Advanced Procrastination

Welcome post

Wed, 19 Dec 2018 02:41:41 GMT

I am Saffron, a 30+ who tries to pretend to be a functioning adult. One day I would like to know what I want to become when I grow up because right now I have no clue.

I choose hot chocolate over both tea and coffee, despite being lactose intolerant (some things are just worth it) and boiled carrots are the worst. I am all for sweet things and cannot stand anything spicy.

I do my best to be optimistic because I am very pessimistic towards things in general and I don't like it and don't see it as constructive attitude for me to have

I'm practical to the point where I sometimes forget the aesthetic part of things even though I love pretty things

I think a lot, and I overthink a lot but I like it when people and media makes me question things I've never thought about questioning before, I feel like it is a good thing for my mind/soul to get a workout at times.

Most of my posts will probably be written in the middle of the night so uh, sorry in advance for all the typos, I'll correct them sometime after I've had some sleep.

-----

I absolutely love all of the different ways fans express their passion for what they love, from videos to knitting to cookbooks, I'm there.

Another part of it is all of the different AUs out there. The different ways themes and worldbuilding can combine with the source material into something new, or the wildly different ways a setting, like a coffee shop or a trope can be portrayed, explored and subverted.That in addition to character growth and developing relationships of all kinds between characters makes me feel as if my birthday's come early.

I am generally pretty easy to recruit into a new fandom. You can count on me dragging up old fandoms, both live action and anime, as I never really leave a fandom, just collect more of them.
Fandom-wise, right now, I'm mostly into live action shows, podfics and what the newest season of anime will bring.

NSFW content and personal posts will be locked and spoilers will be posted beneath a cut, all other fandom posts will be public.

As for shipping, I think that what draws someone to a certain dynamic or couple can be very individual and that I don't really have any right to judge, whether it be a dark, fluff or crack ship. Even if I might not see why you would ship something, it is your business, not mine. And who knows? maybe you'll win me over ^^

Have a look around and I hope you enjoy your stay!

I watched the first ep of the dub for Megalo Box and I think they did a really good job all around, I had nothing to complain about and I will be looking forward to seeing this show again in English, I do have a thought, a "what if?" if you may.
Now I do love Kaiji Tangs, interpretation of Joe, and will not say anything bad about it. But what if they'd gone with a va with a latin accent?

Hear me out:
( mostly spoilers of ep1 and Yuris story arc up to around ep 10 )

I'm not crying you're crying (last one for today I promise)

I was just reading the welcome from tumblr post made by the staff and while looking through the comments in search of some new coms to follow I saw a username and a userpic I haven't seen since my lj days

we were never friends but we had hung around the same coms and it was like a punch in the gut 'I know you, you're alive, youre here, you stayed in fandom' and I don't know if its most strange of comforting to have deja-vu in an internet comunitiy.

also I need to find an icon that I like and never change it ever. my plans for changing username might also be in the trash now (I did not plan to have it for more than a week or two and it is so long) so that people will recognize me down the road. maybe this is who i am now, irritatingly long username and all.

old habits are hard to break

setting my mind to being here on a more active basis I am going through my old stash of lj and dw icons out of a sudden urgent need to be able to express myself through small pictures again.

I really hope icon making picks up again bc I have been in a lot of fandoms since 2014 and though I've tried, I'm just not that good at making icons :(

I also have to get used to writing my posts in my actual posts and not in the tags , the number of tags is finite self, and you need to treasure them (omg I'll be able to finds stuff again!)

It is March and that means podfic_bingo!

Record in a New Location	Random Fic	<10 Minutes Long	Use a Speed Effect	Fairy Tale
Altered States	Wild Card	No Editing	Sing	Naked
Restrained	Fluff	WILD CARD	Prompt	Read Animatedly
Fail (at) Sex	Gossip	Read Sexy	Dirty Talk	Breathplay
Consent Forms	Trans Character	Read Slowly (for you)	Incorporate Music	Stimulation

This is a little more on the nsfw side than my trope_bingo square but I can definitely see my self managing a row or two here. As for the rest we'll see, I can't remember ever reading a fic with a consent form for example.

I will also have to see what I'll do about the more nsfw stuff as I can't record most things like that, but I've worked around it before so we'll see if/how I'll push my boundaries on that one. And if all else fails I can always ask someone else if they'd be willing to record the sex scenes for me or perhaps do a collab.

Something that was kinda fun was that when I first read the mail I was newly awake and when I came to the square 'Naked' I just thought 'wait, should I be naked when I record or are the characters supposed to be naked? If Im naked how would that even alter the recording??? My mind was not connecting things at. all.

First up is a participation to trope_bingo , my goal is, of course, to get bingo! prompt list

AU: SPACE	AU: FAIRY TALE/ MYTH	SEX POLLEN	FAMOUS LANDMARK	CHARACTER IN DISTRESS
LOCKED IN	RARE PAIRS	UNREQUITED LOVE/PINING	MARRIAGE	CURTAIN FIC
ACCIDENTAL HERO	EXTORTION/ BLACKMAIL	FREE SPACE	AU: MUNDANE	HAPPY ENDING
SPANKING	GENDER SWAP	ANIMAL VERSION (OR HUMAN VERSION)	META FICTION	ALTERED STATES (OF THE MIND)
SHARING A BED	WING FIC	SUPERHERO	KISS	MONOCHROME

I'm a bit nervous as I've never finished a square in my life but I'll try my hardest this time!

it also took me 0.5 sec after I'd received my card to remember that I'm sex repulsed and can't record anything thats too intense and that I could have opted out of that sort of thing buy hey, it happens.
This square is giving me plenty to work with and should I need the 'spanking' or 'sex pollen' squares (I already have some Ideas for the 'fairytale' square on the top row) I'm 100% sure there's some low rated or fade to black fics out there I could use.
