#nightcrawler u will always be FAMOUS

[dapper-comedy]

Uh oh scoob.... sth is happening to me...... (it's the need to see kurt wagner again)

[beware-of-you-98]

Why do some state’s cryptids just go all out? Because what do you mean West Virginia has a giant fucking moth and a robot drag queen, and California has pants with sentience and Pennsylvania has something that literally looks exactly like the name??? It’s so silly

[miniwolfsbane]

Copied from @andalite-angel post. Edited slightly.

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, etc. are allowed.

Biospecialist, Marco/Rachel, Sam/Rahne, all cannon Disney Princess pairings, the two young kids Pacific Rim Uprising,  Lancitty, Evo Kurt/ Amanda,  Jott in Evo. Skyward??

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or ***** that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

Fanfic writers and Evo romy, adult Jubilee x Gambit, others.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

Never gonna be big on Evo Romy ever again, will forever hate Rahne x Roberto, Sam and Rahne with anyone but each other!!

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

Evo Romy...somtimes. Because it does sorta make sense IN FANNON, but not in cannon. And Jean x Scott, because it’s so iconic, but I only like them in Evo, so...yah.

E - Have you added anything cracky crazy/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what? 

See my fan fiction.

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

The Little Mermaid and Star Trek have been there for 95% of my life.

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, Sam/Rahne, Ariel and Eric (first when I was 5, even though I wanted to be Ariel), Rachel Tobias (first when I was actually gettin into fandom), Jake/Cassie (Animorphs), Clark/Lana, Clark/Lois (I think??) and Chloe/Ollie, Romy (even in Evo at a point!), and now Eliza and Goliath in Gargoyles. I keep saying I’m not a shipper, but I think I’m just a subtle one that pines and doesn’t read a lot of fanfic, but my heart swells over seeing my OTP on screen

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

TV Shows and Western (superhero) Animation mostly, but also a few animes.

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

I was annoyed by the Agents Of Shield fandoms behavior for a while, but I’ve never stopped liking any fandoms because of Tumblr. 

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)

SuperWhoLock, Riverdale...some other popular teen shows.

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

Tie between Sailor Moon and Gambit I guess, but I’m sure there are lots of others. Sailor Jupiter has a good arc as well, even though she doesn’t have a lot of character development TBH.

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

Roberto Dacosta’s super strength power is pretty cool and he’s a chill guy. And rich. (I just realized that a lot of X-Men characters are rich, actually. Gambit, Xavier, Warren and him. Holy crap.)

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Moon. TAS Rogue too, because she seems fun to hang with, and who wouldn’t like to be called “Sugah” all the time?

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

MORE GAMBIT (and comic Nightcrawler) IMAGINES!! And just more love and less fan wars across all fandoms, really.

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

Hero by Chad Kroger. Ship: Romy or Mollyx Remy. Character: Gambit or Angel.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

For any fandom? A mad scientist and a famous baker get together after the scientist contacts aliens, resulting in a warring invasion on earth.

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

To be perfectly honest, The Smurfs because we’re a Christain household and we found it had stuff in it we didn’t agree with. I was three.  Other than that, I’ve only given up one other fandom permenantly that wasn’t what I thought it was and chosen at a bad time. 

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

Kurt and Kitty in Evo, and Logan and Kurt is cool, but I don’t actually pay much attention to it.

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

Hmmm. One that isn’t too boring? Remy isn’t (wasn’t? He is married now) particular about a woman’s height and is comfortable enough with himself to date a woman much taller or shorter than he is. (Remember, Frenzy was freaking 6′7 before she got rebooted to a normal height and it was implied they had history.) For a while it was a wish of mine they’d pair him with a short gal, because all X-women are physically clones of each other, minus Rahne, Kitty and Jubilee. Blargh. Oooh, just had an idea for a new art project to make the girls look individual! ^_^

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

Besides the above? Uh...headcannon that Remy smells good and his hair is silky to the touch and yes I’m a sick, weird little person, I know. Haha, not really. I’m not much of a headcannon person. 

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

* Gambit: Hot, suave, lit, accent, good cook, romantic, my fictional ideal man (told you, I’m sick and weird). * Sailor Jupiter: Sweet, loyal, living on her own at bloody 14 years old, strong physically and emotionally, had trouble believing/finding her feminity like me, tall (not like me!), brunette character, thunder powers. * Tuvok (Star Trek): My second crush ever, calm, reflective, hot grandpa, sarcasm galore, strong, suffers emotionally and physically, POC and like the only black vulcan that I know of, cute little boy chest, that butt (XD), frakin’ hot.

V - Which character do you relate to most?

Surprisingly, one I haven’t talked about yet and that I’m not really fandom-y about. Rapunzel from Tangled. When I saw the movie, I was attached to her immediately. I’d grown up homeschooled and at that point I’d been caregiving for one of my parents for six years at that point, unable to move out and get married and have much of a life, so I was always metaphorically in a tower too. I have childish interests, am artistic and creative, have done LOTS of self-insert art like her, and am a generally happy person (even if I don’t always show it and don’t smile enough). So, out of every character in my many fandoms, I relate to Rapunzel the most. Also, I have only 2 things of Tangled merch-the movie, the soundtrack, and a gorgeous bedspread that’s actually based on the show, but doesn’t look like it. (I don’t like it’s animation/character designs, so it’s been hard to get into it.)

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

OMG, do we have to go here? Anything over-sexualized or kinky or just plain gross/weird. (v***, gore, ect.) There’s this one X-Men:Evo artist on DA that would be brilliant, but I can’t stomach their gallery because they feel the need to do a few  v*** and bondage pics amongst otherwise G-rated pictures. *throws up* IT’S A SHOW FOR 7-YEAR OLDS!! 

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Huge guy, Tiny girl! (but it looks...weird...in live action. *Good Luck Charlie flashbacks*.) Also age differences. Some people are put off by Usagi and Mamo’s age difference in Classic, but I think it’s cute and they were really chaste about it. Specifically, I liked the part where he told her to do well in school for some reason. 

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)? Holy crap, Pride and Prejudice and Anne of Green Gables. No one on my dash is into them though, it’s a real life thing. Long story.

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

I have written more self-inserts than is probably healthy, but at least I’ve mostly gotten past my teenage phase of thinking anime guys are hot and it’s extended to Gambit as well. I’d much rather see him be portrayed by a living, breathing actor semi-bringing my fantasies to life than as a drawn character. Well, not that I’m not happy seeing him animated and his voice in Evo is still super hot, but that’s another thing. Anyway, on that note, I wish XM:E weren’t a dead fandom and I could get more reviews instead of just faves/follows. I get so frustrated, because I’m not writing my fics for myself, I’m writing them to finish the story and for the fans. I know OCs/SI aren’t everyones bread and butter, but when you work hard on something, you want people to enjoy and appreciate it on it’s own merits. My regulars dropped off the planet and the fandom is just not that active online. (It’s still kind of active though, otherwise the Gambit and other prints on Steven Gordon’s online store wouldn’t have sold out so fast.) I wish it had been as creative as the MLP fandom, but even that wouldn’t have saved it. Thankfully, there are a few people “keeping the faith”, like Coldfusion180 and some others. They haven’t abandoned it and people have made AMVs for it in recent years, long after the shows cancellation. I know we’ve all moved on in one way or another, but it’s still nice to see the love for the show and it’s characters going strong, even if we’re now a niche fandom, tiny, but there. And even if I don’t get another single review up until the last in the series, at least I can say I finished it, if nothing else. Even if your fandom is dead, keep supporting it. If we don’t keep the characters alive, they die and are forgotten. They need us.

A: All Seems Beautiful, K, O, Q, U, W, Y, Z. I'm just so curious about EVERYTHING lol

thanks!! answered K and Y elsewhere

A: How did you come up with the title to [insert fic]?

For All Seems Beautiful, the title comes from a line in a Walt Whitman poem, “Song of the Open Road.” The full quote is

All seems beautiful to me, I can repeat over to men and womenYou have done such good to meI would do the same to you

It doesn’t hold a secret about ASB’s plot (I’m terrible with titles btw). I used to have it in chapter one of ASB, but I’ve since decided I want to use it in the final chapter, because it best reflects the takeaway I’m going for. I suppose it’s weird to steal from a great poet for a digimon fanfiction, but “Yagami Taichi and the Randomly Disappearing Limbs” simply didn’t have the right ring to it.

O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters?

Usually the characters. For example, ASB began because I wanted to write specifically about Taichi, and also because I wanted to revisit and say good-bye to (hahahaahahahahahahahha) my childhood favorite show. But at the same time, there were so many subplots that never got explained (at least before Tri), and I had always wanted to try to answer the remaining questions myself. So that’s how I got the plot.

Q: How do you feel about collaborations?

They’re fun now and then. There’s this one Bleach collab that I can’t remember the name of it anymore, but it was a sequel fic in which Aizen won the battle and everything went to hell. That was pretty good although I didn’t finish reading it. Of course Shoebox project is a collab and I like that a lot. My main beef with collabs is when it’s obvious which writer is writing which part. Or when a fic say “this is a collab” but it’s obviously copy-paste from a roleplay they did rather ineptly. :P But ymmv.

U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

ok ok ok

myselfonly - Has an interesting take on Legolas and Mirkwood Elves and writes amazingly from Gimli’s perspective.

eimeo - Writes beautiful, detailed, heart-wrenching Spock/Kirk fic

Thundera Tiger - I’ve long been a fan of her Lord of the Rings fanfiction, focusing on Legolas and Gimli, or the Three Hunters + Faramir

the seventeenth step - lots of really well-written Holmes/Watson bookverse fic. I wouldn’t say I think they are strictly IC here, but I think while reading them, you feel like “yes, this is IC.” There is a d/s underscore that I don’t care for but it’s not played up at all, of main importance is the build up of their relationship, their miscommunications, their real feelings, etc. I just love how she writes Watson in particular.

special mention (I’ve only read the one fic from them):

Book & Bell by SeriousMistakes - TRC AU, Kurofai - this fic is just really nicely written and creative, and I love it’s take on Fai in particular. This writer likes to indulge his slightly off-beat wizard side, which I see more rarely in fic than his mother hen side, and which I think is more difficult to pull off well.

Not Less Than Everything by rexluscus - X-men, Nightcrawler/Wolverine - so famous among logurt fans! Not a sweet fic! A very turbulent fic! Don’t expect to be satisfied and happy at the end!

Leave No Soul Behind by whochick - Kirk/Spock Star Trek Reboot AU - I haven’t finished reading this one but it’s so well-written/well-researched and amazing to read.

W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?

Both are good but I think I’d say specific ones. You might feel like it boxes you in, but there’s so much inspiration in the challenge to focus inside the box, instead of all what’s happening around it.

Z: Major character death–do you ever write/read it? Is there a character whose death you can’t tolerate?

I don’t have any issues with character death, but I like it to be part of a larger story. I don’t really enjoy sad one-shots about a character’s death unless they’re really well written and interesting - most tend to just be sad.

I don’t care what anyone else does, but personally I could never kill KAMIYA KAORU
