Today is my Birthday!

2026-04-06T10:04:02Z

Today is my Birthday! It is probably going be a quiet one this year, because we just moved and I don't feel like doing much. In fact I can't quite believe it's already April, but I'm grateful to experience another round around the sun.

(Also, side note, I know a couple of you have my old address to send physical mail, if you'd like my new address please DM me, thanks.)

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

2026-04-04T02:05:06Z

We've been without TV since the move (we finally got the TVs hooked up to satellite late today), but I did get our DVD players hooked up, so last night we watched Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, my brother had it on DVD, and surprisingly I enjoyed it. I had avoided it years ago because I had heard it was really bad, and I will admit that it is not as good as the original trilogy, but it wasn't terrible either. I would say its an entertaining mid-level action flick, it just comes after a really well regarded and well loved trilogy so it just can't compare. Anyways, I enjoyed the introduction of Blackbeard, who is a real bastard in this one. The characters of Jack and Barbossa always play well off each other with their frenemies dynamic. I thought how they did the "fountain of youth" concept was neat. I also didn't mind the Missionary/Mermaid subplot. One of the drawbacks of the the film was the forced romance between Jack and Penélope Cruz's character. Jack admits to having corrupted her, but I think it would have been more interesting if she had been a former friend or maybe someone he tricked into becoming part of his crew instead of a former lover. There is also stuff Jack does that he should never have survived or are never fully explained, but you just go with it because it's Jack. Anyways, I'm not sure this is a glowing endorsement or anything, but I just wanted to share because sometimes the stuff you hear is so awful maybe isn't as unwatchable as they make out.

First Quarter Reading Wrap-Up

2026-03-29T00:52:56Z

I'm moving on the 31st, so I'm going do my first quarter reading wrap-up now because I don't think I'll be finishing anymore books in next few days. The first part of the year has actually gone really well, I have read seven books and completed a full series! I'm sometimes terrible about continuing series, so I was very surprised by that. Anyways, here are the books I read:

Magician by K.L. Noone - a sweet M/M fantasy romance, although it also felt very melancholic to me. I don't know if it was the author's intention, but one of the main characters is sort of semi-immortal, or at least lives way longer than any normal person, and he falls in love with a human man. The issue isn't really brought up til near the end of the novel and I wish there had been more internal thought or angst about this issue. That being said I did like the characters a lot and the way the author described the magic was interesting, and almost poetic at times.

The Knight and Necromancer series by A.H. Lee - this is three books, The Capital, The Broader, and The Sea. I'm just going to talk about them together because I read them back to back (and they have kind of smushed together in my head), which is something I rarely ever do, but the story was compelling enough that I wanted to keep reading and I was lucky enough that my library had them all on the hoopla app. So this series is a M/M fantasy romance about a Knight, who is the brother of the Queen, and a newly fledged Necromancer. The Queen is trying to make an alliance between her kingdom and the necromancer's mentor. There is a big bad that is trying to destroy the kingdom, people don't trust necromancers so every time something terrible happens they try and blame it on the necromancer, plus there is demons and dark magic involved. And while all this is going on a romance has developed between the knight and the necromancer. I will say my recurring complaint with this series is that it's heavy on the fantasy and light on the romance. What we get of the romance is good, but I wanted more of it. (This actually the opposite problem of most fantasy romances I've read)

Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson - The main character has a condition similar to the "50 First Dates" movie where she forgets the previous day every time she goes to sleep, only instead of being played for laughs it's treated as the kind of horrific thing that it is here. Anyways, this woman knows something is wrong, and she can't trust her husband, and she knows this because she writes herself a diary and every day she reads it. You follow her as she tries to piece her life back together. There were moments where it felt you were taking two steps forward and one step back, but it makes sense in the context of the story. Overall, a very memorable concept for a mystery.

Justice League, Volume 1: Origin by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee - I was kind of surprised to find this comic volume in a free little library, but I enjoyed it. It is about the formation of the Justice League and these characters meeting for the first time, I think this is part of the new 52. I liked that they had Batman using his head and taking on more of a leadership role, because he is so under powered compared to the rest. I did feel that Superman was out of character though. Overall, lots of action, but it needed more character moments.

The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths - just finished this one today. It was nice mix of modern mystery and Gothic, which isn't easy to pull off. It is very centred on this school where one teacher dies, which leads to another murder, and it's all connected to another teacher at the school. There were three main POVs, I really liked Claire and Harbinder's POVs, one is an upper-middle class teacher and the other is an immigrant working class police detective and they both bring different perspectives to what is going on. My least favourite POV was the teenage daughter, Georgie, but I do think the author did a good job of capturing the feeling of teenager thinking they are way more grown-up than they actually are. Overall, a solid and enjoyable mystery.

Hi, for anyone who is not aware, it appears that spikedluv passed away unexpectedly near the beginning of the month. The information is shared here on a comment on her last post, https://spikedluv.dreamwidth.org/2143159.html#comments, and has a link to her obituary.

spikedluv and I would often comment on each other's posts. I also had the honour of making art for multiple of her fics. She often bid on my offers for Fandom Trumps Hate and other fandom auctions. She was always such a pleasure to work with, and was always delighted by the graphics I created for her.

She loved Hudson & Rex and Murder She Wrote, among many other fandoms.

She will be missed.

Challenge #15

How Did the Fandom Snowflake Challenge Go?

I can't believe it's over already! I will say this year didn't go as well as past years, I didn't complete every challenge, but I did complete most of them. I think the ones I bounced off the most were the "talk about yourself" ones, I just wasn't in the right head space for them. I find those types of questions awkward anyways, I never know what to say. Like if you asked me to talk about my writing, or shows I like, etc, I can always find something to talk about, but stuff like "what do you like about yourself?" and my mind goes blank. I do like myself, I'm just not good about selling myself. I also, I made very few recs this year, in past years it felt like most of my posts were recs.

Anyways, I enjoyed myself and will probably be back again next year.

Snowflake Challenge Day #14

2026-01-27T19:53:42Z

Challenge #14

In your own space, create a promo and/or rec list for someone new to a fandom

I wasn't sure what to do with this at first, I talked about my love for the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films earlier during the snowflake challenge and I've made primers for other things I love for previous challenges, see Dead Boy Detectives and Sherlock & Daughter, so I decided to do something slightly different and try and convince Doctor Who fans to watch the Twelfth Doctor's run, specially his last season.

I've heard many Doctor Who fans say that they bounced right off of Twelve's first season, which I understand, because it was a little rough at first. Plus I know not everyone was a fan of Clara. So, they stopped watching or they skipped it. This is my way of trying to convince you to watch Twelve's last season (series 10).

Title: Doctor Who

Media: Television series

Approx length: 12 episodes plus one special, approx 13 hours (Optional: the two specials before this season "The Husbands of River Song" and "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", they are both fun, and if you like River Song you might want to check out "The Husbands of River Song" as it is River Song's send-off, at least for now).

What is it, in summary?: The Doctor finds himself acting as a Professor at St Luke's University, where he meets Bill, a cafeteria worker who sneaks in to listen to his lectures. All while the Doctor keeps a secret locked in a vault under the university. Bill is the main companion of the season, along with occasionally Nardole, a cyborg who is the Doctor's manservant/keeper.

What do you love about it?: First off, I love Bill, the Doctor and her have a great dynamic. She is impressed by the Doctor, but not in awe of him, and she's not afraid to ask questions, but rarely in a cruel way. At one point Bill pretends that he's her grandfather, which kind of fits. Bill's a lesbian, so there is no romantic tension, none of that, they're just friends.
Nardole is mostly there for comic relief. He is not impressed by the Doctor in the slightest, and he tries his best to keep the Doctor focused and following certain rules, with very little success.
Last, but not least, the third component to this season, that I love so much, is Missy, Missy, Missy! For those who don't know, Missy is the female incarnation of The Master. She was introduced near the end of Twelve's first season, but I don't think you necessarily need that context, you only need to know that this is the Master, and if you know Who at all you know something of their history. One sub-theme in this season is "Can the Master be rehabilitated?"

Content warnings: this kind of depends on the episode, but death, non-consensual body modification, injury, violence

Who do I ship?: First off, I kind of ship Doctor/Master a little bit in any form, but Twelve/Missy above all others. There is all this history and tension between them, but also this softness that neither one of them quite wants to admit to. There is also this yearning for a relationship from them both, but they can't quite trust each other enough to let it happen. There's a real tragedy about it. (Also, the chemistry between Capaldi and Gomez is great.)

I did like Clara, but I do wish that her time on the show had been a little shorter, or that Capaldi had agreed to do a fourth season, because I would have loved to have Bill for longer, and I wanted more time for Twelve and Missy's dynamic to develop, to see if they could build a better relationship between them.

I'm not saying every episode is great, some are much better than others, but I think it deserves so much more love than it gets.

Lastly, let me persuade with some gifs:

Bill:

Twelve, Bill, and Nardole

Missy:

Twelve and Missy (like look at the chemistry!)

Challenge #13

TALK ABOUT A COMMUNITY SPACE YOU LIKE. It doesn’t need to be your favorite, or the one where you spend the most time (although it certainly can be). Maybe it’s even one that you’ve barely visited. But talk about that space and how it helps support fannish community.

Here a few communities I enjoy:

- Holmesian Mantelpiece - this one is over on Tumblr, and its a community for all Sherlock Holmes fandoms. We have fun sharing fanworks and voting on daily trivia
- fancake - is a great reccing community, every month is a different theme, and members share fanworks related to the them
- Fanlore Discord - if you're a fanlore editor come join us on the discord, we chat mostly about editing articles, etc, but also greater fandom stuff
- holmestice - if you're looking for a Hollmes related exchange I highly recommend holmestice, they run two exchanges a year, one in the spring and one in the winter, and its open to all Holmes adaptations. I got a lovely Rathbone Holmes fic last round, plus a nice Granada treat.

Challenge #10: Big Mood (Board)

CHOOSE SOMETHING YOU LOVE AND CREATE A MINI MOOD COLLECTION OF THREE (or more) ITEMS THAT EVOKE YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT IT. You don’t have to limit yourself to visual media, or collect the items into a special format like a square (though you can if you’d like).

So yesterday while doing some editing on Fanlore I found out what a colorbar was and I thought they were kind of neat. So for today's Snowflake Challenge I'm twenty years too late for a trend and made a colorbar for Holmes/Watson:

And yes I do realize one pic is of Basil/Dawson, but they are the mouse equivalent for Holmes/Watson, and I love them.

Snowflake Challenge Day #8 and #9

2026-01-17T21:04:18Z

I've been busy that last few days with wrapping up fandomtrees, so I'm catching up.

Challenge #8

Talk about your creative process.

Oh man, I know some people have very detailed plans when it comes to writing, but I think I'm more of gardener than an architect like George RR Martin used to say. First I usually get a prompt either while doing an exchange or from one of those prompt month challenges like Flufftober, then I think on it for awhile. Once the outline of a scene has formed in my brain then I write it down. Usually I write it out by hand first, then I will type it up on my computer. The only time I skip handwriting is if it is only a drabble, that I might just type up quickly on my computer. Then I let a little time pass (usually a few days) and then reread it and do my revisions. I usually only do one set of revisions, which I know goes against common writing advice, but I don't usually have the patience to wait long for my story to be complete, also exchanges and what not have pretty tight deadlines, depending on the exchange. I normally don't use a beta reader unless it is a requirement.

Challenge #9

Talk about your favorite tropes in media or transformative works. (Feel free to substitute in theme/motif/cliche if "trope" doesn't resonate with you.)

I'm sure I've talked about Hurt/Comfort before, and it's still the goat! I especially love it when the character that doesn't normally get cared for, or is normally the caretaker, is hurt and has to accept care and comfort from another.

I also love Fairy Tale/Fantasy AUs. I'm not even sure why, but if you put my faves in a fairy tale retelling I'll eat that up with a spoon. There was this exchange called Fairy Tale Inspired that I loved, and participated in every year, but unfortunately it stopped running. I thought about running a similar exchange myself, but I have so much on my plate at the moment I don't currently have the time.

I also enjoy a good regency AU, probably because I read so many regency romances years ago. I especially like alternative realities where same sex pairings were accepted at the time.

Lastly, bed-sharing. For some reason the characters have to cuddle up in bed together, yes please! It doesn't even have to lead to sexy times, although a little smut is always a treat. I just love my characters being all cozy together.

Challenge #6

Top 10 Challenge

Okay I originally planned to do a top ten vids list, but I checked and I did that last year and not much has changed. Then I was going to do top ten fics I read in 2025, but they would all be Sherlock Holmes so not very exciting. Finally I thought about listing my top ten Sherlock Holmes adaptations, but then I realized that I haven't watched ten adaptations. So after all that and racking my brain I just thought I'd do something simple and pick my top ten Doctor Who companions!

I will preface this by saying I have only watched New Who and only up til Thirteen's last season. At that point I got sucked into Sherlock Holmes and haven't returned (but I hope to at some point). So this excludes all of Classic Who and Fifteen. I'm also excluding characters like The Master and River Song because they don't quite fit in the companion category for me, and I'm excluding one episode only companions (although we've had a few great ones). Lastly, this is just my personal preference.

10. Graham
9. Yasmin
8. Sarah Jane
7. Clara
6. Amy & Rory
5. Jack
4. Rose
3. Martha

Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!

I wasn't sure I understood this challenge at first, but it looks like people are just sharing cool things they've come across on the internet, so here is a short list of cool things I've come across lately in no particular order:

- Star Wars art from a zine on Fanlore of Han, Leia, Luke and Chewbacca
- Art of Holmes and Watson in their jammies
- It was Sherlock Holmes' birthday yesterday, so please enjoy this vid highlighting all the different actors who have played Holmes throughout the years
- I recently listened to this podcast Curse of: America's Next Top Model, it goes into the show's history and the problematic nature of the show, also did you know the models never even got paid for their time on the show?!
- A poster for the 50th anniversary re-release of Goncharov, the greatest film that never existed
- Angel Aziraphale and Angel Crowley art

Anyways, I could keep going, but I don't want it to be too long. I hope you found something you enjoy!

Fandom Year in Review: 2025

2026-01-06T02:33:40Z

Stole this from lebateleur

Your main fandom last year?
Sherlock Holmes, various adaptations but Holmes in general

Your favorite movie watched last year?
I didn't watch many, but I would say K-Pop Demon Hunters, it's very fun.
However, I also watched all the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films this year and my favourites were The Spider Woman and The Woman in Green.

Your favorite book read last year?
If I can chose a children's book, I'm going to say Basil of Baker Street. I was delighted by it, so many Holmes references, and a good little mystery and adventure story.

Your favorite TV show of the year?
I watched the good chunk of the Granada Sherlock Holmes series year, and I loved it! It's very book accurate, and where they did makes some changes it works out well.
Also, Interview with a Vampire season 2 was fantastic!
But also, I'm currently working my way through Heated Rivalry and I'm enjoying it so far.

Your favorite video game of the year?
I didn't really play any games this year unfortunately. I started The Beekeeper's Picnic, but unfortunately never finished it, but hopefully some day.

Your favorite song, album, or artist to listen to this year?
Song: Golden from K-Pop Demon Hunters (it is such a great sing-along, belt it out type of song)
Album: K-Pop Demon Hunters Soundtrack (so many great bangers on that, although my choices were also slim because I didn't listen to many full albums this year)
Artist: The only one that comes to mind is Chappel Roan, although I think she was more 2024 than 2025, but I was still listening her quite a bit at the beginning of the year

Favorite podcast of the year?
Sherlock & Co (although, I've fallen behind on it). I also enjoy If Books Could Kill.

Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
I guess falling into Sherlock Holmes fandom this year was unexpected, and something I really needed this year to distract me from stuff going on in my life. One of my fave Good Omens authors starting posting Granada Holmes related stuff and it got me to check out the series and I've been in thick of it ever since. I loved the Sherlock Holmes stories as a teen, and there has been some comfort in returning to what I previously loved only in a different way.

Your biggest fandom disappointment?
No real major disappointments I can think of, but that's mostly because I've been sticking with older completed series recently so no newer series that are cancelled after only one season like previous years.

Your TV boyfriend of the year?
John Watson

Your TV girlfriend of the year?
Svetlana from Heated Rivalry, maybe?

Your biggest squee moment of the year?
Can I tell you how times I rewatched The Empty House and the scene where Watson finds out Holmes is alive? Way too many times!

Fandom resolutions for 2026?
I have a lot of IRL stuff happening this year, so I'm putting no pressure on myself when it comes to fandom.

Your biggest fannish anticipations for the new year?
I have no idea, I didn't expect to fall into the fandoms I did this year, so I'm sure I'll be surprised again this year.

Snowflake Challenge Day #3

2026-01-05T18:20:51Z

Write a love letter to fandom. It might be to fandom in general, to a particular fandom, favourite character, anything at all.

I'm having the worst luck with the Snowflake challenge this year, my brain just won't cooperate. I bounced off of the first two challenges, I just couldn't seem to bring myself to do them. So this is my attempt at doing challenge number three.

Okay, I'm going to talk a little about the Sherlock Holmes films starring Basil Rathbone. I watched them back in the autumn and I can't get them out of my head! Firstly I have to say that these are not for everyone, they are not book actuate, most of the films take place in the 1940s, so they were modern adaptations at the time. The characterization of Watson is off, poor Watson comes off as a bit of a bumbler, mostly for comedic effect, although how much he is a bumbler varies depending on the film. Also there are three different actors who play Moriarty!

Taking all that in consideration I still love these films! I wasn't convinced in the beginning, but as the series went on I became hooked. The Holmes & Watson relationship is not like canon, and yet I still came to love their dynamic. I ship Holmes/Watson, like I do for almost every adaptation.

In a way this terrible for me because the fandom for this 1940s film series is so small! There are only 182 works on AO3, and only a tiny handful of writers who write for the fandom, and usually only for challenges like Holmestice. I'm pretty sure I've read almost every Rathbone!Holmes fic on AO3 in the last couple of months.

I'm probably not doing a good job of selling it, but if you like old Hollywood movies, or are a Holmes aficionado who likes to know all the different adaptations maybe give it a chance. One note, these were made mostly during WWII, so be prepared for a sprinkling of war-time propaganda.

Anyways, here is a cute fanvid to maybe sell you on it:
