Philadelphia Story: Oh No Not Now (Fanvid) by FairestCat

Posted by: kingstoken

Fandom: Philadelphia Story (1940) Pairings/Characters: Macaulay Connor/C.K. Dexter Haven/Elizabeth Imbrie/Tracy Lord (and every combination of these characters) Rating: G Length: 4:06 min Creator Links: Fairestcat Theme: Amnesty, fanvids, polyamory

Summary: What do I do with this?

Reccer's Notes: This vid does such a great job showcasing the chemistry between all of these characters, and is in a way a sort of fan trailer for the film.  The choice of clips is great, and the music starts slow but builds in such a subtle way.  It puts a smile on my face.

Back in February I won a @fandomtrumpshate auction from the generous @rimedio8 for typesetting and cover design, and guess what just came back from the printers! It's a collection of my Ineffable Husbands stories. It looks so good! I know the pictures don't do it justice. It is so cool to get to hold your own stories in your hand.

Terminology Thursday: Woobie

Do you have a character that you love so much that you just want to wrap them up on a blanket? This Terminology Thursday we’re learning all about “woobie”, which is the term for a beloved fannish character that you just want to cuddle.

The term is often described in conjunction with characters that are hard-working or endure difficult circumstances bravely, and the majority of characters perceived as woobies are white and male.

Some well-known examples of woobies are Rory Williams (Doctor Who), Bucky Barnes (MCU), Dean Winchester (Supernatural), and Damon Salvatore (The Vampire Diaries).

Check out which other characters are considered woobies over on our Fanlore page and let us know in the comments if we left off your favorite!

OK THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL EVERYONE FUCKING REPEAT AFTER ME. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU WATCH MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL THIS YEAR:

You will navigate to the page on disney plus (and it has to be here. Unless someone has actually uploaded the REAL movie anywhere else you cannot get it elsewhere)

BUT YOU WILL NOT HIT PLAY. You won’t do it. Because it’s NOT THE REAL VERSION OF THE FILM AND DISNEY IS FUCKING LYING TO YOU AS IT ALWAYS DOES

You will scroll down HERE. To EXTRAS instead. You MUST GO HERE. This is non -negotiable

THEN YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRAS AND YOU WILL THEN HIT PLAY ON THIS BAD BOY: THE FULL LENGTH VERSION

And you will watch it. And you will thank me for having been so blind and led astray by that stupid fucking mouse. You’re welcome.

I know Post Malone's "I Had Some Help" is probably meant to be sung at some fictional woman, but since it is a duet with Post Malone and Morgan Wallen, it makes so much more sense as a break up song if they're singing it to each other. Like they're both having a hard time after the break up of this relationship. Also, I checked, and they never use specific gendered pronouns in the song, and only refer to the fictional other as "babe" which can be used by anyone. Anyways, the stuff you think about when you keep hearing a song on the radio.

Dead Boy Detectives: Marathon Macabre by williamvapespeare

Posted by: kingstoken

Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives Pairings/Characters: Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland Rating: M Length: 9060 words Creator Links: williamvapespeare Theme: Magic, casefic

Summary: The boys have a horror marathon that's a bit more full on than intended. Happy Halloween!

Reccer's Notes: The summary of this fic really doesn't give you any idea of what the fic is about.  The boys don't really have a movie marathon, at least not how one would expect, but get caught in a place where stories are brought to life via magic.  I thought it was a neat concept, and loved how the boys relied on each other to get themselves out of the situation.

Supernatural: and oh, my dreams by remy

Posted by: kingstoken

Fandom: Supernatural Pairings/Characters: Sam/Castiel Rating: G Length: 4775 words Creator Links: remy Theme: magic

Summary: When Sam loses consciousness on a hunt after being attacked with djinn venom, it's up to Cas to venture into his subconscious and try to find him there.

Reccer's Notes: Sam is hit with a spell and Cas has to go into his dreams to rescue him; there he discovers that Sam dreams about them being a couple. This story is bittersweet in parts as Sam tries to come to terms with the fact that he is in a dream, but the ending is very nice. It was one of the first Sastiel works I ever read, and it sold me on the pairing. One note, it does contain one scene that deals with the cage and Sam's trauma from Hell/Lucifer.

Ship Sunday: Connor/Hank Anderson

Today, we’re highlighting HankCon, the pairing of detective Hank Anderson and his android partner Connor from the game Detroit: Become Human.

Hank and Connor's buddy-cop dynamic quickly made them a favorite duo for fans, with many viewing their relationship as one of, if not the most, well-written parts of the game. Fanworks for the pairing usually feature classic tropes like Hurt/Comfort and slow burn, as well as more kinky ones like Wireplay.

Although HankCon is the juggernaut ship of the fandom, it is also a controversial one, as some fans prefer to interpret their relationship as a platonic (pseudo) father/son relationship, while others feel uncomfortable with the supposed large age-gap between the two.

Do you ship HankCon? Visit Fanlore and consider adding to its page!
