Where to Find Me

Just realised I should probably have a pinned post with links to my accounts. If you wanna read my shit, best place to go is Archive of Our Own, where I operate under the name Advena_van_Boekel.

I write, sometimes, and this is honestly the best place to read my work. There's not much there, but I am working on things in the background, and occasionally I post sneak peaks.

Please help spread this petition far and wide for visibility The above reactionary bill was made in retaliation towards a trans woman winning a case in federal court against transphobes so now they're accellerating to hurt us all (Giggle Vs Tickle)

Hands off our Protections Our communities are facing some of the most serious attacks on our rights and protections in many years. Right no

Please sign that petition if you can, this bill is worse than it seems. Its primary purpose is to exclude trans women from women's spaces, including bathrooms, prisons, homeless shelters, and sports. It also cements transphobic, intersexist, and acephobic beliefs that are already somewhat present in Australia's law.

It is worth noting that this bill is being pushed by the National party, one of Australia's main right-wing parties. The party currently in power is the Labour party, our biggest left-wing/centrist party. The party pushing for this bill does not have the votes needed to pass it, and thus either needs to convince centrists to agree with them or are doing this to curry favour for the next election or some other goal.

When it comes to the bill itself, they are defining anything relating to one's sex in terms of the sex binary in a way which excludes intersex people in many ways. They also are changing the definition of sexual attraction, and the main change this makes is an exclusion of non-binary people in attraction. However, it is also worded so a trans woman lesbian is considered straight, and their definition also doesn't properly include asexual people. Those wording issues are already present in the original law, however.

They are also explicitly stating that it's okay to discriminate against transfems in women's spaces of any kind, including prisons, bathrooms, homeless shelters, and sports. That is the main change being pushed for.

Keep reblogging this please to help gain attention to the issue! Labor, the majority government, have been especially quiet about this issue while right wing media has pumped out tons of anti-trans political puff pieces while only one Greens member and one Independant member have spoken up!

Email or call your local MP if you can and tell them they need to publically push back and press them on the harm this bills mere existence is causing! Lately Labors silence on issues is not a good one and they are far from being functional enough for the people since doubling down on right wing policy. A simple reminder: Labor is not your friend, they're bought out and working for someone else

You can also email and call your state member, not just your federal one as if they get enough complaints they may additionally bother the federal MP on your behalf! Make noise at all levels of government!

If you don't know who your member is you can use this link to look up both state and federal members, just use your postcode or suburb to check.

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

Lulu's Totally Unofficial Guide to the Top 10 Freeform Tags to Add to Your Fanfic

Genre - Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Slice of Life, Case Fic, etc.

AU - If it's an AU, what kind? What role do each of the characters play? How is it different to their canon role?

Parts of canon - If it's not an AU, what part of canon is it about? Is it set before, during or after a particular episode?

Themes - Are there any topics or ideas which you are trying to explore, or which come up repeatedly?

Minor Warnings - Is there anything you think you should warn for that isn't included in the archive warnings?

Format & Length - Is your work art, video, podfic, etc? Does it use a particular format like a Drabble or 5+1?

Characters - What is going on with each of your major characters? If you had to describe them with one or two adjectives, what would you pick? (Format as [Adjective] [Character Name].)

Relationships - What is going on with each of your major relationships? Are there any relationship tropes like Slow Burn or Enemies to Lovers in your story?

Tropes - Are there any tropes or common story elements in your story that haven't been tagged yet? If your work was on TV tropes, what are the first things you would add?

Sex - If your work includes sex, what kink(s) and specific act(s) does it involve?

Remember: you can always look at the drop-down menu for suggestions. But! If you want to tag something that doesn't appear on the drop-down menu, you can & should write in a new tag!

This is a good guide!

businesstiramisu

This is one of the things r/ao3 is actually pretty helpful for, in fact I think centrumlumina's guide is almost word-for-word match for advice that i see posted regularly on there. Its also great for "here's a thing that happens in my story/i want to warn readers about, is there a tag for that?" (Or even "this tag i already know about doesn't suit my purposes for xyz reasons. What can i do instead?")

if the theory of amarantha and tamlin having been mates were true it honestly would just lead to portraying tamlin as an even stronger person in terms of moral conviction and self control than all others while also elevating his love for feyre to insane levels

like this guy was so opposed to his mate's political stances and treatment of lucien that he outright rejected her, then fell in love with someone else so deeply that he killed his own mate over hurting her

none of the other guys can compare: lucien betrays his friendship with tamlin over a still hopeless mating bond with elain, rhysand treats feyre as a tool and sex object before he notices the bond and only respects her as a person after, cassian thinks nesta is a repulsive and awful person but lacks the strength of conviction or ability to resist his cock's desires to leave her over it

but not tamlin, he will forge his life according to his own wants and beliefs in spite of whatever the dumb cauldron wants him to do

Before she could really tell them why, before see could defend herself If only she had been in her Avatar when he did so…

Chapter 33 Snippet

Today was going to be a busy day.

She bid her farewell and her fed took her up to Tab’s tent. The human woman was sitting out, frowning at her guard, both of them holding RDA-standard playing guards from a recent raid and it looked like they were betting different seeds and nuts. Tiny in his Na’vi hands but it seemed he had crafted a wooden holder but he was grinning triumphantly. Alma could see why. A Straight flush.

“<Having fun?>”

“<The game of Pokes is enjoyable.>” The guard said, “<I appear to be winning.>”

“I just taught him the game!” Tab hissed, looking annoyed. “Beginners luck.”

Alma scoffed a little. “<She’s a sore loser.>” She added to the guard with a chuckle.

“Am not!”

“<Your ears and tail will be a tell, so be prepared to mask that in your bluffs.>” Alma added.

The guard’s hand went to his head, his ear. “<Thank you.>”

Tab gaped in offence. “<You’re helping him!>”

“<No, just highlighting oversights you didn’t share.>” Alma grinned.

“<I have two bowls of nuts on this bet!>”
