#i can't tag this klance can i

[thaliagrayce]

i've been talking abt my voltron playlists and @iveofficiallygonemad asked to hear them and i want to share with anybody who wants!! i know they're not perfect, i'm working on them & trying to make them better. if you have any recommendations for any of them, let me know!! there's like A Lot and i want to give a lil explanation for most of them, so i'm putting them under the cut ^-^

SO first i have my favorite one <3 it's just. all of them. it's the whole team. it's a mess and it's a bunch of different genres because it's them fighting over the aux cord on a road trip. it's them trying to make each other laugh or annoy each other or play something catchy enough it will infect everyone in the vicinity with brain worms.

Hunk: i'm pretty happy with my Hunk playlist! chill vibes. he strikes me as the kind of guy who listens to calm music to try to find his own calm, and that's what i got here :)

Pidge: this is messier and less cohesive than my usual playlist because frankly i think pidge would have a shit taste in music. all over the board. this is a mix of meme songs and 8-bit covers and vocaloid and stuff that i think pidge would genuinely connect with, and i think pidge listens to all their music on shuffle without any regards for genre or mood because they're a gremlin. nobody gives pidge sole control of the aux.

Coran hears 80's music for the first time and loses his mind. He thinks ABBA is humanity's single greatest achievement.

Lance: i have ideas about where I'm going with this but haven't really settled yet. Lance seems like the kind of boy that loves to dance (is that canon? i forgot) so most of these are Bops That Make You Move in some way or another. he likes to present an upbeat face to the world, so there's no angsting in this playlist! we are clinging to the things that make us happy with both hands until our knuckles turn white!

Keith: i'm gonna be honest. i made him a playlist but i honestly don't think he cares about music very much. it's very important to some people! he's just not one of them! i haven't cracked this playlist open in a while but i'm pretty sure it's full of songs that i think he would conceivably train/work out to.

Shiro: this playlist involves the dumbest headcanon i have for shiro that has just not left me alone since i first thought of it. most of the playlist reflects the fact that he had an emo phase in middle school (that one isn't a headcanon, you just have to look at him to know) but BUT there are a few songs on here that are on here because. little known fact. he also went through a Twilight phase that he told nobody about. (keith knows. keith was there.) he has the entire twilight soundtrack memorized. he moved past the story but the music stays forever. he used to daydream about slow dancing to Flightless Bird, American Mouth. the first time Coran mentions that they have to avoid a place because there's a supermassive black hole there, he has to bite his tongue in order to keep a straight face. do NOT ask me why i believe this so wholeheartedly.

Allura's playlist sucks right now. I think it's because in my heart of hearts i know that, were she on earth today, she would go fucking nuts for taylor swift. i have ambivalent feelings for taylor swift. i cannot do allura justice like this. if you see my vision and have recs as to what might actually fit her, PLEASE.

Klance: i haven't done it yet but i'm gonna go through this and sort it to be a sort of progression of their relationship, starting with the more combative Rivalry songs, then slipping into "oh shit oh shit" songs, then maybe ending on the more lighthearted purely romantic songs <3

(i have two songs in a shallura playlist which does not at all encapsulate how much i'm obsessed with them. the tiny cop inside my head is just constantly screaming at me that i'm going to get yelled at for liking shallura. i am going to kill the cop inside my head.)

[bkbs-art]

PSA - PLEASE be wary about that AI generated Klance piece going around. It genuinely sucks that that image got so much traction. I don't think people have realised because the tags here get hidden, but the 'artist' has tagged it as ai assisted. All but two pieces in their gallery on twt is a mockery of the true art op is actually capable of.

This artist genuinely draws wonderfully but gave in to ai slop. Please check the tags of what you're reblogging and liking, AI works are a serious drag: it's got environmental issues and it's art theft. (Poster mentioned in tags)

I hate the idea of a call out post, but we absolutely do NOT need AI in fandom. I don't care if this is considered rude or unkind. Understand how this impacts so many people.

Don't harass the poster - just unlike, unfollow, unreblog and block them before moving on.

To the poster: your traditional art is LOVELY! I can't understand why you put your wips into a generator, it changes it completely, it takes away everything that's youand turns into into someone else piece. That someone else's style is stolen, and everything about this is lazy and unethical. You are literally better than this.

Please share this post as far as you can

[mimiri22-6]

Ok guys, I'm gonna say something controversial so buckle up

Adam = Keith

Shiro = Lance

I take no criticism but I will take comments and questions.

I spent an actual hour writing in the tags. Holy shit I did Not mean for that to happen O_O

I can connect SO many parallels between Lance and Shiro, but I can't connect that many parallels between Shiro and Keith. Personality wize. Sorry, I just really wanted to make this because holy shit idk how it happened but I could have sworn this was universal and then they killed Adam and then everyone started making Adam the jokester between him and Shiro. Like, with what little screentime Adam got I could have sworn, I don't think he smiles. Like, that is not the Lance parallel between klance and shadam (i don't remember their ship name) this is just how it is. I could have sworn Shiro was the type of leader/person that could crack a joke, a dad joke, and lift the crew's spirits just by entering the room. Keith had to pull his own teeth to even get a motivating speech out. Yes yes it was his first time leading, but who was leading Keith through his blind anger episodes? Lance. The right hand man. The leader behind the leader. Lance was the Leader in the first fucking episode at the Garrison!!

☝️AND another point I just remembered, Shiro was the heart of the team before he 'died' he was the bridge for Keith, Pidge and Allura into the team. After he's gone, Lance is the bridge for the Entire team. The glue. The Heart of Voltron. He has a connection with every crew member. Maybe the least with Allura but he was constantly ready to be open with her. His door was open to her to have deeper conversations as shown in that one scene where she identifies his bayard as an altean broadsword. Keith? He left the team for a really long time, especially on his end. 'Keith what is Pidge's favorite band/food/color???'😳🤨🤔🤷 There's a reason there are So many fanfics of Lance leaving/getting kidnapped/dying and the crew falling apart. Sometimes not to the point of total collapse but enough for a noticeable strain stiffness and loose seams.

Like when Shiro vanished.

*sigh* this post started because i remembered the era of black paladin Lance and come across a tiktok along the lines of 'lancestans: he should have been the black paladin. hes a punching bag for the creators. hes a sad boi. he had so much set up. ect. (so on and so forth. I forget the rest) *cut to shiro* what about him, the real tortured, punching bag for the writers?' and I gotta be honest, that tiktok set this whole thang off.

I could go On and On And On! I have so many more examples, but I don't have the time for a 30pg essay rn. PLEASE ask me about my Lance and Shiro parallels/black paladin Lance reasonings! I wanna ramble about my boi touching the stars! 🤩

(also I get it w Keith, sometimes a leader is someone that learns to be one before they even want to be one, but also 1)Lance has wanted this forever 2)Lance is already close with everyone, he's an extrovert(not that introverts can't be leaders, I'm an introvert and I know all about introvert leaders) 3)Lance and Shiro get hurt the most, but still have that calming effect, wether you wanna admit it or not, Lance has those vibes)

fic rec friday 56

hello and welcome to fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

Shiro's Skunk Hair Steals Lance's Boyfriend by @bleusarcellewrites

Lance nods, eyes scanning Keith’s face slowly, “I gotta ask, though, do you come here often?” Keith snorts, fondness for this dumbass making his heart to beat faster. “Charming as always, I see.” “I can show you ‘charming’.” Lance says, eyebrows wiggling in a suggestive manner and while the others groan behind them at the line, Keith just smiles. “But before that, I’m a man of honor and I gotta know: are you single?” Keith blinks at the question and suddenly he's laughing. [Or the one where Lance can't hold his alchohol and Keith gives up a Cuddle Night of his boyfriend to be flirted by said boyfriend just for his boyfriend to forget he was already his boyfriend. It's a mess but Keith wouldn't want it any other way.]

yall remember bleusarcelle...remember 2018.....crazy times. anyway. this fic is fun and sweet and dorky, nice to read when you want to forget how bad vld dropped the ball and ruined everything :))

2. Your Love Keeps Me Warm by crystalklances

Keith is giving him a look, contemplating, eyebrows drawn together. Noticing his gaze, Lance looks up, raising an eyebrow. “Are you cold?” Keith asks after a moment of a silent staring contest. “No,” Lance replies. “You should’ve said something.” “I just said I’m not—” But Keith doesn’t listen. Already, he’s shrugging out of his red varsity jacket, and he leans over to drape it around Lance’s shoulders. ---- Or, 4 times Keith is determined to prevent Lance from getting sick, and the time Lance catches a cold after all.

I MISS CRYSTALKLANCES EVERY DAY, BRO. no one got ridiculously soft modern au keith like he did. fuck. but at least most of his works are still on ao3. i like this one in particularly one because its soft and im a weenie but also because its a 4+1 which is my favourite genre of fic ever actually

3. what makes you beautiful by seventies

MMA fighter Keith Kogane is admitted to the hospital and gets KO'd by blue eyes that rival the seas and a crooked grin that knocks the air out of his lungs. It hasn't even been a minute in the ring. It's a world fucking record.

rare blue eyed lance appreciation moment from me (old bookmark lmfao). but jokes aside i do love this fic. i will always always always every day of my life love whipped on sight keith idc. its so so funny to me. its funnier when lance is like oh! this is my rival. we are going to be ENEMIES FUCK YEAH and keith is like oh my god if i dont marry him right now im literally going to die. also this fic has matt just fyi

4. Lance and Keith's guide for how to cure insomnia by crystalklances

Keith has always had trouble sleeping, but never told anyone. When they fall asleep together after a mission by chance, Lance finds out and offers to share his bed to help Keith fall asleep. However, sleeping together every night has unforeseen side-effects for both of them.

from the iconic INVENTOR of the smitten keith tag. soft klance, in canon. touch starved keith. sharing a bed to stop the nightmares. i bought my ticket on the first word of the summary like

5. love you so bad by seyama [EXPLICIT]

Keith and Lance sneak off from a party to go and fuck. That's it, that's the whole story.

this was bantery and silly and fun. and the little argument over who gets to be the little spoon....shockingly tender and so so them ive read this one a fewww times lol

that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

[klanceficatalogue]

Hey I'm so glad you're back! I was wondering if you had any good love bug stories or anything where they go to an alien planet and either Keith or Lance get their feelings exposed by accident?

oh yeah baby. another classic klance trope - k

love bug tag

Affections and Deceptions by Deatmat (2/2 | 21,353 | General)

"We need to talk about the bite." He mumbles, "What about it?"  "Well, for starters, what do we do? What do we tell the others?" He gestures with his free hand at the bite. "I mean, we can't just magically make it go away."  There's a pause before he says abruptly, "What if we pretend it's real?" - - - - - [Lance and Keith are dating behind the rest of their teams backs but a run in with an alien bug that's venom causes victims to mimic infatuation brings both opportunities and issues to light.]

Look At Me And Say "I Love You" by Dedmemes (5/5 | 17,253 | Not Rated)

*insert typical love bug AU summary* The team goes to a planet, Keith gets bitten and 'falls' in love with Lance, they spend the next three days glued to each other to stop Keith's heart from stopping.

Synthetic Love by EnlacingLines (4/4 | 25,210 | Teen and Up)

“Keith? Buddy, did it sting? Bite? You okay?” Lance says. “Bitten. Shit, that hurt, I don’t know where it we-” Keith looks up and just stops. That’s all Lance can describe it as. His mouth ceases forming words, his eyes lock onto Lance’s and his body freezes. A Klance love bug AU

[differentdancesfandom]

I want to interact with so much cool Voltron stuff on Tumblr, but the more I do, the more Klance appears in my feeds, and as much as I love my M/M ships, I never shipped any the guys together on VLD. If I squint I get why Klance and Sheith exist, but I never really found my M/M VLD OTP. (Closest I got was some musings on Alfor/Coran, or Alfor/Zarkon as brothers-in-arms sex friends. I shipped Ulaz/Shiro for the one episode Ulaz was alive o(TヘTo).)

Keith/Lotor could be fun based on their parallel shared heritage, but I can't write Lotor/Pidge AND Keith/Lotor at the same time, my brain can only fixate on one pairing per character when I'm in a creative mood.

And Lotidge has my heart more, so...plus, Lotidge has scarcely over 100 fics on Ao3, Keith/Lotor has 900; I tend to go where I can add something new.

Hell, there isn't really an MM VLD ship I actively read.

The closest I've got for a VLD MM ship is a Thace-centric side story to Lack of Scientific Consensus Concerns Me (I haven't abandoned this series entirely, folks), and the ship I have in mind was inspired by a comment someone left on LoSCCM; the relationship tag on Ao3 says it's even more of a rarepair hell than Lotidge, because of course my brain won't let me write ships people actually want to read.

[katie0510klance]

Ok so I cant buy the klance fancomic because, only credit card works on the internet???? (I'm sure it's not true but ok and she doesn't have her debit card on google play) So now I can't get it , school starts tomorrow and she thinks it will restock in two months.... @leenfiend please sell them until December I'll pay 150$ even if that means I can have one in December where I have my own bank account. Yes this is kinda annoying tagging you but pleasseeee

Edit : no I didn't cry because I can't cry because 🔥trauma🔥🔥🔥 I will probably sulk about it for months and affect every aspect of my life physically and mentally 🙏

[ikimaru]

Hiya! So I've been wondering, on the collage /vr au of klance, on patreon is it where like you get early access to new chapters and for the rest of the ppl they get to see it like a few days after? Is that how it works? I'm kinda new to all this so I've been actually wanting to ask about that! Also luv ur work btw! :) I'm sure someone probably asked u this also before but do you think that mabye one day in the future say, a few months, you'll stop drawing klance for good and start something new to focus on? I've been wondering that as well!! Anyway luv ur work keep it up its so amazing:D

Hello! yes and no, it's early access but for the entire length of that part of the comic, since I post it on here when I have all the pages, like I was saying if it's 6 pages and I do 1 page a week that means 6 weeks early access to the first page posted (and progressively shorter which every next page with the newest being a few days/1 week before I post it here, but ever other page is at least 1+ week early access!)

and I can't tell u that for sure haha I'm committed to finishing the comic but if you look at my fanart tag you can see it's mostly other things rn so in that sense I already started something new to focus on for a while now aksjd

and thank you so much! :')

Escapade Dance Party 2023 Writeup 1/3

Seeing as Escapade Online is coming up this weekend, I suppose I should finally write up some stuff about last in-person con that I never got around to.

I don't usually bother with a full con report, but I do like writing up the dance party. Instead of just playing music, I do a playlist of vids that we project on the wall. It's a small con, somewhere between a hundred and a hundred and thirty, generally, so I don't bother to ask permission. (This is also why we don't broadcast or redistribute the dance party in any way or do one for the online con.)

Escapade is a venerable con. In fact, it's the oldest still-running slash con. Back in the 90s, people would come here to find out what was going on in fandom that year, get pimped into the latest fandoms, find out about new zines. Fandom moves a lot faster now: between when we decide on panels and when the con happens, a whole movie fandom could have risen and fallen. Still, it's as easy as ever to feel out of touch, just for different reasons than in the 90s.

I want people to come away from the dance party feeling like they've heard of some of the Next Hot Things. It's also a great opportunity to cover some of attendees' own fandoms that may not end up in the main vidshow. As a vidder, I despise cons that try to make the main vidshow purely audience-focused and just about whatever ships are big. A con like that sees vidders as providers of entertainment, not fellow fans and attendees. But a con that honors vidders' actual current interests is a con with a vidshow full of weird fandoms of one and glaring gaps in what older fandoms are included. So having another curated show, like this dance party, is a nice way to bridge that gap.

The party is essentially like an enormous mixtape. It's a chance for me to make thematic links between vids and to inflict music I actually want to dance to onto a captive audience. Each discrete vidding community tends to have extremely boring taste in music. Sorry, not sorry. And for dance music, this is even worse. I often can't find what I'm looking for, but I can try.

Every year, I begin by looking at attendees' profiles on the Escapade site, filtering the m/m tag on AO3 for what's been active in the past year, and browsing around until I come up with a list of fandoms of interest. Fandoms that people suggested Escapade panels for also go on the list. These may be the big ones, but there are usually a lot of idiosyncratic options since it's a small con. It doesn't matter if Steve/Bucky is big if nobody at this con is going to care.

I set up my spreadsheet for my epic vid search: This involves not only sheets for my fandom list but vocabulary lists for searching: Слэш, 燃, etc.

After that, I go through the past year of the AO3 'fanvids' tag and maybe the 'amv' one, looking for interesting vids. They need to be at least somewhat danceable and 2-5 minutes without a ton of show audio. That's easier to find on AO3 than Youtube at large, but it still knocks out most vids I open everything, put the playhead to the middle of the vid, and test the sound. If I hear something viable, I go back and watch the vid. But if too many people I know have kudosed, I take it off the list since people have seen it already. For this step, I don't care about fandom, just about the vid being interesting and preferably slashy. (Yes, this is how I fell into Beyond Evil.)

After that, I start looking on Youtube and Bilibili, fandom by fandom, ship by ship. Some fandoms I never do find. They're just too unpopular with vidders. Some I find, but only a ship I have banned. I have a lifetime ban on Klance, for example. Anything too redolent of antis goes on the banned list. Anything with surprise tentacles is a shoo-in.

I also have some other rules for myself that I've developed over the years. I want at least a couple of vids with women, preferably f/f. Escapade is more m/m-focused, but a lot of attendees are queer and/or ship f/f as well. The show must have at least a vid or two that focuses on somebody other than white or East Asian characters. I mostly avoid vidders who are well known to people who attend the US slash/Media Fandom/vidding type cons unless I really cannot fill a particular fandom need elsewhere. I especially try to avoid vids that have already shown at other cons recently, though depending on how they're labeled, I may screw that one up. I've been more and more strict about this over time. I find a lot of vidding communities pretty incestuous, so this is a chance to shake things up.

A big one that surprises some people is that I try to avoid most multifandom vids and many ensemble vids. This one is negotiable depending on the vid, but I find that there's a distasteful pattern where a juggernaut will be deemed worthy of taking up a whole slot for itself with just a focus on the one ship while other things are relegated to an Awesome Ladies compilation. Those vids are fantastic in isolation, but if you play a lot of them together in a vidshow, let alone a vidshow that's a dark, noisy dance party, they all blend together into mush. A great ship vid or single character study, on the other hand, still manages to grab people. If you aren't willing to say "This ship gets the Star Wars/MCU/etc. slot, not that ship", what are you actually saying?

I try to find a fresh choice for any fandom that has been directly requested (so pretty much just Sentinel) and any where I know some attendees are mostly or only in that one fandom (The Professionals).

Of course, I can only play what people have already made, and this is a dance party, so sometimes, there just aren't any choices. I do shoehorn in a couple of not-very danceable vids most years, but they can only go right before or after the intermission or right at the end, so the number has to be limited.

One thing I don't always care about is the strictest standards of "quality" in a snobby vidder sense. Not only do different communities have different standards for what counts, but I'm more interested in novelty or great music. I won't play anything I think is terrible, but I'll take a B+ vid by a rando to an A+ song over an A+ vid that everyone's already seen.

For 2023's con, I decided the party should have a theme of vampires since I had guessed—incorrectly— that the new Interview with the Vampire show would be the latest hot thing everyone was talking about. In retrospect, I should have picked mafia for Kinnporsche and Gonchraov. At least vampires gave me good decorating ideas for cheesy fake candles and black spiderweb-draped tables.

It also sent me looking for goth club music, which I did find to some extent, but between who didn't attend this year and how awesome the cocktail party outside was, we got much less action on the dance floor than usual. (Excuse you! That music is totally danceable! "Drunken tai chi" as we used to say!)

At least my themed cocktail list was a hit. As an annoying cocktail nerd, it infuriates me when people just take a famous drink and slap a fannish name on it, so I insist on making a fannish cocktail list I find respectable.

Playlist in a moment.

tagged by the wonderful @blusandbirds thanks bestie!!

rules: go into your ao3 and find the following:

1. what rating do you write most of your fics under?

teen & up, almost exclusively for language. the rest are gen, and i have one (1) not rated that i do not even know why it's not rated but i can't be bothered to go in and edit it at this point. i'd only go up to mature or explicit for like. body horror reasons. i do not do smut i can barely even figure out kissing, man.

2. what are your top three fandoms?

shazam! movies, bnha (STILL) and stranger things recently claimed third place by breaking out of the three-fic purgatorial state of most of my ao3.

3. what is the top character you write about?

i am not counting the minor characters tag which means *drumroll* FREDDY FREEMAN BABY! shocked he actually came in first over billy but also, like, not. that's my son with whom i am well pleased. god i really miss him, actually....

4. what are the top three pairings you write about?

complicated question. we have another large tie situation going on, but top spot in overall, including gen, going to freddy & billy, taking the lead with 6/43. then there's a four-way tie of 3/43 each for byler, klance, jupeter and tododeku. so if we're talking in terms of just romance, those four i guess. however the phrasing of this question being in the present tense makes me break out in hives in association with klance and tododeku being on that list (even jupeter, really, though we had a mutual parting of the ways and not a dramatic breakup) because it's been 84 years since i posted anything about them, i just have a tendency to write like 1 or 2 fics for a fandom and ride away into the sunset. you know.

5. what are your top three additional tags?

hurt/comfort (23), post-canon (15), canon compliant (15). beautiful. i love writing in canonverse can you tell.

6. did any of this surprise you?

no lol. i know myself. well, it was surprising to see that shit like klance still ranks high in my stats i guess, but other than that. i am very well aware of the contents of my ao3.

[justmultifandom]

Unpopolar opinion that toxic Voltron fans need to accept

Allurance wasn't forced. The two of them were in perfect harmony with each other from the first seasons, moreover more than once Allura makes us understand that Lance mirrors her father a bit and that in any case she is very close to him. Also in s6 ep1 she looked at him one way and I can assure friends don't look that way.

The ships. I have nothing against ships, but I have to admit that many are really shameful. I'm not talking about popular ships like Klance, Sheith, Adashi, Plance… (Which I have nothing against. I don't ship them but I respect them and I respect those who ship them). I really hope people are joking when they create tags like Krolia/Lance or Ina Leifdottir/Coran because, no offence, what have you been drinking while watching the series??? (And I'm not kidding, I actually found them on ao3)

Allura is not lesbian. In every tiktok video where head canons are shown on the sexuality of the various characters I always see that Allura is shown as a lesbian. I get that Lotura and Allurance sucked in the fandom (especially among the klance shippers), but Allura definitely can't be a lesbian. She literally dating two men, she can't be a lesbian!

[leggylance]

omg you're so right about the fics! I've read fics in other fandoms and yeah there are some gems but klancers were really out here creating the most devastating pieces of literature imaginable. like, maybe it's just because of the sheer number of fics but I never came across a genuinely bad/poorly written fic in the klance tag on ao3 (which can't be said for other ships I've been into lately). I like to think the disappointment of the show drew in the cream of the crop of writers who were like, “i can—and I shall—make something worthy of these characters,” and they did every time

i’m picky as hell with my fics but even then we were spoiled with so many gems. got to meet so many talented people too because of it 🙏😔

[iliadette]

I've just right now dipped my toes into vld fanart and so far i had to go back to update my filters 4 times bc some klance shippers can't settle for just tagging all their content with the portmanteau first others later, i swear each blog uses different tags for something that can be easily blocked with 6 letters if they'd just use it

[chaos0pikachu]

🔥 14 and 16?

🔥 choose violence ask game 🔥

14: that one thing you see in fics all the time

Gosh I've been reading fanfic for almost 2 decades I've seen a lot of shit like look I can forgive moderately bad grammar this ain't lit class it's fine I can even dig a lapslock fic but if you're shit is formatted incorrectly? I can't read it PARAGRAPH BREAKS I BEG the other thing is I hate fics where it's clear the writer embraces more fanon than canon so the character acts more like the fanon version than the canon version (anything w/ stiles and/or sterek is a good example) actually another thing I see a lot of is ppl tagging a secondary ship when that ship is completely unimportant or has like 1 line like just lead them off or hell tag them as minor involvement don't waste my time!!! also tagging a fic with a pairing but it's a love triangle and one char gets with a different char like tag what the end game is don't worry about spoilers this is fanfic for godssake I'm reading for a hobby I wanna know that when I'm reading xx/xx they're gonna end up together!

16: you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

I must be in a teen wolf hating mood b/c pack mom!Stiles and Sterek shit was a crack pairing that somehow took over fandom and it lived and died based solely on headcanons and ppl being racist towards Scott I said what I said I was THERE don't try me

but basically where fandom takes fanon and pushes it SO HARD it becomes more accepted than actual canon and that shit irks me lol especially when the fanon is based on lies and purposeful misinterpretations of canon (klance is another example) like sorry jgy isn't the evil bond villain y'all think he is that's not my problem

Also GMMTV's BL shows, I don't get it, I just can't vibe with them so many of them all share a similar plot or concept but worse than that so many of them all visually look the same and they're poorly filmed at that like put some BUDGET into your BLs gmm I beg but they're so well liked and popular I feel like that's not what this ask was getting at but yeah

[fourohfourlifenotfound]

I swear to God I made a 2023 resolutions / goals post and I cannot find it ANYWHERE so heres my

Recap on my 2023 Goals

(I call them goals instead of resolutions because they're low-pressure fun things to achieve not attempts to change myself)

Complete [school event I run]

Yep, I survived it. Not doing so hot with planning next year's version though. This goal made me realize I need to keep work-type things off of these lists if I keep doing them, just make it be fun things.

2. Publish DWYTAC

This is "darling, won't you take a chance" the 20-chapter Klance fanfiction that took me over a year to write and got me back into writing! I'm really happy with how it turned out. You can read it on my ao3 (fourohfourerror)

3. Start a sourdough starter

Yes! Starters Georg tragically had to be put to rest when I didn't have time for him this fall semester, but he will be resurrected from a backup in January

4. Bind a fanfiction

I bound DWYTAC and two fanfictions by leblonde! You can see the photos on my crafts blog, @hook-line-and-crocheter. I think I made a #bookbinding tag?

5. Make a necklace

I strung up a simple seed bead necklace with an abalone charm I got on my summer trip! No photos because I never thought to post them and can't be bothered right now.

6. Start a temperature blanket

I've started a temperature blanket to represent my senior year of college! It will be done when I graduate in May, and I'll probably put photos on that crafts blog

7. Write another long fic and publish it

Whether I met this is iffy, but I'll give it to myself because it's more fun to win these. I actually wrote three 5k word fics

8. Do planning and setup for an original work

I didn't do the planning for the work I thought I would, I actually ended up creating a new story for my Worldbuilding class this semester. Eventually I'll make a real plan for it.

I also did 80% of the planning for a really long fanfiction, I've just got to organize the outline better

9. Curate a more positive internet experience

This is really difficult! Basically I want to get less frustrated by internet discourse and just block people instead. I've definitely made progress, but there's still some work to be done. I've also been working on reducing the amount of time I'm absently scrolling.

10. Organize something

I organized the apps on my phone! The home screen is a lot more manageable now.

the year is 2021 and for some reason I decided to start watching voltron to see what the fuss was all about 

(turns out....I like these dorks a lot....)
