Theme: Amnesty, Just Plain Fun, Platonic Life Partners, Everybody Lives/Nobody Dies AUs, Canon LGBTQ Characters, First Time

Summary: As soon as Eddie gets to the counter, Steve turns to him and says, "Back me up here. Kissing is no big deal, right?"

Steve Harrington is talking about kissing. Eddie's brain shorts out. "Uh," he says.

Reccer's Notes: Steve accompanies Robin to a gay bar where he discovers his skills with the ladies are transferable to guys. Robin and Eddie both have a crisis over it, though for different reasons. Very fun, very hot, with Steve at his himbo best.

Had a really nice recipient to work with for the

sunflower_auction, and the fic is now ready! Writing so much Suou was intimidating at first, but I'm pretty happy with the result! :)

Truth be told | Wind Breaker | Sakura/Suou | 5.3k words | rated T

Summary: Something isn't right with Suou, and Sakura thinks he recognises what it is. Their classmates hover, not as subtly as they think. Suou definitely isn't subtle at all.

Read it on Dreamwidth or AO3.

Hey, I'm making weird little games again. For the TTRPG Bookmark Game Jam on itch.io, I submitted a little bibliomantic solo game here.

There are some fun ideas in the jam already. If, say, you're in need of a bookmark that gamifies attention drift and daydreaming, I recommend checking the games out.

If you feel inspired, I invite you, too, to make a gamified bookmark and tell me about it. They don't have to be games -- the bookmark could be an asset, as folks call them, like encounter tables or pseudodice.

I'm fooling around with a couple of other ideas, but I'm delighted to have finished something.

The social media site r/PetsWithButtons (created in 2020) is full of interesting observations and questions. One of my favorites is "My cat has started to use “vacuum” as a curse word":

Basically the title. I gave him a “vacuum” button because the vacuum is stressful for him and I wanted to be able to clearly communicate that the vacuum was going to happen and let him know “vacuum all done.” He definitely knows what it means because when the vacuum is running he will push “vacuum” repeatedly and also add “nervous” in there too. But now he has started spamming vacuum after I tell him no, like he is using it as a curse word. For example, he will ask for “snackie” when we JUST got done with snackie and I will say “snackie all done” and then he will go spam the vacuum button. Yeah, ok bud, I hear you loud and clear that you feel “vacuum” about “snackie all done.” Or he snuck a lick from the end of my spicy curry dish (I did not authorize this, I looked away for ONE second), I could tell he regretted this (spicy), and then he went and pressed “snackie vacuum.” Yeah, ok bud, that snackie made your mouth feel “vacuum”.

I don’t know what I’m asking really, just commiserating. I guess maybe he needs a “mad” button?

I doubt that the "mad' button would work as well as the "vacuum" button, for the same reason that curses is only a good curse in (ironic interpretations of) bowdlerized fiction…

Some other r/PetsWithButtons samples: "My cat wants more words? or there’s too many?"; "Last night I had some regrets about giving my cat a walk button.."; "Suggestions for new words"; "URGENT: Cat not eating (treat button)".

A 2017 paper surveyed the emergence of Animal-Computer Interaction as an engineering and scientific discipline — but now it's a social media site.

For this week, for everyone who makes a donation to the BIJAN Beyond Bond & Legal Defense Fund, I will write a drabble about some character or show I know enough about to write. Since I've only written one fic since 2014 it's going to be rough, but BIJAN desperately needs the money and I'm going to try.

The Beyond Bond & Legal Defense Fund (the Bond Fund) raises money for immigration bonds to free people in ICE prisons in Massachusetts and Rhode Island or those detained elsewhere who are from or returning to MA.

Donate.

Tell me you made a donation and give me a prompt! If I don't know the source material we can negotiate.

(If you can't give money to a US org, make a donation to an org in your country that helps refugees and undocumented migrants stay.)

Current Mood: tired

holiday_wishes

Hi everyone,

I'm Tamsin. I am a social worker and currently training to become a therapist. I live in Austria. I've been participating in this comm for years, first on lj and then here on dw and I'm looking forward to taking part again. I already have some lists bookmarked where I hope I'm able to fulfil some wishes.

Used/self-made items are lovely and very welcome.

1. Something from my amazon wish list amazon us / amazon germany

2. Poetry books - books with poems in them, books analyzing poetry, books about writing poetry

3. Chocolate - I'm not big on liquor-filled stuff and raisins, otherwise I'm up for anything. I have a giant sweet tooth. I've gotten to try some cool stuff through this community

4. Jewelry - I'm especially fond of bracelets and necklaces

5. A care package - I love fandom, books, food, owls, sloths and surprises.

6. Tell me about your favorite book reviewers - I read in a wide range of genres, in german and english. I'm on the look out for interesting, thoughtful reviewers. For example I really like Jo Walton Reads. But honestly am open to check out anyone that you enjoy and would recommend.

For my address please PM me.

As always, thank you for looking at my list! I hope you’ll have many moments of contentment, creativity and joy this holiday season. Happy Holidays!
