Tumbling through fandom

introvert / queer (aegosexual ace-aro) / fandom old / bookish / anglophile / chocoholic writer / vidder / giffer / podcaster Open for prompts, questions, ramblings. Fumbling my way through this Tumblr thing, trying to keep it drama-free. Following the 3 Laws of Fandom. Multi-fandom. Currently mainly Asian Boys Love shows, The Untamed (MDZS/CQL), always Shadowhunters, MCU. Spoilers are tagged as such. My recs can be found in my sideblog.

Because I hadn't been able to vid for almost a year (after my switch to Linux), I'd been playing with the idea of doing reaction videos, after really getting into watching them myself. Of course, that was the moment I finally discovered an app that works for me - so now I might do both! :)

Case in point, I posted an Eternals vid last week, because I became just a tad enamoured with Richard Madden after watching it, and I just now I posted my off-the-cuff reaction to the new Rings of Power trailer. Enjoy! :)

Oh, and for my Shadowhunters peeps: following a poll in my community tab on Youtube my next reaction will probably be a rewatch of the pilot episode.

They are legendary, the two wolves of Winterfell, and many whispers follow them. One of the most persistent rumours is that they are lovers, have been since they were raised as brothers by Eddard Stark, warden of the North.

 Not all rumours are true, however.

In which Jon comes to Robb's aid and things change.

I don’t even know, folks... But sometimes one ends up reading a lot of incest fic in a fandom one’s not even in, and then the urge to write hits... This is short, and weird, but I’m too happy to have finally written something, anything, not to post. :)

im sorry. my young daughter has tried to use the advert against me when she was being nasty.

I'm very sorry to hear that, because our loved ones often know best how to hit us where it hurts most... Did you sit her down (after she'd calmed down and was in a more reasonable mood) and talk to her about being kind to people even when one is mad? No matter her age, no one's too young to learn about empathy.

I was in an advert as a kid. Is it ok to feel a bit “lost” when trying to come to terms with it? If you want to see the advert, look up “Yellow Pages Christmas TV advert - Mistletoe (1992)”. I am the girl in it. I’m sorry it’s Christmas time because people track down the advert online a lot more right now :(

I'm not sure what made you come to me, but I'm very sorry your enjoyment of the holiday season is being affected by people being nosy about something out of your control.

You were a kid and it was the early 90s, neither you nor your parents could know this advert would stick around so many years and that it would make you feel uncomfortable. It's easy for me to say not to let it bother you - but if you can, maybe you can change your perspective a little and try and see this as a funny little anecdote. Make it your own. I know I had a few weird things happening to me in my life, and I've found that people usually laugh with you if you share a story as something amusing and unique.

Was this helpful in any way? In any case, I hope you have a lovely Christmas anyway!

Hi! Saw you're watching woh, so here's the usual PSA, just in case you didn't know yet: It has an important epilogue scene that didn't pass censorship and so was released separately, but it's missing from netflix & amazon and behind the paywall on viki and youtube. The last scene of ep36 also got dubbed over because it confirms the epilogue. So here's a link to the epilogue for once you finish: la-muerta tumblr com/post/650354900999520256

Aaah, I never thanked you! I'm still not through with the show, but this is so great to know - thanks so much for sharing!

[shirasade]

Hi may I ask for advice

Sure... :)

As someone who loved I Told Sunset About You it was particularly great to spend the last week in Phuket. Show-related highlights included: sunset at Promthep Cape (which, wow, is really far away from Phuket Town!) and eating Oh-aew... Wasn't a big fan of the latter, tbh, but I'm sure Teh would disagree. *g*

[shirasade]

Have I finally started watching Word of Honor? Yes. Yes, I have, and wow, they're really not holding back with the soulmates talk... *hearteyes*

[shirasade]

Don't mind me, but Ida from Kieta Hatsukoi is absolutely on the aro-ace spectrum, right?

Clary: This whole parabatai thing seems oddly intimate if you ask me.

Izzy: You don’t know the half of it.

Hi Shirasade! Several people have pointed me in your direction and said you're the right person to ask if there's going to be a Jalec Secret Santa event this year! I hope you're doing well and having an easy time these days, and please don't take this ask as pressure. Just stating my interest :)

Hi! Thanks for checking in and still being interested in Jalec and the Secret Santa!

I'm so sorry to leave people hanging; however, because I'll be traveling all through November, I'm afraid I won't be able to run the SeSa this year. I've informed the other @jalecsquad mods, and I'm not sure what they'll decide.

What I can offer, though, if there's no Secret Santa this year, is to organise a Valentine's exchange instead. What do you think?

Happy 52nd birthday to the franchise that ruined my life AND at the same time made it 1701 times better :D

[replicatedpineapple]

I was tagged by @earlgreytea68 - thank you! <3

rules: we’re snooping in your playlist. put your entire music library on shuffle and list the first 10 songs and then choose 10 victims.

1. Travis - Song to Self

2. Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Debussy: Preludes, Book 1 L 117 - La Cathédrale Engloutie

3. Illumenium - Bulgaria

4. McFly - Silence is a Scary Sound (live)

5. Panic! At the Disco - Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off (iTunes Live Sessions)

7. Light Pollution - Oh, Ivory

8. Bic Runga - Drive

9. The Misfits - Teenagers From Mars

10. Belle & Sebastian - Me and the Major

Three of these I have no memories of. ;) Also, I have to admit that I currently can't listen to more than half of my library, because I ran an organising tool that managed to fuck up my music app. I'm gifted like that.
