#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 💛

She's Gonna Save Me by @chechelia

"between working at the shop and taking care of maeve, eddie hasn’t done anything for himself in over fourteen months. he’s trying to change that."

When It Rains by @sweetsweetjellybean

When a storm moves over Hawkins, your neighbor stops by to check on you.

always something there to remind me by @carolmunson

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.

One thing about me is that if I read your fic and I enjoyed it, I'm never gonna forget it, it's written into the fabric of my being. Words etched into my DNA.

Jo signing out for this Fandom Throwback Thursday. Next week, even more of my loves to be showered with my undying fealty.

[bettyfrommars]

Thanks for that very nice TBT reblog. I'm glad those boys managed to stick with you.

oh hell yes Need to Know stuck with me! I had only been active in this fandom for maybe two months when I read it, and it was the perfect mix of filthy and tender and Steve being 🫠🫠. There a few of yours I need to revisit, actually.

Telling someone to skip eccleston straight to tennant is like telling someone to just eat the icing and not even bother with the cake. Kindergarten levels of hubris and foolishness

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)

Throwback Thursday, Fandom Edition: Vampires of London

The Magnusquerade is an AU, created by NevillesGran and Listless_Songbird, in which all of the Fear Avatars in The Magnus Archives are vampires, with a variety of different powers depending on which Fears they serve in canon.  Eye vampires can read minds and manipulate memories, Corruption vampires can command vermin, Vast vampires can fly, and so on.  In this world, the Archives staff were first Elias’s thralls, and then became Jon’s after Elias turned him.  All of the titles consist of corporate jargon.

After reading an almost incidental line in an early fic, Management Skills With Regard To Attempted Homicide, I thought, “I know exactly how this scenario would play out!” and the author gave me permission to write that scenario when I asked.  It was one of those ideas that would not leave me alone until I put it on paper.

I posted Encouraging Employee Initiative on October 2, 2019.  Since then, I’ve written or co-written 25 more fanworks in this universe, more than half of my TMA fic output to date, and totaling almost 58,000 words.  One of those stories connected me with @amusedmuralist, who’s now among my closest online friends, and we’ve spent many, many hours discussing possible storylines for the vampires at the Magnus Institute and beyond.  A few other amazing writers have contributed to the AU as well.  The Magnusquerade gave me the opportunity to play with my favorite telepathy and mind control tropes – and to write Elias as even more of a Manipulative Mentor Figure than he is in the show – without worrying about whether I was being too self-indulgent.  I hope that everyone is able to experience this kind of creative and collaborative joy at least once in their fannish lives.

Contributions to this AU – including my own – have slowed over the last year.  I still hope to return to it at some point, but even if I don’t, it’s still one of the best things that’s happened to me in this, and maybe any, fandom.

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!

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.)

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.

Left side was Nonsurat with flowers, crystals and a halo before got her into pearls (her pearls are smt like an accessory) and right was a gijinka version without their mask/helmet before final look as KRBAY gijinka sketches at first I used to dislike how they look with the mask and helmet but as soon I got comfy to draw them with helmet and mask on human version I like.
