About Me

[silverink]

Hello, I'm SilverInk! Welcome to my journal!

I'm a fan and fic writer of many different fandoms, most of them very small and obscure — you can find my AO3 here. I'm doing a lot more original writing lately, too! I post a lot of fandom and writing related content on here as well as some personal stuff, which is sometimes friends only. I'm hoping to post more on here in the new year, and I want to post more about books I'm reading for fun or for school.

I'm 25 years old and just graduated from a college certificate program, and I'm now searching for my first Real Adult Job. I enjoy being creative through writing, baking, and sewing!

You can feel free to treat the comments on this post as a general Tumblr ask box and ask me whatever you want to know, or maybe send me writing prompts! Please introduce yourself if you feel like it! 

My Fandoms:
- The Old Guard
- Rosemary Sutcliff novels, esp. The Eagle of the Ninth and Frontier Wolf
- Turn: Washington's Spies (kind of - sadly I only found the show in 2021 after it had been over for 4 years :'( )
- The Mummy
- Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries
- S <3

Awesome! I feel like I've gotten a lot more into planners the past few years haha! And same, I've mostly been writing lately and reading WIPs I'm subscribed to. And I'm also on the kinkmeme. I used to be more active in the fandom, but I feel like most of it had too much discourse :(

Ahh I hope you enjoyed them!! And yes the movie's such a beautiful experience! I love the theme of positivity and humanity and how much backstory they have to explore in fic <3

And thanks!!! Congrats to you too! Haha stem is super impressive to me too! It's kinda hard to keep up with reading and papers for my majors, but I feel like it'd be harder for me to learn and keep up with stem. It def helps with my fandoms!! I've taken some classes on the Middle Ages, and last semester I learned about the Crusades which kinda made me want to write a more historically focused Joe/Nicky meeting story. A lot of my other fandoms are historical too!

It's two different majors, and classical studies is about ancient Greece and Rome (and kinda Egypt)! I've always been interested in Greek mythology tbh and it turned into love of history too!! I've mostly focused on ancient history and some later stuff, so I kinda recommend just starting with a country/period you're interested in! What made you want to study stem btw? :D

Discourse in the TOG fandom you mean? :O

Haha omg the nice thing about stem is that typically undergrad courses don't make you do readings or papers. They might make you do math though. Like a bunch of it o-o Doesn't really help me in the fic writing department ajsiodan and it can be really hard but also quite fun at times :)) I've always taken more science classes in high school and my local universities don't offer much of a diversity in majors, and back then I couldn't really imagine myself studying much else. (Now it might be a different story hahaha.) So why not? :]

And ooh a double major :O Dang I imagine there's gotta be a lot of readings.

History's gotta be very broad though right? What's the difference between classical studies (on ancient Greece/Rome/Egypt) and doing history focused in those eras?
