Main blog is n1ghtmeri, but I need a place away from prying eyes. If you know me irl, pretend you didn't see it. she/her I don't tag reblogs, so be wary. Art tag is quescon art.
Hello! I'm Eri, I like stuff and talk a lot. My main is @n1ghtmeri, my ao3 is TopoftheLighthouse, and so is my bsky (though, I'm not very active there.)
This blog is NOT spoiler free and I'm bad at tagging, so like, beware.

Thank you for asking ❤️ — asks, tag games, occasional engagement bait prompts, kinda inconsistent.

Projects:
Okay. Any tag that starts with "project: " means that there is some kind of story I have bubbling in my brain that I hope to make real in some way. It doesn't mean that I will ever actually do it! But I collect facts, inspo and vibes in a tag anyway. Currently mentioned on the blog are:
Here's a bigger project I've been working on for a while. The tiefling refugees are all pretty close to my heart, so I wanted to give them the love they deserve. A few of them are still missing, but I'm already planning another set for the kids!
Unfortunately, I can't add as many tags as there are characters, so feel free to tag your favorite underrated tiefling!
Oooookay, sorry for playing the boomer. I figured I need to leave the tags here. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go bury myself out of sheer shame.
Redraw of two pictures at once. I feel it is never will be enough for me pics of Helena and her Morningstar.
Also, today is Helena birthday. I've started to draw her and other sisters exactly a year ago. Yay. (It is crazy how many birds on shoulders i had to draw since then).
Martha Jones (Doctor Who) vs. Helen of Troy (Greek Mythology)
Martha Jones
Helen of Troy
Remaining time: 6 days 8 hours
Propaganda below the cut:
Martha Jones:
She was the first main Black companion on Doctor Who…I'll just talk about the fandom racism/misogyny itself and not the racism/misogyny in the show itself. She was subject to overt and subtle misogynoir from the fandom, especially since she came after white fan-favorite companion Rose Tyler. People disliked her for having a crush on the Doctor, which Rose also had, and was unfavorably compared to Rose. There's a lot more, but I don't want to write a whole essay.
She's a medical student, and incredibly smart and capable! In her stories, she's incredibly compassionate to those around her, and offers emotional as well as medical assistance. Also, she has incredible style!
Martha gets absolutely shafted by the fandom, most of whom cannot seem to forgive her for not being Rose Tyler. That she dares to leave the Doctor and live her own life is apparently an act more evil than any the Daleks could dream of. A lot of fans insist that Martha's race has nothing to do with why they dislike her. A lot of fans are fucking liars.
Martha is competent and intelligent and screams way less than usual for a companion so she is clearly excellent.
I think fandoms been very racist and misogynistic towards her, relagating her as some spineless woman always pining after the doctor instead of a badass MD who saved the day many times
Not only misogyny but racism too. Martha is an incredibly smart and brave character who doesn’t get half the credit that the Doctor’s other (WHITE) companions get. She gets dogged on by the fandom for a lot of reasons that are overlooked or forgiven when Rose Tyler does a lot of the same things.
She was the only RTD companion who wasn’t given superpowers in order to save the day. Girl saved the world with nothing but gumption and a good pair of walking boots.
I still see hate fics for her in the big year of 2026 please god she's not getting in the way of your ship she walked away from that bum ass alien 15 years ago
So many fans consider Martha a "rebound" companion for 10 and say that she only cares about impressing him or something. Completely ignoring the fact that she was charmed into coming with him! Just like everybody else who travels with the Doctor. She also canonically SAVED THE WORLD by giving the people something to believe in and got to leave on her own accord without something terrible happening to her. She's also shown to be incredibly smart and talented, quickly adapting to situations even if she might be freaked out at first.
And after she leaves she gets to work with UNIT (and im pretty sure she also appears in the Torchwood spin-off series) and eventually she ends up with someone who understands what she's been through.
Martha is SO MUCH MORE than just a rebound companion or a girl obsessed with the Doctor. Sheis (at the time of meeting her) being trained to be a full on doctor who has incredible will power and a clear desire to help others.
Helen of Troy:
many people blame her for so much shit she was Not responsible for. the trojan war was not her fucking fault people!!! also multiple translators have made her call herself a slut or a bitch even though she never refers to herself that way in the ancient greek text :/
give my girl a fucking break!!!! please!!!
COSMIC PUNCHLINE TO EVERY JOKE IN LITERATURE ABOTU HOW WOMEN ARE EVIL. AND WHAT IS LITERATURE IF NOT ILIAD FANDOM. ALL LITERATURE
SHE MAYBE DID ALL THAT BUT I LOIVE HER ANYWAY
I really love Helen as someone who always shows up with a Point Of View. Like she’s reduced to an object a lot (famously as Paris’s reward in the myths or “the face that launched a thousand ships” in pop culture, or even in other stories like the one about her getting kidnapped by Theseus as a kid :/) but she’s always got something
In the Iliad she’s sitting on the walls of Troy, almost a decade into this war, lonely and wondering if her brothers are on the battlefield. She’s getting kidnapped by Aphrodite to go comfort Paris (and telling her she knew it was Aphrodite because the boobs on her disguise were too good!!!) and fucking hating it but not wanting to be attacked by a god. In the Odyssey she’s just fuckin drugging people??
She’s tragic and she’s weird and she’s probably doomed by her own nature as a demigod. And i just think she’s neat :)
The fact that everyone calls her Helen of Troy (the place where she was held captive by a prince that kidnapped her) and not of Sparta (the place where she was queen alongside the man she chose as her husband, having been given more agency than almost any mortal woman of her time by having been given a choice of who she wanted to marry thanks to her divine heritage as a daughter of Zeus) says something on its own tbh
We hope you're all having fun with your Summer Fest assignments! We already have 27 finished gifts and treats in the collection, with more drafts on the way. 🙌 Do you think we'll reach 100 works this year? 🤯
⏰ Assignment deadline: Two weeks to go!
Reminder that assignments are due on Sunday, August 2, at 3:59pm GMT | 5:59pm CEST | 11:59am EDT | 8:59am PDT (deadline countdown).
🌎🦅⭐ Psst! Americans! Please note that this is Sunday morning for you. ⭐🦅🌎
If you haven't submitted your assignment yet, now is a good time to make sure you're on track.
If you already know you won't be able to finish your gift before the deadline, please default as soon as possible so we can arrange a pinch hitter for your recipient.
Defaulting: Important info and step-by-step guide 👇
If you expect that you won't be able to complete your assignment on time, simply use the Default button on AO3.
You don't need to explain why you're defaulting. We know real life sometimes gets in the way of even the best intentions.
To default, go to your AO3 profile, click Assignments in the left-hand sidebar, and click Default under your assignment.
🤔 I don't know if I should default?
Remember, this is meant to be a fun, low-stakes exchange. The minimum requirement is just 500 words or one finished sketch.
If you've planned something bigger than you can realistically finish, consider creating a smaller gift to fulfill your assignment first. You can always post your magnum opus later as a stress-free treat!
However, if you're dealing with a real-life crisis, a medical emergency, or other unforeseen circumstances, please let us know as soon as possible so we can help. ❤
😥 What happens to my recipient if I default?
If you default, we'll post your assignment here on tumblr and ask for a volunteer pinch hitter to create a gift for your recipient instead.
The exchange collection won't be revealed until every qualifying participant has received a gift.
😩 What happens to me if I default?
If you default on your assignment before the deadline and your assigned creator also defaults, we won't delay the collection reveal for you, but we will post you as a pinch hit recipient.
If you no-show at the deadline without defaulting, we'll post your assignment as a pinch hit without further notice. If your assigned creator also defaults, your own assignment will not be posted for pinch hitters.
There are no other penalties for defaulting – but the mod team will be sad 😢 and gift reveals may be delayed for everyone, so please be considerate.
💝 Have fun creating!
Already finished your assignment? Check out the other requests and see whether any inspire you to create a treat. 😎
My most irrelevant pet peeve is when bg3 art or fic implies that His Majesty was adopted by the vampire man. It should've been Isobel (actually took care of him at Last Light), Barcus (was hanging out with him at Last Light) or Minthara (gets inspired when you talk to him)
