What's in your journal: Nothing! I expect the trend to continue for the foreseeable future, since I'm mostly here to comment on posts.
What rating is your journal: If I start posting someday, I suppose there will be a few adult-only posts.
Interests/Hobbies outside of fandom: I'm only an amateur, but I have an interest in languages, design, and coding. I'm also fond of reading non-fiction books, even if I love fiction. I go back to anime/manga and K-dramas from time to time.
Do you have a DW/LJ friending policy? Not really, except that I usually add someone once we have interacted for a bit. Coupled with the fact that I don't plan to post anything any soon, I wouldn't quite consider this a friending meme but an introduction meme. Sort of a Hi, my name is Inigo Montoya thing. Feel free to say hello, however!

What you do in fandom (read/write/art/squee/etc.): All of it, albeit in different degrees. I also make gifs.
How long you've been in the Marvel fandom: Since last year.
Favorite Steve/Tony moment: AoU BTS The Confession and Casualties of War are everything, but I'm actually going to pick the hug in The Age of Tony Stark.
Favorite Steve/Tony universe: Calling the MCU my favorite universe seems odd, but no matter how often it makes me mad, it's still the one I think about the most. Avengers Assemble comes second, and this one I do love with all my heart. I'm also incredibly fond of 1872. And well, I'm still making my way through 616.
Rec a Fanwork: Moon by phenominable_snowman, one of my favorite 616 fics.

Other fandoms/ships you’re into: I do entertain the idea of other ships here and there when it comes to Marvel, but I'm not that invested in them. Other than Marvel, I'm also in the (peripheries of the) Hetalia fandom. I'm into more things, but they're either past loves or nothing I'm active in.
Exciting fandom plans/What are you working on next? It's a good thing I made a post about it a while back.
Anything else you'd like to share (gif, pic, squee?): Nothing at the moment. This took a while to type, so I'm afraid I have no energy left. :')

I just want to say hello and share the fact that I spent my Golden Years(TM) in the APH fandom and boy, what a ride.

[erdesque]

Hi! :D Oh Lord, what a ride describes perfectly the APH experience. I have no clue what the English-speaking fandom is doing nowadays, but I had my share of fun back in the good ol' days.

[kasdelav]

It seems kind of... dead? It's been a while for me because I jumped from the main APH fandom to Latin American one with all the cute OCs and forgot my days of scrolling through the aphanon_meme.

[erdesque]

Yeah, the frequency of LJ posts slowed considerably at some point, but judging by the number of notes that the scanlation posts get on Tumblr, I would say it still lives somehow. The amount of fanart I see in Pixiv is not the same as before either, but some artists remain devoted to the cause. :)

*spots Unshattered on currently working on* Hi, I'll just wait here patiently for the next chapter :D

[erdesque]

Ah, thank you! I hope it doesn't disappoint. ;)

[lil_shepherd]

Hi! Just touching base here because we have only interacted previously when I have commented on some of your fic.

[erdesque]

Hi! And thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. :)

You picked the hug in The Age of Tony Stark! That's one of my top favorite Steve/Tony moments--well, that entire episode is. SO CUTE! Did you ever see rado's art of it? I want more kid Tony stuff.

"Calling the MCU my favorite universe seems odd, but no matter how often it makes me mad, it's still the one I think about the most." You put my feelings into words.

And phen's such a great writer. I finally read Moon a month or two ago and loved it, and I wish she still was active in the fandom...but I remember her saying that she's going to stop writing in general for the most part, and not just for Marvel iirc. :(

[erdesque]

The funny thing is that usually I'm not interested in de-aging as a trope, but the whole episode is full of feels. Tony going through a short rebel teen phase before he becomes even younger and asks for help, the scene when he goes through some mementos from his childhood, the way Steve is all heart eyes at how smart kid!Tony is, everything leading up to the hug, Tony's soft look after he goes back to normal, and how they share a moment at the very end! It's my favorite AA episode, to be honest. And no, I don't think I've seen the art?

The MCU can be especially frustrating because there was so much potential! I'm shaking my head as we speak.

Aw, I didn't know about that. :( I did notice that her fics are currently under restricted access, so I guess it has to do with that.

[nostalgicatsea]

YES! UGH THE TONY FEELS. It's my favorite AA episode too! It's just so cute.

Here's the art!

[erdesque]

Aw, that's lovely!

[magicasen]

AA is love <3 for all we joke about how shippy they are in AA, it really can bring the feels, and that hug was one of those moments! Oh, and I really like your edits!

[erdesque]

I know! It always blows my mind how incredibly fond they are of each other. A pure universe where they're allowed to be close friends who make each other better. I'm emotional.

And thank you! :)

[ishipallthings]

MCU is definitely the universe we think about the most, even if a lot of it is ranting *glares at canon*

[erdesque]

I feel like our friendship was born in part thanks to our shared grievances about CW. :')

[lanidzac]

Hello!!! :')

It's so cool that you have an interest in languages, design, and coding. Those are pretty amazing topics to be into. Coding @___@

(tbh aou BTS was the best)

ALSO GOOD LUCK WITH ALL YOUR FANDOM PLANS!!!!

[erdesque]

Hi~!

It's always my intention to be a jack of all trades, master of nothing at all. :')

(I swear those few seconds give me so much life.)

AH, THANK YOU! :D

[cookiestome]

Hello!! I'm just dropping by to say that I loved "last train home", we need all the fix-its possible for cacw T_T.

[erdesque]

Thank you! I'm happy to hear you liked the fic. :) And I know! The boys need all the fix-its and happy endings they can get.

[lou]

that's a bit to do list! best of luck with everything! :)

[erdesque]

Thank you so much! :D

[cr3v]

I think I spam your tumblr on a random basis with reblogs of edits 😳.

[erdesque]

Haha, it's quite okay, don't worry! I'm glad that you find those posts interesting. :)
