a lil intro :)

hi hello to anyone who's checking this out!

i’m caitlin, an aspiring fantasy writer and maybe poet, english literature nerd and general fandom weirdo who likes to talk a lot about all my many many obsessions :)

i'm newish to actively participating on this site as opposed to watching thru the window of pinterest...but i think its time i stop pretending there are limits to my insane obsessions ya know

i talk about: writing, procrastinating writing, reading writing and characters in writing who drive me insane!

my writing: i write poetry which i will post on here occasionally! but my main writing that is intended for other ppl to read is fanfic, and my fantasy wip:

my fics that you can go read literally right now if you want:

just to sit outside your door - buddie post-hiatus wip

if I glued myself shut (you would find your way in) - buck's pov during the 'are his concerns your concerns', feeling realisation

you've haunted me, so stunningly - eddie pov during the post -lightning convo w buck, based on that amazing edit making the rounds rn

just to sit outside of your (ipad screen) light - eddie post-hiatus mini fic, feelings realisation

the witches wip: a ya fantasy book (one day trilogy i hope!) about a world where witches are gone, but persecution of them isn't. trying to save her innocent sister from execution, my fmc gets dragged into a storm of political plotting, conflicting agendas and strange powers beyond her comprehension. a book about family, and realising that what you thought was a bedtime story might still be around to haunt you... tagged with #the witches wip

my ao3: a_fantasy_2 - all the good stuff is copied above! tags are #shameless fanfic plug and #caitlin's original writing

my sideblog: the blog incoherency was getting a bit much even for me so i now have a side blog just for Bards of New York content!!! check it out here

main fandoms: i have been in a ridiculous number of fandoms so this is not all of them but these are my main ones - bold are ones im currently in the trenches abt :)

heated rivalry (duhhhhhhh)

9-1-1 (but any more discourse will kill me. i just want chill buddie and general theorising and fics mk)

marauders (my og loml one true fandom its a canon event i fear)

good omens (book and tv show changed my life)

anything leigh bardugo but SoC and RoW especially

supernatural (its been a while but then again i'm fandom posting on this site so its kinda a given)

anything by chloe gong....(message me PLEASE. best ya fantasy writer and my literal writing idol)

EPIC the musical - i love this so freaking much, if you don't know what this is go find out u won't regret it

hamilton (i am in fact hamiltrash, unfortunately)

all for the game (despicable. and yet...)

Bards of New York (i have a sideblog!!! see here <3)

tagging system: i got one of those creepy teeth 'frequent poster badges', so i think it might be time for me to get one of these. ahem. on an incoherent blog, i declare order:

#caitlin writes and yaps abt it - writblr content (these will almost always have the 'writblr' and 'writers on tumblr' tag as well)

#caitlin's homebrew hallucinations - any writing or OC content from my wips or poetry i share

#the witches wip - specific wip content!

#caitlin the english major - literature posts

#caitlin reblogs from even cooler blogs and/or #caitlin's moot besties - reblogging my moots or other cool ppl!

#caitlin does ask games / #caitlin does reblog games - making a separate tag bc i LOVE these

#shameless fanfic plug - fics that i write on ao3 and want to share here

#caitlin rambles miscellaneous - anything else thats incoherent

fandom posts will all be tagged with their fandom and with #caitlin a fandom nerd

sound good? let me know if this actually makes this blog make any more sense mk team

please send me: asks/posts/comments about these fandoms, short fic writing prompts within these fandoms, writblr content, writing questions, or literature thoughts :)

DO NOT send me requests for money or ai content. i will block and delete, here’s why. this applies to any and all requests.

any ads on this blog are tumblr bowing down to capitalism and absolutely not under my control, consent or endorsement.

if u real all that, much love and come say hi! i love yapping abt book recs or fandoms or writing or literally anything ever <3

[afantasyoffiction]

Thinking about Grace explaining that plants actually aren’t carnivorous and Simon slowly comes to terms with it and learns all about plant growth which is really healing.

then he finds out about venus fly traps.

(it should be noted this is not Caitlin, I have borrowed her voice to speak nonsense)

Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

[shamebats]

What it looks like on the right side of a Hawaiian shirt I shortened and hemmed by hand.

oh my god tysm for explaining this it has been driving me insane ALL FUCKING DAY

[not-equippedforthis]

thinking about a very specific scenario of a grace with no video logs, with no xenonite failure, who comes back to earth as rocky comes back to erid, heart full but missing a very distinct piece. ten, twenty years go by, and grace is not malnourished nor does he look even half his age, but there's a deepset something in his eyes that has nothing to do with stratt's actions being revealed or the press or adjusting to earth again. about earth getting news of a ship coming down, whose atmosphere is fundamentally different now and causes trouble for that ship. damages sustained on that ship. a red light in the sky. suspected eridian contact as confirmed by dr ryland grace. thank you tom, anna temple here and we're live at nasa's makeshift landing pad, ready to receive, watching- oh, my- a row of officials that cannot pin down ryland grace this time as he, live on air, tears apart every country's anxiety of eridians by ripping from the crowd and jumping the fence into the launching area. a camera pan that judders from dr grace sprinting, the most energetic he's been in years, to a brown eridian kareening towards him in a xenonite suit. prepared to catch ryland's tackle and embrace him properly, there on the green grass, for the very first time. first contact.

"op explain this" "op what does this mean" you have NO appreciation for absurdism and it SHOWWWS

[elliespectacular]

[afantasyoffiction]

this but also to me ‘hey op what the fuck does this mean’ is like. me participating in and even appreciating the absurdism. there’s actually nothing i want less than for op to explain themselves it’s just a fun group bonding exercise

The fact that an album with 21 songs the majority of which are 5 minutes long is still in the top 10 is a testament to you guys being the most incredible fans in the world

[afantasyoffiction]

crazy to hear this from the musician of the album i’ve listened to on loop for a month straight (gay) but ok

[afantasyoffiction]

i love reblogging seven posts in an idle moment and then forgetting about it bc it means the next day i open this app and get to be like ‘wow why the FUCK do i have notifications again’
