Association Meme, post 1

Association Meme: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

From shinyopals we have:
1. Lots of BSG posts, even if I've never even watched an episode! XD
2. That icon of yours - you always use it!
3. Doctor Who
4. D/R as well!
5. Making fanvids.


1. Lots of BSG posts, even if I've never even watched an episode! XD

Well I have been in a BSG mood lately, along with Heroes it's what currently gets reaction posts out of me. It's so screwy and cracked out (but not in the happy RTD crack way of Doctor Who) that it prompts me to make posts about it's insanity.

I've had a couple people try to get my into Lost recently and I inform them that I really don't need another show like this at the moment. Although seeing as I've survived BSG I think I can probably eventually handle Lost (seriously Lost doesn't take year+ breaks between seasons or half seasons).

I think a lot of people should give BSG a try but I get that it's not for everyone. It's seriously dark and depressing (but again, not in the 'ow my heart just shattered but oh my god Rusty is such an awesome storyteller way we know and...lovish). To call the mytharc convoluted is putting it nicely (we're four eps from the end and only parts of it make sense even now). And even though I have ships on the show, some I'm even passionate about, they're all frakked up.

On the plus side you can start using frak.

2. That icon of yours - you always use it!

This one! Well it's my default icon and I have yet to find anything better that serves as a general 'hey it's me' statement. Also, I do not have a large number of icon spaces so I use them sparingly so I'm hesitant to shake things up.

Also, pixy stix are the semi-official food of roleplayers in my group, and since that's my big, non fandom, hobby I like to put it out there.

3. Doctor Who

Well obviously. I'm pretty sure that's how we met. And (for now) it's still my favorite currently airing show*. I just don't talk about it much because it often feels like others have discussed most thing I could say and usually said them better of funnier than I would.

*I'm not sure what it will be once Moff takes over. I'll have to start saying 'RTD-Who is one of my favorite now over shows' or just deny all knowledge of Moff-Who and act like it doesn't exist when talking about Doctor Who.

4. D/R as well!

More to the point, yeah that's how we met I'm sure. Because Doctor/Rose is love forever and ever (much like RTD I'm saying "YOU CAN NOT HAS MY SHIP. MINE").

But I'm still working my way through Journey's End acceptance, this has also kept me from doing a lot of posting on the subject for...a while now I guess. I've gotten more accepting of most of the aspects but I still feel kind of...wronged by it. But on my journey to be at peace with it, I am finally able to watch season 3 of Farscape again, even though it's giving me idea of a couple of things RTD could or should have done that would have helped me out a lot (I think from the perspective of it not happening).

5. Making fanvids.

I may actually be disappointed if people don't associate me with that since it's my main fandom activity; well that and posting random thoughts on the subject. Okay I may be a positive enough person to say people just associate me more with other things instead of thinking people hate my vids but I'm iffy on being positive about that. (After saying that, to people who haven't responded to my 'Oh me' replies to this meme: you don't have to unless it's something you deeply associate with me.)

Vidding is more or less my one creative fandom outlet. I only write fanfic occasionally and I'm not a graphics person (mainly due to my lack of possessing/understanding anything more graphical than MS-Paint). And at least sometimes I use it the same way people do fic, to tell a story; I just do it with songs.

Definitely with you on the RTD/Moffat transition.

And tbh, I think I'm only able to be happy with JE because whenever I think too hard about it, I can retreat to my own little universe!

I definitely think you should post your DW thoughts more! Even if others talk about it more eloquently, that doesn't mean you shouldn't share your opinions with your flist! I'd want to read them!

I drunkenly complained about Moffat to my friends last night. They don't watch DW. But I also squeed about how they have to watch DW because RTD is a genius and he writes strong female characters and he created Captain Jack Harkness... I think my exact words about Jack were that RTD created a DW spinoff with the first very main character played by an openly gay man. And he's an omnisexual action hero! One of my friends was like "Was that the show with James Marsters and the kissing!" And, while he's never watched it, we squeed about the awesomeness of that.

I love how RTD and almost everyone involved in the show ship Doctor/Rose obsessively.

I love vidding too. I get stuck a lot and I'm insecure about all my videos, except like two, one because I think the timing and everything was flawless and the other because it got put up on this exclusive-ish Lost vidding site when they were rejecting almost every other Charlie/Claire video because way too many people were submitting them. Oddly, both are lost videos. Anyway, my problem is I think my vids are too generic and obvious and too similar to everyone else's, you know? And I lost almost all of the videos I made during my first year vidding thanks to the disc I saved them on getting scratched! And, then, some of my Farscape vids were burned to DVD but that's the one DVD that won't let me rip from it! I'm complaining way too much.

I have to go watch all your DW videos and comment about what I think. And I should upload some of my favorite videos of my own for my flist... Make like a master post or something. I'm too insecure to share most of them with anyone but I used to be a very prolific vidder.

I can't write fanfic and I make horrible graphics... But I understand exactly what you mean about vidding being your main creative outlet because it is really creative and, yeah, it's the one creative thing I can do, even if I don't do it that well... Yeah, now that I have a good internet connection, I'm off to procrastinate with the studying and upload a few of my favorite videos!
