Intro

[catdetective]

Name: You can call me 'Cat'

Main Fandoms: Currently looking for anyone else who's watched St. Elsewhere, other main fandom atm is literally anything Jeff Goldblum has ever done. (on the discord, we've taken to referring to the JGCU, usually when we're talking crossovers but also just for the body of work in general)
Other Fandoms: Pacific Rim, Star Trek, and Sherlock Holmes are forever fandoms. General theatre but more specifically musicals (not into much that's current, don't care for the modern pop sound shows but I do like rock musicals) and Shakespeare. Some Disney. Am always down to talk Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel, despite not being active in those fandoms. Fire Emblem (esp. Tellius arc). General fairy tale/mythology. Oscar Wilde. The Hobbit/LotR
Fannish Interests: Mostly I write, sometimes I draw. On occasion I do moodboards, but I'm not very practiced. I'm also into fannish crafting and collecting.
OTPs and Ships: hoo boy... a LOT? For those forever fandoms, Newmann, K/S, and basically any incarnation of Holmes/Watson. For St. Elsewhere I've become invested in Victor/Jack. We will be here all day if I start talking about which Jeff Goldblum characters I ship where, but I'll mention the dinOT3 (and then if you have a favorite thing and want to know what I ship, by all means talk to me and I'll talk ships!)

Favourite Movies: Pacific Rim, The Princess Bride, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension, Transylvania 6-5000, Jurassic Park, Hotel Artemis, Clue, Singing in the Rain, The Wizard of Oz, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Aristocats, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Ghostbusters, Duck Soup, The Last Unicorn, My Neighbor Totoro, Phantom of the Paradise, Rocky Horror Picture Show, LA Confidential (honestly The Big Chill isn't one of my favorite movies but Michael Gold is still my favorite Jeff Goldblum character if I had to pick just one out of my top five), Pirates of Penzance, that Much Ado About Nothing with Keanu tbh. The Celluloid Closet!
TV Shows: St Elsewhere, a lot of cooking shows tbh, Star Trek (TOS and DS9 mostly), 30 Rock, pretty much any mystery show but esp. Poirot, Miss Fisher, Father Brown.
Books: Good Omens, The Left Hand of Darkness, Watership Down, anything I've read by Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Terry Pratchett, Ursula K. LeGuin... Classic children's lit. Some poetry.
Music: David Bowie, Queen, Meatloaf, Postmodern Jukebox, ABBA, classic broadway anything but I'd die for Stephen Sondheim, Bonnie Tyler, anything 80s, big into some divas... Gershwin, Gilbert and Sullivan, and I'm a super basic ho when it comes to opera.
Games: Fire Emblem series, Rune Factory series, some of the old Final Fantasy games here and there. Civ games. Used to rock at Cool Spot on the Genesis, which may show my age a little, ANYTHING TABLETOP but especially D&D and cooperative board games.
Comics/Anime/Misc: Haven't kept up on anything recent w/ comics/manga/anime, love anything Ghibli. Loved Warren Ellis' run on Excalibur and also tend to enjoy anything else he's done.

Other Info: Autistic, They/Them, biromantic ace but I usually just use 'queer', ask me about my cat(s). I collect enamel pins, and toys/dolls (with an eye for customization). I love cross-stitch and freehand embroidery, and baking when I get the chance. Big into Hallowe'en and all things pumpkin. Big into blue lipstick. Big into unicorns and mermaids and dragons, big into horror as a genre, big into how I relate to those things as a disabled queer person honestly. Big into any fandom meta relating to disability/queerness.

Comments

[mr_picard]

Hello, fellow actor fan here! (I like Jeff Goldblum, too. Especially as Ian Malcolm.) Also, fellow K/S fan even though it doesn't go much beyond reading the occasional fic and smiling at "Kirk and Spock are so canon" screencaps. I also love Garak/Bashir (since you said you like DS9).

*waves*

[catdetective]

I should have listed Garak/Bashir under ships... they're so THERE? Like... you look at them and they're just blatant.

[mr_picard]

They're utterly obvious, yes! I mean their first scene already SCREAMS OTP, lol!

[catdetective]

That first meeting... it's so blatantly flirty, I die.

[mr_picard]

It is! I love Bashir's AAAAAH face when Garak puts his hands on his shoulders. lol

[obstinatecondolement]

I am another autistic queer who uses they/them pronouns! We have a lot of other interests in common too, so I'm gonna add you :D

[catdetective]

Oh nice! Go team queer-and-autistic!

[badfalcon]

We've got quite a lot in common and I like how you put yourself forward, I'd like to get to know you :)

[catdetective]

Thank you! I look forward to geeking out over things together and getting to know each other (I see you're also a stationery fiend! I'm so bad at building the habit of using my planner, but I'm so good at amassing too many tiny stickers, fancy pens, and rolls of washi tape that I always intend to use with it...)

[badfalcon]

I do exactly the same thing with my planners as well. I always start off with really good intentions, fade down over a couple of months, get really determined and buy even more supplies, use it for a while.... lather, rinse, repeat.

[catdetective]

I just need to get organized overall, to make it easier to build these habits. Right now I'm living without a desk, so all these things pile up in my craft organization cart...

[greghousesgf]

ooo, hello, we have lots of favorites in common!

[catdetective]

Ah nice-- glad to meet you! (oh, I see you're a fellow MST3k fan, I didn't even think to mention that here...)

[greghousesgf]

I should be more specific, the fandoms we share are Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes (the original books and Jeremy Brett are my faves), classic rock especially David Bowie and Queen, Oscar Wilde, LOTR, Singing in the Rain, the Wizard of Oz, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Ghostbusters (psst, like the guys, love the women), Duck Soup (love the Marx bros, but that's their best movie), Phantom of the Paradise, Rocky Horror, and lots of cooking shows especially the Great British Bakeoff!

[catdetective]

Oh man, The Great British Bakeoff is just so calming? Like... I love how the competitors are very friendly and positive towards each other, and all the little cutaways to nature outside of the tents. I mean, I enjoy Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen a lot, but sometimes I just want to see everyone being nice to each other...
