Snowflake Challenge: Day Seven

In your own space, create a love meme for yourself. Let people tell you how amazing and awesome and loveable you really are. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Surf the comments and find people to give love to.

This is hard for me. I'm generally a pretty reserved person, I write in tiny fandoms exclusively, and I've been gone from fandom for four years. The perfect storm. But jadesfire inspired me to do it anyway. ::brave face::

(no subject)

I woke up at 8 am, read a fic, decided I was too tired to exist, and went back to bed until 11 am. I am awake enough to exist now, but pants on my legs still seems like an impossible task.

I went to see Insidious: The Last Key yesterday. ( Some thoughts ... )

Huddle for Warmth wins for first square on my trope_bingo card. Rictor/Shatterstar of course, because I love these guys so much, and if I want more fic about them, I can be part of the solution.

My hockey teams won. Canada over Sweden, yay. And Senators over the Shorks and the Bolts. Two of these outcomes were very much unexpected; the third was a nice to have, but Sweden is also awesome, so I don't get particularly stressed out when they win instead.

My wayward Amazon package finally showed up. Which is good, except they definitely sent the wrong phone case, so I guess this means another few weeks of treating my phone like it is some sort of priceless artifact that I cannot break under any circumstances.

I just might spend the day alternating between writing and reading Hanzo/McCree fic.

About Me

Hello, and welcome to my Dreamwidth! My name is Tangerine (the R is there because I am always three days late to every new platform). I was also once known as Rhys.

You're welcome to subscribe or follow if something interests you (with or without commenting first -- feel free to just add!). I love fandom and people being fannish about things, regardless if we have any fandoms in common. I'm also incredibly susceptible to fannish suggestion, so if someone else is squeeing about something, I typically find myself sucked in and at least learn the basics. I can be found a few other places: Tangerine, atangeriner, tangeriner and tangherin3 on Discord.

A few of my favourite things:

• EarthMix - my current obsession. Love all their shows, fictional and non. Definitely consider myself part of Nameless fandom. They have 9 cats between them! What a gift!
• Asian BL dramas - I mostly stick to Thailand, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan for these, but tbh (and my MyDramaList would confirm this) I basically watch them all. Some particular favs: Blueming (South Korea), Ossan's Love/Ossan's Love Returns (Japan), We Best Love (Taiwan), Theory of Love (Thailand), Roommates of Poongduck 304 (South Korea), Plus&Minus (Taiwan), Love Mechanics (Thailand), Old Fashion Cupcake (Japan).
• Kpop - ATEEZ is my main group, with Yeosang as my bias and Wooyoung as my bias wrecker and Yunho as that guy always lurking in the background (typical Yunho), but I am OT8 through and through. I watch Wanteez obsessively as one does. Other groups I follow but not quite as obsessively: ZEROBASEONE.
• Rictor/Shatterstar - X-Force era, X-Factor era and anything in-between or after. New Mutants: Dead Souls, Shatterstar mini, give me all of it, Marvel.
• X-Men (Comics) - my life's ambition is to basically have a collection of all X-Men-related comics. I'm probably 60% of the way there. My X-Men fic tends to be comicverse, not movieverse, for this exact reason. Angel (and all his variations) is my favourite and has been for 25 years (!).
• Anime and Manga - My Hero Academia, Run with the Wind and Yona of the Dawn are the big ones for me right now, but this list tends to shift (Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, Yowamushi Pedal, Haiykuu!!, Natsume Yuujinchou, Yuri on Ice, etc.), and once I love something, I love it forever (i.e. Samurai Champloo, Inuyasha, Trigun, Gundam Wing, Weiß Kreuz, Naruto). I also read the manga for My Hero Academia and Yona of the Dawn and am mostly caught up. I also have an ongoing love affair with all things From Eroica with Love related.
• Dragon Age, especially Inquisition - I think I am on my seventh play-through.
• The Professionals - I am just getting into this, reading and watching. I at least know which one is which now.
• Hockey - This is a perpetual source of anguish for me, because my team is bad on multiple levels, and embarrasses me on the regular in new and unexpected ways (Senators). I would update this, but hey, still true, though at least they're entertaining now in their chaos (written in 2021, still applicable in 2025 -- why, hockey, why).
• Historical Romance Novels - Mary Balogh gives me life. And Lisa Kleypas. And Laura Kinsale. And KJ Charles.
