Initial Introductory Post!

Initial Introductory Post!

Hi Tumblr! Long time lurker, first time blogger!

I remember when the wild Tumbeasts roamed these lands... though I was but a visitor then...

"Distracted" or "Diffused" is fine for me as a short name; will answer to either one. Expect both parts of that to be accurate.

[Edited to add - started using "DD" here; will go by that. Upper or lower case is fine.]

I'm planning for this to be the companion blog to my AO3 account (distracted_and_diffused), and to share fandom stuff but not a lot of personal stuff. I currently have one tiny drabble posted, and hope to post another fic soon.

My current (unposted) WIPs are in the following fandoms:

Dead Boy Detectives (TV show)

Hades (video game)

Yuri on Ice (anime)

Paint Your Wagon (film)

I have lurked in various fandoms since the mid-1990s, but have mostly tended to discuss fandom stuff offline with friends, so this is me dipping a toe into larger fannish waters!

This is the part where I try to reassure you that I am not a bot. (Which, I am aware, is something a bot would probably say, so I am at something of a disadvantage...)

If it's the beginning of June 2024 and you're wondering why I suddenly followed you -- you looked like you were cool and also you were my Tumblr-assigned blog partner (they ask you to follow 3 blogs from a pre-selected list when you sign up now).

I will eventually make more posts! Eventually... probably... I think.

But for now, just happy to be here.

New definition of gritty reboot: the story is exactly the same, but one main character has been replaced by Gritty.

Do you ship it?

Renamed the Blog

Because I suddenly remembered the existence of hyphens.

(In my defense, I am more of an em-dash person in everyday life.)

“the cat king is a villain” “the cat king is a good guy” you’re all wrong. the cat king is a trickster. he is whatever he chooses to be at any given moment based purely on his own whims and interests. it’s a disservice to the character to try and categorize him on a simplistic basis like good/evil
