Hmm I think mine would probably have to be the Songxuexiao piss kink.

Elijah Wood on Last Meals… what an incredible get for the show, first of all, but also, what an incredibly charming, funny, positive person he is. Genuinely a joy to see interviewed.

I DON'T really have any noTPs for mdzs fandom, which is honestly a lovely place to be in. I do have some ships I'm not particularly interested in, but I'll still read them if a premise is sufficiently interesting or a friend wrote something I want to support!

In the interest of being a petty bitch for fandoms long-past: I hated how popular Sterek was in wolfteen fandom.

I've been in fandom since the early 2000s and I always thought ship wars were stupid, which makes it extra stupid that I'm now, in this the big year of our internet 2026, nostalgic for a good old-fashioned ship war.

My dream for Last Meals is a guest who has some definitive (but not mainstream Christian) religious beliefs with an afterlife and the like so that they actually have a concrete and specific answer when they’re asked what they think happens after you die.

Explaining POV to a new writer I'm coaching and looking up some resources for something that goes into the difference between POV, narrator, and authorial voice, only to be absolutely clotheslined by the fact that most of these don't even distinguish between third person objective and omniscient.

Americans and British people arguing in the comments of an international facebook post about the meaning of the word "cider" and how misleading it is that it's alcoholic in one country and a drink commonly given to children in the other. Canadians, coming in with the steel chair of "we use both"—

Things that are happening for me on June 6: - opening of Songxuexiao Love Week - niece’s baptism

Truly patriarchy is a prison for us all. Once again I am having paradigm-shifting personal revelations about the interconnectedness of food, health, and culture. This is why I think everyone should learn at least a little bit about food history.

I’ve touched on this already but another realization I’ve had was “ohhhh basically every food that’s considered Manly is high in cholesterol and every food that helps lower cholesterol is considered Unmanly, no wonder men are statistically way more prone to heart disease than women.”

Making Swedish “meatballs” for dinner tonight from a variation on my family’s bean burger recipe. Stay tuned for results.

Did this again by not knowing the name of one of the Jackass guys.

ARE YOU READY? GET HYPE!!!

Tell Me More Concepts.

blue slimes make excellent centerpieces in any garden, but take care to water them frequently and maintain their size, lest they wander away with your prize koi fish!

I wanna try something weird. I'm suffering a creative malaise. I want YOU to prompt me a fic that makes use of At Least one item on this list. Preference for sxx but will entertain other ships. No crack. Ideally under 10k, but also not just "modern AU where they do [kink]" with no added complexity.

Spell of Yeast Banishment.

Revisiting this excellent discussion question I asked last year and I have to say I’m thoroughly delighted with every single reply I got.

My family’s longstanding tofu broccoli stir fry recipe as reimagined for noodles, plus smashed cucumber salad on the side. 🍽️🍜🥒

Delightful to be watching the National Theatre’s The Importance of Being Earnest and observing my roommate discover in real time one of the progenitors of my husband’s great hobby of Saying Words Recreationally.

Whump where the victim is a Good Person who doesn’t Deserve this but thinks they do because their self-loathing is brutal vs. whump where someone is the victim of their own bad choices/self-destruction vs. whump where something has happened without justification and “deserving” it is irrelevant. 🤔

if someone says they’re from the usa and manages to leave it at that, it’s because they’re a drop shipper and they’re lying to you

Making a loving and affectionate collection, as a Canadian married to an American, of weirdly specific American cultural quirks that you wouldn’t think would be that specific but bizarrely they are.

Less than 24 hours between tumblr announcing a new feature, rolling it out with zero notice, inventing a completely unique horrible feature unlike any extant elsewhere on social media, and completely reversing it due to the enormous community outpouring of dismay. Absolutely incredible. No notes.

I wrote like maybe 200 words if that but I WROTE SOMETHING.

Can you IMAGINE seeing this performance live as someone who hadn't seen Sinners and didn't know what it was about. I would have expired.

The funniest thing about Golden winning best original song is that I don't even think Golden is the best song in K-Pop Demon Hunters.

In celebration of @brawlite.badvibes.party's birthday today: I have completed my taxes. Have you done your taxes yet? Do it for Brawls.

Ah, the pre-show tootling.

I love pornography and perverts

Thing that annoys me unduly which I had forgotten about until I started looking at old OC docs where military rank is relevant: there are ranks in the army/air force called "captain" and "lieutenant." There are also ranks in the navy called "captain" and "lieutenant." These ranks are not equivalent.

Love to absolutely clothesline my husband telling me some weird pop culture thing by interrupting him to tell him I don't know who he's talking about or don't know the song he clearly assumed I would definitely know.

Time to go to the seafood restaurant and watch my husband absolutely fuck up a lobster. 🦞

Poll on tumblr: Searching your url (or past urls), are you mentioned on fanlore.org? Me, merrily searching myself: Surely there will be nothing, I don't think I am significant enough for— Me: Me: Why the fuck is there a page for Ariane/Finn and why the FUCK am I listed as a notable fanwork for it.

Poem going around tumblr which a user has specifically re-translated in order to better preserve the scansion, tone, and rhyme scheme of the original, except the new translation they did fucks up the scansion in a really jarring way in one of the lines and kills me instantly.

Alex is showing me True Grit (2010). Mattie Ross you are perfect to me. Mattie Ross you are the girl of all time. Mattie Ross I would die for you.

Happy birthday (early) to Alex, I spent literally all afternoon in the kitchen. 🍽️

Also applies in Canada.

Rae resurrected this WIP meme I made ages ago which ve's apparently been sitting on for years before we ever even met, so I'm resurrecting it too. Vote now on your devices for whether you'd rather hear me talk about Disappearance or the big WIP I plan to finish this summer.

It's been three months so it's officially time for me to throw myself back into running another Songxuexiao event.

Seafood buffet night at a fancy Spanish/Latin fusion place… everything is so good and I am going to explode.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream has been my favourite since I was a kid (unsurprising given who I am as a person) but the best shows I’ve ever seen have been productions of Macbeth and Othello.

I'm turning thirty-five later this year and have been using computers regularly since 1997. I have never connected to the internet using dial-up.

In order always (and extensively planned as well), because if I don’t know the emotional context in scene two I have no way to build it to a coherent conclusion by scene five. It’s all about the throughline.

Why does the hold music for doctors’ offices always sound like you are listening to it via holding a seashell up to your ear to hear the crashing waves of the ocean and somehow also picking up a distant radio station.

The greatest trick risotto ever pulled was convincing everyone it must be dairy-based and that trying to make substitutions to make it vegan or dairy-free would be a huge hassle. If you have ever avoided learning to make risotto because you assume it’s full of dairy, I am here to assure you: no.

Man it has been A WHILE since I have gotten to do some really extensive beta work. Truly there is nothing more satisfying to me, outside of writing itself, than helping someone else dig right into the meat and guts of a story.

Ten and a half years and 2,366 comments in my AO3 inbox, and I finally got my first spam/scam comment! Does this also mean I've made it?

Whenever people talk about how restaurant food is never as good as nostalgic home cooking, or nothing you can get at a fancy place will ever taste better than something from a good diner or food truck, I’m always like… damn, I wish I agreed, but alas I am SUPER EXCITED about pretentious restaurants.
