I've been writing fanfiction since the '90s. While I do post in-progress snippets of fanfiction I am writing here (you can check the "my writing" tag for that) the main place to read my written work is on AO3.
In case of shenanigans here is the address: https://archiveofourown.org/users/SofiaDragon/works
I use my bookmarks as a collection of stories I have read and enjoyed enough not to lose. I also use the Recommended Stories feature, so if you want to see a list of fantastic stories, you can utilize the filter or just click here.
I reblog a lot of things that catch my attention, but mostly fandom stuff and current events. There are a lot of different fandoms I am interested in, and sometimes I'll go back to the stories that first got me interested in writing. From ACD's Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek to the latest MCU movie and Spy X Family or even Eminence in Shadow - I like a wide range of story types so long as the characters are well crafted. Give me someone who seems so real they can walk right off the page or a setting I can sink into, and I'm happy. If you like that sort of thing, pull up a chair and stay a while.
I do not blog about charity for spiritual reasons. That I do not reblog posts or answer asks about charity means nothing about what I do or do not support offline.
More personal stuff about who I am under the cut!
Autistic spectrum cis female demi-aromantic. US American, social-democrat, has been overseas but not as much as I'd like. Can vaguely understand tourist Japanese and Spanish with context to help, but only fluent in English.
I put a lot of worldbuilding in my writing with a dash of humor and dramatic irony. In IRL conversation I'm sarcastic and enjoy ethical and political debates - and I have the privilege of coming from a family where we don't take those disagreements personally and will happily "devil's advocate" a position just to prolong the discussion if the conversation is productive in finding the flaws in the political ideas we support. Especially on the internet, hot intellectual debate of serious issues without catching feelings is a rare commodity.
I studied world religion, psychology, and creative writing as an Early Childhood Education major for my first round in college. Then I had to go make money due to a family calamity, so I swapped to Small Business Management and learned about economics, politics, teaching adults, and bookkeeping. Eventually, I took a job at a small chocolate shop and learned how to make gourmet chocolates, because the high stress and long hours of my management job was actually killing me due to chronic medical issues.
I believe that most of the fan criticisms of series and movies come from a place of love, since we wouldn't care so much if we weren't invested. You will see posts tagged "critical" or "criticism" related to fandoms that I adore. That thing I said about intellectual debates? It absolutely applies here.
I also tag political posts. If you don't want to see commentary on real life drama when browsing please filter your tumblr - I highly recommend a side blog with "#politics" blocked if you don't like seeing that stuff when you are in fun fandom mode generally. Curate your experience.
I've had some mental health struggles related to my poor physical health (chronic illness sucks) and fertility problems stemming from a hormone imbalance caused by working in an office where my boss used testosterone cream irresponsibly, don't try me on gender dysphoria it isn't a trigger it's waving a flag in front a bull. I will give you the horns. I'm very strong on trans/genderqueer issues partly because I have experienced the distress of my body doing masculine things like growing a full beard against my will and partly because I have a cousin more than 20 years older than me who transitioned when I was a kid and is one of the most actualized and happy people I've ever known.
Nobody should be forced to use their body or perform their life in a certain way for the benefit of other people contrary to their nature or will. This also includes medical privacy and legalizing [while responsibly regulating] most drugs. You will see this theme in some of my stories and it colors all of them in the sense that my idea of what is morally correct includes that kind of freedom.
Every time an author reassures readers that the smut is skippable I sigh a disappointed sigh. This is not a reassurance. Why would anybody who likes smut want to read smut that was only included as an afterthought and has no impact on the narrative? Insulting. Just don't write it at all if you're not going to make it matter.
I like shut the best when the plot is integral to the smut and the shut is integral to the plot. The two hold each other up. What is more intimate and exposing? Why shouldn't there be plot in there?
Omegaverse au where Gen is a part of the harem group on treasure Island and is called to the Masters hut a few days before Ginro does, but it doesn't go the same as what it did for Ginro. When Gen noticed the statue of the master, he immediately sweet talked Ibara by saying "I'm glad that means I get to be with Ibara-sama, I never wanted to be with the master, whenever I saw Ibara-sama I'd, always wish I could be with him. And now I can be!"
Ibara is all too happy to hear that, and takes full advantage of the situation. And Gen being too afraid to say no, lets Ibara do whatever he wants.
Of course no one knows about this, except Ginro, who almost went through the same thing. Ginro finds Gen alone and brings it up, Gen tells him not to worry nothing happened and to please not bring it up again.
Everything is fine until they get to South America, Gen has random bouts of nausea and when anyone asks about it he just says it's the stress of the situation.
After the second petrifaction and being revived Ginro confronts Gen again because his scent has changed and while no one else would notice it, knowing what he knows (even though Gen said nothing happened) he suspects Gen is with child and implores Gen to tell someone. That it's important that someone other than him knows.
But Gen is afraid of how the others will react.
"I don't know how it works for the village, but back in my time, people always wanted to point the blame at the omega in the situation. 'What were you wearing?' 'What did you do to lead that alpha on?' so it's best if no one knows."
"but you can't keep something like this a secret forever Gen!"
"I'll worry about that when it gets to that."
Gen is the most afraid of what Senku would think, he's always liked the alpha afterall and Senku finding him disgusting would kill him.
Ukyo over hearing their conversation because it's Ukyo of course he hears, and helps Ginro convenience Gen to tell the others, because Ginro is right, he can't keep the secret he's pregnant forever.
"And no one, I mean NO ONE, here will blame you for what Ibara did. He was a monster."
you solve the mystery of what to have for dinner one night and you think "hell yeah case closed forever" WRONG there is a dinner mystery the next night too
Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.
You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.
