I think I need a writing fairy to pop up and tell me to write every so often if I ever wanna get this chapter done lol. it's not even lack of motivation for the concept it just lack of motivation to fucking do anything rn why am I like this.....
(also in relation to that ik I said I'd lock in on lpstb but then I found a 700k word fic to read and now the exams are getting wayyyyy to close for my liking so we might be a little slow but I promise I'm still doing it!)
hey! I'm strawbxrry, you can also call me berry or bxrry. If I'm being honest most people use berry, but I'm fine with nicknames usually unless I have specified otherwise.
My pronouns are she/her. Please respect them, I try to show the same respect, but also I don't really mind people using they/them if they don't know, I'm not going to get offended. I'm just adding that because it's what I tend to do if I'm not sure. Feel free to correct me anytime, on anything, I really don't mind as long as you're polite about it!
More about me below the cut <3
Other accounts/things I do on here
I am usually not as active on my main account as I could be. I do post here from time to time, but if you really wanna find me in my natural habitat, head over to the life series community, I'm there quite a lot. I'm in quite a lot of life series/myct communities actually. They make me happy! I tend to do a lot of question times, if you search the tag #strawbxrry's question time! On the life series community you'll find them. They are honestly the most fun ever.
I am co admin of the Evil Anvil fan club community, if you guys like evil anvil or even if you just like the life series you should come join, we have fun over there.
I am a mod for @liferadayjune, a yearly event similar to hermit a day may, that has prompt/lifers to draw/write/create for every day of the month of June. 2026 is our first year running, and I am so excited for it, please come and take part if it interests you, and post your work on tumblr, we'll be reblogging as many as we can!
My ao3 account is Strawbxrrypies (s is capitalised this time not sure why) I write mostly for life series and mcyt atm. My main fic rn "Let's play spin the bottle (in the backseat)" is basically a college/party au, with ship recs taken from tumblr! I post about it a fair bit on here, those can be found under the tag #lpstb.
My fandoms
Quick list for now, I'll probably be adding:
General-
Six of crows, the inheritance games/the naturals/most books by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Red queen, the rookie, b99
MCYT-
life series main povs- lizzie, joel, Scott, gem, sometimes jimmy and etho
Hermitcraft- just joel s10+11 so far but I'll get there.
I've also watched things like empires, afterlife, x life, crazy craft, MCC ect.
Music-
Changes a lot right now I'm loving the crane wives, emei, Conan gray, olivia rodrigo, ashnikko, msi (music not band) snow wife ect ect (it goes on forever)
my boundaries
I like to think I'm pretty chill most of the time, but hate does tend to activate my fight or flight, and the general response is delete and forget. you will not get more than a second of my time for sending me hate, so I wouldn't bother if I were you.
also any AI sounding comments will get deleted on the spot as well. I'm not doing that. don't feel like it.
here are my do's and don'ts:
Do: send me asks, chat to me in my DMS, interact with me if you see me in the wild. don't be shy I don't bite. genuinely don't ever feel embarrassed or scared to ask me something I promise I will not judge you.
Do: correct me if you see me make a mistake, like reblogging something twice or on the wrong blog (I do that surprisingly often) or if I'm just using incorrect information, whatever. if you're nice about it, we should have no problems, and I would hate for my mistakes to stay up because someone was too scared to correct me.
Don't: okay I'm not gonna do a dni list cause we all know at this point, nobody wants to interact with homophobes or racists or other generally nasty hateful people. Keep that far away from me thank you, this is a place of whimsy. I also don't want like, religious or political rants in my ask box or blog. I am respectful of all religions and most political views, you are entitled to your opinion, you do not need to try and change mine. Also I will not be responding to anything asking me to send money, I don't have any, and there are much too many scams like that for me to even consider. I hope this is understandable, I'm not trying trying to be mean, just trying to protect my personal safety and well being.
Don't: ever assume I'm mad at you or that you've done something wrong without asking. Most of the time it's just my very poor attempt at sarcasm through screens. Tone indictators are great I use them as much as possible, but if I ever come across like you've done something wrong, feel free to check in, chances are I just suck at typing, or I'm tired or something . I never want to make someone feel bad, even by accident
Okay that was pretty much it. this list might update a bit in the future, but I try not to let anything on the internet get to me, so my boundaries are generally pretty lax. As long as you're nice and not trying to send an axe murderer to my house (this is an inside joke, I hope it finds the person I want it to) we should get along fine!
Some other things that may be relavent
I am a traffic/hermitshipper. I'm sorry if that isn't your cup of tea, I can absolutely respect that, but it is definitely I mine and I like to yap about it.*always characters never content creators btw*
-I do swear a lot. If that bothers you you can tell me to stop, and I'll try my best, it does tend to slip out sometime though, I'm sorry in advance.
-my inbox overwhelms me sometimes, but I do try to reply to everything that I think needs replying to eventually, so sometimes it takes a bit but I get there. If I ever forget don't be shy, remind me, sometimes it gets messy if i leave it too long, and i can miss things .i promise I won't think it's annoying.
-you can definitely tag me in tag games, I don't think that's annoying either. Sometimes I genuinely can't face doing them, but I never mind being tagged.
-i am the proud adoptive mother of the "🐩" crane wife, who has 107 siblings. in the words of zombiecleo "we're so proud of our baby!" (I love the crane children community so freaking much)
-I have been dubbed the Lizzie gal™ by @/peskybirdonyx and @/aries0nmars respectively and I will wear that title with pride :)

#berry yaps <3- just general thoughts (also not sorted)
#lpstb- anything about my ao3 college au (this one is tagged actually)
I'm so sorry it took ages btw I have two reasons: 1. I started reading @amethystfairy1's amazing Travelling Thieves AU and genuinely that was all I could think about so yeah.. I was slacking a bit and 2. I kept forgetting what the costume looked like and had to wait to check (which I kept forgetting to do as well) (that'll make sense when you read it hopefully)
anyway it's here now so please enjoy! and I've already started some more hopefully these ones will get finished quicker!
(not bothered to link you guys can find it yourselves <3)
yeah I uh.. I took a month on this one. I'm really sorry. it was a combination of things I think but it's finally done and that's the main thing. I've explained a tiny bit more in the start notes but I'll keep this short cause this notification is already quite a few hours late don't kill me guys....
my lovely tags list (again anyone who wants to be added/removed one hundred percent can be): @thenasoneshots @multishipper33 @argostly @0cupidzarrow0 @allhailgoldenchicken @corvus-corvidae @star-gamerxox @whimsical-steel @djyapyap33
uh yeah guys I don't have much to say on this except I'm glad it's done and here you go. I hope you like it. the next chapter is being worked on and all I will say is you are getting a Grian chapter and you may or may not like it :)
(oh also shout out to my lovely lovely writing fairy again @peskybirdonyx genuinely wouldn't have finished this without you so thank you <3)
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
guys I'm trying to do world building on my fic (ik it doesn't need it but it's happening so...) feel free to send me asks on anything about it I'll answer what I can at this point.
(also onyx is getting some backstory in her ask so that's coming anyways probably soon <3)
I don't have much to say this time round, except for, if you haven't seen the last post I made under the lpstb tag about the rewrites and break I will probably be taking you should go read that it's kinda important.
my lovely tags list (again anyone who wants to be added/removed one hundred percent can be): @thenasoneshots @multishipper33 @argostly @0cupidzarrow0 @allhailgoldenchicken @corvus-corvidae @star-gamerxox @whimsical-steel @djyapyap33 @goodtimeswithlunar
So this isn't a question but...(Sorry 😭, this wasn't supposed to be a rant)
I really wanted to say that I loooooove the spin the bottle fic so, so much and your writing is great!!!!
Also why did you do this to my sweet boy Martyn?! :( I usually like my treebark fluffy and happy but some angst and hurt is needed at times- I can see that thanks to your writing- because it makes the yearning grow stronger...
And(!!!) I'm so excited for the Impskizz part because yes, just kiss already vibes is on point for their relationship here, I believe.
NO NO ITS OKAY RANT TO ME ACTUALLY PLEASE RANT TO ME I LOVE IT!! <3
aww stop that is so sweet thank you. it still shocks me to this day that people like that fic even though I like it idk it's just so surreal so thank you for almost making me cry on the bus :)
uh to be honest I don't know why I did this. but it happened. idek if I'm proud of it or not. the evil author inside me definitely is anyway. and yes everyone should explore their favourite ships in various different settings/vibes/ tropes!? (yk what I mean) it lets the obsession sink deeper! the treebark will get their fluff eventually! (aw fuck I didn't mean to confirm that but as an avid treebark shipper I think you guys would've figured it out anyway lol)
for a second I got scared that you had access to my notes/planning on this fic because genuinely that is written in them but then I remembered that I posted stuff about ships and also used a line like that in the fic... I am so forgetful lol. anyway I'm glad you're excited, I'm also really excited to write them bc I recently read double take by watcherforge and it got me hooked on skizzpulse. I'm now absolutely kicking myself for writing their pining into this chapter though because it's a later chapter in the grand scheme of the night so I have to do a lot of the fillers before I can get to it. sigh...
anyway thank you so so much for this rant/ask I'm very smiley right now don't worry about it :)
berry outtttt <3
(also I'm gonna need to make a tag to tag my answered asks with soon. I also need to make an intro post. trust I will get there.. eventually....)
