I am not dead, but I currently hate everything. (Personal stuff, which is sufficiently embarrassing that I'm not going into detail. I am just flopped on the floor and screaming into a pillow. Metaphorically.)

I keep meaning to write up a review of the new SUPERMAN movie (which I did not hate), and K-POP DEMON HUNTERS (which I also did not hate), and perhaps plans for NaNo. But it ain't happening today. I am posting to vent, in a small way, and also I realized I hadn't posted since July, and here it is late September. So: not dead, vexed, grr.

fic: absence of cause or excuse

lirazel: Jiang Yanli from The Untamed smiling ([tv] lotus blossom)

Also I forgot to link to this after reveals!

Title: absent of cause or excuse (8789 words) by Lirazel
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Jiang Cheng | Jiang Wanyin/Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng | Jiang Wanyin & Jiang Yanli & Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian
Characters: Jiang Cheng | Jiang Wanyin, Jiang Yanli, Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Marriage of Convenience - Marriage For Protection, solving plot problems with marriage
Summary:

“I’ve got an idea,” A-Cheng says finally. Then, with effort: “About A-Xian.”

“Tell me,” Jiang Yanli says.

“It’s crazy.” He hasn’t looked at her since he sat down, but now he glances at her out of the corner of his eyes, like he’s gauging her reaction.

She laughs, a little laugh. “It’s A-Xian,” she says, spreading her hands as though that explains everything. (It does. Nothing has ever been orthodox, not with A-Xian.)

The corner of A-Cheng’s mouth jerks up, but the smile doesn’t quite bloom. He shakes his head, the lock of hair falling back down to brush against his cheekbone. “What if I—” Shakes his head again, pulls his shoulders back like he’s pulling on his Zongzhu robes. “I’m going to marry him.”

 

 

-or-

Let's fix everyone's problems through marriage. Chengxian-style!

She couldn’t say, I’m trying to figure out a way to live with all this longing, and in the meantime, I’m embarrassed and a little bit resentful. Not out loud.

[personal profile] letzan posted about recent "high velocity f/f fandoms":

I want to shine an occasional spotlight on fandoms that are in flux. There are two kinds of fandoms here:

  • Fandoms that are growing rapidly, which are typically not in the top 20 now, and may never get there, but might be interesting for F/F readers to check out and encourage.

  • Fandoms that are losing ground on the top 20, and seem to be "post-peak." They may well peak again in the future, but it's a good moment to look back at the impressive amount of F/F which has been written so far.


There were some real surprises (to me) in both the list of femslash fandoms that are growing over the last 3 months, and those "losing ground." [personal profile] letzan is also soliciting femslash recs for all of the fandoms listed in the post!

Take a peek for yourself.

[Happy Hobbit Day! This is a revision of a review I first posted to my LJ on October 10th, 2011. It has been edited for clarity and additional information.]

Though apparently a huge success in Europe, this game is more obscure in the US, where it was released as Hobbit Software Adventure. (In the 1980s the word "software" was exciting enough to put in a name. Some early games also advertised on the box that they were "100% machine language!")

The manual calls it "one of the most sophisticated adventures ever designed for microcomputers," so let's don our evening attire, pour a glass of wine, and boot it up.

SOFTWARE! Excited yet? )

You can play the DOS port of The Hobbit/Hobbit Software Adventure in your browser, for an unforgettable evening of text-based sophistication. 🍷

Lord Dismiss Us by Michael Campbell

Sep. 21st, 2025 06:59 pm
regshoe: Orange-and-black illustration in the style of an Ancient Greek terracotta vase, showing head and upper body of a young man with Greek text '𝚨𝚲𝚬𝚵𝚰𝚨𝚺 𝚱𝚨𝚲𝚶𝚺' (Alexias kalos)

I also have book reviews to catch up on!

Lord Dismiss Us (1967) is a funny book in several ways. It is a novel about the Problem of Homosexuality in Boarding Schools, and in some ways a reappraisal of the boarding school novel tradition from the perspective of the later, more adult fiction which can deal more openly with homosexuality than those older books did. It takes place over a single term at a fictional public school whose new headmaster goes on a crusade against entrenched 'immorality', with various consequences.

Love is a burning thing... )

After some consideration of my options, I have made a Star Wars icon that pleases me. It's a screenshot of the music video for Jeremy Messersmith's "Tatooine" with animation by Eric Power.
