Giveaway!

Sometimes I am dumb and don’t have spending breaks, so I find myself with two copies of things because I forget what I ordered already… This means a giveaway though, so yay.

What you will be getting: Elite series figures of Rey and Poe Dameron from Star Wars The Force Awakens. The giveaway is for the boxed figures, the unboxed photo is of my copies for a better look :)

One winner, gets both figures. Don’t have to be following me, but you totally should because I’m a delight (not really true). One reblog per person so as to avoid spam. Giveaway ends on 15th January, please keep your ask box open and be ready to give me your address. I will ship internationally and there probably be a Star Wars surprise to go with the figures ;)

This is a beautiful pencil test by my friend Tina Nawrocki, you might know her from her work on the ‘Cuphead’ game. She is making a hand drawn animated short about a Polish mermaid called ‘Syrenka: Legend of the Warsaw Mermaid’. Hand drawn animation is very important to me - nothing else seems as magical as drawings that come to life! If you love hand drawn animation as much as I do, please consider supporting her crowdfunding campaign. Time is running out!

P.S. For people who are not 40 have not watched The X-Files, that other guy in the red speedo scene is Mulder’s new partner, the apparent woobie whom Mulder is a jerk to because he’s not Scully… but who later turns out to be a Secret Villain.

1 guess what the big slash ship was back then.

And the Secret Villain (with tragic backstory) kissed Mulder in one scene! In an angry non-romantic way but whooooo, the fic it generated.

olderthannetfic

Um, excuse me, you can’t just SAY that. The Youth need PICS!

(aka I am way too lazy to go find X-Files screencaps myself.)

thebkwyrm-blog-blog

It’s a SUPER DARK scene so the caps are awful - plus caps can’t get across just how startling it was to see Krycek pointing a handgun at Mulder, threatening his life, and then just….. lunge forward, and kiss Mulder on the cheek. Because this was 1998 and one of the most popular shows on TV and you just didn’t SEE THAT. So here’s a GIF instead.

It was such a cultural phenomenon even The Simpsons had their take on it:

Is it a good time to remind everyone this song exists

olderthannetfic

Heheheheheh.

This gets stuck in my head regularly.

shyloudpanda

Who wrote this song? Is it a fan song? It’s a serious fan song to have ALL those celebrities in on it. I’m in awe!

olderthannetfic

Bree Sharp.

There’s a wikipedia article.

Basically, somebody on the crew got sent the song, thought it was fucking hilarious, and ran around the Fox lot getting all the people who were there at the time to participate in what was essentially a prank for the set Christmas party—hence the really random selection of non-X-Files celebrities. It was just whomever was working with Fox right then.

So. Somehow. I honestly do not remember how. I was sent a VHS of a gag reel that had been put together by the crew for some cast party.

To my knowledge, the footage it contained had never been, or never was, publicly released. But someone had gotten ahold of a copy, perhaps from someone on the crew or at a con, and copies were distributed through a whisper network of message boards and email groups.

I carried it to England when I went to meet my internet pen pal/Fandom buddy, and we sent it off to be converted to the local standard.

It spread across Europe from there, and I got letters and emails for years thanking me for it.

One time my dad came to family dinner all excited “you know that show Sherlock? I hear fans are writing whole new stories for it online”

And in perfect unison my sister and I yelled “DAD NO!” So vehemently he stopped in his tracks.

Then a look of dawning comprehension on his face.

“Oh, this is like Kirk and Spock, isn’t it”

And I died right then and there.

My mom was into fanfic back when it was still all in handmade zines passed back and forth in-person. My mother is the one who first told me what fanfic was. My mother used to print her favorite fics out on our home printer and stick them on the shelf to read again later. My mom had an Ao3 account before I'd ever heard of Ao3.

Fanfic is not some new millennial/gen z thing that nobody over 35 knows about. It's really not that weird for middle-aged folks and elders to be into it. The folks who were writing Spirk fic in the 60s are, like. Still around.

dduane

Yes they are. And some of them have given me actual money to write for them!

It's an amazing world we live in. :)
