New info post 📯

Hi, I'm Casper, or Cas. I'm a Queer Trans Disabled writer working on both fanfiction and original fiction. I'm an adult.

Current hyperfixation: Baldurs Gate 3 Time

I tag all my original writing with #aspera project , tag my nonfiction ramblings and shit posts with #casper's cryptid tales, and I will update this with a longer tag list when I have the spoons, this is just a placeholder.

I'm Always open to chatty anons (although I may take a while to answer, because... Disability.) To weird anons, to odd questions, occasionally to bizarre accusations. Sure. Hit me. Fanfic requests are currently open only for Wyll ships. At some point here I will be writing some long overdue requests (if you requested me... I didn't delete it. I am just. So tired). Although if you want to see more of my OCs, that's always welcome. (Check the original writing tag too, I think that's the one I used.) I don't know why this text block is orange and I can't fix it. Sorry

Sideblogs:

@adhdapp for reviewing productivity apps

@theasperagroup - Gothic, horror, Vibes.

@thebeelog - Bees

Asks are tagged with #Casper's haunted info tag, so check there if you're looking to see if I answered you at 4am. I do that a lot.

Thanks for reading, and for being here, and if you wanna support me, Ko-fi in bio 💕

magic=gay interpretation is all well and good but personally i think being gay in camelot is actually fine because uther's so focused on getting rid of magic he doesn't really care about anything else. like that politician from australia but with magic instead of crocodiles

According to a recent report published by the Aargauer Zeitung (h/t Golem.de), around three million smart toothbrushes have been infected by hackers and enslaved into botnets.

The most cyberpunk thing on your dash today.

This....this is why you do not need to connect EVERYTHING to the internet.

I'm comfused- how much damage could an enslaved toothbrush cause??

The aggressors installed remote control software onto the smart toothbrushes via their unprotected internet connections, aggregating 3 million of them into a botnet: a network of robot computers under remote control.

Next, they would instruct all 3 million of them to attack a website of their choosing, causing a distributed-denial-of-service (DDS) situation where the targeted website was so busy talking to hijacked toothbrushes that it couldn't do the work it was designed for, resulting in crashes and lost revenue.

A DDDS, or Dental Distributed Denial of Service, if you will

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.

Back when I used to walk around my college in a corduroy blazer and slacks I didn't call it "dark academia" I called it "professor drag" and the purpose was to smoothly walk into parts of campus I wasn't supposed to access

Kabru trying his usual approach to undermining people against Laios is so funny. It’s like he’s a grandmaster at chess, poker, and everything else that requires mind-games coming up to a guy, fully expecting to beat him at any game under any circumstances, only to realize he didn’t prepare for the one thing he’d actually be faced with, which is a hotdog eating contest against a guy whose friends call him “the vacuum cleaner”.

A lot of people in the reblogs are referencing that meme to say that Laios is eating all the chess pieces while Kabru’s not looking, which isn’t really true in my opinion. For him to eat the pieces would imply that he’s also playing chess, or is interested in competing against Kabru at anything, or that he’s interested in the chess pieces to begin with. He doesn’t even know a game’s going on! The scenario is more like Kabru sits him down after going though 8000 simulations in his head, puts a chess board in between them, and before he can start setting up the pieces, Laios mistakes that chess board for a dinner plate and slams one of these down onto it.

i hate when ppl act like the only reason to not like a "sad" ending is because you can't take it or whatever. personally as a tragedy enjoyer, i hate a poorly written ending. i hate an ending that is just kind of a bummer. i hate an ending that feels mean-spirited to the audience. i hate an ending that's redundant. i love a sad ending that is thematically consistent, poignant, and bespoke to the rest of its narrative.
