IMPORTANT: I have a blog with WordPress called FellSpace Books (play on words of L-Space). If I'm nuked again, for whatever reason, you should be able to find me there. I'm not very active right now, but I will be if the need arises lol. URL is fellspace.wordpress.com.
Anyway.
Welcome! I go by Wren online. For this blog there is a cw for self harm and/or mentions of suicide, it's not a guarantee but it could be here. I write and sometimes do art. My wonderful husband is @aurelia-aurita-marine . Don't get him started on Ryan Gosling. Or do. Ryan Gosling is cool.
There is a lotttt of shit (more abt me) below the cut. Be warned.
I'm in a lot of fandoms and my fixation changes a lot as well. Some of my most common are: Magnus Bane, The Hunger Games, BBC Merlin, LOTR, Ranger's Apprentice, Discworld, Nimona (mostly the graphic novel), Katzen-Jammer, Gideon the Ninth, Project Hail Mary & Iron Lung (ngngngng), and various musicals. I'm also the pioneer of the Mary Emmons tag (Hamilton/RPF) on AO3 afaik.
My other interests include climate justice, outdoorsy type shit, native flaura and fauna, marine biology, space, languages, and history. Also old books, as Project Gutenberg is my wife; mythology; and reading in general. I'm Hellenist and sort of agnostic.
My first playthrough of Undertale (incomplete, i am at the king guy boss fight but havent uploaded photos)
WIPS:
this is not an alexander appreciation club (burr 4 life) - hamilton crack. no better way to put it.
Tyrant's Reign - My main original wip. Follows an ensemble of five characters as they save the world, take down the tyrant queen, and then have to deal with the aftermath of killing a fascist with a large following in the aristocracy. High fantasy, no romance, all-queer cast.
⭐ 50k reached!
so you think you can tell - Eva Stratt is put on the Hail Mary (illusion of choice, whatever) and events ensue. But she'll be fine if she just keeps going, right?
title is a reference to wish you were here by pink floyd and i genuinely think its so her song. the album in general is very phm to be entirely honest.
Tags I occasionally use:
#supdate sunday for fortnightly writing updates (as of October 2025, this is no longer happening, but you can find old posts still)
#tyrants reign for anything about my current WIP
#ἐλληνική for my amateur attempts at classical Greek, and #deutsch or #deutschposten for German (which I am somewhat better at)
You can also search #ranger gathering for stuff related to any gatherings I participate in. (may be under the respective year tags instead)
DNI: Generally I'll just block you, but this blog does not welcome pro-censorship views, bigotry, or gen ai users. There may be reblogged NSFW content (gore and smut) on this blog, so if that will make you uncomfortable, I advise you to be careful.
My opinion on pro/anti shipping is here
Finally:
Free Palestine, Indigenous peoples, and people living under oppressive regimes. Queer, disabled, women's, BIPOC, intersex rights are human rights. And I support trans men as much as trans women and enben, conflicting identities (lesgay, lesboys, etc) are real, and other people's letters are nunya.
things in phm that really tickled me as a marine biologist:
the concept of star-eating microbes causing a crisis and the solution being the introduction of space wolves to space yellowstone to control the space elk population. i love a good trophic cascade
dr ryland grace immediately pitching "turn the spaceship into a giant centrifuge to generate gravity" and then not balancing his actual centrifuge later on
the entire "life is reason" scene really
grace forgetting to open the mystery alien container in a fume hood AND immediately sticking his nose in it. if we did this in chemistry lab we were executed on the spot
academia drama being one of the cornerstones of grace's character
grace switching through every spectrum setting on the microscope to try to see into the astrophages and not being able to (relatable)
also: the astrophage dying and grace going "ohhh it died..." (very relatable)
grace having his not-scientist buddy Carl to give him frank solutions when he's overthinking. yes, often the solution is just to put the box in another box
copious duct tape usage
just sticking a filter into the path of the petrova line to collect astrophage goop
eva going "so it's alive" when grace tells them the astrophage are moving, and him being like "WELL ok that could be for a lot of reasons" in the tone of someone who doesn't even know where to start explaining why that's a hasty assumption
grace referring to the first new astrophage as his and carl's baby multiple times (HIGHLY relatable)
humanity's greatest hope being a teacher. humanity being saved by grace's ability to find novel ways to communicate well with others -- something that made him excellent as an educator, and enabled him to bond with rocky
When it’s announced that a Bay Area middle school teacher is one of three heroes sent to save the world, San Francisco clamors to rename things to “Ryland Grace.” Grover Cleveland Middle is quick to the draw, becoming Ryland Grace Middle the very next school year. Grace also gets a street, of course, a science wing at Stanford, a state park along the coast — by the time the Beetles return, you could probably throw a rock in San Francisco and hit a Ryland Grace reference.
Eva Stratt, meanwhile, is a stain. Graffiti tucked away in alleys and under bridges, forever painted over by the powers that be. A name meant to be forgotten. Stratt has always known this was part of the deal: after all, humanity needs a villain just as much as it needs its heroes. The best she can hope for is to be erased entirely on Earth.
And yet, light-years away, there is a beloved body of water, its surface dancing with artificial waves, that Ryland Grace wistfully refers to as The Sea of Stratt.
“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat
as pride month is wrapping up, I really wanna talk quickly about how LGBTQ+ disabled people are excluded from pride.
despite literally being a community comprised entirely of some of the most historically (and in a lot of instances, presently) discriminated-against groups on the planet, a lot of queer people seem to just shit on disabled people at every chance they get— and that’s if they even remember that we exist.
it’s just baffling to me that a group of people who preach inclusivity and acceptance are some of the least accepting people out there when it comes to accessibility at events. there is no consideration for us when planning events. if they even remember that they’re supposed to be making the space accessible and inclusive, they do the bare minimum while going around saying they’re saints for doing so.
wanna go to a parade? okay, why don’t you go stand in 90+ degree heat for 7 hours with no access to water in that entire time. wanna go to this cool pop-up event? oops, there’s no wheelchair paths, and everyone is going to be blocking your way anyway. sure, we’ll hold an indoor event, but there’s no air conditioning, you’re not allowed to use the bathrooms, and absolutely no one is masking despite there being hundreds of people crammed into a singular venue. and yes, we will be deploying strobe lights at random intervals.
the general attitude is just: “why are you even here if you’re disabled? you should be locked up in your house never interacting with the rest of us, because it’s too much of an inconvenience to accommodate you.” either that, or: “huh? oh I forgot you guys existed. ummm… well at least the stairs aren’t too steep, and you can buy a $20 water bottle if you need it!” like come on. do better.
I saw someone call Doctor Who (2005-) “lost media” because it got removed from streaming in the US, and no. Absolutely it is not.
It is inaccessible via streaming in that specific region. We still have it. It exists. On DVDs. On Blu rays. In digital libraries. In archives. On streaming in other countries. In the hands of thousands of people who own physical copies. Nothing about that is lost.
This is especially baffling coming from the Doctor Who fandom, a fandom that contains one of the most well known and well documented cases of actual lost media. There are episodes of Doctor Who that genuinely do not survive. No master tapes. No home recordings. No official copies. Entire stories that exist only as audio, telesnaps, or reconstruction efforts because the video is gone.
That is what lost media means.
Calling New Who lost media because it is not currently available on a streaming service in your country muddies that distinction and makes the term meaningless. It erases the reality of material that is truly gone and cannot be recovered in full.
There is a real conversation to be had about accessibility, regional licensing, and the increasing fragility of streaming based media access. But that is a different conversation. Inconvenient to access is not the same thing as lost.
Please do not flatten those concepts into the same thing.
I can't access most nuwho unless I sail the seven seas because of the country I live in. It's just a fact of life. This is *not* lost media just because it is harder for me to access it. Full video and audio recordings exist. Like op said, it's honestly baffling that a fandom with true lost media is calling the 2005 nuwho lost media.
