I am a gender ambiguous person who likes media. I'll probably post about whatever comes to mind. It just so happens my mind is 55% Cosmere. They/Them pronouns work well enough, though to be honest I don't care what you use for me.

Oh hey,

Little me thing. It was exactly one year ago that I asked people to go by my current irl name (through theater shenanigans some people already used it)

A friend of mine immediately asked me if pride month was getting to me, which to be very clear: It wasn't.

Getting isekaied into a fantasy world but I die at childbirth since this one was realistic fantasy. I then get isekaied into another world where I survive birth but die at 4 from measles.

By the 14th time you end up in the modern world, but your favorite piece of media doesn't exist.

Ya know, there are a lot of potential grievances with Invincible. Overall though, I love the show. But my number one complaint is that the writers are COWARDS for not giving the female viltrumites mustaches! Like that’s their whole identifying feature and you’re telling me that the women just don’t grow mustaches!??!

I need a 3 minute scene of Anissa yelling at Thragg that she will not, under any circumstance, shave her mustache so she blend in with an inferior species.

Reckon I could pass for a koloss with the right hat?

add some platform boots and maybe some hypoxia (for the blue complexion) and I bet you could. Also, this is my first ever reblog. congratulations.

Wow it's been a long time since I posted

Anyways, keteks are neat. Also the fact that singer keteks are weighted differently than human keteks is really cool. Been thinking about them a lot. That is all!

I love scheduling posts

I'm only creative sometimes, but when I am I can think of multiple things, however by putting space between my posts I feel more productive and it probably helps me look like a normal person!

Anyways, I wrote this on January 16th 2026. Who knows if I'm still going to be active on this cursed corner of the internet by the time this post is scheduled to come out?

Not me!!! I love getting little surprises as to what I was thinking days, or even week, or months ago!

Project Hail Mary

So I finally watched it. I've been excited for it since before it was announced. PHM is one of my favorite sci-fi books. The movie did not disappoint, everything from the small details to the cinematography. But I think the part that made realize this was truly going to be a great movie was the visuals for the Spin Drives. No blue plume. No fire. Just an anti-climatic mechanical spinning. But it still looks so cool.

I normally talk about Stormlight...

But I do enjoy other media, and other parts of the cosmere. Specifically, I quite like Mistborn Era 2.

Mistborn era 2, the book series about the mildly sad hand of God who is probably one of the best gunslingers in all of fiction. And his best friend/adoptive son/weird brother who puts frogs in boots and will beat you to death with a cane.

Of course you can't forget the autism and anxiety combo deal who will plan out literally everything in extreme degrees, and almost certainly has a sub contingency for a hurricane during a nuclear war that happens to cause an ammo factory to explode sending a single .45 long colt round hurtling into the atmosphere, landing next to Wax and mildly startling him while in a gunfight on the top of a train.

I love everyone in this series and I could spend hours yapping about them. But I won't.

Murderbot (show) posting.

I want at some point there to be a sex scene between two human characters (any two is fine, I don’t have the books with me right now so I’m not sure who works best), with a whole romance arc building up to it but SecUnit just breaks the fourth wall and says “you probably don’t want to see that” and fast forwards through its own show to get back to whatever shenanigan it is up to at that time.

[vitays]

3 whole posts since I did a cosmere thing?

Crazy. Strange. Queer and incredible.

Anyways, I have been hard at work thinking about how cool it would be if some of the dead shardblades came in the form of axes, hammers, and polearms. Like I understand that they're all swords on a meta level to justify the lighteyed obsession with swords, and are all swords in universe because they were locked into their ceremonial forms... but still. Where is my stuck up lighteyes wearing the corpses of spren, wielding the corpse of a sentient spren in the form of a giant fuck off warhammer.

All this thinking just to say: I have an unhealthy obsession with historical crow's beak warhammers

‘Tis the Ides

Apparently they’re pretty big here on Tumblr, and it shall be my first time in these festivities. But I’m here now and that’s what counts.

[vitays]

Someone somewhere on the internet said anti-AI people are fighting a war. I tend to agree.

May my bones remain in some god-awful field

May my muscle feed the apple trees

May my skin be eaten by worm and rat alike

But may my hands and mind never stray from a golden path

Let my soul be laid to bare, and when your eyes see into it, let them see my sin and virtue

I lack talent in many fields, but unlike those who have strayed (and I pray they recover soon) I have a dedication most proud

To stay Human forevermore, and to create something that outlives me

Ars Aeternus, Humani Aeternus

So somehow I ended up with AO3 on my home page

So like, every few weeks I just get a bunch of posts about AO3 being down. Which is very funny to see.

Which is especially funny, because genuinely every single time I think maybe I should start reading/writing fan fic I open AO3 and it's down. I've been on tumblr for less than half a year, so it's not like I check AO3 whenever I see it's down. This has been going on for years.

Well I did this for Stormlight...

Mistborn characters (era 1 and 2 because I like Wayne) react to the movie:

Kelsier: "Think about it, we'd look wonderful up here on this 'silver screen'. And look at the flowers, Mare would have loved it here."

Dockson: "A mere distraction by the nobles of this world..."

Hammond: "Lord Ruler! Look they have libraries, with a whole section for philosophy!"

Rannette (after being handed a gun): ""The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. The slide's been reinforced. And the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision. The frame is lighter than any wood I know, and it's no metal... glass-impregnated polymer you say? Fascinating! The tooling that goes into this must be incredible. Though, there are some flaws with the internals..." (this goes on for 16.3 hours)

TenSoon: "There's an entire profession for people who pretend to be other people... for entertainment?"

The Director (to TenSoon): "Please put Charlie Chaplain's bones back where you found them."

Vin: "Will I have to play myself in this, can I play myself?"

Elend: "Oh no, I'm not cut out to be an actor. I'm a king!"

Tyndwil: "Barely a king, but I'll make an actor out of you or you'll die trying! Raise your chest, you're walking too much like yourself, you may be playing yourself but you're playing a caricature of yourself, make yourself look good!"

Wax: "Put that back Wayne."

Wayne: "No. I traded for it fair and square."

Wax: "That is a 36,000 dollar camera lense you're wearing as a hat. And you 'traded' for it with a dead pigeon."

Spook: "Wasing walking to the hotel, these cities are even louder then Luthadel!"

Sazed: "So this... Wikipedia contains a summary of all information and references to where it came from... and this ChatGPT looks to corrupt and ruin said information for nefarious gain?"

Steris: "I've read every single piece of disaster relief planning for hurricanes in the Southern United States, and have identified 462 flaws in the planning. I took last evening off to correct them. Here, plus contingencies for protentional meteoric impacts, volcanic activity, tornadoes, gravitational inversion and a Costco hotdog price increase."

sci-fi posting

I find it really funny how often people put swords in sci-fi. Like it’s really really cool, but can we have other anachronistic weapons?

where are my morally grey space mercenaries who carry phased plasma rifles and partisan spears?

where is the super soldier with a railgun and a proper crow’s beak warhammer? (not those sledgehammers that fantasy and sci-fi keep trying to pass off as warhammers those are mauls)

meteor hammers wielded by orbital drop troops is just obvious.

Yes I have been adding more melee weapons to my sci-fi setting. How could you tell?

And then the Cosmere fandom active on Tumblr realized it. The Singularity was their Tien.

[vitays]

The singularity calls for me...

You're telling me a ten fooled this?
