Challenge #11

In your own space, create a fanwork.


I'm not sure if this is the final version of this and I've already shared a version of it at [community profile] ushobwri, where I was given the suggestion of refering to the genre of the series as urban fantasy.

This is a short scene between Zuko and Jason in my Batman/Avatar the last Airbender crossover, urban fantasy AU. All you need to know for this is that Jason is a werewolf, Zuko is a magic user, and they are dating.

Warning for non-graphic conversation about hypothetical cannibalism.

Challenge #12
Tell Us about a Personal Win.


The day this challenge went up, I was going to make a silly post saying, "I made a pretty girl laugh," and leave it at that because, let's be honest, 2023 was not great for me, and I did make a pretty girl laugh that day and that is a win, but I owe it to myself to acknowledge I did have some wins in the last year.

Five Things! The five things are totally up to you.


Five Things I am Passionate About You Might Not Know From Just Reading My Journal

1. Cheese I am not sure I have ever really talked about cheese on DW, aside from an odd comment here and there about liking cheese boards and making it a favored food in a land at [community profile] madrona_project, but am REALLY into cheese. I’m not sure why and I couldn’t really give you an “origin story” about it, but it is a weirdly big part of my IRL. I am constantly making cheese board (or planning them for funsies). I used to go to a lot of cheese tastings. I have a self-complied guide book to cheese – including ways to describe flavors, pairings, etc., that went to college with me. I think about half of my list of new foods I tried last year are cheeses. I genuinely get excited in the cheese section at the grocery store and one of my favorite things about the discount grocery we primarily shop at is that it has an imported cheese section. I am currently working my was through a wedge of mustard seed gouda from Holland. My favorite cheese is smoked gouda.

2. Historic Fashion (and subverting it) I absolutely love historic and vintage fashion. A huge part of my YouTube subscriptions are devoted to it, along with personal study of it. This is honestly an offshoot of my love of history in general and of period dramas. However, I am also not a purist. Sometimes, depending on what the end goal is, getting the silhouette or the idea down is more important than the details. I also see fashion as a kind of art, and sometimes bending the rules is necessary. Also, I love changing up details/reimagining things to fit fantasy and alternate universe settings, as well as things like, “what would a 14th century peasant dress look like if they had access to Lisa Frank fabric/aesthetic materials?” Of course, I will also talk your ear off about the proper way to wear a corset and why those buttons on that coat is wrong, so, *shrug*

3. Beverages This feels slightly cheaty, as it could probably been guessed by the amount I talk about tea and energy drinks, and the tea reviews I have been doing all month, but the truth is, I am passionate about beverages in general, not just tea and energy drinks. I have serious FOMO when new flavors of things come out. There are special seasonal flavors I MUST have during Halloween and Christmas. And I have yet to resist the siren’s call of something strange and interesting appearing in the beverage aisle at the discount grocery store, unless it has an ingredient I know my digestive issues will not play well with, but honestly, sometimes not even then. I have a thorough review of the limited edition AI generated coke flavor – I believe it was labeled as tasting of the future – that I never posted. (Yes, I have had most of the weird limited edition coke flavors, including Dreamworld and Starlight.) It’s also not something I am entirely proud of for a host of reasons, but here we are.

4. Outdoorsy-ish By PNW standards, I am not considered outdoorsy, but I do enjoy camping, hiking, campfires, and generally spending time outdoors. Nature fascinates me. The problem is that I want my hikes to be leisurely so, I can really look at things and take pictures or do sketches, not forced marches. I want to get up when I want to and sleep on something padded, not forced up at 5am and sleep directly on the ground. Basically, I get shamed a lot for not liking outside the "right" way. But I do like spending time outside. I'm just more of an indoor/outdoor gremlin.

5. Miniatures I have loved miniatures as long as I remember. The quickest way to get me to fall in love with something is to make it tiny. The only reason I don't have a hoard of meticulously decorated creepy dollhouses is lack of space (and money). I have the skills, I could make it happen. I do have a variety of other minis I am trying to build displays for, including a pill organizer full mini ducks & octopuses. Most of my fandom minis are on display, but I am not the biggest fan of their current set up. It looks like an army of Batmans were attacked by other fandoms and slugs. And there is of course my small collection of Funkos, which are not technically minis, but I sort of think of them in the same way. And the gaming miniatures I need to paint. And pieces of my Halloween village. And let's not forget the tiny pigs I have hidden among my mother's living room knickknacks. I think you get the point.

Rec Us Your Newest Thing.



So my newest things are Our Flag Means Death meme accounts on Instagram and Daylists on Spotify.

When I first got into Our Flag Means Death, with none of my friends being into it, I didn’t really feel like I had a space to play in, but I found community on Instagram, especially with meme accounts, that did more than just post fandom memes, but also dissected scenes and had discussions in the comments.

These are my favorite Our Flag Means Death meme accounts on Instagram:

our.memes.mean.death
our.flag.means.sass
ourflagmeansdeathbb

Honorable mention to ourflagmeetsgoodomens, as it is still a lot of fun, but it is primarily screencaps of tumblr asks with Neil Gaiman about Good Omens (TV series) – which again, a lot of fun, but off topic from Our Flag Means Death.

Daylists are a new thing on Spotify. I found out about them when a mutual I have on Instagram posted in his stories “screw your astrology sign, send me your Spotify daylist title,” with a screen cap of his current one. This peaked my interest as it fits in with my “send me your playlists, not your nudes,” philosophy, but also because I had no idea what he was talking about.

How you find them, is you search on Spotify for daylist or my daylist, and it will bring up for you a playlist titled daylist (which you will need to add to your library if you want quicker access too). Unlike the daily mixes it was already doing, The daylist changes multiple times a day. From my experimentation, there is a morning, afternoon, evening, and late night list. Under the title, it gives you a description of you playlist, including what genres it includes, (sometimes) what you listened to that made it pick these genres, how long the playlist is, and at what time your daylist will change to the next one. (You can also preview tracks like a regular playlist.)

My first Daylist I got was titled, “lip sync teen angst afternoon,” which made me feel seen and called out at the same time. It seems to be a common reaction, though I know a couple people that have gotten ones that seem to have nothing to do what they listen to, so sometimes it misses, but I am hooked.

It also gives you a bunch of other mixes it thinks you might like based on your listening and says they were created “for you,” but they seem to be premade mixes they push on everyone. So far, my suggested mixes have been, “Goblincore Mix,” “Anti Anxiety Mix,” “Pirate Metal Shanty Mix,” “Spooky Evil Gay Mix,” “Egg Punk Mix,” “Bubblegrunge Mix,” “Meme Mix,” “Tuesday Mix,” “Murder Ballad Mix,” “Purple Sound Mix,” “Horror Movie Synthwave Mix,” “Angry Whistling Mix,” and “Crying Birthday Mix,” at least those are the ones I took note of. It also sent me a bunch of kpop, which I have never listened to. (Nothing against it, just never have, but noted here to show that the other mixes don't necessarily have to do with what you listened to and are probably premade.)

My favorite Daylist title so far has been “dynamic religious music Thursday night,” which had zero religious music and was almost entirely goth bands and various flavors of horror and doom. It was a lot of fun.

My current daylist while I type this is “angst college rock Wednesday afternoon.” The titles are not always inventive.

Challenge #14

Try something new.


- This is ongoing, but our local library has added 20+ board games to their “library of things” so my mother and I are trying one each week. So far, we have tried Azul (tile matching game) and Sushi Go (card game). We have Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza this week, but haven’t tried it yet.

- I am going to actually try the [community profile] halfamoon challenge (celebrates female characters in fandom from 2/1 to 2/14) this year. I always forget about it until it’s more than half over, but this year, I am giving it a real go. *fingers crossed*

- I am also signing up for [personal profile] elasticella’s Fresh Femslash Salad Bar (a Multifandom femslash event, runs all of February). She runs such good femlash events and I always end up missing out. Hopefully, I can get at least one fill done next month. If I can ever decide on which tables to claim.

Challenge #13

Make a rec list of fanworks!


If this looks suspiciously like last year’s rec post, it’s because it is. The first one is a fourth year in a row repeat because I like it and why break tradition. The others are because I’d still rec them and I’m having to do this on a library computer where traipsing around my AO3 bookmarks would be frowned upon (and anywhere else I have things saved, there runs a great risk of accidentally bringing up content that would be considered NSFW, which would get me banned from the computers).

Batnesia by Qui is one of my favorite SuperBats fics of all time. Bruce Wayne gets amnesia that very specifically only affects his memories that involve being Batman. When he wakes up, one of the first people he sees is Clark staring down at him and immediately assumes Clark is his boyfriend. The BatFam is advised to just go with whatever Bruce thinks and let his memories come back to him on his own. This leads to some hijinks and some surprising self-reflection on Bruce's part. It also has some case fic elements as they try to figure out how Bruce got amnesia in the first place and how to fix it. I'm not going to share my favorite part because, while it is a minor plot point, it is still a bit spoilery. I am going to say, I appreciate that Clark is very aware of the consent issues of being intimate with Bruce while he doesn't know who he is and avoids doing so, much to Bruce's frustration. Also, this fic started the whole “Jason Todd identifies things by licking them” bit of fanon.

Challenge #8

Talk about a current fannish project (fic, art, vid, crochet, funko pop village) (that you are creating or enjoying)


I have a lot of fannish projects in varying stages of progress. These are the ones that are most present on my mind of late:

- I am actively working on adding to my crossover series'. I feel like I don’t give them enough love, despite being some of my favorite things to poke at. The most current ones are:

An Avatar: The Last Airbender/Batman crossover modern magic AU. Basically, magic and supernatural creatures are real, and it’s not really a secret, but it’s kind of ignored or looked down upon by larger “regular” human society. It’s there if you are looking for it, but most people aren’t. Bruce Wayne is a doctor at a free clinic by day and mad scientist by night, Alfred is something unspeakable and old, there is something really wrong with Dick but nobody talks about it, Tim has been recently turned into a vampire and hiding it, and Jason Todd is a werewolf that was adopted by Bruce and then resurrected Frankenstein style after he died. Most of the rest of the cast, including nearly all the AtLA characters, are magic users of various types, except Sokka. I have no idea what to do with Sokka. Most of the characters know each other by either being adopted by being part of the Wayne family or by going to the same exclusive school.

And

An Addams Family/Batman crossover kid fic AU, where Bruce Wayne and Wednesday Addams are the same age and neighbors (and have a crush on each other).

- I’ve been designing ornaments for a fandom themed holiday tree to reflect my multifandom-ness. Examples include: a small stocking that, in material and design, is inspired by the Stargate Atlantis off world uniforms with a ZPM in it and a garland that looks like Inuyasha’s beads of subjugation necklace. Though everything is in the planning stages.

Related to this, I’ve also been working on a strictly Good Omens themed mini tree. I have the white mini tree and I made a red snake garland for it, but it has some issues. The rest of the decorations were going to be made from shrink plastic, but I haven’t had time and resources to make them.

- Last year I started a junk journal of my year, that included tags of my fandoms of the year. Almost all of them are still in progress. Basically, they were paper tags styled after old school manilla tags and I drew related fanart on them. So far, there are ones for Wednesday, The Sandman, Hilde, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Invader Zim, and Moonstruck, but there are more to come.

- I have lengthy WIP that is a master list of all the Bat gadgets mentioned in the original 1960 Batman TV series, as well as another list of all of Dick Grayson’s hobbies and extracurricular activities. I am thinking of starting another one of all the committees Bruce is on.

- Speaking of lists, I also have one of all of the “periodic exclamations of surprise that also name-check women in history and the arts” in the Lumberjanes series in progress. (I had to quote someone on Good Reads to get the description right.)

There are more, but those are the big ones, I think.

Challenge #6

In your own space, share a favourite piece of original canon (a show, a specific TV episode, a storyline, a book or series, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.


It was really hard to pick something, but I am going to go with a mystery from the 1950s live action Superman series, Adventures of Superman - Why can’t Jimmy stay home alone?

This is an issue that pops up repeatedly throughout the six seasons of the series. I know that the real reasons are “the plot necessitates it” and that, despite being an adult character, Jimmy Olsen was also a stand in for the children viewers, generally having the same problems and limitations they would have and they would never be allowed to stay home alone. But it’s still kind of fascinating.

They establish from the beginning that Jimmy is, in fact, an adult. His age is a bit in question as continuity was not something this show was particularly concerned with. Most of the time that his age comes into question, its simply left at under 21, (I tend to think of him as 19/20), but there is an episode in the last season that Clark confirms that Jimmy is 22, for at least that episode. He has a full-time job. He travels alone for both pleasure and work. He owns his own car. He goes places like baseball games, nice restaurants, and double features alone. The one time his mother is concerned he stayed out late, wasn’t because he was out late, but because he doesn’t normally stay out that late (after 1am) without checking in. There is even at least one episode (possibly two) where he briefly has his own apartment. Jimmy very much has the social markers and responsibilities of an adult, even with the child stand in coding.

All that being said, he does live with his mother the vast majority of the series, which isn’t unusual (they never establish what happened to Jimmy’s father), but every time his mother goes out of town, Jimmy has to stay with someone. Of the three times this is an important plot point, two of them he stays with Clark and the other, he housesits for an elderly friend of his mother’s who is also out of town at the same time.

These differences are kind of important. When he stays with Clark, he kind of becomes Clarks little temporary “wife” – he does all the cooking and they talk about him doing at least part of the cleaning, on top of just taking care of himself. Now, Jimmy’s cooking skills are pretty basic, but he has them and there are no mishaps regarding anything his domestic endeavors or taking care of himself. More importantly, when he is housesitting, he is completely alone in that apartment. He does not know the neighbors and no one is scheduled to check on him. The only reason anyone does is because Jimmy has been unwittingly placed in the middle of an art theft ring and the noises they make at night freak him out, so he calls Clark to come over.

So, he is in fact capable of taking care of himself, and unless his mother really hates her friend for some reason, trustworthy enough to live alone for at least short periods of time.

Which all begs the question, what exactly did he do? He had to have done something for his mother to not let him stay home alone and knowing Jimmy, it could have really been anything. I mean the man accidentally created an anti-gravity formula while trying to bake a chocolate cake.

It’s one of my favorite fandom mysteries to ponder.

Challenge #5

Search in your current space, whether brick-and-mortar or digital. Post a picture (a link to a picture will be fine!) or description of something that is or represents
:

1. Something your favorite character would like
One of the problems with being so multifandom is that, I am not sure who my favorite character is, like, no one particular character comes to mind. According to [personal profile] vexed_wench, my favorite character is Alfred Pennyworth. I think he would appreciate my very clearly labeled storage system and that I have sewing kits hidden throughout the house. My mother heard what I was doing and started shouting out Dean Winchester related things, so I will add the assorted bottles of whiskey in the laundry room. (We keep all the alcohol in a cabinet in the laundry room. Also, Bobby is actually my favorite Supernatural character, but I think this works for both.) And just because I feel like Iroh needs a shout out, I think he would appreciate my very assorted collection of teas.

2. Something that makes you laugh
The gifs from Vexed that regularly grace my phone.

3. A fandom place you would like to visit
Okay, technically, there are a few things I could use for this, but every time I found one, my brain went, "No, not there, you'll die." So, I'm skipping this one. (Though my mother has decided to help me with this scavenger hunt and brought me my Stargate SG-1 DVDs when she heard what question I was on.)

4. A fandom creator (pro or not) you'd like to meet
My brain interpreted this in too many ways. If we are talking a creator that created a fandom, I am going with my Emotional Support Demon plushie. I was so happy to get one of The Click’s plushies after missing out on Cliccy Kitties 1 and 2, and both runs of Mango. (I also got the keychain sized versions of the Emotional Support Demon and Mango last year.) If we are talking a creator in a fandom that creates fandom things, I have the print out of an email, for collage purposes, of confirmation of tickets I bought for a virtual burlesque show I went to a few years ago. One of the show’s featured performers was a writer/cosplayer/performer/make-up artist/trans & chronic illness advocate/comic enthusiast/goblin rogue I really appreciate. But honestly the idea of meeting anyone is terrifying.

5. Something you find comforting
Oden the Peccary Pig of the Squishmallow Desert Squad. According to his bio, he loves building intricate sandcastles. All I know is petting the fluff on top of his head helps me sleep.

6. Something from a favorite TV series or movie from your childhood
When I was a baby, my sister made me a Popple blanket from a kit as part of her sewing class.

7. A piece of clothing you love
My red "DAMNIT BRUCE, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF ROOMS" T-shirt. It was an early bit of Panda Redd merch that, sadly, most of the lettering has come off of. I went to buy a sticker with the saying, but when he switched shops recently, it was not part of the old designs he brought over.

8. A book or song with a color in the title
There are literally thousands of books in my house and I frustratingly could not find one with a color in the title. So, I turned to my music collection and found "Inked in Red" by Vision video and "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance at pretty much the same time.

9. Something only someone in your fandom would understand
I guess my letterman's jacket. It’s maroon with grey sleeves and a grey hood. The emblem on the left side of the chest is a “15” in the center of the “flame” design that surrounds an anti-possession tattoo and the back has a W with a black Chevy impala threaded through it with, “There’ll be peace when you are done” around it. I’ve worn this thing almost every day for almost (?) 4 years now. The most common comment I get is people shouting “cool jacket” at me. I also get a lot of knowing nods from people I assume are Supernatural fans and it’s started a lot of unexpected conversations about Supernatural. However, it has just as often gotten people coming up to me asking what sport I played, wanting to try to start conversations about cars, asking what religious organization I belong to, or just “what does 15 mean?”

Challenge #3

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive.


1) I actually have a couple wishlists linked in my Important Links post, but the primarily fandom wishlist is here

2) Please leave some love (comment, kudos, etc) on a work you love. Especially, if it is a video, because they seem to get fewer comments and such than fics and art for some reason. It will make the creator's day. And by work, I mean anything - fics, art, videos, crafty projects, meta, cosplay, mood boards, icons, anything.

3) Let the mod of a comm or host of a fest that your appreciate them and the work they do.

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year.


My goals for the year are still in the nebulous, "well, this is kinda what I'd like to do," stage and haven't been fleshed out into real, actionable goals yet.

I have been thinking about them a lot, it is the season, but also several comms I'm in have had their goals for the year check in posts, and I set up my new bullet journal pages and my planner for the year. Based on those things, my goals will look something like this:

Challenge #1

Update your fandom information.


  • I updated my About Me page and my Ultimate Fandom List (linked in About Me page)


  • Made sure my friending policy was visible and up-to-date


  • Checked that all the links in my Important Links sticky work


  • Updated the interests on my profile


  • Made sure my transformative works policy was posted and up-to-date here on DW. I will need to update it elsewhere later


  • And double checked that all 2023 journal entries have tags



I will update the 2023 Wrisolutions to the 2024 Wrisolutions once I write them, and I will add a 2024 Snowflake Master post link to my Important Links sticky after I am done posting this. I am also leaving the 2023 Snowflake Master post linked because I didn't finish it until like 3 days ago. I think my profile is probably okay.

Happy New Year, everyone :)

Challenge #10

In your own space, create a fanwork.


I do not normally write RPF, but One Topic at a Time called for submissions of fanfic about himself and The Click during his Christmas livestream. They plan on doing a livestream or a podcast episode with Salty the Alien, reading out the fanfics, something they have done before. I do not have the confidence to submit a fic for that, but it was inspiration enough for this challenge.

As it's a radio host AU, I don't think you need to know them/the fandom to get it.

For some context as to who One Topic at a Time (OT) and The Click are, they are YouTubers. Both primarily react to memes on Reddit. The Click does most cursed content, reacting to subreddits like r/Insane Parents, r/Found Satan, r/FacebookMoms, and r/FurryIRL. While OT is known for being more wholesome and primarily reacts to the various LGBTQIA+ supportive subreddits, like r/Traaaaaaaaaaaaaaans and r/Sappho and her Friend, though he has been switching to more gaming livestreams, content wise. They have a podcast together called The Shipped Podcast, the title being a play off of the amount of fans that ship them together, where they talk about current event-ish things, youtube related pop culture, and just facts of life. OT is in Canada and The Click is in Sweden.

I have no plans of posting this anywhere else. Please do not repost.
