shirasade 🐘 @shirasade@fandom.ink

Quick update for my #introduction post: 38, female, Swiss 🇨🇭 , ace-aro (aegosexual), fandom old. Writer, vidder, giffer. Currently mainly into #jalec #stucky #guardian but also lots of other fandoms (mostly tv).

Came here after seeing posts on fandom-after-tumblr - really enjoying this place, especially because I never did fandom twitter.
I'm shirasade pretty much everywhere else - also Hubzilla (fandom.stopthatimp.net), previously LJ (deleted).

I'm kinda annoyed right now because I just came home from my GP. Already last year I had an infected gland or something under my left arm which had to be cut out, and now I've got another one on the right side. I'd been hoping it'd go away, but it's gotten bigger and hurts.
So I'm gonna have to go into hospital for another small surgery with full anesthesia. The third one in 5 months after 30+ years without. *headdesk*
At least my scars will match now?

Funny - I got a bunch of kudos on my one Umbrella Academy ficlet (written as a Yuletide treat in 2008), doubtlessly thanks to the tv show.

Just gotta know, by yantantether – 镇魂 | Guardian (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

'I'm not dumb,’ Zhao Yunlan says. He puts his right hand around Shen Wei's bicep, indulges his curiosity, squeezes gently. As he suspected, there's hard muscle under the rich fabric. Shen Wei hadn't been damaged by a fall from the roof,

(Love by Chance, Ae/Pete, 150 words)

So, my #podcast interview partner is having problems finding my next guest. If they don't by tonight - would anyone here be willing to talk about their #otp with me? Any #fandom, just no anime (bc I just did two anime episodes). #shippingcast

Please, if you ever catch me using any variation of the phrase "the male" or "the blonde" (or worse "the ravenette" - what even is that word?!), kick my ass. Also, calling grown men "boy".

I know slash fic has a pronoun problem, but there are so many alternatives. My rule of thumb is to find a phrase that suits the situation/relationship. Like, Jalec canonically call each other parabatai, and Jace might take note of Alec's height when he wants to climb him like a tree. ;)

It just occured to me that Ae from Love By Chance can totally be read as demisexual.

We know that he hasn't so much as kissed anyone and never shared Pond's interest in porn/masturbation. Pond's reaction when Ae confesses to being aroused makes it quite clear he's never shown sexual interest before that moment in the hotel room. By that point, he was most definitely emotionally involved already.

Yay, ace representation!

Helpless, by riventhorn – 镇魂 | Guardian (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

“I’m fine,” Shen Wei said. His head drooped, forehead coming to rest on Zhao Yunlan’s shoulder. “Yunlan.” And then, “Zhao Yunlan.”Zhao Yunlan sucked in a breath and stilled. He cupped one hand on the back of Shen Wei’s head and fumbled fo

#Fandom:Guardian #Pairing:ShenWei/ZhaoYunlan

Recorded the #podcast today - it was fun! We share a love not just of Sherlock Holmes but fandom in general and got sidetracked a few times. :)
Also, I committed another bl #drabble, this time for Love by Chance: https://archiveofourown.org/works/12574460/chapters/42066578
I can't help it, I find Ae and Pete utterly adorable. This is the image that spawned this:

Unfortunately Tin/Can becomes more of the focus in the second half of the season. And I'm totally ignoring the rapey/creepy tertiary pairings. (Except for the one het ship, which can stay. *g*) At least even as an established couple Ae/Pete continue to be lovely and make sticking this out worth my while.
General pet peeve of mine: why do most tv writers struggle so much writing established couples? It's like they think a relationship can only be interesting if there's cheating etc.

The secondary ship (Tin/Can - what is it with names on these Thai shows?) still does nothing for me, but one of them just had a hissy fit about their first kiss, all "these lips are just for big-boobed girls!", while sitting under a gigantic James Dean poster in his room. Made me chuckle.
Ae/Pete, on the other hand, continues to be refreshingly adorable - and for once their getting together wasn't drawn out. (Mainly because Ae is so straightforward, even when it comes to his emotions.)

BL of the day: Thai series Love by Chance. The main couple is utterly adorable and hitting all my buttons (protectiveness! lingering touches! cuteness overload! actual fricking communication!).
However, from AO3 I see that the secondary ship is more popular, which just goes to show that I'm *not* the typical audience - mean vs. childish just doesn't do it for me. I guess it all comes down to the age-old divide between friends-to-lovers and enemies-to-lovers. :)

The ghost couple is cute. I can't help but wonder if that happy moment isn't a sign that things are gonna get bad for them... (I'm kinda spoiled.)

Heh. Zhi Hong spilled the beans. And Zhao Yunlan gets jealous over Brother Chu's loyalty to BCE. I like it, though.

Yes, fake-doctor, Shen Wei is absolutely trying to steal your techniques.

And once again the episode ends in a weirdly abrupt way, practically mid-sentence.

Aww, Do Qing, you poor thing!

And yay, the boyfriend impressed the in-laws... Guo is so relieved. :)

Hong, so tricksy! And in so much trouble.

Yay, flower lady, I like her! Calling Zhao Yunlan a hunk. She's not wrong. :)

And shit, I love it when Shen Wei does BCE stuff in civilian garb... Apparently, so does Zhao Yunlan, even blind - calling him XIAO WEI, omg, kill me now. *melts*

Sister Hong's crush would be annoying on any other show, but here it serves as a nice motivator - and somehow manages to make the show even gayer, since it so clearly equates Shen Wei with her.

Oh, Shen Wei, you really shouldn't lie to your bae. Especially not so obviously, it's only gonna make him suspicious.

And more hand-holding. Have I mentioned that I love this blindness arc? :)

Sorry, but I don't care about Lin Jing being lonely - even if I could tell at first sight that the girl was a raven... Subtle, this show is not.

Zhao Yunlan putting up a front before his father. Definitely not gonna let him tell him who to date - I mean, be friends with. :) "He's good to me" - awww!
But I'm guessing no one knows about his dad's other side, except *maybe* Shen Wei.

Oooh, visions! And even more interesting: handgrabbing!

OMG, Guo brought Chu to his uncle's - is it Meet the Parents time already?! <3

Ooooh, history time! Kunlun mention! And will we ever find out why Damn Cat doesn't remember?
(Of course Shen Wei hasn't mentioned his Kunlun before... he's made of secrets, that one. Which in this case is fair enough.)

Aww, Shen Wei is so distracted, worrying for his bae!
