[sophia-sol]

My recs for the month of February! This month included festivids getting posted so there are a lot of small-fandom vids in this batch, as well as the usual run of various mxtx fanfic plus other stuff. The lineup:

Romeo+Juliet – 2 vids Taskmaster UK – 1 vid Jesus Christ Superstar – 1 vid Catherine Called Birdy – 1 vid Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – 1 vid Moby Dick – 1 vid the Knives Out series – 1 vid Shakespeare’s As You Like It – 1 vid Hikaru No Go – 1 fic SVSSS – 3 fics MDZS/CQL – 4 fics

Romeo+Juliet

Trust+Fall, by sandalwoodbox

it's festivids time!!! this is probably the first of SEVERAL vids I will be reccing today

this one is for the film Romeo+Juliet, and focuses on the Romeo/Juliet relationship

set to the song "Parachute" which I previously knew from an extremely cute Leverage vid, so it was fascinating to see how this vid pulled out very different themes from the song and made a much darker, more painful vid, though cut through with moments of cuteness and levity, as the tension ramped upwards towards Romeo and Juliet's inevitable end

it was so good!

2:52 in length. Music only, no added sounds/dialogue. No subtitles.

Magnetic, by sandalwoodbox

another Romeo + Juliet vid, this one focusing on Mercutio

it's about how magnetic a character and a person Mercutio is and like. YUP. AGREED.

0:58 in length. Music only, no added sounds/dialogue. Subtitles are available.

Taskmaster

Blood in the Cut, by findmeinthealps

Taskmaster UK vid focusing on Alex and the uhhhh dynamics in the show that he created

I love the way the editing turns so many of the weird visuals into something that the camera has an erotic focus on. it's so effective! and the song really amplifies it.

3:13 in length. music only, not added sounds/dialogue. no subtitles available.

Jesus Christ Superstar

Hope on Fire, by aguntoaknifefight (swirlingvoid)

a Jesus Christ Superstar vid which draws on many different productions of the musical, both stage and film, to look at Judas's relationship with Jesus

I love how it gets across how intense and agonising a relationship it is, and the use of many different sources helps hammer home the inevitability of its tragedy too

3:45 in length. music only, no added sounds/dialogue. subtitles are available.

Catherine Called Birdy

Jackrabbit, by Tafadhali

vid for the movie Catherine Called Birdy, about Birdy and her relationship with her parents

I haven't actually seen the movie but I have loved the book for many years!

and this vid felt like it exactly captured the feel and the mood of the story. It's lovely.

3:24 in length. music only, no added sounds/dialogue. no subtitles.

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

Disaster Party, by Scribe

so I have not actually seen the dungeons and dragons movie yet but this vid about the adventuring party was just so fun and charming to watch

upbeat and loving look at the characters and their various misfortunes as they make mistakes and keep going

3:12 in length. music only, no added sounds/dialogue. no subtitles.

Moby Dick

Here it Goes Again, by eruthros

Moby Dick vid featuring as many different adaptations and inspired-bys as the vidder could fit in

here it goes again! the story keeps repeating itself! you can't escape it!

so much fun and so impressive

3:01 in length. Music only, no added sounds/dialogue. Subtitles are available.

Knives Out series

'Til You Hit A Nerve, by stardust_rain

about the heroines of Knives Out and Glass Onion

idk that I have anything insightful or interesting to say about this one but it's a good vid! I liked it!

2:27 in length. Music only, no added sounds/dialogue. No subtitles.

As You Like It

Boys Keep Swinging, by Tafadhali

a vid about Rosalind in many different productions of Shakespeare's As You Like It

a vid that is just having SO much fun leaning into being as queer about gender as it can manage

and I had just as much fun watching it!

2:00 in length. Music only, no added sounds/dialogue. No subtitles.

Hikaru No Go

Dragons and Other Metaphors, by esama

canon divergence genfic about Akira's pov on Hikaru, and like, it's been SO long since I've been in this fandom that I've forgotten all the contextualization to recognize what the point of divergence is lol

but it's a REALLY good fic about how large a figure Hikaru is in Akira's life, and the rivalry experience Akira is so committed to

3k words in length

I saw this fic thanks to a rec from Rozzychan on fedi so thank you!

SVSSS

Small Fish in an Unsettled Pond, Violent_entertainment

this is part of a series of unconnected works the author is writing, each one focusing on the relationship between Shang Qinghua and a different one of the various Cang Qiong peak lords

today's is about Shang Qinghua and the Ku Xing Peak Lord! yes, one of the peak lords who doesn't even get a name in canon

sqh and the kx peak lord are friends and unlikely allies in the effort to make sure lbh doesn't destroy the sect and mash the realms together

I love how the author comes up with so many different backstories for sqh in the different fics

and I love this vision of the kx peak lord! and what lbh would be like under this lord's tutelage!

4k words in length

stuffed with fluff (and blood and bones and rage), by nyoomerr

it's always a good day when nyoomerr posts a new svsss fic!

this one is about original lbh, beginning in his abyss years, visiting shen yuan in his dreams

lbh can't move or act or speak in these dreams but he gets to hear/read about everything sy says about lbh

over years lbh gets more and more obsessed with sy (obvs)

I love watching lbh's growing realizations of the nature of his frustrations, mediated through getting to hear sy express things that are so different from what anyone in his waking life ever says

I love how much he craves someone who SEES him like sy does, and yet sy can't see all of lbh because the parts of lbh's life he gets to see are all mediated through the nature of what a stallion novel will focus on!

and the ENDING. it is perfect! I'm feral at the thought of what will happen next

17k words in length

Help! My Ex-Boyfriend Transmigrated And Now He's My Shixiong! by kitschlet

just reread this fic and it's as fun as it was the first time!

in which sqq and sqh were exes back in the real world

they figure out who each other are and immediately fall to bickering over what actually happened in their relationship

these two are SO FUNNY and SO RIDICULOUS and my heart gave a pang anyway! truly the magic of cumplane

I love them and they're the worst <3333

2k words in length

MDZS/CQL

The light that he brings, by raitala

mdzs/cql modern au where wwx reappears after many years and lwj wants to keep him in his life in whatever way he can

I love! how much they care about each other, and how they try to navigate the new/old dynamics between them with the additional perspective that being older will bring

though lwj still hasn't entirely figured out the framework to understand his attraction to wwx

they're both trying so hard to not overstep boundaries between them but they can both agree that whatever is best for a-Yuan is worth doing

watching them slide into intimacy and intertwined lives, and how lwj comes alive with wwx and a-yuan in his life! endless delight

impeccable under-negotiated d/s vibes between them

I love the glimpses into all the other people in their lives as well!

ahhh there are so many things I could keep saying about this fic! it's so good

106k words in length

the beauty of maturity, by hisevilforest

mdzs/cql

look this is uhhh not a common ship so I just smooshed the names together for the hashtag and called it good

Lan Jingyi and Xue Yang run into each other alone in all the fog of yi city

their dynamics with each other are SO fun, neither of them trusting each other and yet both having a great time in their various ways

jingyi's pov is GREAT

I think the author's tags are a great look into what the fic is like: hostage situations, poisoning, making out, frottage, mind-games, mouthy jerks who escalate, sexy swordfighting, being walked in on by hanguang-jun specifically, blink and you miss it glimpses of xue yang's angst, but mostly humour

this is a reread for me and it's just as worth it the second time (or third, or fourth, or --- )

6k words in length

moored, by fluffysocks

mdzs/cql

Because Of Reasons, wwx and jc are both married off to lwj after the destruction of lotus pier. wwx is blissfully happy about it; jc struggles with it on a NUMBER of fronts

from jc's pov, about him figuring out how to have a successful relationship with his husband, with his place in his new sect, with his brother and co-spouse, with himself and his struggles in cultivation these days

jc's pov obviously doesn't like to think about any of these things straightforwardly, he's too busy being tsundere about everything lol

I love seeing him finding his own way, figuring out how to have a life that works for him even if it isn't what he would have chosen!

17k words in length

(also: fuck jkr and all, but if you also fondly remember helenish's hp fic "theft of assets, destruction of property" then this is the fic for you!)

Lans Never Kiss and Tell, by FeelsForBreakfast

mdzs/cql modern AU wangxian fic wherein wwx finds out that lwj has kissed all of their friends except him

obviously he immediately goes insane about this

I'm very charmed that this is a "mutual pining" trope fic wherein the two of them never doubt for even a moment that they are each other's most important person

the writing is extremely funny. such good comedy bits overlapping with the genuine emotions in ways that make both parts better!

There are so many things going on in Lawrence’s head that he’s starting to lose track, starting to get confused and angry and lose himself in what he feels. It’s all a chaos of emotions, turning him into something hectic and uncontrollable. He’s trying to figure it all out—who put him in jail; who killed his father; what the best way to retaliate against his enemies is after all that happened during the purge and its aftermath. Every time Lawrence tries to make sense of it, his blood starts to burn and his chest gets so heavy he can’t breathe anymore. 

This is one of those moments. 

He doesn’t think twice when Marcelo walks through the door into the Captains main office, just says the first thing that comes to his head, the single thread of anger and pain that he can pluck. “I need help figuring out how to retaliate against Rafaella,” he says to them, picking his head up from where it had been leaning on his hands, elbows on the desk, not caring if Marc was bringing in something else to talk to him about, not caring if they have other things to do, just—needing them.

          “we need to stop meeting like this.” she reaches for her glasses, slowly taking it off before offering a somewhat genuine smile. looking at him, the ghoul can’t help but think about their fateful encounter. Their waltz, the exchanged giggles and thoughts... “people are going to talk.”

It was her birthday and she was awfully bored, all things considered. With a city as lively as this one (lively in all senses of the word, positive or negative), you’d think she’d find a fun way to celebrate.

But why do that, when she can do what she usually does? A.k.a find the cheapest bar and spend the night drinking the same kind of beer until it closes. She was sitting alone at a table, taking a drink from her mug, when someone else came around and made themselves comfortable in the seat across from hers.

“Did you come to offer to pay for my next drink?”

[fairste-blog]

@calacavera // starter call.

It seems fate would have it that if she wasn’t to be trapped in Library, then she was to be confined to another world. It felt strange to sit and enjoy the day. She had yet to fully comprehend that this was a world where she didn’t have to watch her back nearly as much; the war cries that filled her home has quieted, and she was left pondering her next course of action. Can she even fulfill her wish in this place? For once, the strange and eerie puppets were not here to guide ( though she hesitated to call upon their wicked assistance ) whose life she needed to take to advance.

And so, the life of the innocent cat in front of her was spared without much thought ( though she never intended to so brutally take it out ). And perhaps, in the midst of such absurdity, the rigid and ice-like figure allowed herself a smile.

Sim ages at the start of my Uberhood

I'm using a 2 days = 1 year age mod to play this new Uberhood I'm panning (and actually already started to play when I need pause from the Somersets) and with a really difficult algorithm I have calculated each Sim's age with the default aging system and translated it into their age with the mod, all with the help of SimPE (I have quite a lot of free time currently xD). So to keep track of everyone's start age, here's my masterpost, it's simply for my own convenience. I plan to make every name a link that leads you to the chronological tag (that didn't work, there seems to be a link-limit?).

@mientesas​

  “Okay, okay...” Maya muttered under her breath, “twelfth time’s the charm...”

   She was doing her best to see if she could get her spirit channeling to work, but, well... she wasn’t having much luck. Back when she was a less experienced medium, this sort of thing would happen to her a lot, and some simple meditation and mindfulness exercises were usually sufficient to fix everything, so that was where she had decided to start.

   But the thing about spiritual meditation was that it kind of required a very... specific environment. Sitting under a freezing cold waterfall would have been preferable, for instance, but at the very least she needed to be surrounded by peace and natural forces. But that required her to wander off into the forest alone! She was already on edge, and she wasn’t about to go increase her chances of running into someone dangerous.

   So she was stuck trying to meditate next to this very public tree, much to her frustration. She was so wound up that every time someone walked by or made noise, her concentration was totally broken, which only made her task harder as she grew more and more annoyed. Eventually, she couldn’t take it anymore.

   Right, she thought, the next person to go stomping by is gonna get a piece of my mind!

   “That’s it!” she exclaimed a few minutes later, only to open her eyes and realize that, uh, this guy looked kind of intimidating, actually. “Can’t you see--uh, that is, actually never mind! Forget I said anything!”

[ourimpavidheroine]

Yeah, so I read the comic. Spoilers below, consider yourself warned.

I think the artwork is great, and thank fuck they got a decent colorist. The first series was hideously colored with some sort of an overall mustard tone, I still can’t get over it. In this one the drawings are crisp and animated, and the color is rich and has more than three tones to it. Michelle Wong has a knack for nailing facial expressions which works so well in this kind of story. Huge thumbs up from me.

(Although I still hate that Mako went back to his teenage hair. I do not at all get this. AT ALL. Why the hell would he want to do that? This says a LOT to me about how Bryke sees the obviously temporary maturity they gave him in Book 4 since I sincerely doubt the return to his teenage hair was a choice made by either of the comic artists.)

The writing, though? A huge thumbs down from me.

The first Korra comic had Asami In Danger ™ as a means of moving the plot forward and now the second one has it as well. Sure, we’ve got Mako and Bolin thrown into the mix to up the stakes a little. But at its heart? That’s just lazy writing. And it’s very, very male writing as well. I loathe the damsel in distress trope precisely because 99.9% of the time isn’t written well. (This is definitely not one of the .01% of the times it is right.) Ho-hum, Asami has been brainwashed to hate Korra. I mean...there’s no real drama there. It’s not really her! The drama the two of them were having over even having Kuvira along was more interesting than that. There are no stakes with the brainwashing. We know that it’s going to get fixed; the Krew (and Wu) won’t stay brainwashed forever. 

Listen, Korra is the fucking Avatar. She is the most powerful person in that Universe, and her job is to bring stability and balance. Not to chase around her girlfriend who keeps getting kidnapped. TWICE.

At least we didn’t have to deal with straight white cis dudes writing about systemic homophobia in this one. (Or at least not so far. They aren’t done yet.)

Wu singing along to peeing actually made me laugh. That is very teenage Wu. (Also? His Jungle Outfit was EVERYTHING.) I did like the swamp vision of Hou-Ting and it actually showed that despite the accusation she was making that he was giving up the crown because he didn’t care/was a coward that it wasn’t the case. Which obviously is more in line with how I see the character. Although Toph calling him Spindleshanks pisses me off because now I can never have Lin do it in my fanfic. DAMMIT. Also? Pabu on his shoulder was frankly adorable.

Toph was great, as she usually is. Although you know what I loved the most about her in this volume? The way she’s cradling an injured Opal at the end. That’s the first gentle thing I think we’ve EVER seen Toph do, on the show or otherwise. I thought it was beautiful. 

I do like that Korra is still trying to work forward in how to be the Avatar, even when the things she does as an Avatar aren’t always approved of my her nearest and dearest. That’s one thing I always did think Bryke got right for her; it’s been a struggle for her to find the balance between having her own life and being the Avatar and I personally think it’s one she will always have, even if age and experience ease it for her as she gets older. I think all Avatars do.

I did like that even when brainwashed Mako took charge. That’s just what he does; even being brainwashed doesn’t change it.

Oh lord, and I guess I have to address Kuvira. So look. Here’s the thing. Bryke clearly wants to redeem her. Which...I know there are a lot of Kuvirastans out there that are happy about it. That’s not a slam on my part; I am not interested in it, but that’s why I write my fanfic the way I do. Fans like what they like, and redeeming her is a big one for a lot of people. I’ve got no problem with redemption stories, if they are done well. (Zuko’s redemption arc remains one of the best I have ever seen.)

But in order to redeem Kuvira they have to retcon her. They have quite literally no other choice in order to redeem her. And I loathe that regardless of what story it is. I mean, just walking her back by saying that Guan was doing experiments without her approval? Come on. 

The thing is this: canonically speaking, Kuvira commissioned a weapon of mass destruction that she had every intention of using, and which she did use. She killed we don’t know how many people (I mean, the idea that a city as big as that one had a 100% clearance rate is just silly, there were plenty of people who didn’t evacuate for various reasons, never mind the sailors on that ship she took out), left who knows how many homeless in Republic City, caused who knows how much yuan worth of damage. She took out half a fucking foreign city, which she attacked without any provocation. You cannot erase that by saying that she didn’t approve human experimentation and had a rough childhood. You just can’t.

That’s not even getting into her attacking Zaofu as well as conscripting soldiers from all over the Earth Kingdom and coercing provincial governors into allowing her to take control. I mean, she was a security guard who became a fascist dictator in the space of three years. You cannot forget that, no matter how hard you retcon her. If you do forget it it’s because you wanted her to have never done those things in the first place, you know? But she did do them. It’s canon.

Bryke’s whole stated approach - and it is stated, Mike DiMartino has done interviews - of Kuvira just wants to do good but can’t understand why Asami won’t forgive her for killing her father and never mind all of those other people is just painful to me.

Now look. The idea that Korra recognizes that as the Avatar she has to put aside her personal feelings and deal with Kuvira as a means to an end for a political situation she cannot handle on her own is not one I have a problem with. AT ALL. And having her and Asami clash over that? GOOD STUFF. In fact, I hope like hell some of the better fanfic writers out there are jumping on that, because that’s something that I firmly believe they’d have to deal with as long as they have a relationship with each other. Asami isn’t dating the Avatar, after all; she’s dating Korra. But Korra IS the Avatar, and that’s something the two of them will have to come to terms with, which they clearly have not. So I am onboard with this, absolutely. Yes!

But Korra does not have to retcon Kuvira. She does not have to understand nor forgive her. She does not need to be her BFF. As the Avatar, what she should be doing is using Kuvira to help bring about the balance that is her entire job and then putting her back where she found her, because the Avatar’s job is not to dispense justice or override what has been decided in a court of law. If Kuvira is going to be pardoned from her jail sentence forever then that’s for Zhu Li to decide as the new president of Republic City, not Korra.

(I have a sinking suspicion Bryke is going to have Zhu Li - who was the only person actually working directly under Kuvira to have the courage to not only defy her but to call her out on being the monster she was and get sentenced to death for it - pardon her. UGH. LAZY WRITING.)

I am sorry that Kuvira’s parents were shitheads. My own mother punched me in the face and broke both my nose and glasses when I was cast as Mercutio in my high school rendition of Romeo and Juliet because...well, I guess because she didn’t like that I would be playing a guy and not Juliet? (I dunno, it was 35 years ago and I’m still not sure but I’ve got a crooked nose to remember it by.) She was not exactly winning any prizes in the mothering department, believe me. Nevertheless I am still responsible for the decisions I have made as an adult. Having a shitty childhood was not my fault, but it certainly is my problem if I hurt others because of it. Kuvira is no different. I have a nagging suspicion that we are being set up to give Kuvira a get out of jail free card for the whole FASCIST MURDERING DICTATOR thing because her parents sucked. And frankly, I think that’s a terrible message for Bryke to be giving to people reading this comic and to be frank I am just bewildered as well as angered by it. I mean...they aren’t, right? They are setting up the whole bad childhood thing in order to prove that no matter how rotten things were for you you are never justified in cruelty (or you know, dictatorships) towards others? Right? Please?

Not to mention I am all for forgiveness but Kuvira didn’t pull a few pranks as a teen. She attacked foreign countries without provocation, commissioned and used a weapon of mass destruction, conscripted armies, set up camps for dissenters, and so on. If you want to redeem her, then have her recognize that she did wrong and willingly GO TO PRISON BECAUSE OF IT. The homeless, grieving and devastated people she left behind deserve that, they really do.

I did like that Su came when Kuvira asked. Her feelings about Kuvira are clearly complicated ones - to say the very least - but she was able to put them aside when her help was needed. That’s the Su Beifong I believe in and write about. She brought her three warrior children along as well. (Although what Opal was doing in Zaofu instead of RC I don’t know, but hey, what’s a plot?)

But if she goes on to forgive Kuvira for straight up attempting to murder her son then I call bullshit all the fuck over that. I’m a mother. NOPE. There are limits. I am telling you, anybody who tries to retcon that doesn’t have children themselves. The end.

My baby Baatar is coming back. Ya’ll know how I feel about him. I have no faith that Bryke will do him right, especially as Bryan once said that he was the character he hated the most. I cringe to think of what they are going to do to him. Blame him for all of Kuvira’s mistakes in order to continue her retcon? Retcon him into being the one actually responsible for her leaving and doing the things she did, making him the puppet master behind the scenes? Would not surprise me at all if it happened. Not at all.

Bad things happen 01~

@badthingshappenbingo

A little thing to start~

You all, feel free to ask. Do your worst. Make me hurt this poor boy!!

Prompt: touch starved

Fandom: Romeo et juliette

Ship: past tycutio

Post canon, Mercutio survives and tybalt is punished.

It came out a bit darker than expected, actually... It deranged from the initial idea, so... (also, written on the phone in the morning, I'll check for mistakes at home, sorry about that)

------

Tybalt barely looked up from where he was sitting, his back against a damp, cold wall, he heard the metal keys against the bars of his cell, a voice whistling softly but he didn't look up, he knew if he did so he would be lost, for good. He couldn't give in, not yet, he knew he had every reason to tmbe imprisoned like that, away from the world, away from the sun, with heavy chains around his wrists, he knew it was mercy after what he did, he deserved death. But maybe death was the merciful ending for his crimes and this-- this was the true punishment. He couldn't look up.

The cell bars got opened and he fixed his eyes on the floor, brown boots soon entered his vision, fine polished and shining, not even some dust from the floor on them..

"don't look up. Don't look up." he repeated himself, he had to resist. He heard some rustling from the chains, they were checking everything was still in place, they feared he would try to escape.

Oh, but he tried. For the first five days, then he gave in, no point on trying, the chains were resistant and he had lost any will to run. Run where, anyway? He had nowhere to hide, not from the prince's men. So he became quiet, submissive, he took every punishment they sent him. Words? Knives? Traditional tortures? Never before he thought the Prince to have this much knowledge on tortures, how wrong he was to think that. - how wrong it had been underestimating Valentine. - but the real torture was that.

"don't look up." he swallowed on dry throat, it almost hurt doing so.

"my poor Capulet, - the man said, his voice soft, falsely worried, he knew it by then. - I have some water for you." Tybalt almost heard him smile.

"no..." he forced with what little voice he still had, it hurt to speak, he felt his lips crack, he felt blood wetting them, warm and sticky.

"no? - he asked, Tybalt didn't see him tilt his head, long hair falling on the side. - oh, yes! We're playing this game again." he sounded so childish, an excited child but Tybalt had no strenght to roll his eyes at him, too tired, too weak. "you say no, I force you, I win. I like this game."

He stepped closer and knelt on the dirty floor, a goblet in his hand. There was no kindness when he pushed it to tybalt's lips, no kindness when he grabbed his hair and pulled back his head forcing water down his chapped lips. When the goblet was blissfully empty and he let go Tybalt let his head fell forward coughing what water he couldn't get down.

A hand, soft as silk, long fingers he once had known so well, caressed his cheek.

"don't look up." he repeated to himself again, but leaned in the touch nevertheless. His hand was cool on his warm skin. He thought that staying on a cell under the palace would have been cold but it wasn't, after a week or so he could only feel warm. - that was when the first sign of a continuing fever kicked in, but he didn't like to think of that. -

The hand suddenly retracted, as if burned at the touch. And that was it. That was his downfall.

Tybalt looked up. Through dazed sight mercutio stood in the light of a torch, dark curly hair falling free on his back, his eyes shining maliciously in the light, the empty goblet in his hand. He looked down at him and smiled.

"Cu--tio..."Tybalt tasted blood when he spoke, he tried to move, to lift an hand toward him, toward the man that was once his lover and now his jailer, he tried to get closer to him, to his hand again, to feel it on his skin. Oh, how he longed for that touch, for any touch. but mercutio only smiled and took a step back.

"I-- I'm sorry. - tybalt stammered out. - I love you..." nothing changed on mercutio's face, no surprise, no shock, not even a fake one. Instead he kept smiling, he turned and closed the bars with the heavy key before looking back at his prisoner once more.

"oh, Tybalt... - he whispered. - if only someone loved you." and with that he left.

well, well. it appears that vida is, once again, not having fun. shame, it’s a carnival after all. looks like it’s up to mercutio to set his friend straight. “ alright alright. you can put away your frowns man come on. you are about here -- ” mer’s hand demonstrates just how low this guy’s mood seems to be, moving it up when he starts speaking again “ -- and i’m going to need you to bring it way up here pal. come on, get some drinks with me and let’s loosen you up some! ” mercutio already has a few drinks under his belt by now through this little fundraiser but that doesn’t mean he won’t entertain the idea of some more. especially if this will get vida out of whatever funk his entire life has placed him in.
