Blood Donation Fics!

I was inspired by @setulose and their Gallons of the Stuff initiative, where they write fic in exchange for blood donation, and I wanted to hop on the blood sacrifice train.

Rules:

  1. The donation must be fully voluntary and unpaid.
  2. Send me proof of donation. The donation must be from within the past week—sorry, but old donations don't count! Emails, forms, and pictures of IVs are all sufficient. For photos of IVs, include a slip of paper with your Tumblr username and the date. Censor your personal information, including your birthday!
  3. After you've requested a fic, you can request another one in eight weeks, which is the standard time between whole blood donations. You can donate platelets every two weeks, but unfortunately, I can't write that fast :(
  4. Give me a prompt of some sort. It can be as specific or as vague as you want: a bit of dialogue, a song lyric, a short outline, a general concept...whatever floats your boat.
  5. Let me know if you have any dislikes or triggers.
  6. Don't be weird if I refuse a particular prompt.
  7. Not a strict rule, but a request: please consider posting about your blood donation on your blog! I want to spread the word.

More Fic Details:

  1. I will write at least 1,000 words for a fic.
  2. Fics will take me between a week and two months to write, depending on my schedule. Please be patient!
  3. I can write action/adventure, romance, cozy fluff, hurt/comfort, and angst. I can't do "crack fic" comedies, horror, explicit smut, or modern AUs. Please keep it M rated or below.
  4. I am down to write in any POV or tense, including reader inserts!
  5. As far as ships go: if I post about it with any regularity, it's fair game! Otherwise, you're welcome to request any pairing or ship. I might say no if I don't think I can write it well, but I won't judge you for your taste in ships.

Fandoms:

  • Star Wars (including the first 6 movies, Rogue One, The Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian, Skeleton Crew, and Andor)
  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Arcane
  • Skyrim
  • Oblivion

One last thing:

If you would also like to write fics for blood donations, feel free to tag me! I'd love to spread the word by reblogging your post or your works. I'll also write you a fic of your own :)

SCREAMS, HEY, YOU WANT SOMETHING FUN TO WATCH? I just finished this video of a fan getting into Star Wars in 2026 and it's an absolute banger of a ride to listen to her talk about it, where:

  • she starts with the Revenge of the Sith novelization???? like straight up just dives right into the deep
  • thinks Obi-Wan is going to die to push Anakin over the edge into darkness
  • becomes deeply attached to Anakin as a character, she loves him SO MUUUUUUUCH, that's her special guy!!!!
  • THEN FINDS OUT HE IS DARTH VADER??????? THE MOST EVIL GUY EVER???? NOOOOOOO
  • she couldn't watch the originals for a good amount of time because SHE COULDN'T FOLLOW HIM DOWN THIS PATH
  • then watched the originals finally and loved them too
  • absolutely fucking NAILED the themes of how death is part of life and Anakin's fear kept him from being able to let go in a healthy way
  • also fucking nails the Jedi Order's themes and philosophies and that she aligns with them, even as fun as a Sith could be
  • DELIGHTS in Palpatine as a master manipulator gaslighter, she is having a blast with just how that guy is the worst and even nails the parallel of him doing to Luke what he did to Anakin with Dooku

It's such a joy to watch a new fan discover Star Wars, to get emotionally hooked on all these things I love, to pick up what the story was putting down, and just have a lot of fun.

I'm not ignoring the log in my own eye, but perhaps but those shipping goggles (or blinders) are affecting the way that you analyze The Media.

update from the discord group courtesy of one of my mutuals;

do not trust that damned survey. change your discord password. utilize 2FA.

I use 2FA on every website I log into, and it didn't ask for any details when I took the survey, but I still don't trust that thing at all. One can never be too safe.

to be clear, the one that is a scam is the one that asks for your Discord login information. there is a legitimate one that does not ask for ANY information and that one is a legitimate qualtrics survey from Discord. make sure you always check sites and links before you click on them fellas!

The legit survey has been closed down as of yesterday.

The phishing scam is taking advantage of the high emotions about AI, but if anything online asks for your login info (that is not on the actual verified website that belongs to that login that you navigated to yourself (not a link from an email or post!)), that is a huge sign to STOP.

i know it's a common headcanon that dennis cooks for trinity (i have it in a lot of my fics) but i think it's more realistic that he makes tuna noodle casserole for that girl once and she is like "never fucking again will you defile my kitchen with this white bullshit. how about i cook, you clean. maybe i will teach you some recipes."

Finally, the original has crossed my dash.

@strangezeroz welcome to tumblr where the app decides when you can be gifted with the sight of og memes, you cannot look for these yourself via the search engine, you won’t find them, you have to wait to be gifted them

For those of you who might be new here, Tumblr has no algorithm, legendary memes are brought to your dash by mutuals like pet cats bringing you dead birds.

"the pitt doesn't care about homeless people! the healthcare workers are treating human beings badly!!!!!"

it is so important to me that you recognize that healthcare workers still do have functioning olfactory systems. They don't gouge out their noses once they reach certification.

Mr. Digby does not have access to facilities to take care of himself. He smells. It's ok. He himself probably knows that he smells. Expecting him not to smell would be stupid. He doesn't have consistent access to running water to bathe or relieve himself. People who do have access to supplies to clean themselves still manage to smell wrank. No one is blaming him.

Human beings react to smell. If you are minding your business at work and suddenly smell something unpleasant. You react. Even over time, with experience, your nose still functions! Crazy, i know. You can be trained to be more respectful with your response to things (i.e. antoine's "im not a wash and detail service" comment directly in front of the patient is poor taste) but expecting people not to be shocked because they're healthcare workers is unreasonable.

I’m so glad that The Pitt is doing so well and growing its audience and fandom. But with that comes people who just blurt out opinions without thinking critically or recognizing that this is a TV show that releases an episode each week, not dropping them in chunks.

Making huge statements about the nature of the show like “the pitt is treating homeless people like garbage” and “they are mandatory reporters, there’s no grey area” when there’s only been one episode? They drag these storylines out because real-time medicine is the nature of the show.

Mr. Krakozhia (The Kraken) is portrayed as a difficult and awful patient that nobody wants to touch. His storyline results in Whitaker joining the street team. The Pitt writers do not hate drug addicts or difficult patients. They portray the realism of how doctors and nurses might view these patients as pests/tasks, even if they shouldn’t. This is likely the same thought process with the homeless patient.

The David storyline does resolve at the end because McKay overrides Robby to report him to the police. It’s not because The Pitt writers don’t understand mandatory reporting. They wanted to show their main character being wrong, misogynistic, and coming to that realization. Similarly, Kylie storyline will probably end in a report to CPS. It’s only been 30 minutes since Santos has evaluated her. No labs or tests have been analyzed. They aren’t going to make a snap decision without treating the patient.

Anyway, I think the issue is we have become so accustomed to binging episodes because streaming rarely follows a weekly release schedule.

thank you for this post. not an expert, but I do work in medicine—my second thought about the bruising after the girl denied being abused was that she could have leukemia or another blood disorder that’s causing her to bleed like crazy from ordinary soccer injuries. checking labs before making a CPS report is perfectly reasonable. it’s not like she’s in immediate danger in the ER.
