Canon Sapphic Characters Tournament Round One (Bracket 8)

[nomilkinmyteaplease]

November has been a pretty good month for theatre goers (read: me).

Almeida's production of Roots (the cast is simulatanously starring in Look Back in Anger and the plays are alternating in the programme as a part of the theatre's Angry and Young season).

I think judging by the reviews that I happened to pick the better out of the two plays. Roots is fabulously acted (Morfydd Clark, Eliot Salt, Sophie Stanton, Billy Howle on the contrary seemingly has a much smaller role than in Look Back in Anger), although maybe a bit too wordy.

Nevertheless, despite a number of people elaving the theatre before the end of the show, it was an interesting insight into the working class, small village family, viewed thought the eyes or their youngest daughter, who left to live in London, and now comes back to family home to introduce her educated, sophisticated boyfriend.

Actresses of Fate: The Winx Saga

[yardsards]

i would like to post a playlist on this fine aro awareness day

it was compiled from a mix of my own music and submissions from my friends and followers. the criteria to get on the playlist is:

-no mention of romance

-has lyrics (that are primarily in english)

-fandom-related songs are allowed but ONLY if they are fully understandable with no knowledge of the source material

-joke songs are *allowed* but kept to a bit of a minimum bc otherwise they'd both overtake the playlist

-^similar deal w multiple songs by the same artist

-"love songs" that are confirmed to actually be platonic/familial by the creator are allowed and encouraged

-songs about giving up on/denying romance will NOT be added because that counts as mentioning romance. UNLESS the artist themself is out as aro

song suggestions in the replies are encouraged BUT check the lyrics first bc a lot of people miss stuff and end up submitting songs w romantic verses. (also, submit individual songs, not artists). and if they fit the above criteria and i personally like them, i will add them (this may take a while if i get a ton of recs tho)

Can we all appreciate the things Eliot will do for his team.

Like walk around an open field.

Singing in the van.

Allow them to poke him.

Not get the right salt.

Sound like him.

Eliot is a real gem and I wish I had a man like him.

I just think we should take a moment to appreciate this. All of us working together, despite what Rosalind's up to. The Winx suite, a team. Even Stella, who'll deny she's enjoying being part of the group, enjoying being part of the group. I just want us all to remember that, no matter how bad things get out there, in here, things are good.

Warm Up Masterlist and Wrap-Up

We're so thrilled you've all joined us on this journey! From December 1 through our extension day December 8, 2024, twelve creators provided us with forty-three individual entries to Warm Up! This included thirteen artworks and thirty short written works of fic (and/or poetry, in two cases). They're all listed below for you to enjoy anytime.

The challenge focused on micro Magicians fanworks of all types, welcoming both new works and additions to existing WIPs. The “warm up” theme could include vibes that are warm, cozy, related to winter, being hot (in any sense of that word), warming up or preparing for a big event, just starting out in something like magic, and other creative takes. Read more about Warm Up.

To all creators: Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us! We're so delighted and honored! It's been such a joy seeing your work emerge and creating alongside you! (Please let us know if any corrections are needed to your information below.)

To all fans: We appreciate you so much! Your encouragement keeps us going! Please stop by and like/kudos and/or comment wherever you feel so moved!

And thank you so very much to our team of mods for making this event a reality with your knowledge, skills, hard work, kindness, and generosity of spirit! Our team includes: @eliotqueliot, @magicians4time, @museinabsentia, @state-of-being, and @unlifeira.

Our challenge took place on Tumblr and AO3. Some of the works (especially art) may appear only on Tumblr. Additionally, some creators may prefer you encounter their work first on a specific platform. So, due to Tumblr restrictions on the number of links in a post: If the work is on more than one platform, the title links to the creator's preference, with the alternate platform listed afterwards. Creators are tagged to their Tumblr profile. We'll name their AO3 handle as well, but if their work also has an AO3 link, please use that to find their profile.

Please also visit the AO3 Warm Up Subcollection, which includes twenty-three distinct titles (many of these individual works include multiple pieces created especially for Warm Up, with a note at the start of each work/relevant chapter letting you know what's included). This collection also preserves the guidelines of the challenge.

And now, without further ado...our very esteemed credits for our very first challenge!

Power Rangers/Leverage crossover

It was an odd not-quite vacation. A trashed town wasn’t high on their list of dream destinations, but it’s where they ended up. Angel Grove didn’t seem to have a whole lot of groves, but it did have a lot of collapsed buildings and torn up streets. 

“I said I was sorry about the boat,” Hardison explained for the seventh time. “I told you, I get seasick.”

“Look, just… stay put while I find us a car to rent?” Eliot asked, already regretting it. Leaving Hardison and Parker unsupervised is risky enough when they’re on the clock, but when they aren’t?

“You got it,” Hardison said, looking around. “Though damn. Might take a while.”

“Oh nooo,” Parker pointed to a demolished building. “There were donuts….”

“Excuse me,” Eliot asked a man dragging a smaller bit of rubble out of the road. “ Mind telling me and my friends what happened here?”

He got a baffling answer, more or less confirmed by the next three people. Giant robots opening a pit to the center of the earth, or something. 

By now, whatever gas leak caused the explosion and hallucinations must have been shut off, because he couldn’t smell it on the salt air.  Or at least, he assumed so until he got back to the picnic table where he'd left his people. 

Parker had a massive chunk of gold in  front of her.

"Hey, Eliot. Look what I found."

"Parker," Eliot closed his eyes and took a breath. 

"No, no, she really did find it. Over there," Hardison waved a hand at more rubble. 

"Oh, I'm sure you did. Let me see that--Oh."

A blob of green glass--no, crystal, too large and flawed to be an emerald-- was set into the melted gold. 

"Shit," Eliot said. 

"What?" Parker asked, hugging her prize closer. "Is it cursed?"

"Parker, there's no such thing as curses," Hardison said, glancing at Eliot." ...Right?"

"No," Eliot said. "But it's trouble. C'mon."

"Where are we going?"

"To steal a giant robot."

Sandy Saturday #26:

The Battle of Evermore

Imagine pasting nonsensical references to a bare-chested manchild and his corpulently centaurian intentions into George Eliot's Middlemarch or painting that same dude as a hairy stick figure onto Botticelli's Rites of Spring.

Imagine freestyle rapping about penguins' priorities during a Prairewolf show. Imagine me and my tremendous bald spot photo bombing my goddess-like wife.

In other words, imagine being Robert Plant.

Sure, Page and Plant wrote today's sweet song in question: an odd-ball, mandolin-driven prequel to REM's Losing My Religion which relies upon Tolkien-driven imagery that any Nerd Club worth its salt will quickly take issue with. Um, excuse me, Mr. Plant sir? There seems to be an error within your belted lyrics. You see, when the Ringwraiths approach the castle city of Minas Tirith they do so on winged reptiles, not horses. Understood? Now, Forth Eorlingas!

Sure, Plant, Page, Bonhom and Whoever recorded everything for the song except the vocals before our stand-in for George Eliot, Botticelli, Prairewolf and my sainted wife - that would be Sandy Denny, of course - joined them in the studio to see what could be done with their so far mediocre track.

But show up she did. Let's revel for a moment in what Sandy helped Led Zeppelin accomplish.

Isn't the song fantastic? Plant fumes nicely and fondles his chest hair with at least a modicum of taste. Page churns away at a few dozen strings, summoning up a nice, ringing tone.

But it's Denny who holds the whole thing up, Atlas-like, upon her powerfully petite shoulders. Dance in the dark night, she commands us all at the get-go. Yes, ma'am! I was playing this thing really loud the other day and my 16 year old begged me to turn it the hell off: now that's a mark of greatness!

But then there's the song's last minute. Denny, after elevating everything to an entirely new and ethereal plane at the 3:20 mark - sing to the morning LIGHT - and after teaching Plant how to drone like a primordial being, was then seemingly ordered off stage altogether, leaving Plant room to scream, grunt and belch at us until it all finally ends.

Denny, lilliputian when beside him, surely shrugged about it all. So he wanted to scream about bringing it back, over and over again, without me, she thought. Big deal. .

But he just keeps... on... going... Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back. Bring it! Bring it!

Yes, indeed: bring Sandy Denny back, you dummies.
