Title: Kiss on the Moon
Fandoms: MCU / What If...? / X-Men Movieverse
Pairings: Jean Grey/Wanda Maximoff
Rating: PG
Warnings/Spoilers: Phoenix!Jean. Post WandaVision.
Summary: What if post Westview, Wanda fell into another universe?
Notes: Written for

xmen100 prompt Scarlet Witch,

100ships prompt red,

15pairings prompt stargazing and for

uc_xmen drabble-a-thon prompt Jean/Wanda - phoenix, kiss. Never expected to write this pairing but it was oddly calling to me so I went with it. I was mainly thinking of Sofia!Jean but there are some comics influences but feel free to picture whoever you want of course.
kiss on the moon...

Title: Stumble
Fandoms: MCU
Pairings: Kate/Yelena
Rating: G
Warnings/Spoilers: Post Thunderbolts/The Marvels films.
Summary: Yelena visits Kate.
Notes: Written for

mcu100 prompt kiss.
Stumble...

Title: Kissed by Flames
Fandom: X-Men: Evolution
Pairings: Rating: PG-ish
Warnings/Spoilers: Post Series. Phoenix.
Summary: Amara and Jean reunite.
Notes: Written for

xmen100 prompt Magma,

100ships prompt flame,

fivebyfiction prompt Phoenix,

uc_xmen drabble-a-thon prompt "X-Men Evolution - Amara/Jean - Phoenix, kissed by fire". So I've been interested in this pairing since the last time I rewatched XME ages ago, and I've been wanting to write for them since I don't think pairing really exists? I did make fanart for them ages ago but I haven't seen anything else. Also not sure if they really interacted in the comics so I'm not sure how Amara's abilities would work with/against the Phoenix but meh this is fanon anyway. I kinda want to write more, not going to lie - not sure if I will.
kissed by flames...

Fandom: X-Men '97
Pairings: implied Madelyne/Emma
Rating: G

Notes: Written for

xmen100 prompt dawn,

xmen15 prompt night for

uc_xmen drabble-a-thon prompt "X-Men '97 - Madelyne/Emma - night out". Okay so this is the first time in a VERY long time writing X-Men, so I'm a little rusty. Also I might make more of this when I'm less tired because this pairing is really calling to me.

betaplease

Fandom: Ghost + The Mechanisms crossover
Characters/Pairings: Papa V/ Ghouls, hints of Copia/Ghouls, squint and you miss it Papa V/Jonny d'Ville (They insist on a sequel…)
Rating & Warnings: Overall E due to some ghoul orgies, gore and violence, temporary character death (including one immortal character shooting himself out of boredom)
Estimated Fic Length: 48-49k
Notes: This is for a big bang, the deadline is November 30th. I'd need this beta'd some time before this date.

If you'd like to beta this, I'm mostly looking for SPAG. But if you find kind words about what works and what reads off, I'd be happy, too.

The premise of this story: Ghost meet the Mechanisms but make it Cosmic Horror Sailor Moon

Papa V wants to connect with his grudge-holding twin, while Ivy Alexandrina searches for a tome in the Ministry's library. Shenanigans ensue, people get ripped apart and the Vatican gets spaghettified as we discover the secret behind the Emeritus bloodline.

Nobody ask what happened in September, because I don't know!

What's new this month:
- Fic in a Box has been SO much fun. I've made so many things and I took every excuse to make things that I wouldn't be able to under regular exchange rules! It worked out well because all my matches were people receptive to that sort of thing.

- Pokemon Emerald Imperium (romhack) Halloween themed run was a success! Standouts were Gliscor [spooky bat], Pikachu (fighting) [dressed up for halloween], Ghourgeist [literally a pumpkin], Mega Kangaskhan [taking their kid trick-or-treating], and Rotom Wash [possessed washing machine]. Now we're doing an autism themed run. We started with Nacli because he evolves into a minecraft mob and we also have such buddies as FROG [poliwhirl], smoliv [me when left alone in a busy shop], Bibarel [0_0], and Magnemite [the vibes were there].

- Last month's playlist had the following on repeat: A Sadness Runs Through Him (The Hoosiers), Code Mistake (Corpse, BMTH), Feed The Machine (Poor Man's Poison).

- Imgur is now blocked by my country so that's... fun.

Fun videos I found (very serious month, obviously):

- .:WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE:. [Horta]

Hi,

readingtogether! Guess what time it is! It's time for the November Group Read!

All you need to do is... read! If you want to share what you're reading, that's fine, and if you just want to say that you're doing it (or not), also fine.

As always, what counts as 'reading' is up to you. Fiction, non-fiction, audiobooks, comics, visual novels, work reports, etc. all count.

Feel free to share in the comments what you'll be reading.

(And sorry for the late start. This actually isn't an organized event, but it is one of my favorites so here I am.)

Article Link [here].

While I recommend reading the whole article, I'm also going to place a summary copied from tumblr (og post here) under a cut.

( How Crunchyroll is ruining its subtitles, how we got here, and why it matters. )

Considering the average Dreamwidth user probably remembers when Crunchyroll was a piracy site, as well as the golden age of fansubbing, I'm wondering what people's preferred solution for monopolization, and subsequent decrease in quality, of official anime streaming is. Should we focus our efforts more on pressuring Crunchyroll (and streaming services at large) to fix its subtitles, or on re-invigorating and suporting fansub groups and fansub culture?

Along with Vampire Princess Miyu and Ghost Sweeper Mikami, I've been watching some Shaman King and Ajazukin Cha Cha, which stars an adorable magic apprentice named Cha Cha and her mishaps when conjuring anything, dealing with monsters and vampires at times.

The dubbed version aired on Cartoon Network in another country, not sure if it ever did in the US, but there are some episodes uploaded at YouTube if interested.

So Happy Halloween and all that, I'm going back to my own thing.

I keep thinking of posts I really want to make and then, don't.

For example, I visited again the friend who lives near the woods I shared pictures of here before, and it's so lovely to see the autumn colours slowly change them. I love trees. Trees are great.

Path with fallen leaves and yellowing leaves on trees

Funnily enough, because of the Dreamwidth bug I mentioned before, I can't even see the thumbnail in the preview. I'll check thumbnail sizes are reasonable after posting ;)

Another thing I've thought about posting about is a manga I've been reading that drives me a little bit insane, because it's an official Mafia AU. Like, they took the cute demon characters from the original story, and they're retelling it, in just the ways the best AUs are made. A number of changes that fit the world, lots of winks and love shown for the original, different storyline that ebbs and flows close to the original and also does its own thing. Except it's official.

The original | The Mafia AU
( I don't know if I've mentioned before how insane I go when I see my favourite characters in suits )

Then a couple of months ago, I had a glorious few weeks in which I enjoyed all the books I read and thought I should really write a rec posts. Especially since pickings haven't been as good to me since then :'<

( Book rec: The Raven Scholar )

Then there's a whole bunch of links I've been collecting for like, ages now. I'm fairly sure at some point, I came across one that felt slightly controversial but still super interesting and I thought to myself, "oh, I'll wait until I have the energy to clarify misunderstandings" and yeah we're like 18 months later now. I probably won't even remember which link it was. My latest resolution is to just pick 3 random links for a random linkspam post since I forgot most of what's in there and will have to reread. But that's not happening either. In the meantime, here's one. I can do one.

( On enjoying art that others look down on )

But actually, what I really want to talk about but also don't is writing, and of course editing, as I approach hour 80 of this round of revisions. Stuff I found helpful to do, stuff that I'm less sure about, mindset shifts that have been happening. The twist in my stomach as I approach the end of this round and wonder, "But what if it's still not good enough?" which I know is not a helpful thought, not when I have learnt SO MUCH through the process, but I'm failing to rationalise at the moment.

( But I'm not posting because I feel like it's all I've been talking about, and too much about )

So I hope this post works as a glimpse into "more humanity than just a robot who only thinks about writing, for real!", and I'll be judicious about using cuts so it's easier for those who choose to scroll on to do so, and please just imagine me waving at you with a smile whether you scroll or stop by, because it is so lovely to get to hang out with all of you in this space :) 💙 Yay, Dreamwidth!

I don't know why it feels like I haven't posted fic in ages even though I apparently did so just last month, haha. Maybe because I'm editing stuff from months ago?? XD Anyway this came out of a conversation on

bnha_fans during the Vigilantes watch-along earlier this year. A cat is used as a plot device for one episode and I spluttered with indignation and joked about a fix-it headcanon, and then I was enabled into writing it... whoops? :D (It didn't take much XD)

The first step | Boku no Hero Academia | Nedzu & cat | 1.7k words | rated G

Summary: The humans are at it again. Using Trigger on a cat? And now locking it up like a common criminal, when none of this was the cat's fault in the first place? Typical. Nedzu will have none of that. The cat can come live with him on campus. Nedzu's responsible for hundreds of students and staff; caring for a cat can't be any more difficult than that. Right?
