this is blanket permission for anyone to translate, podfic, or remix any of my fanworks, given certain caveats. i would prefer you to credit my work in cases of heavy inspiration, and i request that relationships i depict as platonic stay platonic in any sort of heavily inspired remix.
consider any original fiction or nonfiction work of mine to be licensed as cc by-nc-sa.fandom $ cat fannish_facts.txt
my ao3 username is kernsing. i participate mostly in transformative fandom, and i appreciate the work of analytical and curatorial fandom. i tend to gravitate toward familial, friendly, and other nonromantic relationships. coyote’s essay on unshipping is my fandom manifesto. i also adore fictional cultures and politics, especially of the science fiction and fantasy variety.
my transformative works are complicit in death of the author, fandom, and canon. i like my fandom experience served minty.fandom $ cat fandoms_affiliations_characters.txt
the following list is in alphabetical order. fandoms that i am currently more active in are bolded.
fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood and manga
* characters: riza hawkeye & roy mustang
genshin impact
* affiliations: mondstadt
* characters: kaeya alberich & diluc ragnvindr
* notes: it’s my informed opinion (i.e., i consulted a native speaker heavily about the matter) that kaeya’s stories are not mistranslated and he and diluc are indeed canonically adoptive brothers; i used to engage in “discourse” around this matter but now i am just tired, so just ignore me if you think i am wrong and i will ignore you.
good omens
* characters: aziraphale & anthony j. crowley
* notes: i enjoyed the show, but i liked the book better.
hetalia
* characters: alfred f. jones & arthur kirkland
* notes: these are my trash faves from my first trash fandom. arthur holds a special place in my heart because he was the first character i ever headcanoned as aro or ace. i hadn't even heard of asexuality back then.
in color (glowfic amenta)
* affiliation: green
* character: aitim neli
the left hand of darkness
* characters: genly ai & therem harth rem ir estraven
les misérables
* characters: cosette & jean valjean
marvel
* affiliations: civil war team regulating superheroes good, infringing civil rights bad, and avengers found family ftw
* characters: loki & thor odinson, peter parker & tony stark
notes: including the mcu and loki: agent of asgard.
omniscient reader’s viewpoint
* affiliations: zarathustra
* characters: kim dokja & yu junghyeok, kim dokja’s company, anna croft
* notes: begging for people to come talk to me about aro kim dokja, dokja & junghyeok as a friendship/qpr, or anna croft in general. i have never before loved a background character that shows up like three times in canon like i love anna croft.
rwby
* character(s): all of oz’s incarnations
* notes: have not watched volume seven or onward yet.
star wars
* affiliations: the jedi order, the republic
* characters: obi-wan kenobi & anakin skywalker

the monochrome profile image i use on some social media accounts is a photo i took of the ginza bricktown display in the edo-tokyo museum. the picture of the moon i sometimes use as a background or header is an edited version of a photo taken by alexander andrews on unsplash. other pictures you might see me using would be art i have drawn.
