:: About Me :: All Links: linktr.ee/settiai Blog: Dreamwidth Fanfiction: AO3 Social Media: Bluesky & Twitter Videos: YouTube Lynn. Settiai. "Hey you!" They all work, so call me whatever you'd like. She/They. 39. Liberal. Geek. Bookworm. Gamer. Fanfiction writer. Vidder. Born-and-raised Tennessean currently living on the Maryland side of the DC suburbs over in the States. Introvert. Pisces. Sexuality and gender identity are complicated. "Queer" works very well for me as a descriptor, and I often use it as a catch-all when I don't want to go into a detailed explanation. If you want specifics, though, I tend to bounce around somewhere between biromantic asexual and aromantic bisexual, depending on the state of my brain at any given time, with a side of autochorissexuality just to make things even more confusing. I'm also nonbinary, although I usually present as feminine simply because it's simpler. (Also, I'm more comfortable in loose dresses due to my weight and autism making tighter clothing uncomfortable, and I usually don't have the spoons to explain why the clothes someone wears doesn't have anything to do with their gender identity.) Organized religion and I have a very tense relationship due to where/how I grew up. I've talked about my upbringing in the middle of the Bible Belt some in this tag, if you're curious, but it's not exactly light reading.

Falling Apart (and Being Remade)

I'm so excited to share my @dragonagereversebang art prompt that inspired Settiai's fic of this name. I've long been feral about the idea of non-mage Hawkes being in the King's Army with Carver at Ostagar and escaping together and was desperate for someone to write me some fic about it. Now someone has 🥰

Thank you so much to the Reverse Bang mods for organizing and to Settiai for making my fic dreams come true 🥰

Siân Breyer

Yesterday I had the pleasure of drawing @settiai ‘s character Siân Breyer! This was a super fun commission which combined some elements I don't usually get to draw which made this drawing even more awesome to dive into 🖤 Such a cool character!!

How many works would you be comfortable receiving from a single person in an exchange? Some of your requests have caused significant brain-rot, but I would never want to make someone uncomfortable in the name of making blorbos smooch.

There’s no such thing as receiving too many gifts in an exchange, at least in my mind!

This trio is everything 😍

I have to admit this took me a hot minute to get over art block to finish it, but I’m really proud with how it turned out!

Sent it off to the printers today and am keen to sell these at upcoming cons later this month!

What better use of the Enlarge spell is there than to HUG ALL YOUR FRIENDS??? I wanted to squeeze in a last minute print for Hal-con and was torn between a beefy pinup of Karlach or a group pic, then I realised I could do both ahaha. The print version won't include my Tav tho, this one's just for me. I love all these goobers so much.

I noticed that you still write h*rry p*tter stuff even though r*wling is a major terf figure actively harm trans people and considers any positive interaction of her stuff as support for it

Why is that

I have a note regarding that on every fic that I have posted in that fandom, even ones from years ago. In addition, I will point out that pretty much the only fics I’ve written for it recently were for fic exchanges where the mods needed a last-minute pinch hitter, and it was the only fandom that I was familiar enough with to write.

I'm nonbinary and queer, and I very much do not support J. K. Rowling or her abhorrent prejudices and beliefs. As someone who's been involved in fandom for two-and-a-half decades, though, I strongly believe in separating the source material from its creation once it is released onto the world. That's because I've been burned many times from the author/director/actor/etc. of something I love turning out to be a horrible person down the line.

I'm very much against spending money on anything related to Harry Potter, such as video games or books or blu rays, since that is directly supporting her, but fanworks are different in my mind. It's ours now, not hers, and we should do our best to transform the fictional world that was originally created into something better. Preferably in a way that makes her bigoted self see red.
