  • HOBBIES

Longtime friends Maggie and V met twelve years ago through a mutual fandom -- and they haven't agreed on much since, except for their love of loving things, writing fanfiction, and each other. Join them as they chat about their passions (and gentle ribbing of the other's passions) and discuss the ins and outs of fandom's past, present, and future, from LiveJournal to Tumblr, AO3, and beyond.

    059. In Shining Armor

    Polish your lance! (Heh.) In ye olde penultimate episode of IMYOLJ, Maggie and V discuss all things knight-in-shining-armor, especially Heath Ledger in A Knight's Tale, Dev Patel and his fancy chest in The Green Knight, and the travesty that is the DCOM Avalon High. Plus, why knights are totally relevant to fandom and fanfiction, and Maggie sings an original song from high school that totally doesn't rip off Enrique Iglesias' "Hero."

    058. Just A Big F*cking Worm: An Interview with Foz Meadows

    Words have meanings! This week, Maggie and V have a chat with the delightful four-time Hugo Award nominee Foz Meadows. They discuss Dune, BTS, Call Me By Your Name, and the ravages of purity culture on fannish spaces. Foz brings their well-known thoughtful consideration and love of words to a heavy discussion with, of course, some spots of ridiculousness. Plus, the phrase "Twinks Unwrangled."

    057. We Have to Go Back

    Waaaaalt! In this episode, Maggie and V take a trip further back down memory lane than they've ever gone before and talk about fandoms they participated in before they really got into internet fandom (or before there was an internet at all). V waxes poetic about American Girl, and Maggie tells stories about Lost viewing parties. Plus, spoiler-free excitement over Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Matrix Resurrections.

    056. Miracles Happen

    Someone sat on us again! This week, after our unplanned mini-break, Maggie and V are back with four tales of New York City girls who are some stripe of American royalty and experience miracles to great soundtracks. V is bringing you The Princess Diaries book series and 1999's Annie, while Maggie reps A Little Princess and the 1982 Annie. Plus, Paul Rudd is the sexiest man alive, Maggie's love Jon Bernthal was lighthearted in King Richard, and V does not spoil Eternals or Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

    055. Coding & Fandom

    Pause before posting that meta! This week, Maggie and V are joined by Violeta @morethanonepage​, winner of 2021′s Fandom March Madness, to talk about coding. Why do so many Black characters in scifi have purple or blue skin? What's the difference between queerbaiting and queer-coding? Is Kylo Ren really a femme? Does Loki represent white supremacy or transracial adoption narratives? Plus, Violeta joins in on "What Are You Into This Week" with a rec of her own!
