#self isolation
It’s a national lockdown, I’m self-isolating, it’s the weekend, and I have nothing to do … so probs gonna spam this account
Hey everyone. Long time, no post!
If you follow me on @thehumming6ird you’ll know that i’ve decided to host another Friendship Friday tomorrow (20th March 2020).
Apologies for the short notice, I just figured that some of us might appreciate some much needed positivity during these uncertain times. So, if your new to the fandom, or if you’ve been here since day one, whether you’re self-isolating or doing vital work to keep your country going, we want to hear from you.
A little about Friendship Friday:
It all started a couple of years ago. I had been getting a lot of private messages and asks with a couple of recurring themes, in particular with regards to people who had recently joined the Marvel/Hiddles fandom. I wrote then:
‘Remember when you first came to Tumblr? When you didn’t know a single other person? When you sat there reblogging posts, not altogether sure who would even see your reblogs or if you were even ‘doing it right’? Remember when you were SO nervous to comment on a post because you didn’t know the ‘etiquette’ and whether it would be considered ‘butting in’ on someone else’s conversation? So you just didn’t. Or you plucked up the courage, replying to someone and nobody acknowledged you? Remember when you had no followers. Or two. or five. All of which were bots? Remember when you were just desperateto talk to someone about a piece of work your favourite actor/actress had done. Or simply wanted to rant about how frustratingly adorable *shifty eyes* their right eyebrow is? Remember when you started making edits or fan art or writing fics and nobody reblogged them? Or nobody read them and you sat wondering why? Or how you could make yourself more visible?
I remember ALL of these things vividly. Because for me it really wasn’t that long ago. I’d simply come to Tumblr for some solace from the outside world and to indulge my fandom obsessions. I wanted to talk to people who loved the same things I did. But I knew absolutely no-one. I’m far from Tumblr famous now btw and have absolutely no desire to become so! However, over time I have been very lucky to make some amazing friendships. Now all I want to be able to do is pay that forward.
As an outsider, allfandoms can seem daunting and often cliquey on first glance. There’s SO much fandom specific language used daily, so much back and forth between friends chatting, and yes, sadly, there will alwaysbe some drama unfolding somewhere. But there are also amazingpeople here. Friendly, positive people who share YOUR excitement, enthusiasm, frustrations, passions, and dare I say kinks? You get the idea…
With that in mind, I had a bit of a lightbulb moment. Wouldn’t it be cool if there was somewhere that new (and old) bloggers could introduce themselves and get chatting to others? Like a kind of ‘Fandom Freshers’ day, if you like. And, because i’m all about the alliteration (sorry nerd alert!) I thought i’d call it Friendship Friday.’
So. Are you new to the Hiddleston/MCU fandom and looking to meet others? Or are you an established blogger (however big or small) who would simply like to extend your hand in friendship? If so, send an ask* tothislink and i’ll post them all tomorrow (Friday 20th March 2020) and we can start making some new friends.
This time i’m also extending it to fans of other MCU actors/actresses. So please, feel free to join in!
*In the past people have talked a little about their hobbies, their favourite films/TV, where in the world they are (please, be safe in what you disclose), fandom things they like doing eg. writing, making edits, fanart, cosplay, chatting and reblogging (and please do not underestimate how important you guys are in a fandom), or simply just wanted to say hi and see if anyone new to the fandom wanted to talk. There’s no right or wrong way to do this, just be yourself and who knows, you might just meet some great new people. The only rules? We don’t do hate here. And obviously, anon asks aren’t going to work! <3
I might just put myself in the hospital. I already feel like I’m in prison, so a hospital wouldn’t really be any different.
Just a little reminder in all this uncertainty.
The Ellen Show | Portia de Rossi
Portia joined Ellen to talk about the good work her company, General Public, has been doing. While they usually make art, Portia talked about how they’ve found a way to use their equipment to instead make thousands of face shields for medical workers. She also talked about how she’s been cooking more during their time in quarantine.
