In the process of planning two more fics for this... The capsaicin prompt is giving me the most trouble because I can't think of a character who likes hot sauce in canon (except OG Roswell). Maybe I'll just pick one at random. Bucky Barnes looks like he likes hot sauce, right?

Come join us at

seasons_of_fandom! It's the landcomm formerly known as

lands_of_magic. A landcomm is a super fun community where the mods post challenges that you complete for points. Challenges could be related to writing prompts, art/graphic prompts, or just general meme-type questions/games. It was a blast last round, and you can use any fandom(s) you like. This comm reminds me of how participatory things used to be on Livejournal! I'm on team Summer. Tell them I sent you :)

I'm also super excited for

Here are the answers for the music meme. Thanks to

likeadeuce

adastreia

scintilla10 and

svgurl for the questions!

4. Is there a song you love but don't like its music video?

There's nothing inherently wrong with the Waffle House music video, but it disappointed me. I love the song, and when I first heard it I thought it had such a great message about being humble/remembering where you came from. But the music video is this huge musical production that feels a bit sterile and very distant from the lyrics.

7. Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you're not into?

No, because I wouldn't want to answer awkward questions about the shirt :P

8. Is there an artist or song that you like, despite being of a genre you don't usually like?

I like Andy Black's solo work, but I don't really listen to emo or Black Veil Brides (maybe I should?).

Watch on YouTube

10. Favorite solo artist?

Halsey or Demi Lovato.

The rest of the questions:

14. A song or album from the 50s or earlier:

Watch on YouTube

21. A song or album from this year or last year:

Music for People Who Believe in Love by Joe Jonas ♥ There's only one song I'm not crazy about on the entire album.

22. What’s your favorite song or album from the year you where born?

Watch on YouTube

28. Have you ever made/got a mixtape as gift to/from a friend?

Of course! This was so common, I remember burning CDs for my friends for their birthdays or special events in high school. I think the last time I got a burned CD was from a boyfriend in college, but it wasn't a mixtape - just a copy of a CD.

35. A song you like in a language you don’t speak:

Watch on YouTube

No idea what's being said, but it's so lovely!

38. Which was the first concert you went to?

I'm not entirely sure but probably a band that was playing for free at the Fair. Maybe Tower of Power?

40. Which was the best concert you’ve ever been to?

Fall Out Boy was super fun - that also had a lot to do with the crowd but they sounded so good. Brooks and Dunn had such an impressive stage production - even from the cheap seats it looked fantastic and every song had a cohesive theme, plus I loved their banter. And then I have to mention the very first Jonas Brothers show I ever went to, when they weren't famous and Joe jumped into the small crowd and serenaded everyone with "Mandy" and it was totally incredible.

42. Your favorite(s) “no skips” album(s):

Badlands by Halsey (2019). Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer (2018).

49. Is there a cover you like more than the original version?

Of course the original (1975) is great, but The Chicks cover of Landslide is SO epic imo (2002).

56. A song/album/artist you wish you could forget so you could have the experience of hearing it for the first time again:

A Little Bit Longer by Jonas Brothers in 2008. This was the album that launched their career into superstar territory and I really remember every single song on that album. It came at just the right time in my life and it made me feel so understood. That album was so important to me, it's hard to capture how amazing it felt to listen to it for the first time but I'd gladly feel all that again :)

This is my last game for

3weeks4dreamwidth. Send me an emoji from the below list plus a fandom [and a ship] for a fic rec! Eligible fandoms: HBO War, Challengers, Smallville, Teen Wolf, Watcher/Buzzfeed RPF, Doctor Odyssey, Cobra Kai, MCU, RNM, SPN, The Great, and The Raven Cycle books.

🐛 Recommend a great WIP / unfinished chapter fic everyone should leave a comment on!

🦟 Recommend a fic that makes you smile! Fluffy, sweet, light-hearted, that sort of thing. :)

🪰 Recommend a fic that makes you sad (in the best way!!)! Some great angst and/or hurt/comfort!

🐜 Recommend a fic that makes you laugh! A crack fic, or something that's just really funny!

🪳 Recommend a great AU!

🐝 Recommend a fic with great symbolism, or themes, something really clever, or like. just something you could write a whole literary essay about!

🪲 Recommend a great fic centered on your favorite character!

🐞 Recommend a favorite fic or several from one of your friends, or a fic author you really look up to!

🦋 Recommend one or three of your own fics!

🕷️ Recommend something of the asker's choice--a fix-it, an alternate pov, an episode coda, etc.!

🦗 Recommend any fic, wild card!

I just started using the writing website/google docs replacement Ellipsus after

argentum_ls' recommendation and I really like it. It's very aesthetically pleasing to me, plus it has the word count right at the top. I like the way the outline part works too where I can jump to different parts of the fic with headers. However, it's going to take time to completely transition out of Google docs because I have so many fics saved in various docs and I'm nervous about deleting everything. Maybe I'll just keep a couple back-ups, since I won't be deleting my Google account anyway. I do want to find an alternate email service though.

I'm still taking numbers for the ultimate music meme.

Here is a writer's meme from

scifirenegade!

1. The last sentence you wrote.
The responsibility to save Max still pressed down on her, but it didn’t feel like she was carrying that weight alone.

2. A character whose POV you’re currently exploring.
I've been trying to nail down Liz Ortecho's POV when writing RNM fic, since I seem to write mostly Max's POV.

3. How you feel about your current WIP.

Challengers Cuckhold Fic: Why is editing so hard :/
Masters of the Air Crosie Fic: I need to STOP writing Croz like a pathetic sopping wet child.
Shyan Fic: Ugggh, so much left to write.
Standrew Fic: Maybe it's too cutesy but oh well, I need to let it out into the wild to be free so it stops plaguing me.

4. A story idea you haven’t written yet.
Max Evans (RNM) running into a bunch of clones of himself in New Mexico and being properly freaked out.

🎶 The Ultimate Music Game! 🎶

Taken from Tumblr. Please put a number(s) between 1 and 66 in a comment and I will answer in a new post!

1. Are you an albums person or a singles person?

2. Do you still buy CDs (or other physical media)?

3. Do you listen to more oldies or more current stuff?

4. Is there a song you love but don't like its music video?

5. Is there a song you don't like but like its music video?

( The rest under the cut )

I meant to make way more posts for

3weeks4dreamwidth but I suppose today is as good a day as any to start.

It is so hard to find fanvids these days! And they are my number one source of fic inspiration! The Youtube search function is literally useless, and Vimeo never really took off? Or if it did, I don't know how to search the tags. It seems like a lot of fan edits/fanvids are posted on TikTok. I don't have tiktok but I can still watch vids on desktop (mobile doesn't seem to work). I can't search tags either way but at least people seem to be reposting their edits/links to their edits on Tumblr? If you know of any tips for searching for fanvids/fan edits, I'd love to hear them.

I did send out a request for Harry Crosby/Rosie Rosenthal (Masters of the Air) vid recs on Tumblr, and someone responded! They have some really fun fan edits on Tik Tok and these two are my favorites:

Still - I love the way this builds. The ending packs a punch! The longing on Harry's face!

Close to You - I love when a vid has opening dialogue to set the tone. They're fun! They're flirty! They both like music! It might be a little fast for my usual taste but it's still a delight.

We finished Only Murders in the Building season four. It wasn't my favorite season because it got VERY meta about being an actor. But I liked how they tied everything together in the last episode. All the best friend vibes were very cute, too.

Captain America: Brave New World: ( SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE )

Eastern Promises: I watched this movie because I saw someone talking about it on tumblr. It is indeed very violent and very homoerotic. The twist was handled so well!

Doctor Odyssey!! This show is so fun - it's hitting so many of my buttons. It's got the 'case of the week' vibe because it's created by Ryan Murphy of 9-1-1 fame. The cruise ship setting is pretty and also lets the characters spend so much time with each other. Most of the quirky minor characters have been really interesting, and COVID is an integral part of one of the characters' backstories (as opposed to being ignored, which I despise in shows set in the modern day). Plus the three leads have great chemistry and are turning into the throuple of my dreams.

We started watching Common Side Effects because it was created by Joseph Bennett - the same guy who created Scavengers Reign - and Steve Hely. It's trippy and engrossing - I can't wait to find out more about the conspiracy at the heart of the show.

What shows/movies have you seen lately?

Also, I have time for some Japanese practice this week: ( Some Japanese phrases under the cut. )

Clearing out my WIPs - I'm hoping to transition away from google docs but I haven't tried any alternatives yet. Any suggestions?

A Shyan spooky season WIP that I'm saving for later: ( under here. )

And prompts from the No True Pair round that I haven't started:
March Twenty-Ninth - 2 takes 4 to a theme park [Tashi takes Lily]
March Thirty-First - 3 & 4 are traveling together to [destination] - Patrick and Lily are traveling to the hospital ??

I made a post about Maria DeLuca for

halfamoon Day 7 here and in honor of the

marchmetamatterschallenge I updated it a bit to repost here and on Tumblr.

Maria is a great support character for a lot of reasons - she's the ultimate bestie to Liz and Alex and Rosa, and even Michael in certain ways. The best thing about her imo is that she evolves into a main character with her own independent story line by season three.

( More thoughts about Maria )

Here is my manifesto/tin-hat post for the Masters of the Air RPF ship Austin Butler and Callum Turner. I started this post for the snowflake challenge, but now I'm finishing it for the

marchmetamatterschallenge. Also, there are some really excellent Callum/Austin RPF prompts at

hbowarkinkmeme that I desperately want to write so I'm counting this as rushed research ~~before Callum gets married~~.

My absolute shippiest fact comes from this tumblr post. Austin and Callum were at an Elvis-related dinner together (September 30th, 2022), which means WHO invited Callum? Must have been Austin, right? Callum looks drunk and also like he's having the best time. Then, Austin is at the Boys in the Boat premiere party on December 14, 2023 and this is what they look like!! Drunk, comfortable, close, having a great time. I'm assuming Callum invited Austin to be his date for the premiere?

This article by V Magazine from March 2024 features Callum Turner. I enjoyed the interview and the photos are great too. When the interviewer brings up Austin, Callum doesn't miss the chance to sing his praises.

VMAN: What was it like working with Austin Butler for Masters of the Air, who was also just recently on the cover of VMAN?

CT: Austin is one of my favorite actors and one of my favorite people. Every day we went in together I was inspired by him. He brings such wonderful gravitas to Cleven, and humor. I think he nails this part.

Or, the one where Tatty becomes a pilot because of some extraordinary circumstances. And then she meets Sandra.

A/N: Warning for the zombie apocalypse! Written for the heavy artillery holiday exchange. This is the fic I'm the most proud of writing in 2024 just because I liked the world building I did for this one.
