Me, prepping to go back to work: I didn't accomplish anything with my two weeks off. What even was the point of that :(
Hey. Hey brain? WE HAD TWO ORGANS REMOVED. That was the point of the two weeks off!!!
I might be bad at taking vacations.

[#261 | Schemes] Challenge Post
Challenge 261: SCHEMES |
Whether it’s planning a secret party, going on a forbidden quest, or overthrowing the government, there’s one thing you need to make it happen: a good scheme. An evil scheme, or just a scheme? Well, that’s up to the schemers in question; it’s certainly possible to scheme without malicious intent, though most people would call it a “plan” instead. But anybody can make a scheme. Whether or not they can carry it out...well, that’s a different question. What do your characters scheme about? Write a story about schemes. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
Challenge ends Monday, June 9 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 261 – schemes • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |

Cap-IM Reverse Big Bang 2025: Team Justice

Title: i'll give you the worlds
Artist: Bladeofthenebula
Writer: Areiton
Universe: MCU
Rating: M
Work Warnings: A/B/O dynamics, omega rights aren't the greatest
Fic Wordcount: 10976
Summary:
There is a place for you, here. I will bond with you and give you my name and protection. Take the first transport to the border of the Empire. I will arrange transport to Ironside. It will take you ten days, to reach me. I will be waiting for you, Steven.
It's not much. It's a handful of words and a promise and it's on the farside of the galaxy, past the Skrull Empire and into the Rim, the lawless planets that only freighters and pirates patrol. It's the place of people who want to be forgotten, the place of the truly desperate.
Well, he supposes he's that.

Birdfeeding
Today is cloudy, mild, and wet.
I fed the birds. I didn't get through the whole morning routine before it started to rain. We need the rain, but the timing was annoying.
EDIT 6/4/25 -- I put out water for the birds.
There were mosquito larvae in the red birdbath, so I dumped it and refilled it. I'll need to add a piece of mosquito dunk later.
EDIT 6/4/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches plus a mourning dove.
EDIT 6/4/25 -- I went back out for a walk. We've gotten a significant amount of rain. :D
I saw an indigo bunting.
As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.

Rare Male Slash Exchange Rules & Schedule 2025
Hello and welcome to yet another round of Rare Male Slash Exchange!
A little later than usual but nonetheless I will continue running this exchange. No rules have been changed since last year: Please address all questions to the tentaclemod@gmail.com address or comment on this post.
Here is the tentative schedule, to be finalised later this week:
Nominations Open: Thursday 19 June
Nominations Close: Sunday 29 June
Signups Open: Thursday 3 July
Signups Close: Sunday 13 July
Deadline: Saturday 16 August
Works reveals: Saturday 30 August
Creator reveals: Saturday 6 September
AO3 | Tagset
Where numbers are borderline, the mod reserves the right to use their discretion; please feel free to make a case in the eligibility post!
Further nominations instructions (disambiguation, how to nominate franchises, etc.) will be available on the eligibility post once nominations open.
Each participant may nominate up to 10 fandoms with up to 10 relationships in each.
All fandoms and ships requested and offered in this exchange must be chosen from those nominated into the tagset. Please nominate to make sure what you want to request/offer appears!
RPF: RPF is permitted, subject to eligibility as outlined above. Non-famous family members are not eligible. Under-18s are not eligible for modern RPF.
Threesomes/moresomes: these are permitted, subject to eligibility as outlined above. All ships must include only male characters.
Crossovers: Crossover ships are permitted, subject to the eligibility rules above. These should be nominated under 'Crossover Fandom' with the fandom name for each character in brackets, e.g. Tony Stark (MCU)/Bruce Wayne (DCEU).
Original characters in non-original canons: You may nominate Character/Original Male Character(s), e.g. Luke Skywalker/Original Male Character; Harry Potter/Original Male Characters. Any original character(s) nominated will be assumed to be male.
Original Works: Original ships are permitted. These must be nominated under 'Original Work' in the format 'Character Type/Character Type' e.g. 'King/Advisor', 'Pilot/Soldier/General', etc. All characters will be assumed to be male. If they are not nominated in this way, they will be rejected.
Note that there is a 100 character limit on the number of characters (the literal letters/numbers/spaces, etc., not the people!) in tags on AO3. If you run into the limit and need to check how many there are in yours, you can use the spreadsheet here.
You can request 3-10 fandoms with 1-20 ships and a choice of fiction, art, podfic, or either.
You can offer 4-10 fandoms with 1-20 ships and a choice of fiction, art, podfic, or either.
As long as you request/offer the minimum number of required fandoms, you can repeat fandoms. e.g. requesting Harry Potter, Supernatural and MCU for your three required fandoms, plus another slot of MCU.
If a signup does not include the required number of fandoms, it will be deleted when signups close.
All fandoms and ships requested and offered in this exchange must be chosen from those nominated into the tagset. Please nominate to make sure what you want to request/offer appears!
If no offers match your requests, your requests will go out for claiming as an initial pinch hit. Please bear in mind that if this is unclaimed for a number of weeks, you may be asked to add extra requests; however, the mod will do all they can to prevent this.
If no requests match your offers, the mod will contact you at the email address associated with your AO3 account to see if there is anything else you can offer. If you do not reply within 24 hours, or there is nothing else you can offer, your signup will be deleted.
Dear Creator letters may be linked to in your signup in order to give a creator further details on your likes and dislikes. These are optional.
Please include anything you absolutely don't want to receive (Do Not Wants) in the Optional Details field in your AO3 signup. In the event that a DNW is included in your gift, only clear and reasonable DNWs in your signup will be enforced. (Please bear in mind that DNWs cannot be used to box your creator into producing a very specific work.)
Participants may sign up with a maximum of two accounts each. If you sign up with two accounts, please bear in mind you will be expected to produce at least one fanwork per signup. Please sock responsibly!
Minimum requirements are a complete work of fanfiction of at least 1000 words or a completed piece of fanart or a complete work of podfic of at least 500 words. Art & Podfic should be original work created entirely by you; icons, manips, etc. cannot fulfil art requests. Do not post a work in progress.
Your assignment must focus on a requested ship, and must include a romantic and/or sexual relationship of some kind. This is not a friendship exchange!
That is not to say, however, that all gifts must include explicit material. Explicit gifts are not required, but are permitted (subject to recipients' DNWs).
Please do not discuss - or post! - your assignment in public; creators should remain anonymous until creators are revealed. Do, however, feel free to discuss with a beta reader.
You only need to create one fanwork for your assignment, e.g. if your recipient has 6 requests, you do not need to create a work for all 6. This does not need to be the one you matched on; you can use any of their requests. However, please do not create a work for a fandom you don't know.
If your assignment does not match the fandoms/ships/medium you offered, contact the mod as soon as possible. It will not be possible to change assignments for any other reason.
Works containing excessive spelling or grammar errors (enough to hinder comprehension) will not be accepted. Works created with AI will not be accepted.
As works should remain anonymous during the collection's anonymous period, do not post your work elsewhere before creator reveals or discuss it the details publicly.
You can edit your work after posting it until the collection is revealed, but your gift must be complete enough to stand as it is by the deadline.
Saved drafts do not fulfill assignments. Please ensure that you actually post your gift!
To default: navigate to your AO3 dashboard, click 'Assignments', locate your Rare Male Slash Exchange assignment and click 'Default'.
If you default and your creator also defaults, you will not be assigned a pinch hitter and are not guaranteed a gift.
There is no penalty for defaulting before the deadline.
If you have not posted a gift by the deadline, the mod will default you. You will need to post a full gift for any request in the exchange (excluding your own) before you will be permitted to participate in any further rounds.
If you need an extension, please email tentaclemod@gmail.com, including how long you need (no more than 48 hours will be granted) and your AO3 username. I do not need to know why you want the extension. Note that no extensions can be granted once the deadline has passed.
Please reply to the pinch hit post to claim, including your AO3 username; if you are successful, the mod will contact you and officially assign the pinch hit to you through AO3.
You can claim a pinch hit even if you aren't signed up for the exchange, but you will need an AO3 account.
Note that if you claim a pinch hit without logging into Dreamwidth, I will not be able to respond to your comment.
You are welcome to create treats even if you aren't signed up for the exchange.
To post treats, navigate to the collection and click 'Post to Collection'. You will need to manually add the name of your intended recipient - please check this very carefully!
Treats do not have to fulfill the minimum word count. They must, however, include a fandom, relationship and medium requested by the recipient.
Treats will not become main gifts for this exchange.
The aim of this exchange is to create gifts that the recipients will enjoy. If you break the rules above or are found to be participating in bad faith (e.g. signing up with multiple accounts in bad faith; acting spitefully toward the mod or other participants; using uncredited works as your own), you will be banned from participation.
You must be at least 18 years old to participate.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! You can either comment on this post (anon is on) or send an email to tentaclemod@gmail.com.

Praxis by David Gerrold
The novella Praxis by David Gerrold (The Man Who Folded Himself) was interesting. In order to escape being sentenced to the Labor Corps, James and José opt to emigrate to Praxis, a colony world with only men, and get fake-married to improve their chances.
Let's talk about wrong expectations. None of the story actually takes place on Praxis, only in the training camp, though the camp is also men-only.
The story isn't exactly m/m, it's more of a queerplatonic relationship at this point, though they talk about maybe having sex in the future.

Korean Potato Salad

Korean Potato Salad
Total Time 45 minutes (plus 1 hour for chilling) 6 servings
Ingredients
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 Persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
1 small carrot, peeled, quartered lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, divided, plus more
1 lb. russet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled, cut into 8 equal pieces
2 large eggs, rinsed
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from about 1 ear; optional)
½ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar or distilled white vinegar
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. yellow mustard (such as French’s)
Preparation
Step 1 - Place 1 small red onion, finely chopped, 2 Persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise, 1 small carrot, peeled, quartered lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in medium bowl and massage until vegetables look shiny and are just starting to release some liquid. Let sit while potatoes cook to allow vegetables to soften further and release more liquid (at least 15 minutes).
Step 2 - Place 1 lb. russet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled, cut into eight equal pieces, in medium saucepan and pour in cold water to cover by 2". Season generously with salt and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Carefully lower 2 large eggs, rinsed, into pan. If using 1 cup fresh corn kernels (from about 1 ear), add to pot. Cover and cook, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a simmer, 10 minutes (exactly). Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Slide a skewer into a potato piece; there should be no resistance. If potatoes aren’t tender, continue cooking until they are, up to 5 minutes longer. Drain cooked potatoes and corn (if using) in a fine-mesh sieve; return to pot.
Step 3 - Peel eggs and add to pot with potatoes. Using a potato masher or fork, smash eggs and potatoes until broken up into small, irregular pieces (exact size doesn’t matter).
Step 4 - Drain vegetables in same sieve, squeezing fistfuls very hard to remove excess liquid. Add to potato mixture along with ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar or distilled white vinegar, 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. sugar, 1 tsp. yellow mustard (such as French’s), and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt; mix well with a rubber spatula to combine (potatoes will break up further and become creamy). Taste and season with more salt if needed. Transfer potato salad to an airtight container, cover, and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour, before serving.
Do ahead: Salad can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
