About me

Fandom old with a love of various fandoms, a weakness for the most unlikely pairings in any given canon (rowing these ships myself, if I have to!) and Rumbelle as my OTP.

You can find my published works (mostly Rumbelle) on AO3 @Amrei or on tumblr under #my writing and hear about my steadily increasing number of unpublished WIPs in various fandoms (lately mostly Hidden Legacy) by asking me about them.

I’m always happy to chat with mutuals or just new people who want to talk.

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

it’s so special to me that so much of fan culture is textual analysis for the love of the game. like thank god there are people in my phone who are also thinking about this thing i love so much that they are writing transformative fiction as character studies and setting clips of the show to music with theme-relevant lyrics and writing long text posts analyzing every line of dialogue like!! yay!!!

I'm gonna say something incredibly 30-year-old and I'm going to ask you to not judge me while I'm trying to be genuine and real. Okay? Here's my truth.

A piece of lettuce can really elevate a sandwich. The fresh crunch? Unrivaled. Peak. Poetic cinema.

“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.

honestly i love drunk cooking. not because it's safe or ends well but it's like. such an experience to realize the full potential of your kitchen. ingredients you didn't even know you had are singing out in beautiful synergy. you're putting hot sauces on things that have never been hot before. fruit didn't know it could do that. where did this sayce packet come from? i dunno but u know where it's going. tummy.

baby we're turnin on the broiler and i've never been so alive

favorite thing about tumblr is having a fandom in law. no i haven't watched this show and i'm not planning to. but my moot is having fun!! look how much they love it!!! i'm supportive from the sidelines!

[lyraisnotonfire]

it's like, i don't go here! but my friend does! so i know a bit about what's going on there even if i'm in a different school

I suddenly have feelings and opinions about a ship on a show I've never watched (I'm only 90% sure I have the names correct).

you’re telling me there are people who listen to music and DON’T use it as the soundtrack for the intense cinematic daydream plot they’ve always got playing in the back of their head???

Have you considered that this is how your presence feels?

Sometimes a beloved mutual transitions and starts frequenting places you wouldn't go yourself, yk?

when your beloved mutual suddenly joins a fandom you have no interest in

has anyone considered that it was probably her house too. where else was she supposed to put her chintz?

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth 💕
