hello!

after having this blog for a while now i decided i should probably make an actual introduction post, especially since i'm getting more active again lol

hello, my name is kaz or drew whichever you prefer and i use they/he pronouns. i’m a queer writer, artist, and reader that is constantly bouncing between different hyperfixations. my current list of fixations are:

iron lung

project hail mary

all for the game series

dead poets society

hannibal

markiplier (always)

supernatural

interview with the vampire amc

the hades games

merlin

queer thriller novels

genshin impact (don't judge)

and dnd

there are a lot of others but they’re currently lurking in the back of my brain like sleeper agents waiting to be reawoken at this point.

and also, if you didn’t know, i have other blogs (two to be added after i fix them up they're...a mess of old content rn) and two ao3 accounts lol

God can you imagine if Donald Trump became president? There’d be like a new bubonic plague and he’d be like “idk drink bleach about it”

Throwback to when I took acid for the first time in 2013 and predicted the events of 2020 like the fucking oracle of Delphi

"Grace Ryland is Rocky's dog" is such a funny fucking dynamic when you think about it

Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.

So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.

But at the same time... imagine youre one of the first ever cosmonauts to make it into space. Then you meet a 10 year old alien dog who cant do 2+2 without pulling out its calculator. It forgets everything constantly and has to keep notes everywhere, like it basically lives in Memento (2000). Also if it doesnt nap constantly it gets even stupider. And you somehow has to reconcile this with the fact that this dog has a better understanding of physics than your entire civilization does. Like the dog knows how the universe started.

i actually never ever want AO3 to be censored bc nothing is more fun than reading the tags on a fic and going “huh. didn’t know there was a market for that.”

I didn't realize that this was about Project Hail Mary at first I just accepted that this was Ryan Gosling's fault and we have to kill him

[t4timekeeper]

anyway i think fans of unjustly overhated female characters and fans of unjustly overhated characters of colour should unionize

[omtai]

Im sorry I didn’t reply to your message for three weeks. I did not forget about it infact I thought about it regularly every day. It will happen again

"You only like this character because she's a woman!" okay and you hate her because she's a woman, knowing that she has all the traits you would enjoy in a male character.

the thing about ai witch hunt is that instead of spreading awareness about why and how ai can be harmful, people focus their energy on harassing other people instead. so instead of actually achieving something, fandom space and the internet as a whole just became twice as toxic because people have found a ✨noble way✨ to tell other people to off themselves and get praises for it. you’re not helping. you’re part of the problem

[riverlarking]

i love clicking on somebody’s ao3 profile and seeing the most nonsensical collection of fandoms. like yess let's live a thousand lifetimes

[exhuastedpigeon]

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

If Lestat met Hob Gadling they would both be delightful for appropriately 5 minutes and then Hob would start ragebaiting Lestat. I just don't think he could resist clowning on a blond French man.

Why artists and writers reblog their work multiple times:

They posted it late at night and want people to see it in the daytime

They want others to reblog it

They want more attention for it

THEY WANT OTHERS TO REBLOG IT

They have followers in different timezones and want everyone to get a chance to see it

THEY WANT OTHERS TO REBLOG IT

IF THEY REBLOG IT MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY’RE DOING IT BECAUSE THEY WANT ATTENTION FOR IT AND THEY’RE LIKELY NOT GETTING ENOUGH, SO THEY KEEP REBLOGGING IT IN THE HOPES THEY’LL GET SOME

BE A COOL BRO AND REBLOG

THEY’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER

“Bro why you keep reblogging your own work bro” “BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE IS”

The same reason movies play in theaters for longer than one night.

The same reason art exhibits last for days.

The same reason music isn’t listened to only once.

Reblogging for the last comment! 👍👍👍

“mutated eel monster simon” this “mutated tree creature simon” that

i raise you: a really fucked up version of both

simon not needing to eat, instead being sustained by blood or the artificial grow lights and water, humming into the soil as he helps things grow through the nutrient decay that flooded his body in the ocean

simon’s cheek splitting like tree roots carving through wet earth when he’s angry, too large teeth bared with a venom slicked tongue while he stares down his adversary with a predatory green eye

simon’s prosthetic arm he is gifted isn’t attached through a harness nor is it hiding teeth, but instead branches emerge to hold the sun-warmed metal to his body, roots acting as nerves on the inside to grant him feeling again

simon being able to breathe underwater, not forever but for significantly longer than he should, as he feels himself glide through the cool liquid with ease entirely foreign to his human body

simon getting upset or even sick if he is out of sunlight for too long—artificial or otherwise—and the cravings turn dark and dangerous as the roots inside his body incessantly beg for anything to survive

simon being both an animalistic and natural horror
