I write things, and you can read them at the links below.

Bridgerton (Kate/Anthony) fic here.

Sailor Moon (Usagi/Mamoru) fic here.

This whole attempting to write without shame thing has really been freeing.

My titles don’t always work? Whatever. Too many commas in that sentence? Eh, it’s fine. Someone isn’t going to like it? Truly who gives a fuck.

This bubble is likely going to pop at one point, but at least I’m having fun for now.

Pretty on the nose after the my last post. Proud of myself for getting this out.

Surely these circumstances will improve with additional shame

Literally the reason bullying does the opposite of motivating me.

#someone tried this with my dissertation and guess what it didn’t work #also it makes the psychologist in me die inside

Luke Thompson awkwardly trying to to learn a tik tok dance from Yerin Ha is basically me in fandom trying to engage with people in their 20s.

If you’re looking for the worst possible takes on Anthony Bridgerton (and, truly, on a lot of other things), you can apparently find them on Threads.

#I only downloaded it for the Olympics but it’s time to go

Look I know I bitch A LOT about negative attitudes in the Bridgerton fandom but truly it’s the black and white you must either think it’s perfect or think it’s terrible and there’s no room for anything in between actually pisses me off the most.

I loved season 4 and I know we didnt get much Kanthony but WHERE IS NEWTON

#important questions

I have to say the journey from “oh I’ll reread A Thousand Cuts for the first time since 2022 (when I was very much not married) during the great AO3 blackout of 2026 (when I am very much married) since it’s the only fic on my Kindle” to absolutely bawling while finishing Chapter 26 shouldn’t have surprised me the way that it did.

What a goddamn masterpiece.

Sarah J Maas, I was not familiar with your game.

If you're not old enough to have once stored your favorite fan fiction on a floppy disk after spending an hour clogging the phone line with dial-up internet and then hiding it in your room so your parents wouldn't find out about the fact you read fanfiction, we are not the same.

I’m actually kinda fun once you get to know me (takes 3 to 4 years).

lol on your bubble comment. So real. I continue to be amazed that people who dislike the show so much continue to show up and watch every season.

Dude, same.

To be clear, I don’t think this means it’s immune to criticism, but it will never be normal to me that I feel like I have to intentionally avoid fandom in order to enjoy any new content.

I have a whole personal soapbox about how some of the in-fandom criticism of Bridgerton is rooted in the same internalized misogyny and intellectual snobbery that is often directed at other feminine-coded interests (e.g., the romance genre in general), but that is a conversation for another day.

Hope you had fun with it!
