I'm in a shippy mood, so I grabbed this ask meme I found on tumblr:

Name a ship that feels like home.
Name a ship that you love but have conflicted feelings over.
Name a ship that you love to share with others.
Name a ship that you love but struggle to understand.
Name a ship that is different from all other ships.
Name a ship that most represents your type of ship.
Name a ship that reminds you of a personal relationship.
Name a ship that is just yours.
Name a ship that is perfect just the way it is.
Name a ship that is funny.
Name a ship that is sweet.
Name a ship that is tragic.
Name a ship that is slow burn.
Name a ship that is timeless.
Name a ship that is gender bending.
Name a ship in which you love all characters equally.
Name a ship in which you love one character above all others.
Name the ship with the loveliest fanfiction.
Name the ship with the loveliest fans.
Name the best song that accompanies a ship.
Name your favorite ship from a book.
Name your favorite ship from a movie.
Name your favorite ship from a show.
Name your favorite moment ever from a ship.
Name the moment in which you love [insert ship] the most.
Name the moment in which you understand [insert ship] the most.
Name the biggest change you would make to [insert ship].
Name the sweetest moment from [insert ship].
Name the most stylish moment from [insert ship].
Name the most awkward moment from [insert ship].

If you want to ask for a specific ship (or fandom or character), I list a few of them in my sticky post; my tags are another good place to start (reminder to myself to organize those a little better...). If my reply gets long enough, I might have to answer in a new post. I feel like I commit to too many memes LOL (this, the TVD meme I still mean to finish before getting on with s2, the fave character meme I want to make after Legacies' season is over... *sighs*).

And before I forget, there's a spring friending meme started by @tozka here, in case anyone's interested ^^

So. How's everyone doing these days? I spend my days studying for class, writing and reading and catching up with tv and films a lot less than I'd like, and eagerly awaiting for my turn to do any of the chores that'll get me out of the house xDD. Are there any friend or prompt memes around tumblr you recommend? Or music, books, videos... basically, I'm bored, I have the shortest attention span in existence, and I need ALL the distractions. For each one I'll offer one back, even :P

Current Music: One Step Ahead by Aretha Franklin

Happy Ides! I was an Ancient Rome nerd as a child (and a little bit now, if I’m honest) and this is one of my favorite anniversaries xP

I ended up re-watching Xena’s eponymous episode about it. It’s one of my favorite ones: it has the Ides of March, a lot of Gabrielle/Xena feels, Callisto… and I love how little the show cares about anything even remotely resembling historical accuracy LOL.

I’m continuing my Star Trek re-watch, very, veeeery slowly. The other day I watched “Charlie X”; the scene in the rec-room is one of my favorite ones in the series, with Spock mingling with the crew and playing a song for Uhura to sing <3 (her very cheeky songs lol). It’s also one of those that includes Spock + Kirk chess scenes (that Kirk wins), which are one of those pieces of meta-writing I always enjoy.

And in between reading stuff to for my classes today I started re-reading Carmilla. I love that book so, so much <3. I want to re-read Dracula next (I’m in a vampire mood, I guess), but maybe I should, IDK. Try something new, for a change xD. Maybe I’ll order Gideon the Ninth, everyone keeps recommending it to me.

My current WIPs are slow going and I wanted to write something short during these days, since I can’t leave the home and don’t have much else to do but read, watch tv, and write. So, I'm taking prompts: post a comment with a pairing or character and make me choose between two settings, two tropes, two lines, etc.; or, if you’re not coming up with specific prompts, I will put my music player on shuffle and write a ficlet based on the first song that comes up.

Here's a link to a list of my fandoms & ships & some of my preferences, if you’re looking for inspiration. I also wanted to borrow this meme from @author_by_night, where I choose between popular tropes and tell you why; it might give you even more ideas.

A- Addams Family, The (1960)
B- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
C- Charmed
D- Dollhouse
E- I’ve struggled with this one and I can only remember those that are in my “shows to watch” list LOL: Emerald City, Empire, Euphoria, The Exorcist, The Expanse
F- From Dusk Till Dawn
G- Gargoyles (it pains me to choose between this, Galavant, Game of Thrones, and Golden Girls. JSYK)
H- House M.D.
I- Iron Man: Armored Adventures
J- Justice League (I tried to think of another one as to not put two DC shows -Young Justice DESERVES a mention for s1 alone-, but couldn't come up with anything)
K- Like above, I could only come up with those I want to watch but haven’t: Killing Eve, Killjoys, Kings, Krypton. Okay, and Kim Possible. I didn’t watch it consistently but Kim/Shego was a very important part of my childhood xDD
L- Legacies
M- Misfits (never finished but for the most part I loved s1-2 SO MUCH)
N- Nikita
O- Orange is the New Black (which I should finish, one of these days…)
P- Phineas & Ferb (it was so goddamn weird. There’s new content since the last time I saw it and my brain can’t process that LOL).
Q- Couldn’t come up with one either. I’ve always wanted to try Quantum Leap?
R- Reign
S- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
T- Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles
U- Uhh… I want to watch The Umbrella Academy at some point. I’m 95% sure I’m gonna like it.
V- ~~Vampire Diaries, The~~ ETA: how could I forget Veronica Mars!! I adore that show. I haven't watched the latest season yet (I'm spoiled about the main things, but given the things I love about the show, I gather my opinion is going to differ from that of the majority). Sorry TVD, I've liked your 1st season a lot and I'm really into your canon, but I don't know you enough yet to put you above VMars xD
W- Wonder Woman
X- Xena: Warrior Princess
Y- Young Justice
Z- A friend insists I should watch Z Nation and to be fair it looks more appealing than most zombie content…

Given The Situation out there I'm going to be stuck at home for a while, so it's all gonna be memes, catching up with fiction, and writing these days, I'm guessing.

-I didn’t pull off most of my fic writing goals, alas. I did write a bunch of stuff for the three sentences ficathon:

Agent Carter – Dottie/Peggy + the worst dance partner; ~40 words, for @sholio.
DCU – Diana + time. ~100 words, for @goodbyebird.
Disney – Beauty and the Beast + courtship/arguments via book reviews; ~110 words, for @syrena_of_the_lake.
GoT – Sansa + no queen has clean hands; ~200 words, for @rthstewart & Bronn + do not forget your place; ~90 words, for @kingstoken.
Gargoyles – Elisa/Goliath + wind beneath my wings; ~50 words, for @syrena_of_the_lake.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles – Jesse/Sarah + wired; 110 words, for @goodbyebird.
The Good Place – Vicky + attempt 666; ~70 words, for @smallredboy & Michael + life on Earth, ~130 words, for @astrogirl.
The Witcher – Geralt/Renfri + brushing Geralt's hair; ~100 words, for @nasimwrites.

I think you can still leave comments, so hey, if anyone wants to leave me something in my remaining prompts… they’re Giuletta/Tony (Marvel 616) + metaphorical armor and Alastor/Charlie (Hazbin Hotel) + deals with the devil. Wink wink, nudge nudge, etc.

-In January I wrote two ficlets too, for a prompt meme, and I remembered I forgot to post about it over here. Oops. They’re Red, a Carmilla/Laura (Carmilla, the novella) Snow White AU (~600 words, M) for @lee_bella, and The Spoils, a Cersei/Sansa (GOT) The Hunger Games AU (~900 words, E) for @kingstoken.

-I took a leap of faith and singed up for the Once Upon a Fic Exchange. Lucky for me, I’m actually excited about one of the prompts I got; I hope my recipient likes it too, but for now it’s nice to know I’ll have fun writing it. The deadline is in May, which gives me plenty of time too. And I can’t wait to see my gift! If anyone’s curious, I put in requests for Yde et Olive, The Snow Queen, Persephone & Hades, and One Thousand and One Nights.

-I’m still trying to valiantly catch up on my Wednesday comics reading. These are my thoughts on the second-to-last week, which means now I’m only one (1) week behind. I can work with that.

I've spent the weekend enjoying myself with the Three Sentences Ficathon. There are a lot of delightful snippets over there and it's a lot of fun.

If anyone's curious, here are the prompts I've filled:

Diana + time (DCU)
Sansa + no queen has clean hands and Bronn + do not forget your place (GOT; finale spoilers, ig)
Elisa/Goliath + wind beneath my wings (Gargoyles)
Dottie/Peggy + the worst dance partner (Agent Carter)
Jesse/Sarah + wired (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles)
Vicky + attempt 666 and Michael + life on Earth (The Good Place)

What I prompted myself can be found at the end of page sixteen. I already got THREE BatCat fills, one for Diana, another for HP and the Black Family, and two Gomez/Morticia fills. In case anyone else feels inspired (wink wink), my other prompts are about Marvel (IronMasque), PotC (Barbossa &or/ Elizabeth), Ready or Not (Grace &or/ Mr. Le Bail), Rick & Morty (gen), and TGP (Chidi and students). And I definetly don't mind repeats for the others LOL.

I left some prompts in this dark femslash ficathon (Buffy/vampire!Willow, Diana/Poison Ivy, Cersei/Sansa, Jupiter/Kalique from Jupiter Ascending, Amma/Camille from Sharp Objects, Jesse/Riley from The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Ariel/Ursula, Gerda/the Snow Queen, and M'gann/Queen Bee from Young Justice). Sadly I'm mostly unfamiliar with the prompts left there by other people; a few of them are from fandoms in my short-term to-watch list and from ships that seem up my alley, so hopefully I'll write something for Femslash February. It'd be a shame not to do it with a fest so tailored to my interests LOL.

I left yet MORE prompts for this Sci-Fi/Fantasy prompt meme (Creature from the Black Lagoon, Diana/Wonder Woman, Jason Todd, Asriel/Marisa, Jupiter Ascending, and current comics' Tony Stark).

There will be a Pepperony anon kink meme over livejournal during February 14th, and given how much that fandom has veered away from smut lately I'm very excited about it xD.

And to finish this off, my reading list has informed me of an Aftercare is... fest, and I'm going to look it up and see if I can come up with any prompts (somehow, the hardest part of these things for me LOL).

Current Music: Green Light by Lorde

-I updated my intro post with a little more info. Basically, ships I'll write for prompt posts, a list of tropes I like so you could see what to expect, and master lists to edits (icons, really) and fics. And lastly, a little to-do list of fandom events for this month, to help me keep track of things (and publicise my shame if I don't deliver xD).

-Speaking of edits and fics, I still accept prompts for ficlets here, and icon requests here, during the rest of the weekend. I made a few The Good Place icons and wrote a couple of short ficlets: a Carmilla/Laura (book) Snow White AU, and a Cersei/Sansa The Hunger Games AU.

-ETA: I ended up checking out the Three Sentences Ficathon and I wrote a couple of gen (didn't know I had it in me) mini ficlets: Sansa + no queen has clean hands and Diana + time.

-I commented on the snowflake friending meme here, if anyone's curious. It won't let me edit to add a couple fandoms I missed LOL (HP and old Hollywood films mainly).

-I decided that in order to get my Star Trek rewatch started, I'm going to start by watching every show's pilot, including those I haven't watched yet (TAS, Enterprise, and Picard). Then I'll get on with a TOS rewatch, and so on. I started yesterday by watching The Man Trap -Netflix wanted me to watch The Cage first, but I refused). I love Kirk's intro, teasing Bones about his ex. And I always enjoy it when Uhura teases/flirts with Spock ("tell me I'm pretty and tell me about Vulcan under the moon", "Vulcan has no moon", "I'm not surprised!" LOL). As a "first contact with an alien lifeform" is not my favorite example, nor one of my favorite TOS episodes, but it's entertaining enough.

-How is it that I adore cheesy, over the top, grandiose love stories in film etc. (A Knight's Tale, Ever After, But I'm a Cheerleader, Crazy Rich Asians, Titanic, Lois & Clark...) but I can't ever write them UGH. One of the fics I want to do for this month is supposed to be inspired on romance novels conventions; I do well with those because they're often things that squirt the line into the messy tropes I love, but HEA are hard to write for me LOL. Even "happy for now" endings. Basically closed endings, especially closed happy endings, don't jive well with me.

Current Music: Golden Grill by Lana del Rey

(finally caught up with the challenge!)

I didn't create this, I borrowed it from tumblr. But they looked interesting. First, I though I'd try one with writing prompts, because I short of got stuck on a few fics, and maybe this will nudge me into one or other direction during this week(end). I updated my sticky post with a list of ships I'd like to write about at the moment (and favorite tropes underneath). I'll warn you, I can't write happy fluff or humor to save my life; it's all angst and dark humor and horror and taboos in this house. It's all a question of whether it'll be framed as a gothic horror novel or a trashy romance one LOL.

Send me an ask with a pairing and make me choose between

-two settings

-two AU verses

-two lines of dialogue

-two emotions

-two anything really

and I’ll write a drabble of ficlet about one of those things

Or if you don't want to send a prompt, here's an ask meme borrowed from @wheatear. Granted some of these I won't be able to answer, as I haven't published anything yet LOL, but it sounds fun. Under the cut because it's long.

Feel free to borrow them and pass them around!

Well, since my roommate had an important job presentation today, I made sure she had food ready when she came home. That totally counts.

In addition, I've gone through the wishlist for challenge #6, and see what I could offer myself (mostly I've recommended fics, books, communities, etc.).

And at last, something that combines with challenge #13: create a fanwork. I'm offering to make icons for anyone who asks (you can see the ones I've made linked in this post, if you want). You can be as specific as you want, even pass me a link to the image, or just give me a general idea (if it's from a fandom I don't know, I might need more details). I noticed a lot of people asked for icons in their wishlists, though mostly from fandoms I don't know, so this is your chance to get them ^^

I thought of offereing ficlets too but I think I'm gonna leave that for challenge #15, after I make a more comprehensive list of what fandoms and ships I'm willing to write. I have a rare free-ish week and I'm going to take advantage of it, dammit.

AKA talk about someone who inspired you and recommend a fannish or creative resource.

For some reason, number 10 is the hardest one yet. You know that thing, where someone asks you a very specific question about your interests and suddenly you forget everything you’ve ever liked and every one of your opinions? It’s a little bit like that, at least for me LOL.

It’s not like I haven’t been inspired by people in fandom (though I’m admittedly terrible when it comes to following authors, and just jump through fandom to fandom without consistency), or original creators like Mary Shelley, Hitchcock, Emma Orzcy or William Marston, or other personalities like Nina Simone, Amelia Earheart or Lucille Ball. But for some reason my mind won’t cooperate when it comes to raving about them at length right now xD

I’ll say when it comes to inspiration to my own writing, what works best for me is visuals: paintings, fanart, aesthetic posts, etc. It’s basically the main reason I have tumblr, where I get a lot of ideas from my art, fanart and inspo tags. Fanartist are the best thing to happen to my creativity, NGL.

As for fannish and creative resources:

There are tons of blogs in tumblr that offer solid writing advice and links to resources. Some of my favorites are scriptshrink (with a lot of information about writing about mental illnesses), ao3commentoftheday (lots of good fandom advice and debates), monsterkinkmeme (prompts for monster lovers), or clevergirlhelps, for just about anything. Writeroftheprompts offers both prompts and advice, and has a handy masterlist here.
This site has space terminology provided by NASA for your sci-fi writing needs.
Writingexercises is one of my favorite ones. It’ll generate prompts, character traits, titles… Great for writer’s block, in my experience.
Bad Things Happen Bingo opens for new cards again on February 3rd and it's a pretty chill event, without deadlines, perfect if you're into heavy angst, whump, darkfic in general, etc.

Current Music: The Killing Moon by Nouvelle Vague

-I nominated a few stories for the once-upon-a-fic exchange (for fairy tales, myths, etc.). I'm not sure I'll sign up, because gift exchanges don't look like my thing, but at least I might get to read fic for some of my favorite stories out there.

-Why is it that almost every time I stumble onto a headcanon about how to "fix" Endgame, it somehow makes the story 300 times worse? LOL. I know it's partially because I don't feel there's much to fix in that film -I sympathise and even agree with a lot of its criticism, but they're usually about things I could take or leave either way-; what I wanted out of it was to watch Tony's swan song, and I got exactly that. But a lot of those fix-its sound directly counter-intuitive to the propose of the post itself. It's weeeeeeird.

-Really, my only complaint about Endgame (other than the fact that it plausible argues that Thanos' actions might have made the universe if not better, at least not worse) is that since it came out it seems I can't find Pepperony smut, at least not how I used to. Things like this is why I'm not big on domesticity as a trope LOL. I hope things change with the pepperony kinkmeme these Valentine's Day.

-After the conclussion of the last The Good Place episode I started wondering if the show will end

I wanted to post at least one fic before I got to this challenge LOL, but my WIPs are not collaborating with me right now, and I'd like to catch up with the challenge, thank you very much (I have a rare free day, so I'm going to try to do as many of these as possible. Sorry in advance for spamming your reading pages).

Since it wasn't possible, I'll link to a couple of posts I posted in @monthlysupergo for this month's challenge: icons. In my case, Wonder Woman icons (misc, and from this week's anthology issue). I made my dreamwidth icons too, and I'm quite proud of them -visual arts of any kind are NOT my thing, but these all turned pretty well, if I say so myself. And since I have so very little output in terms of fanworks, here are the icons or headers I use in other platforms too :)

( Read more... )

As for other people's fanworks: one of my favorite things in fandom, one that never fails to impress me, is fanart. Maybe it's because I struggle to draw a straight line with a ruler, I don't know. But there are so many gorgeous pieces out there, and at least 70% of why I made myself a tumblr account was to reblog them and have them stored somewhere. Some of my favorite ones:

DC
- BatCat fanart: Selina with a cat and a jewerly collection and Batman in her mirror (I know some people complain about comics and other canons returning Selina to a jewerly thief from time to time but... can't relate, I love it. It's The Chase!), vampire Bruce in a mascarade, and this adorable drawing of Bruce presenting himself as a gift to Selina, naked minus the cowl and an strategically placed bow xD
- Diana as a boxer.
- Harley and Ivy kissing on pride parade in the famous V-J Day pose.
- Jason Todd as a very frustrated Batman, and as a priest in Flashpoint. And as Red Hood in various canons and uniforms.
- And this amazing fanart from the TV show Gotham of teen Bruce with an ominous Batman shadow.
Disney:
- From The Little Mermaid, have Ariel as Ursula's apprentice and this gorgeous homage drawing to the film.
- And this chilling Tangled fanart.
Vaggie from Hazbin Hotel as an avenging angel.
Mrs. Coulter from His Dark Materials sitting on a throne.
These Jennifer's Body drawings that are both cute and unsettling, somehow.
Marvel
- Superior Iron Man being hot.
- Tony with a sword and shoulder armor, because.
- Tony and Pepper fighting back to back in Endgame.
- Rule 63 Winteriron Sleeping Beauty AU, with bonus armor porn.

And to finsih it off, I wanted to rec two fics I read recently (and finally commented on): O Rose thou art sick, an Aurora/Maleficent what-if for the Disney film (mind the warnings); and itches in the front, a short BatCat smut fic with some domme Selina.

Current Music: The Beast by Laura Marling

There's a post going around in tumblr: a screenshot of a tweet saying that GOT's ending was SO terrible it "erased the show's cultural significance"; something I vehemently disagree with, TBH.

Though it's not what I base my argument on, I must say first that I loved the ending. I wanted Sansa on the North's throne, and I got it. I wanted Cersei to have as gentle an ending as possible, and I got one even better than I imagined -she was vindicated, she was loved, she was comforted, she will be well-remembered. I wanted Tyrion in power, as high as he could be, and I wanted Jon as far away from power as he could get. And as bonuses, even if they weren't my main concerns, I loved Arya's, Jaime's, and Bronn's endings too; the only thing I would change is that I'd give Cersei and Sansa a final encounter. But most of all, I don't think anything in the final episodes "came out of nowhere"; in fact, a lot of it aligned with what I, a non-book reader, was told I was "reaching" or "delusional" for suspecting LOL. I sympathise with people that felt screwed over by the finale, but I can't say I'm one of them, it's my point.

But even if I hadn't liked it, I think affirming GOT is no longer "culturally relevant" is grossly inaccurate. The fact that people still rant about it out of the blue is actually a pretty good sign they can't let go of it. New shows get compared to it at the slighest similarity (and yes, a lot of the comparisons are to put down GOT, but IMO, if you can't keep one show's name out of your mouth... that means something. While the new shows are often just the "flavor of the week"), thinkpieces continue to be published about it... Merch sold =/= cultural significance. Fan's contentment =/= cultural significance.

Hell, in the same post the GOT's finale was compared to HIMYM's. I've watched maybe... 20, 30 episodes of that show, yet I still understand most of the references people make about it. It's like a microcosmos that contains all of tv's formulaic writing. And yes, the finale was widely hated- but the show's still in everyone's mouth, time and again; the bitterness hasn't disappeared, it's ready to get out at any provocation. I think that shows more "cultural significance" than if those shows ended the way expected, TBH; I can picture them falling out of the collective conscience so quickly if people had felt satisfied with them. It reminds me of how I've always thought Little Women wouldn't be near as popular if Jo and Laurie had ended up together: that frustration keeps the flames alive LOL.

Current Music: You Should See Me in a Crown by Bille Eilish

I did number 5 a few days ago(comenting and introducing myself to new people. Though since I'm new here, I guess I'd done that since I started). So here's my wishlist!

I said this already, but I would love to get book recs. I love gothic novels and trashy romance novels more than anything. Horror, fantasy, historical fiction and sci-fi are my favourite genres (contemporary and "grounded" mundane stories are very much not my thing). Preferably with female protagonists and ideally with wlw romances. And I tend to steer clear of YA -the narration's style irks me.

I love fanart. Pretty art in general. I have trouble drawing a straight line with a ruler, so I'm mesmerized by the artistic talent out there. I would love it if anyone ever gave me a drawing as a gift; if they drew something for one of the fics that I hope to soon start publishing, I might even faint.

LBR, I'd love any kind of fanwork as a gift.

Wonder Woman related stuff. Recs, fanworks, links to cute merch, anything. On that vein, if someone wrote/drew/etc. Diana/Poison Ivy for me, I'd give them my firstborn.

Meeting one other person that watches Legacies (and is into Josie/Lizzie, but I know that's a hard one xDD).

Current Music: Bad Guy by Billie Eilish

My fannish history has been that of a lurker until recently.

I discovered fandom pretty early, when I was around 10 years old. Back then I read tons of BTVS and Harry Potter darkfics in fanfiction dot net, mostly centered around femslash and slash couples (and tried not to think too much about what that meant lol). I was terrified at the idea that my parents found out what I liked to read, let around write -I used all the tricks possible to hide my notebooks, since I was too paranoid about using the house's computer. For the same reason, I only read fic in the local library's outdated computers, I never made an account and always commented annonymously.

With time the list of fandoms I read expanded -DC, Marvel, Star Trek...-, but by necessity I stayed a lurker for a long, long time. Then things got difficult during college, and I mostly withdrew from fandom, and writing in general, altogether.

I always used writing as catharsis, more than anything (which was another reason why I couldn't let anyone see what I wrote -it got heavy at times), and a few of my new fandoms (Legacies and His Dark Materials, mostly) and old ones (what with the MCU sort-of ending, and DC and Star Trek trying to lure me back in), I started itching more and more to write again. Around last month I got back some inspiration, and away from home and with my own computer, I ended up making a tumblr and ao3 accounts. I mostly reblog pretty gifs and fanart along with meta and political posts in the first, and I have yet to post anything in the second. But soon!

And that's my very short fandom history.
