at one point several months ago i said i’d update my pinned soon ~and then i didn’t!~
lexie/lex/tumblr user tamsiblings/the venerable mr. tamsiblings (shoutout to @fiollaigean for that one bc you said that and i have not stopped finding it funny since lmao)
they/she, 26
firefly sideblog! i follow and like from @starlightswait and i sign my asks at the end bc i do not intend to be mysterious! it just feels sort of weird to send them from my main.
when it comes to any discussion/potential discourse: honestly my general vibe is: we do not have to agree on everything! i am very willing and glad to listen to other perspectives as long as we can be respectful and chill about it.
my asks are open so come say hi! i love chatting about firefly, and i promise i’m friendly <3
some general stuff: multishipper at heart, though i have a particular interest in kaylee/simon, mal/simon, and kaylee/inara.
simon tam is my favorite character. do not expect me to be normal about him.
as the url may indicate: the tam siblings make me want to cry glass (affectionate)
sometimes i make stuff!
the general catch-all tag for anything i make is * mine. (i will edit this to link to the tag later; the way it’s set up, it doesn’t work right now.)
my ao3
events:
from late november to early january 2025-2026, i ran a poll series known affectionately as the firefly rarepair tournament and then ran a very lowkey inara/zoe shipweek event based on the results! the ao3 collection for that can be found here.
currently ongoing is wash wednesday, where we post about wash every wednesday in june 2026! if you want to participate, feel free to make whatever you like! there are prompts you can find in the link above for inspiration purposes (most of them do lend themselves to fic, but please do whatever suits you!) but the ultimate point is just wash appreciation and fandom creation! the ao3 collection can be found here!
current wips:
while i have other fics posted to ao3, these are the ones that are curently active/ongoing.
all these words we speak then swallow, multichapter malsimon, in which simon gets inadverdantly drugged as a variation on a sex pollen fic, and he and mal deal with the aftermath and consequences. 4/6 chapters completed. i cannot emphasize enough this was supposed to be a 3,000 wordsish oneshot.
(please note this fic, while not detailing it super explicitly, deals pretty heavily with themes of simon being triggered by this situation, as it brings up memories surrounding a past sexual assault. there are also more general slightly dubious/murky consent issues between mal and simon, but they're both ultimately fine with that in the contexts they happen in. just, fic is not a consent instruction manual, etc., but we know this.)
watch the universe expand series, continous polyamory series in which inara, simon, kaylee, and (eventually) mal Figure Shit Out. this doesn't have a set timeline or end, but when it feels done i will say so?
* take the sky, my take on a fanscript continuation of firefly.
*i'm tentatively thinking about this project again. i must humbly admit: i got very very very nervous about the format because i am not a screenwriter by trade and for some reason i decided that's what this is lol so i shelved it for,,, several several months. but this project is still something i care about and also i remembered i can do whatever i want! i'm still not prepared to commit to, like, a timeline, but know i am both thinking about and working on it.
my amvs/edits/fanvids/what-have-you
i've got vague aspirations to embed my video edits on ao3 because for archival because i trust the structural integrity of ao3 a little more than tumblr lol but, like we will see lol. at one point in time i knew how to do it; i've blocked it all out since. in the meantime, they can be found at the link above, and i've also got most of them listed below.
simon / tam siblings, mastermind
river, the albatross
simon, the archer
(sort of in the same vein?) the lazy man's firelfy crack video.
mal/simon, u turn me on but u give me depression
simon & river & mal & jayne, dustbowl dance
simon/kaylee, delicate
tam siblings, samson
simon, not strong enough
firefly dvd commentary transcripts
i started transcribing the firefly dvd commentary, because i realized i couldn't find any existing transcripts online. i still plan to pursue this, but it also takes a lot of time/attention/mental energy. so it’s a slow-going passion project.
that being said, ^ the above has the dropbox where the first transcript currently lives. it is by no means perfect, but it exists!
that's it for now, but i plan to add or edit stuff as needed and plan to update the wips and amvs lists as necessary. thanks!!! <3
