How do you do, fellow kids

[jackironsides]

I’m newish to Dreamwidth, since although I once had a DW acct, and had an LJ for years before that, it’s now been so long that I feel like I’m here for the first time.

My tumblr url: jackironsides  (although I was delirieuse before that)

Other sites: sin_de_siecle . Hopefully I’ll be on pillowfort when they reopen for new accounts.

My fandoms: Rivers of London, The Adventure Zone, Critical Role (only campaign 2 so far – I’m behind!), McElroy shenanigans, Magnus Archives, The Penumbra Podcast, MCU, Check Please!, Star Wars, occasional Teen Wolf.

What kind of content I post: I ... don’t know yet? At the moment, a lot of text posts have been discussion of my transition, disability politics, and some Australian politics, but I used to post the occasional meta. I’m hoping to get back into fic writing. Oh, and I’ve been doing some CritRole liveblogs that I intend to keep doing. (But as I said, I’m massively behind.)

Access/commenting policies: I don’t really have one yet, though most of my posts have historically been public.

Where are you with Critical Role? Who's your favorite character? :)

[jackironsides]

I am so behind. My fatigue doesn’t help bc sometimes I just can’t focus for long periods.

Also I’ve been stuck on ep 26 for like a week because I was spoiled for That Thing Which Happens and I’m dreading watching it unfold.
(I’ve not watched campaign one past the first two eps bc I got into CR just before campaign 2 started.)

Molly and Caleb are my two faves so far.

[schneefink]

Yeah, the episodes are pretty long.

If it helps, I hated That Thing when it happened, but I really loved what&who came after that.

[jackironsides]

I keep getting spoiled for big and little plot points (though I guess I probs won’t now I’m not really on tumblr!), so I am very much looking forward to meeting that Who and seeing what comes after this.

I’ve got about an hour left in e26, and hopefully I’ll be able to pick the pace up again soon, though I may need to wait to binge until I’m not at my folks’ for Christmas.

Any fave pairings or fics from MCU? I'm relatively new to the MCU fandom so I'm still looking for fics to read and people to friend

[jackironsides]

I read both MCU and comics fic, I admit. I mostly read Steve/Tony and Bucky/Steve, plus Clint/Phil and, if you consider the Netflix shows to be part of the MCU, Matt/Foggy.

I’ve especially loved identity porn fics, and Sineala has done a couple of spectacular ones.

[mephestopheles]

Oh excellent! I fell into the lovely dynamics of the ships around Tony Steve and Bucky and all the ways those three play off each other. I had never considered Phil/Clint but they'd have history and some interesting dynamics of their own.

I will definitely have to check Sineala out, I love the exploration of identity porn the ways in which their public and private personas collide.

[jackironsides]

I could link you some of my faves if you wanted! Although I don't know how much you've read; I'd hate to be all "well, you MUST read Copperbadge" if you have (like me) read most of his back catalogue.
(If you haven't already, read 'Love Among the Hydrothermal Vents' by DevilDoll. That's always been a steve/tony comfort read for me.)

[mephestopheles]

Whenever you have a chance that would be awesome. I've heard of copperbadge but haven't read anything by him. I'm super new to most of the fandom and fic.

The devildoll fic is being bookmarked immediately

[jackironsides]

I swear this is on the backburner (unless I forget, in which case, feel free to leave me a comment somewhere reminding me) until I get home from visiting my parents, but I just read this phenomenal Steve/Tony fic. I don't know what your personal fave tropes are, but this is a beautiful touch-starved Tony from Steve's perspective:

That is massively useful, thanks!

just starting to get into podcasts

[auresse]

still figuring out the best system/set up for myself. I noticed in the comments, you mentioned Big Fatigue in your life - I'm hoping to connect with other folks who live with chronic conditions. Mind if I subscribe?

Re: just starting to get into podcasts

[jackironsides]

Absolutely! I need to rebuild a spoonie community here like I had on tumblr.

[falena]

Hi, I'm trawling the comm looking for RoL fans. I am not one to usually post meta in my journal, but I'm desperate to have RoL fans to squee with. I'm going to subscribe to your journal, if you don't mind.
Mine is mostly locked but I grant access to everyone who asks.

[jackironsides]

Please do! I've just got Lies Sleeping for Christmas, so I'm looking to get into that once I'm home (and I've finished my self-imposed Critical Role marathon in preparation for the next episode).

[falena]

I'm very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it.
