i won! time to never post anything on this ao3 account ever again
my horrible son who has committed every crime
#only lost one tapestry needle in the process which is not bad considering all the places i took him#knitting#transformers#starscream#mine#first time trying to knit a guy so i think he turned out pretty well even if he’s a little wonky in places#worst part was trying to invent 12 stitch high heeled socks for him#but i won
tried to dress up as shran star trek for halloween and got accused of being a homestuck troll 😔

wait i should teach myself amigurumi to make my World's Ugliest Megatron Plushie (he's the only plushie i own)(i won him in a claw machine)(my boss paid for it) some friends
(every day he glares at me and i think it's long past time he glared at someone else)
number of times i've talked about stuffing starscream today: normal
squishing him
transformers amigurumi is quite possibly the worst airplane craft ever, considering it takes like ten balls of yarn for one tiny little guy. and yet. time to find out how many times i can drop my knitting needles on a plane before i lose one 👍

the thing is. you can change your tumblr url to anything you want and no one can stop you.
success 👍 i am now ready to be the 30-something friend who gives life advice while also writing transformers porn
the unintentional yet powerful homoerotic vibes of 100+ year old books that didn’t yet know they had to be afraid of male friendships in case it looked gay to the viewers
#been reading some books from the turn of the century and wow they certainly look gay to the viewer now#like obviously i’m not saying there wasn’t homophobia but they’ve also got these strong manly bonds without no homoing it#the number of times the last book had men mentioning how beautiful their male friends were despite fully being a heterosexual romance novel#so many#mine
there’s a triangle stealing all of my mutuals away

posting niche fic on ao3 is like releasing a small creature into the wild and hoping it survives and finds sustenance
got one whole comment… the small creature may yet survive the winter
happy one year anniversary to this post! the fic it was originally about ended up getting TWO comments, so that small creature is out there living its best life. meanwhile i have continued to create progressively smaller and frailer creatures, and yet somehow the ecosystem thrives. fanfic commenters are out there scattering bountiful caches of food for hard times, and it is greatly appreciated
#i say 'somehow' as if i don't repeatedly sign up for exchanges partly for the increased chance of comments#still! having a good time out here with my six hit fics#but also a comment on a tiny fandom means so much more than a comment on a big fandom tbh#not that i don't appreciate every single one. i don't get that many and i love all of them#but the baldur and dunmeshi fics can hold their own#my deathloop and dredge commenters.... old sff novel commenters....... you are everything to me#mine
when a mutual starts going on about their latest beloved little guy and you simply cannot tell if it’s a hot new anime boy, a youtuber seemingly sprung fully formed from the earth with unimaginable amounts of lore, a character from an 18th century novel you’ve never heard of, or an actual real life historical ancient roman man
there’s something so oddly charming about niche community drama. somewhere out there right now there are people threatening violence over inane internet comments about things no more than a few people even understand. and i think that’s beautiful.
the problem with playing hades 2 early access is now i have to wait so long for the rest of it 😔 would’ve waited for the full release but alas. spoilers.
the other problem with playing hades 2 is seeing what they did to chaos’ design. chaos my beloved…WHAT a downgrade

the peril of reading old scifi/fantasy is i’m left trying to navigate author websites that were clearly hand coded in html 20 years ago and haven’t been updated since when i just want a nice neat list of all their books that they somehow don’t seem to have 😭
here i was at a used book sale. picked up a random book with a fun title. go to look at the summary on the back only to find out it’s book two in a trilogy. go to goodreads to see what else is in the series. 5 ratings and 0 reviews, no series information. look up the author and discover she does in fact have a website! the color scheme is black on yellow. click her bibliography link. it’s broken. fruitlessly click around the website a bit to find an alternate link. finally manually go in and try to change various things in the address bar to figure out if it’s a typo (on my phone, still in the middle of the used book sale with people all around me). eventually get in! the list on the author’s page also has no series info. compare books on the page by publication order to goodreads until i manage to find the correct ones based on having the same main characters. still do not have copies of book 1 or 3.
the book probably isn’t even going to be good! and this is only one such occurrence.
