I write things sometimes :)

Finn_M_Corvex on ao3! This is my Ninjago sideblog! I write good fics (according to everyone else) and my requests are open! No guarantee on how long they'll take though. The progenitor of Office Jay, the birthplace of Suit Jay propoganda. Prime Empire rewrite author!

[finn-m-corvex]

First Post Redo!

Hi everyone! My name is Finn, and welcome to my blog for silly little lego men. I was originally in the fandom ~2017ish, but I fell out of it pretty hard. Luckily for everyone here, I am back with a vengeance.

All of my blog tags (pertaining to me) can be found in the tag section of this post ^^

🔴 My ao3 is Finn_M_Corvex! That's where I post any of my stories over 5k words unless it's under special circumstances (which is. most of my stuff lol). My requests are OPEN so feel free to send any in, although I am reserving the right to turn one down if I so choose. Find my masterpost here!

🟠 No DMs unless we've talked in tags / reblogs OR you're a moot please! I'm not scary though; ask anyone whose had a conversation with me and I'm like a tiny golden retriever. I have so much social anxiety though help-

🟡 I am 20! But I still have boundaries!! Don't be weird please!

🟢 My pronouns are he/him OR she/her, but he/him is preferred please! No they/them or neopronouns!

🔵 My favorite ninja is Jay and that's who the majority of my stuff is about so he's not your thing you may kindly show yourself out. Feel free to request other characters though!

🟣 If you remember seeing my name somewhere, this is my second blog! My first one was hacked and unfortunately deleted so this is my do-over

🟤 Always willing to help with homework and stuff if you need it, just drop it in the Finnbox (asks) and I'll see what I can do!

⚪ Do not be an asshole on my things, I will not hesitate to block you on sight, esp if you're a weirdo. I've had enough not-great experiences on here and I'm not very tolerant.

⚫ YOU CAN ALWAYS DO STUFF WITH MY WORK EXCEPT FEEDING IT TO AN A.I. Podfics, fanart, translations, anything like that! Just make to credit me and tag me properly so I can see it!

Hello everyone, after 3 years the first chapter of the Ninjago/Voltron AU is finally out! This has been a huge labor of love for me and my co-writer @finn-m-corvex and we hope y’all enjoy it too :)

Prologue: The Pilots (4731 words) by Finn_M_Corvex, CaptainSpaceKin Chapters: 1/8 Fandom: LEGO Ninjago (Cartoon 2011-2022) Rating: Mature Summary: “I’m just gonna say it,” Jay said, holding the radar in one hand and testing its weight, “this is super freaky.”

“You could say that again,” Cole said from behind him. The older boy had gravitated towards the wall that had his grandfather’s portrait on it, and Jay could hear the tinges of sadness mixed in with Cole’s bewilderment. “They’ve got a ton of stuff from the Garrison here. My grandpa’s picture, reports, science articles. It’s all stuff from the Kerberos mission. I don’t even know where they could’ve gotten half this stuff.”

“Kerberos?” Jay said, slightly alarmed. “What were they doing with the stuff about Kerberos?” “I think,” Cole said, “that they were investigating it. It looks like Uncle Ray and Aunt Maya think that maybe…maybe it wasn’t an accident.”

[finn-m-corvex]

IT'S TIMEEEEE~!

Cap and I have officially posted the first chapter of the Ninjago/Voltron AU! We've been working on this masterpiece (clusterfuck) for over three years, and we're finally in a place to start posting it!

You can find it here!

The next chapter will be posted soon (it's a big one so I have a lot of editing to do) but it would mean the world to me if you guys could check it out 💙

[creekfiend]

it's interesting to me to see like. within queer communities the thing where if you said "things are really fucking stressful and awful for us right now and it's giving us a lot of really terrible feelings that don't have an outlet" ppl are like "yes, true" and then if you're like "it's far easier and safer to vent that frustration and fear on accessible members of your own community than it is to try to vent it on the people who are actually in power" they would be like "yes, true" and if you said "it feels better to justify venting that frustration and fear and anger if you can frame it in head as very important and righteous, rather than admitting that it's a coping mechanism being utilized by a fallible human being undergoing very difficult circumstances" they'd say "yes that's also true"

but if you're like "this is relevant to your own current behavior" with the implication that the intracommunity thing they're currently big mad about is actually not as important and righteous as they're casting it in their head, it's like "no no. not MY behavior. mine is rational and I am correct. the issue I am fighting with other queer people about like rats in a sack IS actually the most important issue to be addressing right now"

and like

this is stuff I have to constantly watch out for in my own behavior! it is absolutely absolutely a thing, and absolutely something we ALL deal with and are capable of engaging in. it's ramped up in intensity the last year or two and I don't think that is a coincidence. I wish we were more capable of this level of analysis of this stuff without getting defensive.

and like, again, it isn't like it's evil. I don't think it's GOOD to do, but as I said, it's the completely understandable behavior of a human being under considerable stress. we need to cut ourselves a break in order to be able to be honest about what we are doing sometimes.

Congrats(?) - you have discovered that not everyone has metacognition, or the ability to think about their own thoughts and look at them (somewhat) objectively. It’s really frustrating for people who do have good metacognition, especially because people who don’t have it just think you’re crazy. 🤪

[creekfiend]

IS THAT THE WORD FOR THAT

[finn-m-corvex]

You know things are getting questionable when the Ninjago author starts branching out into supernatural fanfiction on a whim

[rederiswrites]

Cannot express how disinterested I am in seeing traumatized characters "reconcile" with their canonically shitty parental figures.

[rederiswrites]

I probably don't have to even say this but this has turned out to be the most "omg Blorbo from my shows" post I could have made. I have no idea who tf 90% of the people in the tags are but you're very passionate about them.

[rederiswrites]

[what-even-is-thiss]

im so confused about the artemis thing because theres that post going around about how its propoganda and they make a lot of good points but people i care about a lot are really excited about it and i dont want to hurt them and honeslty im tired of things that look good being bad

Hey.

The fascists don’t like NASA.

They don’t want stuff like this to happen.

They want to give NASA’s budget to the already bloated military.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s fine to celebrate a massive peaceful scientific achievement that’s a collaboration between the US and Canada space programs during a time when there’s so much bad news elsewhere.

I personally hope that this encourages a lot of kids to grow up and defend our space agencies.

[indigo-brainspark]

but DO techbros like nasa? a lot of techbros i see are super into the idea of privatized space travel industry and colonizing mars, the first of which nasa is directly opposed to, and the second which nasa isn't really focused on.

the techbros i see really aren't into the type of science nasa does focus on researching, which is far less glamorous than what they want.

[scrungledwung]

Not only do tech bros generally hate the quiet kind of science that NASA does alongside the flashy launches (NASA is a primary reason why we have literally any weather data in the US), but tech bros REALLY hate the other half of the Artemis Program that I don't really hear people talk about much

The Artemis Accords are one of the first large-scale civil policies about space and related activities to come about since the Outer Space Treaty in 1967. NASA wants to hold people (at least a little) accountable for the junk they're leaving in our orbit, and not enough people talked about this shit back when it got signed, so I wanna talk about it now

Artemis Accords - NASA

NASA, in coordination with the U.S. Department of State and seven other initial signatory nations, established the Artemis Accords in 2020.

[sentimentalslut]

"very guilty and problematic client" holy copaganda batman

[sentimentalslut]

let’s start parsing who does and doesn’t deserve representation and assign moral weight to agreeing to protect their rights I don’t see how this could possibly go wrong

[anarchistmemedistro]

[bitch-duck]

This is the endpoint of assigning morality based on ontologies of people. You wind up with the simplest ontology: good or bad.

[madlori]

Getting tired of saying this but

THE POINT OF A DEFENSE ATTORNEY ISN'T TO GET THEIR CLIENT OFF. IT'S TO MAKE THE STATE PROVE THEIR CASE AND DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE.

IT'S TO PROVIDE A CHECK ON THE POWER OF THE STATE TO JUST THROW PEOPLE IN JAIL.

If someone "gets off" because of a technicality that means the state DID NOT DO THAT.

Hi Im still thinking about everything related to Jays kidnapping bc wtf

Fanfiction is great because you can see so clearly how people learn to write.

Some people, it's clear, learned almost entirely through absorbing the world around them. Grammar and punctuation will be all over the place, spellings are approximate, but the voice of the narration will come through so clearly. You can hear the dialect of the people around them as of they're telling the story. It's not a written story, it's a transcription of how they talk in their day to day life.

Some people learned through reading a gazillion books as a kid. Grammer and spelling will be rock solid, formatting occasionally based on the single tab of physical books rather than the double tab of online scrolling, but dialogue is often stilted and overly formal. You might notice a lack of contractions and very rigid rules they made for consistency that actually have a lot more flexibility than they think. They tend to have a fantastic grasp of sentence flow, though.

And other people formally learned how to write. This could be anywhere from taking school classes seriously because they enjoyed writing stories as a kid to literal certifications and jobs in the field. Grammer is flawless. Punctuation is triple checked. Foreign words are in italics. Characters have distinct voices. But their self indulgence is tempered by perfectionism. They know precisely what they want from a fic. Authors notes often feature mutterings about their happiness with the chapter. Kaomojis often appear! They seek a style to their writing, and it makes for some wonderfully clever plots! These are the ones most likely to get fun with formatting!

And some people.... Some people examined it all. They dissect dialogue, people watch, cross reference behaviours and compare characters to people irl. You can tell almost immediately who had formative experiences with Terry pratchett and/or ghibli, because it's these people. While others see writing as fun, expression, craft, they see it as art. Plain and simple. Sure, the grammar is occasionally sacrificed on the altar of creative freedom, and the occasional sentence might miss a full stop, but these people seem to self reflect on themselves as part of the art making process. On occasion, these people have the most masterful grasp of dialogue and invocation and hand sewn characterisations. Formatting is pretty standard because all the focus is on the actual words. These fics can be edited to the moon and back!

All of these can vary wildly in forethought and quality, and betas can often catch individual problems before they hit post, but just. Isn't it so cool? What's that one Oscar Wilde quote about every mask just being another fragment of yourself?

Did you recognise yourself?

video description under cut

Short description:

An animatic to Running On A Treadmill by Oingo Boingo. The animatic shows Jay from Ninjago experiencing manipulation from the Administration, particularly Donovan, as omens such as a sickly wolf and a silhouette of his past self loom between scenes.

Long description:

An animatic to Running On A Treadmill by Oingo Boingo. The first shot, to the lyrics "you've got me so I'm running round and round in circles" shows Jay from Ninjago in a button-up shirt being pulled by the arm, before cutting to a faceless wolf turning in a circle.

The next line "you've got me so I can't see my own face" shows a man in a suit with eyes obscured by glare across his glasses, until he ducks down and holds out a piece of paper. The paper is revealed to be a photograph of him and Jay, however he is holding it so that his thumb is covering Jay's face.

The next shot with is to the lyrics "you've got me so I feel I've been like this forever". Jay is shown with his arms cross as three images fall into place behind him: himself in a tattered blouse, himself in a ninja gi, with his back turned, and a non-descript briefcase.

"You've got me so I'm crazy with disgrace" shows Jay turning around before the camera pans to the wolf now lying still on the ground.

During the instrumental, a security camera is shown panning. Then, a faceless Jay with a device held up toward him, which flashes with identification before spinning into a chair with a helmet-like machine above it. Lastly, a document is shown being signed.

To the lyrics "I know what's on your mind, but it's not what you think it is", Jay is first shown with a thought bubble portraying a human girl. A speech bubble bursts the thought, showing an anthropomorphic eel instead, before sliding to show that the speech belongs to Donovan. The scene then repeats, with a thought of Cole being replaced by Donovan himself.

Finally, to "I'm running on a treadmill after you, I'm running on a treadmill now", Jay is shown standing next to five star-like sparks. When he reaches out to them, the raise above him, and a sixth appears behind his back. As the lyrics repeat, the spark behind Jay turns into a silhouette of his past self, and the two circle around each other, before Jay is thrown into an office chair, alone.

I am pro-accredited aquariums and zoos. My posts critiquing the animal rights movement are blowing up right now and I just want to come out and say definitively that I appreciate zoos and aquariums allowing the public to view wild animals without potentially disturbing them in their natural habitat or resorting to the illegal exotic pet trade. It is valuable for conservation purposes and many aquariums/zoos take unreleasable wildlife and host breeding programs for endangered species. They are not just institutions for human amusement, they are integral to maintaining public interest and studying the ecology and biology of the animals contained within.
