Random Fannish Stuff

@ladykate63

I'm a professional writer with a passion for fandom on the side. My two main fandoms are Robin Hood BBC and Xena: Warrior Princess, but I also love Dr. Who, Firefly, and A Song of Ice and Fire, and will sometimes also reblog things related to Merlin, Once Upon a Time, Sherlock, and other shows (and books). Also, expect lots of cute animals and assorted pretty things.

Who’s still around in the Robin Hood BBC fandom?

I was around here a lot a few years ago (and I also have a now-almost-dead RH board on what used to be Yuku and is now Tapatalk, here) but have been incredibly busy with other things ... still love this show to pieces, and this fandom will always remain my favorite. Just wanted to see who’s still here, whether from the old gang or new fans! Hi to all!

Guy: I'm gonna attack Prince John and try to kill him and ruin my life and career

Isabella: Why

Guy: Marian was like 80% of my impulse control

Space. The final frontier. Final because… it wants to kill us. Sometimes we forget that. Start taking it all for granted. The suits, the ships, the little bubbles of safety as they protect us from the void. But the void is always waiting.

(meta by the wonderful @lyledebeast!!! thank you for letting me be a part of this post!)

One thing that I wish was more widely recognized among BBC Robin Hood fans is that the “other side” that various characters identify in Guy of Gisborne, including Guy himself, is a real thing that exists. It doesn’t erase his behavior that is callous and cruel and violent, but it stands in stark contrast to that, defying simplification for those who will actually look at it. Marian sees this from very early on, even in season one when Guy is at his most straightforwardly wicked. She sees that he’s a human being, that his feelings for her are honest, and that he has the capacity for compassion and selflessness, even if he often fails to do what she sees as being the right thing. Robin, on the other hand, doesn’t begin to recognize this until long after Marian is dead.
