10 for 10 for 10

I’ve been tagged by @yossariandawn Thanks for thinking of me! and for all the great questions! (and sorry it took so long. I had a hard time thinking of 10 questions of my own.)

Answer 10 questions, ask 10 questions, tag 10 people.

1. If you could learn a new skill instantly, what would you choose? I’m not sure. I think that if it’s a skill you really enjoy than taking the time to learn becomes part of the enjoyment, so it’d have to be a skill I either only kind of wanted or that I felt was a need over a want. Oo, MMA, good exercise and the ability to defend myself or someone else if I ever need to, and it’s not something I feel really passionately about going through the process of learning.

2. What part of the world (that you’ve never been to) would you choose to live in for a month? Hyère, France. Don’t even have to think about it. About eight years ago I was planning a move and it was on the short list of places I was considering going to. The climate seemed the most ideal to what I wanted to live in and all the pictures were beautiful.

3. Favorite kind of sandwich or wrap? Grilled cheese? I don’t like sandwiches (or wraps) typically.

4. Show swap! Bring back 3 shows you love, but you also have to choose 3 you like to cancel instead. Oo, gotta think about this one. I don’t want to bring back a show that was already past its peak and I don’t want to say to cancel a show that isn’t ready to end.

Cancel: (I stuck only with shows that I watch and enjoy so I’m not digging at any show just because it’s not my personal preference)

NCIS – I love the show, seen every last episode and will continue watching it until the end, but it’s time for it to wrap up. It well past its prime.

Lucifer – Listen, I love this show, and there’s a ton of great characters and material here to make a long running series, but they have started going in circles with it and that’s making it feel old. How many times can the same characters learn the same lessons before it just feels like the writers are just forcing things back into the same ol’ mold? Let the story grow or move on.

Shameless – It’s a stretch because the finale season has already been declared, but it’s a show that I don’t really need that finale season, even if I will watch and enjoy it, because it’s reached its natural end.

Bring back:

From Dusk till Dawn: the series – I debated on this one. It wrapped everything up so nicely and I’m quite happy with how it ended, but at the same time the writers had plans for the next season and it was never officially cancelled and there’s so much more story that could be told.

Firefly – Although it’s been enough time that it might have to be more of a reboot maybe? Or are we doing the impossible and it’s coming back shortly after it was canceled? Either way, that show was cancelled way too soon.

The Gifted – Yes, it was a bit cheesy but it’s just as good, if not better than, a lot of the comicbook shows still going AND it ended on a cliffhanger. It needed to continue

5. What fandom would you want to get into, but haven’t yet? I don’t know. I feel like I don’t exactly pick my fandoms. I start watching a show or go see a movie or read a book and then if I feel like looking up fandom stuff after I do.

6. What show or movie do you watch to cheer you up? Probably Community. It’s a good show that has that nice balance of being a ridiculous comedy, but not too silly at the same time. And it hits so many of my favorite tropes. (Leverage could also count.)

7. Favorite condiments? ….salt? That’s technically a seasoning, but I am not a condiment fan. They are mostly gross and just cover up the flavor the food with their grossness.

8. What characters (from different universes) do you think would love hanging out together? Pick as many as you want. I wrote for fun a Kisa (FDtD) and Troy (Community) scene and discovered I really like them interacting (there was other people in the scene, but they stole all my attention in a matter of moments). They connected in a weird way and I loved writing Kisa’s bizarre and confused reactions to Troy. Britta (Community) and Richie (FDtD) would get along well I think. They’d click in that odd way that Richie has with random people and Britta would be a little too oblivious to Richie’s more social flaws/creepy nature, as is her way when it comes to guys with even the tiniest bit of charm and intelligence. Not gonna lie, I kind of ship them now.

I would also put Shawn from Psych with the entire Leverage crew. Sophie is the only one I feel would find him a bit much at times, mainly because she can spot a grift a mile away and Shawn’s kind of always “on” and think it would mess with her trust issues too much for her to be entirely comfortable around him. Nate sees his potential, especially if Shawn’s been brought in to help on a job, and the guy is ultimately one of the Good Guys, and he would go a long way to helping put Sophie at ease. Because Nate’s too smart to be taken in by someone like Shawn and Sophie wouldn’t feel like she’s the only one who sees him for the conartist he is. Eliot would groan and grumble for show, but in the end Shawn’s like a combination of his two favorite people in the world; Parker and Hardison. Plus, I headcanon Shawn and Eliot as cousins. I think Hardison might find Shawn a little too like himself to ever be best buddies with the guy, but overall they’d get along just fine. As for Parker... I feel like they’d be almost like two kids on the playground who both found out they like the same obscure cartoon none of the other kids have seen.

I have a little headcanon about Parker (Leverage) and Clint Barton (MCU) having been in the same foster home as kids and having this kind of a past-sibling-esque connection. I like to think that with both their careers they don’t meet up often, but whenever they realize they are in the same place at the same time, it’s a given that they’ll hang out while there.

My roommate keeps yelling over my shoulder Starlord and Micheal (from the movie starring John Travolta) until I agreed to put them. They would get along in a weird sort of fun way that would be fun to watch but hard to be a part of, but since I haven’t see that movie since I was a kid it’s not one I think of.

9. What’s the most underrated show or movie or book or artist that you love and people should really check out?

Ilona Andrews is an amazing author and more people should check their works out. But the most underrated show I think I’ve ever gotten into… honestly would probably be From Dusk till Dawn. I feel like most of my followers are at least aware of it though because I post enough about it, but it was just really good and sort of cut off before its time. A really close second would be Leverage. It’s still the number one show I recommend when people ask me and I just adore it to pieces.

10. What were you obsessed with as a kid?

So many things, but probably Jasmine from Disney’s Aladdin the most. Pretty sure I named more than one stuffed animal after her.

My questions:

1. What was your first fandom? Are you still a part of it?

2. Current self care method(s)?

3. What are three (3) shows you keep meaning to binge watch but haven’t yet?

4. Do you stay active in fandoms after a new one catches your eye, or are you more a one at a time person?

5. What was the last movie you saw with someone else? What would you rate it?

6. Favorite guilty pleasure?

7. What’s a highly underrated show/movie/book series that you would recommend?

8. Any new hobbies you’ve started during quarantine? Any you want to start?

9. What meme do you wish would just die already?

10. Spread the love to your followers and post at least one link to a fic you’re reading/have read/wish to read/you’ve written yourself/etc.

I tag: @shyesplease @valeskaj @ithoughtiwasflying @c-sand @mygutsforgarters @bethanyactually @crystallinee-waters @evanberries @nevergonnabemuchmorethanweather @katwithlove and anyone else who wants to do answer! Seriously, I love having people respond even if I didn’t tag someone.

Opinions ahoy!

So I spent all of quarantine debating whether or not I should watch something new, especially new anime. A month ago I finally caved and decided to watch some anime that's on Hulu. I started with Assassination Classroom. I was actually into the story and even though it has my favorite things ever (huge cast of characters that become a family) I never ended up obsessing. I do like NagisaxKarma, Korosensei and I cried at the end of course, but it was just a cute show I wouldn't mind catching again some day. But not something I that would obsess over.

The next one I watched was Stars Align because I really wanted to watch it last winter but I was too busy with school. And man, is it so underrated! I'm a fan of sports anime less because of the sport and more for how characters interact. And boy do these babies deserve better than what they got. The show is super slice of life (my fave) plus the kids become close (more my fave) but its so much deeper considering how crappy these kids lives are. And omg that fucking cliffhanger. Episode 12 really stabbed u in the heart. This show supremely needs season 2. Like now. I have adopted these kids and I will coparent with Makis mom and Rintaros parents. Yu and Kanako are peak nblm/wlw solidarity. And I'm all for ToumaxMaki getting together in the future. Just omg this show needs more recognition.

And lastly I literally just caught up on Food Wars and I did not expect to like it as much as I do. Especially Soutaku. Can I just say that the Souma and Takumi are so cute and the fact that they're a rarepair is insulting. The show has a feel similar to sports anime, but with a dash of watching food network. Honestly that's a mood, especially in quarantine. I didn't expect it to be so... Vuglar though? Its filled with nudity and fan service. I can understand why the shipping is so, hetero? And it totally pushed the Erina and Souma ship, but I just can't buy it when Erina has a loving GF already? Like her and Hisako are so in love? Erina radiates that lesbian energy to me. But I do like Souma and her become friends, or having a close sibling like relationship, like a lot. (Honestly if I had to be het, Nikumi and Megumi are cuter with Souma than Erina ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) I realize I jumped in during the last season and the manga well done, and I thought I wasn't gonna like it after the first few eps, but cheerful protag makes friends because all they what is to keep improving is my fave. I know this arc is the part of the manga people hate, so I'll stay wary, but I know that a Soutaku scene is happening in a few eps, so I'm hyped. And if I have to be the only gay SnS fan then so be it. Look, I know I have become obsessed with a show when I come up with a High School Musical AU and I just came up with it yesterday. I'm officially doomed. (Souma and Takumi into something that's not cooking? Absurd. Also don't worry, no het ships in my stories ever.)

So I guess what I'm saying is, please direct me to some Soutaku I'm dying. I only started watching Food Wars last week and I already read most of fanfics on AO3. Its really sad that they're a rarepair. I mean, Takumi is so in love it hurts. Even his brother knows. All of Polar Star probably knows. I just want more of them. (Also justice for Stars Align)

#sorry guys i just really needed to vent v(´-ι_-｀)v #its just a heads up that stars align and sns are now shows i love and i added to my list 👆👆👆#no plans to ever integrate in any aus because that would take forever to implement #but they are added to my fandom college and of course sns has a hsm au now that im kinda proud of #i literally just came up with it last night #i also get into the shows with fandoms with some kind of problems #today its dead fandoms and rarepairs #wooo #again just rambles no real need to interact with this #only if u want

HEYLO MAAM 👋🏾 can I get the directors cut for your angsty marvel au, your ideas and plans for the future ~shadow cat~ (I am so so so sorry if I remembered the name wrong like seriously sorry) if you feel like sharing because you already know I’m Besotted with the au, you’re characterisation of Klaroline, AND THE PLOT OMG THE CLIFFHANGER HAUNTS ME TO THIS DAY

I want to preface this by saying that I am going back and re-reading these fic so I can give a true director's cut and thoughts on these. So, without further ado:

I really started this fic off saying "Angst" didn't I? When was the last time I wrote angst? Should I write it again?

Oomph, I had forgotten I made them 19 and 30. Alexa, play "All Too Well (10 min version) (Taylor's Version)"

I didn't write it in this, but Caroline obviously called Klaus "Mr. Mikaelson" at least once in bed, and he was way too into it for his own comfort

I used "roof" instead of ceiling, and that is a common mistake I make and never catch and it drives me crazy in hindsight

Ah, yes, using canon!Klaus' insecurity issues to fuel his desire to join actual fucking Nazis. That is peak me. (Also... I am judging Klaus so hard right now, even though I'm the one who wrote him this way)

I really wonder if I wrote this during S2 of Agents of SHIELD, because this angst is giving me peak Skyeward feels, and that seems like something I would do.

I clearly took inspiration from how Wanda/Pietro got their powers in the MCU to make Caroline Shadowcat

Okay, so, the sequel would definitely have Klaus teaming up with the Avengers (against Tony's better judgment) to get Caroline, and probably Bucky, back.

Like, I picture Tony running across Shadowcat and recognizing her, but she's just like "do I know you?" and all seems lost until somehow Klaus gets brought up and for just a second, she seems to remember.

Tony hates it, but he realizes the bastard might be his best chance for getting his daughter back, and look - Tony can be a shitty person, but he's always been a decent dad who loves his daughter, and if he needs to deal with Klaus fucking Mikaelson to bring her back, then he will.

Also, picture this: they get Caroline back, and we start to see a new generation of Avengers form with Caroline, Wanda, Peter, and probably Kate Bishop.

Finally: should I force a Caroline/Finn BroTP into any sequel? Like, I feel that Klaus is disowned by the actual Mikaelsons, so they wouldn't really know much about his relationship with Caroline, and she doesn't even remember who she is. So when she gets separated from Bucky at some point she meets Finn and he helps her and somehow ends up on the run from "these crazy people who claim their heroes" while she's trying to get her memories back and figure out who she is?

#Fic: a perfect prayer in a desperate hour #ask game #certifiedceraunophile
