putting “tasteful” on your impossible geometry nude drawing does not actually render it tasteful

just read the posts which are addressed to you and relax

“fedi search is inevitable” who is using it?? why?? what is the point?? it offers you nothing

i personally do not want that i mean

questioning whether people actually want to view conversations not intended for them and to which they could not contribute without seeming like a creep

i am not yet a furry

you don't have to describe your identity in absolute terms the word “yet” is free

« Naomi parts the shower curtains, and then steps into the relatively warm water with a sigh. Always a great way to start her morning. »

you can't subscribe to #Kabedon fic on AO3 because they are cowards

new kink: ladies named “Guy”

i’ve been meaning to add a section to my website to remind me/others of words i like so that i will use them more, i just haven’t yet

"Don't worry, our cities and laws will protect us!"

#Fandom #Introductions #FandomFriendingMeme

1. How long have you been in fandom?

I’ve been a fan (as in, wrote fanfiction) since circa 2007 but only “in fandom” (as in, communicating with other fans) since 2016 or thereabouts.

2. Which fandoms are you in now?

Typically I identify myself as belonging to “Nintendo fandom” as I have fannish opinions across most #Nintendo franchises and am amenable to crossovers. I actively contribute to #Zelda and #Pokémon, and very occasionally #SmashBros and #FireEmblem.

I’m also very interested in zhiguai and chuanqi, but it’s rare to find people interacting with those stories as fans, as opposed to non-fannish adaptation or academic study.

3. Do you create transformative works (fic, fan art, podfic, etc.)?

Fic primarily, maybe one day some meta/shrines.

4. What was your first fandom?

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the first thing I approached from a decidedly fannish perspective.

5. How often has fic made you cry?

Almost never; most fic is situational drama and if you want to make me cry you need something a little more permanent.

6. Rec a fic that you love!

Make a Wish, Make it Count by LiliansMalice. Probably the best dark fantasy story I’ve read. <https://archiveofourown.org/works/14864093/chapters/34414643>

7. Who's your ult OTP?

Original Pokémon Trainer/Original Pokémon Trainer

8. Share a pic that would convince someone to fall for your current fandom!

9. Have you ever met a fandom friend IRL?

Bold of you to suggest I have fandom friends!

10. What's the last fandom merch or craft you got?

As in something produced by fans? I don’t think the Chainmail Bikini zine is technically in communion but I think it has similar vibes. <http://chainmail-bikini.com>

I don’t really express myself through material culture much so purchasing fannish artefacts is pretty rare for me.

11. Rare pairs, big ships, or gen?

Anything so long as it’s interesting, although if you are writing a big ship and don’t orient yourself critically towards the existing body of work I am liable to get bored.

12. Are you multi-fandom or mono-fannish?

See response to №2, above.

I’ll read fic from fandoms I’m not into if I’m doing research or it comes with a strong recommendation from a friend.

13. When did you last travel for a con, concert, fanmeet, or cupsleeve event?

Never! I don’t leave the house lmao.

14. How did you get into your current fandom?

Writing stories with nerdy friends in class in middle school.

15. What's your favourite trope?

People who are meant to inherit privilege developing solidarity with the wrong (read: correct) people and abandoning The System as a result.

There isn’t a fancy trope title for this and I explicitly do NOT mean a redemption narrative; cf. Vel Sartha in Andor for a contemporary popular example.

16. What are 3 tags that will make you click no matter what?

“no matter what” is a bit of an exaggeration but I’m tempted to click on fics with:

• Religion meta, although I’m usually dissatisfied with it

• Crossdressing, provided there isn’t anything to suggest it is virulently transphobic or whatever

• Lesbian sex (provided it isn’t boringly straight) let’s be real

17. Fav fest you've prompted/read/written for?

Bold of you to suggest my fandom is so organized!

18. Share an upcoming fest you're excited about!

See №17.

19. What's your favourite episode, song, moment, etc. from your current fandom?

In The Princess Who Carries the Blood of the Goddess <https://archiveofourown.org/works/15049127> when the author makes an almost direct comparison between the protagonists fighting to address a growing apocalypse after generations of failure and young climate justice activists in the real world.

Or did you mean in canon? There is nothing of value there lmao.

20. Tag three fandom friends on Masto!

See №9.

“trans in a way which is annoying rather than fulfilling”

also it's exhausting always being the weed

this isn’t entirely true but the new growth (including this mastodon instance) has felt more like a stubborn weed pushing up through the asphalt than anything

which is definitely a form of new life, and a necessary one, but it doesn’t make it any less depressing to see the gardens shrivel and decay

“it feels like things keep dying but nothing new has grown for years”

i need a way to organize my reading list i think

YOU CAN’T JUST ANIMATE ALL PRINCESS CHARACTERS THE SAME WAY

PRINCESSES ARE NON-FUNGIBLE

i watched the mario movie trailer and i cannot stress how much they did not get this character right

they animated her like daisy
