Writer, seamstres, cosplayer, and all around nerd. Same name on FF.net and Ao3. All my fics from here (plus more) are also posted there. Ride or die Targaryen in direct defiance of what the writers are doing.

A note for my fanfic readers (if you’re out there)

Hi, not sure how many people who read my fics follow my tumblr but Ao3 doesn’t really have a good way of putting out a mass update, so I’m putting it here.

For the readers of my current multichap fanfics, which include Gifted Kids, Through Your Teeth, and Truth Be Told, I know that it’s been a couple months since I posted knew chapters. But I want to make sure everyone knows, NONE OF THESE FANFICS ARE ABANDONED!!!

I am still working on all of them. However, there has been real life stuff going on in the past few months that has drained my energy and made it difficult for me to focus on my writing. I’ll be able to get down a few more sentences one night, or manage a couple paragraphs, but overall progress has been slow.

Basically, I’ve just been in a writing slump.

However! The good news is, some of the real life stuff (leaving my old job and starting a new one) does have a set end date! Hopefully when I am fully transitioned out of my old job, some of my stress will be alleviated and I’ll be able to focus when I’m writing again!

If you do have questions about my fics, or just want to talk fandom in general, feel free to send an ask and I’ll get back to you whenever I can.

I look forward to continuing these stories and still think about them everyday. So if you’re a fan and you think these fics have been abandoned, just sit tight! Hopefully they’ll be more updates soon!

no more "steve rogers doesn't know modern technology." embrace "steve rogers has no fucking clue what's a realistic timeline for technological advancement is." this guy used a telegraph one day and a hologram the next. his first introduction to the present was tony stark. he's never lived in a world with an ethernet cable. he doesn't know what the fuck an ipod nano is. if you showed him something supposed to be a groundbreaking impressive invention he'd just be like "oh neat. regular future stuff. okay." steve rogers with the tech awareness of a gen alpha kid. if you showed him a cd rack he'd have to think about it.

Reminder that Steve Rogers saw a flying car in the 1940s and DID NOT CARE. Bucky Barnes is the nerd in that relationship. Bucky would ask inventors twenty million questions about new tech. Steve would just accept it.

NERD BUCKY IS CANON. people seem to forget that this is the same man who ordered the hobbit because it wasn't available in America when it first came out. Of course he'd nerd out over new tech. Show that man one episode of star wars and I can assure you he's hooked for a couple hours.

working in landlord/tenant law, the one thing that has genuinely surprised me is how many landlords straight up do not follow housing regulations in a variety of ways (I've seen people charging first and last month's rent which is illegal where I am, not posting required notices, not registering the unit, etc.) and all of these things are affirmative defenses if they ever try to evict you for any reason. but how would the average person know that.

anyway I very strongly urge you to look into the basics of housing regulations in your city and state (many times cities have more strict laws than the state, for instance LA where I live has quite a few explicitly pro-tenant ordinances that are not applicable to the rest of CA) just to inform yourself and to be aware of this stuff. if you need help lmk

Trump basically declared disabled people ‘unfit to work’ as he put it by revoking the Equal Employment Opportunity Law of 1965. It means employers no longer have to legally give accommodations to disabled employees. This will render so many Americans jobless and barely anyone is talking about it because disabled people like me are treated as expendable.

Please don’t comply in advance. Trump cannot revoke the Equal Employment Opportunity Act because it is a law passed by Congress. Executive orders are issued in accordance with laws already passed and must follow the U.S. Constitution. While they are enforced with the same power as a law, executive orders are not new laws, and as such can be challenged by the courts to assess whether they are legal and constitutional or not.

It is true that Trump revoked several executive orders that were issued to strengthen or expand the Equal Employment Opportunity Act. Whether or not these EOs will be enforceable long term remains to be seen.

However, it is blatantly untrue that employers no longer legally have to give accommodations to disabled employees. Trump’s EO does not affect equal employment requirements and protections for persons with disabilities. Many protections for persons with disabilities are established by law, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Randolph-Sheppard Act. [Source]

Specifically, Title 1 of the ADA requires employers with 15 or more employees make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities. This has not changed. Trump cannot change anything about the ADA with an EO. Trump is attempting to dismantle the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which will likely have impacts on disabled employees. Its mission is to eliminate unlawful discrimination in the workplace, and to investigate alleged instances of discrimination, which will no doubt be impeded by Trump’s anti-DEIA mission.

But the ADA and all other disability related legislation are still in effect. You still have a right to reasonable accommodations and a discrimination-free workplace. Trump may try to impede that right, but not even he has the single-handed power to revoke it.

Hearing the whole “Americans didn’t beat the nazis” thing is so exhausting and counterproductive. Spoiler alert: America isn’t the only country affected by Trump, so this could apply to literally any allies in WW2 (which is more than you think, lots of countries fought alongside Britain and we’re eternally indebted to them). Also even if America failed to rid the world of Nazis in the past until like the last moment where they joined the allies, then surely now is simply an opportunity for them to do it earlier?

History is there to learn from, not to replicate in its entirety. Beat them back earlier this time, America. The rest of the world believes in you.

my family wasn't this strict, but in some sects of buddhism you're not allowed to eat the "five pungent vegetables", onions garlic shallots leeks and umm chives i think, really any of those kind of vegetables. probably some monk ages ago was tired of onion farts stinking up the temple. anyways, one time my brother made a soup using all five of them. he said, "one sip of this, and you'll be reincarnated as a flea."
