Jan. 24th, 2026 07:55 pmthisbluespiritSome things that I have had stashed away for a little while:
1.sovay very kindly sent me a copy of Exit Through the Fireplace by Kate Dunn, which was waiting for me at the new house when I got here. It is about repertory theatre with lots of accounts on every aspect from actors and others involved, including a lot of people I have watched in old telly, so I enjoyed it a lot.
But having only recently before tried to make a post explaining what I loved about Terence Rattigan's plays, including floundering about trying to say how effective his dialogue is, I was v pleased to find this quote:
John Moffatt: (On being in rep, and the difficulty of remembering the lines, doing a new play every week): "You got to know who the good writers were. With Rattigan you barely had to learn it at all, even after just blocking it you almost knew it because it is so beautifully written. The only way to reply to something that has just been said is what he's written."
2. Talking of people being kind,swordznsorcery wrote me a lovely Sapphire & Steel story with a new Element and a stealth crossover very RTMI here, and if you also like S&S, I recommend taking a look, as it's great! <3
3. The book I was reading introduced me to the utterly untrue but very S&S like urban myth/ghost story of the Zanetti Train. Sounds like an Assignment to me, or a film I would watch, anyway. (It seems to have been taken from a Ukrainian work of fiction, most likely - certainly not one detail of it has any truth in it).
4. Making personalised bingo cards proved to be exactly in my wheelhouse right now, so I had fun with that. If anyone missed it the other day and would like one, feel free to still ask! (Here or there, whatever).
5. Random AO3 tag found while wrangling that is currently amusing me: It is literally just Twelfth Night but with Moomins.
Otherwise still slowly progressing and all that etc etc etc.

New Year, Same Me?
Jan. 23rd, 2026 05:26 pmsetsuntamewWhich is to say...mental health has beaten my ass down so badly the past 6 months that I basically dropped off the (digital) earth. Work was busy up until the store I was working at shut down, so I got all the stress of retail during the holidays and having to do store closing stuff!!! GREAT!!!!!!!! And then without the structure of work, I fell off of taking my meds and have been struggling basically since the beginning of the year.
anyway.
I'm not gonna make promises about being on top of things again, but I do want to try to, since dreamwidth really helped me keep track of time when I was unemployed last year.
So. idk where I'm going here, but I will hopefully see y'all around some more ♥

Challenge #12
Make an appreciation post to those who enhance your fandom life. Appreciate them in bullet points, prose, poetry, a moodboard, a song... whatever moves you!
I'm terrible with posts like this, but here goes. Thank you to everyone who follows me and leaves comments on my posts. Thank you to everyone who does the Book Bingo with me. Aand last but not least, thank you to all my fellow Fanlore editors, there aren't a lot of us, but we toil away trying our best to archive fandom history.
Anyways, please enjoy this multifandom dance vid I found on the net:
5 new icons for my 100ships table
Jan. 23rd, 2026 07:29 pmtinnyTaking the opportunity to do ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
100ships as was intended: multishipping Wu Lei. :)
Five new icons - hover for fandom and pairing:
* 1) I keep thinking Wu Lei's dog is called Xiao Bai (bai means white), but it's called Xiaobei. No matter, the dog is white. :D
* 3) This is from the Dongji press tour. In all the pics I have, no exceptions, Zhu Yilong is between Wu Lei and Ni Ni. Sorry, z1l, I had to cut you out of this one.
* 4) Made from my favorite Zhao Lusi/Wu Lei manip (I am nearly 100% sure that it is a manip, but I did not make it and I don't know who did, sorry).
* 5) The text (black on black, hard to read) says "Fly to your side".
The table is here: https://tinny.dreamwidth.org/704185.html. There are currently 53 icons in it.
I'm happy to receive all kind of comments, including concrit! All icons shareable. Credit for brushes and textures I use can be found here in my resource post.

Instant vid rec.
Jan. 23rd, 2026 03:21 pmgoodbyebirdThe Black Phone is a film that's vaguely been on my list of things to see for a few years now, but I never got around to it. This vid slaps though! Highly recommend watching with the lights dimmed and headphones on. Such good build and atmosphere.

Perfervid Antagonism
Jan. 23rd, 2026 10:54 pmmagnavox_23I am having a sense of saudade at there never being the possibility of someone writing bad fic where Jack invites Daniel over to watch this new hockey show everyone is excited about, and then they find out exactly why…
…rated explicit, natch.
Also, don’t invent naughty hockey games over messenger involving sack tapping a puck on the ice.

PTW - January
Jan. 23rd, 2026 07:39 pmautumninplutoSome things I wanna watch soon in no particular order (a.k.a. I opened Netflix and so many things caught my interest and now I gotta list them all or else I'll forget):
- Sunshine (2024)
- Recommended by one of my Bsky mutuals. My partner doesn't really seem interested so I might watch this by myself.
- 100 Meters / ひゃくえむ。 (2025)
- Looking forward to this since I also loved Uoto's other work, Orb.
- Dead Poets Society (1989)
- Leaving Netflix soon, apparently, so I need to kick my dang ass into gear lol
- In the Mood for Love (2000)
- Not on Netflix, but I've wanted to watch this for a while. It's so intriguing, plus it was also mentioned in the fic I'm currently reading. Fun fact, I have a 花樣年華 tattoo because of the BTS album "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life", but this is the same Chinese title for "In the Mood for Love".
- Cosmic Princess Kaguya! / 超かぐや姫！ (2026)
- Saw it on Netflix, looks interesting, highly rated on MAL.
- Love through a Prism (2026)
- Netflix-original ONA, also highly rated on MAL (unfortunately I treat this fuckass site's ratings like the word of God as it hasn't really failed me yet), but more importantly: PERIOD DRAMA. I'm a sucker for period dramas and my eyes just zoomed in on the "1900s London" mention in the summary.
- Miss Kobayashi's Maid Dragon / 小林さんちのメイドラゴン (series)
- I've watched the 1st season, but not the 2nd one, and the movie that released last year. The first season was the closest to happiness I have ever felt in my life, and when the season ended, I thought I'd never smile again. (exaggeration, but that's how much joy it brought me) I don't know why I didn't jump at the opportunity to watch S2 when it was released, but I must catch up now!

Me just screaming NO as Armand claims a song for himself.
Jan. 22nd, 2026 03:40 pmgoodbyebird( Like, this really shouldn't work? But now it's an Armand song? I can't make it not be! )
Also, a fun game some yt channels play is picking a deck for each of the characters in a show they love, and to me Mio Im's Tarot screams Armand. It's got something to do with the sparse nature of it, the limited bone/dust gray palette, obviously all the bones hehe.

Snowflake Challenge Day #11
Jan. 21st, 2026 07:06 pmkingstoken
Challenge #11
In your own space, grant someone's wish from Challenge #5. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your own post with the wishes you granted if you feel comfortable doing so.
I went through the wishlists and mostly gave recs, music for snowynight and kanadka, books for skytintedwater, podcasts for queer-scribbling, and a movie for cypresssunn.
In somebody else's story.
Jan. 21st, 2026 03:19 pmgoodbyebird+ I'm so behind on Snowflake Challenge, and don't really have time to put in the effort I'd like or see all the cool entries. Boo work. If the Make A Challenge rolls around again, I've come up with a low effort entry; the big one will have to wait until next year.
+ Last night's dreams were a wild mess, featuring: a matrilineal sex cult, a documentary about comedians working on a SNL clone that got big after the show (with commentary), a musical number about period poops to the tune of I wanna dance with somebody. Not featured: me.
I haven't had the time or energy to read or watch anything this trip, I think my brain is lodging a complaint?
+halfamoon is a fourteen day challenge celebrating female characters in fandom, and they're looking for volunteers to sign up for a calendar day (not a theme day) and read/view/appreciate the contributions for that day.
+ (saved for myself to look over later) European alternatives for popular services.
+ Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills (inc HHS and Ed).
+ Anti-Aging Injection Regrows Knee Cartilage and Prevents Arthritis.
In the study, the injectable treatment not only rebuilt cartilage but also stopped arthritis from developing after knee injuries similar to ACL tears, which are common among athletes and active adults. A pill-based version of the same therapy is already being tested in clinical trials aimed at treating muscle weakness associated with aging.
+ X-Files Reboot: Ryan Coogler Shares Exciting Plot Update.
“It wouldn’t be X-Files if we didn’t do both,” Coogler said about the show’s format. “We intend on having both monsters of the week and also the overarching conspiracy.”
If this man brings us back monster of the week shenanigans? PRAISE BE.
