[killjoysmonth]

To commemorate five years since the finale of our beloved Killjoys, this September we'll be celebrating Killjoys month!!!!! Official post with prompts coming out at the end of June, but I thought I'd give a quick update to share the current plans so people know what's up :) (and to let people know this blog exists now so you know where to check for updates <3)

The majority of the votes went to 'month' over 'week', but since the difference was very small I have decided to go for the best of both worlds and have two lists of prompts:

One set of prompts will be the ones you'll probably be familiar with if you've seen appreciation weeks come by before (think: 'favourite character(s)', 'favourite episode(s)', etc.) There will be 7 of these total, so feel free to use that to simulate a Killjoys week within September if that's your preference :)

The other set will be a broader list of words/concepts/lines from the show that can be used for inspiration (more along the lines of 'endings' or 'memory' or 'the warrant is all')

The idea is that people can choose which prompts they want to use and when-- mixing & matching absolutely welcome. And of course: no pressure, joining for one prompt only is totally cool!

I'd love some more input on the second prompt list especially! There's a google form you can fill out if you'd like to vote on the current list I have and also suggest your own.

Other guidelines:

Anything posted throughout the month with the hashtag #killjoysmonth will go on this blog :) Gifsets/edits/art/fic/fanvideos/analysis/playlists/whatever post types I'm not thinking of right now! You're also welcome to @ this blog in the post, and message me a link if I somehow miss it.

I'll keep a list of content warnings in the about page of this blog so people know what will be tagged-- I'll definitely include a warning for flashing lights, but if you have anything else you'd like to see tagged, just message me, anon is on! -> this should also give people an easy list to work from if they want to add content warnings to their own posts for the event.

If you have any questions / suggestions, feel free to reach out to me here or on my main @asalesbian :)

I'm tagging people who interacted with the initial poll so none of you miss it but just let me know if you want to be taken off this post, I think some of you may have just been trying to show emotional support :') (very much appreciated) For future updates I won't be @ing anyone unless specifically asked to.

Sally (& Archie) for day 3 of @podcastgirlsweek: WIP Wednesday! i originally did a sketch of this on my phone when I found the reference photo (under the cut) while cleaning up my gallery about 7 years ago and thought it'd be fun to redo it so I could finally post :) dedicating to @asaraphale for presumably being the reason i had pictures of Mads Mikkelsen Cat Photoshoot on my phone in the first place aksdh

Mid-Year Book Freakout

Tagged by @kazz-brekker, thank you! :D

Number of books you’ve read so far: 24

Best book you’ve read so far in 2024: idk idk i've read a lot of books that i'd put at like 4-5 stars this year, but i have a hard time picking one specifically

Best sequel you’ve read so far in 2024: Fevered Star by Rebecca Roanhorse, which to be fair is also the only sequel I've read this year. but! it was good <3

New release you haven’t read yet but want to: Private Rites by Julia Armfield (:

Most anticipated release for the second half of the year: no idea, books just sort of appear to me.

Biggest surprise: maybe Jeanette Winterson in that I liked Oranges more than I was expecting and Night Side of the River less than I was expecting :(

Favorite new author (debut or new to you): Ling Ma maybe? I really liked Bliss Montage and am reading Severance now, so. But I wanna read more China Miéville and Olga Tokarczuk also :)

Newest fictional crush: can't think of anyone.....

Book that made you cry: crying at books is pretty rare for me but Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow got me closest to tearing up i think.

Most beautiful book you’ve bought so far this year (or received): I like the gold lines on Piranesi :)

Book that made you happy: all 14 volumes of Dungeon Meshi <3 (not included in the book count lol)

What books do you need to read by the end of the year?: Murderbot 3, I keep leaving it at the wrong house... :( also Acceptance for sequel reasons, and Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers and A Study in Drowning for library deadline reasons. And then every other book I have lying around either physically or digitally......

Dirk & Farah in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (season 1)

"I think of you and me as Module "B" of the detective agency. Todd and I being Module "A", the investigative arm, but you and I, we're the strike team, for when things get physical."

for @asaraphale!

[asalesbian]

I was tagged by @liapher to post books I’m planning to read soon, thanks! I, too, am going to cheat and include books I’m currently reading.

Currently reading:

Juliet Takes a Breath – Gabby Rivera (wanted to read this back in 2016 when it came out and I was in the actual demographic for it but didn’t wanna pay 20 euros for a harcover. finally showed up in the library & I’m enjoying it, although it is pretty clearly YA/NA)

Shuggie Bain – Douglas Stuart (reading this novel for book club and I get that the misogyny is Authentic™ but also? exhausting.)

The Two Towers – J.R.R. Tolkien (been reading this one on and off for 10 years. whoops.)

Planning to read:

A Desolation Called Peace – Arkady Martine (sequel)

Authority – Jeff Vandermeer (sequel also)

The Pull of the Stars – Emma Donoghue (idk why I thought it’d be a good idea to buy a novel about a pandemic whilst in a pandemic but I’m sure I’ll get around to it sometime)

A truly stupid amount of free eBooks I still have saved from either the Tor newsletter or copyright expiration. Probably starting with Gideon the Ninth, out of those :)
