Welcome
Hi! I'm SpindleToad, but you can call me Spindle! I'm honestly just here to have a good time! Maybe it's a little presumptuous of me to make this giant beast of a post filled with like... everything ever. Maybe no one will even read this, but that's okay! I don't care about any of that, the purpose of this post is just to make sure that me and everyone else visiting this blog is comfortable and knows my comfort zone!
Vital things are in purple. Sections with purple headings need to be read. Important notes related to the text above will be indented. I recommend reading all indented sections.
My blog is a safe space for everyone, even if you disagree with me or my beliefs, provided you don't harass me or anyone else interacting with this blog! However, I am not here to debate, don't try and start one. If you have a genuine question I might answer, or I might not. Depends on my mood.
My system pronouns are they/he/she/xe in order of my preference. Though it shifts between alters.
I am currently taking commissions, even though as of right now I don't have anything posted. If you would like writing examples, I will be happy to provide them. I can't currently provide any new art examples since I don't have anything recent enough for my tastes but that'll change soon so stay tuned.
I am currently not taking requests, although that may change in the future.
I will not write or draw: scat or watersports, vomit play, fart kinks, inflation, feederism, and a few others that I will add as I think of them.
I have nothing against any of these kinks or topics, I'm just not comfortable with them personally.

Please be aware I do not automatically accept friend requests as a safety precaution, first you need to message me and introduce yourself through your outgoing friend requests. Once we have talked for a while I will accept your friend request.
About Me
I am genderfluid, and my sexuality is fluid throughout the system.
I am over 18, this isn't a NSFW-specific blog so minors can interact, however, some of my fanfics will contain smut, so be aware of that and make sure to read the tags.
I am a polyfragmented DID system, if you're here to fakeclaim just get off my blog. Only alters who are comfortable will interact on this blog or make intros under #alter intros. Littles will not interact with the public, and their names won't be given out to anyone other than friends.
I also have Audhd, tonetags are very much appreciated, and if I ever misinterpret something you say, please let me know!
Never consider any of my fics abandoned unless they are tagged for it, even if it's been years I may still update. If you follow me for a specific fandom, I will one day get back to it.
I have a caffeine sensitivity. Good luck when I drink coffee or energy drinks. I tend to get kind of rambly.
I have a senior cat, I will not name him on this blog but yes you may see him from time to time or if you ask.
Do's and Don'ts of Transformative Works
Work refers to both writing and art. If you do any of these, even if you asked first, please link or send it to me so I can read and like it! You can always gift something to me! I may accept or refuse each fic for a variety of reasons, but please know it doesn't mean I don't like your work or that I think it's bad! You may not profit off of my works or ideas in ANY capacity, even if I have given you permission to create something based on it.
Can you Translate my writing? With my permission and credit.
Can you repost my work? No, I do not give permission for my works to be reposted to any site, including ao3 itself.
Can you make a podfic of my writing? Always with credit.
Can you draw art of my fics? Always with credit.
Can you write fics based on my art? With my permission and credit.
Can you write something inspired by my work? Always on a03 with credit, on any other site please ask first.
Can you draw something inspired by my art? Always with credit
Can you use my ideas in your writing? No, you may use the basic premise of my fic, but any of my lore, OCs, or other misc worldbuilding is off-limits.
Can you use my headcanons in your drawing? Always with credit.
For anything else, please ask first. If you aren't sure of something, even if it's on this list, just ask!
What I Do and Don't Consider Credit
Do
Using the "inspired by" feature on ao3. If you post to ao3 this is a must, however, I consider this a direct link so no extra credit is needed. This applies to fics, podfics and art. A direct link to my original post or my social media if not on ao3. Reblogging my post with your work attached if on Tumblr or Twitter.
Don't
Just writing my social media name with no attached link. A screenshot of my original post or fic. Only gifting your work to me with no links and not using the "inspired by" feature. Removing credit after I have liked or seen it. I will be checking periodically.
Current Hyperfixations
In order from least to greatest.
Holes (book + movie)
Harry Potter (books + movies)
Warrior Cats
Political Stuff
Disclaimer: I am NOT a political blog, I will not post about politics often. I am not here to debate, if you don't like my views block and move on. If you do not agree with my beliefs you are safe here provided that, like I said, you don't harass me or anyone else. If I do talk about politics it will be clearly tagged and with warnings in the title. The purpose of this blog is simply so readers have a place to interact with me. Meaning, if you do not want to hear about my political beliefs, or don't care, you can ignore this section and anything I post that is labelled and tagged.
I am proship and a lover of dead dove, although not all of my fics reflect this. I like exploring dark topics, behaviours, and storylines. I believe fiction can influence reality to some extent under specific circumstances, but I don't believe everyone who reads incest fanfics is going to want to marry their sibling, for example.
I am anti-harassment, whether you agree with my beliefs or not. If you harass anyone for their beliefs, or think it okay to threaten anyone, then leave. You are NOT welcome here.
I am pro-choice, everybody should have control over their bodily autonomy.
There's definitely more, but I will post if they become relevant or as I think of them.
More may be added as I see fit, I will make a new post each time I have added or edited something just so everyone is aware!
Bye everyone! Have a wonderful day!
