fandom flashback

[kirinn]

Hello LJ! I haven't posted here in ages (partly due to spending too much time keeping up with reading other social networking sites, which could make for a post in and of itself). There are like three or four in-depth posts I've been meaning to make for months, but this is none of those posts. Instead, as I was catching up on over a week's worth

Oh man, Enne is playing through FFXIII (someone was selling a used 360 copy for 15 bucks so why not?), and just got to the part where I thought "wait, Fang and Vanille are totally a couple, right?" Glad I'm not the only one thinking that.

I've been avoiding getting a tumblr because it looks like the BIGGEST TIMESINK ever. I follow quite a few but think I'd get sucked in to a ridiculous degree if I made one myself.
It turns out that there are TONS of amazing Mass Effect fanart tumblrs, so I'm kind of doomed already.

Yeah, it is basically tailor-made for paging through fan art and/or porn until you fall asleep. Not healthy at all.

Random tumblr-surfing can be pretty evil, yeah, but it's not like there haven't always even plenty of ways to do that on the internet. And it is scary the extent to which some kids I've come across live on tumblr to the tune of hundreds if reposts per day.
But I'd I keep my follow list to people with sane post rates it's not so bad. And I only post a few thing a day myself.

Wait till y'all get to the end. That's all I'll say about that.

I am also intrigued by this Fang/Vanille pairing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

(And..."gender (preference)"? Is that question trying to ask for gender identity or sexual orientation, or maybe both at the same time? What a weird way to word something.)

I'm pretty sure it's just a standard gender line with the little disclaimer reassuring people that they should put down however they self-identify. At least, that seems to be how everyone else answered it.
