Remember when Andrew Lee Potts was a Huge Bloody Deal and everyone (including me) had this huge ass crush on him and he was on Primeval for a gazillion years and then just...kind of disappeared?

I mean I'm looking at his wiki page and he hasn't had a lot of luck.

BRING HIM BACK.

(god I miss primeval)

(it sort of seems like a small sf fandom thing and that genre fandom will never be that small and manageable again? am I talking crazy?)

Oh man, I have to find a new mood theme. This'll take hours.

My LJ theme was JGL but because I'm considering even updating my icons (from...around 2013 I wanna say?) I think I can find something fun and fitting.

Merlin would be fun.

Edit: Apparently I'm not rich enough to have a custom mood theme.

Really Just Wanted to Try It Out

astolat posted: SignalBoost bookmarklet

I thought figuring out how to use this bookmarklet would be difficult but
a) it's not
b) it seems like it'll be super handy for signal boosting and keeping track of important fandom meta

Edit: totally irrelevant to the post, but I turned off IP logging in comments because it was ruining the ~aesthetic~ and I hated it. the comment boxes still look to big and bulky too me but IDK what to do from here, maybe it's a theme issue

DEAR FANDOM, WHERE THE FUCK IS SKYSOLO

Seriously, this ship should be the biggest thing in the goddamn verse but it got ruined thanks to homophobia and property rights.

I mean, can you even imagine it? There's literally nothing more suited to billions of fics and fanvids. Like Obi Wan is in there in the beginning all "oh yes. this is familiar. Just like when I fell in love with your father," and Luke's like "what" and Obi Wan's all "nevermind HERE HAVE A MAGIC GLOWY SWORD"

and then leia's there and I know there's already a popular tumblr post about this but can you IMAGINE the those weeks on hoth with the hormones piled six inches higher than the snow and it's all sex force dreams and furtive glances and luke and leia think they're attracted to each other but they're actually just feeling each other's attraction to han

and han's all "por que no los dos" and luke and leia slap him at the same time and he's like "into it" and that's when they all kind of knew but no one knew that luke and leia were related

and he thinks leia is gonna be the hard one to persuade but it's actually luke. LUKE who until five minutes ago never had half an inch of a backbone is suddenly like "it's either just me or not at all" and then starts taunting him. making sure that han sees him working on the tie fighter whenever it's car wash day, announcing barely coded come ons during official on-the-record meetings, passing by whenever han and leia are loudly arguing and brushing past han just enough to be a problem

hell, when they were freezing to death in the taun-taun han probably tried to reassure him, "we've been in tight spots like this before" and luke mutters "I know of another tight spot" and han thinks back to the golden days when luke used to get nervous whenever han raised an eyebrow and tremble a bit at hand-holding with an 'aw shucks' grin

fandom, give me this pairing IT IS WAY PAST DUE
