The Russian Roulette of Fandom

I do fanfic and gadgets and pretty things. Some of these things may or may not include cats. any pronouns or address as long as you're not rude, normally go by she/her on default, aro/ace. :)

Starting to write up this post in light of tumblr's new bullshit since I read and write in some dark fandoms (Danny Phantom and Red Hood, respectively).

I will tag in relevant posts from now on:

'tw: body horror'

'suicide prevention'

'tw: suicide'

'tw: death'

'tw: flashing'

'tw: gunshot wound' or 'tw: gsw'

'tw: injury'

The kids are not okay (for general warnings for mental illness, anxiety, PTSD, or trauma)

'tw: PTSD' (for specific issues)

'swearing'

Someone please hit whoever decided that "back", "girl", "misc", "queue" and "hard" were banned words. I will not use leet speak because I know that screws with screenreaders big time. The apostrophes might be bad enough.

In the unlikely event I'm reblogging something racy, I'll tag it 'NSFW' or probably 'sexual humor'.

Hopefully I don't get shadow banned from trying to make my blog safe and accessible for people with iphones. *insert gigantic eye roll*

Hi, everyone from Twitter. I don't care if you follow and lurk. I do, however, need one (1) post on your blog saying that you are human and you lurk, ESPECIALLY if you have chosen to put your full name plus two or three numbers as your username. That format is what the porn bots have been doing lately, so as soon as I see that format i tend to block on sight. Love you guys, have fun and be safe. 💜

Is there Anything Better in cat wrangling than meeting The Cat Who Will Not Be Pet, putting in copious work for several hours to Achieve Pets, meeting the cat again several MONTHS later for only the second time, and immediately being allowed to pet again?

No.

No, there is not.

today my work wife figuratively murdered a coworker who was bragging about his fat ass and she asked him if they needed to put out a missing poster. On account of his ass being flat.

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.

How do you know you're not Asexual? Maybe you just haven't met the right nobody.

I keep hearing John Green say he's retired from working and lemme just say John Green is the least retired retired person I've ever seen.

[sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog]

I am retired!!! I retired in October of 2017 and have kept my promise not to exchange my labor for money.

Since 2017, I have only done stuff that I thought was interesting or useful regardless of whether it pays, because we have more than enough money, and despite what billionaires might tell you, there is literally no difference between "more than enough" and "much more than enough."

So I no longer work for money. But in retirement one must keep busy, which is why I have taken on an unpaid gig as the social media intern for a coffee and tea business that donates 100% of its profit to charity.

I also sometimes travel to universities and other places to speak in support of Partners in Health and global access to tuberculosis care, and sometimes I write books because writing makes me happy, and every Tuesday I make a video on vlogbrothers, and I make a podcast about the world cup with my friends from high school, and so on, but none of these things constitutes work. These are just Retirement Projects, which are essential to a happy retirement.

im in the bathroom listening to the following conversation between my roommate and my cat in the hallway outside trying to stifle my laughter.

roommate: is there a problem?

cat: RAH!

roommate: oh no, is the door shut? did charlie lock you out of the bathroom?

cat: mweh...

roommate: well you see, i could fix that problem for you—

cat: MYEH!

roommate: —but due to social rules that you probably couldn't understand even if i explained them,

cat: gWAAH... mow..

roommate: yeah, dude, i hear you, but it's not gonna happen.

cat: MRRRR..!

roommate: i know i have opposable thumbs, but my hands are tied, thumbs and all. i'm sorry, i wish it didn't have to be this way.

[sound of roommate's door closing, followed by desperate scrabbling claws on the bathroom door]

Im scheduling this July 11th, 2025, for June 1st, 2026. Happy Pride. Hello hurricane season. Remember that the slashing of funds for the NOAA and governmental weather services happened because of this bill, and has already caused 170+ deaths in Texas from weather stations being inable to accurately predict weather and flooding situations, and Im sure many hundreds more in the hurricane season that hasnt yet happened to me.

I like the idea of a Vulcan character who constantly does very reckless things so her human crewmates think she's strange but then she always has a logical explanation she delivers with absolute confidence.

"No, it was perfectly logical for me to jump out of the shuttle at that time. I had a breathing apparatus, and I was certain I could seal the subspace rift by hand before the Romulans opened fire. This was the only solution that would result in zero casualties. I might have died, but giving up is illogical."

She's known as one of the most fearless members of the crew.

Other Vulcans try not to acknowledge her.

[demilypyro]

"I eliminated all the threats with ruthless efficiency. To do any less would be illogical."

[demilypyro]

An absolute menace.

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
