My name's Guardy, 'n I'm here to bother you all with fandom content and assorted pop culture nerdery. My current main fandom home is "Emergency!", you might also know me from my Hornblower days a few years ago.
This journal currently mostly serves as an archive for my meta posts on tumblr, since Staff can't be trusted to not nuke their own asses, but I'd love to pop in and actually be social every now and then, so don't be afraid to say hi.
Also, my tagging heavily relies on searching with multiple tags - you can do that by editing the URL. For instance, if you want to see all my posts including Emergency! gifs, just click on the ".fandom: Emergency!" tag:
-> https://guardy.dreamwidth.org/tag/.fandom:+emergency!
and then add any other tags you want to filter for, separated by a comma, with all spaces replaced by "+", and add "?mode=all" at the end
-> https://guardy.dreamwidth.org/tag/.fandom:+emergency!,.type:+gif?mode=all
(?mode=any would get you posts that are tagged with one or more of these tags, so ALL gifs plus ALL emergency posts)
Got the next batch of Random Thoughts Posts for y'all - as per usual, they were originally written for my E! tumblr blog, this is mostly just a backup should anything happen to that blog. Still early days for those posts, so some of them may still a bit janky.

E! Random Thoughts: Season 1
Jul. 23rd, 2021 05:27 pmHere's the first batch of Random Thoughts posts, as originally posted to my Johnny's Green Pen tumblr blog. These are best read while having the actual episodes at hand, and since I'm going through the episodes chronologically, these may also still be a bit rough around the edges since they were the first posts of that kind I did.

Whelp 2: Electric Boogaloo
Jul. 22nd, 2021 03:00 pm Hey folks, it's only been...
*counts on fingers*
three years! or so! Two 'n a half?
Anyway. Tumblr's doing some absolute bullshit again (Post+! ~Monetize your Fanworks~! Oh I cannot believe the idiocy), and I figured that, since there's A) a pretty good chance these utter dumbasses are going to get their collective asses sued and won't have the resources to not let the site crash and burn and B) I've actually done shit on tumblr since mid-2020 that I am very emotionally attached to, I should probably start mirroring everything I did that I don't generally have a local copy of onto here and actually use this thing for a change.
So, this is your warning: there's actual content incoming now. Run for the hills! Aaaah!
It's mostly gonna be a fandom none of the three folks subbed to this journal have ever heard of, too, so let me very quickly introduce you to the love of my fandom life since June 2020: Emergency! (1972).
TL;DR:

This is Johnny.

And this is Roy.

And this is them together.
They're firefighter/paramedics - some of the first, since the show's about the start of the paramedics program as a Thing, which is fascinating - working for the LA County fire department.
Here's a rundown of SOME of my reasons for loving that show, written shortly after I found it: https://guardevoir.tumblr.com/post/621365869537361920/emergency-sometimes-somebody-gets-stuck-in-a
But I also utterly fell in love with its sometimes genuinely surprising level of progressiveness and general sense of optimism.
I have a sideblog for this fandom over on ye olde tumblr: https://johnnys-green-pen.tumblr.com/ (no affiliation with the original Johnny's Green Pen site, which, I understand, existed at some point but was long gone before I somehow stumbled into this whole thing)
My current plans are to eventually backup all my Random Thoughts Posts on the various E! episodes here, as well as all longer essays I might eventually write, plus maybe my fanfics - though those can also be found on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Guardy/works
I'll try to not spam you all too much, but I have about 80-ish posts to carry over, so... RIP me, I guess!

Hi folks, I'm new.
More or less.
I mean, I've been reading the old AssCreed kinkmeme for years and also some Hornblower stuff - the few figments of that fandom that moved here from LJ, anyway - but I've never signed up until now, because DW is scary and confusing.
So, the name's Guardy. I do fandom stuff, I also do original stuff. I enjoy nerding out about old shit, and I have MANY OPINIONS about vampires in literature.
Content on here will probably be mostly my more serious fandom stuff - analyses, mini-essays, that kind of stuff. Maybe also other things. I'll set up tag overviews1 and FAQ things at some point, probably.
For what that's worth nowadays, I'm

1 Or maybe not because DW is a functioning website that does tag overviews automatically, as I just remembered.
