lightbirdYour assignment is:
Fa Mulan goes into a bar and meets... Toph Beifong (Avatar: The Last Airbender)!
Let's see if I can finally get anything written again. With everything going on it's been hard to focus, and I don't know how I'm going to bring these 2 together, lol.

May. 13th, 2025 01:32 pmlannamichaelsIf you think defending your right to use a common name as a pejorative is more important than listening to everyone with that name saying "please stop, this is causing us actual real harm", then just let me know right now and I can ban you from my blog and you can ban me and then we'll all live happily ever after: you with your moral superiority that you can hurt whoever you want as long as you feel you have a good enough reason, and me without having to endure this right now or ever.
Like, I thought we all got over this in middle school, using someone's name as an insult because, tee hee, teacher, I'm not really calling them a bad word, I'm just turning their name into a bad word, that's totally different!!!!
I am so incredibly serious. I have limited ability to cope and this shit has already ruined two days within the last seven entirely by triggering mental health problems and making me literally actually cry with frustration over why so many people are so keen on hurting people even when they've asked them repeatedly to stop.
This is not a victimless term. You need to fucking stop or get out of my life and I'll get out of yours and we'll both move on.

Full moon tonight
May. 12th, 2025 11:36 amcrantzWerewolf's delight.
There's been a bee plague in my home - we suspect that the orange belted bumblebees native to the area that also love our garden chose to winter overnight at our place and came out on the wrong side when leaving hibernation. We've been rescuing them from all over the interior of the house.
I recommend you image search them because they're lovely. They're huge too and they don't have hives.
There was also a queen wasp in my room but she wasn't aggro and sadly passed away on her own before I could get her out to safety because she wouldn't go where I could actually reach her. My arms are short. My body small. There is a reason I have chosen the hamster of my 30s animal, as the magpie was my 20s and the cricket my 10s.
Hey did you know I turn 40 this september? Some people here knew me when I was an actual kid.
I turned in my last fic assignment the other day, I'm not doing spring/summer term for school this year (nothing I could take), and I am kind of freaking out from having an empty quest log because it makes me think I'm forgetting a lot of important things when I go 'what should I be doing' and am returned with 'data not found'.

Murderbot
May. 12th, 2025 11:25 amlannamichaelsI am unfortunately being taken in by the Murderbot TV Show promo campaign and am starting to think this might actually be good and I might enjoy it.
Oh no.
(it seems like it's WELL LIT!!!!!! And has bright colors!!!! And I'll be able to tell characters apart, possibly, which I could not do in the book except for like two of them!!!! So I'll be able to see what's going on, follow the plot, and identify the characters!!!!!) (my standards are low but also frequently unachievable.) (guess it remains to be seen if the camera movement makes me sick.)
3W4D - Meme Again
May. 12th, 2025 03:31 pmscifirenegadeHad to. There's one thing here that's been rattling in brain.
A - Your current OTP
Barbara/Ian forever. Barbarian, if you will.
B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind
My first thought was Ahmad/Jaffar of The Thief of Bagdad fame (all because of a fanvid), but I'm not in that fandom.
C - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will
Will not answer. Not because I'm afraid of being crucified, I just don't want to rain on people's parades.
D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t
Read number C.
E - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what?
It's all drops in the ocean, but yes. What? Pretty much everything I've ever drawn and written :P
F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?
Doctor Who. (Would say Pókemon, but I don't do much besides looking at fanart.)
G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it?
No idea. Belle/Beast? Willy Fogg/Romy? Robin Hood/Maid Marion? Who knows?
H - Do you prefer characters from real action series or anime series?
While I like anime, I'm more of a live-action person. But this is comparing apples and oranges.
I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
Not exactly Tumblr, and I didn't stop liking it, just became more shut off from it.
And people say I lack social skills...
J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over Tumblr
I guess Caligari? I never expected a silent film to have such a fandom. It makes sense here, there's so many loose ends and vagueness you can pick at and discuss, it's a beautiful-looking film, so lots of artthe somnambulist is hot.
K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom?
I have curated my DW fandom experience so well over the years I like it here. Granted, it's mostly classic Who.
The Conrad Veidt fandom has great artists. Yeah.
L - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for?
The next part of the series?
M - Your favorite fanart or fanartist?
I can't choose just one.
Connie Veidt as Leyendecker socks man be upon thee
N - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor?
I love thisiszircon's Undercurrents.
O - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of
My one weakness!
Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)
Sir meme, I have been haunted by the three sentence fic/drabble fusion of Ich und die Kaiserin and The Phantom of the Opera (1925 film edition). No need for more inventions.
Wait. Since Captain Hardt is in Anno Dracula (and a vampire), The Spy in Black AU but Hardt is a vampire and survives. \o/
Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why
Never. They stick together till the ends of time.
R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships
All the rarepairs from the teeny tiny fandoms ('cept Kurt/Paul Anders als die Andern, Droste/Ellissen of FP1 and Lancelot/Lynette of anything Arthurian.)
Or Erik/Me.
S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon
Erik dyes his hair white. Or his valet does. All for the aesthetic.
T - If you mostly have homoships, do you have any heteroships?
This! This was what's bugging me because I've never heard the terms "homoship" and "hereroship". Are they recent terms? Or are they older but more obscure?
I dunno.
U - If you mostly have heteroships, do you have any homoships?
Read T.
V - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping?
Don't think so.
W - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms
Did this here
X - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms
Doctor Who - Barbara/Ian <3
Anders als die Andern - Kurt/Paul (obviously)
The Spy in Black - Hardt/Bütter
Y - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from
Caligari, probably.
Wait no, those three dudes. They're basically canon, that doesn't count.
Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go
Connie's films should be more readily available. By this time last year, we got one previously unavailable film. Where's Hektor Dalmore? Christian Wahnschaffe? (What other unavailable films have people's names as the title?)
At least there's still
