Username(s): barkinmad (dw & lj), smooth-mccrimmonal (tumblr, main)
Timezone: EST

What's in your journal: lots of Chris Evans, classic Who, marvel, star wars, old hollywood, discourse, shitposting, misc, personal thoughts, it's a monster mash
What rating is your journal: I'm not super graphic but I don't hold back either
Interests/Hobbies outside of fandom: Film & TV, comics, baking, knitting, board games, general nerd stuff
Do you have a DW/LJ friending policy? Not really! I'm mostly on tumblr now but would love to rediscover fandom on other sites.

(Yeah, so I totally misread this section and should add that I'm mostly talking about my tumblr, and my DW is currently a barren wasteland. That will probably change, though, as I find fandom on here.

What you do in fandom (read/write/art/squee etc): Ages ago I wrote some things, I make fanmixes, I reblog a lot of art
How long you've been in the Marvel fandom: Six-ish years
Favorite Steve/Tony moment: There's a part of EMH where Tony is like, 'woah, you have a sense of humor?' and Steve's like, 'yeah, don't tell anyone.' IDK, I feel like I'm behind because all I ever see on my dash is Stucky.
Favorite Steve/Tony universe: 616, but also EMH a lot
Rec a Fanwork: I rec Last Love Song of Anthony E. Stark a lot because it's great and ironically one of the only fics I remember.

Other fandoms/ships you’re into: Really, really into Doctor Who - mostly Two and Jamie, Smallville, Gilmore Girls
Exciting fandom plans/What are you working on next? I just finished my first Steve/Tony mix! I previously made ones for them individually. One day I'm going to post chapter 2 of my 80s high school AU. One day. I'd also just like to get back in the habit with some drabbles. I'm kind of here to get inspired again.
Anything else you'd like to share (gif, pic, squee?):

If you like old Hollywood, you'd love A Fool's Name for Fate. I'm not sure if you already read that, though. And it's a WIP. BUT IT'S VERY, VERY GOOD, AND I WANT THE NEXT CHAPTER SO BADLY.

Last Love Song was one of the first fics I read when I got into the fandom and after all these years, it still sticks with me.

And oh, a '80s high school AU! I'm intrigued.

[barkinmad]

That is an AMAZING rec, thank you! Definitely starting it tonight.

And...yeah. That's basically how it happened for me too! It really is one of the classics.

Yeah so I decided Tony is actually an 80s punk kid at heart and Steve is the kindly jock and it's kind of like Pretty in Pink but not? It's silly and stupid and I only posted one chapter of it a few years ago.

[nostalgicatsea]

Enjoy!

And ohhhhhh, my weakness. I'll have to check it out!

[navaan]

Hi there, fellow Doctor Who and Smallville fan! :)

I love that EMH moment. It's just such a perfectly quiet bantering moment that shows off Steve's impish side a bit. XD

Friends?

[barkinmad]

Yay! I'm definitely going through a Smallville phase again right now!

Yeah, I haven't been able to get into AA because I was so heartbroken over EMH (I need to get over it, I know) and I felt like their relationship was so well defined and nuanced. I know that AA is more shippy, but I feel like their relationship in EMH was more real?

And yes! Of course!

[summerpipedream]

Ohh yay more Smallville fans!!! Also double cheers for Gilmore girls :D

I haven't gotten into EMH yet so I have no idea on that count, but a thing I love about AA is how upfront Steve and Tony are about their friendship and support for each other. I should definitely start EMH soon though, it would be interesting to see the comparison!

[barkinmad]

I've found the beginning of AA to be a struggle, tbh, because I think EMH trusts the audience way more, but it's clearly strong on the Steve/Tony front so I'll keep watching!

And yes, I'm a big Smallville fan and Gillie, I rewatch all the time! #teamjess

[summerpipedream]

#TeamJess always, especially after that revival finale!

[barkinmad]

IT BROKE ME INTO A MILLION PIECES AND I WILL NEVER RECOVER

JESSSSSS WHYYYYYYYYYY

[summerpipedream]

T____T

[navaan]

Oh, I wanted to go on a Smallville rewatch next.

It took me ages to get into AA for the same reason. And I still miss EMH so badly. I also miss Jan badly and much about the plot and structure of EMH was just made for me. ;_; Couldn't we have had both, damn it?

[barkinmad]

Oh my gosh, do it! It's all on Hulu and I'm just wrapping up the first season (again). It's kind of become my comfort show.

JAN. NOOOOOO. EMH made me love her so much and now I have to wait all the way until Ant-Man 2 for her. Uggggggggh. And yeah, I loved the slow build plots and character development of EMH way more, although I'm kind of starting to see the appeal of AA? I hope they stop repeating exposition all the time though.

[navaan]

I've fallen into AA now, but it took me ages to not be bitter about losing EMH. But they are so different in tone and I still miss what EMH did with reimaginging soem of the iconic team configurations and stories.

[magicasen]

It's a bit harder to see how snarky Steve can be in EMH, but it's definitely there! And jibrailis's writing is so good. That's one of the fics from back then that sticks with me, too.

[barkinmad]

It's literally all I know! Haha. Fandom kind of disappeared from my dash and I don't know why. There's a reason it's so well-loved though! And yeah, I thought EMH did a really good job with Steve's more subtle sense of humor.

[ishipallthings]

LOL, that just makes me wanna yell "TOUCH HIS BUTT, STEVE!!"

The Last Love Song is a classic and can never be recced enough.

Do you happen to have a link to your Steve/Tony mix? I love fanmixes :D And an 80s AU that's kind of like Pretty in Pink? *is also very intrigued*

Mind if I add you? :)

[barkinmad]

Of course you can add me!

...My file name for that photo may or may not be "touch the butt."

The (terrible) fanart for the mix is here and it's on spotify here!

[lou]

I almost made that recc because I love that fic so very much.

ohhh fanmixes! I love those, that is awesome. Can I add you?

[barkinmad]

It's a good fic!

And thank you, of course!

[lanidzac]

that tumblr text post made me laugh so hard hahaha

ALSO! Fanmixes :D That's so incredible!!! Love to see/listen to them sometimes!

[barkinmad]

I'm a constant sucker for text post memes. They never, ever overstay their welcome with me, even for fandoms I'm not even in.

And thank you! I'm working on making a dreamwidth masterpost of them because they're scattered all over 8tracks, spotify, and google play at this point and I'd love to have them all easily organized and accessible.
