favorite audiobooks and narrators

[rubbertea]

i know a lot of people don't like audiobooks and prefer reading over listening, but i personally like both, and i like to have something to listen to on the train.

my favorite narrator by far is michael emerson. he's just awesome. i especially love his reading of stephen wright's amalgamation polka. his tone has just the right amount of creepiness and, idk, intensity? anyway, i just really really love his voice. also here's a video of him reading little boy blue.

what about you guys?

Agents of Sheild SPOILERS

[(Anonymous)]

I stopped watching this show after the first couple of episodes because I could not stand Ward. But something I saw on Tumblr today made me think I might want to reconsider, so I'm asking for spoilers.

Question: Tell me, does Ward turn out to be a bad guy or is that just Tumblr theorists posting stuff?

How do you get into a new fandom?

[kaijinscendre]

I finally saw Captain America and have now been bitten by the CA bug. When I get into a new fandom, I generally do the same thing.

I pick my favorite character (in this case Bucky) and start going through Ao3 to read every fic which stars him. I also look for favorite pairings (as of now Bucky/Steve). I will go literally go through every page of fanfic on A03 (it will take weeks). I eventually branch out to other pairings.

I also start going through my favorite tumblr blogs to queue up fanart and such. And finally I start learning as much about them as possible.

What is your process when entering a new fandom?

[(Anonymous)]

Instead of writing letters for my internship I built my house in skyrim then emptied my inventory of my 147 purple mountain flowers.

Rant - sexuality is not always fluid goddamnit

[(Anonymous)]

I just got bitched out by an apparently bisexual friend for identifying as a lesbian. According to her 100% straight people exist but 100% gay people do not because EVERYONE is into the opposite sex BECAUSE REPRODUCTION!! and if someone thinks they're gay it's only because their hormones are fucked up or some shit. "But what if you decide you want to date guys someday?!" I've tried that, multiple times, when I was trying to fit in. IT DOES NOT WORK. I'M FUCKING GAY. I like girls and ONLY girls. I am NOT going to just change my mind someday. It's like the people that have been telling me for years that I'm going to change my mind about having children. NO I AM FUCKING NOT. You don't live in my head, you don't know what I think or what I want, you don't get to tell me what I feel.

I've gone through so much bullshit depression and angst trying to come to terms with even liking girls in the first place and to have someone, once I have finally accepted and embraced this about myself, try to take it away? I'm so fucking pissed.

How often do you encounter jerks offline?

[feotakahari]

I've noticed that jerks online tend to justify themselves by framing themselves as preparing people for jerks offline. This has always felt odd to me. Maybe I've been lucky, but I've encountered very few jerks offline who were over the age of 12.* I've had no jerk coworkers, no jerk roommates, only a couple jerk teachers** . . . The only jerks I've encountered in the past several years have been folks I've met so briefly I didn't even learn their names.

What's your frequency of offline jerk encounters? Are there jerks who you have to deal with closely?

*I can't even count the number of jerks I've encountered who were under 10, and I've encountered a fair number between 10 and 12. I guess the adult jerks are the ones who don't grow out of it.

**I've had a fair number of teachers who were really strict, but they were just bitter and tired of their job, and you could get on their good side if you cared about their subject. Only a couple were actual jerks.

GoT: Purple Wedding

[(Anonymous)]

It's tonight! Can't wait! I'm especially excited to see how my friends react because I've been spoiled on the book plot and they haven't. I think there's going to be cheering. :D

Scholarships?

[(Anonymous)]

How do you guys find scholarships? I'm looking at grad school in the fall and have applied to some through the school, but I really want to apply for more. It's expensive and I need the money. D: Anyone here applied for any?? I know that is a very broad question. I tried one scholarship website (Scholarship.com I think?) but after going through the effort of signing up, they had very few listings.

Murphy's Law

[mekkio]

When was the last time you said something to like, "Oh, that's not going to happen" only for it to happen immediately afterward?

Earlier today I was out with nephew at the local play park/nature trail. (Acres and acres of woods with paths.) I wanted to take some photos of plants and birds because it is Spring and everything is beautiful. But my nephew was hesitant saying that he was afraid of running into snakes. So, we start down a trail and he's going, "Can we just go to the playground? I don't want to go walking. There are snakes here." To which I went, "Oh, you are being silly. We are not going to run into any snakes. The most we are going to see are birds. Maybe some squirrels. But no snakes."

And at that moment an almost three foot Rat Snake slithers across our path not even six feet ahead of us.

To say the least, we went to the playground after that. No photography was done that day.

Vibrator recs?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm overwhelmed with choice. I want something quiet, nothing fancy but maybe a couple of different speed settings, preferably waterproof.

I'm sorry to ask, F!S, but I'm terrible at making decisions.

Anyone have any unusual hobbies?

[(Anonymous)]

Or just uncommon ones. I'm an amateur ballroom dancer and everyone is always a bit like "oh" when I say it. Then the Strictly comments start...
But yeah, discuss!

Quick Batman comics question for Batman fans...

[(Anonymous)]

I vaguely remember seeing awhile back in one of the threads something about a Batman writer who changed her surname to "Grayson" in honor of Dick Grayson who wrote some sort of spinning-out-of-control arc that apparently culminated in murder and dub-con sex on a roof involving Nightwing and, er, maybe one of her OCs. (Maybe while it was raining?)

Anyway! Can anyone tell me what arc or key words I should use to look up more info on this? It's for a request!fic thing. And I'd like to take a passable swing at it.

What do you do to feel better?

[(Anonymous)]

Having a crappy time of it, settled in to watch a bunch of documentaries today.

After an hour or two, I realized hey, this is a thing I do. I had never made the connection before, but every time I'm feeling really down, I watch documentaries. How strange (but effective -- for me, anyway)!

What's something that you do to feel better that you maybe just kind of...started doing with thinking about it?

Games thread!

Book club thread!
