So season one is over, and we have to wait a year and a bit for season 2, because the script isn't written yet (whereas a year ago Jacob Tierney had the S1 script completed). I've already watched the existing eps at least twice, some three times, and have watched popular scenes many more times than that, in gifs.

Watching episode six was such a trip as by then I was fully immersed in the fandom. It dropped here at 7pm each time, and I made myself wait until after 9pm when it was dark before watching, as I like to be cocooned in a lighted bubble with the show. Then after the ep was finished I went to tumblr for the gifs, reactions, and meta, and today I rewatched it, picking up several small things others had noticed and blogged about. I'll rewatch the show again off and on - it's a comfort watch for me now - and while we wait for season 2 there'll be art, and fanfic.

And in 2026 we'll get Connor in his first movie as a protagonist: April X. Dystopian sci-fi, already gathering kudos and in final production.

Belatedly! And Happy Thursday for those who don't celebrate! It was a quiet, lovely day for

cypher and me. We broke open the Heroes' Feast DnD cookbook. Will made Amphail Braised Beef and some delicious saffron bread called St. Lucia Buns (they got the recipe from a Scandinavian friend on tumblr). For sides I made Otik's Skillet-Fried Spiced Potatoes, Quith-Pa (an Elven recipe containing apricots and almonds; the original called for coconut but Will's allergic so I subbed in the almonds), and Wood Elf Forest Salad.

We exchanged gifts, which can be summed up as Warhammer + art supplies (for me) and Warhammer + video games (for Will). As always, I wish I could have done more, but they assured me I did enough. I just want to get them all the nice things. ;3;

I finished my assignment for

eatdrinkmakemerry and for

secretsanguinala and am now working on a gift and a pinch hit for the latter. I don't know what came over me — possibly having a steady job (good, security!) + the state of the world (extremely bad) is combining in a way that's making my brain look for fun productivity — but I'm having a ton of fun working on fandom stuff. :D It probably also helps that I'm working on mostly crack ships and AUs. Also, wrt Secret Sanguinala, it's my fandom's holiday exchange! I want it to be successful and full! Reveals were late Christmas Eve so this last gift is gonna be a little late, but that's okay.

(I drew ABO porn for the first time! what the heck!)

I both love and hate that Steam has a yearly replay similar to Spotify's Wrapped. I love it because, I mean, I'm very sentimental and I love looking back on the year! But I hate it because it's such a magnifying glass on how bad I am at staying on task in games, lmao. Oh well. I'm hoping 2026 is a kinder year in all ways and I'll be able to focus better on hobby things.

........I usually do a little look back on the year but frankly, 2025 SUCKED and I don't want to. It was just a shitty, disheartening, scary year and I understand that there is a lot of privilege to being able to be like, nope, not gonna focus on all that scary stuff, but damn it! I'm tired of focusing on the scary stuff! It's ALL bad! Even news about video games is bad (Larian employees making fun of the gender stuff in BG3, Larian using AI for the character design in Divinity, etc) and it's just. All bad. So I'm looking forward to the future and the things I can control.

Speaking of which, I bought a fancy hardback planner for this year!

The gold is shiny and I'm using different colored pens to help try and keep me on track. As someone notorious for NOT staying on track on goals....I hope I can stick with this, lmao.

Wrapping up this year's prompts! This isn't entirely the last of them, but I think after this one, I'm done with the ones that sparked story ideas, so I'll be declaring prompt amnesty and starting over fresh in the new year.

The prompt, which is somewhat spoilery for the fic

[from an anon] Biggles prompt- on a case they run into/are made to work with someone who was nasty to Biggles in his school-days, who tries to renew such treatment, and EvS, also involved with whatever they're investigating, finds himself possessed of both an unexpected protective urge and in the rare position to offer his own "you're better than the people you're working for" speech

Gen, late in canon, Erich + team with perhaps slight EvS/Biggles undertones, 1800 wds

Woke to snow this morning, several inches/ cms of same. Went and shovelled steps, front walk, and mine and NND's sidewalks. Came in and drank a lot of water. Snow kept falling, snow on snow, mixed with ice pellets. Someone with a snowblower-- SND orGood Neighbour C-- came by and redid sidewalk and front path. Have just been out and did steps (delivery coming tomorrow or Sunday) and the next inch on walk and sidewalk. If the city sends bobcats out I may be able to leave in a day or two, but otherwise not. Also is supposed to be above freezing on Sunday, which will turn all this into a sloppy paradise. I may have to have recourse to grocery delivery.

This would be far more bearable if I didn't have bursitis or something up my left side, but I do. Sofa and beanbags it is.

scenes from an italian restaurant (4048 words) by scientistsinistral
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Tennis RPF
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Carlos Alcaraz/Jannik Sinner
Characters: Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner
Additional Tags: Ambiguous/Open Ending, Alcohol, requester asked for 'intense possibly unrequited feelings of longing' and i hope i have done that, food as a metaphor for relationship and longing, US Open 2025
Summary:

If one had a long enough tape measure, enough guts to bring it out in the middle of a packed, upscale Italian restaurant, and enough fortuitous timing to use it whilst the two best male tennis players in the world were sitting at opposite ends of said restaurant smack bang in the middle of the 2025 US Open, one would find that the distance between the tables they’d each been assigned was around seventy-eight feet.

or, a triptych: Sinner and Alcaraz consider food and each other, during and after the 2025 US Open; from hotel rooms to Italian restaurants to hazy New York nightclubs.

Mods, please could I have a Tennis RPF fandom tag?

The holidays have been calm and quiet for me so far, but I've spent them with my mum, so somehow almost all the time was filled up anyway. *g* Tonight I finally found the time to properly settle down with my Yuletide gifts! I got three of them, two in the main collection and one in Madness. ♥ ♥ ♥

thanate

Another new year of me has come around again, and I keep remembering how my best friend from middle & high school used to call me up on my birthday & refer to me as "O Ancient One" because I was about 8 months older than she was. Probably partly because of the comparisons brought up by having a nearly-teen around living her own chaotic life.

I feel like my introspections are still stuck in the projects queue; ( ongoing crap, which is the state of the world... )

Things I have been considering, & may yet do something with include:

*The Baltimore Gamer Symphony Orchestra meets... just across from where the Key Bridge *was* (but I have driven farther to get to weekly meetings before; I've just gotten lazy) and they require no auditions and even have a choir that theoretically one can manage to be part of *at the same time.* And I do miss having scheduled & group music...

*I need to *actually talk to* people about writing community, which of course I have been saying for years, & I think what I need is a general progress-sharing & brainstorming cheering section space or even just an update window on other people who are writing regularly, because it's the momentum that is hard, but I don't really know how to create that or with whom because none of the standard "writing group" models is going to recreate 2000s NaNo lj or pausing every couple hard-won paragraphs in a college paper to exchange random e-mails with a friend who's working on their own. (and both papers & NaNo ultimately got written because of deadlines, sigh.)

*I keep meaning to say to my family that I'm good for 2-3 nights of dinner plan a week, & if each of them take a day then we can declare one "seagull night" (seagull says "get yer own!") & a take-out day per week and stop having to make last-minute food decisions when we're already hungry and/or done braining until after food.

*Still working on plan: make the basement suitable for habitation &/or sudden arrivals of kids who live within walking distance. (at least the pre-Christmas clean-up has led to a slightly less problematic living room space, temporarily...)

*likewise, attempts to join/create/promote local community continue to be an unchecked ticky box.

*[complicated mutterings/rant about having a useful website] [slightly further shadowed by watching a nature writer/artist's website get devoured & replaced by the internet asbestos machine]

*wholesale deleting my phone games in the hopes of redirecting my flow-state downtime towards... something else??

The list will always be longer than I have world & time to devote to it, but we knew that already.
