9 Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

tagged my @defeateddetectives ^_^ thank you <33

3 ships you like: hmm see which three should I pick here... let's say komahina (danganronpa. yes), bruabba (jjba p5) and just to spice things up, momoko and ichi from maiko-san chi no makanai (really lovely food centric manga about two girls who move to kyoto to become maiko but one of them ends up becoming the cook at the maiko house instead. sometimes frustrates me because of how strong the gay "undertones" are and then the author seems to insist on pursuing a het love triangle/probably het end game with a dude who has a comparatively shallow relationship with his love interest. anyway ever since the flashback chapters came out ive been shipping the house mother and sumire's geiko onee-san because if there's one throughline in my top ships, it's older side characters with some kind of tragic/emotionally fraught relationship LOL.) propaganda:

"Yuuko never let anyone in her room before she became a trainee. [...] For her to be swapping beds with others is... no, it's just Azusa."

(They have each other's apartment keys. She comes over and sleeps in her room. Halfsies!!!)

(This is basically a marriage proposal to me)

first ship ever: ...I think it was karkat/terezi from homestuck. This is kind of funny but before I really got into fandom or when I was just beginning, my approach to text was basically reading it with the most surface level/likely reading. I literally didn't understand why people would ship characters who I "knew" would never get together in canon. I didn't see the point in it LOL to me shipping was like horse racing or something, you ship the characters who are the most likely to end up together. This is also very funny in retrospect considering what happened with that particular ship but I had long moved on from it by the time davekat was canonized so I was happy.

last song you heard: either burning desire by lana del rey (blaming mirai for this) or alan stivell's ian morrisson reel

favourite childhood book: i don't think i had or have a favorite one ummm I was really into the secret series by pseudonymous bosch when i was a kid

currently reading: hmm i'm keeping up with maiko-san and ekuoto (make the exorcist fall in love. it's neat i recommend it though i'm not a big fan of the art style), and I was reading the oofuri manga which i should get back to but currently my attention is being taken up by natsuyuu lol. as for non-manga though the last thing I read before natsuyuu was Devil Venerable Also Wants To Know which is SO GOOD and i had more art ideas in mind for it which i want to get back to at some point...

currently watching: I don't watch a whole lot of stuff. I'm keeping up with the dunmeshi anime but tbh i really don't like the coloring for it. the art is okay but ryoko kui's art is kind of unmatched. it's just nice to have something to watch with my friend every week. also i've been doing a natsuyuu anime rewatch in anticipation of s7 with a friend whose never seen it before

currently consuming: nothing but i just had some crazy noodles. leftover curry in a pan + frozen corn + instant noodles = yummy

currently craving: nothing because i am now full :D

ill tag @ponimado @tattoosingarishhues @beguinemystic @dysaniium @moritzallein @somapodra @garbageg0blin @chuck-charles @joelletwo as always this is just if you wanna!

I’m self-aware enough to be irritated by excessive positivity, rather than simply getting tired and wondering why I did things I didn’t think I would enjoy.

Laziness, impatience, and hubris.

When I’m going along with a crowd too much, I’ll start to dissociate and be forced to pay attention, so I’m somewhat resistant to doing dumb things as part of a mob.

Special interests make it easy for me to learn certain things, and some of them are actually useful.

I have enough demand avoidance to force me outside the box, without having so much that I instantly fail at life. (I’m sending this to either 9 or 11 people, not 10)

[thingsthatcauseautism]

Biting into a chocolate chip cookie only to find out that it was oatmeal raisin gave me autism.

this is absolutely heartbreaking, who even brought it into your space and presence to allow such a situation?

[pureicegames]

About singing auditions: Is it okay to send more than one song? I'm not quite sure which one is best for my vocal range. Also, do I have to sing the full song, or is just one verse and chorus fine?

It’s totally okay to sing more than one song! And you don’t have to do a full one. Just submit what you think will show off the best of your ability.

somapodra replied to your text post

Unfortunately, my rarepair is from a fandom that gets very little fanfiction[...]

See I was expecting you to say the opposite, because if your rarepair is from a fandom that gets tons of fic but not for that specific pairing, yuletide is useless to you. The whole fandom has to be relatively rare to qualify.

Several of my gifts received and at least one that I wrote were the first AO3 fic for the fandom at all.

I know there’s another exchange that is rarepair specific, but I never take part in that one. Something about being absolutely required to write about a specific pairing makes me feel more constrained and struggle to come up with something, whereas the longer lists of things people submit for yuletide gives me more wiggle room to find something that I think they’ll like and I think I can write. Even for pairings that I ship myself, if I know I HAVE to write a romantic Janeway/Seven story, all of a sudden it seems more daunting. 

(I don’t think J/7 really counts as rare, it was just a random example of a pairing that I have read a lot of, am in favor of, and yet would struggle if I was told this was the only thing I was allowed to write.)
