face the strange

A Yellowjackets community on dreamwidth is finally a thing that exists! :D The awesome tellshannon815 started it, and I'm super excited!

♡♡♡ yellowjackets_fans ♡♡♡

Day 10: Reserved for one or two questions from Day 3! (I'm definitely going to do most, if not all, of these questions! ♡ So this is just part 1. :D)

Which character either because of story/backstory or performance broke your heart and why?

Oh, this is definitely Quentin Coldwater, hands down. It's all because of the ending, so the solution is to just ignore this part of canon and pretend it didn't happen, which most of the fandom has been cheerfully doing for the last 4+ years. xD But still, it was honestly the saddest that a fictional story has ever made me feel in my entire life.

Rika Furude broke my heart too, mostly in Gou, mostly in this scene/episode, which I immediately made into an incorrect quote graphic (the quote is NYTMinusContext) in order to tame it via crack, as I do, but it didn't get much less heartbreaking tbh.


Also Jaskier is currently inexplicably breaking my heart in S3 of The Witcher, like, this is weird and doesn't have ~logical reasons~, but it doesn't change the fact that he just does, lol.

Day 9: Who, from any of your fandoms, would you like to pluck out of their fiction-based universe and drop into this universe, in a role such as an elected official or the like?

This is not an easy question for me because a) I don't tend to think highly about politics in general, b) any character I can think of off the top of my head is/would be an absolute disaster in this area anyway. xD So I'll just say that I really, really want Granny Weatherwax to be real. :D She'd scoff at the very idea of being an elected official, but the world could really use someone like her.

➽ I'm nearly caught up on Star Trek: SNW (halway through episode 4), and I'm really appreciating alllll the focus on La'an, who's always been my main fav! ♡♡♡ Sometimes she even gets to have a good time. xD

➽ And hey, I have another The Witcher thought that doesn't leave me alone - Jaskier is BREAKING MY GORRAM HEART this season, honestly nearly as much as Quentin Coldwater did, and he's largely a comic relief who is not even dead or anything??? And I'm not sure what to do about that. Maybe read some happy fic? :D *not 100% sure about this solution but gonna try it anyway* Or come up with a cracky crossover for him, this can probably help even more. :D

➽ I'm baaaaack! ♡ I legit missed every single one of y'all and I can't wait to see what you've all been up to. :D I'll be sharing random photos and stories for the next few days (or, more likely, weeks). :D

➽ It was my birthday yesterday, for which I got myself a pin saying "It's My Birthday". :D The highlight of it - the 10-hour bus ride back. :D (No, really, I absolutely unironically love long bus rides, and train rides even more so! ♡) The highlight of that - lip-syncing to I Will Always Love You and other songs the driver was playing. xD Also clouds! ♡

➽ Two creator reveals happened while I was gone, so have some of my art. :D

Day 2: What show or movie would you like rebooted? Same premise and storylines, but all new actors, showrunners, writers, technology, and social awareness?

I actually don't think I have one. I like my favorite shows as they are, and I'll happily re-watch them as they are. ♡ And in new shows I'll equally happily see new characters and stories. :) (Now, spin-offs and/or tv adaptations of other media? Count me in! :D)

Summary:

Staying at Lottie’s wellness compound has been a mixed bag of a decision.

Before they confront It, they have to confront themselves.

I find myself skipping questions more and more as I'm running out of the fun ones (I don't find the ones focused entirely on complaining to be fun to think about, and I'm only randomizing for myself - no one has actually asked me them), but I don't think I'm fully running out of them anytime soon anyway. :D

85. Do you eat food that’s past its expiration date if it still smells and looks fine?
Yep, definitely - it is fine, it doesn't know what its expiration date is. xD

304. If you were in charge renaming things so that their names would be more accurate, what names would you come up with?
I didn't actually come up with any of these, it's an old meme, I just agree wholeheartedly. xD


474. What’s your favorite type of funny video to watch?
Definitely animals, obviously mostly cats and seals, but also goats, ferrets and other animals who tend to be random af. :D
