okay this is here for me (but if you want to ask about a character you can 🥺👉🏼👈🏼), i’m trying to keep track of the stuff i’ve put in my tags bc some of it actually Is there for more than aesthetic reasons haha so i’m gonna keep track of the names i’ve tagged on here and also simplifying to just “c: character name” so i fucking remember how i tag everyone akskd

regular text means it’s been changed, red means it hasn’t been and it’s still floating in the ether

TAMINA AND THE TERRIBLE HORRIBLE NO GOOD VERY BAD DAY -> i think i'm just tagging literally everything that goes in my "main" universe as "the poisoned obsidian" instead of doing separate tags for separate stories within it because i never remember my own tags and there's so much crossover between characters.

MAIN POISONED OBSIDIAN CHARACTERS

c: tahmina vasquez

c: charles donnelly

c: matthias - this bitch needs a last name or an epithet or something damn

c: nia thorne - i don't think i have her on here by another name but

c: beck vida

c: evangeline de la heina

c: marty vida

c: isadora da rosa

c: leo vida

c: lilith - may tag her by a different name, settling on "nokomis all-mother" but i DO worry this falls into cultural weirdness (it is generally an igbo or ojibwe name and she is not either? but she also didn't like, name herself, and EYE am indigenous so. i'm still debating).

c: xan the scourge

c: morgwaine - also getting a last name or epithet

c: nyx the eternal

c: iggy the bloody - the way i have tagged her like 50 different things lmao

c: kephas the wanderer; c: peter the old bear (i'm gonna choose a different animal, haven't decided yet)

c: captain irayz santos

c: nicos blue

c: einar nemean - the thing is i'm thinking of combining him with nicos so he's floating free for now

c: inara khoji - her name was originally "indira" but that was always a placeholder name. did a lil more research and settled on inara.

c: reagan the redeemer

c: veruca lightseeker

c: elyse nightbridge

c: valentin of the light

i'm missing most of the witchmark characters here so althea, del, ynez, etc etc if you see anything entitled "generic fantasy universe" or "witches caused climate change" I'LL GET THERE

HISTORICAL POISONED OBSIDIAN CHARACTERS

c: sigthorn - i'm adding an epithet to the group he lives with, the way i do the obsidian isle but i'm unsure of what to call it. i was calling it the "iron atoll" until i realized i was just jacking the iron islands from asoiaf lmao (absolutely no relation to the greyjoys tho)

c: ivar

c: isabella de la heina

c: nicolias - needs an epithet, probably the same as sigthorn's

c: micah blood-eye

NO GAYS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS NOVEL -> also poisoned obsidian but these bitches need epithets so no one has been changed yet

c: lieke

c: luka

c: aneurin

MY BEST FRIEND DIED AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID T-SHIRT -> the title of the book is not changing because i think it's hilarious but it turned into a whole series (the medical/romance one) so it's being tagged as "recovering romantics anonymous" to shift the focus onto the support group the main characters all go to.

c: thalia massi (might change last name, undecided)

c: alec ruiz dubois

c: gabriella ruiz dubois

c: mary stevens ochoa

c: rocio acosta

c: cheyenne lipnicki

c: alva karla alvarez

c: hadley alvarez

BORDERTOWN BLUES -> this is not changing, just the character tagging is different now so its-

c: Lani Kealoha Lange

c: KJ Toussey

c: Key Toussey

#screaming into the void #the poisoned obsidian #bordertown blues #recovering romantics anonymous #my best friend died and all i got was this stupid t shirt

i always add a universe whenever i get really into a thing.

my main universe of magic in the real world -> my childhood love of urban fantasy, romance, and historical fantasy in general. i think there's certain points where you can really see the asoiaf, ouat, hunger games, kiesha'ra, lotr, and patricia briggs influences on me lmao.

my best friend died and all i got was this stupid t-shirt aka hopeless romantics anonymous verse -> lethal combo of medical shows (house, grey's, good doctor, transplant, 911) and romance novels (alisha rai, tessa dare, courtney milan)

bordertown blues verse -> just. way too many family dramas + i thought it would be really funny as a concept that this town has recently had a slight demographics change where there are a lot more latinos moving into the area and they live on the canadian border, and insistently call themselves a "bordertown" even though...everyone knows damn well that's not what "bordertown" is actually referring to. that is comedy to me.

celestial conspiracy -> this one is dedicated to every young adult book i read as a teenager where i thought “polyamory could have fixed this” thanks very much.

space refugees/ah shit here we go again -> love of sci-fi operas but especially doctor who, farscape, battlestar galactica, and like a skosh of the 100

anyways i think a reality tv universe is incoming here unfortunately

#this is an excuse to watch more reality tv #screaming into the void

“And it is clear that in the colonial countries the peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system, is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization are simply a question of relative strength. The exploited man sees that his liberation implies the use of all means, and that of force first and foremost.”

—Concerning Violence, Frantz Fanon

"ok but where would Israeli Jewish ppl go" Palestinians have already created a plan for unity, YOU'RE just horny for this idea of brown "savages" getting revenge. White people did this with indigenous peoples, with freed enslaved people, with apartheid SA...also, if your main concern is the settlers/oppressors while the oppressed people can't even recover their dead to count them... (Insert something that'll have me put on a list)

#to watch #resources #palestine #also yeah people do this about the americas all the time #and it’s like well if you’re gonna phrase it as ‘SO WHAT YOURE JUST GONNA KILL US ALL’ my answer is [redacted]#like if you’re not even trying to understand you’re not getting a serious answer

Submissive straight women can read terrible erotica if they want like everybody's allowed some garbage entertainment BUT I keep having to see little previews for those twilight/fifty shades clone type books about some fucking. Guy. And I do hate them so much. These men never sound remotely appealing I'm getting advertisements like "ooh I'm gonna getcha little girl 😈" and I just want to mace him. The instincts this activates in me are not horny I want to attack him like a chimp

#THEYRE NOT EVEN GOOD AT BDSM #and it’s always just borderline little or puppy stuff #WHERES THE POWER PLAY #WHERES THE BONDAGE #WHERES THE ATTRACTION TO A RANDOM WEIRD BODY PART #YOU CANT GIVE ME TWO LIL SPANKS AND CALL THAT KINK #IF SHES ACTING LIKE A LITTLE WHERE IS HER FUCKING STUFFIE #PEG THAT MAN DAMMIT #THEYRE NOT EVEN DOING LIKE ANAL #books #aksjdjjdjd
