I have read book 8 (the new one) and loved it, but I haven't posted about it for reasons of general mental overwhelm as mentioned in the last post. (There was a lot in that book!) I decided to reread the first few chapters of book 1 for the early character intros, and uhhhhh I've now reread my way through to fairly late in book 3.

Random thoughts about these early books below, including potential spoilers for the whole series here and in comments.

In no particular order )

Белград знаменит своими граффити, которые за редким исключением бессодержательны и крайне отталкивающи с эстетической точки зрения. Муралы тоже бывают стремные. Но вот на эту стену посмотреть я хожу пешком в Земун. По набережной. Сегодня по дороге видела лебедей, утку с утятами и дохлую змею, но это ладно. Я ж про стену. Господская улица, 6. Нарисовал её карикатурист Драган Руменчић, у которого любимый художник Бидструп, и это заметно. Итак, перед нами пейзаж Земуна с Дунаем и земунцы, занимающиеся ерундой.

Это очень похожий на себя земунский skyline — Шишков, прости.

Очень хочу приобрести путеводитель «Земун нашей юности» авторства Руменчича, но его надо заказывать из какой-то дальней дали типа Старой Пазовы.

The first half of this month was A Lot - mostly family stuff, mostly not bad stuff, just A Lot - and I kept thinking I was going to summarize things, but in the end, I was too tired, and there was too much. (Basically a number of relatives were in town, some staying with me, and I was so peopled out past a certain point that I just sort of collapsed when everyone left.)

Things are much better now! I do have in-laws to deal with this upcoming week, but I'm looking forward to having more time to be online and more mental bandwidth.

So naturally I tripped and signed up for an exchange.

Outside POV Flash. This is a flash exchange - 300 wd minimum, 1 week writing period, 1 fandom request/offer minimum. Signups close tomorrow.

Yes, this is a shameless attempt to lure in more fandom-compatible people. It's only a week! It's only 300 wds! Maybe someone might want a warm-up for IPQ, you never know ...

Other things currently ongoing - [personal profile] summerofhorrorexchange is in signups! This exchange has slightly unique rules so see post here. (I don't think I can do this one this summer, because I also have assignments in both Whumpex and IPQ, but I've really enjoyed it all the times I've done it!)

It's finally spring here, and I'm so ready. Except for the sudden but inevitable pollen.

meme time!

Tell me a favorite trope you have, and I will tell you if I embrace it, reject it, or subvert it... and possibly why.

Tonight being Kittening Day Observed, Hestia was miffed that I would not let her at my olive-and-pepper-tinned sardines, but for the actual twelfth anniversary of Kittening Day, she was fed on lox. A dozen years she has been in our lives, the cat of legend. Her brother grows into irises. I still remember the soft musk under his ears. She lay warm and purring on my feet all afternoon.

1. We had a nice morning at Disneyland. There's new Mandalorian and Grogu menu items, plus Smuggler's Run has been rethemed for the movie, so there was lots of new stuff to check out.

2. Finished up another puzzle today. This is one I bought a while back before I really started doing the 1000 piece ones, but now I'm ready for it and it was a lot of fun!



3. This sweet Jasper has gone three weeks without an accident. We're still on alert, but I really hope this means he's over it.

Just a sucker for you.

In talking to [personal profile] petra and [personal profile] melannen, it hit me that Ryland Grace of Project Hail Mary, especially the movie version, is exactly the kind of person who'd ask, "Doesn't everyone have a system for socks?"

It's got me thinking there could be a piece of fandom shorthand about how to identify characters who'd have Systems for socks. Because they don't struggle with socks, they have a System for socks. It might be bad rats, though I think a way to say they have a System for socks is an easy way to describe something deeply specific.

99b of 108. BIG CONTENT WARNING for sexual harassment (inappropriate touching) involving a teenager. I can’t spell it out any more clearly than that, and I can’t skip past it when so much revolves around it. So we’ll be talking about it. Unaccustomed as I am to over-elaborate analysis, I’ll do my best. )

They've got a bunch of new stuff to go along with the new Mandalorian and Grogu movie and all that started on Thursday, so that was our main focus for today. I saw some posts yesterday and apparently lines were ridiculous on Thursday, but thankfully while the park was busy (it's Memorial Day weekend, after all), the Star Wars stuff wasn't mobbed.

Fandom: The Pitt (TV)
Rating: Explicit

Additional Tags: Post-Season/Series 02, Episode Related, Established Relationship, Complicated Relationships, Porn, parker ellis is ahead of everyone, listening to your body
Summary:

Ellis made an amused noise, drawing Robby's attention. "You know, Dana's enlisted everyone in finding a kinship foster."

"Don't look at me," Robby said instantly, just like he'd said to Dana, an actual jolt of horror pitching his gut at the idea.

Ellis went entirely innocent. "What I'm seeing is you looking mighty comfortable over there. And you got nothing but time."

For MerMay, [personal profile] leecetheartist did me the great honor of using me as a model for a glittering mermaid.



After the hectic bloom of mid-week summer, the weather has crashed back into overcast, rain, and intermittently raw chill. The Bradford pear directly in front of my office window has been hedged around with sawhorses declaring it a threat to public safety and scheduled for removal next week. I was photographing its delicately clustering blossoms just a few weeks ago. It's full of green leaves. It hasn't been antisocial to me. [personal profile] asakiyume sent me Thao & The Get Down Stay Down's "Temple" (2020).
