Festivids!

starlady: Kermit the Frog, at Yuletide (yuletide)
[personal profile] starlady
Festivids went live on Saturday! I have still not watched most of the vids because I was at an Alex Pretti memorial bike ride on Saturday and then at some transit activist events on Sunday and I am trying to also do an Escapade premiere, but what I have watched has been great. And I got a great gift vid!

[VID] Find Your People (9 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: Prodigy
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Gwyndala (Star Trek), Jankom Pog, Dal R'el, Zero (Star Trek), Rok-Tahk, Murf (Star Trek), Hologram Janeway (Star Trek)
Additional Tags: Crew as Family, Fanvids
Summary: You can't go it alone, everybody needs help
 

Really there can never be enough Star Trek: Prodigy vids as far as I'm concerned, and this one is full of great character moments and team/found family feels. 

I myself made two Festivids this year, which means I'm already at 100% above my vid production for 2025, so I am very happy about that.

The good news is that I got up the street with only a few patches of slush impeding the walker's wheels. Alleyways mostly, which are a pain because snow+slope makes for antsy footing. So I should be able to get to physio on Wednesday. I've been doing remarkably well given it's been nearly three weeks but will be glad of some work on the knees.

The bad news is that I knocked my water pic of the sink this morning and broke something off it. Thus the need to get to Loblaws to buy a new one.

The worst is that the bar fridge stopped working last night. The connection will no longer connect. So it's stairs again for me in the morning.

However, last Thursday as I was pushing my way through the almost impassable slush a bearded guy coming the other way stopped to commiserate. You're very brave, he said. Pure hubris, I said, and anyway I need potatoes. I ran across him again today up the street. Appears he was impressed by my using hubris, a word which he doesn't expect people in general to know. Ah, said I, comes of being a Classics major. Still impressive, he says. Which was nice.

Weekend

[personal profile] cosmolinguist

Work team check-in this morning, I dreaded getting asked "How was your weekend, Erik?" My actual weekend: onboarding for new antifascist activities and returning to old ones, across two continents. My answer: "Oh you know, quiet."

I'm not doing anything scary or glamorous btw: mostly I'm in a bunch of Signal chats and standing around having cool conversations with strangers. There really is stuff for everyone to do.

(Including the people who are looking after people like me. I had a bad brain day yesterday and then listened to my parents for an hour and this time it was 100% [cw: MN, ICE, etc.] Details I'd managed to avoid myself, my mom just splurged all over me. My mom was late getting in touch with me because she'd been on the phone to her most annoying sister for the previous hour and, except for this bare fact, didn't even mention it. Normally I'd expect several solid minutes about how bad that was! So I went to bed feeling really down and the people and things that help lift me up are part of the fight too.)

Summary: Is it gay to share a couch with your maybe-crush during a sleepover with your friends?

Ao3


The living room seems so much darker and so much quieter after the TV is shut off. Shadows of furniture and open doorways seem to hide dark figures leftover from the horror movie marathon they had been having until- Kyoko cranes her head to see the green numbers of the oven clock in the kitchen- a little after two in the morning. She settles back against the pillow, closes her eyes, and breathes out slowly, and Hana snores a bit louder on the other couch.

It takes a moment for Kyoko’s heart to stop pounding from the sudden noise. The fear slowly fades away from where it was lurking in the back of her mind like a leopard in a tree. She shifts into a more comfortable position on the couch and stretches out her legs, knees aching from being in a cramped position for too long.

Birdfeeding

Today is cloudy and cold.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a large flock of sparrows and a male cardinal.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 2/2/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I put out more birdseed and a new peanut suet cake.

EDIT 2/2/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

Chat corner 2026-04, with music

[personal profile] annathecrow posting in [community profile] dreamwars

Hi,

welcome to the weekly chat corner. Have anything SW-related to talk about?

Me, I'm thinking about listening to music fannishly: connecting certain songs with certain characters, creating fannish playlists, having specific music for writing/creating.

Do you do that kind of thing? I've only started semi-recently, but it's one of my favorite fannish activities nowadays. I think my favorite association is still Phildel's Funeral Bell for Darth Vader - I just love how tragic it is. (Sneaky self-promo, hell yeah.)

Sooo... any SW-related songs for you? Playlists? Vids, even?

This is the Forbidden Psalm Bundle featuring the OptimisticNL 28mm miniatures games compatible with the Mörk Borg RPG, an old-school fantasy system:

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/Forbidden

  

This is the first set of miniatures rules I've seen in these offers in a fair while, but the Mörk Borg connection unfortunately means that these rules share that system's somewhat idiosyncratic ideas of layout and typography, which in my case usually gives me a headache. If that's not going to put you off, and you want miniature rules, it may be worth a look.

Posting anxiety

lupine_dreaming: (werewolf)
[personal profile] lupine_dreaming
So, as I’ve mentioned a little bit before, I self-ship. I write some stuff related to my self-ships. I’m pretty open about posting this stuff on Tumblr. I’ve posted a few self-insert fics here, but I hesitate to post more, largely because … well, a lot of Old Era fandom people post here on Dreamwidth. And I remember how mean Old Fandom was about things that it deemed too self-indulgent or OOC, so I worry about getting that live of reception here when it comes to my self-indulgent stuff. :(

Apart from the bldg manager being her usual rude bitchy self when I was paying my rent earlier this morning, I'm in a pretty good mood today. I had so much fun with my friends at the Chinese restaurant last night, we had Peking duck, General Tso's chicken, ginger beef fried rice and a couple of dim sums. I hadn't had Peking duck in decades but it was my birthday.

Batch five of fills for the [community profile] threesentenceficathon! I'm having such a great time with this.


Ace Attorney, Apollo and the judge, 200 words, prompt: the judge declares the witness guilty. )

Ghost Trick/The Goes Wrong Show, Sissel and Robert, 320 words, prompt: after midnight. )

Assorted ficlets for the Goes Wrong Show, mainly Chris and Robert, 700 words total. )


I got a comment on the ficathon saying 'Your fic has actually gotten me into the Goes Wrong Show and it's also absolutely hysterical', and it made me smile so hard. By my count, I've now got... twelve or thirteen people to watch The Goes Wrong Show, I think? I'm dragging everyone into this pit with me.

Music Meme, Day 20

A song with a number in the title: 

One of the musical geniuses that Bob introduced me to years ago was Harry Nilsson. Until he helped me take a deep dive into Nilsson's work, I think I'd only heard "Everybody's Talking." After I emerged from the dive, I loved everything he ever wrote or performed. When he was young, his voice was angelic. After a few years of hard, hard living, it was no longer angelic, but it was still sweet. 

There are so many Nilsson songs I'd love to share with you - Jump Into the Fire, Good Old Desk, Remember, I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City, and so many more - just for the joy of listening to his robustly, seriously whimsical lyrics. But the meme on Day 20 asks for music that has a number in its titles, so I'll stick with that. 

As it happens, there are two Nilsson songs with a number in the title. "One" is the first one, and it's beautiful. 

But Nilsson wrote another song with a number as its title: 1941. This is semi-autobiographical and is a perfect example of how Nilsson could mix whimsy with sorrow.


The previous days are available via this link.
