1, 3, 15, 16 for the love for fandom asks :]

List 3 positive things about your current fandom

1. It feels like a cozy and closely-knit community :] When I see someone on the dash + in the main tag there's a good chance I'll recognize them (to the point where I sometimes actually take notice of new talkative folks dropping in) and even know a little bit about them, the characters they like, the headcanons they have, their thoughts about the series, etc. It's cool! And it makes me appreciate the content I see even more when I'm like "Oh it's them!! Hi!" like I'm excitedly waving to a distant neighbour. Of course from fandom events I know twitter would be a whole different ballpark but I'm not on there and never will be <3 so that's ok!

2. It's not as much of a thing anymore, but we had a bunch of really fun polls back when they were still new and exciting and I still remember the autistic + trans tournaments fondly

3. There's a lot of aspec headcanon-ing and acceptance + celebration of those headcanons! I was on tumblr in the late 2010s. That's when I was first getting into fandom, and coincidentally it was also the peak of """ace discourse"""". I didn't trust fandom spaces for a long time after that. Here I can come in swinging saying "Idc if you all think Sho is hot. He does not fuck." and not only have I not caught a single bit of flack for that, turns out quite a few other people hc him as aspec too! And not just him either, I've seen quite a few aspec headcanons floating around out there without anyone tearing them down...it's nice :]

3. A character that fandom has helped you appreciate...Popular pick! I've answered this one before and I'm running out of ideas so I hope you don't mind if I hop on 9. A ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy just to shake it up a little

I'm not much of a shipper myself, but I've warmed up a lot to NekuBeat in the last little while, and as an extension Hachicule. My personal belief is that a Hachiko Gang polycule is good but ONLY if each relationship Neku has is different. One has gotta be a platonic partnership or QPR. One romantic. One utterly incomprehensible and unlableable (vague hand gesture) something or other and no one knows exactly what it is, not even the people involved. Shiki and Beat take turns swinging between the first and second option but Josh always gets to be third.

15. The character that always makes you smile

(LONG SUFFERING SIGH)

...

^This fuckin guy. Bane of my existence. Ruiner of my life. I hate him.

16. Tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate

I'm out of steam so look at him. I think more people should see this screenshot in particular

What the cat doing

#asks #and that's only 200 because I haven't gotten my hands on the one million screenshots I would have saved if I could #A. Put my twewy anime DVD into my DVD slot-less laptop or #B. Sit through the pirated dub #neither of which is happening. so

Any sequel to Like A Butterfly is going to be hilarious I can tell you now because I'm like 80% certain I would not be able to come up with a reason to put the UG and Kongming in conflict, which is the natural thing to do with all these schemers, so instead Kongming is just.

There.

In the background. Existing. Still as inexplicable as he was at the start. Probably per manga spoilers in Kyoto.

So like the entire fic is Joshua joining the Hachicule and the dynamics of that, but we all just casually know it was facilitated by the existence of a randomly reincarnated Three Kingdoms tactician who became a music manager and isn't currently Joshua's problem so it never comes up except in oblique references.

#like a butterfly #writing with regalli #meanwhile Neku’s grappling with his trauma which has nothing whatsoever to do with Kongming #he’d still be dealing with this if Joshua wasn’t there but he’s got another person pushing him again #the most directly Kongming comes up is the scene where Joshua and Sanae look at the poor bastard of a Composer #who’s in charge of Eiko’s hometown and are like ‘here’s all our reports on the subject! here’s a primer on Eastern Han! have fun!’#(no one but Joshua is nosy enough and ridiculous enough and avoiding things enough to learn Eastern Han.)
