Hark! A pinned post!

I have finally decided to do an intro post, more for archival purposes than anything, but yes. Hello! You can call me Pella, or Pell. My name, which is very long, is a remnant from the olden times of the Barrow-Downs Elven name generator (and forums!), which shows how long I've been around. She/her pronouns, please. I welcome asks and ask games, and will generally answer them, unless I forget.

Mostly, I write fic:

Find me on Ao3! Please note you currently must be logged in to your account to access my works.

Please make fanworks of my work! I'd consider it the highest honour. Just please tag me so I can see!

Current Active Fandoms:

Tagging:

I am pretty horrendous about tagging (I'm frequently on mobile) but I do my best. I do try to make an effort for spoilers.

With that said, this is not a complete selection of everything that can be found on my blog, but most stuff should be covered--

pella writes - my writing pella reads - other peoples' writing pella answers - answered asks pella poses - for my FFXIV gpose endeavours otp: sun and snow - for all things related to Eyn'ara and Aymeric

OC Do Not Steal:

My FFXIV character is also my OC and the light of my life, Eyn'ara! Please pleasepleaseplease send me questions about her

And... I think that's everything! Welcome, please enjoy your stay, and may you always walk in the light!

When you try to talk about enshittification, it sounds like conspiracy theories. (I'm not crazy)

Amazon made their service worse, to force people to pay for Prime.

Nowadays, if you order from Amazon, there is a week long delay before your package is shipped. (on purpose)

I remember when orders would ship out the same day. (I remember - it was real)

YouTube didn't used to have ads. Now, ads play in the middle of videos. (it's worse than TV ever was)

The best can opener I have owned is over 40 years old. Modern ones just don't hold up as well. (The ones I bought new broke ages ago)

The bread machine my mom got for her wedding lasted 30 years. It's been replaced twice in the last 5 years. (How can you fuck this up?)

The cardboard tubes in the middle of toilet paper rolls have gotten larger. (This too?) Companies increasing the price of the product while selling you less. (REALLY?)

It sounds crazy. (it's the truth) When you talk about it, YOU sound crazy. (it's true)

Even when people believe you (do they really), all they can say is "it sucks". (it's too big) Because the problem is so big, so pervasive, what can we even DO about it???

To get the necessary laws written and passed, we need politicians, to get the politicians elected we need information campaigns, to fund campaigns we need money, and all the money is being hoarded by the people profiting from enshittification. (it sounds so fake)

So I talk about enshittification (it sounds crazy), so people don't forget that things have been made worse on purpose (it's true), even though I sound crazy. (maybe I am)

We also need more people willing to fucking vote.

StopNCII.org is operated by the Revenge Porn Helpline which is part of SWGfL, a charity that believes that everyone should benefit from technology, free from harm. Founded in 2000, SWGfL works with a number of partners and stakeholders around the world to protect everyone online

Sounds legit

everyone reblog this!!

[Image ID: screenshot from TikTok(?) containing the following text:

Cousins, if someone ever edits your photo with Al or Photoshop to create a nude photo, then you go to www.stopncii.org/and submit the original photo and the edited photo, then they will remove the edited photo from all the places on the Internet. You don't need to talk directly to anyone for this and your identity will remain confidential

/end ID]

Per StopNCII.org, only their partner sites will remove the images, not “all the places on the Internet”—but that’s better than nothing.

Time to beat the shit outta Grok!

I started playing the first bug game again, now that I finished the second one. And yes, I played a bit around with their designs.
