Got tagged by some wonderful humans, including @celestialmickey, @energievie, @creepkinginc, @metalheadmickey and @look-i-love-u to complete these fun tag games, thank you and spring blossoms to each of you! ππ
********
β¨οΈ Tag Game Tuesday Wednesday β¨οΈ
Name: Lyds βοΈ
Age: 34 for another 4 weeks or so π
Where in the world are you? Europe, middle of nowhereπ
The meaning behind your URL: 'Ardent' is one of my favorite words, husband calls me Foxxy cause of my red hair, also it sounds like 'ardent fucks' together so cheeky win π
Your second favorite color: Dusty pink π
Any pets? Jasper the bun π
Favorite season: Spring, I feel as if I'm in love with the whole world during it, it kicked in earlier this year and I'm absolutely fine with that πΈ
Last thing you read: Galladrabbles. My brain has been doing its cute thing where it can't focus on reading or writing anything longer than that for the past few weeks π
Last song you listened to: I played the Crazy Ex Girlfriend soundtrack while getting ready to go out, so Gettin' Bi (which has become an anthem of mine ngl) π΅
What are you wearing right now? A hoodie with a crumbling print of a tattooed and pierced out princess Jasmine taking a selfie, black sweatpants and socks with chihuahuas wearing Santa hats on them, my go-to sexy at home look π
A hobby of yours: Writing fanfiction and planning our home makeover, both usually taking place only in my head π
Your comfort show or movie: Got several, going with Pride and Prejudice (the 1995 BBC miniseries) this time π
And finally, what are you up to today? Had a monthly supply of hay delivered to me this morning, went to a job interview that went surprisingly well, did some chores and now I'm chilling here π

β¨οΈ Tag Game Fandom Edition β¨οΈ
Your name: Lyds πΈ
Your age: Still 34 π
Your first fandom(s): Not sure what qualifies, but probably House M.D. π©Ί
Your current fandom(s): Though my hyperfixations are always changing, Shameless/Gallavich is the only fandom I actively engage in π§πΌβπ€βπ§π»
How did you first get into fandom? I was part of a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp RPG message board where I played 3 characters and we also used to write what I now realize was fanfiction on the spot over MSN. A bunch of us were obsessed with House M.D. and someone must have mentioned fanfiction.net to me cause I got hooked on reading Hilson and Huddy stories around the same time π
How long have you been engaging with fandom spaces? The RPG/House era started in 2008, but I didn't become active on Tumblr and AO3 until getting involved in the Shameless fandom as of April 2022 π
How often do you read fanfics? When my brain is in the right place, I'd say a couple stories a week π±
Top 3 characters from your current fandom(s): Ian gallagher, Mickey Milkovich, Castiel (still going through Supernatural and loving every bit of it) π
Have you ever written a fic for a fandom? If so, shout it out! Yes, still at one completed ficlet and a Galladrabble collection on my AO3, not counting the 5-6 WIPs I have in my docs π
Have you ever drawn fanart for a fandom? Nope, can't draw to save my life π
Share a personal headcanon that you feel very strongly about: Probably not the most original one, but Mickey never liked his full name until Ian stated he thought it was beautiful. Him using it in his wedding vows is symbolic of him reconciling with the darkest parts of himself and accepting them before offering his whole self to Ian, a declaration of love for both of them in his own way. The fact that it somewhat mirrors the act of him apprehensively coming out in front of his own hostile audience, only to confidently show his self-acceptance and love for Ian in front of their favorite people 6 years later is just icing on the (wedding) cake π
Youβre trying to convince a friend to get into your current fandom(s) with you. What episode, clip, or scene are you showing them? The "I can explain this" scene when Mickey gets shot in the ass and the social worker appears at the Gallagher house, it's peak Shameless madness π
And finally, what does fandom mean to you? A sanctuary of creativity and comfort where we can all be, make and enjoy whatever we want, the closest thing to utopia there is π«Ά
Tagging @ian-galagher, @sickness-health-all-that-shit, @gallawitchxx, @gardenerian, @squidyyy23, @juliakayyy, @whatwouldmickeydo, @auds-and-evens, @thisdivorce, @sleepyfacetoughguy and whoever sees this and would like to play! β¨οΈ

Had a fantastic fic-writing experience when my brother visited
#I love drawing MSPaint-quality stuff with a laptop touch screen/trackpad in art programs that I spent money on#it's silly fun n.n#The Magnus Archives#TMA spoilers#TMA fanfic#TMA#he knows vague TMA stuff since I mainly talk to him about it but he hasn't heard more than scant minutes here n there#he said he would've listened to it at his library preservation job if they had allowed headphones#but he also didn't last long at that job. Too many splinters#I also loved this moment because last time someone very obviously leaned over to read what I was doing#it was before class and my friend leaned over to read my book#then after a beat he went 'wait what the fuck' and leaned back defeated upon discovering it was in Spanish#as if he had forgotten I had just gotten back from working in Spain and was going through books I'd bought there#fun fact: my very first post was a trackpad comic like this b/c I wanted a not-barren blog fast and I had one on hand#another fun fact: the fic on AO3 is Take the Long Way Home π#I did this instead of writing more because words weren't happenin today#my art
