Rewatched ep. 1-2 of Fairy Ranmaru! 
Watched Ninja vs. Gokudou ep. 1, wacky and interesting but this cannot end well. Watched ep. 7-12 of Slayers. Watched ep. 6-7 of Babanba Banban Vampire! Watched Dr. Stone S4E9-12 which ends part 1! <3 Watched ep. 5-8 of Delico's Nursery. 
Episode 5: I'm glad Raphael was at least able to tell someone about his loneliness.
Theodore isn't going to last long at this rate.
Man, who hurt Keith.
Isn't Cocoon stage just like a rebellious teenage phase...
Welp the kids are gone.
Episode 6: I get Deli's POV but telling a small child to take care of their infant sibling if something happens to him instead of saying something directly for Raphael when he leaves is just sad. Raphael is more than a 'big brother' and what he can do for Ui.
Yes, call out Dino for hurting Theodore! >.<
She would've confirmed it anyway but the enemy girl led the kids to Johannes, the next target for their raid.
I think the fathers could get a long way just by telling their children how they feel and that they never mean to hurt them, that they're still learning too and are trying their best.
Episode 7: The mansion was burned down, the children were taken except Ui, Dali was stabbed, Johannes was taken too...x_x
Calling dhampir gutter-rats, that's kinda sad, I know they stink to vampires but damn, they can't help being born. And a whole village of them was massacred just for existing.
Lol well at least the kids are okay for now... Will Kiki really be okay with killing off the kids one by one when Johannes doesn't talk?
Episode 8: Catarina is either a femme man or trans femme. 🤔
The village of dhampir worshiped the TRUE OF TRUMP but then were taken out by them. Man what a tragedy. :/
I don't understand Pendulum's boss's dream at all, he 'wants to make TRUMP happy'?? TRUMP is some distant god who randomly sweeps in and kills people off in weird fits.
Somewhat belatedly, let me catch up on TV logging. I watched five shows this month (although I'm cheating a bit as I only finished the fifth this evening), which were the usual mishmash of genres and tones. The shows in question were:
Season 3 of Blue Lights, a BBC police procedural miniseries set in Belfast. Although the characters are a familiar mix of well-worn stereotypes (the idealistic rookie, the maternal type who cares too much, the one who's joined the police in spite of a backlash from her community, the world-weary old hand, the maverick), they're written with heart and humanity. The true pleasure in this series, however, lies its sense of place — it's deeply grounded in its Belfast setting, and does a great job of showing the various political and social currents buffetting the city, and the wider region. The real villain, though, is austerity, in a way that I don't think I've seen explored so bluntly on UK TV in contemporary times.
A Thousand Blows, a fabulous historical miniseries by Steven Knight (the creator of Peaky Blinders), set in the East End of London in Victorian times. Here we encounter a variety of deprived, traumatised, down-on-their luck characters, who converge both in a series of boxing matches (initially bare-knuckled affairs in the local pub, later more genteel competitions organised by the aristocracy in the West End), and in a heist plot. The characters are fantastic, the writing is as lurid and melodramatic as a penny dreadful, and in essence it's a great retread of two concepts that Knight explored well in Peaky Blinders: certain people who were made to feel vulnerable and afraid become singlemindedly relentless in pursuing an existence where they will never feel fear or vulnerability again, even if they have to burn down the world and destroy all their meaningful relationships in the process, and communities battered by poverty, exploitation and lack of opportunity who accept a certain degree of violence and exploitation done to them (e.g. by gangs offering their 'protection') as long as it's people they perceive as being from their own community doing the violence. This is familiar ground for Steven Knight, and he explores it to great effect here — and hopefully in subsequent seasons!
Film Club, a sweet little six-part BBC miniseries about two rather lost twentysomethings who started a rather intense film club (no phones during the viewing, full thematic fancy dress, elaborate snacks, etc) during their university years and are desperately trying to keep its magic going some years after their graduation, when the realities of professional adult life have begun to wear them down. One character has had some form of psychological breakdown and moved back into the family home with her mother and sister, and remains trapped there by agoraphobia, and the other character is on the verge of leaving for a new job in a new city, and worrying how it will affect their friendship. It's a sweet-natured love story, with teeth, and in spite of a somewhat cinematic sense of heightened reality, the depiction of quarter life crisis existential angst is grounded in a truth that resonates a bit too much.
The latest season of Only Murders in the Building, which I thought was a massive return to form. This time, our trio of true crime podcast sleuths investigate the death of their apartment complex's doorman, which inevitably uncovers sometime much bigger, managing to skewer local New York politics (prior to today's election), oligarchy, housing pressures, and more. My patience with this series had been wearing thin two seasons ago, and I felt it was fast approaching over-milked cash cow territory, so I'm delighted to have been proved wrong. Your patience for this latest outing will probably hinge on your tolerance for New York (and New Yorker fiction about New York) nonsense, which it continues to lampoon with affection.
Riot Women, Sally Wainwright's latest love letter to the north of England and the strong, complex women who live there — this time, our cast of characters are a multigenerational group of misfits who start an all-woman punk band, with songs about menopause, feeling invisible and underappreciated, and so on. All of them are dealing with struggles at once soap operatic and banal: family tensions, empty-nested loss of sense of purpose, sandwiched pressure between troubled adult children and elderly parents in nursing homes, or showing early signs of dementia. Women's invisible labour is front and centre, but also women's anger, turned inwards and outwards. As always with Wainwright, the characters feel painfully real, and she does an incredible job of capturing the stories of the types of older women working ceaselessly (and often without much acknowledgement) upholding messy, multigenerational family households, doing all the work that no one ever notices, but whose absence would certainly be noticed. It's an absolute masterpiece — with an incredible soundtrack. (And, since this is not always a given with ostensibly feminist British cultural figures, it was fantastic to have unambiguous confirmation that Sally Wainwright's feminism is most definitely trans-inclusive.)
I don't think there was a single dud in this collection of shows!

So I was looking through the tags on Squidgeworld, and saw some tags for DR fangans I haven't seen of. I already know of Eden's Garden & rionaleonhart suggested Despair Time (even if I haven't gotten to them yet). But still wanted to know of some fangans. Please ignore the fact we're bad at getting into new stuff, it's always nice to know of new (to us) media. Most of the tags seemed to be for games are (partly) done by Zephirum on itch.io, all of them seem to be various levels of unfinished. Which still good for the creators that people wanted to create fanworks for them. The one fangan tag with a finished game attached to it was LIVe or Die. The reviews of that seem pretty good so I might give it a chance some day alongside Eden & Despair Time.

Over the Garden Wall stickers this week! (A gift from Alex last year.) One of my favorite personal Halloween traditions is rewatching it.
Having most of this week off from work was wonderful! It never feels like enough time, or like I manage to do quite enough, but I'm still fairly pleased with it. We didn't get out and do as much as I maybe wished, but it wasn't nothing, either. I also managed to be relatively productive at home: I got some cleaning projects and other chores done. I read a pretty good amount, though didn't write much. Halloween itself wasn't amazing, but it was all right.

Brainstorming for Topics: Discussions & Picspams
Nov. 4th, 2025 06:28 pmdancing_serpent posting in c_entHello everybody!
I'm trying to come up with new topics for future discussions and picspams, but I'm afraid my brain is going a bit in circles, so I'm hoping you could help me out a bit with brainstorming and suggestions.
What topics would you like to discuss? What kind of picspams would you like to see? Would you be interested in revisiting previous topics, and if yes, which ones?
( Previous topics with links under the cut: )
Btw, all of the picspam posts are indefinitely open for people who want to add more pretty pictures! *g*

What do you think about mind-bending, experimental shows? What about eccentric, genius-type characters? Do they get too confusing or condescending, or do they ramp up your curiosity?
Which are examples for "weird done well"?

As with the last two years, I had a shared haul with a few other people. And as with the last two years, I've mostly only read what I got for myself, because we kind of got... a lot. I got more than I usually do bc the organizer (Zainab Akhtar) has been talking about taking a break so this is our last Shortbox Comics Fair for a while, which is also good for me bc both my wallet and my brain could use a break from month-long comic fairs. 😂
Hero in the Serpent's Skin by Hwei 🇲🇾
Wrote about it here.
Kasalan ng Bayan | Community Wedding by Renren Galeno 🇵🇭
An overachieving student deals with the duality of (co-)organizing a community wedding while convincing her parents to file for legal separation... A story about transferrable skills and girlhood. Renren Galeno is most known (locally, at least) for her thriller comic Sa Wala | Nothing to Lose which is about a magical cockfighting chicken (which I haven't read), so I was surprised to see her put out something with such a mundane and low-stakes setting lol.
Dead Horses by Freya JN
Or as the artist calls it, feline lesboviolence. A marvelous feat of storytelling that sets you on a winding path that twists and twists—"in circles, in knots"—until it takes you back to where it begins and gives you release. The writing is patient, the dialogue snappy, and the visual journey perfectly cinematic and emotionally rewarding. There's also a soundtrack for it.
Highly recommend if you like fantasy with worldbuilding, action, messy women, rewarding twists, and a dose of horror. Hands down one of the best things I've read this year.
Layover By Lis Xu
Short comic about visiting family in Shanghai during a layover. Everything is drawn in pencil which makes the story feel like a diary entry, and the characters drawn as anthropomorphic dogs which gives it a sense of distance. It's not too detailed or serious but still feels very personal and might be triggering for people who have sick family abroad.
Lina and Eileen by Shuning Ji
Fantasy comic about a princess who dreams of being kidnapped by a dragon, and a lady knight who dreams of slaying one. Gorgeous fairy tale illustrations with a vibrant watercolor style. The plot is too YA for me, though I'm fond of the note it ended with.
Meet Me at the Seafloor by Gojiberry
A depressed marine biologist hears a siren's song, tracks it down, and meets a selkie. Life-affirming and manga-like and a nice change of pace from my dark fantasy fish romances. Also reminded me of this other manhwa I was reading at that time called I See You, which is about a woman who's about to commit suicide but is challenged by the Reaper (also a woman) to live three more months.And then they were roommates! I haven't finished that one yet.
Fashion Intervention by Chereen Francis-Roberts
28-year-old Bertie has a party to attend but her closet is haunted by a fashionable demon. 😱 Very fun oneshot about self-care through self-expression. Has the thrills of shoujo transformations/makeovers except the MC has to do it all herself and make do with what she has. I basically live in Uniqlo so #can't relate to the struggles but the outfits were super fun.
Aquatic Lives by Pepe Reyes 🇵🇭
This was actually part of last year's comic fair, but since Pepe Reyes also participated this year I wanted to read his previous entry first. This is such a beautiful piece about being in the sea. The visual style reminds me of the Delirium chapter in Sandman: Endless Nights. In his afterword he posts underwater photos he took when diving in preparation for this comic, which was very cool! His 2025 comic is about bugs (I think), though, so I'm kind of nervous about reading that. 🙈

Yes! On AO3, I only have 20 b5 fics. On Squidge, I have EIGHTYONE!! It's because that's where I used to put my B5 fics I was too embarrassed for others to see. I need to get my 2nd otw-archive instance up so I can pile it all there.
Copypaste to your journal if you wanna play too:

Woke up 20 minutes before the alarm and thought okay this day shall go well. Oh how wrong I was
I pull into the parking lot, put up my handicapped hang tag and it shattered into 5 pieces. OMFG. It was cracked but I didn't realize it was that bad. I'm gonna have to tape it together until I can get to the BMV.
Get inside to find out our secretary had a major health event and is in ICU on an ecmo which is needless to say serious shit. Scary.
the ladies basketball teams me they're leaving tomorrow for a full week and I have to move the test to be fair to them (which really isn't a problem) so long as they're here for the bone practicum this week.
And then I set up my practicum. 4 and a half hours because shit is missing AGAIN. I know who took it because it's always him. I screwed up the answer key and questions 3 times. I didn't leave work until 830 at night and didn't eat dinner til 9. blech.
I was going to share something fun for music monday that I thoughtshipperslist had but I can't find it so since it's writing month let's do music that we want to write to or have written to. One of the stories I want to get on is the "last" story in the All that Glitters Husk Overlord series (well it's where the whole series was heading, to husk/angel becoming a couple) so it gets the world's most sappy love song also for lyricaltitles bingo challenge

Nov. 3rd, 2025 10:19 pmJust a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ any, any, Every night at midnight, a mysterious figure visits people moments before they die. One night, they arrive at your door—but not for you.
+ any, any, After a loved one’s death, you begin receiving text messages from their number. Each message reveals something they never told you while alive.
+ any, any, In a vast library beyond time, every life ever lived is recorded. You’re the new archivist—and the next volume to be added bears your own name.
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].
While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.
As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word!
