Hi! I hope I'm not bothering you, but I just had a moominsummer madness book lying around and noticed that this Fillyjonk reminded me a lot of Machete. With the long, miserable snout, the big sad eyes, clothing and all :)

You're not bothering at all! I've mentioned this before a couple of times but Moomins are essentially embedded into the marrow of my bones, I've been an admirer of Tove Jansson and her creations a lot longer than I can remember. Fillyjonks (multiple separate characters, including the one you mentioned from Moominsummer madness) are some of my favorites, so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if some of their neurotic energy had influenced my dogs as well.

I think the most Machete-like fillyjonk is the one from the short story Fillyjonk who believed in disasters. It's one of my favorite pieces of literary fiction. Despite it's shortness and simplicity, the way it captures the crushing banality and loneliness of everyday anxiety and paranoia changed my brain chemistry when I first read it. It's currently quite easy to find online in English.

Yeah @magic-gps I took some tine out of resting from whooping cough and put together properly cropped screenshots that should help you. If I run into an image limit, I’ll just continue to another reblog.

Hope this helps.

The 2025 Fanfic Reading Challenge

Welcome to another year of the Fanfic Reading Challenge (FRC)!

I won't bore you with the history of the challenge, this year, but I will welcome you to check out past posts that do explain some of it, as well as include a brief overview of what, exactly, this challenge is, though it does change year to year. (Essentially you read fics to complete goals and win bragging points and an artsy badge.)

This year is especially different, as I had the extreme pleasure of having @noxsoulmate as a partner in crime in keeping me hostage on track to completing this year's FRC. Another valued member of the mod team is @jandjsalmon and speaks for all of us if you need questions answered!

As for the challenge....

This is, indeed, a challenge. Of course.

First of all... you must obviously read fanfiction. As if you don't already!

You also need to download and make your own copy of the spreadsheet, which can be found here, as well as below in the important links section.

To participate in the challenge, you read fics that match the tasks in the challenge. An example of a task can be: "read a fic with a title containing the word purple in it." Should be easy! Of course, there are harder ones.

Which is why there are different modes of challenge to the FRC. These are as follows:

Participation (Complete 1 task)

Regular Mode (Complete 80 tasks)

Hard Mode (Complete 150 tasks)

Extreme Mode (Complete 220 tasks)

Complete (Complete 250 tasks)

The challenge lasts from January 1st, 2025, to December 31st, 2025.

There are badges that go with the modes completed, and even a secret 6th badge that will be fairly obvious if you look at the spreadsheet! Doesn't mean it'll be easy to complete though. *smirks* (Blame Noxy)

Most important of all: this challenge operates on the honour system. We don't check your work, or your reading logs (see below), so I mean, I guess if you want to be slippery with the rules, you do you, and that's on your conscience, but honestly it's so much fun to see how much you can get done by following the letter of the law/tasks! You can be slippery even with following the tasks fully. It's great fun. ;D

I think that's enough for an intro, really, maybe too much.

Important Links and Reading Logs/Trackers

As there is a component of the FRC that includes tracking numbers of words read, most of us use a reading log/tracker to keep count of how many fics we read, including data such as words, of course, chapters, month completed, ship, author, title, fandom, link to the fic, and such. It's a great place to mark what fics you want to read in the future as well!

This year we have FOUR trackers on offer, quite different from one another, so take a look, play around with them and check out their "intros", and choose according to what you think will work best for you!

Discord

We have a blast on Discord. From general chatter to sharing pet pics to being there for each other during the tough times to forming lasting friendships and making friendships you’d never make in a ship- or fandom-specific Discord, to asking for help ‘rolling the dice’ (pick a number between 1-10!) to choose the next fic to read, to finding some of the really challenging task fills in fandoms people might not have ever read but are willing to try, or finding fandoms someone has never read and is very tentative about stepping out of their box, but they’re being 100% supported and know they don’t need to complete the fic for it to count for the task, stepping out of their comfort zone… we’ve formed a very odd group of, if not friends, then companions (but there are definite friendships that have formed!! Just ask the people who have started watching NHL and NFL together in our off topic channel!).

In any case, our Discord is not necessary, but it is a worthy and tactical element to completing many of the tasks of this challenge. 💙

And.... without further ado....!

The 2025 Fanfic Reading Challenge! (link)

There is an info/rules page as the first sheet on the spreadsheet that should fill in any further questions you have. It also has more contact info than just this page if you have any further questions and perhaps need a more immediate answer for your needs.

*Occasionally you will run into something that looks like an error, and it may in fact be one! Let us know if you see it. It's hard not to make a mistake on as large a spreadsheet as this.*

Please, first of all, have fun and just read fanfiction that you enjoy! I (Juulna) did that last year and didn't even come close to completing the entire challenge, and I still had a blast because I was enjoying what I was reading and rereading. Others took the challenge right to the completed end. Others forgot about it halfway through but still had fun, and some even went back and filled in the sheet for a really good showing! The challenge is what you make of it, what you want from it. So... just have fun. Read fic. Smile. Enjoy. :)

Second of all... well, we would love if you signal boost this post!!!!

Third of all, we do have our pinned post that includes a link to this page and that will include a link to our Discord and all our trackers as well, including past links for memento and informative purposes.

Thank you, and a blessed 2025 to all!

what do you think, how will lando be when he finds out you‘ve never had an orgasm?

🗣 GAME OVER ‼️

He’d make it his personal mission to not only give you one but to make sure you’re thoroughly caught up on all the ones you’ve missed. Girls, I said what I said, and I meant what I said, because I said what I said 👍🏻

I’m talking the kind of dedication that borders on ✨obsession✨. He’d be so determined, taking his time to learn exactly what you like and how to drive you crazy. And when you finally hit that first one? YUMMY. He’d tease with something like, we’ve got a lot of lost time to make up for, before diving right back in.

ADDITIONALLY.

Cue days of overstimulation that leave your legs shaking and your brain mushy while he looks at you all proud, like he’s just won a championship. And honestly, considering the circumstances? He kind of did... 😛

He live right? RIGHT?....

Not gonna DIED again. ( at least not now )

this one is particularly confusing me because not only is that simply the polar opposite of everything I have ever said about this but also the most recent posts that presumably prompted this ask were just screenshots of transcripts with next to no commentary.

anyway, this is similar enough to previous asks that I assume it's from the same person, meaning I have blocked you half a dozen times before and you are deliberately working around it each time. the most recent posts that presumably prompted this ask weren't new posts that would have shown up in tag searches or anything, they were rbs of my own old posts, meaning you are consciously watching my blog for things to insult me about. cut it the fuck out, accept the block this time.

How did miku expo go for you :D

[anamericangirl]

came across another "a fetus only becomes a person after it's born" post. Those are interesting because I think they betray are a complete lack of exposure to babies. I've seen like half a dozen pregnancies up close and know way more babies besides that and... fetuses have personalities! And those are still there when the baby is born! There is continuity to their consciousness and personhood and anyone whow has seen a pregnancy go through knows that????! My bestie's baby was very stubborn about where she wanted to be in utero and wouldn't let herself be nudged around for sonograms (she'd actively go back to the same spot) and as an infant she was very stubborn about holding her head up herself (she'd give heatbutts so people holding her would stop supporting her neck) and as a toddler she's very stubborn about going where she wants by herself (climbing stairs etc). The *person* she is now was always there

It's just yet another testament to the fact that pro-aborts know nothing about prenatal development. They actually think an unborn baby is the equivalent of some kind of cancerous mass of cells and it's so preposterously ignorant and is one reason their opinions on abortion really shouldn't be taken seriously because they are way too uneducated on the issue to be involved in a serious discussion about it.

There is so much important growing and developing happening in the womb, including personality, that anyone who thinks babies aren't people until they are born is ridiculously uneducated. That is such a crazy statement that honestly anyone should be embarrassed to make.

we listen and we don’t judge QUESTION EDITION.

do you think lando would let you fuck him on his sim chair?….i mean….looks comfy…… bye….

Not only would Lando let you fuck him on his sim chair, but let’s be real... he’d probably suggest it himself at some point. Besides, he'd most likely let you fuck him on literally every surface in his apartment. But the sim? The damn sim...? That’s a must. He’d be so proud about it after, too, like he didn’t just ruin his favorite setup for you.

Priorities, right? 😁👍🏻

this is the CUTEST thing I've read today, thank you so much <33333

MARRY ME | J.P X READER

Saying yes to the proposal was just the beginning. Now, it's time to turn every dream into reality. Between nervous laughter, tough (but funny) decisions, and little surprises, you and James dive headfirst into the preparations for the big day. Every moment, even the simplest ones, is filled with love, with a touch of confusion because, of course, who said planning a wedding would be easy?

The chapters of this collection can be read in any order, offering a glimpse of each little piece of this love and preparation story, where every gesture and look between the bride and groom speaks louder than words.

Masterlist

Cake Tasting - James leaned in, and you only realized when you felt his fingers at the corner of your mouth, wiping away a little bit of whipped cream you hadn’t noticed. He smirked, that mischievous and irresistible smile that always followed him, and murmured in his low, warm voice, "Sorry, there was something here."

Rings - "Well, now that we have the rings... what else is on the list? Invitations? Music? Or can we just run away and get married tomorrow? You know I’d be up for it, right?"

Vows - “Writing these vows. It’s an impossible task. How can I put everything I feel for you into words? There aren’t enough. I start writing and everything sounds... small, you know? How do I sum up you?”

Our Home - "Look, you’ll be able to have your favorite chair there," he said, pointing to a corner of the room next to the fireplace. "And I’ll flop down on the couch after a long day and..." He paused dramatically, spinning on his heels to look at you with a dreamy expression. "We’ll have the most comfortable couch in the world, of course. One that suits us."

Invitations - "You always pick the prettiest things," he said lightly, though there was genuine admiration in his voice. "It's because you're like that, I think."

First Dance - "I also thought it’d be a good moment to practice.” “Practice for what?” “The wedding dance,” he replied, as if it were obvious, his eyes locking onto yours with such intensity that your heart tightened. “I want it to be perfect, because it’s the moment I’ll remember forever. Just like this one.”

Stag Party - Sirius ignored him completely.. “First, remember one thing: atmosphere is everything. If you stay somewhere with a creaky bed, you’ve failed as a husband.” James laughed but covered his face with his hand. “Merlin, I can’t believe I’m hearing this.” “Oh, wait, there’s more.”

The Proposal - You looked up, noticing his fixed and enchanted gaze, and raised an eyebrow with an amused smile. “What’s up? Scared of the cake, Potter?” He laughed, shaking his head. “No. Just... you’re too beautiful.”

Important Locked Tomb question: since the Tridentarii are referred to as having violet eyes, and they're fleshmancers able to change their own bodies, do you think the entire Third House royal lineage just gave themselves Alexandria's Genesis but real?

yes and I am immediately incorporating this into my belief system
