Infopost time - Alana, Anders, Jack, Bay

[not_a_moonie]

I haven't done one of these since Anders was new, and I'm pretty sure the game will fall apart if I don't get one up at least once a year. So here are my oldbies!

• Is from the excellent comic book series Saga, which is a romantic space opera on loads and loads of crack.
  
• Is 17 and a junior. 5'7", bobbed black hair with greenish highlights, green eyes. Also, wings. She looks mixed race by Earth standards but that doesn't mean a whole lot to her.
  
• ... because she is from spaaaaaace. The planet Landfall, to be precise. She has wings, as do most Landfall natives; like most women on Landfall, her wings were ceremonially clipped when she was tiny, which keep her from doing any real flying. She isn't especially bothered by any of this.
  
• Comes from a culture that's a lot more egalitarian than ours (minus the wingbleeding thing). As a result, is more self-confident and sexually aggressive than your average Earth girl her age, though not notably so by the standards of her world.
  
• Is regular friends-with-great-benefits with Johnny Storm (ultimatehottie).
  
• Knows she'll probably have to be a soldier in a long-running war after she gets home unless she magically turns into a good student in the next 18 months and can finish college instead. Doesn't like her odds but is trying not to think about it.
  
• Lives in 302 with Celia Bowen, who she has some depressing family crap in common with.
  
• Loves sci-fi and romance novels and this trashy TV series that's like a soap opera with pro wrestling thrown in. Is basically a total fangirl nerd in the body of a martial arts wiz.
  
• Is played by the adorable Zoe Kravitz.

---

• Is from Dragon Age, but is still multiple decades and a good deal of embittering away from deciding possession and blowing up a building are spectacular ideas.
  
• Is 16 and a sophomore. 5’11", shoulder-length strawberry blond hair that’s always tied back, hazel eyes, dresses like he just fell out of a Renn Fest half the time but is learning to love the blue jean.
  
• Ran away from the Ferelden Circle of Magi by jumping through a portal to Fandom. Never wants to leave.
  
• Hates the Circle. A lot. Will tell you his reasons why at length if you let him, and possibly even if you don’t.
  
• Is decent with basic elemental magics, like bolts of fire, ice and lightning, and likes fighting more than he wants to admit. Is an even better healer.
  
• Works at the Magic Box almost every Sunday.
  
• Is dating Nathan Byrn (halfbad) and trying very hard not to scare him off.
  
• Is little brother to Eleanor Holloway (nobloodymessiah). Went to Rapture with her and sincerely hopes to never go back.
  
• Lives in 322 with the best roomie ever, Rapunzel (likes_ducklings), and a tuxedo cat named Lachlan, who may just be the best kitty ever.
  
• Is played by Toby Regbo, who plays Dauphin/King Louis on Reign and is generally an exceptionally gorgeous and ridiculous individual.

Jack Priest, bitten_notshy is-- among other things -- a werewolf and part of Derek Hale's pack. He's also Eric Northman's dayman over at Devil's Nest; is starting law school in a few weeks; and has been on the island since he was a wee bitty 17-year-old. He turned 23 last month and we are all getting old. He was originally from Elizabeth Bear's excellent book New Amsterdam but has ... strayed a bit.

He dates Emma Frost and flirts with anything that seems receptive.

Bay Kennish is over at justbeingbay. She’s 19 and graduated in 2014. She now lives in a ratty apartment in L.A., is auditing classes at Cal-Arts and working art museum food service, and has a boyfriend named Emmett who she is dancing with in that gif. She is currently badly neglected because the Switched at Birth writers screwed her over last season and I still can’t even.

I’m Elisabeth, but most people call me E because I’m too lazy to use nine whole letters to sign things. Depending on the day, I am either a cat cuddling a guinea pig or Taylor Swift in lingerie waving a knife.

I live in northern Virginia. I have a husband, two kids, two guinea pigs and two cats. I’m around on and off during the work day and for real most evenings, sporadically on weekends. I am learning to embrace the SP, but please poke me if I ever drop something and you want to keep going.

The best ways to reach me are Twitter at @septembergrrl or email at septembergrrl at gmail dot com. My Tumblr is worldleaderpretend and is mostly Dragon Age right now. I have an AIM login at fakenamecentral but I’m rarely on.

Also, this is the best recipe ever.

That Taylor Swift video is the best thing ever. (HI!)

[not_a_moonie]

ISN'T IT?

It's funny, it subverts the crazy bitch trope, and Taylor looks really fucking hot in it. Like, I went & bought a tube of red lipstick after I saw it, she makes it look that good.

Here, have another gif:

She looks amazing. Like on that picnic with the sunglasses and candy? So fabulous. She even looks hot with the streaked mascara crazy eyes.

Also, what I really need in life is a gif of her beating up the guy's car with a golf club, because it's so hilariously over the top and TAKE THAT *chunk*

Hey, critics, you want to call me a stalker bitch? I CAN BRING IT.

[not_a_moonie]

Oh, god, the picnic look is awesome. Or the maroon sweater for riding her bike around the dining room. And the white horses in her bedroom, because of COURSE Taylor Swift has horses in her bedroom, come on.

♥ I love owning-her-image feminist Taylor SO MUCH.

Also:

That first dress of hers, and her hair so picture-perfect. WHY SO FLAWLESS, TAYLOR.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee, best gif ever. THANK YOU ♥

All I can offer in return is my new favorite gif, which is me dancing like the biggest gorfball in the known universe:

[not_a_moonie]

D'awww. It looks like you were trying to moonwalk and then KICK.

[elated-or-gassy.livejournal.com]

I think that kick marked the official moment in my life when it was determined that I will never, ever be cool. ♥

Honesty time: I downloaded a ton of gifs from Blank Space to use in my infopost and then decided I couldn't be bothered to do one and the fact that I wasn't using those gifs bothered me so I'm SO HAPPY to see this.

[not_a_moonie]

Ha! Happy to serve. They are in fact the Best GIFs.

[princessarcasm]

Honesty time: my (male) roommate and I have been jamming to Blank Space all week. I have to third the Blank Space love.

And the love of your characters, ofc. Hiiii I can't wait to meet Anders.
