Welcome to my blog! I'm whim (lowercase cause I'm like that), and I use this space to discuss thoughts about anime, horror, and fan meta, but I also write reviews/recommendations for media I like and hobby related stuff. Sometimes I post general life updates too. Even if the contents of this blog are not NSFW, this is intended to be an 18+ space.

I'm a mod for [community profile] ygorarepairs  and [community profile] movieclub here on Dreamwidth, and I participate in various different exchanges on and off site.

Writing & Permissions

I'm working on migrating a lot of my fics to my website, and I may create a community here for posting my fics to Dreamwidth. I'm also interested in archiving more of my stuff to Ourchive cause you really can't have your stuff in too many spaces! Right now, all of my fics are posted to whimwitch on Ao3.

My writing tends to focus on unusual forms of intimacy, codependency, bro-jobs, and sometimes I veer into guro territory. My fictional works have no point, no meaning, but often have climaxes (つ ͡ꈍ ͜ʖ̫ ͡ꈍ )

Gifting me fics/art is fine! Podfic may be alright--just ask.

Journal Etiquette
I grant access to more personal posts (thought I never really get that personal) with those I've spoken with several times. This is not intended for friends but people who are interested in what I have to say enough that I feel comfortable sharing more IRL updates with. If I grant you access, I am not expecting you do the same for me, and it's totally fine to revoke access for whatever reason. Ditto with subscribing!

Feel free to comment on any post, no matter how old. DMs are open.

Hi! Just found you in Snowflake Challenge and subscribed. I'm not really into any of your fandoms - I've watched some Pokemon but I'm nowhere near current on it - but your general interests sounded interesting. A bit of humor for you: When I read your community name "ygorarepairs," my brain initially split the words as "ygora repairs" and I spent a moment wondering WTF "ygora" meant before I figured out what it was actually saying. ^_^

In that case check out two new communities, [community profile] 40sedoretu and [community profile] 100quadrantedships. Both are prompt table communities with some discussion about their themes, which focus on different structures of relationships. Sedoretu is a type of foursquare marriage. Troll romance quadrants have couples and trios based on positive or negative emotions and sexual/romantic or platonic attraction. Given your darker interests, the quadrants may appeal to you more, as trolls (and thus their ideas of romance) are quite violent.

>> thanks for the recommendations! <<

I'm happy I could help.

>> i don't know very much about homestuck at all,<<

I only know it from the meta, I haven't read the original. There is a good thumbnail description on [community profile] 100quadrantedships for starters. One meta piece is already linked on the community and there will be more later. Fanlore has much more too.

>> but the fandoms quadrant shipping math is very interesting to me. <<

It definitely supports math fun. The romance isn't even all of that -- trolls have 12 normal colors of blood (not counting mutations) and that influences their caste and role in society. Throw those stereotypes into the quadrant system and it gets really complicated. \o/
