JOSIE! OMG! This is gonna be an odd little ask but I was looking for Peterick rec lists and found yours and your username just rang a bell so I scratched my head for a while and then remembered the old dreamwidth/livejournal days and because I still have the same Gmail I found some of our old conversations from there! You definitely most likely won't remember, I used to manuanya on LJ but anyway aside from sounding like a massive weirdo and creep I actually just wanted to pop in here and say that it is SO GOOD to see that you're still into FOB and all that! Anyway, sorry for sounding a little creepy maybe!
OMIGOSH MANU!!! <33 Of course I remember you, it's not creepy at all! Aww this is so cool! I always wondered where all my lj/dw friends ended up, especially you! - the ones I'm still in touch with have left the fandom. But I'm still here! Took a break for a bit but I'll always be a bandom loyalist <3 I'm so happy you found me!!! How are you??
when you're into the Big Ship™ in a Big Fandom™, you have the luxury of having an OTP - a real One True Pairing, where you can read about just them for ages, and you will never run out of fics, and everything is perfect and beautiful and nothing hurts
but when you go to a smaller fandom, you'd better pray to whatever god you worship that someone else in this room ships the same thing that you do, and that if they do, they're writing more than late-night crackfic, because you're on thin fucking ice!
and how small is your small fandom? is it less than 100 fics? maybe even...less than 20 fics?
welp, then it's time to make peace with that god and either open up a text document or learn how to ship everything, because it's swim or drown babey! and your ship is sinking fast
anyway all of this is to say that after hanging out in small fandoms and shipping less-common pairings for a while, going back into a Big Huge Fandom™ is wild because suddenly it's like...wait, why didn't I ship these people again? I don't remember. why was I only sticking to one ship in this fandom?? boring of me, honestly. these guys should make out.
After a looooong wait, my Mononoke 2007 community was approved!
I figure this could be a place for those in our small fandom to find each other, and perhaps a good place to post for those who haven't yet created dedicated Mononoke side blogs. Please feel no obligation to join if not interested. This is pretty much a "worth a shot" experiment, especially as we're all figuring out how this new feature is supposed to work.
I was sketching bertie wooster today, and I suddenly remembered that my teenage self had drawn bertie wooster too
and that my teenage self had even submitted that drawing to a LIVEJOURNAL COMMUNITY called indeedsir (back in the days when livejournal communities still existed).
so i dug through my old computer files to find the old fanart and
yeah. 10 years. wow. it went by just like that.
the sages were right. the years really do start coming and they don't stop coming.
oh and here i was thinking it had something to do with akio being a groomer and a rapist. and perhaps also the whole fucking her mom behind her back thing. clearly i don't understand the show as well as i thought

good bookmark to have for all mcr show videos and pictures in chronological order and linked. my biggest bestest mcr collection. 99.7% mcr scans are from mcrhollywood.blogspot.com c. 2011. most mcr flyers are from theydrewblood.blogspot.com the other sources are on the home page
which now has all links organized by standalone websites, flickrs, livejournals and youtube. (for most all) mcr pictures and videos in one place at least. shows, interviews, losts of videos, mcr scans big time, flyers, old website screenshots, a great place for those who like to study/hyperfixate on mcr.
all youtube shows from the edits/comments of setlist.fm. I have shared all links to tumblr but had to spread it across several posts. all tumblr link threads below:
"walt was a criminal mastermind who knew how to cover his tracks" mf he left a fruity present signed by a murdered man who cooked meth with him just sitting out in his fucking bathroom at home. gale's penis deliriousness for that old man brought down his entire meth empire
saw someone on twitter talking about 2015-2018 bandom and that “new fans will never understand” they should let me kill people im so serious. how are you not embarrassed having a superiority complex about a genre/fandom you were already ten years late to. grow up
