For the

rarepairexchange I received a lovely Still Star-Crossed fic (that had good worldbuilding, good characterization, and excellent research backing it up):

you and you are heart in heart (2,289 words). Even now, two months after Paris’ defeat outside the walls of Verona, unrest still fermented. The peace treaty which had once hinged on Benvolio’s execution now hinged on Benvolio and Rosaline’s wedding.

And there was a lot of other good fic that you should check out. Here are some I liked:

(Mood: Cute, Fun, Catchy, Energetic. Genre; 8-Bit and EDM blend for the song style. The lead vocalist has a frequent high pitched voice. He's friendly, and cute. The character that's singing or rapping is someone who would not be able to stand still long--which is why the mood and music style should constantly carry that playful and catchy energy throughout the majority of the song. The music starts after Kirby's done speaking during the intro. The music should start fading out towards the end, so Kirby's voice won't be drowned out.)

[Intro, spoken.]
"It was only a matter of time until you would come see me again."
"Don't worry! I understand. I'm also busy from time to time. You know how it goes; defending Dreamland, making sure DeeDee doesn't get into trouble. Visiting my other friends, and enjoying all the wonderful *food* there is to offer..."
"You *missed* me? Awww, the feeling's mutual! So, do you have something in mind for this next song?"

[Verse 1]
I like-like-liiiike this fun 8-bit viiiibe,
Combined with a catchy E.D.M. driiiive!
Reminds me of the retrooo arcades.
What kinds of games do you like to plaaaay?
(play, play-pl-pl-pl-pl-play)

Would Space Invaders fit to your mood? (pew-pew-pew, pew, pew!)
Or would you go for something that's new? (new, new, new)
Even though I've been featured in more than a few,
It's not like I'd claim to know more than yoooou...

[Pre-Chorus]
Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony console?
Or on the computer, if that's how you roll?
I'm up for whatever, it's up to you to choooose.
It doesn't matter, I've got no time to looooose!

[Chorus]
I-I-I I'll be your gaming buddy.
I-I-I I'll be your gaming buddy.
Pick a title or more for you and me.

[Verse 2]
I see you have a wide selection.
So many games. C'mon, let's have fun!
P.V.P? P.V.E.? First shooter?
R.P.G.? Something cozy? A platformer?

...Maaaaybe not survival horror.
(I usually don't like scary games.)

Digital board games are alright with me!
Is that Wingspan and Armello I see?
Evolution, Splendor, Carcassonne
Sagrada, Everdell, Dicey Dungeons..

Let's see you pick somethin'! (pick, pick, pick somethin')

[Pre-Chorus]
Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony console?
Or on the computer, if that's how you roll?
I'm up for whatever, it's up to you to choooose.
It doesn't matter, I've got no time to looooose!

[Chorus]
I-I-I I'll be your gaming buddy.
I-I-I I'll be your gaming buddy.
Pick a title or more for you and me.

I-I-I I'll be your gaming buddy.
I-I-I I'll be your gaming buddy.
Pick a title or more for you and me.
(You and meeee)

[instrumental]

[Bridge]
I'm not really picky!
I want us to have a good time (time)
I see that you're *smiling*!
That's the spirit, oh friend of mine! (mine)

I'd rather not see you frowwwnnn
Keep that frown upside dowwwwnnn

[Chorus]
I-I-I I'll be your gaming buddy.
I-I-I I'll be your gaming buddy.
Pick a title or more for you and me.

I-I-I I'll be your gaming buddy.
I-I-I I'll be your gaming buddy.
Pick a title or more for you and me.
(You and meeee)

[Verse 3]
After some hours of indoor fun time,
We'll go out while there's still sunshine.
A relaxing picnic would be so great!
Or maybe a walk to finish the day.

[Outro, spoken]
"We should see each other more often!"
"Hehehe, awwww what a big squeeze of a hug! So nice, and warm--just like you..."
"I'm glad I was able to help you feel better."

CUUUUUUTE! I love how friendly and optimistic and adorable the speaking parts sound, in addition to the rest of the song. ^^

Oops.

Also, is October 31 really tomorrow? I am...not prepared to operate on this timeframe. (At least my evening plans are now squared away. But there's still a lot of prep to do.) Anyway, here's:

What I Finished Reading This Week

Cunning Folk – Tabitha Stanmore
Cunning Folk is a historical overview of "practical magic" in medieval England: who provided it, who requested it, for what reasons, and how government, the church, and society thought about it. It also proves that it's possible to write an informative book in a conversational tone. Stanmore approaches the topic with curiosity and respect for the people who made use of it; after all, what her subjects were doing was as rational at the time as turning to ChatGPT for answers is in 2025. She brings real insights to the topic--an aha! one for me being that authorities drew a distinction between magic and witchcraft, with the caster and/or customer's intent the determining factor in identifying the latter. Her explorations of the roles that class and gender played in attitudes toward practitioners (unsurprisingly, women lost that one), and society's multitudinous attitudes toward magic, full stop, were also illuminating. And I appreciate Stanmore's honesty: she regularly prefaces sentences or entire passages with "My preferred interpretation is..." or "I like to think that..." and that is all I want from a nonfiction author, that they make clear what is fact and what is only one of many possible explanations. At 230 pages Cunning Folk is quite a short book--certainly an overview where I would have loved an exhaustive 800 page tome on the topic--but it is a very good overview indeed, and the footnotes will allow anyone who's interested in going further to do so.

What I Am Currently Reading

Before Scotland – Alastair Moffat
With under 30 pages to go I'll finish reading this one tonight or tomorrow.

What I'm Reading Next

This week I acquired Of Dice and Men by David Ewalt and The Wild Hunt by Emma Seckel.

これで以上です。

I’ve finally, finally begun playing Cinderella Phenomenon Evermore! It’s been a thousand years… (of me saying that “I’ll play it soon!!” and then failing to do so). Honestly, I almost failed again, in that when I sat down Saturday evening with the intent to play it, I found myself fretting over whether I was in the “right mood” to play it, if that would damage my enjoyment & whether I should wait for a better time, etc… but then I told myself that if I kept waiting for the “perfect” time to play this, I’d never get around to playing it at all.

So I went for it, and I’m very glad that I did, because I’m having a great time! So far, I’ve done Karma, Rod, and Rumpel’s route, in that order. My thoughts on each of the routes below!( spoilers beneath the cut )

And that’s where I am now! I intend on playing Fritz’s route next, and then finishing up with Waltz.

We've been lucky enough this year to have a quite pleasant long fall. Last week we wanted to enjoy the nice day, and so we went over to Hudson Gardens. It's an easy walk, and always pretty.

Some very nice fall colors!

In Colorado, most of our fall color is shades of gold (which I do love!) but it's a little novel to have things more in the orange and red tones.

I was delighted that there were still a lot of roses blooming. And I'm always happy with bees.

More of the gold colors. Lovely!

There were some neat crayfish. The one that's on the right was HUGE. Freshwater lobster. (And I was pleased with the reflection of the leaves.)

Thirteen more pictures (flowers, frogs...):

Frog! :D (I was hoping there would still be a few frogs out, and was happy that there were.)

Surprisingly, the roses were still extremely happy! We've had a couple frosts by now, so I'd expected the roses would be gone. They were actually looking better now than they were earlier in the summer. They weathered the season change better than the Japanese beetles, ha.

Always love the candy-stripe flowers.

Bee!

Very perfect red rose.

Bee on the approach.

A blanket flower.

Moth! :D

More fall color!

I do really like the orange.

We stopped at the cafe for a snack. I got a smoothie instead of coffee, and it was so good. Pear, peach, apricot. Delicious.

This is once again "Magic of the Jack o' Lanterns" season, where they have a bunch of displays of carved (foam) pumpkins. They're neat, but they are identical to last year. (Plus there was a windstorm the day before, and a bunch had fallen and hadn't yet been picked back up...)

Squirrel!

While we saw quite a few crayfish, there were relatively few (not none, but few) frogs throughout most of the gardens, so we went back to the first pond to visit the first batch of frogs again, haha.

Three frogs! (One in the upper right, one in the lower left, and one above that.)

Another lovely day that I'm glad we got to enjoy.

(Mood: Heartbreak, A fierce longing, Soulful. Genre: Ambient pop, emotional female vocals.)

[Verse 1]
While split apart
I'm barely hanging on
Hoping with broken heart
This feels so wrong

So wrong

My heavy emotions swarm
Been waiting so long
Enduring the inner storms
Dark clouds, and sad thoughts

Sad thoughts

[Chorus]
Love is still there...
I know it won't be leaving
Can't always hold back tears
The frustration damning...

They are still gone...
I know. I'm sure they're okay
But I'm not always strong
This sadness, an immense weight

[Verse 2]
Despair can stay away.
I've managed to cope,
As I live on, day by day.
I refuse to give up hope.

My honest wishes won't fade,
Fragile dreams that I hold.
Clinging to them to stay,
This lifeline I cannot let go.

[Chorus]
Love is still there...
I know it won't be leaving
Can't always hold back tears
The frustration damning...

They are still gone...
I know. I'm sure they're okay
But I'm not always strong
This sadness, an immense weight

[instrumental]

[Bridge]
Hanging in there...

Just hanging in there...

Hanging in there...

Doing all I can to hang in there...

Hanging.
In.
There.

Iiiiiii miss themmmmmm!
Iiiiiii--!

I've said it more than once. I'll say it again!
Never do I want to have to make such painful decisions!
Never againnnnn! Never againnnnn!

The tears fall... once more.

Never againnnnn! Never againnnnn!

[Chorus]
The love I have is still there...
(This looovvvvve)
I know it won't be leaving
It's hard to hold back the tears
The returning frustration damning...

They are still gone...
(Still gonnnnne)
I know. I'm sure they're okay
But I'm not always strong
This sadness, an immense weight

[Outro]
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waiting for the heartfelt reunionnn

Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waiting for that moment to hold them close

Every little bit of patience, strained
As the circumstances remain the same

Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...

Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...

[instrumental, build up]

Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...

Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...
Waitinnnng...

This is so beautiful, so moving. This expresses the love and longing, mixed in with the sadness I've felt while waiting with all the hope I've got left to reunite with the sweeties again.

There's a fic title meme going around the f-list, and all I can think about is, "Uh, I literally never read titles." Perfunctory apologies to all the writers who put actual effort into titling their fic.

As for mine, if I'm not just posting them as Untitled #, I hit the random button on Wiktionary until I find a word that is relevant enough to use instead.

Fun fact: out of 16 million works on AO3, I am the only person to have ever use the word necrocracy in a title.

Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count. (Using whichever fic I feel like when there are options. God. I feel like I could have just done crossovers...)

A And Sinister, X-Files/Greek myth (just trust me) It's perilous to bargain with dark women at crossroads.
B Bad News on the Doorstep, Highlander/Marvel Hopefully, they're going to get along. Maybe like a bar afire.
C Cherries In Winter, Victor/Victoria In the winter of 1935, soon to be 1936, Andre Cassell's club has a new opening act.
D Double Vision, Marvel (various canon) Steve Rogers learned his guilt-trip glare from his mother. It can have interesting effects.
E Exemptions and Indulgences, Highlander/Discworld I AM AFRAID YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION.
F Fire In The Hole, Highlander/X-Files/Buffy Possibly the weirdest part of Mulder's night so far -- and it said a lot about the whole thing -- lay in the wolf being the one that tried to get out of his way to let him shoot the basilisk again.
G A Game of Cat and Cat, Highlander/Blood Ties Two acquaintances from the court of Henry VIII, five hundred years later: who's playing with whom?
H Hot Pursuit, due South/Highlander Law enforcement officers can't resist hot pursuit. 800 year old FBI agents are no exception to this rule, especially when it's a Mountie in a speeding carriage chasing a wolf through Chicago.
I The Innocent Sleep, Highlander New Year's Eve at Joe's bar. Written for Amireal's International Nap Day challenge.
J Joe Dawson, BAMF, Highlander/Stargate SG-1 https://archiveofourown.org/works/763847
K Kindred Spirits, Highlander/Leverage Rebeca learned about cons from one of the best.
L Life Cycles, Marvel Sometimes 'daddy's girl' isn't a description so much as a warning label.
M Mismatched Pieces, Marvel/Highlander (Opportunities 'verse) Very few targets survive the Winter Soldier.
N Not To Plan, X-Files/Stargate SG-1 The second stupid thing the goons did was throw Mitchell in the same cell with Krycek.
O Open(ing) Doors, Leverage Game and negotiation theory suggests that opening up and vulnerability can in fact lead to the best mutual outcomes. Grifters use their own apparent vulnerabilities to achieve their aims. Mix well, stir, and add an angry Eliot Spencer, who grifts quite well for a ~~hitter~~ retrieval specialist.
P Parched, Highlander Blood cleans off a blade so easily, really. Some days it's dry and difficult work. Other days it's as easy as running that blade through a man. This morning, though -- this morning was easy, both the killing and the aftermath.
Q Quiet Breaks, Numb3rs Ian hasn't talked to either Eppes brother since they hunted down a black box together. He's been a little busy with this.
R Respite, Buffy/X-Files Two heroes sorely in need of a vacation run into each other. They also run into tea, cocoa, conversations about vampires, and really good pancakes.
S The Scent of Salt and Wood, Rivers of London/Forever Kissing a perfect stranger in an alley is unusual behavior for both of them.
T Time Upon A Once, Amber Chronicles/Wizard of Oz/Fairy tales A thorny tale of 1 missing prince, 2 princesses, 2 cats, 3 witches, and a silver bird. Some overlap possible among categories; partridge in a pear tree not included. Drinking while reading not recommended.
U Unanswered Riddles, Riddlemaster of Hed She woke in the night knowing that her doom had missed her by an hour at most... and that it was still waiting for her. So Lyra got up, and packed, and went to meet it.
V Vintage Appreciation, Forever Knight/Southern Vampire books (Charlaine Harris) Two vampires discussing rare vintages.
W White Horses and Tails, Nero Wolfe/Highlander Saul Panzer never forgets a face, or where and when he saw it. Connor MacLeod has lived, and done business in, New York City for two centuries, off and on. In combination, that can lead to a problem.
Y You See Two Geek Geniuses and Several Computers, Leverage/Warehouse 13 They were in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.

X & Z don't have titles. I shall have to fix this. 24/26, and 291 works. Nice!

This week, fancy books and skull from Sunset Road (part of their "Haunted Library" set.) Also a spiderweb from a set I bought at the Butterfly Pavilion a couple years ago.

This was a good week. Feeling sick for much of the mid-week wasn't great, but at least it seemed to resolve quickly. We went to Hudson Gardens, which was beautiful and a perfect day to be out. Work was fine. On Saturday we went to "Spirits and Spirits," which was our big Halloween thing for the year. It was a lot of fun, and I'm really glad we decided to do it. I wish I hadn't had to go back to work for one more day afterwards, but alas.

Goals for the week:

We did attend Spirits and Spirits
I picked up my ballot
I read What Moves the Dead
I worked on my book reviews
I did not work on my reading page
I did not make that stupid phone call
I continued my October Devotional
I did collect new branches for the katydids
I started Queen Demon
I wrote up the intro for the Alice Isn't Dead/Sparrow Hill Road crossover

For my October Devotional:

19 - I collected branches for the katydids
20 - Definitely appreciated some beautiful fall colors; got a pumpkin latte; bought fancy bread for French toast
21 - Went on a really nice walk at Hudson Gardens; splurged on some Halloween pins for myself
22 - Alex made another zucchini cake
23 - I did some plant care; got sweet potato fries
24 - We went and got pumpkin milkshakes (again)
25 - We went to Spirits and Spirits

Tracked habits:

Work - 4.5/7 - took a half day on Saturday
Household Maintenance - 5/7
Physical Activity - 3/7
Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 1/7 - over 500 words

I am signed up for WritingMonth and so can you! If you want to be buddies, I'm 'kalloway' there as well. ^_^ My goal is 100 stories but that is 100 very short stories. Last year I managed 80 despite my life being absolutely on fire so maybe I can manage the full 100 and I think a We Didn't Start The Fire joke goes here or something.

Did the pre-signup for a secret santa in the one little gunpla discord I'm in. Offered to subsidize a local friend for the next month if necessary. (probably necessary) Gonna try to toss some cash at the food pantry. (obstructed more by their hours being counter to mine than anything - obviously a me-problem) Still debating how much I want to do with

holiday_wishes, though I suspect the annual 'I can give more!' will envelop me at some point even if I want to humbug.

Comic-con is on the 22nd so I suppose I need to actually start sorting through things. I'm burning some vacation time the week before so at least I'll be mildly rested and hopefully so tired of looking at my stuff that I just toss it in the bags of whoever walks by our table. Or something.

Finished watching the quarter's JFF films and will, as always, aspire to watch the next batch before the last possible minute.

Every time I feel even the slightest frisson of "I should at least post more and those posts should be more ~fandom", (ao3/dw/tumblr-centric) (transformative) fandom reminds me why no, actually, "fandom" can fuck itself, lol.

The last two months or so have been especially remindering!

What with

- the Relationshipping/Mod Cabal discord server horseshit (that poor recip) and the circling of the wagons to protect all those fuckhole exchange mods

- the sniveling cowardly and greedy fuck rampaging across

fandomgiftbasket (because they want their gifts nownownow)

- the other sniveling cowardly fuck (who clearly thinks too much of themselves and of fandom) who decided to scurry away to FFA to sniff instead of actually engaging with opinions (ahahaa did you think one of us wouldn't see you)

just off the top of my head --

Yeeahhhh I'm good. I'm going to keep on just randomly posting to show I'm not dead and periodically adding stuff to

loneknight, and fuck ~*Fandom*~. Always knew it was a cesspool; seeing more and more accelerating evidence of that these days.

(that said, props to the folks who also decided the sniveling fuck having a tantrum on

fandomgiftbasket can fuck themselves, and all tossed in to fill baskets. you folks are good folks yo.)

Lol. Fukkin lol.

Yesterday was supposed to be a good writing day, but it wasn't. I'm trying to make up for it today, but I still don't know if I'll quite make it.

On the other hand, I did manage to weave in a wolpertinger reference, which was great fun for me. Not least because it's fun to say. Wolpertinger. Hehe.

I think I posted the lyrics before, but this is a revised version of them...

(Mood: Justified Anger, Frustration, Disappointment, Disgust. Genre: Heavy Emo/Screamo Rock)

[Verse 1]
I've felt frustrated.
I've felt disappointed.
I've spent energy,
Being so upset.
I've stressed.
I vented.
I'm so done with this.
Your actions don't match
To what you say!
Don't want to give
Another chance any day!

[Pre-Chorus]
All we want is a hoooome!
All we want is to move onnnnnnn.

[Chorus]
People who just say what you want to hear
Are among the lowest of the low.
People who talk but don't follow through
Are two-faced and are the lowest of the low.

[Verse 2]
Tired of feeling frustrated.
Tired of feeling disrespected.
TIRED OF DISAPPOINTMENTS!!
Are you a parasite??
Are you just pushing lies??
Don't you realize??
Similar to empty promises towards
Ill-informed voters
Don't want to give you
ANYMORE DOLLARS!

[Pre-Chorus]
All we want is a hoooome.
All we want is to move onnnn.

[Chorus]
People who just take and give nothing back
Are among the lowest of the low.
People who speak pleasant falsehoods
And don't show, they're the lowest of the low!

[Bridge]
I don't want pretty lies.
I'd just rather say BYYYYYE!!
BYE, BYE!!
STOP FUCKING WITH OUR LIVES!!

[instrumental break]

[Pre-Chorus]
All we want is to move onnnn.

[Pre-Chorus]
All we want is to move onnnnnnnnn!!

[Chorus]
People who just say what you want to hear
Are among the lowest of the low.
People who talk but don't follow through
Are the
TWO-FACED, LOWEST of the low!
People who just take and give nothing back,
Are among the lowest of the low.
People who talk but don't ever, ever show,
ARE THE VILE!!
MESSED UP!!

THE LOWEST OF THE LOW!!!!

The lowest of the low!!

Click to listen. This song might resonate with you in some way.

This song is directed towards an ex-friend who took all the time, effort, and money my mom and I did to get her ass out of jail. Never showed up. Never paid us back. So done with that liar.
