Holy shit: university library access. It's probably good that I'm not in a historical fandom right now, because guess what I'd be doing instead of homework.

*remembers doing a bunch of Afghan War reading for Sherlock Holmes fandom last time around*

This live show is great, also. Low-key looking at tickets for when they're on the coast next month.

I think there will be more in depth obituaries to follow, but here's a couple I liked.

CBC: 'Like watching Gretzky play hockey:' Colleagues remember actor Graham Greene.

CBC (Video): Remembering Graham Greene (interview with Jesse Wente).

I just saw him in Sweet Summer Pow Wow last week. Hard to imagine he's gone.

I've had a chill long weekend with few obligations (!!), so had the chance to bask in recent reveals from two exchanges that I didn't sign up for this year: [community profile] raremaleslashex and [community profile] caseficexchange. Here are some of the works I enjoyed! (All works still anonymous!)

Casefic recs

Bigpaw Walks Among Us (fic)
Bunnicula series - James Howe, ensemble, 9391 words, rated general audience
omg, this was a gem! A perfect extension of the books, charming, goofy, and fun. The animals set out to solve the mystery of Bigpaw, with schemes, hijinks, and puns.

Paw and Order: The Absent Author (fic)
due South, Fraser & Ray K & Diefenbaker, 4269 words, rated general audience
This is so cute, charming, and fun, a cozy mystery wrapped up in typical dS quirky magical realism. Plus silliness with dogs!!

Love This Face (Love the Person Wearing It) (fic)
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Edgin/Xenk, Edgin & Holga, 6332 words, rated teen
A great casefic where Edgin & Holga follow a lead on a monster, and Xenk shows up tracking the same thing. Nicely paced plot, solid characterization, and great simmering chemistry between Edgin/Xenk.

who hosts house parties on a monday (fic)
Legends of Tomorrow, Zari 1.0/Ray Palmer, 5083 words, rated teen
A cute and fun undercover-as-a-couple mission fic, with canon-typical Legends shenanigans! A great caper, super fun.

[Minicomic] Retrofit (comic)
Original Work, Female Veteran Battle Android turned Private Investigator, rated teen
Loved this character design! Such a cool combo of cyberpunk and noir, and great use of a limited colour palette.

RMSE recs

Anything but Equinox (fic)
Brilliant Minds, Josh Nichols/Oliver Wolf, 4501 words, rated teen
A fantastic post-S1 take on the tension, reservations, and reconciliation between Josh and Oliver. Lovely characterization and sharp dialogue - really loved this.

galeocerdo (fic)
Jaws movies, Martin Brody/Matt Hooper, 1442 words, rated mature
Loved the intensity of this! Matt uses a blowjob to get Brody to go back out onto the boat. Excellent stuff.

All Ears (art)
Star Trek DS9, Jake Sisko/Nog, rated teen
Aww, art of a soft and intimate oo-mox scene!

Heather Cox Richardson: August 31, 2025.
Almost one hundred and forty-three years ago, on September 5, 1882, workers in New York City celebrated the first Labor Day holiday with a parade.

Things that are making me happy:

  • Change Gamer, the surprise secret finale of Game Changer! It was so fun and so full of heart, I loved it (and loved this whole season!).

  • Wading in the ocean along a beautifully shallow, sandy beach, so cool and refreshing on a blisteringly hot day.

  • This gorgeous animated pixel art, made entirely in MS Excel 2007 (how even!!): Aspen Red Forest by [tumblr.com profile] anasabdin [moving gif]

  • The upcoming long weekend, omg, it can't come soon enough!


I'm planning to sign up for much-beloved exchange [community profile] ficinabox (sign-ups open until Aug 31; late nominations accepted until Aug 30!) Very excited for swaps and fun mediums!

And also [community profile] fandomgiftbasket is back, yay! I'm planning to sign up for this one, too. (Sign-ups open until Sept 5.)
