only posting

just mostly in it to follow people, yo. reserve the right to be (textually, not visually) nsfw, i’m too old to self-censor on the internet.

current fandom obsessions: queer as folk us (brian/justin forever), cql (cx main).

eternal loves: dragon age (hawke/fenris, hawke/varric, dalish!quisitor), mass effect (there’s no shepard without vakarian), swtor. also sense8, sga, sam/dean (but i don’t hate dean/cas), many many others.

twitter/dreamwidth also [at] thissugarcane || ao3: thissugarcane - new fic posted on ao3, old (circa 2005 and earlier?) fic may be on my site. kick the BEAT la timberlake 4evah.

...et cetera, ad nauseam.

This will only resonate with a very specific demographic but: years of playing French horn as a girl has given me a certain nonchalance as an adult in dealing with condensation in my cpap mask

Hypothetical scenario: You're attending a wedding, and at the reception it turns out that no alcohol is being served. You know that the couple getting married don't drink alcohol often, but also that they don't struggle with addiction. You don't know anything about the drinking habits or restrictions of anyone else in attendance.

Would you be surprised and/or disappointed if you attended a wedding and there was no alcohol being served?

Surprised and disappointed/upset

Surprised, but neutral, not disappointed/upset

Disappointed or upset, but not surprised

Not surprised and neutral, I'd be fine with it

I'm more surprised when there IS alcohol

Other

I don't know the expectations re: there being alcohol at weddings/show results

And so I wake in the morning, And I step outside, And I take a deep breath and I get real high, And I scream from the top of my lungs, What’s going on?

[thissugarcane]

Tagged by @tausendsorgen, the only one tagging me in anything thinking I might one of these years respond <3

last song: Dive in the Pool from the qaf soundtrack

favorite color: citrus orange, but only for certain things (not clothes, rarely stuff, accent walls, maybe my countertops, etc)

currently watching: nothing currently, but I've got the 2ndseason of Wednesday on the list

currently reading: a nonfiction book of essays called Ruins.

current obsession: SWTOR, but also, time-travel star wars fic; like, the AUs that fix the prequel era because someone goes back in time. (and I prefer it when it isn't Obi-Wan, because he usually ends up getting adopted by mandos and that's... got a lot of 'cilantro' moments for me.)

currently working on: ehh... poking at random scenes of things, and cleaning my house mostly.

last google search: SWTOR related.

current desktop photo: plain black desktop. My physical desk is covered in crap but my computer desktop must be pristine empty.

tagging if you feel the urge: @winderlylandchime (actually you may've done this already) @bossymarmalade, anyone else who wants!

Yeah sure Tumblr is a hellsite but I know someone who wrote a fanfic in the 1990s that someone else didn’t like, so when she was selling printed copies of the zine with the story in it out of her hotel room at a convention, this other woman STOOD IN FRONT OF HER DOOR TO REFUSE PEOPLE ACCESS. Because the story featured a ship she disliked. And I feel like somehow, 10,000 Tumblrs still can’t compare to that level of Extra.

Your periodic reminder that the technology and the scale of distribution changes, the basic impulse to fandom wank does not

[themarchrabbit]

I’ve actually heard about this event [or a similar event, which I can believe] from someone who was trying to get into the room to either buy the zine, or visit with the writer, or just see what was going on [idr]. Apparently it was quite the talk of the bar that night, and resulted in several heated [re: drunken] debates over whether Door Stander was violating Writer’s free speech, or if removing Door Stander would have violated Door Stander’s free speech.

Me, at the time, a 19yo with very little understanding of the law: “I mean…was it?”

Fandom Friend, who was a 40-something lawyer: “I’ll tell you the same thing I told everyone in that bar. No one was violating anyone’s free speech. Bitch was just being rude, and worse, obnoxious about it. You ever act like that in public, be aware you’re not changing anyone’s opinion. You’re just giving them a brand new opinion about you.”

It was a very formative conversation in my young adulthood.

Same person also told me to never mix coke and acid. Which was also pretty solid advice.

Star Wars fanfic is crazy because it will be like the most intense diabolical whump with characters getting tortured betrayed loosing even more body parts than in canon having ill advised sex and wanting to kill themselves but it will still somehow be a fix it because somewhere in there they will stop Order 66
