Things to Know

I'm a tumblr elder - I've been here since 2010, just not with the same blog.

I'm not going to list all my identities in my bio.

I tag posts meticulously, so if you don't like something, it should be easy to block.

My ask box is always open.

I'm posting from a queue most of the time.

I'm from the northeastern US.

The vast majority of my posts are SFW.

I write fanfiction - mostly whump, hurt/comfort, and angst. You can find me on AO3 or fanfiction.net.

I don't believe in DNIs but I do believe in blocking for relatively innocuous reasons. I'm just cultivating my online experience; don't take it personally.

This is a Rings of Power positive blog and I block people who put hate in the tags or in my activity feed. Like I said, it's nothing personal - I'm just cultivating my online experience.

Fandoms

This is not an exhaustive list, just what pops up most often.

Tolkien (Silmarillion | The Hobbit | Lord of the Rings | Rings of Power) | Critical Role (Vox Machina | Mighty Nein | Bells Hells) | Lost | Legend of Zelda | BBC Musketeers | Merlin | Doctor Who | Dishonored | Homestuck | The Magnus Archives | Pride & Prejudice (2005) | Dungeons & Dragons | Baldur's Gate 3

Chat, is it considered “abusive roommate behavior” to release a raccoon into the living space after you have asked your roommate for months to please clean up their messes (they do not pay any of the mortgage)

[raccoonmilf]

For context, when I used to live alone I would do something called “Princess Time” where I would do an initial sweep (to remove any significant hazards) and then I would release a raccoon into the living area and clean. This helped because I would 1) feel like a princess and 2) the raccoon would bring attention to things my ADHD brain had decided to ignore and I’d quickly clean that stuff up.

So like, if I’m expected to clean the house now, I will be doing it in the way that is most effective for me. And anything that has not been cleaned up after months of having sit-down talks and sending reminders and being promised things will change, might be deemed “trash” by the trash panda and thrown away.

[raccoonmilf]

We haven’t done since we moved into the house, because I didn’t want to cause my roommate or their cats destress or have their things destroyed by a raccoon

[raccoonmilf]

I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.

I wanna make things very clear that underneath all the whimsy, I am a trained professional.

[raccoonmilf]

Those vibes are likely because I’m the original creator of Dashcon and my personality has not changed since 2012 lmao

I’m remembering that one post from a bit ago about how the appeal of art/fic depicting Maedhros weeping over Fingon’s body is very real but there was no body. And I raise you: all the art/fic where beren cradles a dying finrod seems to forget that beren was still in chains. He was not stroking Finrod’s hair because he Could Not Move His Arms. Finrod probably died like a foot away from him and it probably haunted him all his life

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

The Styx exploded with movement. Two hands, a hood, a flash of silver hair—and then out of the water crawled Thanatos, his movements frantic and uncoordinated, his cape dragging him down. His hand slipped as he scrambled up the steps and he crashed onto his elbow with a loud grunt. Immediately he picked himself up and dragged his body the rest of the way out, and he stopped there, just at the edge of the churning water, on his hands and knees.  He was shaking. 

Oops this fanfic idea dominated my brain until I wrote it. Enjoy.

i hate it when people mistake "etymology" with "entomology." like, i know where they coming from but it still bugs me

[teashoesandhair]

I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs

Mayhem. What is that. Is there some tiny, four inch tall prince running shirtless through my house? Where did this come from??

#a terrible fate has befallen the Mouse Prince

[kholran]

It’s finally happened.

After almost a decade on this site, I found another Tumblr user in the wild. I stopped to tie my shoe with rainbow laces this morning outside the silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg, and I heard it.

“I like your shoelaces.”

Oh. Oh no.

I responded the only way I could. “Thanks.” And then I reluctantly added, “I stole them from the president…and if that makes sense to you, I’m very sorry.”

The poor man, in full Colonial dress, stared at me for a long moment. And then burst into laughter. And said, “I haven’t thought about that in YEARS and this has never happened to me before.”

Yeah. Me neither. Not until today.

Tumblr rite of passage. Achievement unlocked.
