Day 2: In your own space, talk about your fannish origin story.

we could always start by talking about my fixation with watching fanmade sonic the hedgehog videos, but what i consider my true fannish origin started with inazuma eleven and in particular this freak right here. one day i stumbled upon a tobitaka-centric fanfic on ff.net and it was all over for me. i think i also read some katekyo hitman reborn! fic and pokémon fic around the same time. my first taste of "x reader" fic was with the maze runner films, and it's for that reason i can't be so totally mad at that specific flavor of self-insert fic even if i get annoyed that it clogs up tumblr tags of certain media (kpop. i mean kpop).

re: actually creating some of my own fanmade stuff, i got my start by posting fanart on the seventeen subreddit.

Day 4: Since this is the start of a new year, this challenge will be to set your own goals! Of course we can all make large or ambitious goals, remember that small and/or short goals are also good!

1. be more in tune with my body - last year i would say was the start of me attempting to shed the label of "horrible at anything physical, why try" in earnest. i'd like to continue that this year! especially since i've learned how to bike, and am very, very slowly venturing out and expanding my palate (make no mistake i still have the sensitivities of a picky eater and i am made fun of accordingly by my peers, but what i can or cannot do should not be dictated by people who don't know the full story).
2. be more of myself - unapologetically!
3. do whatever - for the most part arbitrary rules pervade how i do things. because of this, i admittedly have a little trouble with doing even the most benign, mundane activities without feeling like i'm committing some sort of misdeed. something to work on, and sort of intrinsically connected to goal #2.
