Seems one of my top favorites has gotten its third season. Crunchyroll unveiled the trailer a day ago and was wise not revealing much in terms of spoiling it the context. I can't wait to watch it all when I can see it.

Here's the link for said trailer

Some views of the McKenzie River, which we got a great look at since the road we took followed and crossed over it.

Hello! I would love to run another round of this challenge, but want to check first whether there's interest, and if you have a preference for timing. Here are the possibilities:

1) November 20, 2025 through January 20, 2026.
2) May 20, 2026 through July 20, 2026.
3) Either!
4) Neither, but I have a different suggestion!

Please leave a comment below with your scheduling preference. There is also a poll on the Tumblr where you can vote if logged in.

A friend warmly recommended a book series to me and I just started it, and It Is Fine! However!! The author is fond of peppering ominous "Little did I know this would be the last time I spoke to X" or "If only I had known what would happen next" or "Maybe if I'd done this instead of that, it wouldn't all have gone so wrong" and while I can enjoy one, maybe two well-placed ones per book, at this level I'm finding it massively irritating. I don't even like "vibes" spoilers in general! Nothing pisses me off more than comments like "oooh you guys are gonna suffer" from people who read leaks or advance previews of whatever's popular, especially when I usually make it clear I don't want to know a thing before I start!

Right now it feels like I'm reading next to someone who goes "ooooh I wouldn't get too attached!!" whenever I think "oh I like this character", or "it's not going to go the way you think!!" when I simply thought to myself "hm interesting." Leave me alone!! 😂

Just took a pause after hitting one of those around page 200, about midway in the book. I know these people's plans keep failing! Something always goes wrong!! People die!! I don't need the warnings anymore!!!!!!! XD

Signal boosts:

Via cranky_old_fangirls, Typepad is shutting down on September 30th. Backup/Port anything you may want to save.
Not sure if there was some kind of event on another platform beyond Typepad, but there seems to be a fair amount of people looking to expand their dreamwidth circles at the moment on addme and other add-me comms, if you're looking to do the same!

Only two more episodes of this thrilling anime. I remember watching the OVA from the 80s after my first experience with it from the Capcom arcade U.N. Squadron which was later ported to the SNES.

I like the mix of dogfights and drama the anime incorporates. Not sure how it will end but I at least be happy that I've finished the 2000s version when I do.

I also dig its opening them Mission(Fugga), I feel that it sets the tone highly well.

Below a screencap of my favorite character who's also my favorite to choose in the videogame adaptation, Mickey Simon, who flies the ever awesome F-14 Tomcat.

One real plus of our hotel room was that it faced west, so lots of sunset views!

Is anyone else having issues around images not loading on Dreamwidth, lately? For a few days (couple weeks?) I've noticed that my reading page often only shows the alt-text for pics especially for images hosted on Dreamwidth, though not only that (for example there are AO3 news on my reading page at the moment, but the logos don't load unless I open the original page).

It's particularly visible on my

vriddywrites writing comm because none of the icons load, nor the header image. Does it all look fine for most of you? I rebooted my home router in case I had landed on a banned IP or something, but no dice. The background image on my journal here also loads just fine in general... Icons also have no problems. Huh... 🤔
