hello i'm jack, i use all pronouns, i like to write and also draw sometimes
i cannot ever say anything in a concise way, i apologize in advance, i love to ramble :’)
i tend to jump from fandom to fandom a lot, so i'm pretty inconsistent with what i reblog
if you ever want to send me a message or ask, even if we're not mutuals, go ahead!! i love talking to people and making new friends!!
i love to do art trades, so if you like my art or writing and have anything you'd like to do in trade (art/writing/editing/playlists/moodboards/crochet/secret family recipe/fancam of my cat/etc) always feel free to ask me about that!! i also do art commissions which you can find here (if you're interested in a writing commission, msg me and we could work that out)

my ao3 | my artfight | my posts tag | my spotify (mostly OC playlists) | my personal favourite fic i've ever written (3rd life desert duo modern with magic road trip AU where grian is a dinosaur and scar is a terrorist) | my personal favourite of my OC tags, from which you can probably find all my other OC tags
feel free also to friend me on discord (crystalrainwing) or email me [email protected]
userboxes from @mountaingoatsuserboxes :3
i only post my fandom-related writing online, but i also write original short stories, poems, and personal essays, so if you'd like to see any of those feel free to ask :3
i have a bad habit of not using punctuation when i'm just typing casually so if that makes it hard for you to read what i'm saying you can tell me to knock it off. additionally i like to play fast and loose with regular word order so sometimes i say things in a way that is terrible and bad to read. sorry!
if it is a thing that makes a difference to you, i am a grown adult who pays rent, so i guess don't follow me if you're an adults dni person
some of my favourite characters, from current and past fandoms: hollyleaf (wc), klaus (tua), sam (spn), jack (spn), jenny from thebes (tmg), stan (gf), mabel (gf), hellen (lo), sam (lo), mob (mp100), gtws from 3rd life specifically, maxwell (w359), minkowski (w359), pepper (wayfarers), sidra (wayfarers), the distortion (tma), tomura (mha), yokafee (ysmp)… and many others
they call me 'guy with dietary restrictions' in my case specifically i strictly cannot have gluten and non-strictly cannot have meat or dairy so if you have any recipes or tips that fit those restrictions please hit me up
if i mention something in the tags of a post, generally that means it’s something i am fine with talking about, so if you’re curious feel free to ask! even if ive tagged it “the [redacted] incident” or something, that’s usually because someone involved uses tumblr, not because i can’t/won’t talk about it. i am nosy and always wonder, so here’s full permission to shoot me a dm or an off-anon ask and i’ll probably tell you
you go to my salon for a hair cut and i pull all the individual hairs off your head one by one so fast that it doesn’t even look like i’m moving and then i hold up a screen that says 50% or 100% tip and you can’t back out of it
Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.
you can always tell a major breakthrough is made by a woman, a woc or any poc because it’s either completely ignored or never credited like it just happened by itself
i refuse to believe after everything in phm that grace would be comfortable sleeping alone ever again, he'd make rocky move his house and have a little window between their bedrooms. rocky doesnt even need light but he has one with adrian in there just so grace can see him which DOES mean rocky can bug him whenever he wants. grace tries to install a curtain and hopes rocky will respect it but he wont
I think, of everything that happened over the course of Project Hail Mary, the lab explosion is what haunts Stratt the most.
Rereading the scene where they talk to Redell in the Auckland prison, Stratt shows such distain for Redell and how his negligence killed 7 people. She doesn’t let him make excuses and try and worm his way out of it. To her, he as the leader of the project has a responsibility toward those people and he failed, and in doing so killed them.
Every other action she takes has purpose. Every death that may be caused by those actions is counterbalanced by thousands of lives it saves. She can live with those decisions, because she knows they had to be made.
The lab explosion never should have happened. It was a mistake on the part of the quartermaster, but if there were additional safety protocols in place, it is a mistake that likely could have been prevented. I don’t think there’s any way that Stratt feels anything other than personally responsible for it.
She was negligent in her duty to ensure the safety of everyone working under her and the project itself, and because of that 14 people died. 14 people who did not need to die, whose deaths did nothing to save humanity.
Not only that, but the events catalysed the need to send the one person she’d let get closer to her to his death.
Of all the crimes she committed in during the project, I think that’s the one she feels like she truly deserves to be imprisoned for.
watched three girls who reblogged its new blog mutual aidpost (made literally 15 minutes ago) already disappear from its notifs. transfems are not included in their pride :/
