Former youtuber // Creator of "What Your Favorite Ship Says About You" and "When Posting Goes Wrong" // compulsive shitposter // LA transgender lesbian dirtbag
Are you the person who did When Posting Goes Wrong (bone stealing witch, ms. scribe, HIV Hamilton)? - Yes.
Are you still making videos? - No, I gave up making videos to focus on my irl career. I may return to it some day but for now I'm just a shitposter.
Should I call you Eldena or Doubleca5t or Ms. Ca5t or do you have a real name or what? I accept any and all variations on my username. You can also just call me Minerva.
Why is the HIVLiving video gone? One of the "main characters" so to speak, of the HIV Living saga started drama with a friend of mine and tried to rope me into it. I did not want to side with them in the drama, but I also did not want to profit from their story if I was on bad terms with them, so I took the video down. Additionally, a lot of that video was heavily speculative and I have reason to believe that a lot of my speculation was very, very wrong. Would rather move past the whole thing than try to salvage it.
What are your pronouns? - she/her
Are you LGBT? - I’m a trans lesbian (NOTE: I came out in December 2020 so if you’re reading my old posts or watching my old videos they will not reflect this)
Are you single? - I'm married 💞
Who's the lucky lady? - their name is Frenzy, pronouns they/he/she They're an artist. You can find them on tumblr and twitter. Follow them if you like clowns, sexy demon women, sexy demon clowns, homestuck (derogatory), or if you want to see some silly comics about our domestic life.
What is your day job? - I work in home insurance.
Should I watch RWBY? - Probably not. RWBY is a weird, wonky show that is very much hit or miss. However, if you're really into femslash, and especially if you're into femslash and like action anime, I would recommend giving it a shot with the knowledge that it gets better in Volume 2 and gets a LOT better in Volume 3.
Am I trans/an egg? - I cannot answer this question for you. My only recommendation is that if you're having some Gender Emotions and think you might be trans, play around with a new name and/or pronouns in limited situations or try out a different gender presentation in terms of clothes or hair.
Where are you from? - I am PEAK Dumb American. I was born and raised in the US, I only speak English and I’ve never left the country. I currently live in Los Angeles, though I grew up and went to school elsewhere.
How do you pronounce your URL? - the 5 is supposed to be an S, so it’s pronounced as “Double Cast”. I originally wanted “doublecast” or “d0ublecast” but those were taken.
What does your URL/Your username on other sites mean? - My username is a reference to the unlockable hidden character Eldena and the Red Mage ability Doublecast from my favorite game, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
What's your hair routine? - Right here
Can I draw fanart of you? - Yes, but you are NOT allowed to send it to me or tag me in it
Do you answer all your asks? - No. I receive an ungodly amount of asks and delete a good 70% of them.
How do you tag your stuff? - I use the following tags:
#doubleca5t OC = my original content
#Red Mage Lookbook = selfies
#frenzy art 🥰 = Frenzy's art <3
#qualität scheißepfosten = faves tag (humor)
#that’s some good shit = faves tag (fan art)
#this image causes me physical pain = cringe tag
#jesus christ = posts that made me say “jesus christ” out loud (because laugh tags are overrated)
#frenzy shop = advertisements for Frenzy's Etsy, which you can find here
#frenzycore = things that remind me of my wife
Other than that, everything SHOULD be tagged correctly by fandom/character/ship.
Here's some of the notes, starting with the things multiple people brought up:
SHRIMP COCKTAIL:
banahbanah: #flashback to that one fic where Peter Parker frets about drinking shrimp cocktail because of the alcohol
generaldeliciousness: adding: what a prawn/shrimp cocktail is
#why is your character turning it down because they're under 21 #do you think prawn cocktail is a cocktail #this lives in my brain rent-free constantly #the rest of the fic was so normal #and good enough that i'll still re-read it #but bro
And then many, MANY, people wondering if this was actually authour mistake, since Peter really would do this!
POMEGRANATES:
