A Linux laptop with a Windows virtual machine on a second monitor goes the hardest when it comes to setups, and you can't change my mind.

welcome to my blog! 👋
my name is lex! I'm 21 and my pronouns are he/him.
this is my sideblog for all my selfshipping endeavours! I'm a huge selfshipper and it's something that's very personal to me.
if you were looking for my main blog, you can find it over at @lexintothenex!
my number one beloved is tintin from the adventures of tintin. I've been in love with him since 15/04/24. he's incredibly dear to me. 🩵
secondary f/os of mine include:
vault boy from the fallout franchise,
and spirou from spirou & fantasio!
I'm nonsharing with all of my f/os - HEAVILY so with tintin, sorry! current mutuals are the only exception.
I also have a strawpage if you'd ever like to send me something or ask me any questions! I'm generally more active over on twitter, so that's where they'll be posted. of course you are also always free to just send me asks on here!

So, what if Tav had known Gale before…
“Talk? -G.D” Far too few words for Gale, she thought as she turned the paper in her hand, half expecting the back to be filled with the actual letter. This wasn’t like him at all, but then again, who was she to judge? It had been years since they had last spoken and even then she had gotten it all wrong. She knew the Gale before Mystra, the one who was all hers - not this one. He held back - at lest that’s what she assumed - each spell was simple, without flourish, and she had never seen him struggle to maintain his concentration before.
Besides, much had changed since the night he had confessed what he had done. She was used to the glances others shot her partner - the Gale Of Waterdeep - and the way he gracefully ignored them, she could live with that. Those people were real, human - not the goddess of magic herself. Three years filled with laughter and love gone within the blink of an eye. Gale had returned to Mystra and his studies, while she left the city behind and joined a druids circle far from any Academy-Trained magic users. It was peace and quiet and she had loved it. Now she stood on the shores of the Sword Coast with the great misfortune of having to rely on the one person she never wanted to see again.
She turned the letter again. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t at least curious - curiosity had gotten her into Blackstaff after all - but there was also the familiar need to just run away and that had ended her studies, too… she tried to think of nothing as she snuck away from the rest of her companions, an endeavour that she abandoned the moment she set eyes os on Gale, sitting by the water. The moonlight made him look younger, somehow that had also been what she first noticed about him as he had tumbled out of that portal, his age - older, beyond his years. The silver in his hair seemed to shine in the moonlight, a thin layer of dirt coated his skin, a cut beneath his chocolate brown eye, a bruised wrist he massaged nervously. And there it was that major difference - Gale Of Waterdeep was never nervous. But according to him, that wasn’t even who was asking to speak with her.
“Gale Dekarios,” she whispered as she drank in this other, rawer version of the man she once loved.

im at my wits end if anyone has a bit more comfortability with linux and specifically with nvidia drivers i would really like some help. details of my dilemma under the cut
so i built this pc, i don't think most of the hardware specs really matter but the problem is that the GPU is a PNY/NVIDIA quadro k6000. it's a much older one, and the consensus online seems to be that it's just a piece of garbage [which i am. inclined to agree with at this point. it seemed good at the time bc i was having a tough time justifying the cost of a PC to begin with and it had the most processing power of anything in budget. whatever. ill do more research next time but i certainly cannot afford to swap it out now]
it uses older drivers, 470xx, which i cannot get to work on linux (specifically, i've tried endeavour and manjaro so far.)
endeavour installs with generic drivers by default. manjaro Has an option to install with proprietary drivers, but if i try that, the installer just hangs forever. i think it might be because the drivers are old enough that they aren't bundled in, and it can't connect to the internet to pull down alternative drivers so early on in the install.
installing drivers manually after installing the OS itself seems to be the thing to do, except that when i do, the OS loses the ability to see any information about the monitor. in practice, this means that it gets stuck at a completely absurd tiny resolution (i think it's like. 600x300. not usable at all) and will not respond to any attempts to set the resolution manually. the only way to fix this is to uninstall all of the NVIDIA drivers and then im back where i started. ive tried so many things i can't even remember them all to list them but suffice to say nothing's worked so far. i have the same exact issue on both endeavour and manjaro.
i really like the convenience of aur so i don't really want to go to a non arch-based distro but i will if i have to because it is driving me insane that i spent so much money on this thing and it refuses to play any of the games that i was hoping to play on it. i also don't have a lot of confidence that distro hopping will even do anything since i did already try once and manjaro is supposed to work super well with NVIDIA. and it just doesn't.

My Linux Journey
This was originally supposed to be a post on learning Linux but I got to rambling so enjoy my story about my journey with Linux. Expect a post on that topic at a later date.
~The early days~
I think my introduction to Linux was honestly quite smooth. See I'm poor and am not inclined to sail the seven seas when I can get by on a free option. And as I looked for free software I started to pick up that the safe ones were always "open source" and seemed to always support, sometimes primarily, Linux. Eventually my curiosity was piqued and I decided to look into it. I was confused by a lot of things, but I was setting up a Minecraft server for my friends and saw people recommend Linux, specifically Debian, for the job. So after unsuccessfully installing it once (I don't know how I think I got scared about formatting the drive) and not understanding how formatting works and deleting the operating system by writing it over with 0's (I keep adding comments but seriously where did I get the impression I had to do that?) and reinstalling I got it set up, downloaded everything I needed, and got it working in a few days. This taught me a lot. The command line, which I wasn't unfamiliar with but rarely used, was my new best friend, or rather only friend. I learned how to do updates, navigate the file structure, download software, and use Nano because, well, I had to. But most importantly, I like how clean everything was compared to Windows (subtle foreshadowing), and I wanted more.
~Adoption~
I was building my computer and really wanted to make the jump to Linux, so I researched and landed on Kubuntu. I installed it, smoothly this time, got some software, got confused by Snaps, opened Blender and- green bar. I had a new AMD graphics card, so driver issues weren't unexpected, but it deterred me enough to just install Windows instead. I did decide though to try on my laptop since it was older and mostly used for web-surfing. I installed Pop! OS because I thought the tiling was cool (more subtle foreshadowing) and... It worked great! I quickly got used to the nice GUI elements it provided and my prior knowledge of the terminal made it easy enough to fix odd issues that came up. However, and I'm sure everyone who knows anything about Linux sees this one coming
~Distro Hopping~
I'll save you most of the details but I think it went like this
Pop! OS, got mad at Gnome, switched to Manjaro with KDE (Which will be my DE of choice for the rest of this), wanted Arch but wasn't comfortable enough with the command line yet.
Broke something, switched to Debian, liked it on server thought I might like it on my laptop.
Wanted newer software, switched to OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
I used OpenSuse Tumbleweed for I think a year straight. It's just that good, but I can't leave good enough alone so
Alpine Linux, because I thought it was cool. Actually planning on moving back to it once I'm done needing my laptop to always be working because it meets that "clean" criteria like no other in my brain (See I told you it was foreshadowing).
And right now Endeavour OS, because I wanted something with good documentation and didn't feel like setting up Arch.
Oh and I use i3 now, to finish off the foreshadowing.
There were a bunch of short lived ones throughout that, but those are the memorable ones. Also I installed Fedora on the computer I built a few months back and now use it over Windows whenever I can.
~Where I am Now~
If it isn't obvious, I'm sucked in. I've almost built Linux From Scratch, three times, installed Gentoo a few times, and even tried expanding my horizons further with FreeBSD, which I love but the software support isn't great for my needs. Linux is natural to me and I even have my own bits of obscure knowledge on fixes for odd issues with my hardware. I have weird opinions about init systems (Weird because I don't actually care much, I just like OpenRC more than SystemD because it's simple). Windows feels slow to use, and not for hardware reasons it just takes me twice as long to do anything. I really love tiling window managers like I don't understand how I lived without them. I primarily use open source software when I can but flatpaks and web applications fill in the gaps nicely.
~Closing Notes~
I love Linux, probably a bit too much, but it's just a fun time. It works well for me and I've spent enough time in the ecosystem that it's what I'm used to. I see a lot of new Linux users on here so if you're new, welcome! Don't let the often toxic community (at least on Reddit, I don't know about here) get to you. My absolute favorite part of Linux is that you get to have choices. Make use of that, find what you like, and don't be afraid to reinstall Arch for the 10 millionth time. There's a lot to learn, and maybe my story will be of some help. To those more experienced than me, how the fuck do you understand chmod
:q!

WHO IS LUCIFER?
“Lucifer,” is the pale morning-star, the precursor of the full blaze of the noon-day sun—the “Eosphoros” of the Greeks. It shines timidly at dawn to gather forces and dazzle the eye after sunset as its own brother ‘Hesperos’—the radiant evening star, or the planet Venus. No fitter symbol exists for the proposed work—that of throwing a ray of truth on everything hidden by the darkness of prejudice, by social or religious misconceptions; especially by that idiotic routine in life, which, once that a certain action, a thing, a name, has been branded by slanderous inventions, however unjust, makes respectable people, so called, turn away shiveringly, refusing to even look at it from any other aspect than the one sanctioned by public opinion. Such an endeavour then, to force the weak-hearted to look truth straight in the face, is helped most efficaciously by a title belonging to the category of branded names.
[…]
So deeply rooted, indeed, is this preconception and aversion to the name of Lucifer—meaning no worse than “light-bringer” (from lux, lucis, “light,” and ferre “to bring”).
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
QUEM É LÚCIFER?
“Lúcifer” é a pálida estrela da manhã, a precursora do brilho total do sol do meio-dia — o “Eosphoros” dos gregos. Ela brilha timidamente ao amanhecer para reunir forças e deslumbrar os olhos após o pôr do sol como seu próprio irmão ‘Hesperos’ — a radiante estrela da noite, ou o planeta Vênus. Não existe símbolo mais adequado para o trabalho proposto — o de lançar um raio de verdade sobre tudo o que está oculto pelas trevas do preconceito, pelos equívocos sociais ou religiosos; especialmente por aquela rotina idiota da vida, que, uma vez que uma determinada ação, uma coisa, um nome, tenha sido marcado por invenções caluniosas, por mais injustas que sejam, faz com que as pessoas respeitáveis, assim chamadas, se afastem, tremendo, recusando-se até mesmo a olhar para isso de qualquer outro aspecto que não aquele sancionado pela opinião pública. Tal esforço, portanto, de forçar os fracos de coração a encarar a verdade de frente, é ajudado de forma mais eficaz por um título pertencente à categoria de nomes marcados.
[…]
Tão profundamente enraizado, de fato, é esse preconceito e aversão ao nome de Lúcifer – que significa nada pior do que “portador da luz” (de lux, lucis, “luz” e ferre, “levar”).

Sambandham: War of Hearts
I am FINALLY back with a new story on VanMozhi, which is something on them at least. It is a modern story, and is pretty angsty, to be very honest. However, it is a happy ending, and I hope you all enjoy this story as much as you have enjoyed my previous ones.
I hope to have a Prologue up in a day or two! For now, please check out these aesthetics, and let me know your thoughts!


These are our leads, Kshithija Velan and Arun Vishvanathan, the ones whose POVs will be fully featured. There are deuteragonists whose storyline will add to the main leads, but their books will not come out till I am fully done with this one. However, if you all are interested in their stories, I will endeavour to write OS' on them, though these OS' will not come till April at least.
Please let me know your thoughts, I would love feedback!

an old fashioned blog post
I hope everyone in SEQ will be alright... I am thinking of one of my readers once upon a time who was from Brisbane which is where the cyclone is making landfall!
I am away with only my laptop at the moment which has increased its bluescreens of death and it seems like even with Libre Office backing up every minute I have still ended up losing writing. It was "only" my original fiction, not fanfic, and only a few minor edits lost, so not as huge a deal as when I once had to rewrite a quarter of an entire chapter (but I did it fairly speedily from memory and I was quite proud of myself) which for Skimming Eye sits around 2,000-2,500 words.
But of course I am leaving out the fact that there is an old desktop here I might try unearthing since it may well be more stable than this newfangled machine. It is a project to occupy myself.
I mentioned Libre Office because I am making the move from Word. Firstly because I am logged out and secondly because I am thinking of switching over to Linux in the near future since I am tired of Windows being stupid*. Apparently it also runs Sims 2 better; one day it will be considered stupid and girlish to use Linux I sure hope (ha). Yes I'm familiar with distros and I know things. I find openSUSE attractive because it has a distro called Tumbleweed - I herd u like Tumblr so I put Tumblr in your OS so you can Tumble whilst you Tumble etc. For the purposes of anybody trying to computersplain, I am probably not going to use openSUSE.
*If I have to use third party programs and registry edits to fix this dump then it isn't good is it. All I play are old games that hardly run on Windows anyway!
I finished True Grit recently - the novella - and it was painfully good. Genius, swift prose. Maybe one of my favourite protagonists ever. Proof that men can write girls plenty easily. Interesting reading that some of the reception to it and Charles Portis' writing is that because he can be comic (especially deadpan) his work is considered "less serious" in the canon. Silly.
I am quite sly on my blog about original fiction and ironically they are projects which feel less serious and more freeing than fanfiction. Fanfiction by nature has limitations imposed upon it. These are powerful limitations. Limitation and necessity is the mother of invention etc. and this in some way can make fic feel both easier and harder to write. I'm especially glad that the discourse has finally caught up and accepted that original fiction and fanfiction are separate disciplines but honestly they had to learn the hard way (the way it always is). Once upon a time you'd be drawn and quartered in the public square for such an opinion. But you will note that original fiction suffers when you apply fanfiction practices to it. I especially hate the false intimacy of it. In fandom, you are close to each other by proximity. There are fewer hierarchies. When you publish a work, I am not your fellow fan or a friend. The comfort that one enjoys in fandom - or ought to enjoy, certainly in feminine-dominated ends - is not the comfort extended to professionally published authors who are profiting off the endeavour and contributing to a body of literary canon for which we are all participants and critics.
Of course the reductionist will say, Vergil and Dante wrote fanfiction! Which is blatantly untrue. You are comparing separate practices of copyright cultures as opposed to actual literary traditions. And make no mistake: fanfiction is a literary tradition - that theoretically should be the most free and experimental - but it has its mores and its craft.
Obviously I have been slow going with updates. This is because I have things wrong with me and I had a tantrum. If people are mean to me I am not going to update. I do not intend to hold my work hostage and to my polite and lovely readers I do admire you and am very grateful for you, more than you could possibly know, and I understand this is bait for trolls but I also don't care anymore. Nothing I have tried has worked. I am sensitive and delicate. So be it. I am not putting out updates if an individual chucks a tantie in my inbox, simple as. I am the only one allowed to have tantrums. This is a dictatorship.
That being said now I am finally being honest I will say that the past year I have been preoccupied with a story I intend to post in full - no updates! - to circumvent how much I have grown to loathe that process. Similarly for Skimming Eye I will do my very best to prepare the last two chapters at the same time (the length of four, good grief) and the epilogue to finally be rid of this beast. Which leaves the elephant in the room - The Rusted Knight and the Fall Maiden - who needs to be dealt with. The work has been sitting complete for a year but admittedly this other story has advanced a lot of the ideas I wanted to explore better. I'm still of half a mind about uploading the the last couple of updates. Tonally, I think my skills have improved in juggling those fairytale aspects working with absurd tragedy that R/WBY does in its odd way. I also think Jaune's POV made it needlessly diffcult. You will see what I mean. I leant too much into V9 trying to reconcile aspects of it I admittedly disliked and simply I think any story with Cinder in it evades that narrative discordance they slipped into that volume. It's the same reason everything was good when Ruby was alone or having visions of Summer and Raven. I wish I could watch V8 for the first time again.
I have never been this straightforward about my work but I am past the point of being secretive, I think... I have been through a lot the past few days that have made me reconsider how much I try to tightly police myself around people in my everyday life so they don't cotton onto the fact I am eccentric or get mad at me and hurt me. And I have realised that honestly I have failed. They still get mad at me and hurt me. The fact that fandom reminds me so much of dealing with abuse is honestly so funny.
I also have a post about Midsommar I am considering sharing. I'm not sure that I want to as it is such a controversial film, but I love stories which facilitate multiple readings - it is so unique in that aspect in that it does not evade ambiguity but celebrates multiple levels of meaning.
I have not given dates for updating because I hate dates. And since I'm still away for a fortnight it will be a while until I'm in a position to prepare posting anything to AO3 as that is my last editing process - I will have Firefox and my word processing document side by side with the prepared HTML code as I do a last final read through and make sure everything is nicely formatted. I'll do that a few times.
I have no idea why anybody would read my stories. That is of course frankly absurd. I don't want to think about it too hard. In some ways people being kind to me is a lot harder than people being mean. I am barely fit for living. I just don't know how to say thank you enough, and I don't deserve it, and I feel so pathetic because it feels so rare and precious and people don't understand how much that means to me - there's this part of me that bruises at the fact most normal people give and receive that type of admiration or affection all the time, and to me it is like water in the desert.
Well, to end this happily I have so many original fiction projects I'm in an embarrassment of riches. I have stories that will take me years to get through so I am ordering them in priority and in terms of research scale that will be necessary to undertake. I think it's extremely valuable to have a writerly identity that exists separately from fandom. So I suppose that is an update. I am very trying.

Ch-36 ~Old rivalry, new friendship~
Anaya quickly recognized the familiar voice. Zoya Nazyalensky swept through the crowd, her black hair shining in the sunlight and her deep blue eyes fierce as always.
“I speak for the Etherealki,” she spoke. “And we will follow the Sun Summoner.”
Anaya was surprised to hear her words
“Not all of us,” Marie piped up weakly.
Zoya gave a disdainful laugh. “Yes, we know you support Sergei in all his endeavours, Marie. But this isn’t a late-night tryst by the banya. We’re talking about the future of the Grisha and all of Ravka.”
Snickers greeted Zoya’s pronouncement, and Marie turned bright red.
“That’s enough, Zoya,” snapped Sergei.
An inferni stepped forward. “Marie is right,” he spoke. “You don’t speak for all of us, Zoya. I’d prefer to see an Etherealnik at the head of the Second Army, but it shouldn’t be her.” He pointed a finger at Alina. “She wasn’t even raised here.”
“That’s right!” called out a Corporalnik. “She’s been a Grisha less than a year!”
“Grisha are born, not made,” growled Tolya, finally coming out of his shell
“And who are you?” asked Sergei, his natural arrogance showing through.
Tolya’s hand went to his curved sword. “I am Tolya Yul- Baatar. I was raised far from this corpse of a palace, and I’d be happy to prove that I can stop your heart.”
“You’re Grisha?” Sergei asked incredulously.
“As much as you are,” replied Tamar, her gold eyes flashing.
“And what about you?” Sergei asked Mal.
“I’m just a soldier,” Mal replied, moving to stand beside Alina. “Her soldier.”
“As are we all,” added Fedyor. “We returned to Os Alta to serve the Sun Summoner, not some posturing boy.”
Another Corporalnik got to his feet. “You’re just one more coward who fled when the Darkling fell. You have no right to come here and insult us.”
“And what about her?” cried another Squaller. “How do we know she isn’t working with the Darkling? She helped him destroy Novokribirsk.”
“And she shared his bed!” shouted another.
“Just what is your relationship with Nikolai Lantsov?” demanded a Fabrikator.
“What was your relationship with the Darkling?” came a shrill voice.
“Does it matter?” Alina asked coolly, the growing tension in her demeanour was clearly visible
“Of course it does,” said Sergei. “How can we be sure of your loyalty?”
“You have no right to question her!” shouted one of the Summoners.
“Why?” retorted a Healer. “Because she’s a living Saint?”
“Put her in a chapel where she belongs!” someone yelled.
“Get her and her rabble out of the Little Palace.”
Tolya reached for his sword. Tamar and Sergei both raised their hands. Marie drew her flint and several squaller winds could be felt all around. Anger crept up Anaya until she could no longer contain it
"Enough of this!" her sudden voice echoed throughout the hall, making everyone go silent. "She might be inexperienced and she has only been a Grisha for less than a year but she has been the only one with enough courage to face the Darkling. She did what none of us could, she tried to stand for what was right. I saw it!" She continued. "She attempted to help me escape even though I was nothing more than another Grisha who stood by when that man massacred an entire town. And yes, she might not be the best choice, but she's our only proper choice" her voice boomed through the hall.
Everyone looked at her in awe, surprised by what she'd said. It was the first she'd spoken with such intensity and the first time she'd spoken in this argument at all.
"How do you even know she's truly doing it out of the kindness of her heart? What if she's planning an insurgence with the Darkling and will be sure to feed him our plans?" a Corporalnik beamed with contempt
Anaya narrowed her eyebrows, her eyes brimming with rage. She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything a resounding crack shook the room. She looked at the ceiling above her with utter shock. The Grisha screamed and backed away, crowding against the walls. Daylight poured in through a jagged fissure above them. Alina had split the golden dome open like a giant egg.
A deep silence followed as every Grisha turned to Alina in terrified disbelief.
“You think the Darkling is powerful?” she asked with an icy clarity in her voice. “You have no idea what he is capable of. Only I have seen what he can do. Only I have faced him and lived to tell about it. I don’t care if you think I’m a Saint or a fool or the Darkling’s whore. If you want to remain at the Little Palace, you will follow me. And if you don’t like it, you will be gone by tonight, or I will have you in chains. I am a soldier. I am the Sun Summoner. And I’m the only chance you have.”
She strode across the room and threw open the doors to the Darkling’s chambers.
Anaya still had a stunned look plastered over her face. She knew that the girl wasn't foolish but she'd never anticipated her to do something like that. She then noticed Zoya hurrying out of the hall, and followed her without giving it a second thought.
..................................................................................................
Anaya noticed Zoya sitting by herself near the banya. She took a deep breath and went nearer with steady steps.
"May I join?" Anaya asked in a soft voice
Zoya turned to look at her, "Sure" she responded, her voice unusually calm
Anaya sat on the wooden bench near her. Silence stirred in the environment until Anaya spoke, "I couldn't believe you stood with Alina" she said
"I could say the same for you" she responded
"Well, back on the fold, I saw what she truly wanted. She even attempted to stop him"
"I knew the girl was capable of more, but I did not anticipate that" a hint of surprise was reflected in Zoya's words
"Yeah, me neither. You should've seen Sergei's face, he appeared as if his eyeballs were going to fall to the ground" Anaya gave a slight grin
"I did, he looked like he was going to bury himself in the ground"
A short moment of silence followed. "I saw it, her name" Anaya spoke in voice no more than a soft whisper
Zoya turned her head to meet her gaze, "I know, I went there, to Novokribirsk" she spoke, her voice growing somber. "She saved a boy's life, but couldn't do the same for her own" she looked down at her shoes
Anaya let out a small sigh, "It's maddening how people once standing by your side, can turn against you in such a haste"
"Do you really believe we can defeat him?" Zoya spoke after a shot pause
"I don't know, but I like the idea of trying, better than sitting idle and waiting for our demise. Besides, he has done too much to be forgiven anymore" she closed her eyes, remembering all that man had taken from her
"What did he do to you?"
"Doesn't matter. What matters is how we're going to pay him back"
"Yeah"
Both of them sat in silence until Anaya broke it, "Anyways, do you know how I basically split the true sea in half and saved everyone?" she spoke with great enthusiasm
"Really? I don't believe that" Zoya raised an eyebrow
"It's true! You can ask Rabeah or Alina or whoever. I was drowning and then suddenly I swas floating upwards and I raised the waters and the sea split in half and I froze the water beneath my feet and I was literally standing on the centre" she continued, wavering her arms
"Really? that's unbelieve Nasarzareen"
"Nasrazeen!" Anaya responded with exasperation

Okay I have reviewed the data and I can conclude that while the clearest controversial f/os on your list are Frollo, Germany, Lucius, and Endeavour, I am going to say that the most ridiculously controversial one on your list is Willy Wonka, for crimes of child endangerment and slave ownership. OH GOD I FORGOT I SAW VALENTINO ON THERE forget everything I said about anyone else. DISTGUNSTING. (shoves my f/o list behind me... which also includes valentino)
Jsjsjsj but Valentino is the sexy baby girl little meow meow anon 😔👉👈 (good taste anon)
Also wonka is my big brother (and dad in the original movie) he is a nice guy 😔 (and my dad is also a nice guy, he just hates kids/hj)
