The ouroboros of doing nothing by halves.
Consume and be consumed in endless cycles.
Guilty as charged of Nerdery in the following counts: Sciences (primarily biochemistry). Media (currently serving a sentence for BSD - there will be LN spoilers). TTRPGs (and LARPs).
I am allergic to the queue function.
Sorry.

I am Iris (she/her, 18+) and I have been informed it might be useful to have a pinned post that is not over two years old and just about a specific AU. So, here we are!
This blog is made up of everything I adore. While I have great respect for people who make side blogs for their interests, I don't have the energy for that. So you will be getting a wild mix (mostly BSD at the time of writing).
My ask box is always open, and I accept writing prompts when I reblog #prompt lists and say so (just be aware that it might take me a bit to get to them).
Aside from fandom tags, which I'll put below the cut because they are plentiful, some of the recurring tags you'll find are:
#iris answers - for answered asks. Usually the next tag is the asker, if you're looking for someone specific.
#woven threads - a collection of answers for asks I sent other people
#iris' late night ramblings - personal talk tag. (The 'late night' part is anecdotal. These can happen at any time of day.)
#iris writes fic - fic writing on Tumblr and the occasional AO3 update. Note that most of my bsd fic is currently only on Tumblr.
#iris has fun with nendos and #nuiventures - photos of my nendos and nuis, of which I have too many. It's a problem. Unfortunately, they are very cute.
#lemon - nsfw tag. Mute this if you don't want to see that sort of thing.
I think those are the most important? I guess I can also put my AO3 here, in case someone wants to take a gander.
Fandom-agnostic tags
#bladed ones - tag for swords and other bladed weapons
#burning bright - for the pyromanticism, the warmth of the fire
#devotion tag - for knights, princes, and all other sorts of devoted characters. Rarely also #knightposting
#good tropes - tropes that I enjoy
#leyendecker strikes again - I really like this guy's art
#red thread spotted - posts about the red thread of fate, in art or writing
#science doing science things - for the most science-y posts I can find
#the siren song of the sea - for the marvels of the endless blue oceans that reel me in
#the spider lilies are at it again - they haunt me
#time loop time loop time loop - I like time loops. Who knew.
#vampires - I like vampires. There's a tag if you too like vampires.
Fandom tags, aka stuff you will find on my blog, alphabetically:
#ace attorney
#bsd - Bungou Stray Dog, and its subtags:
#skk (usually), sometimes #soukoku - ship tag for Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya
#bsd [character or group], e.g.: #bsd dazai, #bsd chuuya, #bsd the flags, #bsd hunting dogs - character and group tags
#bsd spoilers and #bsd manga spoilers - spoilers for recent developments. Mute these if you don't want to see that sort of thing.
#bsd mayoi - tag for the (dying?) mobile gacha game BSD Tales of the Lost. 'Mayoi' is just cuter than 'totl'.
#iris reads bsd and #iris watches bsd - my tags for experiencing the light novels, manga and anime, occasionally live blogged as I went through them.
Special tags:
#our bandaged snow white who just wants to rest - Dazai tag for when he's particularly princess.
#bugzai - Dazai tag for. The opposite of the previous tag? Particularly mafia era Dazai.
#Oda's guardian devil - Beastzai tag
#our ride or die prince - Chuuya tag for when he's particularly chivalrous. Or on a motorbike. Or down to ride or die.
#it's always Mori posting hours - it is an unfortunate reality that I like the guy, and have thoughts about him. Therefore, he gets a tag.
#port mafia misadventures - usually lighthearted or silly takes about the behind the scenes we don't get to see for the mafia
#beast is the gift that keeps on giving (pain) - I feel like the name really already explains it but. This is my tag for painful beast things. Of which there are many. Tread carefully.
Further ship tags you might find:
#kunikidazai - ship tag for Kunikida and Dazai
#fukumori - ship tag for Fukuzawa and Mori
#shin skk - ship tag for Atsushi and Akutagawa
#dcmk - Detective Conan and Magic Kaito, and its subtags
#akam - shorthand for all ships between iterations of Akai Shuuichi and Furuya Rei. I will occasionally additionally tag specific variants such as #okiamu or #raibabo if they are relevant, but akam is the primary catch-all.
#obligatory akam tag - for stuff that isn't technically writing or art etc of them, but that reminds me of them
#obligatory Rei tag and #obligatory Akai tag - similar to the equivalent akam tag, not technically about the characters, but about the characters. In my heart of hearts.
#whiskey trio - I use this tag both for the ship of Scotch, Bourbon, and Rye, as well as for them platonically. Only thing that matters is that the three of them are there.
Other ship tags you might find:
#hakukai - Hakuba and Kaito
#heishin - Heiji and Shinichi
#kaishin - Kaito and Shinichi
#nagano trio - Koumei, Yui, and Kansuke

#dr - Danganronpa
#fma - Fullmetal Alchemist (all iterations)
