6. First fic/pairing you wrote for? (If no pairing, describe the plot)

I think it was…either “What to Get the Man Who Has Everything”, which was a Sawyer/OC from Lost fic…which started out as a simple ficlet about a goofy secret Santa between the survivors and turned into a series where my OC existed during the series. I’d watch the episode and go straight to the computer room and type out the next chapter based on the episode…

Or! A Gargoyles fic starring Lexington and another OC, which makes it all the more funnier because the creator of gargoyles has confirmed that Lexington is in fact gay. Whoops. (I should’ve been writing Goliath/Elisa fics anyway…or my ultimate Gargoyles ship which is Demons and Macbeth.

[jessmalia]

Yay! Here’s the 3k celebration like I promised! 💜💫

I’m so excited about this! I have been wanting to do something like this for a while but missed with the last milestones due to neves and procrastination. 

Anyone is open to participate during as few or many days as they want. You can use all three of the days prompts, two of them, or just one—whatever you want. All graphics are eligible, not just gifsets. When you post your creation be sure to either tag me or use my tracking tag #usermalcfoy. All event creations will be reblogged to my main with the tag #3kcelebration. If you miss a day it’s perfectly fine to post it late. I, too, am terrible with deadlines. 

Onto the prompts: 

DAY ONE (Monday, August 7th)

favourite character | quotes/song lyrics | single-color focused

DAY TWO (Tuesday, August 8th)

poster design | comfort | typography

DAY THREE (Wednesday, August 9th)

romantic relationship(s) | parallels | blending

DAY FOUR (Thursday, August 10th)

tropes | favorite film/show | animated effects

DAY FIVE (Friday, August 11th)

platonic relationship(s) | song shuffle | two-color focused

DAY SIX (Saturday, August 12th)

character profile | pride | rainbow palette

DAY SEVEN (Sunday, August 13th)

free choice | free choice | free choice

So looking forward to seeing what you’ll make! Like I said earlier, you can use any combination or just a singular prompt of the days you wanna participate in. If you have any questions don’t be afraid the send me an ask or message! 

Gonna tag some mutuals under the cut! If I tag you absolutely don’t feel pressured to participate if you can’t or don’t want to.

No pressure on this, but I wanted to ask if you'd like to tell me about one of/some of your favorite Christy scenes, and the things you like most about it/them? I can't singlehandedly revive the fandom on here, but it's such a joy to talk over this show with other fans!

I didn't realize until recently how thoroughly the Neil/Christy relationship informed my romantic preferences in all the media and writing I've done since watching it in my teens. Older, scholarly man/younger, determined woman, some kind of angst in the man's past, a need to change things for the better as an intrinsic part of the woman's character, a taboo element that stands in the way of the relationship... Even in the slash pairings I love so much, there's still so many elements of it!

Hey filmmakers, don't think we don't notice that you frame these two with Christy on a step/incline half the time to de-emphasize the height difference...

Oh my, oh my. Okay, first, let's be real. I've been waiting for an ask like this since 1994 (baby Tumblr wasn't even born yet 😂) so get ready for some major Neil/Christy feels that I've been suppressing but also diligently-tending-in-the-background for 30+/- years. THEY. ARE. PERFECT. Top-shelf OTP bottle, for sure. You understand, right? Of course, you do. We've discussed. But yeah, I feel the same way about this show/book/pairing influencing and informing both my writing style and romantic preferences in fiction over the years. Happy to admit it. Yes *raises hand* 1000 times yes. Hello, my name is ladymelodrama, and the fact that CBS so cruelly stole resolution for Neil/Christy from us forever (I'm not counting the PAX movies, I'm just not) is a crime against good television everywhere and will haunt my Christy-loving bones until I'm dead and buried in the ground deep enough so's the critter's can't find me, as Little Burl or Creed Allen would say. Anyway, you asked about Neil and Christy and favorite moments and since I can't just pick one...

I have a proposition to make :) Let's trade fave moments until we run out of them, maybe? No pressure, of course, but this is me mostly unwilling to commit to my Top 5 Scenes until I finish my rewatch, and even then I'll probably change my mind a couple times 😂 But here's one that I'll discuss in detail today and which I like to call the "Will This Do?" scene aka "and then they both smiled their little smiles at each other and lived happily ever after. The end." <3

(Credit to @heatherfield for this gif, and bless you, friend, for continuously shipping the same pairings as me - makes my gif-hunting so much easier haha <3)

So why do I love this scene so much? Oh, you know. Margret's dress. Objectively, it's gorgeous (the woman had style, even if she had no heart). And hey, it only coded Neil/Christy as endgame from the first episode, no big deal. Plus it was one of the softest moments in the whole show and THE WAY THEY SMILED AT EACH OTHER. Ugh. Soffffffft. I'm mean, you're seeing this too, right? ;) Meanwhile, I'm sure David is over here in the corner...doing what David does best XD Lurking. Always lurking.

(and, based on the pic I chose, maybe taking notes on how to have better chemistry with Christy? - "Dear Diary, Neil MacNeill is kinda the worst, have I mentioned?" 😂) But in all seriousness, what I love about that scene (and the exchange of smiles, in particular) is how there's an honest-to-goodness, my-spirit-just-spoke-to-your-spirit bit of humanity happening there. I die for those moments, little and quiet as they may be. It's just so...SOFT. They don't know each other yet. Not really. There's no romance at play (other than what I assume might be mutual physical attraction, even if Christy would never let herself go there. Not on her first days in the Cove) so it's more a budding friendship that we're seeing and friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite things? (Jorleesi, Jisbon, Siegfried/Audrey, Obidala, Red Cricket, Dickon/Mary much?). I also really enjoy when she comes down the stairs looking all pretty-in-lavender with her hair down (still lolling at your comment on that detail btw because...c'est vrai 😂) and "Oh no, David, it's so late...how will we ever get to Lufty Branch in time?" "Not we, Christy." (exactly, David, you're getting it). Too bad she has to spend all afternoon in this rustic cabin with a plaid-shirted, barrel-chested, brogue-speaking, moody mountain man with inside pain for dayssssss. Oh the everlasting horror XD

So yeah, so much to love about this scene (and the entire convo in the cabin afterwards and him plucking her from Theo prior to the whole dress thing - guy helps girl down from horse = I'm in love 😍). To witness the very beginning of their arc (okay, Part II of the beginning, but the doctor was busy with brain surgery during Part I, so you know what I mean) and to have the actors play it so, so beautifully and in an Appalachian setting that's just misty and magical and to die for all by itself... Mmmm *chef's kiss* Your turn, @darsynia <3
