Stevie | zie/hirs | 25+ | trash for doctor who, wizard101, disco elysium, other stuff. | used to be around under waywardoakdown or thewaywardsonofgallifrey | writeblr is bardicbeetle | #2 Duncan Grimwater guy DM me if you want a pdf of the Lost Boys novel header by cozycosey
hi, i'm stevie (though i'll answer to many other things if you knew me elsewhere on the internet or Here But A Different Blog), my pronouns are zie/hirs or they/them, i'm closer to 30 than 20, timezone is EST, and almost all i do all the time is think and write about The Character (and there are, so many of them to think about).
other internet presences include: writeblr, bluesky, and ao3
this blog is almost entirely chaos, sometimes i tag things, typically when i remember it's a post about doctor who (time travel is in fact not bonsai) or wizard101 (stevie is still stuck in the spiral) or the lost boys (piles of vampire bs) or disco elysium (one day i will return to your side), everything else kinda just gets thrown into the bucket. i started it because i missed having a dedicated fandom blog, and i was perhaps clogging up my writeblr with it.
my askbox is basically always open, as are my dms, be warned i am like the MOST introvert of all time but if we share an interest or a character thought i will genuinely not shut the fuck up <3
beyond that, my fanfiction also gets posted here, so as to keep my original work separated on my writeblr (though i love both pretty much equally <3) and you can see some brief overviews of those projects undercut.
(series, wip) Forever Onward, Scion - Wizard101 - my ongoing monster of a Wiz series following the Scion of Bartleby from the Wraith of Sylvia Drake through until the end (currently at the beginning of Empyrea as of 11/2024), canon divergent in many places but not too drastically until the end of arc 3-arc 4, focusing on the trauma of losing yourself to becoming a hero whether you wanted to or not, on the things you lose by existing for the will of other people, and the fact that when you are molded to be a weapon--learning to lean on others is a hard skill to hone. Eventually it will have a spinoff/companion series following the Rebuilding of the Dragonspyre Academy of Magic, which will serve as a postgame/epilogue.
(complete) we are the same (you and i) - Wizard101 - wizbat! this is smut, it's also character study, and angst, I do not know how to do anything else <3. Set immediately post!Empyrea, canon compliant but technically AU to Forever Onward, Scion. After the fight in the cave on Mandalla to "Restore his essence" the Wizard is not about to let Bat abandon them and run back to Empyrea, they have unfinished business, and unresolved tension.
(wip) In lieu of Thinking - Wizard101 - ongoing compilation of Eurydice Nightshade/Duncan Grimwater works, technically canon compliant with most of Forever Onward, Scion, though divergent from roughly Karamelle forward. I thought too hard about the parallels of the Wizard and Duncan and their respective traumas and now here we are.
(complete) Run Run Brother - Wizard101 - Years after the events of the game, Darana Opalkeeper and their friend Brecken Bittersweet run into a bit of trouble on the grounds of the Dragonspyre Academy. In the aftermath of the attack, Darana struggles with their misuse of Shadow magic, and their feelings of being cursed to bring harm to everyone around them. Canon to Scion, At Rest--part of the sequel series to Forever Onward.
(complete) i break this bottle, think of you fondly - Wizard101 - smut fic, chapter one surrounding Duncan/Shadow Trickster, chapter two Wizard/Shadow Trickster, chapter 3 Wizard/Duncan. The Shadow Trickster follows Duncan back to his apartment in the Arcanum, and takes on a form it thinks he might find…appealing. Technically mostly canon compliant with Forever Onward, Scion, though DEFINITELY considered an alternate universe situation.
(wip) Time Marches On - Kingdom Hearts - A Kairi-centric fic set post!KH3, focusing on her training under Aqua and the discovery of Vanitas in a flood-unversed form, similar to Sora's shadow heartless at the end of KH1. Follows Kairi's ongoing work towards becoming a keyblade master, and her reasons (as little as she understands them) for continuing to pursue that despite constantly being pushed to the sidelines for her own "safety". Mainly genfic but possible eventual VaniKai because I Do In Fact Have Brain Worms About Them. Implied SoRiku.
(wip) Through Another Lens - The Lost Boys - Michael Feeds AU, not original, very much a dime a dozen, but it's a momentary change that i LOVE because the whole story hinges on whether or not he can manage to stave off the bloodlust during the beach party and he can't. POV swaps between Michael and Sam, following the lost boys desire to get out from under Max's thumb, Michael's desire to not lose his family, and Sam's desire to save his brother. Again, primarily genfic, though possibly David/Michael or David/Michael/Star. Established TLB as a poly mess because in my heart that is what they are.
(complete) A Jagged Reflection - Doctor Who - a return to my Doctor/Master roots with a lovely post!Fobwatched Master deciding to lay into the Doctor for dragging him around as a companion instead of releasing him from the Chameleon Arch the second they found him. And for the Doctor's ever present habit of dropping anyone who does not fit their own view of Good. Of Right. Of self sacrificial nobility.
(complete) If Knowing Made it Better - Doctor Who - more Doctor/Master, this is specifically based on a RP I had running with my friend Kate many many years ago. John Smith/Tentoo getting ripped out of his universe due to an issue with the Metacrisis split, seeing that Koschei has been traveling with the Doctor, and losing it on him--because the last time John saw him, it was when he was dying in the Doctor's arms.
You know those jumbles of letters? Those are called "words". They represent "meaning". Now the tricky thing about words is you need to read all of them to understand what a person is saying - sometimes entire sentences or, God forbid, paragraphs!
But I believe in you! I believe if you try hard enough and take it slow, you can manage to read all the words in a post *before* replying to it!
if i bring a book someplace it doesn't necessarily mean i want to read it mayb i just want to take her on a walk. Get her some fresh air and a change of scenery
if you’re gonna be miserable and sad at least do it while you’re looking at some beautiful trees and the sun is warming your back etc etc #enjoyyoursummer
Remember when Lil Nas X beautifully explored his sexuality, seduced and killed the devil to the banger of all time, and instead of cheering on this openly gay and proud Black artist for his artistry and fighting back against respectability politics, suddenly said respectability politics was all the Queerest Place on the Internet cared about? Hm. Wonder what happened there.
Anyway I miss him and hope he's doing better with his mental health 🙏🏾
Like say what you want about "bad queer representation", but this was the song that made me openly and happily accept that I was bisexual. To see him up there Black and beautiful, making music that I love, absolutely killing it? Yeah. You couldn't tell me shit. This man made me proud to be out. "This will make them think we're evil for being gay" hey newsflash dawg-
