, and mini chocolate chip cookies were offered on a buffet. It was kindergarten chaos, and the adult sized ones are crazy too...
There are many cone head sundaes, all with different flavors and personalities. They don't always have the mustaches, I think that's a November thing? They all have surprise candy at the very bottom of the dish. Always a spoon of the smaller ones like the mini gummy bears, m&ms, or something like that.
Watermelon sherbet with gummy worms was my go-to as a kid. Now it's coffee with M&Ms.

Is every part and peripheral of the switch 2 matte black on matte black? Even if Nintendo can't imagine someone with low vision ecer wanting to play Animal Crossing, can they at least imagine us trying to assemble and set up the fucking thibg for our kid?
No, see, this is what people forget. Loki WAS the rightful king. Thor was fuckin BANISHED, ya hear me? Odin cast him the FUCK out! So when Odin couldnāt be king anymore, it obviously fell to his other son, Loki. And he gets all this bullshit about how he didnāt deserve to be king. The fucker was the RIGHTFUL KING OF ASGARD. Frost Giant or no, deceitful bastard or not, he fuckin deserved that crown. And he didnāt want it, he said he didnāt at the end of the damn movie. He just wanted to make his father proud, by showing him he could be just as good as Thor, if not better. Showing him he could be a true leader. But he was betrayed by the people who were supposed to trust and obey him. Because no one, NO ONE wanted Loki to be king, because no one thought he could do the damn job. Because he fucking wasnāt Thor.
And you wonder why he wanted Thor dead, after all that? The man he could never live up to, even though he was already better, wiser, stronger, and more level-headed than him? But according to everyone, Thor was better.
Fuuuuuck that. Loki should have been king until Odin woke up. Loki knew what he was doing, and it was the fact that people kept repeatedly fucking him over because they didnāt think he was able to do anything that led him to use drastic measures. He just wanted to be Thorās fuckin equal.
The queen put Gugnir in to Loki hand, Gugnir serves him and teh destroyer obeys im
So, as far as asgard (the place not teh people looking at you W3, Sif and Heimdal ā¦ ) is consernes Loki is the fucking King for all intends and purposes
It doesnāt matter if you think
He doesnāt deserve it
He got it troug a coup
He is evil
etc ā¦
What ever
He IS the king
Disobeying a direct order is treason
Plotting to get Thor back is high treason
.
.
And yes, Thor could whield Mjolnir, but that just means he now is worthy to whield the power of Thor
āWhosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.ā
Thor, who is STILL uncrowned ā¦
Just because Mjolnir considers Thor worthy again, doesnāt mean that Odin is going to crown him king
-> I mean, just imagine Steve Rogers had wielded Mjolnir, who has no idea about being a king or asgard or anything ā¦
It is just not practicall to make anyone wo whields Mjolnir automatically the king of asgard
Itās Mjolnir not Excalibur for fucks sacke those two things do different things
whild Mjolnir? -> worthy to whild the power of Thor
whild Excalibur? -> worthy to be king
Different ā¦
Meaning, Until Odin wakes up and can be asked, Loki will hold the Throne as the regent

Y'all ever think of what the person responsible for Rocky's voice bank must've felt when those videos finally got to earth? Imagine doing a voice acting gig for a bank voice on a computer or whatever that you eventually completely forget about, only for it to one day come back to you when the FIRST intellectual alien lifeform that a human being has ever met decides to use it as their chosen voice. The mild horror. The exhilaration. The emotional punch. This is it. This is your magnum opus. You have given a human voice to a sentient rock and it will NEVER get better than this. Also, they picked you over MERYL STREEP?!?!
part of me wants to be like "do people really not know this" and part of me knows full well i only read the labels because i have gut problems and don't want to suffer
anyway i've had my eye on the fat content for years. actual ice cream made with real cream won't trigger my lactose intolerance, because the higher the fat content of dairy, the lower the lactose content. my personal tipping point is around half-and-half so if you make "ice cream" with with skim milk, the enshittification i experience is unfortunately literal
it's always "you gnawed off your own leg to escape like an animal caught in a trap" and never "why didn't anyone try to help you out of the trap" or "why weren't you provided with any other resources to escape the trap with except for your own teeth"

Kohaku got this app after she saw it on my phone. She said it was ānecessary for information gathering.ā I told her thatās literally just doomscrolling
She then hit me with a rock.
Anyways.
Since sheās online now, I figured I should probably reboot mine too. Apparently I āalready had oneā back in the early reboot of civilization but it had like three posts and one of them was just me trying to explain magnets to myself. donāt ask.
Iām Chrome. I study science, I build stuff that sometimes explodes less than expected, and I used to think half the things Senku says are made up until I verified them myself.
if youāre here for polished genius content, wrong guy. if youāre here for experiments, curiosity, and occasional chaosā¦ then, Iām YOUR guy.
Welp. Iām gonna figure out how this site works again.
I shouldāve never proposed that rocket design that got you back here. Youāre THE worst, Senku. I spend time helping make a way for you to get to space and THIS is how you repay me? š
No. The banner was āten billion percentā intentional. I thought itād be a good reminder for you to stay humble and remember the time you literally pissed out a rainbow.
Science is amazing, but that doesnāt mean Iām letting you forget that shit piss.š
