redoing my intro!

i go by spooky or cryptid, though you could also call me aster/astrid!! we use they/them collectively, and she/her in a very specific way which i dont feel like explaining rn

our ao3 page is GhostWithABackstory, and we write for multiple different fandoms

I am a system so may fluctuate between using I and we for ourselves. more info (and random posts) @crypt1d-collective

here are most of the fandoms we're in

Linked Universe, , Aurora , asoue/atwq, life series, hermitcraft, deltarune and utmv!

Ok that was a lot, but yeah!!!

Tags I use:

#ghost people things - my oc tag! i also have started using #elicit , which is the official name of it. PLEASE send me asks about it. just anything pleaseeeeee

#starling silver - placeholder name for yet another oc universe!! its also the comic we're planning. we also use #whybc for the more "official" stuff (stands for "What Have You Become" wait why is become bc. ok nevermind i guess)

#spooky hurts - my chronic pain tag. i am in spain without the s. sometimes without the a. ive also used #spooky's vague illness but the other one is more common

#spooktober - currently using this for whumtober 2025, with both writing updates and the fics themselves posted!

#spooky draws - my art! also art rambles and updates. i may not use it frequently, but i really do love drawing

alters will sign off in tags if they post.

bye

an interesting linguistics find! so I'm reading this text from 1908 and it keeps referencing "hp" in the context of "not being at full hp" "applying your full hp to a task" etc

and I'm like....... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but I KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean

and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere

horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.

and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader

I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and he'd be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon'''' loses horsepower throughout the fight

language is amazing

It’s finally happened.

After almost a decade on this site, I found another Tumblr user in the wild. I stopped to tie my shoe with rainbow laces this morning outside the silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg, and I heard it.

“I like your shoelaces.”

Oh. Oh no.

I responded the only way I could. “Thanks.” And then I reluctantly added, “I stole them from the president…and if that makes sense to you, I’m very sorry.”

The poor man, in full Colonial dress, stared at me for a long moment. And then burst into laughter. And said, “I haven’t thought about that in YEARS and this has never happened to me before.”

Yeah. Me neither. Not until today.

Tumblr rite of passage. Achievement unlocked.
