My Secret Origin

@mysecretorigin / mysecretorigin.tumblr.com

A SUPER SECRET blog for random things. English/grammar nerd, INFP. She/her. I like: WtNV, Orphan Black, Buffy, The Princess Bride, Seanan McGuire, YA Lit, Parks & Rec, The West...

the only time it was actually funny and entertaining when a "ship" was "confirmed" by someone who worked on the show was when someone asked rene auberjonois at a panel what the nature of quark and odo's relationship was and he replied "sexual." without elaboration

Update. I wish it was easier to tell who is actually still around. Hmm.

Back in the Before Times (and I don’t just mean pre-Covid. Like, WAY before), I was a teacher and so I connected with lots of other teachers on here. I haven’t taught high school since…2012? (Omg, Really?)

I taught college courses as an adjunct for several years after that, with the last college course I taught being in the spring of 2020.

So, if you are/were following me from the education days, I’m not doing that anymore. Just, y’know, FYI.

I’m most likely to post nerdy/pop culture/feminist/funny stuff (and whatever else strikes my fancy).

So I guess you actually can tell how long it’s been since people updated…just not on the app.

Hi! I’ve been away for a while. Who should I be following?

Things Safe Search didn’t consider “sensitive” enough to block:

* That post about the devil’s doorbell * A very interesting post about surgical vagina repair * Several posts about slash/shipping * Some topless mermaids * A bunch of sexy Disney Princess pin-ups * A substantial amount of comic book violence

Things Safe Search blocked real good:

* Black Panther (comic book version) beating up the KKK

Do.  Better.

Erin and Rand’s filk album

As you may know, my husband and I are working on an album together. I’ve already shared our Indiegogo link once, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight a really special fundraising perk.

In 2013, we were invited to be the Filk Waifs (Toastmasters) at FilKONtario and our dear friend @seananmcguire​ agreed to write our bio for the program book.

Of course, if you know Seanan at all, you’ve already guessed that what she supplied was no ordinary bio: she wrote an original short story, casting the two of us as characters. That story has only appeared in the program book, until now!

Campaign pledges of $30 or more get you a digital copy of that bio/story! And that’s not all the Seanan you’ll find on this project!

One of the tracks is a parody of Seanan’s song “Dear Gina,” with lyrics by me and @meravhoffman​. The song imagines that October Day has gained sentience outside book world, realizes that Seanan is the one doing all of these horrible things to her, and threatens revenge. :D

(Additionally, Seanan is going to supply us with some vocal tracks!)

I hope you’ll click the link and find out more about our project!

Reblogging for the evening crowd.

Filk-interested followers, check this out!

Hey, thanks for all the likes and reblogs! also, I need to point out that I do, in fact, know how to spell October Daye. (typo. edited it, but too late.)

:D
