hallo!!

vetty, 18, professional idiot. generally being consumed by sci-fi. she/her!

[aretrothing]

hallo, i’m vetty and this is my mess of a blog. there’s probably nothing of substance here but i love it anyway - and i hope you find something interesting in all this clutter, even if it's just ramblings about my life

some facts about ich: 

- british

- 18!

- she/her

- music fuels my soul

- learner of many languages, master of none

- fanfic writer when i can be bothered (ao3)

- history nerd of massive proportions (mostly cold war)

this blog is an archive of pretty much everything that i've been into since 2021 and it's not showing any signs of stopping soon. my interests change very quickly when they do so i'm likely to start talking about something random suddenly

current interests/fandoms: THE TRIPODSSSSSS

past fandoms (i still love them tho and i'm likely to still talk about them): ashes to ashes/life on mars, japan (the band)/yellow magic orchestra, the umbrella academy, star wars, tmbg, drop the dead donkey, classic who, the beatles, ds9

favourite musicians: sufjan stevens, japan (the band), david sylvian, of montreal, they might be giants, st vincent, aurora, cocteau twins, kraftwerk, talking heads, tv girl

bit of a germanophile, i speak conversational (ish) german and i'm very very interested in german history, hoping to become a specialist one day. also, spezi is the best soft drink fight me

it's a coincidence but half of the people in the things i'm into have been called david (david sylvian, david byrne, dave charnley)

i occasionally post my drawings on here, tagged as #my art

all my fics are under the cut bc it's a very long list

fics:

part of the reason i started this blog is bc i was writing fanfic so here are the ones i’ve written

standalone:

- happiness is sometimes a burden (a2a)

- if you find me (a2a)

- second time round (a2a)

- one day (a2a/stranger things)

- gone (a2a)

- our past, lying in the dust (on hiatus, a2a)

- snapshots from a different life (a2a)

- from the ground up (tua)

-a visitor (tua)

-the silvery water (doctor who)

-in stitches (doctor who)

(series)

- as the flower blooms (a2a), consisting of idumea and never the same, and a third fic which is mostly just ideas right now

- ruins of a rebuilt world (tua) consisting of wanderer (complete), the things we left behind (complete), unsafe grounds (on a hiatus thing) , plus the connected oneshots mama and i found you in the place i once called home

- hidden within the shadows (tua) consisting currently of:

world surrounds us with its hate 

but i had so much to give in spite of all the terror and abuse 

hello darkness my old friend, it breaks my heart, i’ve come to strangle you in spite of what you’d like

not posted:

the other one shots of hidden within the shadows (planned but need to be written)

drop the dead donkey fanfic (probably abandoned)

take his ass to the timeloop

i’m bored again but that’s nothing new. i’ve counted the freckles on your face (51), and the splotches on the wall (178,320, in the six foot section of the world i can see in from of me before it reds out), and my eyes aren’t good enough to count the hairs on your head.

take her ass to the timeloop

i lose myself in a fantasy for a moment, listening to the distant sound of someone talking; words, back when this was all new. memories of other voices are distant and half-imagined. i know academically other people can talk because you told me about yourself once, and the person i can’t see told me about the accident

take his ass to the timeloop

maybe it’s a memory or maybe it’s a dream, but i think about a beach. a world where the horizon isn’t red, where the infinite crashing of the vast ocean repeats. i think i was a beach guy.

[glitchlight]

take her ass to the timeloop

there’s things i used to think about that i don’t think about anymore because there’s no point. you know all this anyways, i’ve told you so many times, but. the man who is standing to my right, who i can’t see.

take his ass to the timeloop

i wonder about him sometimes, even now. i know, i know, there’s no point, there’s no point, but i wonder what runs through his mind. is he the lucky one?

take her ass to the timeloop

you and i have each other. he just has my right ear. my right hand, my best friend, the great big fuck up. but there’s no point, there’s no point, there’s no point. i’ll never know.

[glitchlight]

what do you mean accident?

did you know did you know did you know know know that light isn’t the fastest thing in the universe? everything without mass goes that fast, lights just what we see. i was told that at some point, and i don’t remember anymore why or when. but the fact stuck in my head, little scrap of glass, pearl to my brain oyster to you right now.

what do you mean accident?

i’m sorry i’m having trouble staying lucid right now. i’m having a bad timeloop. if i’m totally honest i’ve been having a bad time of it for a while now.

what do you mean accident?

i can always tell you about it though because whenever i have a bad timeloop i just look at your eyes and the flowers in your hair, and you make me feel better. how wonderful that i’m looking at you now and always will be.

[glitchlight]

take her ass to the timeloop

i want to pretend for a while, and i do, and i think about a memory or a fantasy or whatever about you and me and the man to my right at a beach with tall trees and rocky sand and water and the box that made all this possible and its fun! to think, to remember a place that’s different. i’m so glad you’re here with me.

take his ass to the timeloop

seagull screaming interspersed with the words that frame the world, maybe hotdogs, other people? and we’d sit there on the rocks and it’d be too too cold but we’d tough it out. i’m very tough. you remember right?

i’ll be sure to Remember that

eating is fun. its gotten a bit fuzzy but thats a good thing because we’d all be dead if we needed to eat. we’ll never die. i think i liked eating glass. beach glass was free candy in that far off before before before, all pastel colors and sharp razor bite. i’d give you some and you’d bite it happy and we’d remember it for ever ever ever

[glitchlight]

take his ass to the timeloop

there’s nothing to do but count and pretend and remember and you, but that’s okay. we have forever, so i can pretend a lot. being someone other than who i am, you’re someone other than who you are. you’re already two things, him and her, and that’s so interesting to me.

take her ass to the timeloop

lets pretend that– no no that’s boring. i’ll go back to counting counting counting. I’ll try and count the hairs on your head again, even if my eyes aren’t good enough. the effort’s worthwhile, and your hair is so pretty-handsome-pretty anyways.

take his ass to the——–

i love the flowers in your hair, all red and white.

[glitchlight]

take — ass to the timeloop

i’ve pretended to be different people before. maybe i’m pretending to be someone else now; it’s hard to remember. if it was important, would i have forgotten? we have enough time to figure it out though.

take — — to the timeloop

i’m taking a break from counting your hairs, or pretending to count your hairs, or pretending pretending pretending– and thinking about who i want to be next time. maybe i’ll count the spots on the wall and the freckles on your face and the shell casings on the ground again.

take — — – — timeloop

i meet your eyes again and i wonder, not for the first time, what you’re thinking, how much i want to tell you and have told you and will tell you am telling you. do the flowers make it hard to pretend?

wrote a thing a while ago, enjoy

[redstonedust]

the most important thing to know about the UK isnt the tea or the baked beans or whatever. its that mr brightside has been charting on the uk top 100 for 475 weeks, or about 9 years straight. sometimes it just randomly rises up to the top 40 for no reason. the grip that song has on our souls should be studied.

[redstonedust]

one time me and my coworkers were locked out of our storage building in the rain and we somehow ended up in an extremely passionate group rendition of mr brightside. like 30 people belting our hearts out, rain dripping down our faces. in my heart that is how this song should be ideally experienced tbh.

[its-g00se]

i thought this was exaggeration

[punkrock-bottom]

It’s still going strong btw at 505 weeks

[incognitopolls]

How much of the time do you wear prescription glasses or contacts?

All the time, they only come off if they'd be in the way for certain things

Most of the time, but sometimes I just don't wear them

Whenever I go somewhere, but not when I'm at home

Whenever I'm at home, but not when I go somewhere

Only at school/work/another specific span of time

Only to see particular things (e.g. to read a sign, then I take them off again)

Sometimes, based on some other criteria

Never, but I probably should wear them

Never, I have vision problems that can't be corrected with prescription lenses

Never, my vision is 20/20 or better
