Guava Continent Outpost

My last update here was in 2019, but what got me actively updating was getting into Timeranger, an old Tokusatsu show that aired in 2000. Technology and culture from that era were on my brain, and my former Livejournal browsing days.

Lately, my current obsession just happens to be another show from the early 2000s. Yugioh GX is an anime that I had been into when I was barely a teen. The peak of its fandom activity had long since passed, or so I thought until I stumbled on the many, many Japanese fanartists on Twitter, posting art and promoting lovingly prepared doujinshi like it's more than a decade ago. So after a total year-long break from fandom, I began creating fanwork for an old show, and thinking back on my younger years.

Which brings me here, back to Dreamwidth. My first attempt to populate and establish this account in December 2018 coincided with the exodus from Tumblr. Quite similar to recent exodus from Twitter. Who knows if many of the new users, or myself, will continue to make an Internet home for ourselves here.

But as the unfolding of history has shown, it's a good idea to stick around for a while.
