One Step at a Time

Minors do not interact. 30s. (xe/xem/xyr) Thank you for being here, truly 🖤 We've got this, one step at a time, together.

About me & what you can expect here:

Goth & metalhead. Lover of visual art & poetry. I'm neurodivergent and rarely pick up on sarcasm. If you message me/make a text post without a visual indicating sarcasm (ex: ~[sarcastic comment]~ or [....]/s), I will likely think you're earnest & respond accordingly. This blog doesn't have a deliberate theme.

I primarily read & watch sci-fi, horror, and fantasy. Thinking about Garak & Bashir. Dreaming of Saru ❤️

I'm involved in too many fandoms to list them all, and posts from different fandoms will appear here, mixed together. However, I tag posts with their respective fandoms, so you should be able to block any that you don't care about easily. I tag spoilers with "(insert thing) spoilers" and "spoilers."

There will be horror art & art containing nudity. I tag body horror already, but if you have anything else that you'd like me to tag, please let me know :)

My broad interests include: manga (primarily josei, seinen, and shoujo) & other comics, anime (primarily seinen & shoujo), TTRPGs, books, music, video games (especially horror, JRPGs, tactics/strategy, farming games, and dating sims), board games, horror movies, period pieces, and nature.

PC, PS5, and Switch player for current-gen gaming.

Will also blog about witchcraft/magical practice, paganism, cooking, baking, Dimension 20, history, embroidery, and knitting on occasion.

If I end up deciding to share my writing again, that will be elsewhere.

I'm finishing up The Greenhollow Duology by Emily Tesh, and I desperately wish there was more in this setting! I don't generally read romantasy, but I am so here for this! The fact that I loved Tobias feels like it may have helped 😂

I need more books written for adults that weave together folklore/mythology and queer romance, as well as more queer fantasy books written for adults in general. Short stories are great too :) Does anyone have recommendations?

I've read the Legends & Lattes series by Travis Baldree and am currently reading the Tomes and Tea books by Rebecca Thorne. I recently read Metal From Heaven by August Clarke and adored it. I've picked up A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland, but I haven't started it yet.

Why are your standards so high?!

Because of guys like him---

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please reblog.

[fish-fish2]

Reblogging this again because I completely forgot about it and just recently checked out 6 books from my local library lol

There is vegan egg white now! It's made using yeast, like vegan lactose-free dairy (Bored Cow, Brave Robot ice cream [R.I.P], etc.) and modern insulin. I'm excited to try it in angel food cake, souffle, torrone, suspiros, and macarons :) If you want to see if it's available to ship to you, it's made by a company called Healthier Comforts. Just make sure you buying the one that says animal-free and vegan on the bag.

If the things I used to make are successful, then I'll try making farófias and pudim molotov. I'm saving those for last since I don't have experience making them from before going vegan

For anyone trying to find a place to watch this, it's available on Kanopy. It wound up teaching me a lot, even as someone fairly familiar with queer history. There's also loads of queer transmasc representation in it during the fictional sequences--which are sandwiched between real interviews & conversations--and is refreshingly hopeful, especially for the subject matter. There are discussions & depictions of homophobia, transphobia, and hiv+ stigma in the movie, but the main focus is queer joy and connection.

If you've never used Kanopy, it connects to your library card/cards and you don't have to pay anything for it. All you need is an email you can use to make an account & a public library card :)
