November 29th, 2018
SHARING TIME:
ღ - It's been a year and a half, has it? I suppose that's not surprising, I've been going through some growing pains stuff re: how to post recs and I've never really settled on a style/method that's worked for me (the details of which are painfully inane and not interesting to anyone but me XD) and so I just kind of shove everything onto tumblr and say, "I'll deal with it later."
But I've been doing that for about three years now and I'm in the middle of shark week, so I guess it's as good a time as ever to go, "Taking on a new project is totally a good thing to do, sure." \:D/ I dunno how successful it'll be, I don't know if I'll update the old site or just start a new one (oh my god the effort I had to go through just to find my password since I'd changed computers!) or stick to social media sites or what. But wish me luck!
I'll start with the MCU recs because I definitely had some feelings about that! Post-Ragnarok and post-Infinity War, largely Thor-centric because I know what I'm about. :D
ETA: This post was too big, so it's continued here.

ღ - I am just so completely and utterly hip-deep in Star Wars fandom that I've forgotten what it's like to not be completely gonzo over it. And everyone should join me. I just really have a lot of feelings (and get punched in the feelings) about the Star Wars characters and I want to shaaaaaare.
ღ - One of the things fandom really enjoys doing is Sith!Obi-Wan and I can't lie, I greatly enjoy the Soft Sith aesthetic and I enjoy the chance to see Obi-Wan's character without the restraints he puts on himself, so, here, have some recs!

ღ - I miss having a place for just recs, especially since I tend to spread them out over multiple tumblr accounts, and eventually I do want to get caught up. So I'm gonna start making a dent in them again! But I'll at least try to make them themed!
ღ - In that vein: TIME TRAVEL FIC. \o/

ღ - Reading SW fic still takes up the majority of my fic reading time and everyone should join me because it's an old enough fandom that it actually has a lot of the good shit I'm looking for and a lot of it! This time with a bit more variety rather than just the PT. o/

ღ - I, uh. Thought it had only been about six months or so? Turns out a bit longer than that. But, well, I always get a kick in the pants to start crossposting recs when I dive face first into a new fandom and I'm here in Star Wars hell, so, let's go then.
ღ - I've posted these recs to tumblr already, but it's nice to have an archive on DW/LJ, it's much cleaner and more organized here.
ღ - So, I saw TFA and I liked it a lot, I was really impressed! I walked out of the theater totally wanting fic! And then... something... happened... idk how to explain it. There's such suffering and terrible endings for so many characters I just want all of it fixed and to really fix everything you pretty much have to go back to the beginning and fix everything about Anakin Skywalker's life.
And so I started reading fic for that. And from there it was like "No, I don't ship anything, I just want gen fix-it." --> "Whoa, this is a really hot suitless Vader fic with really excellent Padme characterization!" --> "So, look, I don't ship it, but I love time travel fic, so I'll read this Obi-Wan/Anakin + Anakin/Padme fic --> Obi-Wan/Anakin/Padme fic." --> "Okay, so maybe I do ship Obi-Wan/Anakin a little, at least as an OT3." --> "NO, I AM IN OBI-WAN/ANAKIN HELL, I'M NEVER GETTING OUT, LEAVE ME HERE WITH MY FEELINGS, THIS SHIP IS RUINING MY LIFE."
And there we go. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SHARING TIME:
ღ - Doubling up this time in order to better catch up. Also, if you haven't seen Mad Max: Fury Road, I really really want to encourage you to do so because it was awesome and looked amazing on the big screen and it was just so fucking good omg. Also, Legend of Korra was super good for me, since I avoided most of the fandom drama and just focused on what I liked about the show itself. I'm learning how to do fandom good now! \o/
ღ - Have some bonus Mad Max: Fury Road links!
→ Mario Kart: Fury Road (Parody Trailer) - Fury Road meets Mario Kart, including some delightful editing to go along with some truly inspired moments.
→ The Unbreakable Furiosa - Another amazing crossover with some incredible editing. Fan-fucking-tastic.
→ Yakety Max - An '80s metal version of Yakety Sax to some of the action scenes of the movie? A++++, what a good.
→ Mad Max Fury Road - Benny Hill - As much as I love the metal version, there's just always going to be something about the original that's fucking magical and this one's no exception.

SHARING TIME:
ღ - So, I went through this phase (and may well be drawn back there, if the extended editions give me something to work with) where I tore through the Tolkien fandom. And as soon as Daredevil lets me go, I'm going back there. But, good lord, the amount of Elf fic I read was ridiculous. Shit, the amount of reading I did on canon about the Elves was ridiculous. But I love them so much, they're so goddamned weird and hilarious and tragic and epic and dumb as shit sometimes and brilliant at others and just. Elves are the people of my heart, okay. (But especially the Greenwood ones.)

SHARING TIME:
ღ - I had trouble deciding where to start with posting recs, I'm so out of practice that the choices seemed a bit overwhelming. Start from the older ones? Start with the newer ones and work my way back? How many to each post?? Eventually, I decided on Daredevil because that's where I spend a lot of time my these days and because it's a relatively recent fandom, so I figure, hey, if I'm trying to be current with my journal, that's the way to go.
I never expected this show to eat me as hard as it did, but I'm well on my way down the rabbit hole and not coming out any time soon, I fear. Not even for the new season of Hannibal, SIGH.

Update + No, I'm totally gonna do this!
June 13th, 2015
Shit, it's been awhile, I know!
And maybe I should probably have waited until the beginning of next month to start this, make it a nice, even six months thing, but I figure this will give me a chance to post some of the recs I've been doing elsewhere.
I was eaten pretty hard by tumblr, of course, and a lot of my fic recs have been going over there, since that's where I spend most of my time these days. But I do that thing where I split my time across multiple blogs, since I work better with more focused tumblrs, and I've been complaining to myself that I don't have a single place for all the recs in an organized way that I like.
So, okay. I'm going to gather them all up and start crossposting them to my journal (and hopefully this will make me actually post the ones I've been sitting on for ages, too) and while I'm at that, I'm gonna do an old-fashioned recs goal for the year.
I don't know how many I've done this year so far, but it's been a fair amount, so I'm setting myself with the goal of 1,200 recs by the end of the year. This will include the ones I've already done, because I'm not that much of a masochist, but I'm hoping that means I'll only have 600 left for the rest of the year.
My main fandoms have been the Marvel Cinematic Universe (mostly Thor stuff, but now Daredevil as well, and occasional Avengers-in-general stuff) and Tolkien fandom (well, lbr, the Tolkien Elves, mostly the Greenwood ones) and occasional trips into stuff like Mad Max: Fury Road or Legend of Korra or Sailor Moon.
I also started updating my archive site even! Though, christ, that thing's way out of date and this is going to take me forever. But idk it feels kind of good to be productive, too, and hopefully this will give me a good way to see how much progress I'm making.
Also, I really, really want to talk about feelings about stupid nerds in love on Daredevil, god, I need everyone to watch this show with me.

ღ - Sherlock and John and back of the neck kissing, yes, thank you.
ღ - John and Sherlock lounging on the sofa together.
ღ - Naked almost kissing (which is somewhat NSFW but I also wouldn't rate it above PG-13) is very nice.
ღ - "Did you almost start to wonder if I was real?"
ღ - The Sherlock characters baking cakes is adorable.
ღ - I'm not sure I want this to be the reaction, but certainly I would enjoy it forever if this happened in the new season. [SPOILERS for The Reichenbach Fall.]
ღ - Sherlock as a pirate is absolutely a thing I needed in my life.
ღ - Everything about this gif set just makes me laugh. From Sherlock being immature to Mycroft's "jesus, my little brother is a dick" face to John's amusement at the whole thing. As much as I love Sherlock and John giving each other shit, I also love it when they delight in teaming up to give other people shit.
ღ - NO. NO. Why would you do this? [SPOILERS for The Reichenbach Fall.]
ღ - Oh, lord. Kid!AU with Sherlock, John, and Moriarty that is all kinds of adorable. And also has pretty colors. And Potterlock is adorable, too.
ღ - Well, this is rather sob-worthy. [SPOILERS for The Reichenbach Fall.]
ღ - "#clearly that’s the appropriate reaction to your little brother breaching top security systems of the british army" = I love the tags on tumblr so much.
ღ - Tags hurt me. Tags always hurt me even more. [SPOILERS for The Reichenbach Fall.]
ღ - I just love all their faces so much. SO MUCH.
ღ - Oh, lord, this Sherlock fanart piece is just gorgeous.
ღ - Black&white Sherlock and John is really pretty, too. And I like this artist's Mycroft and Sherlock and the style of it, too. Oh and! This one of John coming back home to this batshit flat of theirs. Finally, one last one from that artist--Sherlock and Doctor Who.
ღ - I really think this Molly piece is stunningly pretty. (Possibly a bit Sherlock/Molly?)
ღ - Okay, this is one of those rites of passage for a fanart fandom: Magnet!Sherlock/John. Of course this exists. Of course. And probably, like, ten people are even into both fandoms.
ღ - A gorgeous collection of Moriarty and Molly images, which is especially welcome as I just finished reading The Anatomist. Also, his and hers crowns is lovely.

ღ - LOLOLOL, BEST NEW USE OF THE BAFTA MEME EVER, CRYING NOW. (SPOILERS for The Reichenbach Fall.)
ღ - C-R-Y-I-N-G at this Sherlock cosplay, oh my god, that is AMAZING.
ღ - *gasp* SUPERLOCK IS SOMETHING I WOULD WATCH THE SHIT OUT OF. THAT GIF IS AMAZING.
ღ - So, a Sherlock/Pushing Daisies crossover would be kind of amazing, too.
ღ - Oh, jeez, this fandom. The montage may have gotten me just a bit.
ღ - I like this gifset because of what the post points out--in whatever way you interpret it, their body language is most definitely that of a couple.
ღ - Oh, lord, this Molly Hooper portrait is utterly stunning. Also, winged Sherlock and John with quotes from Good Omens.
ღ - So, I'm looking at this gif from A Scandal in Belgravia and it takes me a moment to stop looking at John's adorable, so proud of himself and his quip smile, to notice that Sherlock smiles in the background when John makes his joke to Mycroft. UGH, FEELINGS.
ღ - How that scene should have gone definitely made me smile.
ღ - Goddammit, if I start following Mark Gatiss' twitter for tweets like these, I am going to have a tantrum.
ღ - Oh, god, urban camoflage (possibly hilarious to me because of the ending of the second Sherlock Holmes movie) and now I'm crying from laughs. (SPOILERS for The Reichenbach Fall.)
ღ - Oh, jesus, crying at Sherlock's gift on Valentine's Day.
ღ - NO. THIS IS NOT OKAY. NO. (SPOILERS for The Reichenbach Fall.)
ღ - AHHHH SO MUCH CUTENESS with Sherlock and John sitting in their usual chairs!
ღ - Ugh, more feelings at chibis holding hands as they walk along.
ღ - Oh, christ, I think I laughed for a minute straight, too. I don't know who I love the most, the fandom or Mark Gatiss or or or EVERYONE. (SPOILERS for The Reichenbach Fall.)
