HELLO FANDOM PALS 👋 i'm DYLAN but you may also know me as (regrettably) GYZYM. i've lost track of TOO MANY PEOPLE in the chaos of these last few years of Being Online. if you have too, would you share this & reply with your fandom info? let's try to find each other and some joy here in hell!

still one of my favorite tweets

I am HOWLING

Does anyone remember the fanart of the 2000s and that type of wall scroll art where you open up the image scroll right to view the entire comp? Just had a thought of creating a vid commentary on something like that to replicate the timeline feel.

Many people ask us if Savannah goes to high-end salons to get her bangs styled, but the truth is that she's just naturally chic.

A message for you all to carry through the year

I'm still taking suggestions for the january posting meme! lots of open dates since i didn't post it until yesterday ha. www.tumblr.com/kuwdora/8044... also might try to be ambitious and do the Snowflake Challenge to blog some words out. or i might just keel over but my heart wants it.

January posting meme... pick a day and ask me a question and I'll blog about it! Try to warm my blogging muscles back up again! kuwdora.dreamwidth.org/807086.html you can leave your q's here or on DW or tumblr

I wrote a Your Guide to Farscape story a few years ago and I'm always so happy to see folks get into the show, which I love a lot. Talked to Brian Henson of Jim Henson Company for this as well. This was such a labor of love: www.ign.com/articles/201...

I've been sick, my cat is sick. my executives are on strike. I miss being able to sleep. I miss being able to stay caught up with friends.

“Rain smacked Los Angeles. It splattered on the palm trees, sizzled on the neon, gurgled down the dirty boulevard. The town was sick. They hadn’t seen sunlight in almost a day. But I had the cure. A fifth of magic and a sack full of cold, hard joy. ‘Ho,’ I said once. It was enough.” -Noir Santa

So heated rivalry is amazing, but one of the wildest parts of it is its determination to shove Canadian mid aughts indie music back into the zeitgeist. As an elderly millennial, this is public service.

Some absolutely top notch orange cattery here

Please check out how cool this fireplace screen is that an artist friend of my mother’s made.

Look at the beautiful thing Lyndsay @magpie.tips made for me, so talented!!! 😭❤️ My only trouble is figuring out where I display it in the house so everyone can admire it!!

A tea shopkeeper's dog named Bergamot... so cute. And such a PRETTY dog too, immaculately groomed!

Honestly I just don't know if its even ethical to play AAA games anymore

I'm finally playing Suzrain on account of @poetikat.bsky.social 's rec and I'm like 5 hours into the game when I search my DM history with kat and realize I never recced Borgen. anyway, I'm always happy to be reccing Chili's vids. SO GOOD: chaila.dreamwidth.org/549707.html #viddingdora #squeedora

Big fan of the author! Check it out! Don't we all want nothing bad to happen, at least for a few hours?

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

I'm absolutely not clicking on that rage-bait article about pissed off parents whose children cut them out of their lives.

I've long been frustrated that small-scale indie news orgs don't get the recognition they deserve for the crucial work they do for their communities, so I did something about it. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

(forgetting the word for fondue) cheese wine hot pot

The Advocate did a lovely write up www.advocate.com/news/queer-a...

With Hockey RPF the fanfic was for the romance and the sex, the things canon didn't provide. But in Heated Rivalry canon does provide. So logic dictates that the fanfic is there to make them actually play hockey.

For all y’all Heated Rivalry folks

@elipie.bsky.social commissioned some kitty ornaments from Kalia who is open to commissions right now! so cute ! www.instagram.com/shinakari

I am once again back on my Spartacus bullshit and Rebekah is right! www.whatsalanwatching.com/review-spart...

i was writing about my vid farr this morning on my tumblr and accidentally came up with a vidding band name: Three Days Clipping. What's your vidding band name? #vidding #viddingdora

Getting to know this legend has been one of the greatest joys of my life and I'm so pleased to introduce you to her with this gorgeous feature from the Inquirer, where she speaks for the first time in over 30 years on her incredible journey share.inquirer.com/XdfXr9

also realizing that this is the second time in my vidding life that i've vidded a tv show where the main actor was replaced by an australian actor named Liam. flipping my two nickles like a jester over here.

rewatching my spartacus vids and from the depths of my memories i realize i have/had a vid draft somewhere of crixus and everyone else set to the Thong Song that i never finished

This week, Netflix will drop a western with Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson as warring matriarchs of opposing clans. Not a one of the dozens of media writers I follow online has ever mentioned this show, and yet its three-week-old trailer has over 1M views. Make it make sense.

not surprised that Disney takes advantage of actors, banking on them wanting to get even a small role in the franchise

CLAUDIA BLACK IS IN HOUSE OF ASHUR. aaaaaaaaa

Thanks to someone in California who is picked a framed print of this fall scene. I would have sworn I did this further back than 2020 but I guess time flies, eh? Hope you enjoy it! 🍁🍂 Prints: pixels.markonart.com/featured/let... #Art #DigitalArt #Autumn #Fall #dogs #walking #QueerARtist

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas” Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

Every year I look forward to sharing my Advent Calendar online. My mother made this by hand in 1976 or 1977. There no Velcro or glue - everything is sewn onto the panels in her tiny little stitches. Day One is a very content looking felt cow with a tiny French knot for her eye. #AdventCalendar

Last few hours to shop the sale!!! Thank you all so much for your support ❤️

Looking for inexpensive holiday gifts? Maybe check out my Etsy shop! www.etsy.com/shop/JustGee... Mainly pins, but also stickers and embroidered patches! I also do custom pins (1" diameter and 2" diameter) on a quick turnaround!

Tomorrow is the day :D I think this is actually the first year in ages I haven't had a Christmas Calendar? But I've decided *this* shall be my daily treat (not to mention nudging me back into posting regularly 🤞)

“Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.” -Tom Stoppard
