#i'll be fixing my carrd behind the scenes

[beast-feast]

Hello and welcome to my blog! Call me Teeth or Rot, but all the folks call me Hex too :). Feel free to take your pick!

I'm a 19 year old transmasc (he/it) who is the proud father of a ball python, Peanut, who has been under my care since 12/28/21!

I'm extremely autistic (+ many other things) and very bad at reading the room sometimes, but I try my best to fix my mistakes behind the scenes (I'm terrible at verbal apologies, and take "show don't tell" a little too literally ><). I post whatever I like here!!! But expect to see things like selfshipping, vents, and bugs. I provide ZERO warnings for bugs because they're one of my special interests so do take care!!!

I'm currently trying to figure out my stance on f/os and I don't provide a list, and I'm generally pretty open to finding folks with similar taste! I've been selfshipping since I was a little kid, but only really joined the community in about 2019/2020.

I also run sideblogs!!!

- @feastfic is my writing blog!

- @death-and-reblogs is, well, my reblog...blog! (Warning, I reblog some posts that may be considered NSFW from time to time. Nothing graphic, just funny textposts)

- @redrawnmon-project is a personal project I've been trying to do :)! All it is, is just me drawing Pokemon characters the way that I see them, but I hope to diversify the content some day!

You can also check out this neat little link to find my carrd!

COMMISSION INFO

I'm virtually always open for commissions! You're always free to shoot me a DM and ask if you're not sure, but if for whatever reason they're closed, I can put you on a list of interested folks that will receive priority for when they open again :).

I take CashApp ($HexedDecimal) and Venmo (HexedDecimal) ONLY!!!

If you're unsure about what I do or don't do (rather, will/won't) feel free to ask any time! I'm normally going to say that I'll do it/have done it before, so no need to be afraid!

Some of you may have noticed, but !!! I've recently been struck with a renewed motivation for this project. I've started plugging away at some pieces- primarily behind the scenes things i.e. outlining and character work, but some things to actually share. However, this reinvigoration has unfortunately coincided with some pretty weighty events in my life, so I'm now stuck with the inverse problem I'd had previously; all the mental energy and excitement to write, but physically drained and little free time. Regardless of this, there are four things I'm trying to get ready to share

Fixing up an introductory "who's who" of the various deities, at least finishing the major deities' pages and getting everyone else sorted out.

A sort of pronunciation help thing (probably just for names, at least for now)- I've been trying to reteach myself the pronunciations for the ancient Egyptian names so I read them that way in my head by default, and figured it would be something helpful to share. Ideally I'll be able to link video or audio for each pronunciation, but I'll find some kind of alternative or make them myself if need be.

A silly "Things You Might've Wondered About"/"Random Questions I've Researched" list of information I've collected. Things like "favorite/popular foods of certain areas," "common everyday hygiene habits," "normal familial dynamics/customs," etc.

And perhaps most importantly, finally get an actual masterpost of sorts up and running lol. I know I'VE had trouble finding certain things again, and it's really just common sense to have one place with links to everything worth taking a look at besides the myths themselves.

The only other thing worth mentioning in this update is that I have decided NOT to post this project to Ao3, for a handful of reasons but most notably; the policy for original works is too vague for my liking, and the resurgence of reposting things off Ao3 to sell on Amazon and other self publishing sites has me concerned for anyone that posts any original work there. Sure, the Ao3 team (from my secondhand understanding) is good about helping people with such problems, and it could happen on any platform, but this is just the decision I've arrived at for my project.

I will of course be posting each myth here as well, but I would still like to offer a second option for people that don't want to read on Tumblr- my fellow mobile only users in particular. Carrd came to my mind as a possible alternative, but I don't understand it enough to make use of it. If anyone knows a trustworthy Ao3-like site that explicitly original work friendly, I would greatly appreciate the suggestion.

The Science of Fanfiction

A Study in Sherlock | 3 More Days to Go!

Getting to Know Blessie.

A/N: This is going to be a long post.

Hullo! I apologise if this isn't the actual TSoF yet (next few posts won't be either, sorry), but I think that before we get to the point, I should probably tell who, what, where, why, and how I am. I guess it's important since I'm no big name here in the Sherlock side of Tumblr – I only have 32 followers at the time I'm writing this, and I'm just as much of a fan as the next user. Doing something this big is really hard for me since I've got a lot of things on my hands, but I hope and pray that God will give me enough strength and support for me to pull through.

(Yes, I'm a Christian; Roman Catholic, to be specific. However, my religion does not define my beliefs about life.)

Alright, enough sidetracking. For starters, my name is Blessie, but you can call me Bee if Blessie is a mouthful for you. I am the girl behind the handle of shezzaspeare, if that's not yet obvious. I will be launching TSoF at the age of sixteen years, two months, and two weeks. I'm a Hufflepuff, Thunderbird, Erudite, neutral good, ENTP-T, and tired. If anything else, I'm basically your local demisexual Sagittarian ambivert from the Philippines with artistic leanings, a truckload of unfinished WIPs, and a vague but large amount of anxiety running through her veins. If you want to know how I look like, here's a visual I made a couple of months back for you:

I've been in the BBC Sherlock fandom since I was twelve, the general Sherlock Holmes fandom since I was eleven. I'd be lying if I saw that they're not a big influence in my life: they, along with various other crime shows I'm fond of, inspired to want to become a forensic linguist. They're also a big factor of a lot of the things I do. I've watched a lot of Holmes adaptations (I've yet to finish Elementary and watch Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century), read countless pieces of pastiche, and spun numerous conspiracy theories based off the show. My parents find this liking a little worrying, but I beg to differ.

Other than the aforementioned classic, I'm also an avid fan of Marvel, Harry Potter, Good Omens, Six The Musical, Disney, and Hamilton. I adore Benedict Cumberbatch, Louis Partridge, Jeremy Brett, Natalie Dormer, and a handful more celebrities. I like to listen to old songs, watch documentaries, read classic books, and if I continue, we might be here long after Series 1 of TSoF is finished. Hello to my mutuals, by the way!

Now, for those who know me outside of Tumblr, you know I do a lot of things. But for those who don't, I've done a lot. I've sang, done art, cross stitched, made graphics, joined in academic competitions; and currently, I'm running a YouTube Channel, this blog, and this sentence.

Above that all, though, I write. I started writing when I was in fourth grade, and it's for a category in the school paper called editorial writing (the opinion columns). Not long after that, I discovered the world of fanfiction through the world of Wattpad, and I mainly wrote for this cartoon series called Ever After High. Years have passed since then, and my writing and fandoms have changed. So far, I've been writing for nine years and counting. I'm still fixing up my AO3 account and I plan to transfer some works of mine over there. You can still find all my works at my Wattpad page.

Now, why did I decide to do TSoF even if I have a lot going on with my life? Why did I push this through even if after nearly a decade of writing I haven't finished a single fanfic? The answer is very simple, really. I've seen a lot of brilliant discussions about the show — Sherlock's personality, symbolisms within the series, and backstories with the details of the scenes. I've come to realise that we never shone light into the other side of this wonderful fandom in which I contribute to as well. There are numerous writers who don't get the exposure they deserve, fanfic tropes we have yet to talk about, and AUs far more complex and deep than they seem. I think it's about time we talk about the—

I'm sorry. I just really love this GIF a lot. This is definitely not the last time you'll see it in the series.

For the tropes, if I may add, I'll mainly focus on tropes on Wattpad since AO3 is nothing short of unique and different kinds of stories whilst Wattpad is a different territory.

I don't have a day assigned for a regular update in TSoF, since I've still got school and all. I do promise that I'll post at least once a month, just for good measure.

I would like to thank everyone for their support for TSoF even if it hasn't begun yet. I can't promise it's anything as good as the content they put out, but I will give my all in this series. You guys rock!

So, allow me to share my love of fanfiction, BBC Sherlock or just plain ACD canon, with you with TSoF. It is my honour and pleasure to go balls knees-deep into this thing.

See you at the start of this thing on Monday!
