bitesizedcleaningWe're a bit further into the second week of June than I intended but work days are long and relaxation time to post (or do my own bite-sizing) is brief. The focus this week is to turn attention to the nooks and crannies in the kitchen - is there a little used cupboard or drawer or maybe even just a shelf or windowsill that needs a bit of a clean and clear? Or maybe it's a time to clean the filter in above your stove if you had one or to clean the kettle or dishwasher out. Remember the job doesn't need to be huge, it just needs to be in one of those that get missed in the big clean, that little spot you always think 'I'll catch that later/next time'.
Enjoy what's left of your week.

Age group: 40s but rapidly heading towards 50s
Country: UK
Subscription/Access Policy: Public, at time of writing
Fannish Interests: Right now I'm mainly into Djo, Stranger Things (as my icon suggests, I'm having somewhat of a Joe Keery year), The Terror, Severance, and my attention to the MCU has been revived somewhat by Agatha All Along, Thunderbolts and (hopefully!) Fantastic Four.
I enjoy reading golden age detective fiction, fantasy, romance and historical non-fiction. I've written a small number of fics but am trying to get out of a block and write some more.
I've been a long time but mostly lurky presence in fannish spaces since the early 2000s, and can also be found as zan77 on tumblr
I like to post about: Not many posts on my dreamwidth yet but I'm hoping to use it to get back into the habit of longer posting.
About Me/Other Info: Outside of fandom I'm also an amateaur bellydancer and enjoy crochet. As I officially enter Fandom Old territory I've started to yearn for the old Livejournal style interactions of my youth! Hoping to find some like-minded souls to talk to.

Hello there!

Pronouns: He/Him
Age Group: I'm in my early 30s - please only add me if you're 20 or older!
Country: USA
Subscription/Access Policy: Very general fandom posts are public, whereas things that are access only are probably more along the lines of "mini-essay pondering a bigger subject through the lens of fandom" or a fanwork idea I'm not quite sure about yet, but what to share to a degree.
What I chat about: Fandom and hobbies are probably what I'll most frequently chat about, but I also love getting analytical and waxing philosophical about life - often through looking at fandom things. I find it fun, and my shared reflections tend to be more neutral-to-positive. When it comes to fandom specifics, I love writing fanfic and AUs, and exploring ideas for those, and a character deep-dive is one of my favorite things! I also just like sharing the enthusiasm I have for my favorite things, fandom or otherwise.
I'm looking to connect with people who: Want to talk and share their enthusiasm, too! I'm a chatterbox who really wants to extend his fannish social circle - I'm a househusband who sometimes ends up with a lot of free time and I'd love to spend more of it engaging in fun talk! I'm also looking to connect with people who are open-minded and accepting, and not interested in anti culture or other fandom discourse.
Main Fandoms: Pokemon has been my forever fandom, ever since Pokemania hit the States. I kind of fell off in the GBA/early DS era (Emerald and Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, specifically) but got back into it in a big way since and have never left. I'm mainly into the games, but I have a lot of fondness for the early seasons of the anime, and I've really been enjoying the new Pokemon Horizons series? I'm really behind on it, though. My other main fandoms are Disney Duck canons - a lot of 'em, but I'm especially fond of the 2017 DuckTales reboot, Darkwing Duck, and the various comics - and Fraggle Rock, which I discovered well after its time but I love - and now it has a reboot, too, and I also love that!
Other Fandoms: Delicious in Dungeon, In Stars and Time, Steven Universe, Dimension 20's Fantasy High, The Muppets, Sonic the Hedgehog (games, the movies, and the IDW comics - though I'm super behind on the comics), Zeddy Zi's Ramshackle, Lilo & Stitch, Tangled, Ratatouille, and a lot of other animated movies... Oh! And Phineas and Ferb is back and ngl, I'm kinda losing my mind over that. Such a fun show, I love its themes of creativity
What I create for Fandom: Fanfic! And occasionally icons, but mostly fic. I've really been getting back into it lately.
Other Hobbies: Reading, bracelet weaving, Dungeons & Dragons... I'm starting to get into art and I'm trying to get into cooking as more a hobby than housework. I also love collecting! Currently, I collect bookmarks and merch of Meowth from Pokemon.

Extolling the Brave Chivalry of Youth1
Before I met you, I was really just irritated.
I thought: "I want to change the world2,"
but though I lashed out, recklessly, I didn't actually believe I would be able to change anything.
When I lost my brother, it was like a heavy door had slammed shut behind me.
I wasn't going to let that go. I'd fight to the bitter end. There'd be no going back, I decided.
And then, someday, I'd die — just like my brother had.
To the end, Kouzuki Kallen would follow no leader, serve no master3.
Dimly, I'd thought that small, stubborn pride would be the end of me.
But then: like a morning star coming into view, you called for me4.
Whenever I was doing something for your sake, I felt lighter.
No battle was too difficult.
Whenever you directed us to a battlefield, I came running, wanting to be the first one there5.
I wanted to become a lion, to rip your enemies apart with my teeth.
To dirty myself with any amount of muck6, so long as it cleared the way for you.
It's strange, really, if you think about it.
It was supposed to be about loathing — and fighting against — Britannian despotism,
but before I knew it, I had all this personal loyalty to you7.
Hey, Lelouch.
That last moment we had together, with that kiss...
Well, if you'd said I love you8 back then, it wouldn't have mattered if it was a lie —
I still would have followed you all the way into your personal hell.
But you already knew that, didn't you?
Not very characteristic of you, was it.
Wasn't manipulating people by saying that sort of thing one of your talents...?
Yeah, that was so uncharacteristically... gentle.9
Is that what you were trying to say, when you told me to live on...?
Even though that sort of gentleness isn't at all why I fell for you10, heh11.

Swimming Upstream Into the Mouth of a Bear [Death Note]
Jun. 7th, 2025 12:26 pmpastelpom posting in anime_mangaFandom: Death Note
Author/Artist: pastelpom
Title: Swimming Upstream Into the Mouth of a Bear
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,346
Highlight for Warnings: *Suicide mention, death, canon typical misogyny, etc*
Disclaimer: This is a fanwork, I do not own the characters and no profit has been made from this work
Summary:
The world was not built for you. The world does nothing to accommodate you. Think of yourself like an insect evolved to resist pesticide - you grow in spite of, not because of, the narrative of the world. God's mighty hand inks you in the same way he would an extra in a crowd shot. Fuzzy, indistinct, vague.
You are tired of it.
Why not try something new?
A/N: a little meta thing about misa becoming aware of her place in the narrative :3 still tweaking things here and there but overall im happy with it!
