sholioThe other prompt fill I wrote today ended up being full-story-length (~1100 wds) for Babylon 5, posted on AO3 as Exercises in Linguistics.
The prompt was: G'Kar and Londo (slash or gen, up to you!) and Language. Set in early season 5, probably between about 5x02 & 5x06.

sholioCatching up on some older prompts now that I'm in between books.
1. EvS on Sakhalin
Prompt: EvS, that last night on Sakhalin between when Biggles first speaks to him and his escape the next day.
Posted on Tumblr here.
( Under the cut )
2. EvS & Algy (Biggles/EvS implied)
Prompt: Set post defection in London. A misunderstanding leads to Biggles being told that Erich is cheating on him. After some angst and h/c, their relationship is even stronger.
This went in a Direction. Also posted on Tumblr.

aurumcalendulaI tuned in to NASA's YouTube stream a little bit before Integrity's communication blackout ended. I remember the loss of the Columbia, so it was such relief they came home safe!

marginalianaVarious Opinions:
--The hour-long Dimension 20: On A Bus was a delight but probably would have been more of a delight at half the length. I think the concept couldn't quite carry that much time and the humor of 'everyone is losing their shit' got repetitive after a while. That said, Brennan's "I'm sad because of capitalism" made me choke on my own spit.
--I've been re-watching my favorite playthrough of Hollow Knight and we just got to the episode that makes me choke up as we learn that ( spoilers )
--This is the absolute smallest of the horrible things JKR has done, but remember when it used to be a fun little fan game to chat about your blorbos and assign them Hogwarts houses? It's not fun anymore. I hate that.
--I'm writing a smut fic and I might actually have to go watch some porn to work out the logistics of how the bodies fit together for this particular situation. Not something I've done before!
--Iceland was magnificent, by the way. We went inside a tunnel in a glacier!

conulyEdit: fuck, I forgot to include Smallville! Uh, vote for that as the last option I guess.
1. Results will be non-binding
2. I will not watch anything starring anybody who then went on to perform in the God's Not Dead franchise. This isn't even about their abhorrent beliefs, it's about their apparently low artistic standards. I only am barely including Xena on this list because we can just skip crossover episodes. Please do let me know if I accidentally listed a Big Mistake in that regard

ysobeljust haven't had much to say :)
I've been loving everything about Artemis II. The photos are gorgeous, the crew seems awesome, and the whole thing is so ding-dang wholesome.
Ear continues healing; I have no idea what it will look like in the end. Or whether the ear canal will go back to holding earbuds in, or if I have to figure out an alternative. (Right now earbuds go in fine but slide out within ten minutes.)
Migraines are stupid and I hate them.

kaberettBehold my works: today I went to the leisure centre, and went into the leisure centre, and went into the gym, and poked around a bit, and retreated to the stairwell to hyperventilate... and then WENT TO A CHANGING SPACE and CHANGED MY CLOTHING and went back into the gym. And picked! things! up!!! and put them down again!!!!!
I have now Touched Barbell, appear to have accidentally skipped most of Phase 2 of Liftoff in favour of Barbells, Apparently, but honestly the biggest and most exciting bit of this is that I did go back into The Gym and I did push through the social anxiety of What If I'm Doing It Wrong.
It is an excellent time of year to be doing this; the cherries on the way from the gym to the bus stop are in full and exuberant flower.
elaynaI'm watching a show where a man in a position of some authority blames a man with greater power for the death of his son. He kidnaps the guy and takes him out to the middle of the desert, leaving him to die. He is emotionally upset by what he has done, but feels it was necessary. His wife is distraught when she founds out, upset that her husband has done this horrible act, despoiling the memory of their son with murder, not even sharing his burden with her.
And it makes me think of this other show where a man in a position of some authority blames a man with greater power for the death of his son. And he schemes with mercenaries on a plan that kills a significant number of people and is intended to kill thousands more, but gets prevented. He doesn't seem to be particularly traumatized by what he has done, but fairly self-righteous about being driven to it. His wife is not distraught when she finds out. She is in fact delighted that her husband has killed a bunch of people to find vengeance for their son's death and encourages him on.
Do I even need to say which couple is Native American and which is white?
And now that I've set that up, I'm not sure where I want to go with it. Multiple paths pull me. But mainly it's been interesting to think about, how very culturally different people can be, and how my own cultural background has helped create my reactions of what is wrong and right and what people 'ought' to do. Also, it is good to watch different types of media.

elisem How did it be April? It seems simultaneously sudden and somehow like it took a million years. Guess I'd better catch people up; sorry about being out of touch.
State of the Me:
Still waiting for my insurance to be reinstated. (There's a whole saga that I'm too tired to retell right now, but rest assured that Things Are Being Followed Up On.)
It's been eleven weeks and one day since my mother died. My father died three years ago; their funerals were three years apart on the same day. (Which I guess makes future anniversaries of that day more efficient or something, but the last day of January is likely to not be a great day for me next year and ongoing. Just saying.) My sister continues to be a hero on dealing with all sorts of things big and small connected with all this. (My mother-in-law Ruth made me promise to remember to say my sister is a hero, but I would remember anyhow. Also, I miss Ruth, who passed in February two years ago. Which adds to the grief anniversaries.)
There are a lot of finished pieces I need to get up in the shop. I did manage to get the "Autocorrect" series up, the ones with a duck and an ice cube, or a fork and an ice cube. There will be more. Also, I just found all these hockey player charms, and something needs to be done with those.
The interruption in insurance is delaying some parts of the work on recovering from agoraphobia, but other parts continue. I have plans for a stroll down the block with a neighbor soon.
There is so much art I want to make. And so many people I want to talk with. (Hi!)
So that's part of the State of the Me. If you feel like sharing, what's the State of the You? And hi! Hi!

ALTLet’s take a look at “losing what we never found” for Fanwork Friday! This constructed reality fanvid centers around Swan Queen, the ship between Emma Swan and Regina Mills from Once Upon A Time.
The vid is known for its heavy angst, urging some fans to give tissue warnings, and has amassed thousands of views since its release in 2014. Its creator Nialies says in the YouTube description, “I’m so sorry I did this again, and i’m sorry that i’m actually not sorry. Like, at all.”
Keeping with the spirit of transformative fanworks, the above graphic is a play on the vid’s title card. Visit Fanlore to check out the original, and feel free to expand upon the article while you’re there!
