Thank you for the tags @tanyayoung-322 and @drfuckerm-d! Finally settled down and getting to it 💖

homestuck (@starkid256, homestuck's strongest autism warrior)

homestuck will give you autism. also once you join it you never come back but thats the fun of it. also your worldbuilding skills will improve

dungeon meshi (@thesternest, curator of my dash)

dungeon meshi is one of the best manga i read lately its essentially a really good show and great depiction of how it feels like to be autistic like Laios might be higher than Asa as autism of all time

ward (@victoriadallonfan, professional wildbow shill)

The sequel to Worm, taking place two years after its ending, Ward focuses on a former hero trying to live her life in the post apocalypse Earth, all the while haunted by the demons of her traumatic past. But she’s pulled back into life of heroics by a series of suspicious coincidences and now given the chance to teach a new generation of young heroes how to protect humanity. The story focuses a great deal on mental health recovery, backsliding, and the effects PTSD not just in the life of a superhero but the survivor of traumas many people face in real life. And while the protagonist is a hero, it’s not afraid to show how toxic and potentially dangerous the mindset of being raised in a superhero society as child could have on not just the human psyche, but on human culture as well.

Ward is not for the feint of heart - in many ways far more graphic than its predecessor - but it also has allowed many readers to feel seen by openly discussing theses topics, sometimes through the use of symbolic powers and scenarios. Add in creative power applications, menacing villains, and amazing characters all around, and you have a very heart-wrenching but enjoyable journey ahead of you.

get to know your moots <3

wow it's been SO long since i last saw one of these tag things but thank u @bessmertny !! how fun!

batting it along to the moots on my recent activity too!! @cicelythereaper @witcheryen @jasprjordamn @midsummersky @catloafed @cerebralsilhouettes @doomcountry @blysse-and-blunder (feel free to ignore ofc if you're not into it)

What's the origin of your username?: from the song black out the sun by darren hayes. i was obsessed with that album when i made my tumblr uuuh like 14 years ago by now!!

OTP(s) + ship name: i'm not really an otp girlie!! i will read whatever as long a it's compelling

Favorite color: green!

Song stuck in your head: john my beloved by sufjan stevens, which is surprising because i don't usually listen to sufjan stevens (and find it a bit. whiny) but i have to admit. it's because of a conclave edit.

Weirdest habit/trait: i cannot handle people using one knife for multiple jars/spreads etc. one knife per thing not per person when having a bread meal!!

Hobbies: i have to be honest. probably just knitting. i guess reading?? i like walking/hiking but don't go nearly as often as i should!! i love to ice skate but also i haven't been in two years :( i like looking at bees :)))

If you work, what's your profession?: i'm office manager/project manager/social media manager/bible translator/theological non-fiction translator/graphic designer/paratext expert/whatever boss-priest needs me to do for an (academic) theological institute

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be?: manuscript cataloguer!! i would love to get paid to just describe manuscripts all day (this was part of my previous job (for a database project)!!)

Something you're good at: knitting [hairflip emoji]. also i'm good at being good at my job. love to make myself indispensable tbh

Something you hate: i have to agree with katie: generative AI my beloathed

Something you collect: accidentally, tiny jugs. like no bigger than a finger long, and they have to be cute!!

Something you forget: i forgor :((

What's your love language?: i hate the love languages thing but i love to do anticipate people's needs. do little things for them!!

Favorite movie/show: conclave, as anyone in the jamhouse or who has paid any attention to my tumblr lately can attest to. i watched it and then broke my like 10 year no cinema streak the next day. it feels like it was made for me in a lab. i am not a movie person and yet i have watched it 6 times in a month (4 of those in the first 10 days)

Favorite food: fruit!!! fresh figs and nectarines in particular. grapes!! also peas and green beans <3

Favorite animal: bees!! also love bears.

What were you like as a child?: anxious and soooo high-strung. i have mellowed a lot truly. youngest child (and youngest of a set of twins) and the only one who didn't get some sort of debilitating illness so automatically the "good one" that didn't need a lot of attention so of course that's a recipe for disaster!!

Favorite subject at school: hmmmm idk idk!! greek perhaps if not for the teacher!! i did like maths tbh

Least favorite subject: sports for sure

What's your best character trait?: if i start something i will finish it (if it kills me)

What's your worst character trait?: the other side of the previous coin. i am terrible at letting go

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?: hmmm i don't think i really have a favourite historical figure but perhaps one of them irish scribes or bards so that they can tell us all the forbidden (lost) knowledge

[izartn]

Look I promised the recs (to myself mostly I want to share love to these fanficcers for all they gave me) so here I go.

Fandoms of which I have only one (1) fic bookmarked. Bc tiny fandom or I just read one and left satisfied. This one is for you.

Starting easy with Unfinished fics bc they're worthy of love too.

NOTE: The fandom will be marked with NCK for no canon knowledge on the cases where I haven't read/watched a substantial or all of the canon before reading fic. I rec those fics but fair is fair and I warn my judgement is flawed on those cases. Instead of the normal usual bias of someone who reads fics of a beloved/beloathed/known canon lol

Summary: What if Li Lianhua set up the clues to lead Di Feisheng and Fang Duobing to the beach at the same time on purpose, not only to find his dead body but mainly to find each other?

He bequeathed the two men he loved to each other.

Ships: Kakyoin Noriaki & Kujo Jotaro, Kujo Holly & Kujo Jotaro, pre-slash if you want to read it that way - Relationship

Summary:

It’s almost worse, Jotaro thinks, that Kakyoin actually means it. Kakyoin really literally actually wants to go on a roadtrip vacation to tour and sightsee with the guy he tried to assassinate and who then proceeded to beat him unconscious.

What the fuck is wrong with this guy.

Jotaro Kujo’s no good, very bad road trip to hell Dio’s mansion with Evil Kakyoin.

Or, the one where Kakyoin arrives to kill Jotaro before Joseph and Avdol can arrive to explain things, confusion ensues, and Kakyoin and Jotaro make their merry way to Egypt before anyone can figure out what’s happening at all.

A Thing Of Vikings by athingofvikings (Restricted)

Fandoms: How to Train Your Dragon (Movies)

Words: 1,823,626

Tags: Mature, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Multi

Ships: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III/Astrid Hofferson Heather/Fishlegs Ingerman Ruffnut/Magnus the Good|Historical Character Camicazi/Merida

Summary: Take History. Add Dragons. Stir until a Genius makes friends with them and things explode. Take the resulting stock of Hiccup and tamed dragons and set it to simmering in 1040 AD, in the Scottish Hebrides. Add more Kings, Emperors, Romans, Vikings, Conquerors, Spies, Warriors, Thieves, Knights and Nobles, to taste. Take cover, and sit back to watch the fireworks.

In Real Life, 1040 was the tail end of the Viking Age; Europe was 50 years from the First Crusade; the Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches have not yet formally split, William the Conqueror is a frightened teenager in Normandy, the Byzantine Empire is collapsing after a revival under one of their great emperors, and the great Viking Harald Hardrada is a Varangian mercenary there, while the Caliphates are having a rough time from the new Seljuk Empire and their own internal tensions. The most corrupt Pope in history holds Rome, the Reconquista of Spain is underway after the collapse of the Caliphate of Cordoba, and the Norse religion is a pale shadow of what it once was, hanging on around the Baltic Sea, Iceland, Greenland... and the Hebrides.

And into that heady mix, there is now Hiccup and Berk.

Yeah, history won't know what hit it.

Summary: Hanako-kun, I really think I might be dead. I really, um. I’m really quite worried I might be dead! I’m starting to feel quite concerned that I really might actually be dead! But... I don’t feel dead, so – I don’t think I can be. But I think I must be! But—”

“You are,” Hanako says. “Yashiro, you are. You’re dead. You died. You’re not meant to be here.”

“—I’m just at school,” Nene urgently continues to explain. “And I don’t think I’d do that, if I was dead. I’d do something different. Something, you know. Something... special. Something to mark the occasion! Something much more poignant and meaningful. I wouldn’t just go to school like normal.”

“Can’t get much less poignant and meaningful than living in a toilet! Yashiro," says Hanako, "you're dead."

java is one of my favorites too (and my first language ^_^) i know it can be a bit ornery but its just so straightforward to me <3 i love writing stuff in java

i love html and css too! i find it really fun to try and create graphics just using them. i know javascript too, and javascript really isn't that bad but... i just don't like working in it compared to java LOL java my beloved

i want to learn rust too! i also want to learn python, c#, and c++ :) n i think its really impressive that you know PHP and actually like it... i may ask for a PHP info dump in the near feature :3c

i agree that syd is very java* core LOL i can't believe i never thought about that before!!! i can def see them writing in those languages. i bet they fix whatever computer system in the library by themselves. sydney, the backbone of the library computers i salute them

YOU'RE BACK YAYAYAY!!!!

HTML and CSS are so fun too!! i absolutely love web dev as well, it can be pretty frustrating but it's so nice to see everything come together when it does! though i struggle with anything above simple functions in JavaScript. JS my beloathed/lh

Pug and SCSS are offshoots of HTML and CSS respectively that i see a lot on Codepen that i plan on checking out because they seem really really useful and nice to use!! you should totally check em out too if you like web dev!

Python is so so fun to use, i really recommend checking it out. fun, and really damn useful! i'm a little more hesitant when it comes to learning the C languages, i do have this aversion to proprietary software and languages, but all power to you! C++ is widespread and versatile, plus a main Unity/Godot language, so i would say it'll be pretty damn useful!

i'll have to brush up on some PHP skillz but yes, absolutely, PHP infodump in the future!

oh my god absolutely. Syd is absolutely secretly a programming whiz. i mean he's absolutely read almost every book in that damn library, you telling me none of those books were programming books? he's absolutely the librarian's tech support guy, he also definitely has a NeoCities, come on. website for book reviews and maybe journaling his experiences in the Temple, he would he would. mans singlehandedly digitised the library database one morning, change my mind.

bkjg5fdx yeah! you are giving me a lot of thoughts, thank you so much for messaging me anon
