artyuletide and caprbb - Current fandom: MCU Captain America.
- Favorite character: I love Bucky, for his resilience in the face of dehumanization. (I love Sam, for always choosing kindness despite the losses in his life. And Steve, for being a wheezy little shit who fights bullies but still has faith in people. And Natasha, who, despite all the lies in her life, manages to be real with herself and her friends. And Tony, the billionaire genius who just wants a family and is capable of so much generosity and loyalty.)
- Ships: I'm generally pretty gen. I end up drawing a lot of vaguely Stucky things, but actually: I like Sam/Steve/Bucky, Sam/Bucky, Steve/Bucky/Tony, Tony/Pepper, and Nat as a Good Bro.
- Fandom history
- First-ever introduction to fandom: I joined a Kenshin/Kaoru mailing list, where I read a lot of fics and wrote ... one.
- Other fandoms I've lurked in: High school was Rurouni Kenshin followed by Weiss Kreuz, Gundam Wing, and Harry Potter. Then I hit college and stopped for 10+ years.
- How I got into my current fandom: I watched The Winter Soldier, came out of it being like "There wasn't enough Bucky", then went onto tumblr (which I'd recently joined), and typed "Bucky Barnes" into the search bar. I proceeded to spend the next week learning about AO3 and reading 200,000 words of fic, liking and following a bajillion art blogs. That wasn't enough, so I started drawing my own.
- Other fandom platforms:
- AO3 (potofsoup - slowly putting up some of what tumblr took from me)
- Here's my tumblr masterpost.
- Pillowfort (potofsoup - extant but not active)
- Patreon (potofsoup - mostly process stuff)
- Storenvy (potofsoup - basically my comics in print form)
- You can email me at potofsoupyfeels at gmail, or DM me on the caprbb Slack.
- Real life stuff:
- Professional: I teach high school history and help run a Chinese heritage language school / curriculum company.
- Non-fandom activities/hobbies: I draw comics, which you can find at http://soupycomics.com , and I play taiko with a local group. I also care a lot about board games and table-top rpgs, but mostly in the past tense due to time constraints of having a toddler. Similarly, I used to knit and sew.
- I care deeply about: the American immigrant experience, the intersection between immigration and systemic racism, whatever the heck is going on in China right now, and doing what I can to slow climate change and vote bullies out of power.
