I'm Paper Boat (she/her, early 30s) and you can call me Paper, or Boat, or however you want š This blog is the recipient of all my current ships and hyperfixations!
I mostly post about Baldur's Gate 3 and my favourite grumpy wizard Rolan (<3), the main companions and other characters. My latest hyperfixation is Stardew Valley (and Elliott specifically!) so this is new here :)
I got really into the Arcane rabbit hole in the past years and fell in love with Viktor (with a healthy dose of Jayvik). Other than that, I'm always riding first class in the Zutara (A:TLA) express and have been obsessed with Jaime x Brienne from Game of Thrones for the past 10 years. My other otp of all time is Rose x the Doctor (Doctor Who) but thinking about them makes me too emotional so.... yeah. I might just never get over it.
I've been writing a little and you can find me as paper_boat on AO3. My fics are listed below!
Feel free to interact or tag me in games, I really don't mind and I'm always happy to participate! š¤ I am very slow to answer and to react but you are seen!!
Last but not least, kindly note that I have nothing but rage and hatred for the abomination that is "ai art" and I do not want to engage with any kind of AI-generated content, writing, or "art", nor with people who defend and/or use it. I block on sight. Thanks <3

A non-writer asked me "but where do you get your ideas" and i genuinely did not know how to explain that it's not a place. it's not a website. it's not a folder. it's that i was on the bus and a woman was holding a paper bag very carefully and something about the way she held it made me need to know what was inside and then i needed to know why she was sad about it and then there was a whole person and then there was a whole story and the bus had already stopped and i missed my stop. that's where.
new fanfic writer who has marked their work completed ao3 only to leave a note at the end saying: thanks for all the support guys if you want to read the rest of the fic subscribe to my patreon :)
me, an elder fandom veteran, suddenly having anne rice flashbacks:
no.
NO.
starting to rock back and fourth.
you do not understand.
you were born into an age of peace. i was there Gandalf. i was there three thousand years ago. i remember the cease and desists. i remember authors hunting fanfic writers for sport. i remember when every fic opened with a disclaimer because we genuinely thought it might protect us.
we do not charge money for the copyrighted gay wizard stories.
Remember people, this is against AO3s terms of service. If you see a fic that does this REPORT THAT THING!!! These people may not know better or they might, but them doing this has the potential to ruin things for everyone.
i'm currently slipping into a surprise greek mythology fixation so can anyone recommend any books??? specifically NOT retellings/reimaginings, like non fiction books about greek mythology/deities/etc etc
Something to keep in mindā¦. building muscle is so hard people compete to see who can do it best. If youāre a woman worried about āgetting bulkyā, i promise you that you cannot achieve that physique by accident. Now go lift weights to increase your bone density & protect yourself from osteoporosis and improve your insulin resistence and eat a fiber + protein dense meal with some carbs to refuel and fat for satiety + energy š«µ
trans women this goes double for you especially the part about eating š«µ you are not immune to your bones becoming tapioca in your old age pick up the weights and the fork sister weāre all gonna build our new bodies if i have anything to say about it
I know that obviously NATLA is baiting people with the Zutara scenes and crumbs, but itās crazy to think Painted Spirit made it into the canon like imagine having a fanon idea so strong it makes it into the adaptation after like 19 years.
