Author's Summary:

Returning home after leaving his grandfather with the giant aliens, Daniel is fine.


Why This Must Be Read:

This is a Daniel-centric fic, primarily dealing with the SG-1 episode "The Crystal Skull" where Nick stays with the aliens.

Daniel is 'fine' -- for a certain value of fine. It takes Jack to assure Daniel that he won't always be left behind.

Why This Must Be Read: Set in Episode: s07e02 Homecoming, this fic is a somber missing scene between a newly-returned Daniel and Teal'c. I love the way their friendship is shown and how accepting Teal'c is of whoever Daniel may be now, regardless of if he regains his memories, regardless of if he is exactly the same. It's a quiet moment and beautifully done.

Yeah, so I dropped the ball on Fannish 50 ramble after getting into a bit of a funk back in the spring (but having had some holiday since and plans to see family again - think most of you know this but my family is largely scattered across the UK - have got me out of it a bit). But having just finished my latest drabble for [community profile] drabble_zone made me think of something to ramble about.

Is it weird that I have this one particular pairing who I find give me lots of material to work with when it comes to fic (even for graphics at the old [community profile] lands_of_magic community, and yet even as I write them as a pairing, I have to admit that I don't ship them in the slightest and if anything find them toxic as a couple? But much as I never rooted for this pairing I can't help but write them (it probably accounts for about a fifth of my Dark writing, but if you've known me a long time you will know that I try to write a variety of characters rather than concentrate on anyone specific).

(For context: it's Hannah and Ulrich from Dark. The whole history is very complex to explain, including lots of time travel and people being related in ways they have no idea about - this is a show you can't watch and piss about on your phone at the same time if you want to know what's going on, you do need to pay attention. It's one of my ultimate top five fandoms, but I can see why others might find it a lot. In a spoiler-lite version, Hannah's obsession with Ulrich from her schooldays and realisation that he's not going to end his marriage to her best friend to be with her leads her to do a lot of shitty things, she's not well liked among fans. We only get about five minutes glimpse of Hannah in a timeline where Ulrich was never in her life, so it's hard to judge what she's like without any of that history).

Experiencing Pride (100 words) by Sharpest_Asp
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Captain America [Movies]
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Steve Rogers/James "Bucky" Barnes [MCU]
Characters: Steve Rogers, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes
Additional Tags: Drabble, Pride Parades
Summary:

Pride Parade for the reunited couple.



Experiencing Pride

"I think you'd look good in that," Bucky murmured in Steve's ear, discreetly calling attention to some of the leather crowd.

Steve snorted. "Not really my style, but maybe for a night," he answered, still taking in the whole pageant of queer life on display, eyes roving over the ones that were shyly experiencing it, and those openly embracing it.

"D'you read the history?"

"Hell of a thing," Steve agreed with that respectful tone. "Still a long way to go," he added as he spotted the trouble spoiling for a fight. Bucky looked, and the pair made their way over.

I made this black cocoa loaf cake yesterday, and followed it exactly as written despite some skepticism, which turned out to be warranted, because the middle of the loaf collapsed as it cooled. Even as I was measuring out 1 TBSP of baking powder(!!!), I was like, this seems excessive, but maybe it's because the cocoa is so alkalinized??? So I might cut that back slightly to 1.5 or 2 tsps if I make it again, which I might, because the flavor is good, despite all that baking powder. I didn't bother with the ganache since I don't have room in the fridge for the cake. But it would also disguise that kind of collapse, so if I were serving it to other people I probably would make it.

It's been gray and cool since last night, but it hasn't rained yet, so I've been able to keep the windows open. I did have to use the AC a couple times last week, especially to sleep, and I'll put it on again when necessary, but it was nice just using the fan last night.

Anyway, work remains busy, the world is on fire, but the Mets stay winning! Gotta take the little joys while you can...

Jesus Fucking Christ

It's already been bad for days out in LA, and now the motherfuckers are deploying marines there? Marines? The actual military?

It's only a matter of time - days? - before they send them into my city. Fuck. My neighborhood might not be as heavily Hispanic as Pilsen or Humboldt Park, but Rogers Park has a big enough undocumented community that ICE thugs have already been reported hanging around; at least that's the report. Last week I hoped it was just a fear-fueled rumor. Now?

Sorry for the swearing; but not too sorry. The moment calls for it.

A summer ago, Nan's best friends went into a canyon and never returned. The town thinks they are dead. Nan knows they are dead – she killed them, after all. But then one of them returns.

I really liked this for the most part. Nan is an interesting narrator: unreliable, vindictive and possessive. She is filled with jealousy, is furious that one of the girls survived her murder. It's really fun to see things through her eyes.

I loved the scene when Nan reunites with the surviving girl, that was so good. In other places, the writing felt a bit too self-aware though that may be because Nan herself is so obsessed with the fact that she killed her friends and is so angry that it didn't work out.

Nan is the villain but the other fun part about this is: She isn't actually good at being the villain. And I loved how that unravels, how useless she really is in the grand scheme of things.

So yeah, fun and very interesting read.

Put on Nazi Agent as background noise while doing some research (even if it breaks me every time), and wondered:


  • Do we even know how Otto got that scar? Hmmm... plot bunnies...

  • That ending speech... Oh, that American hypocrisy, right?

  • Speaking of the ending, I keep thinking about how Otto will be sent to a concentration camp, and probably executed. Which is why it breaks my heart so much. Once again, Connie plays a character who sacrifices everything for what he thinks is right.

Cat Herding: Our beloved Jinksy!bear turned twelve on Saturday. Twelve! He's (by a margin of a good few years) the second-oldest cat I've ever had, and continues to be just the sweetest, softest boy. May he be with us in good health for years to come.

It was also Claudia's birthday, of course, and I always think of her on their birthday. Oh, my darling baby cat.

*The oldest was Jenny, the cat of my childhood who was still with my parents for years after I moved out. She made it to nineteen, most of that time in rock-solid health, and never really forgave me for moving to Toronto and thus straight-up vanishing from her life for months at a time.

Reading: I finished reading Jennifer 8 Lee's The Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food, which remained an interesting read right through, and read Adrian Tchaikovsky's City of Last Chances, which I think is only the second thing of his I've read? (Elder Race is the other one I'm sure of.) Having finished it, I'm in a position that's annoyingly familiar, where I liked the book quite a bit and am curious about what happens next, but am not sure I cared enough that I'll ever actually get around to picking up the sequel.

(The thing where I've almost entirely been reading books I own for years now doesn't really help, where I've often picked up the first book of a trilogy of series or whatever on sale in ebook because I've heard it's good, and then am not sure I'm invested enough to pay full price on the next one when I own literally hundreds of yet-unread books. Feh.)

Watching: [personal profile] scruloose and I are up to date on Murderbot and have seen the first episode of Kingdom season 2.

Working: Thank goodness the manga I'm working right now is (as usual) a fairly easy rewrite and not a tight deadline, because scrounging the mental energy for freelance work has been frustratingly hard recently. I'm almost halfway through my draft and have about a week and a half left with it, so it's fine, but. :/

Weathering/Householding: We've had a lot of gray days and some high-ish temperatures combined with humidity (which I hate), and the air quality, while not remotely as bad as it is in a lot of places, has been fluctuating significantly...and the AC function of the heat pumps is essentially nonfunctional. >.< This is crappy timing, given how much of the time over the last several days has required having the windows closed (and the air purifiers running for good measure, although they don't address some of the nastiness from wildfire smoke). And for bonus fun, while the heat pumps are still under warranty, the company we bought them from went under a few months ago, which complicates things. (I think possibly the main person died. :/)

That said, [personal profile] scruloose made a bunch of calls today and we have reason to hope that someone can come in and take a look at them soon, if that particular company has the parts in stock. And while it's been uncomfortably warm inside some of the time because of this, at least it's not full summer yet. Hopefully we can get things dealt with by the time summer heat arrives in earnest.

And on a purely pleasant note, a couple nights ago we were in a phase of "somehow the air quality is fine outside right now, so we can just open the windows and run fans" while it was pleasantly cool and raining atmospherically and the wind was doing a wonderful job of wafting the smell of the lilacs into the living room.

I'm still alive! Here are three quick things:

(1) Remember when I wouldn't shut up about The Way Home, the humble little drama that nobody watched and that was the only thing I put into my eyeballs this year until Legend of Zang Hai*? Remember the RPF ship it spawned, briefly mentioned (with pictures) in this post?

Anyway, the actors did a brand livestream last month, in which they mostly played couple games and talked about the skincare on offer for about two minutes total, and one of the gifts they received from the brand was a beach vacation FOR TWO anywhere in the world. Also, they live together. From this massive sigh, I think we can safely assume that Zhang Kangle does most of the cooking and cleaning. (Also, when asked for something that recently made them happy, Ma Boquan said they went on a walk late one night, with very few people around, and it made him feel very content. Then later he posted this video of Zhang Kangle doing a cartwheel on the deserted sidewalk.)

So like. You tell me. What this is.

(2) I'll be in Singapore and Hong Kong later this year! Flights are booked, hotels are booked, I wish it was November already! I haven't had an overseas vacation since, uh, 2019. 😬 Not looking forward to the flights, but oh, the food and the fandom friends and the change of scenery! 😍



(3) Three years ago, I made a daily Zhu Yilong calendar for myself, which turned out to be a lot more work than expected, but resulted in something very nice (I think) and endlessly reusable. I mean, until the corners get too scuffed, or the colors fade, or something. It looks like this (brand new vs. in use, plus some inside pages):

Four pictures



I mentioned to [personal profile] marycrawford that I was trying to make an updated version, with new pictures and only using photoshoots and no drama/movie characters or events mixed in, and she said she'd be interested in buying one once it was done. It's not done yet (365 pictures is SO MANY), but if you're also interested, here's my offer.

I use this company to print the calendar, which usually costs $75, although they frequently have sales (usually around US holidays) where things are 15% or 20% off. If interested, let me know, and I can ping you when a) it's done, and b) there's a sale going on. Then I can just ship it to your address. Obviously I make no money from this.


And that's all for now. Hi! <3

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question: We all probably have multiple WiPs, but which of yours has been hanging around longest, waiting to be finished?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.
