[Add Intro Here].
You can call me Eryth, Mr President, Madam President or whatever name takes your fancy. Currently, I write for a living. I came up with this username when I was a teenager, but I don't have the motivation to create a new account with a different name note .
If this page had a scent, it would be a cup of Earl Grey with a dash of milk, pistachio biscuitsnote , a burning wood fire, and a hint of Poison Girl eu de toilette.
I'm happy to answer any biology related questions. I have an MSc in Microbiology. My personal belief is that you should know the rules before breaking them.
I recently drafted and launched Artistic Licence – Anatomy. Licence is spelled correctly.

Tropes I Like
- Artistic Licence – Biology: I can switch my brain off and enjoy the technobabble despite knowing it's inaccurate. However, my MST3K Mantra only goes so far.
- BFG: Big. Fucking. Gun.
- BFS: Big. Fucking. Sword.
- Bilingual Backfire: It can be Played for Laughs and Played for Drama. A great, versatile trope.
- Calming Tea
- Malaproper: There's something funny about deliberately getting your birds waddled.
Tropes I Don't Like
- Actor Shipping: I draw the line at shipping real people who are still alive.
- Harem Genre: They are rarely executed well. And the ones that are executed well are just not for me.
- MRS Degree: While there are people that do further education for the sole purpose of finding a spouse, this trope soured on me when someone accused me of doing the same.
- Real-Person Fic: Only exception is Crack Fic involving politicians.
- Reality TV: A lot of the shows of that genre that were popular when I was growing up tended to be exploitative and mean-spirited.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: I see it as a lazy way of portraying a character as intelligent. I do like it if it's used to show a character is Dumber Than They Look. Personally, I believe that true understanding of complex ideas is achieved when you can explain it to a layman.
- Shipping Goggles: I'm guilty of this sometimes, but I've learned that platonic relationships are as good (or better) than conventional shipping.
- Wall of Text: Please, I'm begging you, think about your formatting if you're going to write something long.
Tropes I Think Apply or Applied to Me
- Blade On A Stick: A (blunted) lance was my weapon of choice when I did medieval re-enactment.
- Brits Love Tea: Some stereotypes exist for a reason. However, coffee and hot chocolate are just as good as tea.
- Did Not Do the Bloody Research: Found out the hard way that some slang in UK English turned out to be slurs in US English. I stopped using those words the moment I found out.
- Dork in a Sweater: I use This Very Wiki and I like jumpers. If I don't want to make my own, store bought will do.
- Gratuitous German: Studied Deutsch at A Level, and I liked to remind people of that.
- Hidden Buxom: I like to wear jumpers and loose-fitting clothing unless I'm going out out. Friends and colleagues have commented on this.
- I Am Very British: I was accused of being posh while I was in the town I've lived in my whole life. It's not my fault I don't talk like a chav.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: During my re-enactment days I carried a shield that was almost as big as myself.
- Mandela Effect: I always read Aluminum Christmas Trees as Aluminium Christmas Trees, and thought the latter was more prevalent.
- The Night Owl
- Pink Product Ploy: My toolset is bright pink so any handyman that borrows it is less inclined to steal it.
- Textile Work Is Feminine: Due to an event where I was stuck at home for months, I learned to knit, crochet and embroider. Prior to that, I learned to sew so I could make the clothes I wore to medieval re-enactment battles.
- White Mage: When I worked as a cashier for a supermarket, a customer asked me if I was a white witch as the supermarket's gacha system gave them their shopping for free. If I am one, I probably give passive luck buffs.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: I'm pretty fearless most of the time. The only exception is when I'm somewhere high up.
Unusual Things I Own
- A copy of the DS game Mind Quiz, which was recalled in my country for calling its player an ableist slur if they did poorly.
- A 12th Century-style shield
