There's no kind of atmosphere
Feb. 26th, 2026 05:29 pmsovayI hope Rob Grant would take it in the intended spirit that when I heard the news of his sudden death, all I could think was "All most of us get is 'Mind that bus!' 'What bus?' Splat!" The first six and a half series of original flavor Red Dwarf (1988–99) were a social staple of my sophomore year of college, watched primarily in my case from the top half of a bunk bed occupied by a structurally unwise number of students who would shortly branch out into whatever British television comedy we could get hold of the tapes for. It became an immediate and ineradicable part of our language. Decades later, the number of quotations from especially the first three series that have worked themselves into my present household lingo would be difficult to estimate without a rewatch. In storage with the rest of my library, I still have some of the tie-in novels, including at least one of the separately authored parallel continuations, which unfortunately for this memoriam may have been Doug Naylor's. I cannot find that I ever saw another project of Grant's except for the first series of The 10%ers (1993–96) and I am still stricken to lose yet another artist while Kissinger's heirs don't even seem to be in this machine. Not everybody has to be dead, Dave.

Rec Category: Rodney McKay
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex
Pairings: Rodney/John
Categories: slash, emotional constipation, pwp
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Words: 2,581
Author's Journal: n/a
Author's Website: puddlejumperpilot on AO3
Link: This time, this time (its personal)
Why This Must Be Read: This is the first SGA story by puddlejumperpilot, and it’s equally hilarious and so hot, hot, HOT! Rodney and John are truly terrible at communicating, and puddlejumperpilot writes them so perfectly in character. We get wonderful manly, and of course very mature, talking... and more. It's especially delightful how Rodney wants to be “manhandled” and still gets bossy from the bottom. It’s gorgeous how John knows how to “handle his man”… and how to take Rodney—literally.
You really should give this adorable story a go. Enjoy!

Media Roundup: Onward!
Feb. 26th, 2026 03:56 pmforestofgloryI’ve gotten back into the habit of going to the library once a week on the same day (Monday) to return stuff and pick up my holds. (This is also the best way I’ve found to get myself to return my books on time now that the library got rid of late fees) I keep thinking “this week the stack of new things will be smaller” but it never is. Surely I’ll run out of graphic novels I want to read that the library has at some point? But I’m glad it's not yet.
In other news I have now read more books this year than I did all of last year, which is pretty wild! Like sure they are all short things but I’m just reading so much more than I was few months ago and it’s really nice.
Red Threads by Ila Nguyen-Hayama—A graphic novel about a 15 year old girl in Tokyo who is invited to attend a magical school. This was very cute and charming if a little heavy on the info dumping about Japanese folklore. I really liked the main character's friendship with another girl at school.
Lumberjanes, Vol. 8-14 by N.D. Stevenson and Shannon Watters, et al.— I’d read up through Vol 10 years ago, but now I’m at stuff I haven’t read before. Still very fun!
Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy by Chynna Clugston Flores et al. —A crossover between two very fun comics both featuring teams of teens who deal with supernatural mysteries – I enjoyed it a lot! I wish there was more time for cross team interactions but it would be hard to fit in and keep focus on the story
Animated Batman—It’s nice to be into media that my kid also is interested in. She doesn’t watch anything with subtitles, but she likes Batman. So I’ve watched a handful of episodes of the 90’s animated Batman with her. (I started from where she’s gotten to before so not at the beginning) In terms of Bat-fam its not doing a lot, most of the kids/sidekicks aren’t in this and those that are aren’t around much (though I’m told they show up more frequently latter on) However the show itself is very well crafted! I’m impressed with both the animation (the style! The attention to detail) and the storytelling

Day 26: Forbidden Love
'Forbidden love' is a concept that I enjoy reading about and writing about in fiction but acknowledge that in real life, it usually comes with unfair if not abusive power dynamics. Like 'soulmates' and other tropes, it belongs in fiction. But the tension is nice.
Fandom: BTS [AU]
Pairing: RM/Jin
Summary: Romance novelist RM spots a fan of his work on the subway.

some good things.
Feb. 26th, 2026 11:11 pmkaberett- Ridiculous indulgent breakfast situation (though having now looked up Culinary Strata because A asked, I am extremely unconvinced that pistachio croissants with raspberries)... counts.
- Therapy session, spent entirely talking about One Thing (with tendrils), has left me feeling distinctly more settled.
- Today's primary Make Numbers Go Down project has been working my way through some of the short fiction I've had open in tabs since [mumble]. Highlight thus far is Naomi Kritzer's The Thing About Ghost Stories (cn parental death, dementia).
- The other New Thing I started consuming today is A Physical Education, which is extremely and often graphically about diet culture and disordered eating, but which 11% of the way through the audio file I am Very Much Enjoying. Further updates to follow. (The library only has audio, I apparently put a hold on it seven weeks ago though I can't at this point remember where I came across it, and The First Headphones I Have Ever Tolerated remain excellent. Shokz OpenRun Pro.)
- The Child liked the replacement mock cherries; spring flowers are excellent (we are firmly heading into daffodils now); Routine Dinner tonight DID work even though the app initially Frightened Me by claiming first available pickup was tomorrow morning.
Poet's Corner: two poems
Feb. 26th, 2026 06:04 pmstonepicnicking_okapiThat’s My Heart Right There by Willie Perdomo
We used to say,
That’s my heart right there.
As if to say,
Don’t mess with her right there.
As if, don’t even play,
That’s a part of me right there.
In other words, okay okay,
That’s the start of me right there.
As if, come that day,
That’s the end of me right there.
As if, push come to shove,
I would fend for her right there.
As if, come what may,
I would lie for her right there.
As if, come love to pay,
I would die for that right there.

Poem that Begins w/a Tweet About Gwendolyn Brooks by Mitchell L. H. Douglas
Gwendolyn Brooks was a Jeopardy question no one could answer tonight.
That’s a metaphor too painful to wrap my head around.
& I said, “The poem is about Love
because all poems are about Love,”
& you rolled your eyes so hard
I thought they would snap back to center
w/cherries & diamonds. The flit
of your lashes renders me nameless & I fall
blank for what feels like a block. Falling
is a metaphor for my life: unsettled,
unmoored. I capitalize Love
because it is bigger than what we are
or what we give credit for: oaken,
open. For that, you have no answer,
your breath in kitchenettes:
hal/ved, qu/art/er/ed—cut again.

Slay the Princess!
Feb. 26th, 2026 11:00 pmdhampyresaI've finished a play through of Slay the Princess. I really enjoyed it! I will now try to go after all the achievements héhéhé
I had to turn off the parallax and the ambient sound so I wouldn't get nauseous. Something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to motion sickness and/or vertigo.

Megamind: Rings by impatientseamstress
Feb. 26th, 2026 04:03 pmmythicmistress posting in fancakeFandom: Megamind
Pairings/Characters: Megamind/Roxanne Ritchi, Minion, Metro Man
Rating: M
Length: 168,535 words
Creator Links: impatientseamstress
Theme: Inept in Love
Summary: Roxanne Ritchi just wanted her shoes replaced.
Marrying her Supervillain in a surprise Vegas elopement was not part of the plan. It wasn't part of Megamind's plan either... Unfortunately, all of Metro City is way too excited to finally see them together for them to admit the truth. But they can solve this...somehow
Reccer's Notes: Oh, Megamind and Roxanne were being SO STUPID about each other, in the "I love her/him, but she/he couldn't possibly love me back" way. They managed to argue themselves into getting married, for crying out loud! (Didn't help that EVERYONE IN METRO CITY was shipping them...) There's also some fun worldbuilding done for what a world with superheroes, supervillains, and damsels would look like.
