Slippy quoted this in the feral baby stay group chat, causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and said you were a sound follow. I have been scrolling and nodding vigorously, wailing, gnashing, etc, for several minutes, so. Hi.

Time to settle in with some cocoa, pie, the annual love meme, and the backlog of fic comments I've been meaning to write.

Sudden, ridiculous kpop hyperfixation ‐‐> rereading all of TWC's back issues on transnational fandom, rabbitholing into the history of American hip-hop, and winding up sitting on the floor surrounded by medieval French troubadour translations and a copy of Cyrano de Bergerac.

You're so right!!

"Buttons flew," then blithely skip straight to the sexy business?

Yesss I love friend. Oh, it's so good, I love the detailed scale pattern and the colour contrasts. I admit I asked for white because of the challenge. Did you use masking fluid?

Graphic novel panel of a young, Black, bespectacled high school teacher reflecting, "Now, Sparklee, that was a k-pop band. Each of them had an idiosyncratic style (vocab word)." Three of his students pass judgment: "You are so old," and, "Ew, they're all, like...thirty." Headshots of four very sparkly and fashionable idol boys flirt at the reader from the corner of the page.

Phew! Good job.

😱

*wanders past, contextless* Some guy was a ... Serious Adverse Event? And Lily Allen has filed a ticket? Ah yes, I see, I see.

Hee, gotcha. It would also help if there were more of what I *wanted* to read there. I'm starting to find some good authors on AO3, but I refuse to make fuckin Twitter my fannish hub!

I dunno, I'm sort of endeared. Mary Sue writers used to get such flack, and now they're all living their best lives on main with their inboxes full of prompts.

I did have to mute the tags, though. Between them and the shifter kids, there was scarcely any room left for nice, normal thirst traps 😩

The amount of mood and personality you captured in this!

People say he's more cat than bunny, and then he goes and spends half the song binkying.

This is great news. When I finished it and zoomed straight over to AO3, I could not BELIEVE how little OT4 fic there was!

3. If you had a magical birthmark-of-twined-fates representing this teammate, where would it appear on your body and what form would it take? Show your work. Here's a Sharpie.

2. Reminisce together about the last time Bang Chan tried to feed you via regurgitation.

Questions I would put on the cue cards if I were in charge:

1. When was the first time you noticed your teammate's unique scent?

Stray Kids 2 Kids Room is functionally JYPE-orchestrated Aliens Made Them Do It fanfic, isn't it? In you go, boys! We'll release you as soon as you either make out or commit seppuku.

In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness.

Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.

Gah, I can barely cope with the unscripted-but-at-least-voluntary bathrobe liveblogs. Forget the paparazzi efforts to, like, snoop on their airport luggage youtube has been trying to feed me lately. Too much knowledge is a fun-spoiler! A curse!

Oh damn, I love the idea that CSSR made it for him. To me, its most striking feature (in CQL) isn't the material, but that it has no crossguard. The METAPHOR. As if to remind, "There is nothing between you and your opponents (no law, no sect protection) but your own pure skill."

Bang Chan on a red carpet, saying into a microphone, "We are also tall." He's flanked by Hyunjin and Han. Han looks about six inches taller than the other two, because the camera has caught him mid-leap.
