Just doodlin' some furries (and Russel) you know how it is

The fanfiction version of Little Red feels a hundred million years away BUT- of course one thing that remains unchanged is Poppy's stuffed animal. Except this time it's Bluebelle, who is a little cutesy beetle that used to be Russel's. One of the many perks of making Poppy larger than like 4 inches tall is that not everything needs to be doll sized lmao

5, 8, 10, and 11 for fandom asks? :]

Thanks for these, buddy! I’m sorry, I meant to answer them last night, but my brain was a soup. I’m also probably going to keep my answers mostly within the Askewniverse, because that’s all my brain has room for right now, apparently.

5. Something you see in fics a lot and love: Jay and Silent Bob sharing a bed for little, or no reason, other than wanting to be close to each other, and then the yearning kicks in. Jay and Bob meeting up with Bethany, post-Dogma, always sweet. Bob being bilingual (English/Russian). Bob using sign language, or a notepad to talk to Jay, implying that he can’t always speak verbally when he wants. Bob being into poetry. It seemed to especially be a thing in the pre-Strike Back days, for fanfiction to portray Bob taking Jay off the streets to live with him, or Jay and Bob both being homeless and building a business together, eventually making enough to rent a flat.

8. You hope more people will come to appreciate __ (a ship, a trope, an episode, etc): The Askewniverse ladies in general. Particularly Veronica, Emma, Tricia and Alyssa, because they are my favourites, but really all of them, because they all deserve more love. Also, in terms of Askewniverse films, I really like “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”, even if Kevin doesn’t. Just for Lester and Stacey shenanigans, if nothing else. It may not be the funniest, or smartest, but I still think it deserves another look.

10. A blog (mutual, or one you follow) that has made your fandom experience brighter: This is hard, because I’ve met so many cool people through different fandoms. Some I still speak to, some I don’t, but still think if fondly. I don’t want to miss people out, but right now, I want to name some blogs who were super important to me in my early fandom days. @mizzmellos, literally my first friend when I joined tumblr, I actually joined just to follow her Death Note blog. An inspiring artist and literally one of the smartest people I know. We are still friends today. Then, when I started watching “Deep Space Nine”, I met a ton of cool people, but the two I became close with were @corpse-of-bandersnatch and @vortaesthetic. Corpse, I actually met at Destination Star Trek, along with some other then mutuals, and they were lovely. Vorta and I haven’t spoken since I moved to different fandoms, and I’m not sure how active they still are, but they are so creative, and wrote all sorts of awesome fanfiction and headcanons for the character of Weyoun, and the Vorta race. They were great to talk to. I hope they are doing well. Then, when I moved from Star Trek towards Blakes 7, I met even more creative people. @ruth-dw @mrs-underhill22 I met at Maximum Power, and had a blast. Also, @foreignobjecticus @hadescavedish and bunn1cula who’s blog I sadly cannot find, at least under that name, where all super welcoming and supportive. Blakes 7 has one of the most dedicated and smart fanbases I’ve ever seen. I regret not having been active there for a while, but I don’t think it’s a show, or fandom I’m ever going to leave behind, as with those above.

Baby Wat with @corpse-of-bandersnatch at Destination Star Trek. Would you believe I had never taken a selfie before?

Slightly less baby Wat (as Kerr Avon) with @ruth-dw and @mrs-underhill22 at Maximum Power, posing like Charlie’s Angels.

11. If you’re a writer, or an artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?: Believe it or not, as much as I like my fics for the fandoms I’m more active in, I think my best written fic is the little “Outsiders” oneshot I wrote. It just came very easily, and I think it reads easily. I think I tend to overwrite, but not with this one. I was fixated on the idea of butch!Johnny Cade secretly dating Marcia, so I had to do something.

As for fanart, I think it’s probably the girl!JayBob mini comic I made a little while ago. The art is nothing special, but I think it’s cute and fits together nicely.

Worst Video Game Song Tournament - Round 1 Match 64

Maximum Power - After Burner (Amiga)

VERSUS

Imp's Song - DOOM

FIGHT!

Which is the worse song?

Maximum Power

Imp's Song

Voting ended onNov 19, 2023

I would recommend listening to as much as you can of each song before voting, but how you choose is up to you! Remember to be civil in the tags and replies!

Propaganda under cut:

Maximum Power:

"this one is a popular choice for trolling each other in the RadioSEGA requests. I've heard something about the track being corrupted somehow in the port to Amiga? well, whether it was on purpose or not, this is how it sounds in the shipped game. unfortunately it has started to grow on me since I like weird experimental music"

Imp's Song:

"'This sounds like a smoke detector going off while a car sits outside with its bass turned up too high.' - Dan Ryckert, Game Informer. Listen from 1:12 for the jackhammer starting."

Feel free to add more propaganda in the tags and replies, or send it to me in the ask box and I'll try to share it as soon as I can!

This artwork is Mordred and Morgana, by Susan Lovett, donated by Paul Darrow for charity auction in memory of Jacqueline Pearce at today's Maximum Power event. It fetched £1200, in an auction presided over by an ever-more-incredulous Stephen Greif.

Edit: While it was sold as Mordred and Morgana, it's actually this piece, Merlin and Morgana.

I printed my Photoshop of Red Lobster Collar Spikes and gave it to June Hudson. It made her so happy! Which made me even more happy of course. :)

At first she asked: "But how did you do it, how did you sew them on?" I explained that it was done on the computer, and the lady next to June (her sister?) helped to explain that too. Then June exclaimed - "Oh, I haven't seen those spikes for 40 years!" And then practically hugged the picture . Oh... Bless her.

She signed me a copy. :)
