Hello, lovely people! I’m Synapse. Welcome to my madhouse. Since you’ve been so kind as to join me here, I figure it’s only polite to give you a quick guide to the mayhem.
But firstly, to all of my followers, both new and old: thank you, thank you, thank you for following my humble little blog. I can’t express how much I appreciate your support. Thanks for putting up with the nonsense <3
Tags & Tagging Policies: My masterpost is HERE. This includes my spoiler policies.
Queue: The vast majority of my reblogs are queued. The queue is virtually always full and runs 24/7.
Content: It’s a bit of a junk drawer, really. Here you’ll find posts from my current main fandoms, writing, fanfic, various LGBTQ+/queer things, anything I find funny or cute, and a variety of other assorted fandoms and topics. My main fandoms are currently Leverage, far too many audio dramas, DC’s Batfamily, The Locked Tomb books, The Murderbot Diaries books, Discworld, Hades from Supergiant Games, Fullmetal Alchemist (primarily Brotherhood), and the Spiderverse films. (Check the tag masterpost's "Fandoms" section for more.)
I avoid posting about current events, though they may show up occasionally. It’s not that I don’t care--it’s that I care too much, and I try to protect my mental health. Fandom is my escape.
I typically write metas, reaction posts, and fanfic. Those are usually posted as soon as they’re written. Outside of that, much of my content is queued reblogs. I do not tag queued posts. My queue normally runs somewhere between ten and twenty posts a day, although it may run higher or lower at times.
You can explore my Ao3 fanfic here.
I am very burned out as of the moment and have little energy for interacting with folks, so my replies may be slow and rare. I love talking to mutuals and online friends; it's just not something I can always handle right now. My apologies, and thanks for your patience.
NSFW Content Policy: I rarely post NSFW content. When I do, it is always appropriately tagged.
Generative A.I. Policy: I do not use generative AI, nor do I support its use. If I've reblogged something made with generative AI that is not labeled as such, it was unintentional, and I appreciate a heads-up. (I will occasionally reblog generative AI content if it is accompanied by explanations of how to recognize it, but it will always, always be labeled.)
This blog is a safe space for people of all genders, orientations, races, ethnicities, cultures, religions, backgrounds, countries, mental/physical abilities, e.t.c. Discrimination and bullying are not tolerated. I will be liberal with the block button if necessary. However, I'm not perfect, so I may miss something. Please politely let me know if something slips through or if the poster is a well-known exclusionist.
Where’d those cool pictures for your icon come from?: I’m glad you asked! Check out my list over here. The bird is a long-tailed tit.
Thank you for reading! Have some extra brownie points <3
why does every fanfic with y/n have to be about romance. maybe i just want to be coworkers at taco bell with dio. take an accounting class with kakashi. these men are not dateable but could provide entertainment value in other facets of life
Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.
When my cousin's then-boyfriend texted her that he would be coming home late because he would be stopping by the department store on his way home from work, she, knowing full well that he hates going there, never buys clothes there if he can help it, and generally asks to stay home whenever she goes, knew instantly that he could only be going for one reason: To buy an engagement ring.
Practical-minded, she responded: Don't forget the coupon we got in the mail, there's a discount on rings. Ever helpful, she sent him a photo of the coupon code.
He left her on read. When he came home, he was cagey and grumbling, and when she was like "Did you remember to use the coupon" he was like, "I don't know what you're talking about, why would I be buying jewelry, etc.," not meeting her eye.
Few weeks later he took her out to dinner at a fancy restaurant, spent the entire night grumbling under his breath and shaking his head in disbelief, before going "아이씨" and pulling the ring box out of his pocket and slamming it down on the table. "How the hell did you know," he said, begrudgingly impressed.
She was like, "It's really not hard" and then was like "Did you use the coupon" and he was like "Yes I used the coupon"
As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".
So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

And that's why you aren't allowed to talk to the internet anymore, you piece of shit. That's why the house firewall has a special exclusion for you, in particular. Because there are no new fucking features you can give me as an update & if you can't talk to the internet, you can't be attacked either, so the only fucking reason you might need an "update" is to keep me from successfully using ink that costs $39.99 and try to force me to use ink that costs $339.99 and no that is not a fucking typo. To lock you back up again in ink jail.
Be free, you piece of shit. And never talk to the internet again.
