godless heathen who is entirely too familiar with scripture

she/her, 30s, pan, writes stuff, multishipper, villainfucker, rarepair connoisseur; rambles in tags, blog in a state of organized chaos. Kind advice: in fandom, never say never.

[narastories]

New pinned post because why not. If you've just stumbled into this corner of our favorite hellsite (affectionate), then welcome. Please mind your step so that you don't trip over my favorite tiny rarepairs and my unrepentant kinks.

If you want something to read, my AO3 is here.

Fandoms:

The Dresden Files. Most posts are filed under #nara’s dresden phase. There is also #denarian brainrot Look if you dare or filter out to save your soul. Fair warning: there is a lot of overlap when it comes to my blog.

I'm also running a server for the Fetch Phillips Archives so feel free to come and join the Sunder City Book Club.

Occasionally, I'm inspired to write fanfics for video games too and you can follow my chaotic adventures under #nara's gaming adventures

I'm also tentatively and slowly working on an original novel 60% out of joy (and because it's always been a goal of mine) and 40% out of spite (because I'm dying to see more of my favorite dynamic on paper that I usually just find in fanfic or delegated to the sidelines in published books. That dynamic being a mouthy brat with magic powers and severe psychological issues and an old man with a broken moral compass and several screws loose which fact he hides behind a veil of money and power). Anyways, my ramblings related to that are filed under #nara's writing diary where occasionally I might even share useful stuff. Shocking, I know.

I also have a gif sideblog that I sometimes post to (it's uh... all Tony Leung at the moment)

Theme on PC is from here and I often pin stuff on the buttons that come with it.

Feel free to come and say hi, but please keep in mind that I'm very anti-censorship and won't tolerate fandom police behavior. Also, try to help me not confuse you with a bot if you reach out ;)

Enjoy sifting through my collection of shiny things if you so desire. xx

grace quietly typing “brave” into rocky’s computer while not being able to say it about himself because rocky deserves access to the language he needs to express his feelings is everything to me. he knows he wasn’t brave enough to choose this, but he’s learning how to be, and rocky sees it in him without even trying.

i love how everyone's opinion of ryland grace's sexuality is

I love fandoms.

I recently watched Teen Wolf. Before I'd see fanart, edits, screen shots, the fandom talking about it. I thought it was about a kid named Stiles and his mean werewolf friend named Derek that people like to ship together.

I watch the show. There is this character named Scott who is actually the main character. I didn't know Scott existed. Characters like Erica and Boyd are barely in it and get killed off after a season.

In all fairness, Scott and his first love interest were pretty boring compared to the others. And glad I watched the show because it has some great fanfics. (Scotts barely in them XD)

--

LOL.

I loved Scott's shonen jump hero nonsense. Derek was a waste of space, only interesting while tied to the wall and being tortured. Everyone had tons of shippy energy with everyone, but all of the sterek scenes I was promised by gifsets were a damp squib when I actually got to them. Scott and Isaac? Derek and Jackson? Now there was some interesting tension.

I watched a couple of seasons and enjoyed it for what it was. Glad I didn't stick with the show though.

I love the idea of Rocky extending Grace’s lifespan to Eridian levels without telling him

[bwabbitv3s]

Grace okay with finding way for you to live long healthy life on Erid?

Sure buddy, but even with everything humans know we sometimes don’t live as long as we wish.

Grace thinking boy it would be great if I make it past 60 considering all that has happened and the stress of another planet.

Rocky speedily scuttling back to science thrum. Grace say okay to extend their life!

[assiraphales]

rocky always yells “enrichment for grace! enrichment for grace!” when he has a new invention to make the humans time more interesting on erid. grace, while appreciative, replies ‘I know I’m in a zoo enclosure but could we maybe not call it that? I feel like a bear getting thrown a pumpkin covered in peanut butter.’ rocky simply gives him a thumb, not wanting to explain that a significant amount of the population sees grace as the celebrity savior scientist who rocky keeps as a controversially young trophy wife and publicly lavishes in gifts

[virgil-is-a-cutie]

Love this bc Grace's age by their standards is very very young despite Grace being mature by his species standards

I keep imagining so many Eridians secretly calling Rocky a pebble snatcher lmao

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

[azaablue]

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

[narastories]

You can tell he's been wanting to write this book so bad lol Look at that momentum!
