...Is half a day late, sadly. I know, I know, I should be more disciplined. I am not sure anyone has found these yet, is the thing too. But we go ever onwards! Happy Holidays to any readers that celebrated them. I irresponsibly visited my parents and a set of grandparents, even though it’s in compliance with the permissive guidelines that are giving christians undue preference. Alas.

My first part of the week was dominated by watching Rescue Bots, which is illegally good. Clearly, I’m way to deep into robot hell. Then I was diving into some (REDACTED) for ITPE, which won’t show up here. Otherwise I have temporarily moved to spend the holidays with my parents and good internet connectivity is sparse - so these will likely get shorter in the following weeks.

I have successfully made it through another week of fugue state in this fugue state of a year. I re-read Gideon the Ninth, so yes, there is still more Locked Tomb recs! Transformers still dominates. And finally, I (fruitlessly) checked out some german fics on the olde ao3 to maybe make podfic my mom can understand? Didn’t find anything suitable, but some german language fics sneaked in.

Once more unto the breach! I got one of them last year and while I filled some squares, I will go for at least one bingo this year. Huzzah!


This was also crossposted to my pillowfort! Did you know I have a pillowfort? Now you do, I guess. I was planning to switch to there fulltime at some point, because I never really posted much here, but pillowfort does not like custom html in its posts. Boo, pillowfort, boo. You are welcome to follow me there anyway, of course!

There is a reason I cannot let go from fiction and especially written fiction. The good ones? They set my blood on fire, they energize me, they make me want to live by burning. This is story is one of these. I'm probably what might qualify as "manic" in other circumstances, fresh from reading this an hour ago. I posted it everywhere else to talk and no one did, so I'm posting it here too. So others will read it.

Let's fucking go. )
Edit: Prettyarbitrary mentioned some discussions more critical on it on twitter. I just saw one and I also agree with the points there? I have to investigate more deeply later. As I said above, I wrote it in a slightly manic way because I had to talk about it. People on twitter mention that they get inauthencity vibes from it and why they think it might be a trojan horse. I will evaluate tomorrow my time again, I think. People already had more time to go over it and I need to calm down. This might make me even more angry that it was this text if it comes from a shitty TERF. But this was still the one, I guess.

Here are some thoughts about two articles I found on twitter and read.

A recent article on Vice showcases the board game proposal "Scramble for Africa", which was taken out of the production pipeline because the game concept is, in general, major Y i k e s. The article is more indepth, but you could basically play as colonisers in Africa, slave labor was implicit but for enough money players could organise (temporary) slave uprisings. Players win by colonising most of Africa.

Yikes and more subtle racism )

Dear Podficcer,

welcome and greetings! It's nice to meet you! I hope this won't be the last time. Thank you for recording for me, I can't wait until I get to hear the finished product. But for now, ITPE! In general, hopefully this letter provides you with as much information you need to chose a fic to record. But if you are trying to make yourself fit to my tastes and going against your own, let me say I would much prefer that you chose a fic you enjoy! In short: Having fun yourself is the most important thing.More specifics and fandoms under the cut! )

I did some dent into my reading stack this easter, happy to talk with anyone about it.

I read the last book of the Engelsfors triology. If you don't know, it's a Swedish YA series where teenagers are realistic with problems, problems that are real- a depressed mother, grandfather is dying being not "swedish", being in a relationship with a douchebag, living on your ownbecause the other parent is alcoholic and others, along with bullying and being in love. There's the best handling of a crush on a teacher I've seen, young people having sex and not and not getting penalized for it. It also got a canon romance between two girls and they both live! Really recommended. The conclusion was very satisfying - no dead revived, but not forgotten, difficult decisions that pay off, old ledgers finally shut. Some long needed revenge.

Bonus: some headcanons about a hockey au of the verse. :D

I read book two of the Raksura, The Serpent Sea. Its a fantasy series about a race of shapeshifting dragon-birds, is the closest description I have. Plotting, world building and characterisation here continue to be great and I enjoy the setting a lot. The gender politicsof the Raksura are refined in this volume and continue to be interesting. I will get the next book as well. One thing I missed is the continuation of the threat the Fell represented. I still think they will be the overarchiving villains and hope they make a reappearance.

And finally, I gave in and read the first Captive Prince book. Finished it in one day and have to admit everyone was right. Now I can't wait to somehow read the next two, dammit. I should have gotten them all together. Thankfully they got it in one day last time.

There's some reader's notes at the end. Wow, I did the second one very hasty. Those two are my first podfics and my accent is somewhat awkward but check it out! If you don't like podfic I would still highly recommend the original stories - I can't think of a better author to get into Superbat and since the movie comes out soon, the fandom might rekindle. :)

I've been kind of silent, having lost my dreamwidth password and have been a bit sick. Nothing serious just regular annoyance that doesn't go away.

In hockey news, the Riveters have lost their playoff series. :( Unsuprising but heartbreaking.

Also, the all hockey hair team came out today and it is non-creepy for a change. I'm very sad that it is getting more professional, but still a classic.

I saw this on tumblr and needed to share this with the DW-only people. If you're a hockey fan and haven't read Check, Please! you're missing out. An adorable comic dealing with friendship, LGBT+ themes, hockey and the toxic culture around it as well as love and college life.

Now, some genius has been making some songs for a hypothetical musical adaption. They're amazing.

Three of five vids under the cut, because I couldn't decide!  )

First off, I went to Regensburg this weekend to visit a hockey fandom friend! Yay! I had a great time, we watched the local home game between EVG and Deggendorf right above the penalty boxes. Fun times. The rest of the trip was playing board games and going to the christmas markets together. It was a good weekend and I needed it.

I brought some stuff for her and while I was in the bookshop I got lured into buying a wonderful edition of the makura no sôshi by Sei Shônagon. Bound with fabric, it is drool worthy. A new, complete translation with a lot of nice footnotes and a glossary about stuff like monoimi. So. Worth. It.

If you don't know, this is basically the diary/blog of a court lady at around 1000 in Heian Japan. The whole thing is hilarious - our author knows exactly what she wants and has an opinion on everything. The English translation which we got recced by our profs is McKinney but even if you just read it online, I promise it is worth it. (check out wiki for some sources.)

Which brings me to... Winter Mail! The past years I've been sending out small packages for the holidays to whoever wanted one. Well,I'm calling it mail, because if too many people ask, I need to cut back. Anyway, it is the time of the year again. If you want some mail, tell me here or on tumblr the following things:

- your address
- any dietary restrictions/things you love. I don't care about the why - if you only eat nuts at summer solstice, I just want to know so I can make sure your package is nut free. The more you tell me about your tastes, the more I can work with!
- what kind of holiday greeting you might like - if you don't tell me, I'll go with the standard "Happy Holidays".

Please tell me until... the 8th, let's say? So I can get the stuff ready

And, at last, NHL AllStar Game Voting!

So, I'm very much a fan of vote someone ridiculous. It makes the game more interesting and honestly, I feel that P. K*ne being voted in as captain is way more of a stain on the integrity of the process. This years early leader was John Scott and then he told us he would rather not attend yesterday. Bummer :( Jagr also said he's "too old" but Teemu took one for the team and convinced him slightly otherwise.

But say those two are not going, who else can we single out? Some suggestions:
- Goalie Captains! Which is a great idea. If Jagr won't go, Luongo seems like a good choice.
- Claude Giroux as Metro captain for that Grilled Cheesby factor! When else could we have him captaining Sidney?! He would also be an excellent troll.
- Sidney Crosby himself, just to make sure he can't skip another ASG.

I've also seen Erik Karlsson voting, which would be great since he hates 3-on-3 but honestly, in the Atlantic I find it hard to vote for anyone but PK Subban who was ROBBED last year by the NHL. It's a travesty and he should go. Nuff Said.

Feel free to input any other interesting/horrible campaigns we might do! I still don't know how to trump K. as the central captain - really, he's  going to be there, ok, but the fans do NOT need to do this. We should figure something out.
