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

♡♡♡ yellowjackets_fans ♡♡♡

➽ I rewatched the first 4 episodes of Pretty Little Liars last night and today, and woah, I had no idea that Ben from PLL is also Ben from Yellowjackets! xD If the timeline was linear I'd be 100% headcanonning that it is the same character, except in his evil-comphet-highschool-jock era that he grew out in the 10+ years it's been since then.

➽ It apparently took me 11 days to sort of get used to being back after 11 days of being away (which is very symmetrical and all :P), so hopefully now or at least very soon I'm going to be back on dw for real. :D I even started drawing again today. :D

Caught up on all the existing The Witcher episodes. :D And, like, there's Yellowjackets where I have multiple things to say about every single episode, and then there's The Witcher where my main train of thought is *HEART EYES* THE SHEER NUMBER OF PRETTY THAT THIS SHOW PROVIDES. ♡♡♡ (Which is really fun in itself because it became the 'pretty PRETTY people show' for me very recently, it really wasn't one when S1 or even S2 was airing. xD S2 still being my favorite overall. ♡) I'mma need like a thousand new icons. :D But I also I adored it in general, especially [very, very vague and brief spoilers] ( under the cut )

The two wonderful gifts I got on Monday morning! ♡♡♡

The Fannish Friday Five for 14 April 2023

1. What fandom(s) do you follow on LiveJournal or Dreamwidth?
The only fandoms that I'm more or less familiar with that you can actually follow on dreamwidth (as in, they have active communities here) are sid_guardian and bnha_fans. I only watched a bit of both, though, so I'm not active there. (I had to drop out of the Guardian re-watch a while ago because of how easily I can fall behind on dw as it is. *pouting because it was awesome* I'm watching it myself, though. :D) My main fandoms don't have active communities, but that's not stopping me from posting about them, and sometimes even my dw friends are also fans. :D

2. Where else do you follow those fandoms?
At this point I mostly just follow Yellowjackets on reddit A LOT. :D I also find new fandoms via AO3 exchanges, and sometimes on tumblr.

3. Have you ever met up with fannish friends?
Well, I've been living with one of them for the last 10 years - I originally met jacquelee on lj. :D I also met a few other people from lj at Fedcon - Onyx and Astra, and I really hope I'm not forgetting anyone else, but if I am, it was also awesome meeting you. :D

4. When there's a question on a 'find a fic' community, are you likely to help find the fic or do you hope someone else will know it?
The chances that I know the fandom are already pretty low. If I do know the fandom, the chances that I either already know the fic or it's something I'd be okay with skimming in the process of searching are... pretty much non-existent? But in general, I'd be happy to help. :D (And I'd definitely be happy to help if it's something that doesn't need skimming the content - like if someone looking for a title they already know, and you just need google-fu to find it.)

5. Did you customize/tweak your LJ or DW home page or are you using one of the basic options?
Back in the day I used to customize literally everything (including the scroll bar and cursor sometimes), and then it kinda just gradually changed to 'mostly customized' to 'a little bit customized' to 'not customized at all', not even sure why. Well, my favorite lj layout died because of broken links, so that's possibly why. xD But I'm happy with my current basic layout. :D

My longer-than-usual Yellowjackets post is here! (Shorter posts are sure more comfortable to write, but I couldn't stop. xD)

Spoilers for episode 2x04 - Old Wounds.
