i was going to make this long and well informed post explaining what exactly is going on with my blog but there are only like 2 of you guys that faithfully look at my posts (that i know of) so i will keep this simple.
the following reasons are the main factors to my hiatus and why i removed my posts:
multiple members of not only the cast, but production, including Matt Duffer himself, have openly admitted their approval of the genocide Isreal is orchestrating. and as we all know season 5 is underway, which means that any fics i put out for stranger things will inevitably just be free ads and hype for the season even if i think it should be boycott in the name of human rights and innocent lives at the very least.
solidarity with Palestinians
tumblr fandom is kinda dying
pretty much anyone i talk to about it says the same thing; tumblr fandom is so much less than it used to be. truth is you have to reblog things to keep posts alive on tumblr and a lot of users just,,, don't. i love my writing too much to let it die in a matter of hours when it might have taken me days to put together.
tumblr's scummy a.i. deal
i don't want my hard work scraped so a bot can churn out shitty stories for people too lazy to make their own. simple as that.
so with all this said i will be taking a step back from this account. hopefully one day things will change and i can be in the position to consider posting here again but until all of those things change probably not.
Bug Fact: The Atlas Moth (Attacus atlas) has uniquely shaped wings that resemble the head of a snake. When threatened, it drops to the ground, and shifts its wings to imitate a snakes' movement.
Hello hellsitegenetics! I gotta tell you, you are my favourite blog in this digital jungle and your work really brings a smile to my face (: it's very cool, keep it up! Every time I see the phrase "string identified" i imagine a robot voice saying that (as a lead up to an output) which makes it very funny when it appears in a reblog - just wanted to tell you that. Anyways, I actually have a real question for you: What's your favourite "string identified" so far?
Greetings from a biology nerd!
String identified:

the trick is to NEVER learn when I Want You (She's So Heavy) cuts off and absolutely NEVER check the song progress bar so it makes you feel like you're falling off a cliff in a dream every time
yet again, thank you @where-is-francis for tagging me!
Ride or die ship (your otp): steddie and ronance are at a very beautiful tie
Most annoying ship: stancy, i'm sorry but nothing good will come of them being together.
Second favourite ship: buckingham and lumax
Favourite platonic relationship: stobin obviously, but also elington, madwise and (unfortunately there is no ship name i know of) dustin and erica. i feel very strongly about this in particular.
Underrated ship: argylen
Overrated ship: i am sorry to say but mileven is so overrated to me. really eleven should be able to find herself and really express whoever that is, not be pretty much soft launched into craving male validation.
One thing i would change in canon: less dead people, especially probably eddie. i would have liked to see billy have a more well rounded character arc as well.
Something canon did right: not making all the queer characters the same. they have depth that goes beyond just being the diversity character. same for lucas, although i wish they did more with him.
A thing i'm proud of creating for the fandom PLEASE BRAG ABOUT YOURSELF I WANT TO SEE/READ YOUR ART: i am not nearly as cool as a lot of people in this space but i did make "drive you home" which seems to be a hit for the size of my blog (small)
A character who is perfect to me (wouldn't change a thing): joyce
The character i relate to the most and why: eddie. everyone who knows me knows that me and eddie are the same person, not even different font, just different delivery. do i let this go to my head? absolutely, i am a loser and having people tell me i have bitches essentially is so so ego boosting. i am also like, a grown man who has a kids spiderman wallet, was a cult leader in 7th grade and once downed half a bottle of rumchatta (which contains milk) knowing i am lactose intolerant so like, how could i not be the disaster man????
Character(-s) i hate the most and why: i hate characters, yes, but first and foremost i hate the fucking duffer brothers. /hj
Something i've learned from the fandom: don't ineract with people who say "fiction is fiction" to excuse their fave's problematic behavior bc chances are they are a bigot. also lucas haters are always fucking boring.
Three tags i seek out on ao3: i do not often go on ao3, but when i do i am looking for steve harrington content p much every time. i love him so much that i could eat him.
A song i strongly associate with my otp/favourite character: no matter what i always half ironically say it is teenage dream by katy perry
No pressure tagging: @witchthewriter (i am very sorry for the multiple tags)
kinda relating to last post, heres some art i made of my bug dragon critter thing. i originally drew these a while ago but never posted/kept tweaking them
