Musings During a Rainstorm
Sep. 24th, 2025 12:04 pmhaunted_cherriesHad quite a few people tell me today that I have an infectious laugh and give great hugs that make them feel safe and I have to say that knowing that I can leave the world a little better than I found it for at least a few people means a lot. ; u; 💕

The difference between good writing and good storytelling
Sep. 21st, 2025 02:34 pmshivverThis post is probably going to come off sounding really arrogant, so I'm warning you before you have a chance to click the cut. And if you read it and think that I'm totally off-base here, please let me know. I'd really like to hear why my opinion is wrong/not fair/conceited.

"Surprise!"
Sep. 19th, 2025 05:48 pmshivverTitle: "Surprise!"
Fandom(s): Doctor Who
Characters: Fifth Doctor, Vislor Turlough, Nyssa of Traken, Tegan Jovanka
Rating: G
Genre: General
Word Count: 734
Summary: The Doctor's about as good at repairing the TARDIS as he ever was.
Read it on AO3.
Author's Notes: I am cheating here. I've been working on a different fic but there's no way I'll have it done for posting this month, so I started looking in my WIPs for something small to quickly finish and post, and I found this. I know that I've posted it somewhere before, like for a prompt fest, but I can't figure out where, and it wasn't on AO3 or Teaspoon. So, I spent the last couple of days editing/revising and have now posted it officially.
I also had help. I'm here catsitting for my sister, and just now, as I was doing final edits, Rosie walked across the keyboard and deleted about ten paragraphs. She is an aggressive editor. Thank Bast for ctrl-Z.

maevedarcy has a huge list of questions to ask a fangirl. I am no girl, but the questions appear interesting.How did you first discover your main fandoms?
I may have told this story before. I was aware of Doctor Who, having watching bits and bobs of some episodes, but didn't really know what I was watching. While searching for Van Gogh documentaries on YouTube, a clip from Vincent and the Doctor sneaked in. That was the first time I had a name for the weird (affectionate) show. The rest is history.
As for Conrad Veidt, again, I was semi-aware after deciding that The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was a nice entryway to feature-length silent films. But it took years to learn more about him and get bonked on the head with the urge of "I must watch everything".
What was it about the fandom(s) that initially captured your interest?
Doctor Who: Time travel! Space! Aliens! Love and compassion!
Conrad Veidt: This man can do it all! He seems nice.
Can you recall a moment when you realized you were more than just a casual fan?
When you start non-stop drawing fanart, basically.
How has your interest in fandom evolved over time?
Doctor Whogrew until it stabilised, a few years ago. But it's still here, and will always be here.
Is there anyone in your life that shares your passion for fandom?
Nope.
How does your fandom inspire you in your everyday life?
More so my everyday life inspired my fandoms, if you think about it.
Does the fandom influence your personal style, hobbies, or interests?
The other way around.
Can you share a personal story related to your fandom that you cherish?
When I first joined Dreamwidth, I followed my favourite author, even if she hadn't updated in years. She sent me a message. I was chuffed to bits, even if it was a "hey I don't post here anymore, but thanks".
What valuable lessons have you learned from being part of fandom?
You can be as nice as you want, but that doesn't mean others will be in return. Don't bother with them.
Have you met any of your closest friends through a fandom?
Nope.
Are there any rituals or traditions you enjoy before new releases related to fandom?
No. I have yet to see the newest DW seasons. And the "new" releases of Connie material are not for us mere mortals.
If you could introduce someone new to fandom, how would you describe it to them.
Easy. There are a few newbies guides to DW, and Connie is just some guy.
Yay! An Assortment
Sep. 18th, 2025 07:52 amscifirenegadeFearless Frank on Youtube. William Russell is in it. It's age-restricted though ugh.
We got a free very fancy coffee machine.
I'm halfway through Judex, found a very HD copy. Musidora will never not be famous to me.
There's a fictional biography on Murnau called Nosferatu (of course) and Veidt is a character who describes his sexuality as "musical" and reads palms. Incredible.
Speaking of Herr Veidt, they fucked up his house in London (it's 69 Platts Lane if you want to see how it looks now).
classicfimex has one pinch hit. Also, they accept art treats! Hmmm...

Sep. 17th, 2025 09:09 pmhaunted_cherriesReferencing this post, but the ship manifesto I was talking about is actually coming along ok? I'm chipping away at it in between work stuff (since some of the work projects I'm on are keeping me busy as of late), but I even made a little graphic for it and everything (a smaller version of it at the bottom of my Pillowfort sidebar for the curious), and it's oddly hyping me up to work on it! Hoping I get to work on it again soon, we shall see!
Happy Wednesday, and hope everyone is hanging in there ok! ❤️ Thankfully the week is almost over as I'm looking forward to using the upcoming weekend to rest and reset. xD

Sep. 13th, 2025 03:24 pmscifirenegadeAfter binging Be Kind Rewind's 25/12 Days of Actress, I've become aware of Black Film Archive. What a great resource. The Symbol of the Unconquered is on there.
I was so caught up the other day by that Mubi guy's talking about Conrad Veidt's, erhm, weapon, that I missed the same man's exaggerated The Passing of the Third Floor Back review and a favourable, if unflattering to Walbrook review of The Student of Prague '35. A weird man.
