my fanfic masterlist

Baldur's Gate 3

Merit the Lyre and the Absolute Crisis (Multi-chapter | complete) Up until four days ago, Merit the Lyre was just a bard tasked with an assassination contract. Now, with a tadpole in her head, Merit's goals are simple: survive, earn gold, and gain fame. So long as the tadpole stays dormant, and her new friends don't find out about her past, everything will be fine. That's what she keeps telling herself, at least.

Merit the Lyre and the Dance with Death (One-chapter | complete) Merit was no stranger to seducing who she could for the chance pick-pockets and rob homes. To Merit, Astarion was just another mark. Whether or not Astarion was who he said he was, Merit knew for sure that he was rich, and likely connected. Conning him would give her the wealth and influence needed to save herself, and her troupe, from spending any more nights on the streets.

Merit the Lyre and the Bounty Hunter (Two-chapters | complete) Merit's past catches up with her when she runs into a bounty hunter who's looking for known assassin 'Merit the Lyre'. Though Merit was unable to complete her assassination contract due to her abduction by the illithid ship, her new friends are forced to reassess their opinions of her when they learn who her target was, and who tasked her with the job.

Dragon Age

The Long Road - (Collection of One-shots | ongoing) Usually, military tactical meetings were where Jeriden Aeducan thrived. But she wasn’t a princess anymore, just another solider to be fed to the darkspawn.

With Neither Blade Nor Shield - (Multi-part Series | ongoing) One of Amell’s earliest memories was the sound of his mother’s cries as the templars dragged him from his home. It was clear from early on that there were only two paths for mages in the circle: be perfectly behaved or die.

Crossing Paths - (One-chapter | complete) Before their famous/infamous heroics, Hawke and Mahariel cross paths outside of Lothering.

Fallout New Vegas

You Should See the Other Guy - (One-shot) Courier Six leaves the Tops Casino after taking revenge

Mass Effect

People Like Us Don't Get Eternity - (Multi-chapter | complete) After the war and the reapers, Shepard, back from the dead for a second time, struggles to find her place in a galaxy that has mourned her as a martyr.

What We Do in the Shadows

Back to Normal - (Multi-chapter | ongoing) Guillermo's dreams finally came true! After paying Derek to turn him, Guillermo has become a full vampire. But, things at the house seem almost dead-set on staying the same, even with a new vampire in the mix.

as a woman in the ozempics era you HAVE to have friends who eat normally (3-4 meals a day, no girl dinner bullshit) and who are always down to going to cafes and eating burguers and fries and stuff, I cannot stress how vital for your mental health it is to have friends with whom you feel free to say you're hungry at any time and with whom you feel free to eat as much as you want

Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.

Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.

holy fuc

I didn’t even know it had a name

[paper-mario-wiki]

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

sexualizing that old man? Oh no I’m asexualizing that old man. Yeah he’s coming to the realization that his sexual activity was performative and compulsory, and he’s much happier now. I’m taking him to pride and he’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit.

[demonprincex]

statements like "It's wrong to masturbate about a person without their consent" and "It's wrong to do something that quietly arouses you while you are in public even if no one can see it" show that a person's understanding of morality basically involves magical thinking. like I wrote this post on the toilet. That's not the same thing as me literally shitting on you

[asksloyxp]

Maybe if I just work harder, this empty cup will pour again

[shinyrock6498]

Maybe the cup needs a bit of time to rest and refill?

[asksloyxp]

Maybe the cup needs to lock the fuck in???

watching two youtubers that are friends will have you yearning for death

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.

the change from AD to CE feels really emblematic of how surface-level and meaningless the supposed secularization of the western world is

[jewfrogs]

Common Era is definitely preferable over Anno Domini, if only because christ is no lord of mine, but it’s only less christianocentric in that it doesn’t overtly make reference to christ in its title. the benchmark is still the same. you’re still measuring when the common era began using the (supposed) birth of christ, separating history into “the period before jesus” and “the period after jesus”. this conception of history is no less defined by christianity than it was before, except that now it’s easier to ignore because you’ve draped it in a “secular”, “modern” veneer and done nothing to actually unpack the ways in which western society intrinsically centers christianity.
