V and Vrious

I'm arysteia at all of the following (yes, all): dreamwidth, cohost, tumblr, mastodon, countersocial, pillowfort, discord, AO3, pinboard. Literally the only exception is instagram, where I'm therealarysteia. You can find me wherever whenever.

@sweepingexits God, what we were robbed of. Widest possible we.

If only we were watching this handoff these days 😭

@sweepingexits Belated (I only check in here once a week now) but: makes perfect sense - if you know you know.

the "sv" in "svmadelyn" is stirring ...pretend that makes sense

I do most of my fannish and real life personal interaction on discord now, but I'm going to make an honest effort to re-establish a public presence on bluesky (same name). It'll never be here, but maybe it'll be something else. Atque in perpetuum, frāter, avē atque valē.

>> was a cavalcade of information and experience every day. So this is my eulogy for my twelve years on twitter. It was a long time *and* a good time, and I wouldn't change anything that *I* was a part of, but I certainly wish certain other people/parties/things hadn't happened.

I remember back in livejournal days we always used to laugh when someone flounced theatrically, and more recently the quote du jour has been "it's not an airport, you don't have to announce your departure", but I've been on twitter longer now than any other fannish platform >>

@sweepingexits I'm outta here too. See you over there. And I am so sorry, Mads. For everything. ❤️

- on TwitterX because...well, I don't want to be on this platform for what is going to come. I'll still read/check in but I'm gonna try getting the hell out. I'll be on bsky as svmadelyn, and will follow you back. So I guess...THE SIGHTS are real damn bad after all.

I'm surprised how surprised I am. Everything I saw on the ground, everything we saw in Trump's campaign pointed to their defeat. Even Ivanka wasn't hovering, she also thought the chapter was over and maybe it'd be best to dodge more criming. I'm going to be wrapping up things-

@bryoniadioica Perfect. 🤩

@stickmarionette Jeeze, I didn't realise I'd burned through my lifetime allowance of being a foodie fifteen years ago.

@MsCBristow I think I've managed to do so!

@arysteia Thank you! Can you either enable DMs or let me know how to contact you?

Calling #ClassicsTeachers who currently or recently taught / teach the Iliad - including some discussion of Briseis - do you have a few minutes to answer a few questions for me...?

@claredactyl I am Iron Man. *needle drop*

@bryoniadioica 😘😘😘

@BCalStewardess Aw, I miss the old livery. The new black and silver is chic-er I guess, but the teal had a charm of its own.

😊

@bryoniadioica I noticed that 'used' loophole.

@bryoniadioica Not entirely sure I believe you.

@bryoniadioica AO3 user rates inaccurate, Spiders Bryonny is outlier and should not have been counted.
