@absentlyabbie Something A Little Fantastic

[maklodes]

I feel like rice is more replaceable with bulgur, amaranth, etc, while nothing else quite fills the potato niche.

taking my life into my hands to resurrect this godawful hellpoll and let it run for a week this time

[historicity-was-already-taken]

@absentlyabbie omg this makes my blood boil. gives me flashbacks to that one grad school happy hour where I toasted everyone l’chaim (“to life”) and this piece of shit named Trevor smirked and toasted back “Free Palestine.” I hadn’t said anything about Israel or Palestine or Zionism. I’d merely revealed myself to be Jewish. Like wow Trevor way to pwn the Jew while simultaneously effecting 0 change you fucking asshole

Radio Free Monday

Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Ways to Give:

uwuplasmiusuwu linked to a fundraiser for a friend, Blair, who is fundraising $1,350 to cover rent; they have until today to pay the rent or face eviction. You can read more and reblog here or give at the fundraiser here.

Anon linked to a fundraiser for a friend whose family has not had a working furnace since November; they've been using space heaters to keep warm but January in Chicago has been brutal and the space heaters aren't sufficient. With vulnerable family members including elderly relatives and children in the home, they need to raise $6K to get the furnace replaced. You can read more and support the fundraiser here.

absentlyabbie linked to a fundraiser for Marion, the sister of a close friend, who is dealing with several unexpected expenses including a car that has broken down, student loan debt on top of a high cost of living, and her dog Leonard receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis that they now can't get to the veterinarian because of the transport issues. You can read more and support the fundraiser for Leonard's treatment and other bills here.

Recurring Needs:

Anon linked to karla-hoshi or Hoshi on TikTok, who is raising funds for cancer treatment for her cat Naku; they caught the cancer early and hope that he can survive it. You can read more and support the fundraiser here. (The blog is new because Hoshi didn't have a tumblr, so the anon helped make one in order to raise funds.)

chingaderita's partner's family house recently caught fire and completely burned, killing his grandmother and causing extensive property loss; he has also recently lost his job due to the fire, and a number of family members have since become ill. They're raising funds to keep food on the table, and get their partner mental health aid, and now are looking at doctor's bills for medical treatment. You can read more, reblog, and support the fundraiser here.

nivchara-yahel and rivalconga are raising funds to cover January and now February's rent and fees; their synagogue had agreed to help, but backed out after the deadline had passed for payment. They're trying to raise what they need before the landlord files for eviction; you can read more and support the fundraiser here.

thelastpyler is raising funds for food and medication for them and their family, and for transportation costs to medical appointments; you can read more, reblog, and find giving information here.

And this has been Radio Free Monday! Thank you for your time. You can post items for my attention at the Radio Free Monday submissions form. If you're new to fundraising, you may want to check out my guide to fundraising here.

wip tag list game — tagged by @muirmarie <3<3<3

rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs

this list isn't going to be exhaustive because if it WAS. well. that would take too long and involve things that should not see the light of day. but here's a list of all the WIPs i've touched in the last, let's say five years. i don't have a standard titling practice so these are all over the place.

Sorry but I need this post here. Tagged to find it again.

[moonlitramblings]

tag 9 people you want to get to know better. i was tagged by the lovely @gingerteaonthetardis - thanks!

currently reading: American Gods by Neil Gaiman - been meaning to read this for forever and finally started on vacation. stalled out a bit since back from vacation because i'm really busy but my plan is to finish it this month

last song: 'Maybe You Saved Me' by Bad Suns ft Pvris (been on a Pvris kick and legit listened to this on repeat while processing editor notes last night)

currently watching: random youtube videos for the most part (KarolinaZebrowska, MikeMGTV, and GabSmolders most recently) but officially The Sandman

current fic - reading: cut like diamonds on those edges by queenofthecon because i lost track of it and its complete and it was so good but time vanished so its just been sitting as an open tab haunting me (doctor who); too well tangled by wollfgang because its also done and i need to re-read and leave comments (lucifer) and favourable conditions by sunsafe because the vibes are perfect and i'm trying to stay in a similar historical romance mindset (warrior nun)

current fic - writing: fanfic that i'm working would b trying to figure out which doctor who fic i want to work (unit au or dreaming sharing fic) and lucifer i'm so close to the end of the first half of a big fic - but no posting until half done because i'm terrible at finishing WIPs if i dont (no one go to the AO3 linked with this blog); original fic is the edits for the novella i'm self-publishing soon and the next chapter in the novel i'm writing which is a historical fantasy supernatural rom com (i have 4 AO3s and 4 tumblrs to go with them, this is my main blog so if i like but never seem to reblog your posts its because it was a sideblog that rebloged)

next on my watchlist: warrior nun season 2; only murders in the building; but probably mostly more youtube vids lol

current obsession: my original fics have mostly taken over my brain but fandom-wise is probably lucifer and doctor who (because younger me has reasserted herself) as the top but sandman is pulling me in

i never know who to tag in these, just gonna randomly tag people based on who's on my feed right at this moment because i'm always interested in learning more about whoever i follow: @somethingunlikeanythingelse @chocolateal @mulderscully @absentlyabbie @electricpentacle @unicyclehippo @laternsinthenight @igotofetchthesun @astreamofwishfulthinking

(literally no pressure i just needed an arbitrary method to decide who to tag, feel free to ignore lol)

[boxingcleverrr]

✨when u get this, put 5 songs u actually listen to, publish. then, if you're comfortable, send this ask/tag 10 of your followers 🎶✨

tagged by @blondiest! I too will go by my top 5 from 2022, skipping repeated artists.

American Teenager - Ethel Cain (do not be surprised in the least, both cause I love her + Hellcheer Year, baby)

2. willow - Taylor Swift (This song in particular is on my Nahara/Uriah playlist and Black Dice Society was just so damn good and important the last couple of years, I wore that playlist OUT, especially whilst cosplaying Nahara)

3. Like Real People Do - Hozier (same as above but yanno, also, mmm Andrew)

4. Shadow - Chromatics (I adore the band but also I very often zone out to Twin Peaks playlists)

5. Alligator - Of Monsters & Men (one of my favorite empowering songs to run on the treadmill to)

I am terrible at tagging that many people I have to feel super comfortable to the point that I'd ptfo on your couch to do such a thing to you SO! @absentlyabbie @melifair @katerspie @svartalfhild @plenilune @lightandwinged

Here I am at the last minute of the year with one of the only pieces of the year. Things have been tumultuous!

Here's an old dragon character of mine, Cal Myhra. I've updated her to more of a magpie look and added fur and feathers. She might be a jewelry crafter instead of a weaponsmith this time around... not sure yet.

Three Ships:

Buck/Eddie (911)

Bonnie/Damon (TVD)

Scott/Malia (TW)

First Ship

i'm sure there was a ton as a kid that i didn't have a label for. the first ship i remember being into was eli/grace in once & again. Would've been right around the time shane west was getting noticed.

Last Song:

revived by derivakat

Last Movie

prey for the devil. twice a month, a friend and me get together, order in dinner and watch a horror movie.

Currently Reading

tonight, i plan to read a scott/malia fanfic, "coming home" by StarBurnedOut (@jealous-rage)

Currently Watching

Poker Face - I've watched 4 episodes so far and I'm really enjoying it. It focuses more on the victims and who they were before they're killed. and charlie cale (natasha lyonne) is just the type of character I love- snarky and seems distant but gets attached easily.

(I'm super behind on 911. I need to fix that.)

Currently Consuming:

popcorn and cream soda. incredibly healthy of me. something we can all aspire to.

Currently Craving:

sleep. which is dumb, because I actually slept in today. but I've had a busy week and some days it just be like that.

Tagging some folks from my notes (but no pressure of course):

i'm tagging the first 10 people i see on my dash, but do not feel obligated to fill it out!!

Notes on Julie and the Phantoms, Season 1 - Subplots

Subplots were actually the first thing I looked at in my rewatches for research purposes.  I identified 14 storylines:

establishing character personalities and backstories - 10 scenes during 5 episodes

romance between Julie and Luke - 15 scenes during 7 episodes

romance between Willie and Alex - 14 scenes during 7 episodes

romance between Julie and Nick - 11 scenes during 8 episodes

Molina family dynamics - 15 scenes during 7 episodes

Caleb’s scheming - 18 scenes during 7 episodes

the guys figuring out being ghosts - 20 scenes during 7 episodes

Julie coming back to music - 16 scenes during 6 episodes

the guys and Bobby - 8 scenes during 5 episodes

the band - 42 scenes during 9 episodes

Julie’s friendships with Carrie and Flynn - 22 scenes during 9 episodes

Julie mourning her mother - 9 scenes during 4 episodes

Luke and his parents - 5 scenes during 3 episodes

Carlos hunting ghosts - 7 scenes during 5 episodes

The average story line had 15 scenes, with a range of 5-42 scenes.  Looking at it the other way, the average scene added to 2.6 story lines, with a range of 1-6.

If you look at the data by episode, it looks like scenes in the first and last episodes covered more storylines, on average, with a dip in the middle - episode 7 had the lowest average at 2.27, episode 1 the highest at 3.33.

My #1 post of 2022

thinking about the white vault again and i'm just

not ever over the guardians' efforts to. understand the families? sympathize for them?

giving them back the literal hearts and teeth because the family wanted to hold their dead loved one in their hearts. wanted to see their smiles again.

and it's so fucked up and also the absolute best explanation we could have gotten for those boxes. the guardians might not be nice, far from it when it comes to the ones selected to be the sacrifices, but they're...kind of trying? they have their job and they acknowledge that it's hard on the ones left behind and they try to comfort them in the absolute worst way possible

and like someone on the discord server said. you look at the Svalbard site especially, with its staircase coated in teeth, leading down into the tunnels and caves and eventually the vault itself

perhaps you could even say the road to hell was literally paved with good intentions
