Hi!

This is spurred by a tiktok I saw earlier where the person dies, meets god (seemed specific to Christianity since it was for the deconstructing crowd) and bows at god's fate excited to meet them. Then god tells them they're now a slave and will do what they're told or they'll meet their feet outside of "god's house". It was wonderfully scary (I hope someone else has seen it b/c I can't find it now!).

If someone could recommend a book like that OR other books with deconstruction elements/struggles with spirituality where you are confronted with the actual god/s. It doesn't need to be overt horror either but should be uncomfortable but prefer the Christian god/monotheistic religion with a modern setting as it may not work the same with ancient Roman/Greek for example!

If fate had taken a turn, one Enterprise-D crew member would have been quite different. Yes, Wesley Snipes was nearly cast in "Star Trek: The Next Generation."

First of all, relax! I'm far from being picky, and I can pretty much guarantee that I'll love whatever you decide to create for me. These are nothing but guidelines, for you to take to heart or ignore to your heart's content. Also, hey! You're writing me fic or drawing me art! That's automatically a good reason for me to love you, no matter what. So, please, keep that in mind. Trust me, you can pretty much do no wrong. ♥

More details under the cut. )

no-resolution:

Not to be all “if my ship was endgame the show would be better” but I seriously think that ATS taking Cangel out back and shooting it in the head (and its disrespect of Cordelia in general) after season 3 makes the show, and particularly Angel’s arc, worse. Angel has been alone for over 100 years, is haunted by his past relationships (Buffy and Darla), and is all tied up in the Shanshu Prophecy and his greater destiny, and I think that giving him a meaningful relationship that can keep him grounded the way that Cordelia does marks a new beginning in his life and gives him something to fight for besides atoning for his past actions and assuaging his guilt. As it is, Angel does have development as a character, but the loss of Cordelia and the Connor memory reset post-season 4 effectively undo a lot of it, and he’s left in season 5 much the way he was in season 1. It’s also just like… we spent so much time setting this relationship up just to throw it away. It really sucks to watch “You’re Welcome” and see them be this power couple and know that this is what we could have had all through seasons 4 an 5 if this show didn’t have such disdain for romance and for women in general.

I’m looking for some good old fashioned Southern-fried gothic horror. Only rule is no vampires. Give me your bog monsters, haunts, swamp things, haunted plantations, necrophiliacs, cursed families, etc.

Time loop horror

Any recs revolving around a character stuck in a time loop? Maybe time travel gone wrong.

Bonus points for alternate dimensions or other mindfuck shenanigans.

Think Higurashi, Groundhog Day, Source Code, Happy Death Day, Edge of Tomorrow, Inception...but horror

Wow, I only made one post last year? I'm here every day, reading, so I keep up with anyone still posting here.

I didn't put up the Yuletide polls this year. Just didn't have the oomph. It's been an oomph-sapping kind of year or so, hasn't it? (Fuck me -- just looked it up, and it's literally the one-year anniversary of that shitbag's inaguration.)

ANYWAY. Fun stuff. Things I have posted since...a while ago.

So as you can see, I'm generally obsessed with those three things. Putting more silliness and gay porn into the world.

Doing just fine.

It's been well below freezing all day, and the only time I've spent outdoors was the pair of bike rides to and from the gig location, which itself is barely a 20 block ride. It was more than enough for my fingers and ears to get uncomfortably chilled, though I take it as a point of pride that continuing to mask up means my nose and mouth are just fine. I'm still thinking often on how safe I am for this cold snap - a safe place to sleep, hot water, layers to bundle up. Mostly, the tiredness comes from having rearranged a fairly sizable home library's substantial fiction section, up and down a stepladder, picking up armfuls of books over and over, and it's not digging a ditch, but between hours of that and the cold, I'm feeling pretty wiped.

I think next time I go, I'll bring a canned coffee with me. See about heading this off ahead of time.

The '70s was filled with iconic and groundbreaking TV shows, but these 10 stand as the definitive series of the decade.

The conference was interesting, if maybe 1 panel too long (it ended at 4:55 pm, but the last panel was...not great, imo), though the lunch options were, to me, appalling. (Many people ate and enjoyed the sandwiches but there was not one that I would eat. I made do with salad, chips, and cookies.) My boss and I both felt validated by some things being mentioned that we already do and some that we are planning to do (if the new board chair approves), so that part was good too.

It was hard to get up (it was hard to sleep, knowing I had to get up 90 minutes earlier than usual), but I did it. I also saw two fun signs on the way: "Lube Entrance" and "You can ship anything." As [personal profile] devildoll said when I told her, I'll take AO3 tags for $200, Alex. *g*

Now I'm going to try to stay awake for another hour and then go to bed because I am le tired.

About A Place In The Kinki Region

Quick overview before I dive into my situation.

“My friend is missing. When he disappeared, he’d been working on a magazine about the paranormal—his first real job as an editor. With almost no budget, he’d resorted to digging through back issues and unused research material, looking for inspiration. As he did, a terrifying truth began to emerge about a certain place in the Kinki region. I have collected the relevant articles, interviews, and other materials in this book. And once you have understood everything, I would like to ask for your cooperation. I hope you will get in touch.”

Im not sure if you guys have seen the recent buzz about this book, it is temporarily sold out in physical copies, but I managed to snag it on kindle. However when I try to tap to the next page, my kindle takes me back to the table of contents each time I finish a chapter. I was wondering if anyone’s picked up the book and is having the same issues, and also if anyone wants to discuss!

I found this intriguing. YouTuber KnittingCultLady, who is an Air Force veteran and author about two books on military culture from the standpoint of cults(!), put out this rather frustrated video clarifying how members of the military respond to illegal orders. The tl;dr is they will follow orders of ambiguous legality, and refuse to follow orders of obvious illegality, and what is obviously illegal may not be what civilians think.

2026 Jan 18: KnittingCultLady on YT: Some Examples of Recent Malicious Compliance from the Military, ALSO Listen Carefully To My Words:


She doesn't put it this way, but it sounds from what she says that what makes something obviously illegal is that it resulted in a courtmartial or other nigh-universal condemnation when tried previously. Orders that are for doing things that are war crimes by the letter of the law but which did not result in prosecution or other negative consequences for the perpetrators when done in the past do not trigger the sense that they are illegal, e.g. if it was okay for Bush to seize Noriega, then clearly it must be legal for Trump to seize Maduro.

Universal Studios has short hours during the off season, making it inconvenient to go for dinner on weeknights, but today we had an opportunity to go for lunch since we were sort of partway there.

The park wasn't crowded at all, but all the good parking was taken, so we had to park at the ET parking structure, which is at the far end of CityWalk, but at least that meant we got a nice walk to and from the park as well as inside.

Not dead. Just a lot of stuff.

Mom has been moved to the new place (which is also memory care -- she hates being locked in) and when I visited her last week it was not great at all. The place looks nice but mom was insistent that she needed to go back to OldPlace and I could take her. (I declined. Six times.). I need to decide how often I'm visiting her, because I can't do every week.

Wrote a story for Yuletide (pinch hit) and I love the source and I have no energy to write up all the stuff I want to say

Have FOP flareup under my jaw. I can still chew but mouth opening is restricted -- about the size of a slice of bread's thickness -- and chewing is effortful. Have to take smaller bites so there's more chewing needed too. Have started prednisone (ee) so hopefully that will help. No clue if this is permanent or will resolve. At night it feels like I have something heavy resting on my neck; it doesn't interfere with breathing but it's kinda uncomfortable and getting to sleep is harder.

I've been playing a (free with gacha elements) casual life sim game called Heartopia. So cute. I've just adopted a cat (golden spotted, looks like a bengal) and have unlocked the option to adopt a dog but can't decide which one (golden retriever I name Phoebe? Black lab named Yahtzee? Shiba Inu? Corgi? Husky?). Also you can interact with wildlife. So much cuteness! I love.
