*Taglist for Writeblr Live Reminders, yell at me if you want on/off*
So, we have an exciting development with the writeblr-live account.
Tumblr has decided to lock me out of the account and is using a recovery phone number I do not own for verification.
I've changed the recovery number through google, confirmed I can still get into that part of the account, but the login process for Tumblr won't go through and I can't seem to fix it.
...not entirely sure what to do here.
It is possible I may need to pass writeblr-live duties to someone else, or maybe make a side account on this one to run it.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi y'all! I'm Lumi. I write fanfiction and poetry in various genres and fandoms (Genshin Impact, Tron, etc). A good friend recently called me a musical storyteller, which I'd never considered until she mentioned it, but it makes sense. I love finding songs for scenes and curating song playlists for my longer stories.
I finished two longer stories this year for the Genshin fandom: Fighting Winter and Rise with the Sun. I also completed a month-long poetry challenge for Diluc's birthday month in April. And there are a bunch of other one-shot stories I wrote on both ao3 and Tumblr this year!
As for things I've started, there are many, but I wanted to call out two collabs I wrote with my beta reader and good friend @chaotic-snowflake. One is a Tumblr exclusive called The Chaos Wars, which was an inside joke that turned into an ongoing series involving Kaeya and Furina (and others around them). And the other is an ongoing ao3 series called On Why Windblume & Alcohol Should Never Be Mixed. I also have another long political drama in the works which will include two OCs as part of the main cast - no chapters have been posted yet.
Not good, I'll tell you that. Two of them are going through the worst trauma of their lives, two of them are getting ready to join a scientific conspiracy, and one of them is about to realize that is childhood best friend is a selfish, arrogant, manipulative, abusive piece of shit. So that's a thing!
I would like to know what beyond swords Kit knows and will talk about, specifically unintelligible things about weapons.
If...if he's up for yappin. >.>
Sorry this is late, I've been pretty tired the last couple of days.
Kit knows many things. He contains multitudes. Unfortunately, the weapons knowledge has crowded out lots of silly, unnecessary stuff like how to cook and what you're supposed to do on Valentine's Day when you have a boyfriend.
Most of what he rants about, in Alex's general direction at least, are just weapons hot takes of the nichest caliber. Zweihanders are good strength training but ultimately useless for anything but very basic melee crowd control, dual-wielding (sword and dagger only, heaven forbid you suggest dual-wielding proper swords) is great unless there's even the slightest chance you'll need your off-hand for anything else (in his line of work, he usually does)...
He's also constantly learning more about weapons from distant cultures thanks to either Tumblr or his boring weapons forums, so Alex hears about that a lot. Kit wishes he had a use for a khopesh.
(Alex likes to counter any 'x weapon is useless' rants, even the ones that go all the way over his head, with 'Says the guy who readily throws half of his weapons at people and has to replace them constantly,' and he usually doesn't get any further that that before Kit throws something at him)
Is it a spoiler or did you just really want to send them there?
The answer is very straight-forward my friend... author's bias, I'm from there! 🤣
That and I thought it would be quite amusing as well as befitting, a lot of Irish mythology is deeply tied to faerie lore, some of it relating to how the domains of the fae are travellable/tied to Ireland.
Hence, I chose to weave that aspect into my own works. There are certain things in my lore/plotlines that are references to the mythology, some of it more subtle than others
Thanks for the ask!

Falcon in a Birdcage is a sci-fi living weapon story taking place sometime in the future. While at war, the government has taken to creating altered "super soldiers" to help fight. Supposedly these people are volunteers, but given that the the super soldier process involves memory wiping, who knows how true that is. Nikka is one of the first— at least, first to survive the process.
Of the four main super soldiers, Nikka is the one who's been the most mutilated and changed. While the others are recognizable as humans with adaptations, she is a creature— the type of thing you see in your dreams or deep in the woods at night. She has claws and a deformed face with sharp teeth and limbs that don't bend normally.
Out of all of them, she's become the most violent and tends to get aggressive even with her own teammates as a coping mechanism. When you treat someone like a monster, they tend to become one. But beneath it all, she's just broken and hurt. Even though they may all be prisoners of the military and abused, at least the others are loved by the world, seen as heroes, and are desirable. And she? She's a freak. A monster. She would give anything to have her humanity back, and she knows she never will.
