Guardian fandom friending meme!!!

[china_shop]

Our lovely fandom continues to grow beyond our wildest expectations! Comm membership has just hit 100 98 (and we got impatient)! *shameless champagne and ballooooons*

A few small notes and reminders:

1. The Welcome/Intro post and the Fannish Resources post are still alive and kicking. Feel free to drop in at any time and say hi, or give us all your resource links (even the ones that might seem really obvious)!


2. Lurking is also totally fine, of course! *waves to lurkers*


3. Please tag your posts to the comm so other users can easily find what they’re looking for. In particular, it would be great if you could use the canon: drama and/or canon: novel tags, since it’s not always obvious to us mods which should apply, including for fanart or vids that use drama visuals but draw on novel elements. This is our current list of tags, and we’ll add more type tags as the need arises.


4. You can find the full (updated) comm rules on the profile page.


5. Feel free to promote sid_guardian on your journal or elsewhere. (Here's a graphic and text.)

And now, without further ado...

Since some of us are new to Dreamwidth, and some of us are new to Guardian, it seems like a good time for a Dreamwidth friending meme. Come and meet new people! (Re)Populate your DW circle!

vague memories of some Latin root words - oh, i hear you on this.

I'm also fond of wandering into small fandoms, hanging around for a fic or so, and then vanishing mysteriously into the night. - i just pictured you in a cape and will now be stuck with that mental image forever. wheeeee!

(for some reason the pic is not showing up for me, but i'll take your word for it!)

[galaxysoup]

The Latin just lingers, doesn't it?? Also I now totally want a Mysterious Fic Writer cape. I'm imagining something flowy and mysterious, but with 'WRITER' written on it really big somewhere. :D

Argh, picture why?? It's not letting me edit the original post any more, so I'll see if I can stick it in here somewhere. *cracks knuckles* I have forgotten so much html since the LJ days...



(AHA before I think I was using the thumbnail html, not the full picture html... thank you for coming with me on this html journey)

I think the image may be damaged? When I go directly to the image link it tells me it can't be displayed. Does it work for you?

HEY GUESS WHAT IT HELPS IF I DON'T SET THE IMAGE ACCESS TO 'PRIVATE' I will get the hang of this eventually, I promise. 0.o

[trobadora]

Ha! that explains it. It's working now! :D

Oohh this picture. I love this whole bedside comfort scene not just for the domesticity and devotion of it, but also for that chain on Shen Wei's pants. It's right up there with the sleeve garters for "inexplicably sexy clothing accessories."

[galaxysoup]

RIGHT?????

I had no idea those chains could be a *thing* before now, if you get what I'm saying. Or the sleeve garters. SHEN WEI WHY

[firestar]

I know we have Zhu Yilong to blame thank for the sleeve garters, so I wonder if that came from him as well.

[galaxysoup]

Omg, I love that idea!

[no_detective]

omg THIS.

do we know if he also came up with the metal collar stays? (we know he wears shirt stays irl so i don't think it's much of a stretch of the um. imagination.)

[firestar]

The collar pins? I don't, no. Someone else might, though it wouldn't surprise me. XD

[no_detective]

ohhh that is... a very good outfit. YES. (the chain curves quite beautifully, doesn't it.)

i love the way those vests frame his shoulders and back. a+++ sartorial choice.

[galaxysoup]

I know, right? I'm just... It's so many things I like, all at once. Some of the costuming in the show leaves me cold, but some of it is just, so right.
