I did the big 80-question meme thing I've been seeing all over my reading page. It's after midnight and my mind is buzzing and I need something to distract myself, so!

[personal profile] svgurl gave me the letter "T".

Something I hate: Tomatoes. Hate 'em. Order all my burgers and sandwiches without them, can't eat salsa, ignore them on salads.

Something I love: Tea. To date I have over a hundred varieties, loose leaf and bagged, between two cabinets and a drawer in the kitchen. Drink it every single day.

Somewhere I have been: Tennessee. (Nashville and Murfreesboro, to be exact.)

Somewhere I would like to go: Trader Joe's, haha. Or, or, this amazing place in Little Tokyo called Two Hands Corndogs. Mmmmm. If this question is asking for somewhere I haven't been to yet, I'll pick Toronto. I love Canada, but only ever really got to see a really tiny, quaint little college town.

Someone I know: Tina, a friend I've had since high school.

Best Movie: Trick r' Treat. I watch it every Halloween night, without fail.

If you'd like to play ask me for a letter!

Southernmedicine's Door


DW username: [personal profile] southernmedicine

Light is on for: Anybody! Whether you're participating in [community profile] ficortreat or you're just scrolling on by and happen to see this, you're welcome to knock!

What's in the Bowl? Drabbles. This bowl has only one kind of treat in it: delicious little bite-sized individually wrapped 100-word morsels.

Let Me Know: A character or pairing (or a short list of characters or pairings for me to choose from) you like, what flavor you would prefer (mood/vibes), and some possible prompts or keywords if you've got any in mind. AUs and crossovers are also welcome!

Fandoms I can write: Star Wars (mostly the Jedi games and Ahsoka), Star Trek (mostly AOS and SNW), Good Omens, Marvel (it's a mixed bag honestly, and a big universe with about a billion characters, many I've written and MANY I haven't, but I'd prefer to stick to the MCU and related Disney+ shows, plus the prequel X-Men movies ranging from First Class to Dark Phoenix), The Boys, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (film). I've dabbled in other things too, like Game of Thrones, Animorphs, Bunnicula, Temeraire, His Dark Materials/daemon AU, and some others. You can request something not on this list, but it could end up being more of a trick than a treat in that case (I can make no guarantees as to the quality!). Since they are only drabbles I'm way more willing to take a crack at something less familiar to me! If I've mentioned it somewhere in my profile, it's probably a safe bet.

Other info: While October is my favorite month to participate in fun stuff, it's also a pretty busy month for me. I can't promise I'll get all your treats in your open pillow cases by Halloween, but I will try my hardest. Even if I don't post by then, you will receive your drabble, eventually. That is my personal guarantee to you.

I'll write pairings across the spectrum, so you're good for het, slash, femme-slash, OT3s/groups, or solo characters. I can and will provide spicy treats, but I choose to avoid noncon, extreme kinks (we all know the drill, if you frequently see it on Lists, assume it's on this one too), and sexual situations involving underaged characters. If you're honestly not sure, feel free to DM me and ask!

A meme what I stole from [personal profile] mxcatmoon: Fanfic Trope Ranking.

It was fun! I really do have a handful of pet tropes, while nearly everything sits somewhere in the middle because I rarely have very strong opinions on things.

southernmedicine: (chair)
I did this a second time because I love memes! So here's a Round 2 for anyone who might not have seen it the first time around, or if, like me, you just want to keep the good times rollin'.

Here's the deal:

1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation.
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed!

Interviewed by [personal profile] jayregee.

1. If you could kill off any fictional character, who would it be?

This one's tricky because characters that I really passionately dislike usually end up dying by the end of their story anyway, as their comeuppance. I do still harbor a lifelong hatred for almost every human character in the novel White Fang and definitely wanted them axed. Read it when I was really young and the horrific cruelty of men just really stuck with me.

2. Name an actor that you cannot watch any of their movies/TV shows?

I don't know. I don't really feel that strongly repelled by any actor. But I know you want something, so I'll cheat and give you musical artists instead! I can't listen to Blink 182 because they remind me SO strongly of my ex that I reflexively change the station every time they come on the radio. I also don't care for Smashing Pumpkins, which I know is a very unpopular opinion, because... I just have a hard time with Billy Corgan's voice, for some reason.

3. What is your favorite color?

Blue!

4. What song is your theme song?

One Headlight by The Wallflowers is my jam. I don't know how or when or why it happened, but I do know that it reminds me of a very specific period in my life that I still have very fond, vivid memories of when I was in my early to mid teens. It doesn't represent or describe me or anything, but I love it, and I feel close to it, and it's old enough now that it's a song that very rarely plays anywhere, so when it does it's always a "!!!" moment.

5. What subject did you HATE the most in school?

Me and math never got on. Still don't. Funny story: the only thing that kept me from getting my Associate's in community college and was the lynch pin in my decision to pursue trade school instead was the fact that I was going to have to take like three math classes in order to graduate. And I said oh, no, thank you.

Meme time! Questions from [personal profile] pianogurl330.

1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation.
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed!


1. What is your favorite ride or place to visit at Disney? My favorite place in Disneyland is Galaxy's Edge, hands down. Such incredible, loving detail, awesome merch, great characters roaming around, amazing food. I also have made really great memories there with My Person, so I'm quite biased. My favorite ride might be Indiana Jones, but Rise of the Resistance, Space Mountain, and Big Thunder are high up there as well.

2. What was the coolest or most fun vacation you have ever been on? Probably the solo trip I took to Egypt when I was twenty two. I tagged along with a tour group already in progress so that I didn't, like, get lost or die. But I saw... so many amazing things. I rode a camel. I went inside one of the Great Pyramids, and Tut's Tomb. I drifted down the Nile on a boat, photographing wild animals on the bank. I explored ruins, toured a mine, and experienced a bustling Cairo marketplace. In retrospect it was very risky, and considering the state of the world now I might hesitate to return. I definitely wouldn't go alone, again.

3. What is your favorite food/s? Curry! Japanese, Thai, Indian, Hawaiian, doesn't matter. Love them all.

4. If you could hang out with a character from a tv show or a movie, who would it be and what would you guys do? Oh, man, I don't know. There is an endless list of characters I'd love to meet, I'll just have to pluck one at random. How about Sabine Wren? She could show me some lightsaber moves, teach me how to shoot a blaster, and hopefully let me pet her loth-cat. We would gossip about Shin.

5. What is your favorite movie? Toss up between The Man From Uncle, the original Jurassic Park, and X-Men: First Class.
southernmedicine: (he can't believe)
It's 2:27am and for some reason, I spent the last hour reading through my old livejournal posts.

From 2002.

I try not to use the word 'cringe' too often, but hooooolllly shit I was c r i n g e at that age. Oh no. It is insane to see what a different person I was 20+ years ago. It sort of allows me more respect for the person I am now. How's that for a positive, uplifting suggestion? If you're feeling disappointed in yourself or unhappy about who you are and where you're at in life right now... go and take a peek at your past self.

I'm not officially doing the Fandom Snowflake Challenge, but I do like this one, so I'm just going to do it in an unofficial capacity:

This past week I finished season 2 of What If...?, season 8 of Queer Eye, and my re-watch of Ahsoka. I'm trying to get through both Andor and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, but it's slow going. I also watched The Marvels and Wonka which I actually liked quite a bit, and Wish, which I wasn't very impressed by given it was meant to be this huge, big-deal celebration of a movie to serve as the 100 year Disney milestone. It was just sort of meh, and a lot of people speculate that the script, or at least the songs, may have been written by AI.

I finished the Starfleet Academy graphic novel, and have started reading The Anxious Hearts Guide by Rikki Cloos.

A fun game I'm stealing. Do y'all still do memes and such here?

I can't create a fancy poll so basic text will have to do.

Comment if you think you know which one is a lie!

1) I was kidnapped when I was thirteen years old.

2) I am in the Guiness Book of World Records.

3) My sister is a two-time Silver Medal Olympian.

I have nothing important or intelligent to contribute to DW today except for this tweet a friend sent to me.

If you're into TOS/AOS Trek and especially if you like McKirk, please click it, because it made me giggle.

Happy New Year, everyone.

I am staying home because a) I am not one for parties, generally, b) I don't trust other people not to drive drunk or foolishly on this night, and c) It's raining, which means if I didn't trust people on the road before, I definitely don't now.

I'm having pizza, drinking the bottle of sparkling sake I picked up from a market in Little Tokyo last month, and writing up an exchange master letter with all of my fandoms, likes, and dislikes that I can just generally use for every exchange to save me the effort of having to fill out continuous requests. One and done!

In the meantime, I stole this "AO3 Wrapped" meme from [personal profile] mxcatmoon. It's not going to be very impressive on account of me only recently opening an AO3 account, but why not! I can compare next year's to this one and feel good about myself for all the progress I'm going to make.

30. What are some of the best things you have watched this year? I'm just looking for recs tbh. asked by Jenny form Discord

I've watched some pretty good stuff this year. Fun fact! I actually keep a log of everything I watch each year, so I can look back and see my... haha, accomplishment, I guess? Progress? It started in 2020 during lockdown, when I was stuck in the house for months and had very little to do other than knock things off my watch list, and I was curious as to how much stuff a person could watch when they had almost no day to day responsibilities. It stuck, so now I just continue to log everything.

TV Shows:

Abbott Elementary. Sweet, fun comedy in the style of The Office and Parks and Rec.
All Of Us Are Dead. Korean zombie series.
Barry. Very clever dark comedy.
Couples Therapy. Exactly what it says on the tin.
First Kill. Lesbians! Enemies to lovers trope!
Heartstopper. One of the sweetest things I've ever seen.
House of the Dragon. Healing the wounds Game of Thrones left behind.
I Love That For You. I'm not sure what the appeal was but I couldn't stop watching it.
A League of Their Own. I don't like baseball, but I loved this.
Our Flag Means Death. I mean???? Chef's kiss.
The Sandman. Absolutely beautiful.
The Serpent Queen. In the style of The Great, if you've ever seen that. About Catherine Medici.
She Hulk. The fanboy gatekeepers tried to keep this show down, but it's a fucking delight.
Uncoupled. NPH is a delight as always. Fun and introspective both.

Movies:

The 355. Pretty decent female-led spy/action movie.
The Black Phone. Solid creepy movie. Not "scary," but good.
Bullet Train. Good, stylish, funny action flick with some fun cameos.
Don't Worry Darling. I know it's become a meme, but I actually really liked it.
Everything, Everywhere, All The Time. I guarantee you've never seen anything like it.
Fresh. A ride for sure. I'm never dating again.
Good Luck To You, Leo Grande. Adventures in self esteem and acceptance.
Nope. Jordan Peele has never made a movie I didn't love.
Prey. Predator prequel, and very well done.

By no means an exhaustive list, but some of the gems I've found during this year.

And that's it, folks. AMA over. I'm kind of glad, actually. It was fun just babbling about stuff every day, but I was starting to feel bad about posting every day. I hope nobody felt spammed. Thanks to anyone to asked a question, and to anyone who read my answers!
southernmedicine: (annoy)
29. What are your top 5 OTPs of all time? Do they differ from your current top 5? asked by Brenna from Skype

I think my current Top 5 definitely differs from my All Time Top 5, yeah!

My current Top 5 include Jim Kirk/Leonard McCoy from Star Trek AOS, Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier from X-Men (the movies as well as the comics, actually!), Sirius Black and Remus Lupin from Harry Potter, Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop from Hawkeye, and Jim Moriarty and Sebastian Moran from BBC Sherlock. These are in no particular order.

If we're talking all time, I think Jack O'Neill and Daniel Jackson would have a spot, because they were one of my first and I shipped them for such a very long time. X-Men's Gambit and Rogue probably deserve a spot in there somewhere too. They're still perfect for each other, classic, among my firsts and a solid favorite, I just don't pay much attention to them these days. Rachel and Tobias from Animorphs are very OG as well. Now that I think about it, they might have been an OTP before even my first Sailormoon ship. Oh man.

So yeah, they definitely differ!

-

I! Am! So! Sick! Of! Ants!

They are back again and I'm getting ready to just burn the house down. The bitch of it is that my roommate had this enormous infestation upstairs yesterday. They were coming out of the bathroom tiles, swarming the shower, then forming a trail that went all along the ceiling and into his closet, where they swarmed again in his clothes hamper. No idea why they would do that. So we had the exterminator back today. But he did a terrible job. He was here for all of ten minutes, spraying quickly, leaving us a stack of traps to arrange, and completely missing the mark. There were whole-ass trails outside after he left, and also, they started emerging into the kitchen once he was gone. Not sure what he even succeeded in doing, but my roommate made a call and they are coming back again tomorrow.

It probably doesn't help that the heat came back with a vengeance. It was 102 degrees here today, and I am just overall d o n e, my dudes.

Slowly chipping away at some RP replies I owe, and will maybe finishing editing the first of my Halloween challenge fics tonight. Here's hoping.
southernmedicine: (like it is)
28. What characters have you roleplayed as? asked by Danny from Discord

Ahh, lots. A whole parade of OCs over the course of my RP career, for starters.

Jubilee from X-Men was one of my first canons, before I even knew what the word 'canon' meant. Schuldich from Weiss Kreuz. Rachel from Animorphs. Dean Winchester from Supernatural, Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, and Jim Moriarty from BBC Sherlock. Jack O'Neil and Daniel Jackson from Stargate: SG-1. Donna Noble from Doctor Who. Remus Lupin from Harry Potter. Derek Hale from Teen Wolf. Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto from, again, X-Men, though this time from the reboot/prequel movies. Illya Kuryakin and Gaby Teller from The Man From Uncle. Leonard McCoy from AOS Trek, of course, and recently I've also tried my hand vaguely at Jim Kirk and Gaila.

There are more, it's just that it's 2am and I can't remember them all at the moment.

-

It's hot again, and I'm not impressed. Tomorrow is supposed to be the last truly hot day before it cools back down again, and hopefully this time it stays down.

I went and saw Don't Worry Darling today, and while I was worried that the best part about it might be the hilarious behind-the-scenes discourse, I actually ended up liking it quite a bit! Florence Pugh really carried the hell out of that movie.

Afterward, I stopped at Trader Joe's and found a Black Tea & Boba ice cream, which is chef's kiss. Tastes like someone made me some black milk tea with boba and then stuck it in the freezer. Delicious.

I am in another slump. I have a ton of fics to work on. I have a bunch of RPs awaiting replies. But I simply cannot write at the moment, for whatever reason. Maybe the heat? Maybe I'm getting another case of the sads and am really needing my therapy appointment this week. Whatever the case, all I can bring myself to do is binge episodes of this pizza cooking competition I discovered called Best In Dough.

Hope you're all well!

Missed a day, whoops, and just barely. Guess I'll do two-for-one.

26. What five things would one place in a pentagram to summon you? aked by Maria from Facebook

I've seen this question make its rounds around social media, but I still love it because it's fun and interesting. I'll try to keep it things one might put in an actual summoning circle instead of naming silly things, but they'll still be relevant for reasons.

A crow feather, a moonstone, a coyote bone, a tea bag, and a vial of rain water.

(If I wasn't taking it seriously, I'd say, like, a funko pop, a succulent, a comic book, a pack of Reese's cups, and a pair of whimsical socks.)


27. What are some of your non-fannish intrests? asked by [personal profile] quailfence

It feels like all my interests are fannish, but that's only because I have a way of connecting everything I care about to a fandom somehow. Don't we all?

Trying to veer away from it, though, I love space (as a focus of science and as an aesthetic), animals, the occult, true crime, hockey, curling, figure skating, baking, swimming, dinosaurs and archaeology, theme parks, museums, mythology and folklore.

Thanks for asking!
southernmedicine: (a little rough)
25. What true crime podcast and/or book would you recommend? asked by [personal profile] pianogurl330

I like My Favorite Murder, Last Podcast on the Left, and Someone Knows Something for true crime.

Thanks for asking!

Wow, shortest answer all month, I think.

There's another heatwave. I'm not impressed. Honestly, I spent most of the weekend napping, so I have absolutely nothing to talk about. Oi.
southernmedicine: (chair)
24. Since I know you love horror and monsters, what are some of your fave monsters/supernatural creatures? asked by Bri from Discord

Excellent question! I am a ho for all things paranormal. Urban legends, mythology, ghost stories, monsters, give me all of it.

At the top of my list is werewolves, all day every day. I also love my homegirl Medusa.

Black shuck, kitsune, phoenix, lamia, harpies, siren, cerberus!

Thanks for asking, I just love supernatural things.
southernmedicine: (chair)
23. Who is your favourite character you cosplayed? Maybe even with pictures.:D asked by [personal profile] dr_zook

Hello! My cosplay resume list is insane, actually, so this is a hard one.

Quistis from FF8 will always hold a special place in my heart, because it was my first cosplay and it was actually pretty damned good, and I actually did look like her at the time so I got a lot of compliments. A few pictures of this exist, but as they were taken by a throw-away camera, I'd have to go digging around in scrapbooks and old photo boxes to try and find them. I might, for a Halloween post or something!

I really loved getting to cosplay Bones, though technically it was just a Halloween costume since I wore it for a Halloween party. For some reason, there aren't any pictures of this, but! I'm going to be revisiting it for Star Trek Las Vegas next summer, so there will be plenty then.

I loved cosplaying Ciel Phantomhive from Black Butler, because I went all out with all the details and it ended up turning out pretty well in my opinion. This one I can provide a couple of pictures of.

Under the cut!
