Friends Only.

I used to be esrafil. I don't friend back by default, so you're better off leaving a comment if you want me to notice you've added me. I like meeting new people! I'm just easily distracted.

Fic is unlocked, unless it's a work-in-progress. I'll archive everything on AO3. I'm chiasmus over there, too.

The main fandom I have at the moment is X-Men: First Class. I have a lot of feelings about sports. #ladynerdjock

McKay/Sheppard will always, always have a special place in my heart, too.

Valete!

I was clearing out my memories, and for the sake of consolidation decided to make a post for these. I will likely regret doing this in the morning, but right now I'm driven by lack of sleep and it seems like a good idea. Please note that, more or less, most of these are a couple years old now.

I write such bizarre stories.

Dear Yuletide Author,

Thank you so, so, so much for writing for me! I guarantee I will effusively enjoy whatever you come up with for me. All of these fandoms are very dear to my heart and I am so excited.

This is a post full of feelings and pictures that I decided to spam pressdbtwnpages with and by extension everyone else.

Hilariously, a couple years ago when I was first getting into baseball, I was mildly biased against the idea of Buster Posey. Mostly because I don’t ship him and Lincecum and it felt like all the stories were about them (that people like writing them together isn’t a bad thing, but it’s personally frustrating when it seems like there’s so much), and I just didn’t care to find out who he was, and I hadn’t watched many Giants games mostly due to lack of access. It wasn’t like I hated him, but I was vaguely annoyed by him because he was hyped up and I was otherwise indifferent, except that I knew about his injury and how much it sucked (I think this about any player who gets hurt). OH HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

My BFF and I subscribed to MLB TV last year, started watching the Rockies because of Scutaro, who is one of her favorite players and I like him, too, then the Giants when they acquired him, and the rest just happened from there. The Red Sox are My Team, and I am fond of this current group of the Giants, but I don’t consider myself a Giants fan. I don’t have the same kind of connection to them as I do the Sox, but I adored their particular team dynamic last year and love quite a few of their players, so it is what it is.

That is all basically to say there are various things in my life that spiraled out of control and the feelings about Buster Posey is one of them.



Buster Posey, number 28, is one of the catchers for the San Francisco Giants. He has won NL Rookie of the Year, the Hank Aaron award, the NL batting title*, NL Comeback Player of the Year, NL MVP, the Silver Slugger, and, with his team, the World Series. Two times. He’s been called up since 2010 and spent the majority of 2011 out with an injury. One player does not make a team, but he’s not bad at the whole playing baseball thing. (This sings his accolades better than I did here, and what Posey means to the Giants.)

( Anyway.Collapse )

* Technically his teammate should have won the batting title, but Melky’s Miracle Milks caused a relatively low-key shitshow (he was caught using performance-enhancing drugs, inexplicably thought it was a good idea to make a fake website, ended up suspended a bunch of games, and the Giants unofficially dropped him like a hot potato, then officially, and now he’s a Blue Jay. I say it was low-key because I heard about it less than I heard about SEPTEMBER 2011 CHICKEN AND BEER, so my bar is slanted). Anyway, the important thing to remember about last year’s batting title is that Miguel Cabrera in the AL won the first Triple Crown since Yaz in 1967 and that was pretty cool.

These are all pictures I found via the Buster Posey tag on Tumblr. I know quite a few of them, particularly the gifs, came from the busterposy tumblr and a few from the timlincecum- tumblr, but if anyone wishes to be credited specifically I will readily do so! Most of the information included comes from articles linked within, commentating from games/sports shows, and Andrew Baggarly’s book about the 2010 Giants team. I had to resist making copious footnotes. THIS IS WHAT GRAD SCHOOL DOES TO YOU.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Buster Posey.

My brain decided to have a sad tonight, and I know some others are prone to having sad feels at the moment, too, so I decided to spam you all with pictures of McAvoy's face, because I absolutely fail at commenting on people's entries even though I read them. Plus, when I said I wanted cuddles, Allie wrote me cuddles, and I know she likes his face.

I figure at this point that everyone who has me friended either 1) is here because they share an appreciation of McAvoy's face, or 2) likes me enough to overlook my proclivity to post these things, or 3) akin to honey badger, don't care.

There is also Anne-Marie, because why wouldn't there be Anne-Marie?

Many of these I may have already posted to Tumblr, but I am sure if you follow me there and here, you can suffer through.

( Faces!Collapse )

I got a weird 404 error earlier, so I backed up everything to Dreamwidth in a fit of paranoia. If you want to add me there, my username is ionic, but I primarily stick to LJ and don't cross-post most of the time.

Noooooo, my phone just died. I can't harass Twitter anymore. :( Or look at McAvoy's face via Tumblr.

( Then I remembered I have over a hundred photos of him uploaded to LJ.Collapse )

In the chat room: stlkrchck, afrocurl, and  chiasmus. This week was Penelope! I was also obnoxiously drunk.

( I don't get it. What does that mean?Collapse )

( Have some pictures of McAvoy's face. It's such a good face.Collapse )

Previous pic spams: the first, the second, the third.

Today is a day that was irritating, and the worst kind of irritating, because it was my own fault. I'm edging towards one of those "I suck as a person and oh god why do people even like me" moods, so I'm going to spam you all with McAvoy's face. With bonus Anne-Marie.

( Faaaaaces.Collapse )

Maybe I'll just write mindless fluff or something (hah, when do I write anything other than that?), though with my present state of mind it would be like, Charles adopting ten hedgehogs named Martin Freeman. Well, not that, but you know. Something.

TWITTER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

BUT SERIOUSLY.

CHARLES XAVIER YOU GUYS. I AM GETTING MY FEELINGS ABOUT HIM EVERYWHERE TODAY.

This is stemmed from rewatching First Class with afrocurl and stlkrchck in which we had very many feelings that could not be contained in one Livejournal post.
