I just wanted a spot where I could easily archive everything I’ve written and their linked tumblr posts 🙂 You can find mostly everything on my Ao3 under penname PoisonJack, but I wanted a masterlink to those fic I’ve stuck on tumblr individually. Mainly the really short stuff is on tumblr.
I will regularly update this post. You can see if I am currently accepting fic prompt requests on the main page top of this blog 🙂
There’s 100+ fics to choose from here, folks. Go nuts ;D
Also I have a ko-fi account! 😀 Really like my stuff and wanna slip a few bills into my writer’s pants? You can tip me and buy me a coffee ♥ 😉 haha

I also have a Fallout fic archive on my other blog found here.
At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.
They gave me a number to shoot for. It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.
So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.
I got what I asked for.
If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known. I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.
You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.
Because this is crucially important
Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action.
Iridescent snake skin By @draco_the_brooks_kingsnake
Hey! This is really cool! But please don’t do this to your snake! It can be stressful to your snake, even dangerous. Please check with a vet before trying anything like this. Most times, snakes are fine shedding on their own!
Collected from the Egyptian desert in March of 1846, the Helix desertorum specimen was sent to the British Museum, where scientists thought it had expired in transit. It was glued to a cardboard display card shortly after.
One day four years later, curators noticed something strange about their catatonic mollusk: the shell seemed to have moved from its glued position and a trail of discoloration followed it.
Archivists removed it from the card to give it a bath, with a suspicion the snail might have in fact been slumbering.
After just a few minutes of exposure to moisture, the snail’s head poked from its shell and surveyed its new home with four eye stalks.
As the snail adjusted to active life again, it became a minor celebrity and sat for a portrait by the museum’s zoological artist for inclusion in a book on mollusks, seen below:
whispers hey you can’t use the same critical framework on works by individual lgbt creators that you use for works by corporations looking for profit from lgbt stories written by straight people because the context and consumption of that content exist in completely separate spheres thannnkssssss
you can’t deride a depressed lesbian’s work for having the sad lesbian trope in it
you can’t tell a trans woman writing about being trans that she’s just writing the stereotypical trans narrative
those are their stories to tell and they’re not stereotypes they’re real lives and reducing them to the boxes het media puts us in is reproducing their oppression
And the God-tier is when people criticise individual LGBTQ people for being “stereotypical” in the way they live their lives X___x
the number of people saying the lesbian equivalent of Love Simon is either But i’m a Cheerleader (which is literally nineteen years old) or Cameron Post is unbelievable so here’s a handy guide: if a film features the protagonist’s loved ones sending her off to an actual conversion camp to cure her homosexuality, it’s not a fluffy teen romcom
my philosophy is “nothing an individual can do could possibly be worse for the environment than major corporations dumping tons of pollutants into the atmosphere every day but also don’t just toss shit on the ground you idiot have some manners”
ugh
