I have managed to unfuck a story I haven't progressed on in months by chopping off a chapter, changing my view on what the pairing situation was, and digging back in.

\o/ 30K on that one so far! Let's see what happens next.

*

In other news, Journavx, a new med, appears to do a pretty good job on my migraine pain. Now if I can figure out how to get more than 15 of the buggers, we'll be in business. It's only prescribed for acute pain, and mine is chronic, so prior authorization isn't a thing my insurance company is going for.

Given that, I am going to go back to the old standby painkiller for the evening. Another dance with Mary Jane.

It's the last fannish 50 of the year

Normally around now I'd be doing my year in review of all the stories I wrote but I don't think I'm going to do that this year. Almost no one here is in my current fandoms and I ran a lot of the stories here so those who were going to read them probably have already. I haven't seen anyone else doing any end of the year stuff yet either so I'm sure I'll be doing something.

Instead I thought I'd throw it open to everyone what's your most current fandom that's eating your brain. Talk about. Tell us why. I don't care if it's one you've been faithful to for 30 years or one you found this weekend, let's hear about it.

Here's mine. The Amazing Digital Circus What? You expected it to be Hazbin Hotel right? Well that's true but I've talked about it a lot. While I am not as actively writing TADC (nor do I plan to) I love this weird animation. I will say much like other shows I love (Prodigal Son, Hazbin) that it took until episode 3 for me to really get into it. That's the same here and that's why I'm putting that episode here. It's still my favorite.

TADC is interesting because you have such personalities in it, Kinger whose mind is so damaged he can't function except in the dark where things are quieter, Ragatha of the toxic positivity and people pleasing. Zooble with body dysmorphia, Gangle with depression, Jax with some kind of trauma that has made him an asshole and into this comes Pomni, the latest person sucked into the game that is the circus, who turns into the group therapist after a fashion. Running the game is Caine, the AI that is having his own psychotic episode.

It's 3-D animation which I generally do not like but the story telling is very interesting once it hits its stride. It's also free over here on Youtube (I know, I know)




I did get my meds in theory. It was the doctor who missed the request in the system. She fixed it within the hour. But there was a lot of snow today. Probably more tomorrow but I'll have to go to CVS regardless as tomorrow my insurance ends.

I did a lot of work on my classes. Still so much more to do. Ugh, I always do this, put it off to the last minute.

My partner and I don't really do Christmas because of our combined childhood and family trauma. But I suspected she'd gotten me a little gift and I was struggling to think of something to gift her in return. Then the December check in here prompted the idea to make her something.

Partner had mentioned that she wanted to do some cross stitching over the holidays, and I've always wanted to make a cross stitch project bag. So that's what I did!

cassiope25: Typical Rodney meme, wrong-wrong-wrong (Rodney meme 1)
[personal profile] cassiope25 posting in [community profile] stargateficrec
Show: SGA

Rec Category: Rodney McKay
Characters: Rodney, Radek, John, Evan, Laura, Chuck
Pairings: /
Categories: gen, multi, romance, humor
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Words: 4,588
Author's Journal: [personal profile] anagrrl
Author's Website: Anagrrl on AO3
Link: Romance on the High Seas

Author’s summary: "Where did all these flowers come from?" Rodney asks. They're everywhere. On tables. On desks. Large, blousy flowers, small pointed flowers, round edged flowers. Bunches of them in plain, clear vases, or in tall planters that have suddenly appeared in corners and crannies. They're even in the transporters, little bouquets affixed to the wall.
Or - Atlantis has a plan. A romance plan.

Why This Must Be Read: This lovely story by Anagrrl revolves around a sentient Atlantis that is trying to figure out what it takes to bring people together and, ultimately, increase its population. It’s endearing, heartwarming, and utterly delightful to read about all the different plans for getting under people’s skin and into their heads—or rather, their hearts. And it’s surprising, or perhaps not surprising at all, that Rodney, normally considered insensitive to subtleties, is the one who senses that Atlantis is seeking contact and wants to take care of it :)

2025 retrospective: I think there's a strong argument to be made that this has been the worst year of my life, but it's not going to keep the title, so actually making it seems too much like giving too much of an invitation to that Simpsons meme. (This one. Like I'm already in the that Simpsons meme zone but I don't have to set the table for it.) So I'm going to ignore the year and just try to finish random book posts before it actually ends.

I read these ones over the last year, several of them literally last winter, so this post is a mix of sentences I barely remember typing and sentences I typed while barely remembering the books. I should probably also mention that I have no actual knowledge of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

King Leopold's Ghost, Adam Hochschild

A library book sale had this a while back, and I'd been meaning to read it for a while. It's a sort of meandering narrative approach to the PR rise and PR fall of Leopold's atrocities in the Congo: the book follows the figures warring over public opinion around the Congo more than the rubber terror itself, which is bad enough seen around the edges. the rest under a cut )

Link: A Wake-Up Crash

Author’s summary: John didn’t so much wake up, as slide bumpily into consciousness, by a process of painful degrees.
At some point he remembered he had eyes and how to open them, so he tried that, just for kicks.
It went badly.

Why This Must Be Read: If you love great whump and big emotions, this endearing fic by WonkyElk is just right for you.
You’ll laugh, your heart will ache, and you’ll suffer with them—but in the end, you’ll be happy with our two idiots in love. Of course, Rodney assumes the worst about getting into a relationship and has to be convinced by John… that is, once John has convinced himself to come out to Rodney in the first place. So go and read—this will absolutely brighten your day.

As you may know, soon after filming Heated Rivalry, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie made an audio erotica recording for the company quinn (available on mobiles as an app). It's an originally written audio porn paid subscriber app with largely male performers, mostly M/F stories (and most of those second person listener-insert), but with a few M/M and F/F offerings.

The Hudcon story is Ember and Ice, clearly intended as HR AU romantasy fanfic, where Finn (Hudson), and Dane (Connor) are rival fae princes, alternately fucking or at war with each other. Their HR personalities are maintained as Hudson is the dutiful, serious prince who only fucks Connor, and Connor is the promiscuous bisexual prince with daddy issues. It is, of course, a love story, just with a lot of explicit sex. The story's laughable overall, but no more poorly-written than a lot of fanfic, even if the worldbuilding leaves a lot to be desired. But that's not why we're here: we're here for Hudson and Connor delivering breathy porn dialogue with absolutely no fade to black. Overall, they both do the sex noises very well but I think Hudson is just a tad more uninhibited and realistic, especially nearing orgasm. Which fits with his persona from the press tour.

Hilariously, Ember and Ice has been so successful in the full frenzy of HR fandom that the quinn app crashed for a while yesterday with too many panting fans trying to sign on and sign in. Thus we now have wonderful tumblr posts like this.

Hudson and Connor also did a photoshoot for Ember & Ice, with tasteful dollar-shop gilt and silver wings to demonstrate their fae origins.

Two young men in jeans and singlets sitting entwined on an obviously fake mossy knoll with a small tree behind. Each has a small set of fake filigree wings on his back.


They must be having a ball! I love that they're undoubtedly giggling about all this and revelling in the nonsense, but their demeanour in the photoshoot and their voice acting in Ember & Ice is quality work, 100% professional (especially the sex noises).

And naturally, there's already a story in the Ember and Ice fandom on AO3, the fandom tag so new it hasn't been categorised yet. I predict many more!

ETA: more evidence! "I hope they get a really satiating love story", ha!

1. Just one more work day this week!

2. Today was mostly dry with a brief bit of rain late morning, but starting tomorrow we're supposed to have several wet days, possibly a whole week. I'm hoping it will be lighter than last week and mostly overnight. We'll see!

3. We had curry ramen for dinner tonight and it was so good. Carla discovered this one brand last year that has a bunch of different flavors, all of which she likes, but I've only tried the curry and now it's all I'm interested in having lol.

4. I finished this cute winter cats puzzle today.



I'm going to challenge myself with a 1000 piece one next, so we'll see how that goes.

5. Jasper really loves this lumpy basket in the bathroom lately. We got it several months ago to put the hair dryer in and no one cared about it at first, but then after washing the bathmat, I put it on top of the basket and suddenly everyone wanted to be in there (well, mainly Ollie and Jasper). Lately Jasper has been sleeping in there most nights, too.

recap: this project is inspired by "Montpeyroux Sonnets 7" by Marilyn Hacker. "Montpeyroux Sonnets 7" is a poem in the form of a series of sonnets in a cycle where the last line of each sonnet is more or less the first line of the next one. after re-reading it at the end of last year, i thought it might be fun to write a poem per month with each leading into the next. this is the final set of four.
