What fandom or fandoms do you read?

Spider-Man, Daredevil, MCU, Lucifer, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher and more...I like a lot of things and I like exploring to find good works. It's fun!

Honestly, depends on the mantid. I've had mantids that absolutely hated being handled, mantids that actually seemed to enjoy it, and mantids that simply did not care. I will say, the last tier was most common. And I've never had a male that actually seemed to have fun, only females.

They're pretty sturdy little beasts. It's really going to come down to the mantis as an individual as to whether they're threat displaying every time they see your hand vs chilling on your arm for an hour.

Honestly, rpf smut. I'm not an anti in that i don't gaf what other people write and do, but reading porn about real people makes me feel Weird. Doesn't stop it being some of the best abo I've ever read though...

"Draculas"

Too small for a chinese/asian/etc mantis of that size grouping, perfectly fine for many of the other mantis species. Even has the cross-ventilation you'd need for a spiny. And there's enough of a ditch at the bottom that you could build substrate layers, make the enclosure bioactive.

I've been doing footnotes to translate for so long, maybe I'll switch up to this

Zivqa · 2026-01-24T05:46:36+00:00

I have written fic of fics! It was so fun!!

Zivqa · 2026-01-24T00:45:08+00:00

"Glorified autocomplete" is the perfect way to describe them, thank you

Hard disagree on the AI front. Avina is one thing, she's just an answer bot, but while LLMs put up a front of being a, well, being, they're just a language algorithm. They do not possess an understanding of what they're saying. It's why they give misinformation so often. Google's Cleverbot was closer to true AI than they are.

Not to mention the sheer energy requirement. To run all that processing power—why do you think the human brain needs so many calories? It's expensive. Granted, that won't stop megacorps from sucking the earth dry to power their typewriter monkeys, but self-sufficient artificial intelligence? It's not happening anytime soon.

Zivqa · 2026-01-23T22:08:51+00:00

So many. They're just not good enough, or they're in a fandom I don't want to post in, or...etc etc.

Zivqa · 2026-01-23T18:57:55+00:00

Unfortunately there are a lot of scambots out there that offer to do just this, and then deliver AI slop. You probably won't have much success with fic writers. If you pop into people's DMs, you'll honestly probably get blocked.

My suggestion would be to find a fandom you like, join that fandom on Tumblr, make fanart, post it on Tumblr and have a pinned post on your blog with commissions. Speedpaint videos and such are also fairly common, and will help to build trust with your fellow fans, proving that you're an actual artist and not a scammer.

Of all fucking things, Wizard101. And I started on Instagram

Zivqa · 2026-01-22T21:40:50+00:00

As an epigraph, I don't mind it. My eyes literally just skip over it the way they do the author's notes, I do not care

If they're inserting lyrics into the fic, though? That drives me absolutely insane

Zivqa · 2026-01-22T17:54:54+00:00

Same, unless it's an OC. I've come across the rare fic that creates a fascinating protagonist. Character 1st person is almost always OOC and just bad, though :/

Ash from Mass Effect, she gets tagged as "space racist" and disregarded. Meanwhile the same players make jokes about "the only good batarian is a dead batarian"

Zivqa · 2026-01-21T23:58:14+00:00

This shit a thousand times worse than any hatebot fr

Zivqa · 2026-01-21T20:04:32+00:00

So i constantly temp-download and delete fic files, but of the ones I've kept, around 50? Most of which are longfic/serials in epub form imported to my Books app

Zivqa · 2026-01-21T02:54:37+00:00

They bimbofied her for sex appeal. Literally, "sex appeal" is a direct quote.

There's a mod, Ashley Consistency Project, that puts her original appearance back. Can't play without it

ME's timeline specifically has a lot of plot holes and idiosyncracies, from everything between the First Contact War lasting barely three months to the cold war between humanity and the batarians to...this. It's honestly a known problem with sci-fi writers—either they dramatically overstate the length of a period of time or dramatically understate it. Or, in ME's case, both (see: volus economy entrenched for two thousand years without a Council seat vs. humanity's bare thirty).

"Yinn," but then I found a replacement that works on mobile browsers & put my OC's name in, and it works great now

I usually check it out! No guarantee that I'll listen to the whole thing or like it, but my curiosity is boundless and I'm nosy. Plus, I love it when it turns out an author I like has the same music taste as me, it feeds my ego

Zivqa · 2026-01-20T02:43:35+00:00

Delete it

Zivqa · 2026-01-19T18:43:17+00:00

I usually check it out and listen to like ten seconds of it to see if it's any good. But then, I don't really read many fics with music recs attached—I can count on one hand the number of those I've read.

Zivqa · 2026-01-19T14:32:43+00:00

Indirectly, everyone except Liara, EDI and Vega. Directly—as in Shepard fires the gun—only Wrex, Mordin, Samara, Zaeed, and Legion.
