Welcome to Tryan’s meandering attempts at basic humanity.
Hello! Hi! I reblog mostly The Sandman (with a side of Fuckboi Dream), Dead Boy Detectives, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Good Omens (now a proud Asmi’s Maggot iykyk), Nimona, Simon Snow, Spy x Family and whatever the latest movie is, with a leavening of Weird Tumblr Shit because it is the hellsite. My sexy tag is #explicit rather than #nsft because it’s more about choosing what you see than about age. Curate your own experience. My side blog is @lucienne-my-beloved, featuring some of my favourite characters from The Sandman!
My blog name is a brilliant line from @cuubism’s Joy, used with permission. My profile pic is Razzle Dazzle Dragon by Doodle.
To find my favourite posts and my original work, search for my tag #tryana find it back. I write mostly short fluffy one-shots and I’ll let you know if it’s not that. It’s nicely sorted on ao3, but if you want to stay here I’ll put a link to the first in each series (Okay, I'm not staying up to date on posting these on tumblr and linking them in series. Please see ao3.)

being late getting into a piece of media or joining a ‘dead’ fandom is not that bad actually cause even if it seems like the party is over there will always be people still celebrating and the decoration is still up and there’s a piece of cake reserved especially for you in the fridge you just have to come and enjoy it.
actually i think that having no friendship degradation rules. i love seeing friends i havent seen in years and getting to catch up like we saw each other last week. i love falling back into a routine with someone you haven't seen in months. I love being able to reconnect without worry that our feelings have changed due to time or space, both of which could be completely out of our control.
My elder bushes are putting on a pretty good show this year. We'll see if that translates to berries.
Many years ago, baby Red made a medieval cheesecake recipe for an SCA feast, and the elderflower flavoring was lovely. I wanted to see if fresh flowers had the same sweet, floral flavor. So I stuck some in my mouth.

One time when I was a kid a group of girls and I had to treat another student for hypothermia by ourselves because she had so many invisible health issues that the adults we asked for help didn't believe us. The student in question was actively hallucinating. When I finally ran for help the people I grabbed were slow as shit to respond, casually joking about how "dramatic" the person in question was.
The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.
Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.
I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.
Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.
"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."
"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."
"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"
Sincerely, truly, from the bottom of my heart- as someone who isn't physically disabled but hears this shit all the time- fuck off
Dreamling Day 2026 means it's once again time to update the Masterpost. Links go to Tumblr posts (for when AO3 is down), and each Tumblr fic post has the direct AO3 link as well.

Dream's trip to the beach to recharge in solitude does not go exactly as planned.
A few days ago, I listened to Matti Lazar, the director of the Zamir Choral Foundation, giving a talk about Jewish choral music through history. It really was quite amazing, beginning with the Levites in the Temple and spending some time with the work of Ovadia HaGer, which not a lot of presenters would do in that situation. Here are a few choice selections from that talk.
This is Salamone de Rossi's setting of Psalm 137. It's more choral and less madrigal-like than some Rossi pieces I've heard, but I kind of like the businesslike sound. Lazar leads it at a good clip, too; it's way too easy to sing choral pieces too slowly!
Lazar also pointed out that Rossi was one of the few composers of the Early (and later) Modern era who actually set the whole text of Psalm 137. Psalm 137 is about the Babylonian Exile ("By the waters of Babylon we sat and wept as we recalled Zion"), and a lot of composers like to focus on the first six verses of the Psalm, where the captive Jews are attractively mournful. But Rossi goes all the way to the bitter end, where the captive Jews recall the brutal pillaging of Jerusalem and retributively wish the same pain on their Babylonian captors. Jewish sorrow is acceptable, but only Rossi included Jewish anger as well.
This is relatively long, clocking in at 18 minutes, but stick with it. A final mention from Matti Lazar's webinar. He couldn't play all of this, of course; in fact, he really only mentioned it. But I was interested enough to look it up, and I was rewarded with this stunning, fiendishly difficult choral setting of the beginning of the Torah, Bereshit, the creation of the heavens, the earth, and humans.
Copland does a couple of interesting things here. The first is that, as the famous seven days of creation come to an end with the verses about the Divine resting on the seventh day, Copland doesn't stop. He keeps going through Bereshit 2:7. The thing about Bereshit is that it actually contains several different creation myths, all kind of strung together, and Copland is giving you the first two of them -- the famous one, and then another one thrown in as a bargain.
The second interesting thing that Copland does, as Lazar pointed out, was that, like the good atheist Jewish boy that he was, Copland made sure to end his piece with a powerful celebration of humanity as the apex of creation.
Absolutely stunning work from all the singers here!

For people who tell us voting democrat is Useless and we shouldn’t even bother voting. I want to tell you this, Voters actually VOTE who the candidate is for the presidential and senate and whoever is the candidate for the election in the primaries. I looked it up. We vote who the candidate is. There are open voting where everyone is eligible to vote who the candidate is and closed voting where only the political party votes who the candidate is. So to everyone complaining voting is useless and why bother voting democratJust remember people actually can choose by their vote who the candidate is. You just choose not to vote. I’m actually registered to vote in the primary elections. Remember there are democrats who are socialist. Seattle voted a socialist mayor. We can choose who the candidate is. That is why voting regularly is important. Not just voting every four years or voting every two years. But voting when ever there is a voting system. You choose who the candidates are in the voting system.
Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation
So far, afaik, we've got Derin stories starring variously aged adults, a teenager, a preteen(? alien), a child, an immortal, a 70-year-old, and a newborn (different alien). I'm looking forward to your upcoming toddler protagonist.
Six year old narration was already hell on earth. There were so many words I couldn't use without ruining Taya's voice. I was so so relieved when she got a bit older and started going to new places and hanging out with scientists so I could plausibly deepen her vocabulary.
another underappreciated tumblr feature that you dont get on other sites is the queue. i love it when something i thought was funny six months ago and then forgot about a week later crawlts its way out of the processing vortex and i get to see it all over again.

In proof that any competency can be hot here’s a story from when my beloved and I first started dating.
See, they were living in a house and had chickens in the backyard. The original chickens were called Salad, Parm, and Caesar which we can all agree is very funny. They were later joined by Tesla, Spirit, and Cecil who didn’t fit the theme but we’ll forgive them.
The owners didn’t clip the wings so the chickens were really just pets that flew the fence sometimes but largely respected their backyard borders. One of the chickens however was notorious for breaking containment. The jury is out on whether it was Tesla or Spirit but we’ll say Tesla as that was my recollection.
So one morning after I had slept over I was dressed in my nice work clothes, button up, vest, etc. ready to leave for work.
I kissed my beloved goodbye and walked to my car when I spotted the chicken in the front yard. I went back and tapped on the door. My beloved opened it back up and I reported, “One of the chickens is out.”
My beloved was getting ready for their day too and their face fell. “I don’t have time for this.”
“Oh? Well that’s fine, come here real quick.”
I scoped out the yard and pointed where I’d like them to stand then stalked toward the chicken. The hen turned her head warily and started to move away from me but then saw my beloved in her escape path. She decided to make a last ditch effort for freedom and bolted, trying to make a break under my legs.
I casually scooped a hand under her, slinging her upside down and holding her by her feet so she was forced to go passive in my grip. Holding birds upside down is like a cheat code to put them in a trance. I’ve learned since this can be risky as the blood rush can harm them in rare cases but holding chickens by their feet was like my entire childhood so apologies to all those past birds but we didn’t have any resulting injuries.
I looked back at my beloved, dressed in my business casual work clothes with a chicken dangling incongruously from my hand and said, “Not too bad, she just goes in the backyard, yeah?”
My beloved nodded. I casually tossed the hen over the fence and she flapped down to land amidst the rest of the flock with a disgruntled cackling sound.
I turned back for one last kiss and found my beloved starry eyed. “That was so hot.”
“It was!?”
“Yeah! You knew exactly what you were doing and you were so smooth! You made that look so easy and it would have taken me forever.”
I puffed up with pride and took my leave, mentally adding chicken wrangling to my list of sexy assets.
