June Something day 6

shadowhiveToday turned out to be a lazy day as I expected, though I did end up watching two films (we finished season 7 of Castle but I dozed off during it).
First was Raya And The Last Dragon, which I went in pretty much blind. I knew it was about the last dragon and I’d seen the Lego sets about it, which made me think it was based around a palace (which it’s not). So it was actually pretty good. I want a tuk tuk, they’re so cute. And is anyone get vibes for a Raya and that sword wielding princess? (And one of the last scenes made me think of the end of the first Guardians film)
After Castle, and as I mentioned dozing, we put on the next Potter film which is Order Of The Phoenix. It made me wonder, does anyone actually like Umbridge? I mean for pretty much everything, there’s people that like the villains, but I just don’t see anyone liking her. I think it’s to do with the fact that most villains are… well unrealistic. I mean that in the sense that we’re not going to have any experience with dark wizards or supervillains, but someone like Umbridge? I think we’ve all known someone like that and I think that’s what makes her scary.
Last night there was also Download Reloaded on Sky Arts which was good to watch. It was nice to see Linkin apart and I’m glad they played two songs from the set. What was most impressive to me from all the performances was the drummer of Parkway Drive, because his drum kit was in something like a hamster wheel. At first it just went from side to side but over the set it went all the way around which was impressive. There’s a second part tonight and I’m curious.
And the funny part? When I watched mum said ‘is this Coldplay?’ About Linkin park
Why are usb chargers so useless? There’s another one that seemed to be great and last night it went funny and.. ugh.
I did mean to watch or game something spooky, but I just went so… ugh. My eyes ached again and I’m not sure if it’s a side effect or because of the weather being so warm and ugh. But yeah I ended up just laying in the dark for a bit.
It’s been grey and wet this morning which is nice. Mum thought about me making cupcakes from a kit I got, but when I read the instructions it needed more fridge space than we have so that’ll be next week. It’s cause it’s a science kit, with these jelly balls on the top (it’s one of These)
And now onto the June something
Day 6: What's a fandom that you wish had a bigger following?
I do wish the welsh bands had a bigger following, but unfortunately they never seemed to and most have fragmented. I think Bullet For My Valentine is the only one still definitely active and even they have lost two members (including my boy Jay). As mentioned before I think almost all fic for Bullet and Jay exists because of me and… that’s sad,
I wish Set It Off had a bigger fandom ficwise, because there’s hardly anything there which is a shame. I wish there was more Good Charlotte fic too but then they seem to be inactive. I wish there was more stuff with Claudio from Coheed And Cambria too, because curls.
My post awhile back includes other pretty boys I’d like to see content for though I’m sure I missed someone.
While The Used has a lot of content in the tag, most is just Bert/Gerard stuff and I feel there should be more content with the band internally (because Bert has kissed them all so why isn’t there stuff with that).
I’m sure there’s something else too that my mind is just…. Blanking. I think there’s probably stuff I watch that I’d like to find more people interested in (even not just fic wise) but I honestly can’t think of what.

Date: 2021-06-06 01:55 pm (UTC)Longest fic I ever wrote and finished was in spn rpf (where there was a metric fuckton of fic), because it was post the season 2 episode with Sam being possessed and evil, and Jared Padalecki played it so well that it made me really want to read evil!Jared fic, and no fucker in fandom was writing it. I had no choice but to do it myself!
Right now, I am hankering for space pirates, or mafia fic. In any/all of my fandoms, because there is never enough good mafia fic.

Date: 2021-06-06 06:37 pm (UTC)That’s awesome that you wrote it! And yeah sometimes that’s what you’ve got to do and hope it inspires others (or other people are like ‘yes! I wanted to read that too!’) that makes me wanna watch supernatural to see it (I only saw the first few seasons)
Ohh space pirates sounds awesome, I’m not sure I’ve seen anything with that. I know someone did do a mafia roleplay fic for mcr back in the day (and im trying to remember if I did something, I seem to think I might have)

Date: 2021-06-07 12:41 pm (UTC)*laughs* It was ridiculous, and subsequently a lot of other people wrote it as well, but at the time, it was the only reason I signed up for the Big Bang - to make me finish it. And there was very much a "....um, really not sure how this is gonna go down with fandom" between me and my beta, because Jared was a manipulative, nasty bastard in it, and we really weren't sure what the reaction was gonna be. Shouldn't have been; predictably, a certain subset loved it, a LOT.
I fucking love space pirates. Because it's pirates, but IN SPACE! There's a DC author I found who seems to love it as well, and has really kicked off my hankering for more of it. Honestly, my love for space pirates is where that bloody Ray/Mikey space 'verse comes from (although they're more smugglers than pirates). Mafic fic, of course, hits all my danger kink and power dynamic buttons hard, so it's one of those links I'll always click on to see what's there. I should write more of it, really (I do, to be fair, have an idea brewing linked to one of those dialogue prompts...)

Date: 2021-06-07 01:07 pm (UTC)Oh that’s awesome that it led to other stuff! It sounds great 🖤
I do love those Ray/Mikey fics you did! I dunno if you read MCU stuff but just before I got this comment a I saw someone on twitter link this fic with the description ‘be gay do crimes in space’. I’ve not read it yet, but that sounds like it could be space pirates
Oh nice, I hope you get inspired to write one! Maybe I should do something with one.
Edit: it took me a few to find but I remembered this mafia style fic for tua

Date: 2021-06-07 05:07 pm (UTC)Because, like, it doesn't matter if you don't write them; it's just for fun!
Also, thank you. I have added both of those to my read later list (I'll hold off on the first one until the author has posted it all, since they're doing chapter-a-day)

And yay, glad I could help!

Date: 2021-06-06 07:28 pm (UTC)And wait - the bands from your other post are Welsh? Digging into our genealogy, I found out that I'm Welsh and have been trying to learn more and more. Wales is *definitely* on my visit list when things calm down.

Date: 2021-06-06 08:27 pm (UTC)From that post only Jay and Padge (from Bullet For My Valentine) and Rich (Funeral For A Friend) are welsh. Though there’s a few welsh bands I’ve been into other than them too.
Oh that’s awesome! I’d love to go back again because it’s so beautiful there. I’ve got a ring I always wear that I got from when I went as a kid
