The ouroboros of doing nothing by halves.
Consume and be consumed in endless cycles.
Guilty as charged of Nerdery in the following counts: Sciences (primarily biochemistry). Media (currently serving a sentence for BSD - there will be LN spoilers). TTRPGs (and LARPs).
I am allergic to the queue function.
Sorry.

I am Iris (she/her, 18+) and I have been informed it might be useful to have a pinned post that is not over two years old and just about a specific AU. So, here we are!
This blog is made up of everything I adore. While I have great respect for people who make side blogs for their interests, I don't have the energy for that. So you will be getting a wild mix (mostly BSD at the time of writing).
My ask box is always open, and I accept writing prompts when I reblog #prompt lists and say so (just be aware that it might take me a bit to get to them).
Aside from fandom tags, which I'll put below the cut because they are plentiful, some of the recurring tags you'll find are:
#iris answers - for answered asks. Usually the next tag is the asker, if you're looking for someone specific.
#woven threads - a collection of answers for asks I sent other people
#iris' late night ramblings - personal talk tag. (The 'late night' part is anecdotal. These can happen at any time of day.)
#iris writes fic - fic writing on Tumblr and the occasional AO3 update. Note that most of my bsd fic is currently only on Tumblr.
#iris has fun with nendos and #nuiventures - photos of my nendos and nuis, of which I have too many. It's a problem. Unfortunately, they are very cute.
#lemon - nsfw tag. Mute this if you don't want to see that sort of thing.
I think those are the most important? I guess I can also put my AO3 here, in case someone wants to take a gander.
Fandom-agnostic tags
#bladed ones - tag for swords and other bladed weapons
#burning bright - for the pyromanticism, the warmth of the fire
#devotion tag - for knights, princes, and all other sorts of devoted characters. Rarely also #knightposting
#good tropes - tropes that I enjoy
#leyendecker strikes again - I really like this guy's art
#red thread spotted - posts about the red thread of fate, in art or writing
#science doing science things - for the most science-y posts I can find
#the siren song of the sea - for the marvels of the endless blue oceans that reel me in
#the spider lilies are at it again - they haunt me
#time loop time loop time loop - I like time loops. Who knew.
#vampires - I like vampires. There's a tag if you too like vampires.
Fandom tags, aka stuff you will find on my blog, alphabetically:
#ace attorney
#bsd - Bungou Stray Dog, and its subtags:
#skk (usually), sometimes #soukoku - ship tag for Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya
#bsd [character or group], e.g.: #bsd dazai, #bsd chuuya, #bsd the flags, #bsd hunting dogs - character and group tags
#bsd spoilers and #bsd manga spoilers - spoilers for recent developments. Mute these if you don't want to see that sort of thing.
#bsd mayoi - tag for the (dying?) mobile gacha game BSD Tales of the Lost. 'Mayoi' is just cuter than 'totl'.
#iris reads bsd and #iris watches bsd - my tags for experiencing the light novels, manga and anime, occasionally live blogged as I went through them.
Special tags:
#our bandaged snow white who just wants to rest - Dazai tag for when he's particularly princess.
#bugzai - Dazai tag for. The opposite of the previous tag? Particularly mafia era Dazai.
#Oda's guardian devil - Beastzai tag
#our ride or die prince - Chuuya tag for when he's particularly chivalrous. Or on a motorbike. Or down to ride or die.
#it's always Mori posting hours - it is an unfortunate reality that I like the guy, and have thoughts about him. Therefore, he gets a tag.
#port mafia misadventures - usually lighthearted or silly takes about the behind the scenes we don't get to see for the mafia
#beast is the gift that keeps on giving (pain) - I feel like the name really already explains it but. This is my tag for painful beast things. Of which there are many. Tread carefully.
Further ship tags you might find:
#kunikidazai - ship tag for Kunikida and Dazai
#fukumori - ship tag for Fukuzawa and Mori
#shin skk - ship tag for Atsushi and Akutagawa
#dcmk - Detective Conan and Magic Kaito, and its subtags
#akam - shorthand for all ships between iterations of Akai Shuuichi and Furuya Rei. I will occasionally additionally tag specific variants such as #okiamu or #raibabo if they are relevant, but akam is the primary catch-all.
#obligatory akam tag - for stuff that isn't technically writing or art etc of them, but that reminds me of them
#obligatory Rei tag and #obligatory Akai tag - similar to the equivalent akam tag, not technically about the characters, but about the characters. In my heart of hearts.
#whiskey trio - I use this tag both for the ship of Scotch, Bourbon, and Rye, as well as for them platonically. Only thing that matters is that the three of them are there.
Other ship tags you might find:
#hakukai - Hakuba and Kaito
#heishin - Heiji and Shinichi
#kaishin - Kaito and Shinichi
#nagano trio - Koumei, Yui, and Kansuke
#yamahiro - Ship tag for the childhood friends Yamamura Misao and Morofushi Hiromitsu, which Aoyama deprived us of.
#dgs - The Great Ace Attorney
#disco elysium
#dr - Danganronpa
#fma - Fullmetal Alchemist (all iterations)
#ghost trick and #ghost trick spoilers - go play Ghost Trick now

#vtm - Vampire the Masquerade
Recurring OCs:
#Iris Nalairin Amakiir - my traumatised DnD ecoterrorist

#Liu Xiao - my larp fire priestess
Dividers by @cafekitsune btw :)
I probably forgot some things, but this should be a decent introduction? I'll update things as they become relevant.

i love making friends in fandom, i love playing with our toys together, i love coming up with increasingly niche aus, i love lifting strangers up, i love motivating people to create, i love watching someone get excited over an idea and immediately running with it, i love yelling in tags together, i love seeing someone gain confidence in their writing/art because people were kind to them <33
physicists: think they know enough to be an authority in other fields
chemists: don't think they know enough to be an authority in other fields
biologists: aren't even sure they know enough to be an authority in their own firld
mathematicians: don't understand why you seem to think they'd ever want to leave the beautiful and pure realm of numbers and have anything to do with any other field
i will never be over the fact that during first contact a human offered their hand to a vulcan and the vulcan was just like βwow humans are fucking wildβ and took it
#iiiiiiiiiiiiii mean vulcans had been watching humans for a long time#they knew the significance of a handshake but still#they had to find some fast and loose ambassador#willing to fuckin make out with a human for the sake of not offending them on first contact#lmao#star trek
give me the story of this fast and loose vulcan
βsirβ¦theseβ¦these humansβ¦they greet each other byβ¦β *glances around before furtively whispering* βby clasping handsβ¦β
*prolonged silence*Β βoh myβ¦β
βsirβ¦sir how will we make first contact with them? surely weβ¦we cannot refuse this handclasping ritual, they will take it as an insult, but what vulcan would agree to such a distasteful and uncomfortable ritual??β
*several pensive moments later*Β βcontact the vulcan high command and tell them to send us kuvak. i once saw that crazy son of a bitch arm wrestle a klingon, heβll put his hands on anythingβ
I swear Vulcans only come in two types and they areΒ βdistant xenophobesβ orΒ βhorny on main for humanityβ. Also apparently this guy is Spockβs great-grandfather and frankly that explains everything.
Hey so I looked into this at one point and that handshake literally created a lifelong telepathic bond between the two of them, and basically all of Solkarβs descendants were later obsessed with humans, including freaking SPOCK, so Iβm not saying that handshake was so gay and good that it created an intergenerational telepathic bond between Solkarβs descendants and humans, but Iβm also notβ¦.notβ¦.saying that.
The slow deliberation with which Solkar takes CockraneβsβIβm sorry, Cochraneβsβhandβ¦ The sheer sensuality witch which Solkar infuses an otherwise borderline impersonal social ritualβ¦ It clearly shows a very conscious knowledge, on Solkarβs part, of what the significance of the handshake is in Vulcan terms and of how affected he is by it.
Thatβs why heβs so slow in doing it, andΒ so sensual. A part of Solkar canβt believe this is happening, despite it being a perfectly logical thing to expect from a human, and the rest of him canβt believe how good it is.
I bet that if the camera zoomed in any further we would see the dilation of Solkarβs pupils and a quickly-repressed shiver of delight. Cochraneβs firm, businesslike clasp is probably (in sexual terms) being perceived as a deliciously carnal display of dominance.
No wonder Solkar is all like,Β βTAKE ME, YOU WILD-MANNERED BARBARIAN WITH ENTICINGLY ROUGH CALLUSES.β
#somehow the idea of vulcans being Horny On Main always gives me the giggles#like literally all they had to do#was be like actually#hand contact is very intimate for our species#and im p sure humanity as a whole would not find that insurmountably weird#there are human cultures that dont shake hands#vulcans are logical enough to think that through on their own#so clearly that vulcan was just down to fuck#down to fuck in a public#professional diplomatic situation no less#and he did not fucking care who knew itΒ (via kittykatthetacodemon)

i like when fiction treats love as a more complicated force and not something that is inherently pure, redemptive, or salvific. portray it as flawed and complex as any other human impulse. give me love as prejudice, love as possessive stasis, love as addiction, love as blindness, etc.

stop forcing yourself to disengage with what you love because a layer of irony makes it more comfortable. admit you care and let yourself feel good about it
