Writing, and an inappropriate obsession with Yuri on Ice. I mostly exist here: kiaronna on AO3. Image credit goes to paranoidpopsicles!

Ok the US Attorney General says that she will remove ICE if MN drops all our sanctuary laws, complies with ICE, hands over all our SNAP, Medicaid and voter rolls. They demand control over our voter registration so they can "ensure free and fair elections".

They want to control our elections.

I am dead serious people call your representatives. Get volunteering. Get protesting. Get LOUD.

They released a letter full of straight up lies. Spread the truth. MAKE NOISE.

How interesting. How very interesting. They rejected my Blaze of this post.

Well, y'all. Make of this what you will, eh?

[a-krogan-skald-and-bearsark]

Then I guess we'll just have to Blaze it the old fashioned way, eh?

Boosting signal. AGAIN.

One weird trick! A facial treatment mask incredibly powerful at preventing aging: social Masking (TM)! Never make a single facial expression unless required and the wrinkles disappear. Doctors hate her! Coworkers hate her! Neurotypicals hate her! Try social Masking today. Do not call we won't pick up the phone

it’s remarkable how much money you can save by not leaving the house and not eating and not moving

looking at my bank account after a month of being in a depressive coma like wow. I’m so good at budgeting

[bombshellblitz]

The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorise, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, i.e., the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being.

Severance is about rebellion, about people who were literally created to obey finally questioning and breaking through that conditioning. There’s a storyline about someone doing a complete 180 and choosing to rebel when they realise they have a child that they’re not allowed to see, and I love that the storyline wasn’t given to the female lead, but to a previously comic male character. There’s a storyline about breaking protocol because for the first time ever you have fallen in love, in intense, overwhelming, impossible love, and I love that the storyline wasn’t given to the female lead, but to a pair of awkward old guys. The storyline about grief and guilt also goes to a guy, to the male lead.

I love that the female lead is the only one whose radicalisation comes entirely from within, the person motivating her is her, she’s not doing it for anyone else, she wants her freedom, and failing that, she wants bloody revenge even at the cost of utter self-destruction.

when loid "for the mission" forger finally cleans up his act and realizes he's in love with yor, he will face karmic retribution in the form of yor "for the act" forger

he'll be like "yor would you like to have dinner with me (I am deeply in love with you)" and she'll be like "oh yes!! I would love to take this opportunity to learn how to look more like a normal married person!!" and he'll be like "wait,"

"yor would you like to dance with me (so I can stare deeply into your eyes and hold you close)"

"of course! every married couple must know how to dance together. I must learn for the act"

"yor I am in love with you"

"wow you say it so naturally! you're such a skilled actor, I will work hard to be on your level!"

I just think loid "I've been with countless women for my missions" forger deserves to fumble and be hopelessly in love and struggle while yor stubbornly convinces herself that he's just really good at acting and she only feels all fluttery inside because she's not at his level.

Happy asexuality awareness day!

[kiaronna]

did that fic where yuuko and yuuri fake date ever get an epilogue?

Oh man!! It didn't. The fic is concluded, but no epilogue. I haven't written anything for YOI in a while and am not really active in the fandom currently, though of course it holds a special place in my heart. And I lurk. I lurk quite a bit. I'm so happy that even now, years later, someone is thinking of PoL. ❤ you guys are the best.

Sadly, I doubt I'll be warming up my YOI writing chops and doing a whole epilogue anytime soon. Even if I did write one it may also be jarring since I've been writing some stylistically different work, haha.

If someone has specific questions I could probably write up casual replies in an ask!

Hi all!! 

A bit of a belated Thanksgiving post from me, but I realized that Just Hold On (We’re Going Home) passed the 10k kudos mark at some point recently. AHHHHHH wow thank you friends!

While I’m not super active in the YOI community now (or really active on AO3 or Tumblr) I do lurk and I do appreciate every single kudos and comment. Some of my fics for other fandoms are also passing kudos milestones and in general I’ve been blessed. Just. Thanks y’all. I do still write and I’m sure I’ll be posting future fics at some point but my life’s been an (exciting) whirlwind so I don’t have anything major in the works. I am alive though! Surprise!

Thank you for many happy years and all your support.

happy 5th anniversary!! ⛸️💙❄️🥂

It's here!

The first episode of Keep It Steady is finally here!

Show summary:

Seventeen-year-old Zach is not a moral crusader. He's a snarky, well-liked stoner who attends detention about as often as Algebra. Unfortunately, he's also a closeted bisexual in 2005, in a town where even the potheads are conservatives. When Gabe, the head of the school's Social Justice Club, suggests they pretend to date in order to take the heat off two female students who are actually in love, Zach knows it's the worst idea he's ever heard. Then he does it anyway.

STOLEN WORK: Please be aware that the user dipityaugust on AO3 has stolen my work, Hello, Heartbreaker and is refusing to take it down.

It’s incredibly unfortunate that my return to Tumblr has to be precipitated by the fact that the user, dipityaugust, on AO3 has 100% STOLEN my fic, Hello, Heartbreaker, which I wrote for the Teen Wolf fandom way back in 2013. They have plagiarised it and posted it as their own in the BTS fandom, claiming it as their own work.

This is absolutely reprehensible. Fanwork creators do our work for free, and to have it abused like this is incredibly demoralising, frustrating, and upsetting.

I hate to do this, but if you can, please share this post so it gets around and more people are aware that this user has done something so abhorrent.

Thank you!
