in lieu of a labor day long weekend

11pm, sunday, september 1, 2024

couldn't remember if i've done 'in lieu of a long weekend' before, so i specified. raise your hand if you're spending the day off doing more work than ever, because you're a grad student and/or poor planner!

reading

francis spufford's cahokia jazz (2024) absolutely entranced me this week. i couldn't put it down, stayed up all night (literally) to get through the big confrontation and then stayed up to make sure i knew how things shook out afterwards. i have found two book reviews which seem to agree that there's a lot to 'work through' here, pull-quote below, but this was not my experience-- i was thoroughly hooked by the (to me) subtle and eloquent clues about how this timeline was different from our own, and fascinated by the city politics, religion, infrastructure-- if anything, the focus on public transit struck me more than the exposition! shoutout to the streetcars!--but most importantly, maybe, spufford knew how to write his protagonist's relationship to music, and incorporate joe's jazz into his pov in a beautiful way, a real way. i'm fucking mourning the what-could-have-been of cahokia, of indigenous america, of. god. that vision of a different form of modernity-- not less complicated, not less industrialized, with all its own moral ambiguities and darkness...but nevertheless a living society.

from the new york times' review, ivy pochoda:

Reader, let me ask you a question. How much work are you willing to do to dive into a new novel? Do you want to step into a speculative world frustratingly close to our own? Do you want to spend time in an imaginary city constructed with the world-building minutiae of a high fantasy novel? Do you want to engage with new forms of government and religious sects? Are you cool if there’s foreign language peppered throughout? How about the Klan? A Red scare? A nascent F.B.I.? A love story? Do you also want jazz? And do you want all of this to be part of a detective novel?

fucking of course YES I DO.

also finished just today, the personal librarian (2021) by Marie Benedict, Victoria Christopher Murray, narrated by Robin Miles. i had known there was a belle da costa greene award offered by the maa for medievalists of color, but it took me until reading this novel to actually learn anything about belle herself, and i am thrilled it exists. i'm so, so glad she existed. figuring out how to work her into my medieval book syllabus as we speak. a very different book than the one above, though they both must have taken a huge amount of research and informed imagination and inference-- belle destroyed her correspondence, apart from her business letters apparently-- but the academic in me was hoping there would be. two or three more skosh more precision and detail in the discussion of manuscript / incunabula research. there was a lot of 'the beauty of art' and 'the value of the written word' but it felt a little cursory. still, i know i'm an outlier. the discussions of her relationships to her parents, her identity, her passing, were all executed with so much care.

watching

the build up of intensity / count-down to the opening of the restaurant in the bear s2 was getting to me in the count down to the new semester, so i turned to something a little different. what if this is the year i actually get into psych. so far, signs point to this being a good decision. just finished the spelling bee episode (s1e02 i think? i didn't realize that the pilot was two parts, i thought those were two separate eps but whatever) and it was absurd, but. i'm just so glad to be watching tv made in an era where...you have to watch the screen to get everything that's happening! and there are contrived/ridiculous premises in the same episode as some layers are built up in the main characters' relationships and actual, like, continuity! it's a serial detective show that is at bottom incredibly silly but i'm here to over think and get invested in it. love to see dulé hill in a lead role. what the hell was i doing in 2006, when not watching this.

listening

i'm exploring a bit lately, new music, new (to me) artists-- I think i'm enjoying pop girlies at the moment, song of the summer etc., and charlie xcx's brat and caroline polachek have both been on my repeat list, but i don't have a ton to report yet. honestly this week it's been a lot of listening to the podcast a more civilized age: a star wars podcast (thanks @knifepadme for the rec!!) break down over andor. it is so incredibly cute to hear how excited they get over the first three episodes, and continue to get over the whole first arc. TELEVISION! it makes me feel like i'm rewatching the show with friends, their insights and the parallels and interpretations they keep pulling out are enriching it a lot, but also their star wars nerdery is picking up on things i wouldn't have thought to get excited about, and predictions that never occurred to me, and it's. delightful.

playing

finished chants of sennaar! total play time was about 20 hours, and that's with getting all the glyphs and all but two of the accomplishments (a little sore about that since I'm pretty sure i was in proximity for at least one of them that ended up not counting, but, whatever). i did consult a guide for the final series of puzzles, not the last language but the stuff that came after, i guess because i wanted to be completionist about it--but there were also some obstacles that weren't logic or anything, but more about learning the game's patterns (the first thing i looked up was staring right in front of me, i just wasn't paying attention to the right shit). there was a moment when the genre of the game shifted, i think i've mentioned before maybe, and it happens again towards the end-- but this time it didn't hit in quite the same way? perhaps because it wasn't as big a shock. more of a 'oh well, i guess this might as well be happening' reaction. i'd done a few of the puzzles out of order, i think, earlier than they'd anticipated / as i was progressing up the tower rather than all at the end, except for one at the very bottom that i had to go back and find (thank you to the people online who write guides and do playthroughs).

i really loved the visuals and design of this game-- the colors, the angles, the wild perspectives in some of the scenes. i liked that, once i'd gotten the hang of something, i could typically repeat that manner of thinking and succeed the next time as well-- a game about learning. learning to learn!

making

sewed part of one of the new patches onto the jacket. just barely worked out a stitch i could handle, only to have my housemate lend me a little rubber finger...thingy, and make everything so much easier. why did i decide to sew through denim and multiple layers of stitching? because i don't trust the iron-able backing, and also love to make life harder for myself i guess.

working on

it's been syllabus lockdown hours over here, and considering that the first class is thursday, it will continue to be until the absolute last fucking minute. i want too much and also shy away from making literally any decision. you'd think that this level of avoidance might make it easier to productively procrastinate by working on other things, but that's a funny joke.

This Week in Gundam Wing February 10th - July 22nd, 2024

Here’s the roundup for February 10th, 2024 - July 22nd, 2024!

Remember to give your content creators some love! Be sure to join in on the events at the bottom! And remember to send in any new works you see or make this next week!

~Mod Hel

Y’all gotta help me out here. All but one of the things listed in here was sent to the account by ME because I randomly saw a reblog and hit the little arrow and sent it over. I cannot do these posts if I don’t have content to POST. Please send me the things you make AND the things you see from others (unless of course they don’t want to be listed, I know there are tumblrites that take offense to me listing EVERYTHING without bias on here. They are tagged on the listing for what’s in them... like, you ain’t gotta look at it, but whatever. They’re allowed feel that way.) Please, it is so disheartening to come check every week and have like one thing that I sent in myself to post... so I don’t post it and then I forget about it for several months... >_>

One that note, if anyone would like their stuff to NOT be here, please let me know. Just send in a message to the blog, don't need a reason, just let me know you don't want your stuff listed here. I will have the blog block you so it can't see your stuff if it gets passed to it.

Feng is Wufei's grandson and Duo's godson. He's the head of a security company and his current protectee has been taken hostage by terrorists. The protectee also happens to be a clone of Heero Yuy. Feng should not have been surprised when a very old and still very able Duo Maxwell shows up.

HP Cest Fest 2024: Week 1 ☕️

Please enjoy Week 1 of our Fest's fantastic collection of creative works!

☕️ Week 1 Cest Stats

🖤 Blackcest (5)

💚 Malfoycest (4)

💙 Othercest (3)

🧡 Weasleycest (2)

❤️ Pottercest (1)

💛 Pseudocest (1)

☕️ Week 1 Fanworks ⤵️

📖 A Beach Day for Draco | E | 1400 💚 Draco Malfoy/Lucius Malfoy

Lucius takes Draco to the beach, and in urgency finds something more pleasurable than his feet buried in the cool sand.

📖 before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger | E | 2400 🖤 Regulus Black/Sirius Black/Orion Black/Walburga Black

They'd fucked in the study plenty of times- but this time they made a mistake. A critical mistake. And they were paying the price of getting caught now. Or Fun (not really) with a speculum and rape as punishment for getting caught fucking in Orion's study.

📖 D.B.C.C.H. | E | 6400 🧡 Ginny Weasley/Charlie Weasley, Ginny Weasley/Other Weasley(s)

Charlie gifts Ginny a diary for her birthday. She’ll probably use it for something wicked, because that’s what diaries are for… right?

📖 eye for eye, hand for hand | M | 3700 💙 Astoria Greengrass/Daphne Greengrass

Daphne would do anything to cure her sister’s Blood Curse.

📖 His Father Will Hear About This | E | 3000 💚 Draco Malfoy/Lucius Malfoy

All Draco has ever wanted is to hear his father say he’s proud of him. He just never thought he would have to take things this far to manage it.

🎨 it was nightmare times | E | Digital Art 💚 Draco Malfoy/Lucius Malfoy

Prompt: Harry Potter had been captured. Bound and gagged, he is thrown at Lucius' feet. Yes, the Dark Lord was giving Lucius the assignment of breaking in the boy who lived to redeem himself. Lucius would not fail. Or Lucius unknowingly rapes his polyjuiced son in front of everyone.

📖 look, listen, learn | E | 2000 🖤 Sirius Black/Draco Malfoy

Draco was perfect. Blond and tiny, blushed pink at the cheeks like a china doll, and with delicate, posable limbs to match. When he looked up at Sirius with those big, grey eyes, Regulus's eyes, Sirius knew he could never leave. Draco was too lovely—especially with his mouth occupied.

📖 Morning Glory | E | 8600 🖤 Regulus Black/Sirius Black/Remus Lupin/James Potter

Sirius gazed at him through an inebriated fog, Regulus was sure. But still, he looked. Oh, fuck, the way he looked— Sleep silken and sweetly wanting. Almost pleading with his eyes, while the hand on Regulus’s side strayed. Slid. And what did Regulus care if he didn’t see him when he looked? He was used to that. At least Sirius was looking like he liked - wanted - craved - what he saw.

📖 new dog, old tricks | E | 2300 🖤 Sirius Black/Draco Malfoy

Draco catches Sirius skulking around Hogwarts—he promises to keep quiet on one condition. He wants his cousin to fuck him as Snuffles.

📖🎨 Right Place, Wrong Time | X | 3400 | Digital Art 🧡 Hermione Granger/Fred Weasley/George Weasley

It doesn’t seem to matter what they do, they’re always one step behind their younger brother. But what if Hermione were to take the first step for once?

📖 Tense and Release | E | 6300 ❤️ Harry Potter/James Sirius Potter

“I passed, I fucking passed!” I yell the instant I step out of the Floo, my exam results clutched in my hand. I very nearly step on Dad, who, bizarrely, is sprawled on his back on the floor in front of the fireplace. “Of course you did…never doubted for a second that you wouldn’t,�� Dad says. He sounds…different. Floaty—kind of similar to the sing-song way Aunt Luna talks. I take in the scene: Dad’s gazing up at me with a lazy smile and heavy-lidded eyes, wearing nothing but his boxers. Then I see what’s on the coffee table and put two and two together. He’s high.

📖 territoriality | M | 1600 🖤 Marius Black/Dorea Black Potter

Issues that happen outside the house were with their father. Issues that happen inside the house were with their mother - and, holding Dorea’s hand tightly, Marius knocked on the door to their mother’s study.

📖 The Grotto | E | 2700 💙 Colin Creevey/Dennis Creevey

Colin takes his brother and his camera on a hike one Hogsmeade weekend.

📖 The King of Underworld and his Queen | T | 1100 💙 Harry Potter/Tom Riddle | Voldemort

Greek Mythology AU. Tom traced the carvings of his throne with his finger. Aberforth had his queen and Albus had married the other of their sisters, Minerva, and made her queen of the Gods. Maybe Tom could have had his own queen as well.

📖 The Perks of Being a Malfoy | E | 3500 💚 Scorpius Malfoy/Draco Malfoy/Lucius Malfoy/Abraxas Malfoy

“For you, Daddy,” Scorpius breathed out robotically. Draco licked his canines, smile broadening; of course the feast stood before him was for him, it was his turn.

📖 Written in the stars | E | 11,100 💛 Sirius Black/James Potter

They weren’t related by blood, but oh they were definitely brothers. They tasted like it. ----------- At age five, Sirius Black is adopted by the Potters and little James Potter gains a brother. They grow up inseparable, always at each others' side, but their obsession with each other takes a not-so-innocent turn once they reach puberty.

in lieu of a quiet sunday night

sunday, 11pm, September 22, 2024 ~ cider close to hand, both alcoholic and non; hozier playing in the background; evidently it's the first day of fall

reading since i skipped doing one of these last week, both of my reading picks tonight are actually from a little while ago. both were so, so compelling, but for different reasons. one an award-winning piece of twentieth-century canadian literature set in 1970s india, the other a scandalous semi-autobiographical account of drinking, dating, and divorce in roaring twenties new york.

i think that drew me into both of these first was their dialogue-- both authors are so good at writing distinctly unique, distinctly not-what-i-usually-hear character dialogue, without it sounding at all affected. i got the feeling that both authors were working from life, describing societies they knew inside and out, and had observed intimately. so much detail about the, like, material and sensory details of these two different settings-- what everyone wore out to dinner in the twenties, and what they were eating and drinking; what shopping for a chicken or going to the doctor was like in mid-seventies bombay, what school was like, how people were discussing the government... beyond that, these two feel so dissimilar that comparing them is going to do a disservice to both. though i guess both have, at different points in their histories, been the subject of some scandal. listening shout out to my 'for you' playlist last week, which was one hit after another-- but opened with this, and introduced me to rachel chinouriri! whose sound i really like. that first slow build up to the guitar bursting in? got my attention immediately. the lyrics to this one are, admittedly, wild to be singing while trying to write job apps, but it's melancholy in enough of an upbeat way that it almost feels calming?

No point in trying to prove yourself to them Why question who you are from deep within? No matter what, your youth is gonna end My god it’s sinking in There’s no point in anything

the whole album goes down so smooth, and is rewarding repeat listens. i love her voice. i love how late i am to discovering her, since she's opening for sabrina carpenter now apparently.

watching no shogun time this week, but the gang and i sat down to experience the first episode of a new series, which i cannot stop thinking about. imagine like. australian broadchurch, but only one of the main characters and all the victims are actually in a bleak crime drama, and every other character is doing like parks & rec. also it's extremely gay. and rude. and funny. favorite characters are dulcie, and sven the guy who keeps asking who he can delegate stuff to. also dulcie's wife, who i'm so worried about the world crushing somehow, she seems too optimistic to survive undamaged!

playing did i mention finishing act ii of pentiment? now that @blue--period is playing it, i realized i wanted to get further and be able to discuss. i was devastated by the end of act i, but the end of act ii feels... bleak in a way i wasn't expecting, at all. i'm already planning a second play-through using my other save file, since i failed a bunch of checks in act ii (a few i think based on the background i had chosen, aggravating since it was helpful in other ways) and no spoilers, but in other ways, i failed by succeeding. saving act iii for now, since i have a busy next couple of weeks. much love to caspar, my best boy.

making fallow week. check back soon for experiments with medieval ink making, though!! i have sourced ingredients, and parchment scraps, from kind friends and colleagues who won't ask me to pay for them, and will shortly be (i hope) benefiting from someone else's paper-making budget. stay tuned.

working on prepping for my students' quiz on thursday, and the following assignment due in early oct, by brainstorming what i want to ask them to do and then not actually writing the rubric or instructions. alternating with staring at the descriptions of various job openings and trying to pick up lots of detail about the hiring departments. wrote up a 2-page dissertation summary, which sucked. feeling more chill about the process than i thought, which is also because it doesn't feel like it's happening to me, exactly. writing sample and finalized cover letter this week?
