not friendslocked, but say hi anyway

[grassangel]

The Tumblr implosion is giving me hella anxiety, but please say hi if you're coming over here from there. (also, a lot of this is archived LJ entries from the mid-00s. I didn't do a brilliant job of crossposting from tumblr to here.)

if you wish to find me other places

AO3: grassangel
Pillowfort: grassangel

If you aren't from tumblr or another place I might recognise you, hi. I'm grassangel, sometimes know as Song of Storm and Fire or variations upon, or Chloe. I'm in my late 20s, am queer (ace/bi) and use she/her pronouns.
My subscription/access policy is that personal stuff, whinge/whine posts, and stuff I don't want getting bandied about the internet are generally locked. If I recognise you/you have brilliant opinions/we've been chatting a bit, I'll add you to the access list. Same goes for subscribing to you really as well, though due to the format if you're a high volume poster I'm not likely to.

I doubt if you've gotten this far if you are, but if you're a TERF/SWERF, other exclusionary forms of feminism, exclusionist/queerphobe, anti-shipper/fandom policer or in general a bigot of any stripe, do not follow me. I am not a person whose opinions you will enjoy and I have no tolerance for your opinions either.

Doctor Who is my current mainline fandom as is Good Omens, but MCU/Marvel comics and Sherlock Holmes (and related fandoms as AO3 puts it) also have the staying power. I've previously been in a bunch which includes Pacific Rim, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Discworld, Doctrine of Labyrinths, Fullmetal Alchemist, xxxHOLiC and X-Men: First Class. I'm a multi-shipper and a poly-shipper, so I will decline to list them all as there are too many to count. (But a selection does include: Doctor/TARDIS, Doctor/Master (any and all incarnations), Doctor/River Song, Bucky Barnes/Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers, Tony Stark/Pepper Potts/James "Rhodey" Rhodes, Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanoff, Lokane (Jane Foster/Loki), Sherlock Holmes/John Watson/Mary Morstan and Sherlock Holmes/Mary Morstan.)
I mostly write fic but sometimes I'll pull out the old Photoshop and make some gifs or edits. I will also occasionally make fsts.

Hi!

[grassangel]

Hi!

It's gonna be weird getting back into posting on journal sites like here or pillowfort again if tumblr does tumble

[zabbers]

Hi! I am so rusty at DW, despite constantly wishing for a different style of platform from tumblr's!

[grassangel]

Mmhmm. I've been mostly crossposting longer rambly thoughtstuff here. (As well as using it as a private journal.)

[circular_time]

I came over here from LJ in the mid-2000a, then Tumblr sucked me in because it's addictive, and now I'm dancing about saying, "Hurrah, more fans on Dreamwidth; maybe we can regenerate the type of community I miss that I haven't entirely found on Tumblr!"

Although the Tumblr fandom community for Who is quite good, and I'd hate to lose it. But I'm a Fandom Old, and I've seen many regenerations of fandom homes on the internet come and go. One always finds new companions, while not forgetting those that came before. ;)

[grassangel]

Hullo!

The Doctor Who fandom on Tumblr is quite good and friendly and lovely. (So's the twitter fandom really, but I find it harder to find and connect with people there.) I feel a bit cursed, since I've only really jumped into it this past year with series 10 reigniting my love for Doctor Who, and my previous forays into Who fandom came towards the end of LJ's life cycle in 2010/2011.

I'd gotten used to just tossing things into the tags though, and the care and deliberation that crossposting to communities comes with feels a bit much for me at the moment. Smalltext kind of works as psuedo-tags at least.

Hi!
Doctor Who is not my main fandom at the moment, but I'd like to keep in contact. Since I watch it on Netflix I'm usually at least one series behind. I don't mind spoilers now and then, but during a new series I usually avoid the fandom. Now I think I can come out of the woodwork again to enjoy occasional fic and meta.

[grassangel]

H'llo! I assume you're here from addme_fandom?
The most spoilery stuff I post is my reactions to the episodes (usually there's two of them, because of reasons) which I put under cuts.

[tentacleduck]

Yeah, I found your journal through addme_fandom. I bookmarked it to add you after the new years special, since I often cannot keep my curiosity in check and peek under cuts. Better to keep temptation as slim as possible.

[grassangel]

Oooh, yes, if you are that bad at avoiding temptation I can see why you waited.

(Also I see that we might also share an enjoyment of more obscure/rare MCU ships?)

[tentacleduck]

(Also I see that we might also share an enjoyment of more obscure/rare MCU ships?)
Concerning the MCU (and Marvel in general) I'm a shameless multishipper. But I definitely have some ideas/headcanons concerning Frigga/Nick Fury. What are your obscure ships?

[grassangel]

Well, I'm also a multishipper and polyshipper, so I tend to have a few fandom bicycles, mainly Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff.
My most obscure that isn't just a passing fancy would probably be Bucky/Fury. They both like soft black turtlenecks, and Fury definitely met him while he was in Europe. Obscure, but which I'm having a very hard job of convincing the main semi-obscure ship that it's just as great, is fem!Lokane (aka Jane Foster/Loki with a female or genderfluid Loki).

Also Frigga/Fury? That's definitely passed through my mind once or twice.

Hi! I'm coming over from Tumblr - I found you in the Fandom Addme, hope it's cool for me to subscribe!

[grassangel]

Hello! You're more than welcome to hang around, though I hope you understand I'll give you access only after I've gotten to know you a little better. (Although meep, have enough antis/terfs/others of their ilk really migrated over here to warrant a not welcome note? I feel like I might need to update this post)

[saintdionysus]

Yeah, of course, i defiantly understand! (and I've heard that there has been an increase in there numbers, after the tumblr purge - So it seemed like it might be important to let them know they're not welcome, better safe than sorry and all that!)

[schrodingers_time_lady]

I there! I have the feeling we've got a reasonable amount in common and I've seen you around on other friend's posts, so I figured I'd say hello!
