Tumblr has decided to lock me out of the account and is using a recovery phone number I do not own for verification.

I've changed the recovery number through google, confirmed I can still get into that part of the account, but the login process for Tumblr won't go through and I can't seem to fix it.

...not entirely sure what to do here.

It is possible I may need to pass writeblr-live duties to someone else, or maybe make a side account on this one to run it.

Any suggestions are welcome.

SO

I love Drama and Sci-fi

Do you have an idea of which of your WIPs I'd prolly like best?

(I'm curious about both but I want someplace to start)

Alsldksllskdkfkd okay well unfortunately the only WIP I actually have any writing posted on is The Flames of Revolution with Caldren which is not at all sci-fi (I guess it could be called drama idk but it's kinda more historical French-Revolution-y type vibes).

My two main sci-fi WIPs are Phoenix and Falcon in a Birdcage. Okay I really think you'd love Falcon in a Birdcage because it's basically just entirely whump and it's about these four genetically/cybernetically enhanced living weapons: Aierson who was given wings and talons; Nikka who was turned into a monster; Zyndra who was turned half cyborg; and Terrane who was made indestructible. They are basically prisoners of the military and are forced to fight in a war and it's all super angsty and whumpy and beautiful. Unfortunately that one exists primarily in vibes so far, I've made a couple posts about it but you're welcome to ask questions and help me develop it!

Phoenix might be a little less up your alley idk but it's about a a young woman named Phoenix who was raised by an abusive supervillan (Sterling), and when Sterling dies she is free for the first time in her life and starts fighting the superheroes, who she blames for not saving her as a kid. Jett, the city's new superhero, wants to help her but she's determined to burn down everything in her path.

Hi y'all! I'm Lumi. I write fanfiction and poetry in various genres and fandoms (Genshin Impact, Tron, etc). A good friend recently called me a musical storyteller, which I'd never considered until she mentioned it, but it makes sense. I love finding songs for scenes and curating song playlists for my longer stories.

I finished two longer stories this year for the Genshin fandom: Fighting Winter and Rise with the Sun. I also completed a month-long poetry challenge for Diluc's birthday month in April. And there are a bunch of other one-shot stories I wrote on both ao3 and Tumblr this year!

As for things I've started, there are many, but I wanted to call out two collabs I wrote with my beta reader and good friend @chaotic-snowflake. One is a Tumblr exclusive called The Chaos Wars, which was an inside joke that turned into an ongoing series involving Kaeya and Furina (and others around them). And the other is an ongoing ao3 series called On Why Windblume & Alcohol Should Never Be Mixed. I also have another long political drama in the works which will include two OCs as part of the main cast - no chapters have been posted yet.

How are your main characters?

How are they as in like how are they doing?

Not good, I'll tell you that. Two of them are going through the worst trauma of their lives, two of them are getting ready to join a scientific conspiracy, and one of them is about to realize that is childhood best friend is a selfish, arrogant, manipulative, abusive piece of shit. So that's a thing!

I would like to know what beyond swords Kit knows and will talk about, specifically unintelligible things about weapons.

If...if he's up for yappin. >.>

Sorry this is late, I've been pretty tired the last couple of days.

Kit knows many things. He contains multitudes. Unfortunately, the weapons knowledge has crowded out lots of silly, unnecessary stuff like how to cook and what you're supposed to do on Valentine's Day when you have a boyfriend.

Most of what he rants about, in Alex's general direction at least, are just weapons hot takes of the nichest caliber. Zweihanders are good strength training but ultimately useless for anything but very basic melee crowd control, dual-wielding (sword and dagger only, heaven forbid you suggest dual-wielding proper swords) is great unless there's even the slightest chance you'll need your off-hand for anything else (in his line of work, he usually does)...

He's also constantly learning more about weapons from distant cultures thanks to either Tumblr or his boring weapons forums, so Alex hears about that a lot. Kit wishes he had a use for a khopesh.

Okay...why Ireland?

Is it a spoiler or did you just really want to send them there?

The answer is very straight-forward my friend... author's bias, I'm from there! 🤣

That and I thought it would be quite amusing as well as befitting, a lot of Irish mythology is deeply tied to faerie lore, some of it relating to how the domains of the fae are travellable/tied to Ireland.

Hence, I chose to weave that aspect into my own works. There are certain things in my lore/plotlines that are references to the mythology, some of it more subtle than others

Thanks for the ask!
