Man, I don't know what's wrong with me lately, or why I can't seem to dredge up the energy to come update this thing.

Life's been more or less pretty steady. Work, care for the home, spend time with partner and dog. We haven't really done anything interesting since our little two-day trip to Minneapolis.

We did, however, go with Blair's sister and brother-in-law to see Iron Lung today, which was exciting as a long-time fan of Markiplier. It was so much better than I expected, and we all enjoyed it. Proud of that guy. He's good people, and he worked so long, and so hard, for this.

I'm excited for Blair's upcoming birthday, which is on February 12th, and then of course for Valentine's Day, as it will be our first ever Valentine's Day spent together in person.

It's been cold and snowy. I still find snow flurries magical, and I'm acclimating to the frigid climate quite nicely, I think.

Challenge #14

In your own space, create a promo and/or rec list for someone new to a fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

The Saga of the Exiles by Julian May is a SFF book series about life in the 22nd century. Aliens contacted us and we're now part of their galactic alliance. Everything is fairly stable, but for those who don't fit in, there's a one-way time gate in France that takes you back six million years to prehistoric France.

This attracts misfits, petty criminals and others who don't fit in modern life, who want something simpler. The only thing is... no one knows exactly what they'll find when they go back to the past.

The books follow a group of eight people who are going through the time gate because they're running towards or away from something.

Disclaimer: This series was written in the '80's, so some things have dated badly. But some of the characters might stay rent-free in your heads for quite a while!

The series was almost made into a movie or TV series and there was an animated promotional trailer made (spoilers if you haven't read the books).

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.

I like the DW community fandomweekly because it celebrates writing and fandom - it has a weekly challenge that you write fan fiction / original fiction for. There's no pressure and at the end of each one you get to vote on your favourite story. If you like, you can post it on A03 in the community set up for it.

So, there seems to be something odd going on with Dreamwidth right now -- I can't put account links for more than one community and some of my sentences are actually disappearing when I try, no matter if I use HTML or Rich Text options. Weird. So, no links.

I've been busy busy busy, mostly writing fills for Three-Sentence-Ficathon.

So, how do you go about participating in 3SF? I mostly fill and I find it hard to come up with prompts, although I try to do some. I just go browsing through the pages reading the prompts and wait for one to jump out at me. I usually get an idea right away, then I go and write it. If it doesn't grab me immediately, I usually just skip over it. If I see a rare fandom I'm familiar with, though, I like to try and write something for it, because I know what it's like to be desperate for fic in a non-existent fandom. 3SF is a great way to fulfill those wishes.

pipe bombs in perth

Finally on the 26th of January ("Australia Day"), there was an Indigenous protest march in Perth.

During the march, someone threw a pipe bomb into the crowd. It was packed with metal shards and nails and suchlike. He failed to light it correctly so it didn't explode.

He was white. He was a he. That's all we know about it. And even that was mostly reported by the people who bring online news commentary, rather than mainstream media. (I saw it first with Cheek Media, myself.) You know why? Because "we aren't putting out his name because he is accused of..."

FUCK THAT SIDEWAYS WITH A RUSTY SPORK.

They had ZERO compulsion about publishing the names of the Bondi terrorists.

But a terrorist action done by a white guy? (It wasn't even billed as 'a terrorist action'. Well, excuse me for bloody well thinking that a FUCKING HOMEMADE PIPE BOMB tossed into a group of people who are supporting a particular racial identity isn't 'a terrorist action'.)

Oh no, can't publish his name!

conservatives, right wing, and please let our electoral system hold

In other political news in Australia, our 'right wing' is going down. Hard. Not only is their current leader (she's technically a "conservative moderate" and has lasted since the election) on the way out, but the Racists And Arseholes Party (known more conventionally as 'Pauline Hanson's One Nation') is on the rise - at least in sentiment. Whether that sentiment can gather the centre-to-right-wing conservatives in Australia is another question.

Our holding institutions right now are pretty much the Australian Electoral Commission and common decency, but how long those will hold is another matter. Watching what is happening in the US, being told what is happening by billionaires who own all the media properties, having a point of view RAILROADED through thanks to a lack of media discernment, and general outrage headlines...

I can't see my conservative friends here in my electorate (strongly conservative - one of the very few suburban electorates that hasn't gone "Teal") voting PHON. And they have to vote, and they can vote for the "least worst" option - ie. preferences. Plus, we have a very large percentage of "not born here" Aussies in this electorate, possibly one of the reasons that Old Guy down the road (and a bit further in) has his house decorated with PHON and Trump flags. Yes, Trump flags. In Australia.

Great moogly googly.

Anyway, we know the guy - he stumped up on Election Day 2025, put his little sandwich board up, stuck a plastic sleeve with the "Trumpet Of Patriots" party 'how to vote' card on, and went away.

That sleeve was touched pretty much twice. Once by one of us volunteers for the other parties gingerly looking to see what they'd recommended (even the conservative volunteers were eyeing it like it was fresh dogshit), and then once by a woman from the AEC whose job it was to go around collecting the 'how to vote' cards for each party in each electorate, so that the AEC could archive them.

We left the sandwich board after we packed everything away, and it was gone the next night.

In the end, hard right-wing support isn't non-existent, and probably never will be, but the current state of world politics, where right wing conservative parties get hollowed out by hard right wing racist fucks is sincerely worrying. I've never thought Australia is immune, but it's a worrying trend to finally witness happening, even if nothing comes of it. Grievance politics is hell on the system.

Maybe it mitigates with mandatory enrolment and preferential voting - we can hope - but if it does, that's on the system and the institution, not on anything else. Heaven knows the parties and the politicians are NOT HELPING.

NOT. HAPPY. JAN.

Time has been flying by so fast that I think we need to start giving it speeding tickets b/c DAMN GURL DHSJKDHJSKD

Jokes aside and whether we like it or not, February's here (and hopefully not with too much BS in tow xD). Still taking things a day at a time, and therapy has been going really well, too, so there's that!

I wanna try and get back into writing again, especially now that Arknights Enfield has thrown a new ship at me (Carrying the love for Wulfgard x Male Endmin on my BACK DHSJKJDS). Slowly but surely getting there. Not sure if anyone else has gone through this but I've been in more of a reading mode than a writing mode lately, so maybe it'll all work out in the end and I'm just worrying too much as usual. xD I just miss writing for OCs and blorbos and just want my writing juju to return from the war...orz

Anyways, I'll leave y'all with a Bandcamp album I found recently and have shamelessly had on repeat (alongside XG's new album "CORE" xD). Speaking of which, Bandcamp Friday is coming up, so get your wishlists ready and support some cool artists!! ^ o^)/

Take care out there, y'all, and know that I'm cheering for ya! WE GOT THIS!! ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ

anyway. something that happened in january is i got hooked on pwhl. i have no idea what's happening at any point of it, but i guess that'll come eventually.

aflaminghalo

it's amusing now. two weeks after complimenting my boots, my mum has a new pair of very familiar looking boots. "do you like them?"

and apparently the only thing keeping her out of jeans like mine is that she can't get flares that aren't massive. i don't wear flares and i'm just not about to remind her that bootcuts exist.

it's easier to have pity for her now than it was when i was younger. having that friend who copies everything you do and wrecks everything you do that they don't like is even worse when it's your mum.

I finally sat down to watch this thing. Here are my thoughts/notes as I watched it. CW: Given the subject matter of this remake, I will be discussing fictional CSA, though not in a graphic way.

——
— Okay, I’m vibing with the aesthetic of this diner

— Not a terrible opening dream sequence. Not necessarily the most creative, but has some okay creepy imagery.

— Okay, I’ll grant that the opening first kill was also decent. It’s a jarring introduction into this remake and sets a dark tone.

— UGLY BAD CGI.

It is surprising how much I ended up doing considering December is one of those months that’s full of nonsense. (And there’s usually good tv that sidetracks me too, which it did.)

It’s funny just how many Treehouse Of Horror eps I managed to watch, I still need to finish the run I was doing with them (I only managed, as you’ll see, a few in January.)

I also finished a game, I think in one or two nights, with A Game About Digging A Hole. I only did it originally as a gamepass quest game (each month you get bonus points for playing 15 mins at least of 8 games) but I just… kept going. It’s one of those games where it’s very much… the title says it all about it.

Cinema films were a wild variety but I did like most of them. And of the other films I saw I really really thought Strange Harvest was great.

I also did manage to finish a fic, but I dunno. My heart was in it as I did it and I had hoped it’d lead to more and just… didn’t. Eh. (I know it’s partly cause of irl stuff but partly my confidence is so… eh)

Ended up listening to a bunch of Who audios this time. First a two partner which I finally listened to cause of watching Brain Of Morbius. It was quite a good two parter for the most part. then I put on ninth doctor ones, one I got with the Who magazine one set I picked upon sale. And damn the way it opened with the new series theme really took me back. I still need to finish the last story on the boxset though.

I had started Heated Rivalry and, despite loving the first ep I just haven’t watched more and I dunno why. I really should watch more. The landscape Artist of the year was an ep we missed cause of the traitors and… someone used AI. Like ?? What. They used it for a reference of a palace guard and I was like ?? Just look for one? I’m so….

Other than that there was Stranger Things (I’ve posted thoughts on that, though admitted I’ve become more soured on it over time), Seven Dials (which I really enjoyed) and other stuff I’ve mentioned in posts. Horrors Greatest was the last of the things I watched and I loved that The Loved Ones and Ghost Watch got shout outs. I need to watch that again.

While I didn’t finish a book I did get back to Halloween Party.

I’m surprised I watched so many cinema films, especially cause I didn’t see Anaconda till late cause of everything.

Hopes for this month
*Watch more Heated Rivalry
*Finish Welcome To Derry
*Start The Beauty
*Watch The House With Laughing Windows
*Cinema - Cold Storage definitely, hopefully the new Looney Toons, maybe other things
*Finish Halloween Party
*Finish Pokémon ZA

For the prompt, any/any kissing in the rain, at

threesentenceficathon

This one can be readers' choice of fandom even though I definitely had a specific ship in mind when I wrote it. 😉

Author: Cat Moon
Words: 129
Rating: G
Summary: They don’t notice the rain, only each other
Note: In one of those weird coincidences, as I read this prompt and started writing it, "It's Just the Rain" by Journey came on randomly, lending atmosphere and title (but not thematic inspiration).

( Just the Rain )

Current Mood: determined

thisbluespirit

I continue to make slow progress with recovering, which is very dull, but still generally in the right direction, however hard it is to be patient. I haven't been able to keep up much at all here, only in bits and pieces.

However, I realised I was behind with crossposting

rainbowfic pieces, and I can do that:

Name: Turn To Dust
Story: Starfall
Colors: Warm Heart #25 (Spite); Azul #9 (Willpower); Colour of the Day - 30/10/2025 (Wheedle)
Supplies and Styles: Charcoal + Chiaroscuro + Graffiti (for October Challenge incl. bonus prompt "Psychological Horror") + Novelty Beads ("But I am alive. And I am not afraid." from

bookblather for Birthday Prompts 2021).
Word Count: 3808
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Mental manipulation, threat, injury, death.
Notes: Portcallan, 1313. Leion Valerno, Donn Chiulder, Tana Veldiner. (This isn't Psychological Horror as a genre per se, but I thought taken as a prompt, it fitted too perfectly not to use for this).
Summary: Leion faces his worst nightmare.

3. What are you looking forward to right now? IF you can't think of anything, what could you do to change it?

I'm looking forward to working on my challenges for

fandom_empire. I love Sundays because of that. They're usually up by now, but sometimes it's a little later than other Sundays. I hope I have some good prompts to work with today. Woot. I'm also looking forward to making some moodboards, which I love. I look forward to many things every day, so this one was pretty easy for me. I joined some new communities and want to make something for each of them. I love DW and their communities.
