I’m a defeatist but I don’t have to be

Kyra, she/her, aro/ace, queer in general. I have a lot of Loki feelings. I write fanfic sometimes, mostly about Loki. I like stupid jokes and I play games on easy because I'm an adult and I can do that if I want to. I also dabble in customizing action figures, and I have an Etsy shop for simple Funko Pop! customs and a few other things. Formerly visions-and-revisions. I also run the Hope Jar and Alaska Gothic. Ace Inquisitor icon by doriansbutt--go commission them!

because I’d love to have a fancier pinned post but realistically it’ll be years before I get around to making one and I’d like something useful in the meantime, I’m just going to make a list of potentially interesting/relevant links...

Archive of Our Own (also I have several invites)

Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky, Mastodon grudgingly and I haven’t actually used it yet

Discord: 100indecisions

Grouvee but I mostly just use it for obsessively listing games I’ve played or want to play rather than talking about them 

GoodReads and Storygraph, ditto, although I do occasionally write book reviews on GoodReads, especially about Loki-related books (I have a whole shelf for this...and another shelf of Hiddleston-related books)

my tiny Etsy shop

my carrd, with a few other links

a scattershot guide to shopping with Xianyu and Superbuy 

and tags:

occasionally I write things: my writing tag (all finished stuff is on AO3 though)

adventures in customizing: customized action figures (well, mostly Funko figures) and other craft-type things sometimes

my meta: my meta/headcanon posts, which sometimes means original posts and sometimes just means I reblogged something and added a little in the tags; primarily but not exclusively about Loki (one in particular is my attempt at a comprehensive list of evidence that Loki was tortured on Sanctuary)

the adventures of tiny Loki and Thor: silly action figure photos

loki show: well that’s my tag for the Loki show. it’s also the one to blacklist if you really hated it, because I mostly really liked it, so nearly everything I post about it is positive

I have an army...of Loki figures: my collection of Loki figures, plushies, pins, etc. I’ve been building it since at least 2014. it’s, uh, large

my kids: my fuzzy children (one dog, one cat)...and characters I make in games, because they are also my children

kyra plays: posts about games I’m playing

fic rec: fic recs

queer stuff: self-explanatory

this whole thing smacks of gender: apparently I might not be 100% cis after all, which is news to me (I’m like. still mostly cis but also a tiny bit agender, but specifically in a “my tag about this is based on a dril tweet” way?) 

plagueblogging: started out as personal pandemic-related stuff, kinda expanded to 2020 in general, kinda went back to being specifically pandemic-related when 2020 ended and everything that came with it...didn’t (as of April 2022, includes my own experiences with covid, yaaaay)

cool stuff people made me: commissions and art requests mostly

the-hope-jar: my sideblog for just like...hopeful/encouraging/happy things

alaska-gothic: my sideblog for what it says on the tin (includes some of my own photography, although not a lot, and I keep meaning to post more)

Reblog and put in the tags if you can remember where you got the shirt you're currently wearing.

you have permission to pick that 2 year old "abandoned" project back up. it's not mad at you for setting it aside. and maybe time and distance have helped ease or erase the things that made you put it down in the first place.

Tumblr gets to see it first! I think this is one of my favorite scenes in the movie 🖤

My gift to you is the creature enjoying a warm cup of coco 🩶

Hope they'll figure it out together in season 2 <3 <3

i love explaining the etymology of the word "rickroll" because the story starts with "ok, so at one point 4chan applied a filter to everyone's posts that changed the word egg to duck"

[thelightofthingshopedfor]

I will say. the one thing that bugs me VERY MUCH about Magnifica Humanitas is the lack of the Oxford comma and I would like to know why the Vatican's house style is to not use it

[thelightofthingshopedfor]

ten people you'd like to get to know better game

tagged by @surrexi, thanks!

last song: I actually went to a concert last night for the first time in ages, does that count? it was for Purity Ring and I was volunteering for mask distribution. It was cool. Apparently the literal last song I listened to, as in the one that's paused on my iPod, is "Peter Pan" by Arcade Fire.

currently watching: nothing, but I'm about to watch (like, tomorrow) the David Tennant/Catherine Tate Much Ado About Nothing, because I'm doing a crazy thing and I got a ticket to the Tom Hiddleston/Hayley Atwell Broadway show in November, and in trying to figure out a version of the play to read in preparation that would have a good balance of helpful but non-overwhelming annotations, I was reminded that this version existed, and I figure the more familiar I am with the play in general, the less likely I am to miss stuff when I actually see it live. I did already see it live once, back in...2006? and it was very well done, but obviously this time I'm seeing it for an extremely specific reason, and absolutely anything I can do in advance that might help me catch nuances of Tom's performance is likely to help me enjoy it more. (I also plan to bring binoculars. I don't have a bad seat, but I did go for a cheap seat, so.)

current obsession: I guess the most recent thing that would qualify as an obsession would probably be GDT's Frankenstein, which has somewhat turned into an interest in other Frankenstein adaptations. there's also this. and more broadly I've been fixated on checking off the current GoodReads reading challenges.

currently reading: I'm very slowly re-reading Dracula, because I'm doing Dracula Daily. I'm making my way through Magnifica Humanitas, which is pretty incredible, although for various reasons it's taking me a while. I have 5 graphic novels out from Hoopla mostly thanks to their Bonus Borrows thing this week, and I'm about to start Mickey7 for one of the GoodReads challenges. I just finished Japanese Gothic, which...I'm not really sure what I think about it, like a lot of what I've been reading lately. well, and I'm sort of still reading Powerless, but I was annoyed with it after like two chapters and then my slightly sneakily obtained ebook went away, and I'm not sure if the book is worth my time even if my library has it (they do).

currently working on: I have some Marvel Trumps Hate fills to make and I'm going to do that this weekend. also writing a Sylki hanahaki disease fic.

last search: "juha k. tapio frankenstein's notebook". there is no English translation. :(
