Intro Post
Last updated: 03-06-2026
Hi! I’m not quite sure what people usually put in these things—I don’t share my name or age on here, because I’m overly cautious about internet safety—but I thought I’d give this a go.
The Nightshadow Queen (any pronouns)
I am:
Queer
Agender (it’s not quite the perfect label, but it’s the closest I could find, and I couldn’t be bothered to keep trying to figure out my gender, so we’re going with it)
Neurodivergent (autism and ADHD)
Chronically ill
American (not by choice; please get me out)

Posting my fandom edits as Nightshadow Edits on YouTube and TheNightshadowQueen on TikTok
My fandoms (ranked in order of how often I post about them (although I tend to cycle through hyperfixations and post about them rotationally)) are:
Shoot from the Hip (improv comedy group) and Roll from the Hip (SftH’s DnD channel)
Interview with the Vampire (AMC TV show)
Villains series (Vicious and Vengeful) by V. E. Schwab (book series)
Merlin (BBC TV show)
Hannibal (NBC TV show)
Half Man (BBC & HBO miniseries)
Atlantis (BBC TV show)
All of Us Villains duology (All of Us Villains and All of Our Demise) by Amanda Foody and C. L. Herman (book duology)
My top ships from each fandom are:
Mafia Husbands, Annabutch, Ditch, Hornchurch, Esmeranna, the Bittersweethearts (as a polycule)
Loustat, Devil’s Minion (although everybody’s fucked everybody in this show and I’m here for all of it)
Evervale (they’re soulmates in the worst, most fucked-up way possible)
Merthur (they’re literally soulmates) (although shoutout to Morgwen) (and also kind of Gwaine with fucking anyone and everyone, because… well, obviously)
Murder Husbands (can you tell my niche is fucked-up people who do fucked-up shit to each other but they're both into it so it's fine?)
Bambicest (because fucking obviously they’re my favourite)
Pythacarus (insane fucking ship to be canon and I love them for it)
Castlelair (I am so insane about these two oh my GOD)
My favourite character from each fandom is:
Locomotion (he’s fucked-up and insane and terrifying and I think that’s hot I’m intrigued by him)
Armand (Lestat is a very close second, but Armand is so fucked-up and fascinating (I always hear that word in his voice) in such a unique way)
Victor Vale (I relate to him a perfectly healthy amount, I promise)
Morgana Pendragon (insane evil women. that’s all I have to say.)
Will Graham (his fucking corruption arc is so glorious and gorgeous and I love it)
Niall Kennedy/Ruben Pallister (I genuinely can’t pick) (but I do also love both Alby and Ava, so they’re definitely my favourite supporting characters)
Pythagoras (one the most autistic-coded characters in the history of television) (although shoutout to Medea; she fascinates me)
Alastair Lowe (he’s so fucking broken and he doesn’t even realise it and it kills me)
If you’re a SftH fan, my favourite longform is currently Rock Paper Scissors? and my favourite RftH campaign is the Plagueround.
I try pretty hard to stay away from posting about politics/the state of the world/any of the bullshit going on with all that, because my mental health genuinely can’t take thinking about any of that right now, but I want to make it very clear: if you’re any kind of bigot, then you can fuck right off and never come back. Cheers.
Feel free to send asks or message me or anything; just please know that I can sometimes take quite a while to reply due to my being ill, so if I don’t get back to you for a bit, it’s nothing personal!
Also: feel free to tag me any time and to include me in tag games! Just please know that sometimes I don’t participate in tag games if I feel like it would take too much energy for me at that time. Again, it’s absolutely nothing personal, and I love being tagged! I’m just not always up for joining in.
Welcome, and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
