I wrote about one of my favorite toxic, manipulative fictional relationships: Alex and Roger from Tamora Pierce's Tortall series.
I shared a snippet of my notes from library school, which retroactively became very funny when I started contributing to a vampire AU about office politics years later.
I wrote about why I was obsessed with Unico in the Island of Magic, a movie that I previously mentioned in this entry.
At some point last year, I told a couple of my co-workers about Unico during a conversation about favorite anime, and one of them immediately started looking up pictures on his phone.
Him: "Oh, this guy has a flute."
Me: "That's Toby, he's the villain's tormented apprentice."
Him: "That's... an awakening."
Me: "You get me."

In honor of the upcoming Nerd Holiday (Sunday, May the Fourth Be With Us!), I shared some of my feelings about Star Wars. (To paraphrase Carrie Fisher, I probably had least five feelings - sometimes as many as seven.)
I wrote about the intersection of my shipping obsession and my music obsession in the early 2000s.
Until the concert in question, I did not actually know that "Savage Garden" was a reference to Anne Rice (I think that either Elle or my housemate pointed that out), so hearing the phrase in the recent Interview With The Vampire series was sort of a reverse "I understood that reference!" moment.

I turned 40 yesterday (that's as many as four tens!), so I wrote a message to my 16-year-old fangirl self, who was deep in an obsession with the X-Men but very worried that she'd have to give up all fannish activities when she finished high school and started college. I'm so glad that I didn't. So, so glad.
I could also have told her, "you don't actually hate Charles Xavier as much as you think you do," but I'm pretty sure that other people did try to tell me that, and I didn't listen.

I shared a snippet from one of my many attempts to explore the X-Men universe through original characters.
I recently showed the first two movies to Artie, and they started talking immediately afterward about a fic that I really hope they decide to write.
I hope to devote a more thoughtful Throwback Thursday post to the early movieverse when we hit the 25th anniversary of X1 in July.

I shared some of my feelings about the fifth and final season of The Magnus Archives, which I've been wanting to write about for a long time.
In light of her actress's recent and untimely passing, I wrote about my appreciation for Dawn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I shared some of my teenage attempts to catalog the trope of The Ignorant Masses - and the use of memory erasure to ensure their ignorance - in speculative fiction.
Consider yourselves warned that this post is long, and also discusses Harry Potter a lot, although I talk about other media, too.

I shared a piece of self-insert fanart about a cartoon about which I obviously had fond feelings when I was little, even though I don't remember watching it regularly.
I shared a draft of a fic that I wrote for Gargoyles, the first show that I ever watched at Cartoon Night.
I shared a fragment of a Young Justice fic that I started once upon a time but never continued, although the premise still appeals to me very much.
I shared a list of the story ideas that I generated for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ladiesbingo several ago, as well as what I eventually did with some of them.

I wrote about the Dark Lord Fred, the subject of my not-quite-fanfiction as a young teenager, which inevitably owed a lot to the Harry Potter books. In the process, I rediscovered a throwaway scene that gave me more Feelings than I expected.
