#fandom throwback thursday

[superblysubpar]

I know a few people are working hard to get older fics and artworks circulated on Thursdays as a way to bring some positive energy back to the fandom as well as circulate works that seem to slip away.

You know I'm here to reblog always, and trying to spread some positivity in a space that's growing more and more NOT happy? Count me in.

Feel free to use my banner or I know there are some others floating around out there as well. I hope you participate - you could be the reason someone smiles today, how cool is that?

For me, this week I'm reblogging quite a few, and I'm choosing to focus on some fics that bring me an immense amount of comfort. I've been having a tough time lately, and I owe these fics and authors quite a bit more than they may realize. They're listed below, and I hope you give them a chance if you haven't read them yet 💛

ten years after the sealing of the upside-down, you and your fiance steve head to a cookout to unwind during memorial day weekend. with steve on edge after a rough half sleep full of night terrors, you hope the day can be salvaged by seeing the party and just relaxing, but a violent thunderstorm changes those plans for the worse.

Constellations by @loveshotzz

under the stars, you just want steve to kiss you.

We Tried The World by @upsidedownwithsteve

Steve Harrington gazed at you with a shockingly sincere expression, with a little furrow knitted between his brows and he asked you: “D’you wanna run away with me?” The road trip au where you’re trying to find a home.

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow 'Mericans. And since it's also Throwback Thursday, have some funny

Throwback Thursday, Fandom Edition: Fifty Shades of Dollhouse

I have always understood and will always understand why a lot of people didn’t like Dollhouse; it’s a flawed show that still managed to push a lot of my narrative buttons perfectly.  I’m glad that I gave it another chance in 2015, several years after the premiere had failed to impress me, and even though I didn’t find a particularly busy fandom community, I’m still happy with the fic that I wrote, and I had a lot of fun sharing my episode reactions and ideas for crossovers with @ellekess, who had encouraged me revisit the show in the first place.  (My appreciation for Enver Gjokaj, whom I’d recently seen and adored in Agent Carter, also played a part in renewing my interest.)

One of my favorite variations on “what if that character from another fictional universe altogether was secretly an Active?” sprung from a cultural phenomenon that had taken over the world after Dollhouse ended but before I started writing about it.  Although my knowledge of Fifty Shades of Grey was almost entirely secondhand, I knew just enough about Ana Steele’s characterization (or lack thereof) to conclude that if her personality was designed to fulfill a wealthy, controlling douchebag’s fantasy, it would explain a lot.

When Echo and Priya ask Ana if Christian is home, she assumes that they’re his vengeful exes.

If you’ve seen Dollhouse, you might be able to guess that the question is, “Are you ready for your treatment?”

Sir Falspar redraw from 2017 (new left and old *right as throwback Thursday*)

Back in middle school when I was in 8th grade around at age 14 I used to draw a lot of GSA Knights alongside with Steven universe sketches, Kirby OCs and Canon characters sketches, and my OCs. I didn’t have a sketchbook back then but using school notebook as The Secret Sketchbook where I draw characters that no one can see through hehe and I remember being on a school bus where I used to draw a lot of GSA knights But unfortunately I threw away my old sketchbook cause I cringe so hard and regret it but I only had two of my secret sketchbook from early 2017

Anyways moving on being GSA Knights fan had me life changing when it comes to watching Kirby anime series, see people play Kirby games and Falspar being clown soldier being my favorite used to have inspiration of GSA knights when it comes to tumblr and deviantart back then where Google has them up there. I was an only gal in middle school that loves video games, anime and drawing then :)

(If your an artist like me don’t throw your old sketchbook/don’t delete your digital art drawing it was worth of memories)

[superblysubpar]

I love all art, but this style has got to be my favorite. I am a sucker for a little cartoon/a little animated/a little realistic but not totally.

In this particular one, I love their profiles, like each of their noses and jaws are different! As they should be! I love the little scuffs and scrapes and facial hair and Robin's freckles and Nancy's top lip specifically and all of their hair.

Thank you so much for making this and sharing it with all of us 💛

Stranger Things – Upside Down Crew 😉 Nancy, Robin, Steve & Eddie

DCA throwback Thursday beloved! What older Sun and Moon art or writing made you smile or maybe sob into a pillow? There are so many good ones I’m getting nostalgic just thinking about them. Now to find a few to reblog!

Throwback Thursday: Moonlight Becomes You

Moonlight Becomes You (106302 words) by waywardkayoss

Chapters: 23/23

Fandom: Spider-Man (Movies - Raimi), Spider-Man - All Media Types

Rating: Not Rated

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Characters: Otto Octavius, Doctor Octopus, Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, Original Female Character, Original Male Character, Harry Osborn

Additional Tags: Zombies, Magic, tentacle whump, Whump, Supernatural Elements

Series: Part 1 of Smoke & Mirrors

Summary:

To control a monster, you must first control what it loves the most, even if you have to raise the dead to do so. Happy Halloween.

As of this post, this is my longest fic, though another is about to take that title. Written under my old username of LadyKayoss, it was one of those famous "It was supposed to be a one-shot! Well, five chapters at most!" stories before it developed more plot than planned.

It was based around a simple premise: what if Rosie Octavius came back as a zombie? It somehow evolved into so much more (and sadly, Rosie became less zombie than I'd originally planned), becoming more about corporate greed and the lengths CEOs will go to to make money.

I'm very proud of this fic. Not just because it's finished, but because the plot remained coherent, the action sequences were (mostly) decently written, and at one point, I was even churning out chapters once a week! It was an amazing time for me.

Fic Throwback Thursday

Fanfic writers: if there’s an old story of yours that never made it to tumblr, or got buried, or just hasn’t gotten much attention in a while, consider this an invitation to promote it! I would love to see my dash filled with fic recs I missed the first time around. You wrote the words, and you should be proud of them no matter how much time has passed. Add this note to your post, and let’s see how many writers we can get to self-promote!

I’ve been busy and haven’t done one of these in a hot minute, but this seems like a good time to bring back some old season 1 fluff:

On Demons and Hellhounds

Rating: G

Wordcount: 2,175

Summary:

“I’m not rubbing your belly,” said Crowley. Dog blinked at him sadly and gave a little whine. “I’m not! Look at you. You’re supposed to be a terrifying creature of hell, and now you’re out here begging for affection.” Dog cocked his head at Crowley, who glanced back at the cottage. “Hey, no that’s different,” he said, mildly offended at what he imagined the dog had implied. “I just accidentally fell in love, that’s all. You were here for, like, five minutes. What’s your excuse?”

(Crowley becomes more acquainted with Dog, and finds out they have more in common than he expected.)

Oh Pennyverse, how I love you so 🥰

This series is so wonderful!!! Penny is such a fun and fully realised character as she and the family grow bigger. I adore how Eddie is characterised, especially as a young Dad 🥲💖

𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞

(dad!eddie munson and mom!reader as young parents)

more of the penny verse here • eddie edit © @fefemunson!

Summary. . . You admire your new baby girl. warnings: none, just fluff a/n: eddie and reader are about 20 and 21 (i also feel the need to express eddie exhibits Sagittarius traits so i'm thinking he had to have been born in december, kinda close to capricorn cause he looks evil but he's not) and some cuteness before I give you angst with 'Wayne's World'. enjoy! let me know what you think? ◡̈

“So…how you liking it out here?” You asked, propped on your stomach and resting on your forearms.

  Your daughter, only six days old, stared back up at you, small plump lips parted. She still looked so new and a little wrinkly.

  “There’s not a single thought in your adorable little head, is there?” You stroked over her soft hair—she’d come out with a full head of it—mindful of her delicate head and softspot. Penny blinked once, hard, at the gentle caress, but continued to marvel at you, the big brown eyes she’d inherited from her father were so wide that her forehead was squishing up towards her adorable hairline.

  The television was on, more so for background noise as the volume was very low. Eddie was asleep in the bedroom, he’d taken it upon himself to let you get as much rest as possible—always insisting on getting up in the middle of the night to gather Penny when she became fussy. She didn’t do too much, wasn’t all that active yet. If she wasn’t fussing, she was attached to one of your nipples or sleeping. In the four days since you’d brought her home, she hadn’t done a whole lot of sleeping during the convenient times for her new parents. No, she slept during the day and was up all night.  

  Eddie was so good with her, though. Took the screaming like a champ, it was so fascinating to you that she couldn’t produce actual tears yet but it still hurt your heart to hear her cry. He’d just take off his shirt and hold her to his chest, skin to skin seemed to calm Penny down, and you’d pumped enough to have overnight supplies of milk for her when your nipples were too sore to handle Penny’s nursing, though you didn’t mind when he stirred you from sleep to settle Penny against your breast so she could eat.

  That was about the only time Eddie did wake you. Giving birth had drained you, you knew it was gonna be uncomfortable and take a lot out of you but you hadn’t anticipated the lack of energy you’d have in the days following as well, and you hadn’t voiced it but Eddie knew you. Sometimes, you thought he knew you better than you knew yourself.

  It was surprising when you woke before him, feeling well rested instead of drained. You’d quietly gotten out of bed, careful not to wake him, to check on Penny, and for once, she was up at a normal time, too. 

  Eddie looked exhausted, breathing deep as he slept so you decided it was time to start bonding with your baby more. A little mommy-daughter time.

  After changing her diaper and feeding her, you got yourself dressed and ready, put her in a cute little onesie and folded a blanket on the carpet in the living room to lay her down. 

  You hadn’t realized there wasn’t a whole lot to do with a newborn until half an hour had passed with you two staring at each other, really taking each other in. You studied her and while you didn’t think she had a whole lot of brain processing power, you had a feeling she was trying to figure you out, too. As more than just her food source, anyways. Sometimes her stare would go soft, eyelids looking heavy before they were wide open again as if you’d done something to startle her out, it was kind of funny. 

  “You know, you’re pretty cute but you’re kind of boring,” You teased, fingers trailing down her little side until you reached her onesie covered foot and your ovaries cried at how small it was. You pressed your thumb gently just below her teeny tiny toes and like the little alien she was, they curled in on it in a way she probably wouldn’t be able to do in a few months, newborn flexible-ness.

  “All you heard was cute, huh?”

  Seemingly in response, because of course your daughter knew her cues, she was Eddie Munson’s baby after all, she began to suckle on nothing, lips miming the motion. You grabbed her pacifier and held it to her lips, giggling when she mouthed at it until it was settled and she looked content. 

  You beamed down at her, thumb stroking over the pad of her foot before pressing a kiss to it. And since you were kissing her foot you just had to show those chunky (god you wanted to bite them) cheeks some love, pressing your lips noisily and repeatedly against her face.

  Penny let you have your fun, the eye of her cheek you were focused on forced to squint as the chubb of it spread with the pressure of your kisses.

  You’d been expecting her to smell good, a baby survival mechanism to entice people to want to take care of her, but you had no idea how obsessed with it you’d become. You just wanted to bottle the newborn smell up so you could have it forever. Once you were done kissing her face, your nose trailed up her head to sniff at her hair where the scent was the strongest. You inhaled deeply, very much so exaggerated and let out an even more dramatic sigh before you pulled away to look down at her.

  “I’ve never done it, but you’re better than crack,” You swore.

  “Neither have I and I agree.” A raspy voice responded from behind you.

  You rolled onto your side, glancing over your shoulder to see Eddie leaning against the doorway of the bedroom, lips curled into a smile and sleep still lingering in his eyes.

  “You know, it’s really hot when you linger in doorways like that, but it’s also kind of creepy, Eddie.”

  The sleepy look quickly morphed into a mischievous one, “You think I’m hot?”

  “So, that’s what you’re gonna take from that? You already know I think you’re hot. Exhibit A,” You gestured down to his baby you’d popped out less than a week ago. 

  Eddie laughed and joined you on the floor, lips pursed in exaggeration once he was settled. You were all too happy to lean in, pressing your lips firmly against his. It was clear he’d just been expecting a quick peck when he let out a sound of surprise before you felt the curve of his smile which in turn made you smile.

  You felt so doped up on love; you had Eddie, who you thought would be the greatest love of your life, and now you had the baby you two made, proof of your love (an accidental one but still) and also proof that you could be wrong, since she turned out to be the other great love of your life. Despite the late nights, sore nipples and how peeing was somewhat of a chore while your stitches healed, life was bliss.

  “Mmm,” Eddie hummed when you pulled away, eyes still closed and that smile still plastered on his face. Then he groaned, head dropping. “These are going to be the longest six weeks of my life, I just know it.”

  You laughed, pressing a kiss to his cheek before you sat up and carefully lifted Penny. She was so doll-like, ugh, you loved her so much. You turned her in your grasp, a hand cradling the back of her head and neck while your other supported her bottom as you pressed her cheek against yours, the both of you facing Eddie.

  “But isn’t this worth it?” 

  There wasn’t any humor behind the reply he rasped out, his features morphing into the tender expression that always made you feel breathless, like you were important to him, “Yeah. Yeah, it is.”

Throwback Thursday:

This is old art of my Inuyasha OC, daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome named Kiyasha. Like her father, she ages slowly due to her demon blood and has lived in the modern era for over 50 years with her mother's family, waiting for her family to come for her. But they never came. ((story was created for the new inuyasha series was created))

Fandom Throwback Thursday

What are some "old" fanworks you have lurking on hard drives, in abandoned LiveJournals, or have just generally forgotten about? Do you have ancient fics that have survived several site migrations, old sketches, pics of your first cosplay? If so, I wanna see 'em!

My bit of show 'n tell comes from 2010! My main fandom was Transformers.

While decluttering a media cabinet this week, I came across a Transformers (G1) Tracks/Raoul Fanmix I had put together and for which I made a CD label and jewel case insert. Judging by the dates on the file names when I found the originals on an old USB (I originally posted it to LiveJournal on 6/14/2010) I must have put them all together on my EeePC 701 SD netbook. It must have been excruciating working on that tiny screen, but all I can remember is how much fun I had picking songs and printing out the pictures to put in the jewel case.

The files for the inserts and labels are here.
