Hi!!

I guess this is like my introduction post!! I’m Lynn, or Drinking Coffee in Beakers! I was previously LabGrownPoet, but that tumblr is sadly deleted.

I’m a fanfic writer, artist, and very broke college student. My ask box is open to anybody who wants to chat.

Proshippers, MAPs, and batcest please DNI!! Also, I like to keep all my stuff SFW for personal/comfortability reasons (cough cough ace cough cough). Multishippers welcome!!

some little fun facts

I’m a Christian! Love Jesus, love people.

I’m an adult (21)

I have ASD and GAD, so sometimes I can come off as rude. I’m sorry if I do and will work to not do so. Lemme know if I ever make you feel insulted and I’ll try to fix that!

My favorite Robin is Tim because he’s what got me into collecting comics in middle school, but I'm also a Duke, Cass, and Steph defender

I am a chemistry/criminal justice student!

I'm ace

I like answering questions!!

pronouns: she/her

I can’t really think of anything much else about me. About this blog:

I will post fanart, fanfics, and AU focused stuff. I currently have six aus in the works which will be tagged

UDnB (Upside Down and Backwards AU. It’s my reverse robins au but I rewrote everything so the timeline made sense.)

CITC (Cobwebs in the Corner: Peter in Gotham AU)

J:FAU (Jason-focused Fantasy AU: it’s like a medieval little world. It’s very much in conception stage. It’s how I show my love.)

FW!FF (Future World Flash Family. This isn’t set in the future; I just thought the name was cool. Basically, it’s just twister and her no good very bad day(s))

GUG AU (Gotham’s UnderGround AU: Basically just all my rogues and their lore. Mostly Jaelyn.)

XM:U (X-men: Unbridled. Featuring the interdimensional people pleaser, Prof. Science, the not-so-evil IT mom, the snake boys, literal Outer Space, a gamer, Dr. Who, Dr. House, Kinda-sorta-Mary Poppins, and Jameson)

I also post about X-men because yes 🙂‍↕️

if you want to follow me elsewhere, I’m

DrinkingCoffeeinBeakers on ao3. I repost my fanfics here too!

beakers_bombs_n_social_justice and local_chem_nerd, as well as like…14 other characters on OCS (I'm not really active on there anymore though)

Also feel free to DM me on discord or anything. I’m lynn_oftheivy77 on there.

rewatching the xmen movie and wow i fear it is more poignant then ever

My Blog is strictly Anti Generative AI

I use no Generative AI to write for me.

I use no Generative AI to create images for me.

I do not wish to write with people who actively use Generative AI.

If you write with me, you won't ever have to fear any AI being used to doing my replies for you. I will not feed your writing to ChatGPT and the like, and I would appreciate it if you don't feed my writing to any kind of Generative AI either. You do not have my consent to do so.

If I reblog AI images/text or use images for aesthetics/graphics that were originally generated without realizing, please let me know. Generative AI images have infiltrated Pinterest and other sites so much, it can be hard to tell sometimes.

I can’t believe we’ve come this far.

using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

[starry-voidss]

do you think there are people in the xmen universe who push for the term “people with mutations” instead of “mutants”

Gentle Reminder

You have survived 100% of your worst days. You are stranger than you know, braver than you believe and kinder than most of the world. Stay strong and don't let it get you too down. You can do this, because you've been through so much already that the mountain of evidence shows it. Keep on living, even if through spite. <3

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon

I miss dangerous crow boy whose job is to destroy plastic. I wonder how he's doing now.

[mawofthemagnetar]

What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?

When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.
