Did I already finish grad school at a Big Ten research university? Yes. Am I considering doing some of the free online courses at Harvard anyway? Yes. Why? I’m a nerd.

Also, I appreciate and want to encourage acts of resistance that aim to change the nightmarish landscape of American politics.

This is why I check bookmarks like I do comments. ❤️

(I’m still TERRIBLE at replying but please know that comments are my life. I read every one and cherish them, then flub how to express that because “thank you for reading!” sounds disingenuous/customer-service and not enough to express my thanks).

Hah! So far people seem to enjoy Vander and Silco on a date, planning crime while flirting like the 19 year old idiots they are.

I’m determined to earn my dramatic irony tag, because WE know how this ends so making it sweet right now makes the pain of that worse.

Thank you for reading!

I don’t do April Fool’s Day, so I’m putting this back into the world instead!



"At 9AM on a random morning in April an alarm peals out on Dazai’s phone.

And it will continue to, until he finds out why he is living this same unremarkable day again and again."

The fact that I had to put down my mid-afternoon coffee to scroll and find mine.

(I’ve almost made it through this week.)

If your Senator is on this list/in the Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation, you need to start calling ASAP about the infringement this would be on our first amendment right.

Earning my Graphic Violence warning in this newest chapter of my ZaunDads prequel as we start seeing the origins of a hound and a baron. Still deciding if I’m changing the rating on it to E (particularly since I’m basically writing this for myself).

You can now search a specific user’s posts easily. That’s how I found this buried thread again, and if you ever want to ‘tap the sign’ it will be useful for you as well. Click the three dots on a profile and choose “Search Posts.”

My answer to an anon on FFWF—I think Felicia was significantly younger than Vander and Silco. She was their Isha, a little sister partially raised by them, and I think the timeline supports it and it helps further the narrative cycles Arcane builds. www.tumblr.com/tophat-69/77...

A website was just set up for people to snitch to, this time about whether or not teachers are… *checks notes* …mentioning minorities, marginalized communities, and LGBTQIA+ folks in the course of teaching.

Because inclusivity is discrimination against cishetwhitefolk, you know.

Sometimes I get comments on old fics and have to reread what they’re responding to.

But THIS I remember very well. And I cackled, the same way I cackled my way through an explosion of comments when this chapter dropped years ago.

So yes I’m still enjoying tormenting people through c/c.

Jinx - a person or thing that brings bad luck.

Albatross - traditionally a symbol of bad luck, a source of frustration or guilt.

The Albatross, by Taylor Swift - Warnings about a terrible, unlucky, destructive woman. She embraces it.

Anyway, listening to The Albatross and thinking Timebomb stuff.

I’m going to point at the tiny angry ginger in my profile pic, who’s named for a famous Japanese poet. Nakahara Chuuya. (If you get into the show, given your other ships, I am betting he will be half of your ship for this show).

When I don’t speak the language of the comment but understand the sentiment PERFECTLY regardless.

(Because I know how I ended that chapter and it’s exactly the sentiment I was going for. I am a shameless slanderer of Piltover.)

Honestly this one was a joy to write because it came together so smoothly!

Even though it was not what I originally intended (I was going to try comedy. Me. The person who ought to just get an “angst with a happy ending” tattooed on my forehead) it tied together so neatly.

Posting this here, too, because I’m not sure what platform we’re on together!

Genuinely, though, thank you. And I’m sorry I’m a rambling mess.

First, thank you so much! I’m honored that you enjoy my stories. But I don’t want you to feel bad—I’m still doing what I enjoy, even when posting anonymously. And it’s not a bad thing that I recognize there are better writers and ones who connect better with people. It’s awesome for the fandom!

Either you’re the third person to basically ask similar questions in the past couple of weeks since I last checked this page, or you’ve become very abrasively peeved by my having other interests too and are spamming. Please feel free to unfollow.
