ATTF: friending time.  
Greetings, best bar on earth!!  Man I have missed this place. This time of year is always so crazy-busy, and there's always so much to get done that it seems to fly by in a kind of haze (I know I've pretty much been doing my own zombie walk just trying to make it through, and a huge shoutout to Bob for some much needed fic therapy; it's totally keeping my ass sane right now.)

But how goes it, y'all? [livejournal.com profile] shenshen77and I were talking the other day and she had mentioned that we hadn't had a good old-fashioned friending meme in a while, and I thought that sounded like a dandy idea. I also think we need a good impromptu dance party and a chance to chat and hang out with old friends and make new ones and just be our awesome selves.

So please come by and introduce yourself. Say a few words about how you found this place or this ship and what your interests are. Check out other people's comments. Feel free to stalk them (in a non-creepy and completely respectful way) and comment crash-- hell, this place was built on comment-crashing (you think I'm kidding but I'm not.) There is no form to fill out becuase I'm allergic to forms. Free jazz all the way, bb. ;)

ETA on the introductions: no need to go into detail on the personal stuff. share as much as you feel comfortable with. i always like being a little cautious on that front, this being the internets and all. <3

Pics, gifs, randomness, chitchat, melarkly, and general bedlam are always encouraged. I've missed you guys. <3

ALSO-- I'm posting a sign-up sheet in the comments for future ATTF posts. We have had some amazing guest hosts and I thank each and every one of you. Y'all are constantly raising the level of discourse (and squee) around here and it's awesome. So for anyone thinking about signing up-- don't be a stranger, m'kay?

And if you put a white female character with no powers. Well. People will burn the cinema down. Jeez. No one wants that kind of film. God people.

Yes, who would want to see that???? Totally unappealing, really...

Obvs. I mean, they'd really like to do a Black Widow (or a Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch etc.) movie, but there just isn't a market for it. White men are just so compelling, and it's not like there's an actress that can carry a Marvel film anyway. Amiright?

Completely stopping our sarcastic basing of Marvel and the film industry to say: A Black Panther film would be fucking badass.

And now I am going to show my ignorance. Captain Marvel is Carol Danvers right? With the blonde hair and lightning bolt top? She seems cool. And I know nothing about the Scarlet Witch other than she has a odd head piece. Ha. And everything I know about the Black Panther comes from Earth's Mightiest Heroes. :P

But what am I saying? No market. No market at all.

Yeah, the sarcasm was getting intense there for a bit. A Black Panther film would be freaking epic!

Captain Marvel is a bunch of different people. At the moment she's Carol Danvers and has an awesome well-drawn comic. As for her outfit, google is your friend. At the moment she has short blonde hair, pants and a star. At least I think so, I'm not really dialed into the comicsverse, I kind of pick up a comic here and there like a magpie.

Aah I think I know who Captian Marvel is right now. And I'm the same as you, magpie comic knowledge is all I have too. :)
