cosplayers bakudeku, where katsuki is famous for his really flashy, overly detailed and complicated cosplay at cons and izuku is a nsfw cosplayer who doesn't do cons but is super huge online. katsuki snubs that kind of low level cosplay bc he thinks it’s trashy and beneath him. then their fandom collides at the biggest con in japan bc izuku promised once he got 5mil follows on twitter he'll do a meet up and katsuki who plan to have the most intricate and best cosplay that year at the con... completely got upstage by a bunny boy in skimpy costume and he's FUCKING PISSED.

despite the fact that Izuku mainly produce is lewd and suggestive content in his cosplay, izuku rarely show his face in his photoshoot except only to his highest tier patreons. he often comes off as bold and confident on camera but irl izuku is a mess of anxiety and insecurity. heavily bullied growing up, he came to hate himself and his own skin bc he never felt good on it. his therapist suggested he start taking photos of himself daily to boost his confidence bc if he's able to take control of how he look and present himself to the world it's a first step.

it started small. just a casual selfie each day as soon as he wake up, no prep and no care. he just want to get it out of the way. then he started to rearrange outfits to go w/ his photos. he moved to posing next and then he bought an expansive camera just to take photo of himself. izuku's insecurity didn't get overcome overnight but lil by lil the boy in the photo blossomed from a gloomy unsmiling face to a handsome bright young man. that was how izuku fell in love w/ the camera and the boy in the photo bc he might not love himself yet but he love the *him* in those photos bc they don’t feel like it’s actually him.

once he got into it, he was hooked. he wanted to take better photos of himself, in outfits he normally doesn't wear (a lil more showy and skin), and in setting outside the walls of his bedroom. he wanted to look good bc it made him feel good about himself. it made him come alive. so he set himself up to learn everything that can help him get better photos of himself. like, he cant keep buying and reusing old clothes in his photo so he learned how to sew. and he knew nothing about how to do make up so he took to watching makeup tutorials!! izuku wasnt interest in styling or makeup previously but in the pursue of the perfect photo of himself he actively consumed every piece of knowledge that came his way. that's eventually how he stumbled upon momo's cosplay youtube chn, watching her tutorials on how she went from the start to finish with one of her more famous cosplays.

that vid opened up a whole new world for him, that there are ppl out there dedicating their time and energy into making elaborate costumes and props just to be someone else, something other than themselves and they were all so beautiful. at that moment izuku realized he could just be someone else for a change--boy, girl, monster, alien, animal, doesn't matter who it is as long as the person isn't him. it was ok. NOT THE MOST HEALTHIEST mentality but it worked for izuku. he followed all of momo's tutorials and started to get into cosplay. it was just something small to help him work on his anxiety and insecurity, but it warped into something that consume him bc cosplay empowered him to do more. TO BE BETTER. be brave in the way he doesn’t quite feel yet.

it started as something mainly for himself and his battered self-confidence but one day momo made a comparison tweet about her earlier cosplay and her current one, how ppl improve everyday and that they shouldn't be afraid to push the envelope and try new things!!!! so izuku, feeling strangely brave for once, bit the bullet and post a single photo of himself in one of his selfmade costume of him in his now (INFAMOUS) bunny ears boy in short. his twitter had no post before the photo and he only followed momo's acc. it was completely barren.

he wasn't even anybody noticeable and momo had MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS so izuku won't even register on her radar at all. he went to bed that night a lil happy w/ himself for being that brave but then he woke up the next day and his phone LITERALLY BLEW UP bc momo rtwted his photo.

now izuku's amateur photo got exposed to millions of ppl and gained several thousands new followers literally OVERNIGHT. izuku's nerves went haywire at the thought of everyone looking at his photo and seeing the cracks, his flaws, all over him. he couldn't bare the thought of ppl judging him but momo not only followed him but even said: "you looks so cute and sultry<333! wonderful cosplay work!" and the comments he received from her fans where all kind and encouraging and they want to MORE. izuku never felt so out of place and yet so strangely right where he should be.

this was his turning point. drumming up every drop of courage he has, he'd dm her and they started a friendship that launched izuku's career as pro cosplayer. w/ momo careful guiding hands, izuku learned the trade by a senior in the industry. the kinds of photo he take didn't start as uh, nsfw, but it kinda end up that way?? bc the photos he take are THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF WHO HE IS—it makes him feel strong and confidence in a way that he doesn't always feel irl like the person in the photo is just a little braver to show a sliver of skin, to pose suggestively, and to make that kind of sultry face in front of the camera. THAT PERSON IS HIM BUT ALSO ISN’T HIM.

cosplay is similar to a theater, when izuku wears his costume he is shedding his own skin and donning a mask to be someone else. that person is the person he wishes he can be, the person he potentially can be if only a little bit. and w/ cosplay even if it's just a moment, just a flash of the camera and only in the photos he take, he can live on unafraid and untouched by reality of his anxiety and fears.

KATSUKI on the other hand started bc of mina. she was big on cosplay and harassed him to make her props for her bc he's v v clever w/ his hands and he likes making shit lol. the more demanding her request were he became the more obsessed to making it RIGHT AND PERFECT. he wanted to be an engineer bc nothing is cooler than building things and taking it apart. cosplay w/ all the things you have to create bc it doesn't exist anywhere else, so he has to start from scratch but he loves a good challenge. it's a great training ground of his career lol

he never intend to be part of MINA'S COSPLAY project but for her bday she requested that they collab and that he would appeared in a photoshoot w/ her. mina doesn't make bday's wish lightly so katsuki found himself cornered like trapped rat. he begrudgingly complied bc they been friends long enough that she can guilt trip him like NOBODY ELSE but katsuki can’t halfass it. if he's doing it, he's putting 10000% into this and be a fucking boss and OUTDO HER IN EVERY WAY so she can regret inviting him. so katsuki ofc picked the most elaborate, technically complicated, and time consuming cosplay. there were lights, electrical works, armor sets, etc, katsuki had to build them by hand to create it. he DEF show up her up at her own photoshoot and stunned every fucking person there.

for someone who has LITTLE TO NO INTEREST IN IT, katsuki went all in and more. ofc that photoshoot blew up on social media and ppl just hammer for more, wanting katsuki to make their costumes and props but he aint anyone's peons!! if he's going to put time and effort into making cool shit like this than he's only making it for his friends or himself. esp now that he saw how ridiculously hard and annoying it could be and that made him loves it all the more. so that's HOW KATSUKI GOT INTO COSPLAY.

after so many yrs of mina dragging him to cons to showoff his cosplay and w/ all the efforts he put into it, it always stunned the crowd. he even win awards after awards for his cosplay, firmly establishing his presence as one of the BEST IF NOT THE BEST IN the community!! so now he came to the biggest con of the year and is prepped for the show of his life. his costume is a dragon w/ glowing lights, functional mechanical wings that flap and even retract to his back!! it's kick ass and he poured hundreds of hours into it.

his legion of fans have been waiting for this project to bear fruit for months since the first sneak peak. the rumors churn around fandom that once again bakugou would place first again w/ his outstanding crazy out of this world dragon cosplay. nobody can top him, right????? when he arrives at the con w/ his new fucking showy cosplay, there as a blitzkrieg of photos ops and fan signing. everyone wanted to talk to him about his cosplay and then,,,,, someone SCREAMS DEKU and the next thing he knows he's left in the dust over some other cosplayer.

katsuki would be lying if he say he didn't know deku. deku w/ over 5 mills followers on twitter and 10 mils on instagrams, he's recognizable name in the community but for all the wrong reasons katsuki thinks venomously, deku who takes skanky photos of himself and call it cosplay bemismirching real hard works of other more serious cosplayers. it IRKS HIM SO MUCH that deku and his kind get the fame and recognition for wearing less, popping a collarbone and showing off his upper thigh in a photo and his fucking fans EAT THAT THIS RIGHT UP. fucking horny ass fuck ppl ruining everything and deku who catered to that shit.

while katsuki had spent months working super hard get this his dragon cosplay ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, nearly burnt his hands trying to get the wires correct, but all deku needed was put on some makeup, smile to the camera, and flashed his killer thighs and everybody THINK IT'S AMAZING. katsuki, in not one of his most brightest moment, decide to quote rtwt one of izuku's photos op w/ a comment: "you must have work reaaaaaal hard to look that good, huh. just making our community proud w/ that shitty ass effort." TO HIS 3 MILS FOLLOWERS bc he's an ass.

his followers immediately jumped on that tweet, blasting deku and his fanbase for calling it 'cosplay' but all it is is just deku w/ revealing clothes and in sexy costumes and OFC DEKU'S FANBASE DOESN'T GO DOWN QUIETLY, attacking back about their elitism and slutshaming. a war was started bc of a single tweet by katsuki who rarely keep his opinion to himself and he didn't know what he unleashed w/ that tweet. the majority of the community immediately side w/ katsuki who thinks that izuku shouldn't take all the attention from other hardworking cosplayer, blasting Izuku and his fans and all the other lewd cosplayers for not being *serious* enough but katsuki had no clue about it bc he just went there to vent and shut his phone after that bc otherwise he get so mad and break something if he think about it.

he got a competition to win!! which by everyone standard he's a shoe in to win first place again but just HIS FUCKING LUCK bc deku has the audacity to enter the same competition as him like he's gonna win at all?? in his skimpy boyshorts and bunny ears and FUCKING HUGE EYES AND RED CHEEKS AND, AND—. fuming, katsuki has every intention to destroy deku in the competition.

just before katsuki head off on stage for his number being call next, deku suddenly approaches him, eyes downcast and strangely shy in a way he didn't think deku who takes spread his thighs ON CAMERA, tells him with a tremble voice, "good luck, bakugou-san, im rooting for you!"

katsuki is kinda ?????!!! but he has no time to think about it bc it's his turn on stage and as soon as he step up, the crowd roars and he basked in the all their screams bc he knew he fucking got it. this is his stage, his world and deku is fucking dirt on the road. after he is done, he went offstage and waited for all the contestants finish and deku is apparently the last but the moment he on stage the crows is on their feet and clapping so loudly as though DEKU HAD ALREADY WON IT. they scream his names and lay their adoration at his feet.

for the first time in a v v v long time, katsuki felt unsure as though his first place wasn't a guarantee, but when it was time to announce the winner: it's his name that they call. which means all right in the world BUT lol deku is the one who won the audience's favorite award. katsuki won the judges' recognition but deku is the one whom the audience love the most and it's just hurt his ego so much bc he never lost anything in his life but this ??? fucking BRUTAL esp when deku is blushing as he hold his trophy but keep glancing at katsuki while at it.

after the contest end, katsuki broke away from his crowd of fans to stalked over izuku's own group, anger licking at his foot and his tongue sharpens for a battle. he is gonna end deku's entire fucking career right here and then.

just as katsuki makes his way through the crowd, he hears a soft and surprise, "ah, bakugou-san! congrats on your win!" deku says earnestly. "i knew you would win! your dragon cosplay is just out of this world and i'm just so floor , so can I-um, would you mind signing for me?"

katsuki stops. his brain freezes up and he lets out an intelligibility, "huh?" as deku stares up hopefully at him and his crowd of fans titters anxiously w/ worried whispers like they thought katsuki came to start a fight... which HE DID, but deku had surprised them all.

"i dont have a pen," he says, like a total IDIOT against deku's wide earnest eyes bc the image he has of deku doesn't MATCH at all with the sweet shy young man in front of him now. the deku he had seen was confident, sultry, and knows how to fuck you up w/ a curve of his lips but the deku he sees now is like a completely different person who doesn't seem as bold and daring as the deku who took a photo of himself in foamy bathwater and a teasing leg poking above the water that PROVOKED ALL KIND OF INCINERATING IMAGES. it's just--DOES NOT COMPUTE!! FUCK

"oh," deku replies, completely crestfallen like his heart is shattered bc of katsuki inability to acquire a pen. "but i-i, think i have something for you to use," he says, looking down at his chest and feels around for something it AS KATSUKI'S EYES BULGE OUT.

pulling out a pen tucked b/t his tight corset, deku looks on happily. "i got one!" and then hesitantly. "um if you don't mind."

katsuki just stares at him, not knowing if DEKU WAS FUCKING W/ HIM AT ALL OR is this actually real. like, is he that much of a fucking ditz and it's not like the fans DON'T HAVE A PEN but they're kinda too focus on watching this hilarious shitshow go down. some of them want to see katsuki blow up, others stand there protectively around izuku, but most just here for the drama after seeing the twitter fallout.

blankly, he just take the pen from deku. "where do i fucking sign?" he grunts.

"Um, my, um," deku goes bright red suddenly, "my chest--well i mean no wait, uh, my arm if that's okay with you? i didn't bring anything w/ me for you to sign. im so, so sorry for the inconvenience!"

katsuki can feel a headache coming on. "Are you fucking with me?!" he hisses. this is clearly some sort of a fucking joke. deku prob plan to set this up w/ his fans to mock katsuki. that lil shit.

deku's fans titters anxiously as deku's eyes widen shock hurt. "i wouldn't--!"

deku in his dolled up face, bunny ears, corset and fuckING TINY SHORTS w/ white fur linings meant to incite you and fuck w/ your heads but katsuki looks at deku's wounded eyes and he knows, somehow, he's FUCKED UP. this isn't the face of manipulative conman. he's fucking real.

katsuki sighs and drags a hand down his face in defeat. "fine," he says, and grabs deku by the arm to the gasping crowd. he quickly writes his name over deku's bicep as his other hand steady his brushstroke, fingers pressing down soft flesh and it sets off fireworks in his head. deku doesn't even move in the slightest, holding his breath the entire time as katsuki's finish writing his name. when he step back, deku looks at the writing on his arm and traces a finger over it, carefully and reverently.

YEA, katsuki thinks, he'd really, really fucked up.

katsuki isn't known for his mistakes, but even he now knows that he had deku wrong all along bc of his egoism and elitism, he'd almost destroyed deku w/ it. fuck, he messed up but, he's not just going to let that sit. he'll fix it. delete the tweet and apologize to deku.

first though gritting his teeth, he asks, "if you're not doing anything else now," stopping for a moment, he cringes at his pussy ass wording, IT DOESNT SOUND LIKE HIM AT ALL. HOW IS HE EVER THIS HESITANT. FUCK. he coughs and looks away. "walk with me around the con."

deku immediately lights up like a fucking lighthouse. katsuki's eyes are nearly blind with how incredibly happy he looks. "oh-oh, really? can i really go with you, bakugou-san?" he asks, excitement and worry warring on his face. "you won't mind right?"

katsuki huffs. "I fucking told you we're going together, why would i take it back then. im not some shithead that would go back on their words," he snaps.

for one fucking dizzying moment, deku's lips curve upward into a slow and blossoming smile and katsuki is knock breathless. he turns his head away, feeling a strange heat rising in his chest. fuck. this is not good, he thinks as he hurriedly walks off, leaving deku behind in rush. he hears deku yelling at his back to wait for him as his heel clicks and clicks in rapid succession trying to catch up.

katsuki slows his step enough for deku to finally be in line of him, who is a bit breathless having to run in his heels. "t-thank you," deku says, sounding grateful for the FACT THAT KATSUKI SLOW DOWN FOR HIM EVEN THOUGH KATSUKI IS THE IDIOT WHO RAN OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Grimacing, "my fault," he grunts. it's not an outright apology but it's enough trigger another smile on deku's face. katsuki is starting to realize that deku is all nerves and hesitation but for every moment of boldness he manages to sum up and is rewarded for it, he's happy. it's such a small and insignificant thing to be happy about but deku takes it like they're gifts and abruptly all katsuki wants to do is be the one is give it to him.

they both go quiet as they continue move around the con, posing for photos and signing things for their fans. their hardcore group of of fans trail them from a careful distance. he recognizes the trouble but confused expression on deku's circle of fans and then there's katsuki's fan who are all looking at him like HE'S INSANE for shitting on deku one sec to now buddying up w/ him.

katsuki feels like he's insane too since meeting deku his emotions had been running amok on a cocktail of anger, confusion, and an undecipherable emotion he's afraid to give a name to. this is all deku's fault. but mostly it's him--his for being such a prejudiced asshole. if he didn't win that audience's favorite award is only bc he WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH not bc deku cheated his way to that win. if ppl like deku better it's bc deku is sweet and GENTLE AND GOOD and katsuki is an idiot for assuming what he wear and how he present himself say otherwise.

he thought mina had beaten these alpha male elitist preconceived notions out of him but the thought of losing to deku had hurt his pride and he lashed out in all the fucking wrong way like a total bludgeoning idiot. he's gonna have to apologize eventually. he knows it. one step a time though.

it's summer in tokyo which means it blistering hot so the AC been blasting nonstop at the con. katsuki with his punk dragon cosplay got his studded scaled jacket on and also he always run a lil hot so he doesnt feel it. deku next him though is trembling a little under the chilly air. he'd been touching himself more, hands running down his arm to warm up everytime they get a break b/t fanmeets and photos but the moment their fans arrive, his hands drop to his side and he put on a profession front.

after the fifth time it had happened, katsuki can feel the throbbing annoyance growing in the back of his head. "cold?" he says.

deku stops. "uh, no."

"so you're not cold in those clothes?" he asks, brows furrowing skeptically. "really? not even a lil bit?"

deku quickly shakes his head, looking down at his outfit. "this is my armor," he says, smiling softly. katsuki doesn't know what to think of those words but with the way deku have been more than sincere w/ him throughout their entire meeting he believes it, believes him.

katsuki frowns, running scenarios in his head and then says fuck it. he cast off his jacket and throws it at deku. "wear it," he orders. "i dont want you catching a fucking cold next to me or your rapid fans are gonna eat me alive." he shoot a glare at them for equal measure.

"oh," deku breathes, hush and so delighted that he's bleeding happiness. "thank you. you're so kind bakugou-san." he pulls the jacket over his body and it nearly swamp him with how big it is, but fuck deku in katsuki's jacket with bare legs poking through is a FUCKING MASS WEAPON.

He realizes in that heated moment why deku is so much beloved by his fans and it’s partly the long pale legs, the bright green eyes, constellation of freckles, and soft, coy smile but really it’s just plain old awkward deku that they all fell for. He sees it all now, and bitter regrets for his past actions hit him like a goddamn truck and he want to knock some sense into his past self right now. Fucking damnit. If deku who smiles sweetly at him now and who think Katsuki is this amazing ,kind person before him realize what kind of ugly monster he had made of himself earlier on twitter against deku… then that smile will no longer turn toward him anymore and that somehow hurt more than the lost of his trophy.

Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth Characters: Jaime Lannister, Brienne of Tarth Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Pining, Baseball, Coaches, little league, Alternate Universe - You've Got Mail Fusion, You've Got Mail - AU, Twitter, Online Relationship, a boatload of GoT/ASoIaF characters that I didn't want to tag individually, Fluff, Fluff and Humor Summary:

to be read in 90s Movie Trailer RomCom Voice

Meet Jaime. He used to be the most infamous player in Major League baseball but a career-ending injury brought him back into the family business. He hates it. What he doesn’t hate is coaching the best Little League team in Kings Landing.

Meet Brienne. After her father’s death, she left behind a successful career in women’s competitive fastpitch to start over. She’s trying to balance life and love in a new city, all while coaching a down-and-out Little League team.

In a world where everyone is looking to connect, Jaime and Brienne discover the best way to meet someone is to never meet at all. What they don’t realize, is that they already have.

This fanfic exchange season, follow along with Brienne and Jaime as they take to one another on Twitter and battle on the ballfield. Then find out what happens when those worlds collide.

(a You’ve Got Mail AU) -------------------

This is the piece I wrote for the @jaime-brienne-fic-exchange, a gift for the awesome @the-world-unseen. I was excited to get her because I feel like we have very similar tastes (I could have written her likes/dislikes list). If you haven’t read her work, go check it out (especially Bad Ideas 😍).

I chose two of her three prompts:

any riff on a you’ve got mail AU (we hate each other IRL but are anonymously communicating and actually love each other!)

anything even slightly involving baseball

I have never written ANYTHING this long and it was a huge lift. Having little kids at home means that not only do I barely have any time to write, but also that I can hardly have more than three coherent thoughts in a day. (I also newly think I have ADHD and am going to start working with a coach) POINT BEING this accidentally ballooned into something 10x longer than anything I’ve ever written and 42x the minimum word count.

Anything in here that is more than slightly above average baseball knowledge was either researched or comes courtesy of my incredible beta reader @brynnmck who not only edited this insanely long piece (the fifth longest), but did a good bit of it last minute, editing while traveling and ALSO while writing the THIRD LONGEST PIECE (and beta’ing other works in the exchange). I’m in awe and so so so so so thankful. 💗

Thanks to @seaspiritwrites who was a major cheerleader through writing this. I was immensely buoyed by her squealing. Also: her piece in the exchange is my favorite that I’ve read so far (I’ve read very few): The Shooting Party. Thanks, too, to Cloaca/Laihiriel for being a friend and sounding board.

I have a few pieces I cut from the fic that I’ll end up posting, probably just here on Tumblr. I made this little retro Topps baseball card header. I think I’m going to make J/B baseball cards, too, when I get a chance. Lastly, here’s Jaime’s power ballad Spotify playlist: ✨ GoldenGlove's Solid Gold Hits ✨ Thanks to all of you who were reading along and commenting while I posted chapters, especially @the-world-unseen. I’m glad you like it! 💕 EDITED TO ADD (because I’m running on no sleep and also a jerk): thank you thank you thank you thank you to the amazing organizers of the exchange. @firesign23 @nire-the-mithridatist and @slipsthrufingers (aka Slipso). I am thankful for all of your hard work and nagging and support! ❤️

Sparklez!verse

Here’s my favorite obscure topic that like two people understand! So I’m going to explain it, starting with where the idea originated and how it has been developed in canon. Lastly I’ll end with some headcannons and things I’ve inferred.

Sparklez!verse is the idea that there are infinite universes with infinite versions of Sparklez. The idea originated in the season 2 finale of Mianite, in the book Sparklez received from Ianite.

An excerpt: “Worlds upon worlds of wonder have embraced my many new selves. I’m living a thousand new lives at once. And those are just the lives I’m aware of” --- “A man named Jordan Maron created the goddess Ianite in a world beyond worlds. And Jordan Maron looks just like you. He is one of your countless alternate selves.”

Cool concept! This not only solidifies what everyone had already suspected, that the Land of Mianite and Ruxomar were alternate dimensions, but that there were infinite dimensions out there, many in Minecraft and others on a more realistic, non-game Earth. Originally I believe this was to set up the idea that the main cast of Mianite could keep jumping into the void and end up in new worlds- thus continuing the series of Mianite for infinite seasons.

Obviously the series ended after season 2. So it never explored that further.

However! While the Mianite series never continued with the idea, Jordan did! It pops up again over a year later, in 2016, in an animated video titled Trollcraft Origins on the CaptainSparklez YouTube channel.

The video starts with a familiar character, Sparklez from the Crash Landing series. Currently he’s been ejected from his own spaceship and is now floating through space, in which he builds a nether portal on an asteroid and appears in a pink room where we see another Sparklez, narrating his own actions. His dialogue makes it clear that this is the Sparklez from the Trollcraft series.

This video creates a canon that each let’s play series has its own universe. Crash Landing Sparklez and Trollcraft Sparklez are from different series, but Crash Landing managed to travel into a different universe using a method I’ll cover a little later.

Two videos in this Sparklez!verse animation series later and we see a new Sparklez, one from the Pixelmon let’s play series.

This is the point where we really start to see a difference in their personalities. These animations, unlike ones prior, do not take scenes from Jordan’s let’s plays and animate them directly. The plot and voice lines are all original, and I assume written by Jordan or the animator, Mama’s Boy.

The plot is basically just “kill your double”, and I won’t bog this down with character motivation or specifics.

Point is, these different versions of Sparklez are now being written like their own separate characters. Crash Landing speaks in a very stilted tone and seems to have a poor grasp on social interaction (understandable given his universe of origin), Pixelmon is naive and frankly pretty stupid, and Trollcraft is honestly unremarkable and doesn’t have many lines. He’s mostly focused on killing Crash Landing Sparklez.

That brings us to the final animation in this little Sparklez!verse series, RIP Me. This one has Crash Landing and Pixelmon trying to kill Trollcraft, and popping in and out of different universes to do so. Here they jump through a portal into the void and collide with a new Sparklez, one wearing a red cape and floating listlessly beside Tucker, Tom and Sonja.

Hey we know this one, it’s Sparklez from Mianite! He also happens to be the Sparklez from the Ultra Modded Survival series and the original survival series with Jerry the slime. Earlier animations clearly show this. It’s a shame that Sparklez’s crazy journey has to end here but unfortunately Pixelmon stabs and kills him. That means canonically, the Sparklez that participated in the Mianite series is dead.

No season 3 for you.

It’s pretty obvious why Jordan wrote this ending. Everyone was spamming "when’s season 3″ and so he just killed off his character. Okay back on track. So we know there are unlimited universes and alternate versions of Sparklez. The ones we have seen or that have been canonically referenced are Jordan himself, Mianite/UMS/Jerry Sparklez, Spark from Ruxomar, Crash Landing Sparklez, Trollcraft Sparklez, and Pixelmon Sparklez.

However a major question is- “How do you get from dimension to dimension?” The simple answer is- the void

But the real answer is more complex and more up to interpretation.

First we need to answer, what is the void and what role does it play. In Minecraft it’s just pure blackness that if entered will kill you. It is the nothingness found at the bottom of worlds and in the End. In the Mianite series It’s full of little dots of light that look like stars. And it doesn’t kill you when you jump in, rather has you fall through it for an undetermined amount of time. The void never really ends, rather its occupants are just thrown from it into another universe. Is this the gods’ doing? Did they enter one of those points of light? Unclear. But it does establish the void as the substance between universes. Something that must be passed through.

Okay so here’s the thing. Tiem Reester (Mianite Sparklez and co) are not the only ones who travel through the void into different dimensions. I believe Crash Landing Sparklez has too. Only he doesn’t call it the void. He calls it space. And he uses a spaceship.

So is the void a vacuum of nothingness? Is it space? Yes. Both. Because why not. Now this is just a headcannon but it makes me think that Tiem Reester has been blessed by Ianite, the only god capable of seeing through the veil into different universes, and therefore do not die in the void. And Crash Landing Sparklez, who has not been blessed, needs a space helmet. And presumably a space suit, but there’s only so much you can do in animations.

So, next question. If Tiem Reester uses the void to get between dimensions, why do we see Crash Landing, Trollcraft, and Pixelmon using nether portals?

Honestly I think the answer was non-existent until April fools 2020.

In the April fools snapshot for Minecraft in 2020, we get something called Minecraft Infinite. Simply toss a book into a nether portal and gain access to a totally new dimension. And there we have it.

If you’re blessed by the goddess of balance and the universe than you can pass through the void into other worlds. But if you’re a godless heathen a book and a nether portal works just fine.

So, what’s the point of all this? Uhhh, so I can write fanfiction and draw fanart about it. I mean it’s pretty cool! There are so many possibilities. It’s like the OG Markiplier egos. You guys like that right? I mean, hell, there’s an alternate version of Sparklez that interacts with a Markiplier ego! Someone please talk to me about this or make content for it. I’m lonely, sitting here in a fandom of 1.

TLDR: Sparklez!verse is the idea that there are infinite versions of Sparklez, one for each series and even irl series. We get to see a few versions of Sparklez in some animations and Mianite Sparklez is dead forever, RIP in peace. And lastly that the void can get you between universes but isn’t the only way to do so. Also the definition of the void is up for debate. Also please get into this and make content for it, I feel like I’m going crazy.

Any advice for those who are worried about Wondercon and the Corona Virus?

Hi Anon,

Ah yes when my fandom job and my IRL job collide.

For those that don’t know I work in the Travel Industry for my IRL Job, so lets just say its been a busy couple of weeks.

The situation with COVID 19 is ever changing and being closely monitored by a lot of people and things are literally changing daily. So first and foremost make sure you are following Wondercon and SDCC on Social Media for any updates. I am checking the main Wondercon Page daily.

As of answering this ask Wondercon is scheduled to go on as planned. In fact they posted their exhibitor list the other day so things are plugging along for them. The OC Register also has a list of local events and as of today it states “Wondercon will continue as scheduled. SDCC is working with local officials as it pertains to the COVID 19 situation and continues to monitor developments closely.”

In the unlikely event they do cancel, I’m pretty sure they will have to issue refunds or risk a PR nightmare.

If you have not booked air yet check with the airline you are looking to book with, many have loosened up the rules about changing flights. There is also the Southwest option that will allow you to carry it on as a credit for around 12 months. *EVERY AIRLINE HAS ITS OWN POLICY THAT CAN CHANGE DAILY SO YOU MUST MAKE SURE YOU READ THOSE BEFORE BOOKING! DO NOT ASSUME YOU WILL GET A REFUND IF PLANS HAVE TO CHANGE*

You also do need to be ready that some exhibitors and panelist might not feel comfortable coming. The good news is no one has been announced yet so we won’t know who bails. And we must respect their personal decisions.

If it isn’t cancellation you are worried about, rather being exposed, you need to assess your own personal risk. I advise talking with your personal care physician and discussing concerns with them. Especially if you fall into or care for/live with someone that is in a higher risk group. For example if my father was still with us I wouldn’t go see him at his facility for at least 14 days after getting home

Check with the CDC for their most up to date recommendations.

Other common sense things

Wash your hands!

Carry hand sanitizer and lysol wipes. IE I am wiping down carts, tables, doors, and other surfaces I come in contact with. My entire family has santizer in their pockets and are using it regularly.

Wash your hands!

I realize its hard in an environment like Wondercon, but maintain more of a distance between yourself and your new friends. IE my husband and I will serve as ‘buffers’ for our kids and be on either side of them both on the plane and in the panels. If we have a panel in the main hall I know exactly where I want to sit because of the open space ahead of us.

Wash your hands!

Don’t get a face mask, save those for the professionals who need them.

Wash your hands!

Don’t touch your face.

Wash your hands!

If you are sick stay home.

Wash your hands!

While shopping here at home, in the parks, and at the expo we will all be sanitizing after touching anything.

Wash your hands!

Wondercon or no we’re going to California. My Plan B if IF it gets cancelled is we’ll add more time to Disneyland, chill at the pool, meet up with friends, and head over to the beach.

My husband and I have had the recommended discussions with doctors and each other and feel comfortable traveling with our family. We feel we are just as likely to come in contact with it here at home as we are traveling. I also have Plan B set up for our trip in July, we’re still going but I have, contingencies in place.

I followed the common sense things when I was in Disney World a few weeks ago doing a run with about 25,000 other people.

What is most important is you feel safe and comfortable with whatever you decide to do.

Fics on power couple Klaine?

I suggest you peruse the famous!Kurt and famous!Blaine tropes because you’ll find some fic recs where they are both famous. Here are a few to start you with.

Dark Bars And Desperate Measures by @quizasvivamos

After the conclusion of their sophomore year of high school, best friends Kurt and Blaine make a pact to get out of Lima and escape to New York City together, a place where dreams are said to come true. Nearly six years later, feeling stuck during his final year at NYADA and desperate to prove his worth, Kurt forms a rock band, enlisting the help of Blaine. While hurtling along on the fast track to fame and fortune, a clashing of egos, jealousy, and latent feelings threaten to derail all they’ve been working toward. Warnings: light drug use, excessive drinking, brief midgame Kelliott.

~~~~~

I Will Go Down With This Ship by @klaineanummel

Excerpts of what happens in the most intense seven months of the New Directions fandom. Or the one where Kurt, Blaine, Sebastian, Puck and Sam are in a boy band together.

~~~~~

73 Questions with Klaine by @totallyawesomeharry

Tumblr prompt: How about some famous!klaine and an interview where they do like a house tour or something (think NPH´s 73 Questions video with Vogue or sth. like that). With lots of funny little anecdotes (or one, since its supposed to be a drabble:P) and knick knacks lying around.

~~~~~

A Spontaneous Adventure by nightbirdrises

Kurt wakes up the morning after the Tony Awards, but it turns out he had a much more eventful night than he remembers.

~~~~~

Courageous Dreams by @klainebowsanddramioneflies

The names ‘Blaine Anderson’ and ‘Kurt Hummel’ are well-known in the Broadway scene. Both men have found their way to the top and fight for the key roles in the biggest and boldest titles to hit NYC. While the two stars squabble, seeming stuck in their unwillingness to compromise or get to know each other in the least, two anonymous tumblr users strike up a friendship without knowing anything about each other ‘IRL’. As fate would have it, two worlds collide. Can two people connect without outside forces getting in the way, or is the sudden lack of anonymity a death sentence for the budding relationship, strengthened by the cutthroat nature of fame?

~~~~~

Fake Relationship by @nineofhearts4

movie stars!Kurt and Blaine

~~~~~

Rumor Has It by @xxxraquelita

When their careers took off, and took them from New York to Los Angeles, Blaine and Kurt had dealt with their agents and friends all giving them the same advice -- end their engagement if they wanted to be successful. So they had. It took years for for any of it to come back to them, but when it did, it certainly did, and the truth was more than anyone anticipated.

~~~~~

Sur Mesure by @hazelandglasz

Kurt Hummel is the famous fashion designer, who wears a cuff around his wrist and says that his soulmate’s name is his own business, but jokes at interviews about it. Blaine Anderson is a young, successful singer-songwriter who does the same things, keeping the name hidden from everyone. But what happens when he accidentally tweets a picture where his soulmate’s name is visible to everyone?

~~~~~

Teenage Dreams and Movie Scenes by saraklaine

Urgh... Blaine Anderson is famous singer. Kurt Hummel is even more famous actor. Kurt Hummel is youtube star cause he has a major crush on Blaine Anderson and his 4 best friends like to tape him while he swoons over said singer. They're assholes, but not really. What happens when 4 mental patients such as them corner Blaine just so their best friend can get a chance to meet him? (note: it’s not marked as completed but it is!).

~~~~~

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my own fic...

Butterfly Wings by @hkvoyage

A fashion blog started at University launched Blaine Anderson’s fortune and fame. As Vogue’s new editor-in-chief, he is struggling to find an original angle for an upcoming issue. Kurt Hummel has recently arrived in New York City after finishing high school, and is having no luck building a musical theater career, so he decides to explore another passion of his: fashion. He applies for an internship at Vogue, and Isabelle sees in him the perfect fresh face to liven up the magazine, and convinces him to try out as a model. Kurt meets Blaine, and in spite of their 10-year age difference, sparks fly. Can they overcome misunderstandings and sabotage to find their happily-ever-after? Klaine model AU.

Happy reading!HKVoyage

I think you're a beautiful person, and I hope things get better for you. How about we talk about some positive parts of the show! I love how many different personalities there are, there's no "copy and paste" among the characters. I love how everyone is so complex and unique. In last night's episode, I loved how Margo was given permission to have feelings other than anger. I love how Fen is allowed to be kind and soft, and is a strong character. What are your favourite parts?

Thanks,

IRL had been hitting me down with a frying pan lately and getting up is hard. Im working out really hard on being better and I wished it didn't show on Tumblr but there is a time where you need to think and take care of yourself first.

There is a lot of things i love about the show and I will do a list of it, I hope other add to it and we remember why this show is important and matter, despite its flaws.

How women are not a plot devise for male characters

How even background character have multidimensional

How they show disability with Margo’s eye and the dean blindness (though I wish we’d see Gretchen more)

The costume goes from found at H&M to hand made craftmanship by Magali Guidasci

The many bts and interaction the cast and writers have with their fans, they are not distant and its rare, lets remember this is a blessing

How no character is perfect, they have deep visceral flaws, they make mistake, they do dumb shit, and we still love them.

The legendary quotes they gave us

How being a nerd and accepted is part of the show but not the main focus; Q is a nerd but so much more and the show isn't about how to fit in like a nerd but how to fit in and stay yourself.

Hale amazing performance as the monster to a point I don’t see him as Eliot anymore. Which is creepy and crazy.

Julia’s arc blooming into ‘’ People heals’’ and how important it is for many who had her fate or worse

Mental health representation! From depression to anxiety, to ptsd, to dependence, to anger management to actual meltdown of grief

The empowerment of women by women. It is amazing to see them helping each other and not just walking on one another

How one emotion is portrait differently. (Per example how Q and Margo grieve Eliot is completely different)

BUNNIES

Kady was supposed to die and they love Jade so much they re-wrote the end of episode one

Summer refused to wear make up in her desert episode because Margo isn't that vain.

The small things an actor decide to do that end up being a character important choice (I.e Jason shaking his hand when he’s Q but not Beast!Q)

The fact that Julia still struggles with the idea of being a goddess or a mortal and try her best to make a choice and don’t know what to do. If this isn’t a big mood for any important decision a millennial struggle with, I don’t know what is.

Its filmed in Canada, which YAY my country

The sheer amount of Fanfiction there is and how omg they are so good y’all are good writers

The cast and crew understanding how much the show means for us and trying to give us a space to talk and even sharing bts with us!

Im sorry but Fish Josh? Yes

Musical episode. Fuck I love them.

Margo realizing that she can still be a tough woman and be in love is important because the narrative in media is that either you are a bitch and alone or sweet and surrounded by people that use you. Women never wins.

The fandom growing love for Fen warms my heart as I was the only one defending her for almost a year once.

How we can ship everyone with everyone and no one is mad. You ship penny x josh? Why not! There is 39 other timeline one might have that!

Or, you ship a character with two people... OT3 BABY

It went from Harry Potter with drug and alcohol to Millenial try to fight gods and inner demons

There are no fight books against the show, people take them as a separate piece of art and SCREAM when they both collide in amazingness (Aka the desert episode, Q yelling at a plant, the seven key, Abigail)

Lev being supportive of the creator exploring and expanding the worlds! I adore the library, Fillorian lore, what is magic outside of Brakebills

Seeing the character being a young adult and growing int being adult

Also what I love about the show is the fandom

You guys not only helped me out of my depression (though it has a relapse for the past week) but you encourage me to be me.

You supported my crazy idea of starting the Neitherlands library with @noe-gg as a place for pieces of information about the show and we are proud of this blog

You backed my crazy plan of a dnd book and the Kickstarter is over 500% financed, which blows my mind and will help me be able to take of work and sit down and write to give you better stuff

I wrote nearly 300k fanfic in a second language and instead of being mean to my mistake, you helped me, offered your advice and helped me grew as a writer

I was with a group of friend in High School that was super good at drawing so I wasn't allowed to try even if I wasn't that good. You supported me even when my first doodles are shaky and still makes me want to be better by your comments

There is no artist battle, we all help and support each other!

I fucking learn photoshop cause I wanted to gif the show and people came and help me be better

The gatekeeping is about being kind and open and not a shipping war or character war.

Physical Kids podcast is a must listen and truly amazing work by fans for fans

Hey the podcast I made too are not half bad

COSPLAYERS. YES. KEEP GOING.

People out of the US without Syfy helping each other to watch the show live.

There is no popular blog vs the others. (Not that I know of)

Blogs encouraging other blogs to create. YES.

We are all broken, but broken together. This fandom is my Brakebills, my physical kids cottage. One of the rare place I felt I belong for the first time

#the magicians #this is a love letter to the show and the fandom #A Bunny #cath answers a bunny

Thanks for the detailed response! I’m starting to get some ideas 👀

Faking dating is definitely a favorite of mine too! And I love AUs of all kinds, but especially college AUs and sports AUs (which is weird because I don’t watch or follow sports at all irl)

You mentioned that you like supernatural elements. Are there certain ones that you like more than others? Do you prefer when the characters themselves are supernatural beings or when the characters are regular humans but something supernatural is happening around them?

Do you have any other fanfic jams that weren’t covered by my previous questions? Just want to make sure I know what you like!!

I hope you’re having a great day!

💕❤️ Your secret valentine ❤️💕

All the fake dating and AUs for us!! Isn't it funny how we can love reading fic about a topic that normally wouldn't interest us? I'm not that into sports either, but I love a good sports AU too! And we have so many good ones in this fandom. 👀

Give me all the supernatural elements, honestly, but to narrow it down for ya: I love when magical shenanigans happen, maybe a spell goes awry, a curse has to be broken, etc. Or when one character is a supernatural being and the other finds out. I love seeing what happens when the natural and supernatural worlds collide. The more off-the-wall, the better. 😂

As far as other jams... the problem is, Valentine, that I like everything!

Let's say the Brewers, banter, queer themes, Patrick's curls, or someone in glasses (doesn't matter who). I'm also a sucker for a meet-cute, and I prefer early or developing relationship to established.

Do with that what you will, my friend. And happy Friday or nearly-Friday depending on your time zone! I hope you have fun and/or restful weekend things planned. 💟

9, 12, 28, 31 (VERY IMPORTANT), 36, 47, 48

9. what’s one show you thought you’d hate but turned out to really enjoy? i didn't think i'd HATE it but i didn't expect to like 911... like i only watched it bc of buckley-diaz family gifs and figured i'd maybe half watch it at best bc the emergenices are a little extra and its not my favorite format. but clearly that uh...didn't work out like that.

12. have you ever watched a show just for a specific actor? did you enjoy it? yeah all the time. i swear half the shit i watch is for a specific actor. i only watch superman & lois for hoechlin, although i accidentally got attached to that one too 😂 i'll probably half ass watch oliver's show into the badlands bc he's pretty; i've watched the first episode. i've watched all of dylan's one off episodes of things. i watched defending jacob bc of chris evans. political animals and kings for sebastian... etc. etc. etc. haha i am very predictable.

28. who would be your dream cameo on your favourite show? oh god i nerd out hardcore over worlds colliding type shit so if any of my teen wolf faves cameoed on 911 i would freak out. i feel like hoechlin's the best fit, gimme some accidentally half-naked hoechlin at an emergency please and thank you. get a little jealous!eddie in there and OH MAN pure joy.

31. do you use subtitles while watching TV if you can? not usually no, but i do put them on sometimes if i'm watching something not in english. like i'll put spanish subtitles on if i'm watching something in spanish. but most of the time i just fiddle with the volume and/or pause/rewind if needed. they don't bother me though, so we can have subtitles when we binge all of 911 in 3 days 😉

36. what TV character would you die for? oof CHRISTOPHER and eddie diaz LORD and derek hale and stiles stilinski

47. are there any shows you love but your friends aren’t interested in? none of my irl friends watch any of my fandom shows (tw, 911). husband thinks they are both ridiculous but he particularly loathes 911 😂

48. are there any shows your friends love but you aren’t interested in? yeah, lots of them. parenthood is one a couple people have tried to get me into. uhhhh i know there are lots more but i can't think. husband watches lots of space stuff and shit that's too scary for me to handle haha.

💜💜

Fangirl Asks...

I know, I know. This has taken me 5-ever to complete. Thank you to @bbcshipper , @elasticmonk , @fourteen-teacups @thatginchygal and @like-an-officer-and-a-sergeant for tagging me in this fandom questionaire. I really enjoyed doing it, and got kinda loquacious with my response. This is definitely worthy of a Reaad More break!

@bbcshipper asked:

1. How much do your real life friends/family know about your fandom life? My family knows, or think they know. Friends, nope. They know I’m a fan, but have no idea of the extent of my madness. I hold back with “normals.”

2. Have you ever embarrassed yourself fangirling? I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about.

3. What’s a recurring theme of fanfictions of you OTP that you find annoying/dislike? Live and let live, and all, but I avoid nun smut.

4. What are some prompts/ideas you might want explored more in fanfic? (asking this one for some ideas, hope that’s okay!) I love fluff, of course, but I really enjoy fics that explore the real-world, ordinary problems and compromises that come with marriage.

5. What’s the meaning behind your tumblr name? There’s an Everly Brother’s song of the same name, and my Grandmother used to sing it to me. I commissioned an artist to make a stained-glass yellowbird and its become a sort of talisman.

6. Favorite moment(s) with your OTP? The hand kiss, the misty road, “What’s she like?” the so-sexy almost kiss in the tent, Teddy’s birth (I know. Don’t @ me. I complain about the story arc, but I’m not heartless)

7. How far would you travel to meet your OTP in real life? If I were to meet them IRL, I’d have to pretend I was someone else. I’m not good with worlds colliding.

8.Do you have a playlist for your OTP? (again, looking for ideas!) Sorry, not really. I’m terrible with playlists. There was an old Youtube video featuring Pink and Nate Ruess of “Just Give Me a Reason” that gets to me.

9. What about your real life would shock your OTP? Shelagh might find it odd that Patrick looks remarkably like Mr. Birdy.

10. What have you learned from being a part of the fandom? I’ve learned a great deal about how different people cope with anxieties.

11. What’s the best thing about your fandom? My friends.

@elasticmonk asked:

1. What was your first fandom? Call the Midwife is my first true-blue, throw-yourself-into-it fandom.

2. What’s your favorite thing about your main fandom now? People get me.

3. What is your main fandom? Turnadette (sorry--do people actually have others? jk)

4. Who is your favorite character of all time? I can’t think of one, honestly, but I’ll say Molly Weasley, because of the next question.

5. What three quality’s do you think you share with your favorite character (of anything)? Molly Weasley is devoted to her family, not afraid to love them and not let them get away ith nonsense, and brave enough to stand up for right.

6. Where would you like to see your OTP vacation and why? I’d like to see them at the beach in Torquay. If Shelagh could wear the yellow swimsuit with the white band across the top, that would be ideal. In fact, if they could live out any of my fics, I’d be a very happy bird.

7. What’s your favorite gif from your fandom? I don’t know how to post an annotated gif mid-post, so I’ll just describe it. It involves tiptoes, dancing, and a giant hand sprawled across a tiny back.

8. What’s your favorite picture from your fandom? NGL

9. Who was your first OTP? I guess I shipped Jo and Prof Bhaer as a kid?

10. When did you start your main fandom? I lurked through 2013 and into 2014. I was very wary of the internet world, so when I finally identified myself, my palms were sweaty! (My very first post was my first fic ever!)

11. AU or canon complaint fanfiction? Canon-compliant, but I will read AU if it’s done in a way that sheds a new light on the characters.

@thatginchygal asked:

1. What was the first fanfic you ever read? I can’t remember the first Call the Midwife fic I ever read. It was all such a blur!! But...I think the first ever fic-like thing I ever read was a published Star Trek novel by A.C. Crispin, entitled Ishmael. It was a mash-up of Star Trek and Here Come the Brides. So, so right.

2. What was the first fanfic you ever wrote (if any)? Not Listening

3. Your last text message is the title of your next fanfic. What is it (and a brief summary)?

“I got you a glow stick.” It was for a candlelight march. I wonder...now i may have to do some research into marches in London in the early 1960′s...Or reinterpret that text for an altogether different purpose...

4. Do you keep your fandom interests a secret from your RL family/friends?

No, it’s not a secret. At least, not generally. My feeling is, I have nothing to be embarrassed about, so if they want to see, then go look. If they have a problem with anything they see, that would be on them. Fortunately, their respect for my right to have something just for myself--added to a little bit of fear of what they might find--keeps them away.

5. What is one of your favorite scenes between your OTP? I think Im going to pick the almost kiss in the tent. It’s SoMarried!! and very sexy. But you know, add about 100 more scenes and I’m good.

6. Do you have a playlist for your OTP? Sorry, no.

7. Why do I suck at coming up with these questions?? You’re better than I am!

8. Would you want to live in the ‘world’ of your favorite fandom? Maybe visit? Probably not. I’m content to watch from here.

9. What is your favorite piece of fandom merchandise? Oh, this is so easy. I have the companion books to the series, a boatload of Nonnatun Holiday cards, my Yellowbird stained glass statue, but what I love the most are the crocheted Yellowbird my friend Soph made me, and the Yellowbird Christmas card Mushy sent me this year. It’s framed!

In the fall of 2015, a group of lucky Nonnatuns went to a CtM panel that featured Heidi Thomas, Stephen McGann, Jenny Agutter, Emerald Fennell and Dame Pippa Harris. A week later I recieved this promotional post card in the mail:

I have to admit, I was a little teary when I saw it, mostly because I was so touched that in the midst of their own fun, two friends had me in their thoughts. They told the panelists about me, and how their show had helped to build friendships. Everyone signed messages to me on the back. I’m pretty sure HT’s message included an invite to tea.

10. Have you ever drifted away from a fandom only to be sucked back in (perhaps by a new season or change of storyline)? Not really.

11. Do you prefer canon-compliant fanfic or AUs? Definitely Canon-compliant.

@fourteen-teacups asked:

1. How did you come to join your first online fandom? Blame Call the Midwife.

2. If your first fangirling obsession pre-dates access to fandoms, what was the show and/or your OTP? In college, a friend was a huge Start Trek fan. By default, I got interested (alas, not obsessed).

3. If your OTP came to visit you in your town (in present day) where would you take them? We have a lot of parks suitable for camping. I could take them there to see a lovely site, then bring them back to my house for a nice cuppa and fresh sheets.

4. What three things do you have in common with your favorite character?

5. What prop would you most like to have from your favorite show? (I borrowed this question from a behind the scenes CtM interview.) The photograph of the cricket team on the surgery mantle and Shelagh’s long-lost sunflower brooch.

6. Same question but for an article of clothing. I want the Tan Overcoat of Love.

7. Where would you like to see your OTP go on vacation and why? See Elasticmonk q6

8. Do you have a) multiple OTPs; or are you b) a one-OTP-at-a-time person? I have a great appreciation for many OTP’s, but for me, there can be only one.

9. In question 8, if you answered a) list your top three OTPs; if you answered b) what was the OTP you dropped for your current one?

10. If you lurked in your fandom before joining (or even if you didn’t), is there a fellow fan whom you consider “famous” in the fandom that makes you fangirl whenever they comment on your posts? I was desperate for @this-unruly-heart to notice me! One day she messaged me asking if I was the one who wrote a "Letters” fic that she loved.

11. Was there a particular person who was especially welcoming and/or helpful when you first joined your current fandom? Many of the Nonnatuns of old that were supportive of my early efforts have moved on to other things, but the boost they gave to my confidence was immeasurable. Oh, and Sarge, too!

@like-an-officer-and-a-sergeant asked:

1. When did you start taking part in fandom(s)? I dipped my toe into the Star Trek fandom back in the late 1980′s. A dear friend was a huge fan, and her enthusiam was contagious. Sadly, she died in December 1988, and I had to leave fandoms behind. Then, in 2005 we moved away from the very close world we had built, and I was lonely. I started to look around for period dramas to watch and stumbled upon North and South. I was unbelievably grateful it wasn’t the old Civil War mini-series, and I started to read everything I could find. I came across C-19, and found fanfic as I now know it. As much as I enjoyed it though, I wasn’t ready to participate as anything other than a lurker until Call the Midwife came along.

2. Which fandoms? Sorry, I think I answered that in th eprevious response

3. How long did you stay? Ibid

4. Did you write fanfics? Yes, although sometimes I need a kick in the butt to make sure it doesn’t become a past tense thing.

5. Any memorable funny event in your fandoms? So many ridiculous things have happenned here. Hiatus Challenges, Limericks (!!!), Twitter responses (remember when HT used to answer our questions? Flat/house! Names!), Nonnatun Holiday Card Exchanges...It seems that the funniest things would come out of nowhere.

6. Did you get long-time friends? (even as Real People)? Definitely. There are people I have met here that I feel I know as well or better than people IRL. And one poor soul has had to bear meeting me in person and somehow still continues to be my friend.

So here are my questions.

How has fangirling made an impact in your life?

What makes fangirling most worthwhile to you?

What have you learned about yourself by being a part of a fandom?

I tag: @elasticmonk @thatginchygal @fourteen-teacups @like-an-officer-and-a-sergeant @lovetheturners @hihereami @pellucidthings @gabolange @missouiser @ilovemushystuff @it-is-bugs @crinklybrownleaves @majsmom @missbergmans @miss-ute @snoopctm @mg-bsl381 @turnt4turnadette @cooldoyouhaveaflag @eatapinkwafer @weshallc @westcoastwilma @skerri @beatrix-franklin @alice1nwond3rland @sincerelygeertje @silentkw @flyingnonny @anamarialujan @purple-roses-words-and-love @bloghey131313 @poplarpatience @soibhanmannion @kaguyahime1224

and anyone else who sees this. My fingers are tired.
