No energy at all for doing the creativity prompts right now.

 

Challenge #4

 

Fun House

Journaling: What is making you smile these days? Create a top 10 list of anything you want to talk about.

 

  1. Getting a message from Stepdaughter with pictures of my granddaughter.

  2. Face-timing with my nephew and niece.

  3. My cat.

  4. Taking a walk by the lake where I live.

  5. Going to the summer house.

  6. Finishing a sewing project.

  7. Trying a new recipe and really liking it, so it gets added to the dinner rotation.

  8. Thinking about it, cooking in general makes me smile.

  9. Finishing cleaning the house. I loathe the actual cleaning, but love the finished result.

  10. Listening to music I love.

 

Challenge #5

 

Journaling prompt: Be a carnival barker for your favorite movie, book, or show (or any other of your choice - game, comic, anything else)! Write a post that showcases the best your chosen title has to offer and entices passersby to check it out.

 

I will do a little rerun here, and point you to this post, where I talk about two of my all time favorites, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers.

 

Challenge #6

 

Journaling prompt: What games do you play, if any? Are you a solo-gamer or do you view games as a social activity?

 

I don’t play computer games, apart from solitaire. I’ve tried, and promptly get mind-numbingly bored. I do enjoy board games on occasion, though.

Subscription/Access Policy: Public posts in general, with some members-locked ones. Everyone is free to add, though!
What I chat about: Usually whatever random thoughts are going on, particularly any fandom thoughts I have. I want to post more often, particularly in talking about a couple creative projects I've got going on. So, pretty much anything I feel like posting...? With heavy irregularity; it's not unusual for me to go weeks without using my journal, so don't be concerned if I vanish off the face of DW for a while.
I'm looking to connect with people who: Want to chat, whether about random things or fandom things (even if non-shared fandoms). Collaborators, other creators, or people who just want to have ordinary conversations! I'm not that interested in taking part in discourse or anti culture, and I don't tend to post many negative things myself, but if you wanna chat about something and get it off your chest, that's also fair game.

Main Fandoms: Disney Ducks (particularly the wider Uncle $crooge comicsverse) is a big one, as is Fraggle Rock. Pokemon and Digimon are also huge ones cohabitating in my brain. Oh! And also Megaman, especially the EXE series. These are all pretty equally big fandoms in my book. And Red Dead Redemption 2 and RDO; looking to play RDR1 someday, but that's a little out of my reach right now.

Other Fandoms: Dimension 20, Skyrim, Dungeon Meshi, Fullmetal Alchemist, Animal Crossing, Dreamlight Valley, Undertale and Deltarune, Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts, In Stars and Time, Stardew Valley, The Sims, Sherlock Holmes, assorted other older anime, Dragonlance, DnD as a whole, assorted Disney franchises, assorted Dreamworks franchises, been really getting into CBS's Ghosts, really I've been in fandom spaces for a long time there's a LOT here, I KNOW I'm forgetting some...
What I Create for Fandom: Fanart, for the most part. The occasional fic, but mostly it's drawing.
Other Hobbies: Reading, photography, hiking, fishing, video games, painting

The past week’s been a foggy one — low on energy, high on friction. I’ve barely touched the computer, partly because I’ve had nothing to give, and partly because every little thing felt like too much. Office politics have been quietly draining, I forgot how much fandom drama can wear you out even when you’re not trying to be involved, and I’m still figuring out how changes in my joints are shifting my spoons, my energy, my everything.

I know those are the days I need the glimmers the most — but sometimes, when everything feels heavy, even looking for them is hard.

But today I’m back at the screen. I want to keep trying. These soft, bright moments matter — especially when they’re hard to find.

✨ today’s glimmers and good things ✨

🌸 I let myself stay in soft clothes all day, and tried not to feel guilty for needing rest. It felt like the kindest thing I could do.
🎧 I listened to music that matched my mood perfectly, and it felt like being held in just the right kind of quiet.
📖 I spent the afternoon reading, letting myself drift a little in someone else’s words. It was soft, and it helped.

So Darren posts his Wimbledon photo dump, right? Perfectly normal, very expected. There’s Jannik kissing the trophy, there’s the on-court hugs, the celebrations, the team somewhat drunk on champagne - clean, tidy, emotional but, like, manageable.

And then.
And then.


...there’s more... )

darren cahill what the hell?!

  • Jannik in the ice bath, grinning like he just won “most adorable glacier,”

  • SIMONE in the background, shirtless and smug and looking absolutely incredible (I'm slowly winning people over to the Simone love and this is definitely helping!)

  • full team garden party energy with shirtless Europeans melting in the heatwave, empty beer bottles, and one (1) fully clothed Australian man in the corner like, “I’m too sun-safe for this chaos,”

  • and finally, the coup de grâce: Jannik curled up asleep on the couch like a feral little nap prince while Darren sits next to him grinning like he didn’t just send us into a spiral.


AND ANOTHER THING.

Did anyone else clock that every framed photo above Sleeping Jannik™ is of Darren himself at Wimbledon?? Like. Sir. You’re napping under your mentor’s greatest hits montage (LMAO). How am I supposed to focus. How is this not already the opening scene of a slow-burn, emotionally tender polyfic. (spoiler alert: it is!) I am hanging on by a thread.

Anyway I am once again asking Darren Cahill to stop feeding my packfic/polycule brain like this. Or don’t. Honestly, don’t. I am thriving. I am spiralling. It’s fine.

...that said, we really do need to talk about the conspicuous lack of mostly-naked Darren.
Feels targeted. Feels cruel. Feels like censorship.

This post brought to you by: emotional damage, shirtless Europeans, and Darren Cahill’s ongoing refusal to take his damn shirt off.
Shirtless Simone: ✅
Ice bath Jannik: ✅
Mostly-naked Darren: ❌ and I am formally filing a complaint.

Sup, Homefryz!!!

Name: Bizette

Age: 20



I mostly post about: My characters, my art, my life, and just whatever interests me that day.



My hobbies are: Making art, HTML, anime and manga, video games, writing, listening to music, talking with friends, cycling, reading comics, daydreaming and baking.



My fandoms are: None tbh, but I guess I'm part of the glamfur and sparkledog scenes :P



I'm looking to meet people who: Chill folk who can handle my cheesiness, fellow glamfur/sparkledog or even animecore artists who like RPing, other lesbians and gays, and mature individuals who can engage in good faith.



My posting schedule tends to be: Daily and weekly for the most part due to not having a life, lol



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Fandom/flavour-of-the-month/fanfiction posting, constant politics talk or arguing about politics, YouTube spam, homophobes and lesbophobes, bigots of all stripes, bad grammar and spelling, inactive accounts/blank journals, Twitter/TikTok types, white saviour types, religious weirdos, gooners/porn addicts, AI "art" bros, and wannabe edgy lords/mean girls (this ain't 4Chan, blud!).



Before adding me, you should know: I'm a black woman with ADHD and Dyslexia; so please be patient with me and try not to be randomly racist lmao. I do post vents, but only when I feel it's appropriate. I'm basically always free to chat; so feel free to message me :D, I do have an edgy sense of humour, but I'm smart enough to tone it down if needed, I'm based in the UK - so I might not see your message immediately if you're in a different timezone, and please avoid labelling me a furry :/

Name: Patch
Age: 34

I mostly post about:
Quiet living, books with margin notes, tea blends, visible mending, soft rituals, and the small things that anchor a day — light through curtains, a sentence that stays with you, a note Rae once wrote.

My hobbies are:
Reading (especially secondhand or annotated books), mending clothes by hand, brewing tea like it’s a spell, walking in the woods, archiving, journalling, and noticing the in-between moments.

My fandoms are:
Discworld (especially the witches), gentle fantasy, soft folklore, The Last Unicorn, Stardew Valley, and anything that feels like wool and wonder.

I'm looking to meet people who:
Love longform blogging, notice quiet details, have soft rituals of their own, and enjoy the kind of friendship that builds slowly and kindly over time.

My posting schedule tends to be:
Weekly-ish — sometimes more if I’m feeling thoughtful or tea-drowsy.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Cruelty masked as “honesty,” bigotry, mockery, or a lack of care for the softer parts of others.

Before adding me, you should know:
I’m quiet and sentimental, I tag generously, and I write as if I’m tucking things away in a drawer. Rae (she/her) appears often in my posts — she’s someone I love, even if I rarely say it aloud. If you like slow friendships and soft mornings, I’d be glad to meet you.

1. What was the most sick that you've ever been? It’s a toss-up between when I had pleurisy one Christmas (I was about seven or eight), swine flu, or covid.

2. What disease are you afraid of getting? Alzheimer’s - though I’m not sure if I’m more terrified of me getting it, or Li.

3. Are you a big baby when it comes to taking medicine/shots for your illnesses? Not at all. But I am both very forgetful and pretty susceptible to the “I feel better, I don’t need this anymore” trap - currently going through it with my asthma meds, actually.

4. Is going to the doctor really THAT bad? Yes. Especially with my joints - I’ve spent thirty years not being listened to.

5. Would you have the flu twice a month if you were paid $1,000 for having it? Absolutely not. I’ve only had the flu twice in my life, and both times it knocked me off my feet for 8–10 days. I’ll happily never have it again. There’s a reason I get my flu jab every year.

Bonjour! :)

Age Group: early 30s
Country: Austria
Subscription/Access Policy: I don't (currently) make locked posts. Other than that, anyone is free to subscribe, unsubscribe, grant access, revoke access, etc.
About Me/Other Info: I'm a French guy who's constantly trying to post more on this website, and right now what my brain craves is more activity on my Reading page. o7 I'm participating in [community profile] sunshine_revival which has been helping with the posting, but my Reading page is pretty slow and I'd really like to get more people on there so we can all post alongside each other. Or something. I'm mostly looking for people who post about fandom stuff, but the actual fandom isn't super important to me (though if we have fandoms in common, that's great!) I'm more into the vibe of shared enthusiasm/passion, you know? I'll show you the little (size neutral) guys (gender neutral) that make my heart soar, you'll show me yours. That sort of stuff.

Main Fandom: My main fandom is Pokémon, specifically Pokémon X&Y. It's been my ride or die for over a decade now, though I've been a general/more casual Pokémon enjoyer since 1999. I love the creatures (all generations, though I don't know the ScaVio ones very well yet) and I love the characters (especially the Kalosian ones, but my heart is open to most of them.) In general, I'm largely into the games, and not so much into the rest, but that doesn't mean I dislike it.
Other Fandoms: Non-exhaustive list, because I can never remember what I like: .flow, A Series of Unfortunate Events (books & show), Ace Attorney, Amphibia, Animal Crossing, Arcane, Assassin's Creed (mostly Unity), BEASTARS, Far Cry 4, Final Fantasy (7, 9, 15), James Bond (Craig era), The Legend of Zelda, Minecraft, Mob Psycho 100, Petscop, Pokémon GO, Portal (1&2), Severance, Silent Hill (2&4), Sonic the Hedgehog (games & movies), Squid Game, Star Wars (movies), Stardew Valley, Super Paper Mario, Tales of Symphonia, Undertale/Deltarune, Vocaloid, Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Yume Nikki, Yuppie Psycho.
OTPs and Ships: My OTP is Professor Sycamore/Lysandre from Pokémon X&Y! Unbeatable! Number one forever! On my death bed I will be thinking about them! Other than that, here's a selection of ships I've been into in the last few years: Redd/Nook (Animal Crossing) Sade/Arno (Assassin's Creed) Ibuki/Louis (BEASTARS) Ganondorf/Link/Zelda (The Legend of Zelda) Serizawa/Touichirou (Mob Psycho 100) Eusine/Morty, Serena/Shauna, almost any male character/Lysandre (Pokémon) In-ho/Gi-hun (Squid Game) Zelos/Regal (Tales of Symphonia) Tachibana/Oda, Majima/Nishiki (Yakuza/Like a Dragon)

Fannish Activities: I draw and write! This year has rendered me a bit too swamped to do much of either (I haven't written anything in months and I miss it a lot) but these are my two main fannish endeavors. I also frequently participate in events (mostly exchanges, but not always) and sometimes even mod/host them. I also have a (WIP) fansite for Pokémon X&Y!
Non-Fannish Interests: Right now, I'm super into webdev and web design. I also like and am curious about all kinds of arts and crafts (trying to get back into sculpting and painting lately, also picked up cross-stitching through one of my partners.) I miss taking long walks around a lake, and I love animals (I have two cats!) I also enjoy washing the dishes...

Challenge #3
Journaling prompt: What are your favourite summer-associated foods?

Strawberries and cream, obviously. Is it even summer if you haven’t eaten strawberries until your fingers are stained red and you feel a little too full but still somehow tempted to go back for just one more? Ideally they’re a little overripe and still warm from the sun, and the cream is cold and just barely sweetened. That’s the classic.

No photo description available.But my favourite summer foods aren’t just about flavour - they’re rooted in memory, tangled up with the smell of grass and sunblock, the buzz of bees, the distant whine of a hosepipe being uncoiled.

When I was a kid, my dad had a huge garden - and not just that, he also had an allotment, so we were always growing something. It felt like magic, honestly, how much came out of the ground every year. Apples, pears, plums, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries, loganberries, rhubarb. I think at one point we even had blackcurrants and redcurrants, though I might be imagining that part. The raspberries were my favourite - I’d eat them straight off the plant, warmed by the sun, until I made myself absolutely sick. (Still worth it. Every time.)

We had so much fruit that my childhood summers were full of jam-making and crumbles and endless bowls of stewed fruit with custard. We'd freeze some too - bags and bags of berries packed away for winter, though somehow the frozen ones never quite tasted the same.

And then there were the vegetables. Potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, cabbage, marrow. I loved the peas most of all - so sweet and crisp, straight from the pod. But I wasn’t allowed to help with the pea harvest anymore after a certain age. There was an incident involving a suspiciously empty bucket and one very full stomach. (Apparently, you can’t be trusted when you come back with more pod than pea. Who knew?)

There’s something about food you’ve watched grow that tastes different - more alive, maybe, more rooted. Summer still tastes like that for me: the green snap of a fresh pod, fruit sticky on your hands, the scent of crushed tomato leaves, and the way the air smells when it’s hot and full of bees and pollen and everything’s growing. Strawberries and cream are just the tip of the memory.

Li and I are having one of those moments where our echolalia triggers each other.

I said 'new new new book review', which is the name of the template I made in Cava for writing/posting book reviews.

So now she's sitting there, in a very David Attenborough-esque voice, going 'Blue maomao'

And every time she says 'blue', I start singing the Eiffel 65 song.

Life in a neurotypical household must be so boring. And very quiet.

[personal profile] badfalcon
Mistakes have been made. I went on that social media site. The one I keep telling myself not to go on. The one I usually only go on to get pictures from.

And I came across... um... this:


At which point, Bob! went:
Darren Cahill isn’t just a brilliant tennis mind - he’s a warlock, an ancient practitioner of binding magic and protective wards, hiding arcane symbols in strategy notebooks and stringing spells into racquets. Every serve Jannik hits is laced with intention; every missed shot by an opponent is no accident.

He made a deal years ago: power in exchange for silence and subtlety. In return, his players would rise. But there’s a cost. The magic must be fed - sometimes with injuries, sometimes with reputation, sometimes with blood.

[EDIT] 5-ish hours later and I'm about to post a fic to AO3 with the summary Darren Cahill works in shadows - in chalk and string tension, in whispered spells and bloodless offerings. Rituals. Sigils. Subtle magics scratched into hardcourt and whispered into clay.

But grass is different. Older. Easily offended. It doesn't like to be used. And Wimbledon remembers him.

What are you currently reading?

Emilia Hart - Weyward I've been wanting to read this for ages and it was absolutely worth the wait. I only started it yesterday but I'm already uhh 53% through
Kelley Armstrong - Bitten A comfort re-read, dipping in and out as my mood pleases. I have so much love for Jeremy, for Clay, for the pack
Annie Worsley - Windswept My current borrowbox read - I'm about 1/3 of the way through, and I'm not quite sure what I think of it
Alice Roberts - Ancestors I have a teenytinyhugeass crush on Alice, not gonna lie. I'm about 75% through and should hopefully finish it soon

What did you recently finish reading?

Stephen Fry - Mythos 5/5 stars. Greek mythology at its most charming, clever, and chaotic. Stephen Fry retells these ancient stories with so much warmth and humour, I felt like I was being let in on the juiciest gossip from Olympus. Smart, sharp, and ridiculously entertaining — a perfect read for mythology lovers and curious mortals alike.
T Kingfisher - A House with Good Bones 5/5 stars. What starts as an odd visit home turns into a quietly horrifying unraveling of memory, family, and something deeply wrong under the wallpaper. It’s southern gothic with teeth, and I loved every uncanny, bug-filled page.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Mary Shelley - Frankenstein
Erin Sterling - The Kiss Curse
Poppy Z Brite - Exquisite Corpse

three tiny joys, glimmers, or moments of soft comfort from today

💻 I did a solo payment run at work today. There was a lot of panic, but I got through it - everything balanced, everything submitted, and no one needed to rescue me.

📚 My gently used book club book arrived and it looks awesome! I love when second-hand books still have personality but are in really good shape.

🎾 Jannik won his Wimbledon quarterfinal against Sunshine - and there was a ridiculously adorable hug between Simone and Darren afterward. Just look at them: 😍

That’s me for today. If you feel like sharing your glimmers, I’d love to read them 💛
Be gentle with yourself, especially if the good things were hard to find.
badfalcon: (With A Cherry On Top)
[personal profile] badfalcon
You know that moment, a few pages into a new book or fanfic, where you realise, oh no (but actually oh yes)—this is going to hit every one of your buttons? I love that. Some tropes just get me, no matter how many times I’ve seen them. I will fall for them again and again, gleefully, like it’s the first time. So today, in no particular order, here are the ones that always work on me.

Fake Dating
Top-tier. Always iconic. I don't care if it's full-on romcom chaos or angsty mutual pining in disguise, if two characters have to pretend to be together for Reasons? I'm in. Especially if they’re bad at pretending. Especially if they’re too good at pretending. Especially if one of them catches feelings first and doesn’t know what to do about it. Especially that moment, you see it coming from a mile away, that moment when, as the reader, you see the date turning real but they haven't yet twigged? It's delicious.

Grumpy x Sunshine
Give me the sour-faced one who doesn’t know how to deal with feelings, and the beaming one who crashes into their life like a golden retriever in human form. Let them banter. Let them slowly learn each other’s edges. Let the sunshine one get quietly intense sometimes, and the grumpy one be soft underneath. Peak comfort.

Forced Proximity
Trapped in a lift? Snowed in at a cabin? On the run and handcuffed together? YES. Stick them in a space they can't leave, turn the tension up to eleven, and just let me watch. Bonus points if they have to share resources, or reluctantly open up. All the better if one of them is injured and needs looking after. (Caretaking! Another micro-trope I fall for every time.)

Only One Bed
Look. It's a classic for a reason. Whether it's awkward bed-sharing full of “we’re definitely not touching” tension or the inevitable snuggling that definitely doesn't mean anything (until it does), I eat it up every single time.

Small Town Romance
There's something about the slower pace, the community vibes, the way people keep running into each other all over town. Maybe one of them is just passing through. Maybe they went to school together and haven’t seen each other in years. Maybe the town itself becomes a character. I love it all. Bonus if there’s a grumpy x sunshine and only one bed in the inn.

And here’s the weird bit: the tropes I love to read aren’t always the ones I love to write. Like, I adore fake dating on the page, but I almost never write it. Same with small town settings - I’ll devour them in books, but when I try to write them, I bounce right off. Meanwhile, I find myself writing intense, emotional dynamics or complicated power shifts, even when I’m not actively looking for those as a reader. Isn’t that odd? Not in a bad way, just... interesting. Like there’s a different part of my brain at work when I write, with its own set of fixations and fascinations.

Anyway. I could probably keep going (mutual pining! found family! hurt/comfort! age gap! power imbalance! kink!), but I’ll stop before this turns into a novella. What about you—what are the tropes you can never resist? And are they the same ones you end up writing?

Journaling prompt: What are your favorite summer-associated foods?

Creative prompt: Draw art of or make graphics of summer foods, or post your favorite summer recipes. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

 

My favourite sumer food probably sounds very boring, but if one takes care to use the best quality possible, it’s delicious. Boiled white fish with new potatoes, clarified butter and chopped hard-boiled eggs. When I was a child the fish we used was northern pike, which my father or grandfather had just caught, but nowadays we usually buy fresh cod. The new potatoes come from the garden. The clarified butter must be real butter, and organic eggs taste the best. One can mix the butter and the eggs, but we prefer to keep them separate, so each can take after taste.

 

Also, for me this tastes best eaten outside the summer house, on dishes called “Grön berså” (green bower) by the Swedish designer Stig Lindberg in 1960.
