Not doing many fanish things to the extent I used to. I don't really make graphics or vids anymore, my meta writing days are far fewer, and my fic writing days are pretty much non existent. I'm mostly on tumblr these days so I mostly like and reblog what other people do - so I still consume fandom, I just don't produce as much.
Mostly I hang out in the Captain Swan portion of the Once Upon a Time fandom. I'm also becoming weirdly obsessed with Black Sails right now, which is odd because it's a hit and miss show for me, but I just found out all the commenters on ONTD's Black Sails posts are very anti The Male Asshole That Everyone In Fandom Inexplicably Loves And Woobifies, so now I feel like I've found my people a bit, lol. Watching a lot of Marvel, and have been pretty impressed with a lot of Syfy's new shows (Killjoys and the Expanse especially) though nothing has quite hit BSG levels for me.
Black Sails was hit and miss for Mom and me in Season One, but we both agree it got good in Season Two and even better in Season Three. Dad is also into it.
Who is that? Is it Charles Vane? Just from watching the show, I couldn't have imagined anyone liking him, but then I heard online there were people who woobified him.
Both my parents love Agent Carter. That's another show we all watch together.
Can I ask what you like about Killjoys and The Expanse? We quit the former after the first episode and the latter after the first adbreak, because the dialogue and fights were cliched and the characters unengaging.
BS has definitely gotten better. And yes, Vane is the wooby that I'm constantly mystified by. Nothing against the actor who I think does a great job with what he's given, but the guy just makes me want to take a shower. He's been better this season though. I think giving him a storyline that has nothing to do with Eleanor helps - casting him as the romantic foil just doesn't work. He'll never be my favorite but at least I haven't wanted to throw my computer out the window when watching his scenes this season

Good! I don't remember how much I ever posted here about my real life changes, but I moved across the country, and after 6 months of unemployment and another year of a job I hated but needed to pay the bills, I now work in a small, locally owned, amazing chocolate shop, where I'm apprenticing as a chocolatier, and we're about to expand and put in a full kitchen to make baked goods and I get to do menu development and be the new bakery kitchen manager, so I'm feeling pretty high on life right now, lol.
Wow that sounds awesome! I'm glad you found a job you really like! I do think I remember you talking about moving at some point but I don't really remember anything about the job(s).
