Consider this my intro post. The name's Kennie, but some of y'all might know me as Fata or FSO. Born in '99, they/them.
You-Know-Who buying out Twitter was the kick in the pants that finally got me to make an acc on this site, after pondering it once when Tumblr's tiddy ban took effect, and then after pondering it again when seeing a lot of folks on one of my Discord servers having accs on here. Plus, I've been looking for a little repository-type space to dump all my creative content without being limited by algorithms or risking coming into contact with folks I know IRL. Probably might actually start posting on a regular basis instead of just lurking like I do with my other socmed/etc. accounts.
I'm on AO3 at FSO_Studios, Tumblr at fata-sidvs-oritvr, YouTube at FSO, and Mastodon (Aethy, Blorbo Social) at eff_ess_oe. My main creative focus is writing, although I also craft, draw, and make music and videos from time to time.
STUFF I LIKE
My main fandoms:
- Ace Attorney (incl. PyWright fangames)
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (mostly parts 1-6)
- Metal Gear
- Vocaloid/UTAU/other vocal synths
- RPG maker horror
- Nu:Carnival
- Heavy metal (usually Nuclear Blast/Napalm Records-type bands)
Lesser fandoms:
- Inscryption
- Undertale/Deltarune
- Your Turn to Die
- Mega Man (mostly X, but also Classic and ZX to some extent)
- Metalocalypse
- Nintendo
- Will Wood/and the Tapeworms (as well as associated works like The Prescription and Camp Here & There)
- Devil May Cry
- Sonic the Hedgehog (gameverse, Underground)
IMPORTANT NOTE
Ship and Let Ship, Don't Like/Don't Read, and Your Kink is Not My Kink And That's OK are in full effect here. (I mean, Dreamwidth veterans might already expect this, but folks in my generation kinda dropped the ball and made socmed fandom the hellscape that it is.) I do have quite a few squicks when it comes to taboo subjects, but I don't go around calling people who like them abusers/pedos/whatever buzzword of the week QFanon latches onto. I do my best to tag and warn, so please heed my warnings when I give them.
Thinking deeply about another tunglr post
Jan. 20th, 2026 09:54 pmSo today while scrolling in the break room I came across this post on how part of the process of becoming a good writer is learning how to appreciate the mechanisms of writing, which OP separates from the actual content of the story. This not only encompasses shit like making decisions about sentence structure and word choice, but even the very act of sitting down to touch one's pen and paper/keyboard/writing app/etc.
And as I read it, I thought about all the fics that I've written that I personally find subpar even after rereading them numerous times. And what do these fics tend to have in common? I found that they were kind of a slog to actually write, like I didn't have enough motivation to sit and write them even though I was digging the plot/charas/tropes/etc. Which goes back to what OP was saying about how people who don't appreciate the mechanics of writing tend to be poorer writers. Since I was less invested in the mechanics of writing, I put out work I found to be lower-tier, or something along those lines.
But then OP said that if one doesn't enjoy writing something, they don't have to actually *write* it. Rather, they can draw it, animate it, speak it out loud, or use some other creative means. (OK, the speaking out loud example was the only one they actually put, but you get the idea.) Which got me thinking in two directions at once.
For the first direction, I kept mentally coming back to a comment I received a few years back, saying I wrote the piece in question like "a web animation". Now, I've talked about this before, but that initial comment combined with the Tumblr post I'm talking about here made me think about once again how a reason (not *the* reason, but one of them) why I write is that I can't really draw. Or at least, I can't draw as polished enough as a lot of fanartists I follow. So I tend to translate a lot of my ideas into writing, even though on some level they'd be more suitable as a drawing or some other visual media. And it's that mismatch that makes me less keen on the mechanics of writing for some of my works.
But in terms of the second direction, I also started thinking about my more recent stuff that I enjoyed the process of creation for, and a big part of that is probably because they relied on less traditional "writing" structures. Rift of the Neighbor-Posting was the one that came to mind the most, but Still, My [[Bait]] Draws You Near was also up there.
So I guess my takeaways are either: start buckling down and appreciating the actual writing process, or branch out and do more creative work that doesn't involve traditional "writing". Both of which might be easier said than done, but if I nail them, then im gonna be a better and happier creator than what I used to be. hell yeah. Or something

obligatory year end post thingamabob.....
Dec. 31st, 2025 08:50 pmEverybody does these. I have done them ever since being on Dreamwidth in 2022. I'm doing one again. Here goes.
( year end review/future plans )
( year end review/future plans )
So this is the first time I’m gonna be doing an “explainer”/extended author’s note/commentary type thing for fics I write. Might do more of these in the future if I feel like the fic is dense enough, had enough thought put into it, or has a lot of refs that people might not be able to recognize. Most of it’s gonna be the latter for this round. Gonna take it roughly chapter-by-chapter, so hit the relevant section cut if you wanna skip to a particular one.

So YouTube announced they're gonna be pulling some bullshit. Basically, they're gonna comb through people's watch history and use an AI to guess if they're underage, and hit people they deem "underage" with a bunch of restrictions. And the only way to correct the algorithm is to either upload ID, credit card info, or a picture of your face. All of which have MASSIVE privacy issues associated with them.
I cannot imagine this going well at all. I figure a decent amount of people are going to get falsely hit with the underage restrictions just because they have interests in adulthood that aren't taxes and war history or whatever the hell normie adults watch. And I don't know if the backlash will be enough to set YouTube on the right path again. (Although then again, they haven't been on the "right path" for a hot fuckin minute. Not since Google bought them out in '13 or whatever.)
- Odysee/Bitchute/etc.: full of alt-right whackjobs
- NicoNico/Bilibili/etc.: language barrier, feeling like I'm "invading" spaces intended for people whose native language isn't English
- Glomble: the most "tolerable" option I've seen so far, but I just don't like the vibe. Feels too much like most of the people on there would skin me alive for looking at certain pairings the "wrong" way.
- PeerTube: another "tolerable" option, but I don't know if there's any fandom-specific instances, and I don't really wanna go off-brand for pre-existing instances
IDK, man. I figure if I get minor-coded (pun semi-intended) by the YouTube age verification AI, I'm gonna upload my jinrikis to NicoNico and everything else to Vimeo, Glomble, or PeerTube. But if not, then I might stay there? Idk. If I do stay, I'm probably just gonna put all my shit on unlisted so only you guys can have access to it. We'll just have to see how shit goes.

Not since Google bought them out in '13 or whatever.)
So as a result of all this bullshit, I'm once again considering YT alternatives for when I upload fannish video material. However, all of them have some sort of barrier keeping me from joining:
- Vimeo/Dailymotion/etc.: nobody seems to upload the type of stuff i actually watch on YouTube; it's mostly independent film material that I don't really watch- Odysee/Bitchute/etc.: full of alt-right whackjobs
- NicoNico/Bilibili/etc.: language barrier, feeling like I'm "invading" spaces intended for people whose native language isn't English
- Glomble: the most "tolerable" option I've seen so far, but I just don't like the vibe. Feels too much like most of the people on there would skin me alive for looking at certain pairings the "wrong" way.

i think i have a problem.
Jun. 26th, 2025 06:59 amOver the weekend: starts putting one of the "PDVR Main Stage trio goes on Mr. Ant Tenna's TV Time" ideas to paper, leaves it hanging
Two days ago: starts drafting up a fic where Tenna gets his innards cleaned out by a Shadowguy (not intentionally sexual at first, but becomes sexual later on), leaves THAT hanging
Yesterday: starts visualizing a scene where Spamton is decked out in nothing but spiky bandoliers and a loincloth, holding up the Broken Sword atop a mountain at dusk with a leather-bikini-clad Tenna clinging to his leg, thinking I should get out the paint and canvas for it, hasnt started on it yet
Someone stop me before I get more ideas.

lil fun weekend roundup~~
Jun. 22nd, 2025 07:49 pmThis is where I'd put my recount of CitrusCon... IF I REMEMBERED TO PREREG BEFORE CLOSING!! Yeah. Stupid me thought they'd preregistered months in advance, only to be told otherwise by both Eventbrite and the event mods when I emailed them. So yeah, I didn't make it. I fully understand why the no-same-day-prereg thing is in effect, but it kinda stings. Blehh.
But whatevs. I had a ton of time on my hands, so I decided to do a lot of shit around the house. I did a decent amount of outdoor work, weeding in the cracks in our firepit/patio area and helping my mom put up curtains for the gazebo on our deck. Also did a lot of cleaning/reorganizing of my desk drawers, makeup supplies, and jewellery. Alsoalso did a ton of laundry. And finally, I painted over a box that I'd been keeping my charger cords in, so I could sticker it up easier and not have it aesthetically clash with the original design that was on the box.
(and I also filled out orders for merch from two of the artists doing CitrusCon despite not actually going. I love copium~~~)

Mad With Power Livestream 2025 Roundup
Jun. 8th, 2025 06:02 pmSo over the weekend I watched the livestream for Mad With Power, a NWOTHM/power metal/VGM festival that's held in Madison, Wisconsin. Now, considering the way things have been in the States, I do not want to travel there in person. Fortunately, the organizers have been kind enough to livestream the whole thing. And like I said earlier, I was there for all of it. So I'm gonna spill my thoughts under the cut.

How well do y'all know me??
Apr. 19th, 2025 09:02 pmSo my servermates have been putting out these little 10-question quizzes where we grill each other on various bits of personal lore. So naturally I had to do one for myself. And now I'm subjecting y'all to it. Go ahead and see how much Obscure Kennie Knowledge you have.

Once again I find myself binge-listening to this song. This one comes from a rock opera adaptation of Dracula, although I've been too lazy to listen to the whole thing. Maybe I should. But anyway, this song is perfect drag king routine material. If I had the performing confidence I'd definitely do something like that, but once again, I'm too lazy for that shit.

So the other day, I was listening to Crimson Glory (the '80s USPM band). All the while, I was doing a bit of research on the members, and I came across a fansite in honor of their late frontman "Midnight". On this site, there was a section dedicated to people who knew him IRL sharing their favorite memories of him. And one of them caught my attention.
According to the runner of this fansite, Midnight and two other people operated an official forum dedicated to his solo project as well as some other Crimson Glory side acts. But the way to get to this forum was pretty unique. Rather than being taken right to this forum, one would have to play through this photo-gallery-meets-point-and-click game where you'd have to click specific locations on the photos in order to advance. Thinking this kind of setup would be interesting to play through, I took to archive.org to try and play through what was archived. Obviously, the archived site is very incomplete. But I was able to make it through a bare-bones route and reach what remained of the forum without any trouble. (and I don't know if this is a bug in the archiving or some sort of weird rickroll by the forum admins, but if I try to click any of the threads in the forum itself, archive.org auto-redirects me to some bizarro "Sexy Mandarin" vid on YT. Idk. I'm starting to get off topic.)
So anyway, this little experience got me thinking about the modern web and how the tools in place for most websites don't let people build fun little games into their personal websites unless they can Code Good. Then again, I feel like it wouldn't be that difficult for someone to code a photo gallery point-and-click maze into their personal site. Only thing is, though, what if someone hid their DNI in it and chewed people out for not being able to find it before interacting with them on socmed? That'd be fucked up.
Anyway, this kinda shit is why I love the early Internet even though I didn't really use these kinda sites that much as a kid. And why I will forever have a grudge against modern tech giants for stifling this kind of creativity.

...because the devs announced a new (and very definitely final) entry in the series. After over 7 years since the last one. And judging from the demo footage I stayed up till midnight last night watching, it looks like it's gonna be bigger and better in scope than the last ones.
...it's Five Nights at Fuckboy's. Five Nights at Fuckboy's is getting a new entry. The cracky, 2010s-humor-laden, sex-joke-and-swear-word-laden debauchery-fest made in RPG Maker is getting a new entry in the year of our Lord 2025. Although once again judging from the demo, it looks like the devs have updated their sense of humor somewhat? Or at least gone a little lighter on it, considering the bigger scope of the game. Or maybe they've matured over the years. And it's probably the latter, because going thru their Gamejolt page, I found a really well-written piece of meta about the design philosophy behind golden-age RPG Maker games, kusoge, and the indie landscape in general during the early to mid 2010's.
So anyway, I'm adding Q.E.D. to my to-play list once it hits. And in the meantime, I'm gonna have to get cracking on the backlog of Stuff I Already Have Installed. Which is only one game for now... but one with three constantly-updating routes. Hoo boy.
(Edit 09/15/25: well. Never mind, then. Apparently the game got cancelled because people are trying to suck the lead dev into some kind of drama, and they decided the best course of action was to leave the Internet entirely. Which sucks because I was genuinely excited for this game, but I suppose people's personal safety comes first. Ah well. Wherever they end up, I wish them the best.)

Can't believe it's 20 fuckin 25. Sci fi dystopia ass year. Praying it doesn't actually become one (at least, not in my neck of the woods). But we're gonna put that aside and focus on more positive stuff. So here we go...
( [SHIT I DID] )
( [SHIT I WANNA DO MORE OFTEN] )
( [SHIT I WANNA START DOING] )
Finally, I know I should've put this in the "Shit I wanna do more often" section, but I wanted to leave this out of a cut so ppl could read it without clicking any links. This is IMPORTANT. (or maybe not in the grand scheme of things, but oh well.) I wanna start posting on DW more often. I mean, I post fairly often on Blorbo.social (which y'all should totes follow me on if you're on the Fediverse), but this is better for more long winded diatribes. Or maybe even shorter diatribes. Idk. But either way I wanna post more updates about my life, back up more fics, maybe do some community posts if I find anything worth sharing. So expect me here more often? I dunno. Only time will tell. Anyway, happy new yonks, and peace out~~~

It's another full album y'all~~
So I had dipped my toes into Kalmah in late high school, but I only got as far as listening to and liking 2 songs off of Swampsong before never thinking much of them for a while... until about 2 years ago, when I delved a bit deeper into their discography because I was trying to make a gimmicky playlist where each song shared a title or otherwise correlated with a card or boss from Act 1 of Inscryption. And the song I'd chosen to represent The Angler was Kalmah's "Hook the Monster".
Fast forward to present day, and I ended up deleting the playlist because I gave up on trying to fill it out. But I did remember "Hook the Monster" being in it, and so I set out to relisten to it because my scrippy hyperfix was coming back. Then I decided to listen to the entire album it came from, and I can safely say it's on my "to get a physical copy of" list. Great shit.
Standout tracks: "Rust Never Sleeps", "One of Fail", "Swampwar", "Better Not to Tell", "Hook the Monster", "12 Gauge"

Then I decided to listen to the entire album it came from, and I can safely say it's on my "to get a physical copy of" list. Great shit.
Standout tracks: "Rust Never Sleeps", "One of Fail", "Swampwar", "Better Not to Tell", "Hook the Monster", "12 Gauge"
