Figured I'd make a proper intro post at long last! :)
Hi everyone! I'm Spellbound_Storyteller, but you can call me Story (or Storyspell, if you'd prefer). I write (both fanfiction and original writing, though I won't be sharing my orignal writing or characters on here, most likely) and draw, and regularly go insane about characters. I will randomly become obsessed with new things - this is your one warning :D I am also rather unhinged, both about media and in terms of things I will say, so be aware of that, I suppose!

More info under the cut, because this post is fairly long, haha! Credit for the below images goes to @/tazmaboxed.
I'm biromantic asexual (definitely repulsed/averse, almost certainly arospec) and genderqueer. My pronouns are currently she/they/any (they/them preferred over she/her, so technically they/she/any I suppose, but I like how she/they/any sounds better)! I'm pretty chill with whatever you call me. I am also diagnosed with autism and ADHD, so I may reblog posts pertaining to that on occasion.
Current Obsessions:
Vampires SMP
Aurora
The Magnus Archives (currently on the back burner, but still kicking)
Other media I like (in no particular order):
The Unwanteds
Wings of Fire
Whitepine
Skyblock Kingdoms
The Flight SMP
Project Hail Mary
EPIC: The Musical
the Riordanverse
Hatchetfield
Good Omens (the book - I haven't finished the show yet)
the Simon Snow series (particularly Carry On)
Ace Attorney
The Owl House
Sleepless Domain
Life of Melody
The Life Series
Tangled: The Series
I am an adult, but my blog is safe for work and/or school! Anyone younger than 13-14 may want to tread carefully, however, as I will occasionally reblog posts with swearing, (usually mild) innuendos, drawn blood, or mentions of mature topics. I do use trigger tags when appropriate, though, so blocking those should take care of the posts that might be problematic.
I tend to spam-like a lot, so mutuals beware. I love being tagged, though I might not always respond (sorry!), and my askbox is always open! Mutuals can also DM me for any reason. I also love to talk about characters, media, and my fics, so please feel free to yell at me about any of those!
Bigots of any kind will be blocked, as will people who just act rude for no good reason. I will also block you if you seem like a bot, so be warned!
i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it
I will never ever ever get over audience members gasping when Orpheus turns around. the intrinsic human trait to know how a story ends, and still be shocked and heartbroken when it ends that way. and then we sing it again. goooooooood.
I love that thing when people get a little bit tongue-tied and garble what they’re trying to say so they make a little “blegh” 👅 noise and start over. verbal reset button. hitting the top of the tv to unscramble the signal
The thing about Hadestown is the line “To know how it ends. And still begin to sing it again. As if it might turn out this time” is an incredible way to describe most of life. We try because we have to believe that even when the ending is set in stone, it’s still worth trying. It’s still better to be a person who tried.
to be clear you are fifteen thousand generations removed from the invention of stone tools. not from the end of stone tools. modern humans are still using stone tools.
Kinda insane just how much the accommodations and consideration for Patrick Page's disability improved the show and gave Hades a whole new layer of depth. Every show should be so good to their disabled actors
Every time I have seen Hadestown - on stage or in the movie theater - people gasp when Orpheus turns around. I just love how it's so old and yet everyone is still always hoping that this time
if white people get to obsess over white man #43 that appeared for 3 seconds over actual black protagonists, im doing the same with black characters. carl is the best character in phm, only tied with rocky. argue with the wall
Hadestown really did just set the standard for all proshots going forward. "The cinematography of this stage production was extraordinary" is a wild sentence but completely true. This is the rubric all future proshots should be held to.
