HI!

In honour of Thor, I bring you thunder fish facts!
I'm wearing an Imzy shirt! \o/ What good communities did you join today?

Exquisite.
We're so close to 1000! \o/ Nonnies of fandom assemble!
:happy:
FFS
Are they even all nonnies? I assumed at least some of them were confused new users who had the comm pop up on the suggested comma list...
The "Are you a nonnie?" poll a few days back had 97 respondents, of whom only 5 admitted to being newbies, so either we do actually have a pretty high percentage of nonnies, most of our newbies are quietly lurking, or they just can't resist an opportunity to claim to be velociraptors or Doctor Doom. (In which case they'll fit right in.)
That said, in the last day or I've seen an influx of recognisable LJ/DW/OTW names who I don't think are necessarily memers, so I assume word is spreading through namespace somehow and we're coming to fannish folks' attention as the hub of fandom activity on the site. (Per the Discover tab we're now actually the third most active community on here, and a takeover of Polls may not be far behind, so I think we've officially claimed this land in the name of FFA and fandom. 🚩 🐧)
Can we pin that post up for a better exposure? I really want to know how many newbies and how many Dooms and velociraptors we have
who are willing to take polls.Finally finished one of the Rare Pairs pinch hits I've been working on last night. \o/ One down, one to go.
Ooh, congrats nonny! I'm hoping to finish a treat before reveals.
Thanks! I'm really glad to have that one done. :D
Lord is it obvious when the Reddit people post to the main comm.
What happens when the tumblr crowd come too? Reddit vs tumblr fighting it out with musical numbers with FFA as Switzerland? Will they eventually fall in love and have tiny Imzy babies? What even would the love child of a Reddit/tumblr hookup look like?
The anti-christ.
All shall look upon it and despair.
Well, they would be true citizens of imzy, see that imzy is the somehow functional lovechild of tumblr and reddit.
I wish I could nominate this for post title.
So how tall is Tony Stark?j/kActually I was trying to figure that out and I found this screencap:
And instead of finding a good size comparison, I just want to know... where the fuck are Tony's legs? Is this why we don't know how tall he is? Because he has detachable legs?
(Also I feel bad about hotlinking but how do I paste an image onto the text editor on mobile?)
I feel vindicated in not knowing Tony Stark was supposed to be taller than RDJ now. Tony, you have no legs.
Come at me bro"Tony" the paramedic said softly their eyes meeting briefly, "you don't have any legs."
Maybe he has.... HOOKS FOR LEGS
My Imzy feed is getting kind of busy! It's simultaneously really heartening to see and actually a little bit annoying.I joined lots of quiet little comms to try and be encouraging, and suddenly there's all this stuff being posted and I have to hunt back to find the posts I was looking at earlier. I think I've kind of got used to my LJ flist being nicely and manageably near-dead.
I think some people may have been taking some of the invite codes I've posted (either on meme or elsewhere) without saying which ones they took. Not 100% sure, but I've gotten more a few more invite acceptances than "Hey, I took [code]!" replies.
IDK, I just want to be able to mark the claimed ones off my list. 😐
That happened to me too, but at least I got a t-shirt out of it. (Seriously, not a single person commented and said they took a code, but eight were accepted)
If that's the case I'll post some too. I hadn't because I assumed there were a ton to go around.
Ugh. But at least you got a shirt out of it! (I won my shirt something like two weeks ago, so I'm probably not going to get another one.)
I take it we can't comment on the milestone posts? I wanted to write something about assimilation and 🐂 💩 🐧.
I tried too but apparently you can't. The message you get when you try is kinda weird tho.
Did it tell you you weren't a member of the community?
It works for me. Probably anon-community trying to comment on a no-anon-allowed post issue.
You should report it. Or I can. Either way.
If you wouldn't mind...? 🐙
I'm looking into this right now! Sorry all. @Id_Drip just notified me and let me know about the issue.
I really want this to be fixed by the time we get to 2000 (I believe in this snowball community).
I need to be able to make puns, okay. I need it.
While this community is growing quite quick, I'm totally sure we'll have this fixed before you hit 2000. I'm just not sure we'll be able to fix it in the next hour.
Hmm, I've also thought about throwing some codes on tumblr and just seeing what happens.
I'm excited to see so many familiar names creating new personal blogs! Yay, fandom!

WE HAVE EMOTICONS? Is there a master list somewhere?

... I'll be having waaay too much fun with these.
I want it to be Friday already.
Can I just skip all of today? I'm not going to be doing anything interesting at work anyway.
I didn't join any communities today, but I'm still a happy member of Tragic Magic Ninjas, the comm for all your tragic magic ninja needs - and you have those needs, don't deny it!
So in honor of Thursday, how do you guys think Thor would fare against Kakashi's lightning blade?
And while we're at it, would Thor's pokemon of choice be Pikachu? Any other electric crossovers you can think of?
I'm not sure he'd fare, but I'm suddenly shipping it.
Thor/Kakashi's issues, oh yes.... :D
Oh, for a second there I thought you were talking about Thor/Pikachu.
woah, that is disturbing, giphy, well done!
Ok, how do you gif?
Like that?
Well that's a Pikachu who's super into Thor, I guess.
/w4w
why this
because sometimes you just need a space free of het
How about those Georgian era electric eel parties? Where they'd all hold hands in a sexy conga line and the first person would touch the eel? Racy.
lol touch the eel/is five
THOOOR! I know I shouldn't be after Thor 2 but I'm excited for 3. Thor/Loki is pretty much all I care about in the MCU anymore.
I'm trying not to join communities unless I feel like I'd really be into them. It will save me the trouble of pruning later, and I like to have a manageable feed. But I still want to make 10,000 coms so I don't know how long that will last.
I admire your restraint.
/paranormal!
Are there any good book/reading comms other than Books? I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in a book club style comm, with group read-throughs or a weekly discussion of a specific book?
try /m/m library if you are into m/m. I've already gotten some fantubulous recs there!
You mean, like, for the works of P.G. Wodehouse?
Well, I was thinking more general, but that could certainly be included.
My thought is basically like a more centralized place to organize multiple read-throughs of different books/series? But /books may be the best place for that, and no need for a new comm. Who knows?
