    lurked here sans account for ages to read the rps, then discovered that if you make an account it TRACKS WHERE YOU'VE READ TO. utterly amazing, best invention of the century. i am enthused
    (actually here mainly because i noticed the create-an-account button at around the time where i was supposed to be writing an essay on lafayette, and it was all well hot damn this is entirely necessary)
    anyhow, the name is pteropus, the endeavor is living on a boat. hobbies: storytelling, cooking using only a frying pan, consuming media at enormous speeds, sealing letters with candle wax like a fancy jackass, etc

    in summary: yo

    i've been reading the boat trolls series, which is right now the non-boat werewolves-and-magic bit. continually spectacular character studies!
    (nice burr quote)

    i've been reading that too. :D

    (thank you! burr is my fave hamilton character, and wait for it is probably my fave hamilton song.)

    at this point i'm unclear on how much of this forum is actually centered around those rps. it only recently occurred to me that seeing as there was a subheading for rps there was prooooooobably something else on the site.

    i love and resent burr in equal measure- the dude reminds me too much of me. i'm totally torn between yorktown and room where it happens for my favorite hamilton tracks but either way i just end up listening to wait for it over and over and feeling like i've heard some sorta cosmic truth

    this forum is not centered around those rps. honestly, it would be a stretch to say kintsugi is centered around anything at all. or at least anything you can sum up in one to four words.

    :D me too. like, with how he hesitates to do things, and to show opinions - just yeah, it really reminds me of how i deal with tumblr.

    and yes, yes, wait for it does feel exactly like that!

    (Love doesn't discriminate
    Between the sinners
    And the saints
    It takes and it takes and it takes
    And we keep loving anyway
    We laugh and we cry
    And we break
    And we make our mistakes
    And if there's a reason I'm by her side
    When so many have tried
    Then I'm willing to wait for it
    I'm willing to wait for it
    )

    when i first listened to hamilton i kept absentmindedly writing this down the margins of my notes. made for some weird lab reports

    :D while i have never done that exact thing, i definitely get a similar feel a lot of the time. like, i want to go and use music lyrics or quotes from things as, like, stand-ins for my thoughts and feelings or something. which is why i do lots of fanmixy pairing-characters/ships-with-songs things in my head. which i basically think, in my case, is echolalia, just put in a fandom context and with fandom conventions (fanmixes, fanvids, lyric comics, gifs... etc.).

    i love taking quotes and songs and bending the context for fandom things (or usually for my vague series of ocs). it makes for some damn cool exploration of language and meaning! i don't think there's a single song i listen to that hasn't got a pack of associations with some ridiculously unrelated thing. this medieval folk rock instrumental? it's about star trek. pop hit from 2001? relationship development of gay wizard pirates, definitely.

    i'm not sure how much of the quote-bending tendencies i picked up from the general course of fandom, but it's really neat to meet someone else who does it! you got a favorite fanmix?
