QOTD: Fishing with kites!

“In Polynesia, they used kites to fish, flying baited lines over the water to catch fish — a method that's also still around." (Lindsey Johnson, “A Brief History of Kites,” in Make:, #93, p. 53)

After reading this quote, I had to look into kite fishing more. Not only is it still around, I found someone in Dauphin Island, Alabama (near where I grew up) who's kite fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. It's possible (though I make no guarantees) that if I had been introduced to kite fishing, I would have found fishing more interesting than I did and wouldn't have given up on it.

senmut: 3 blue seahorse shapes of varying sizes on a dark background (General: Seahorse Triad)
[personal profile] senmut
2011 - I don't remember much of this year. It's the last year at the Evol Empire, first year at the lab... so a lot of change.

Thor - Do I have issues with the myth breaking? Yes. But as a superhero movie goes, it was a fun romp. (Personal opinion, the Thor franchise is a bit weaker overall than some of the others).
Captain America: The First Avenger - I loved this one. It's the only one of the CA movies I unilaterally love.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - OH HELL YEAH. Even having a bunch of actors that I don't usually care for in it could not kill my love of this! And yes, I did watch the originals, but still love this modern take on it.
War Horse - Still uncertain why I chose to watch this, but wound up enjoying the wandering tale greatly.

Green Lantern - On the list because, much as I love Hal, I despised this movie so much in the first 15 minutes I stopped watching it.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon - The novelization was better, and it spawned epic AUs from me and my co-writer at the time.

Title: your stupid face
Fandom: Super Mario franchise (if the mods can do so, please tag just as Super Mario or like, Super Mario (series)! There's too many references to stick to one subseries this time :( )
Rating: PG-13
Length: 1377 words
Content notes: Scattershot style references to at the very least the first Mario movie, a few of the Mario RPGs, the first Mario + Rabbids game, Super Mario Odyessy, Paper Mario and the Origami King and the Kaden Mackay song "Your Stupid Face" - the events of the story vaguely follows the rough story of Your Stupid Face. Also. Bowser has a potty mouth, hence the given rating. 
Author notes: Ahahahaha..... I wrote up this experimental piece with an actual ship in mind. I've liked the song for a while. 
Written for: The prompt Missing for Fan Flashworks.
Summary: A very unlikely relationship starts between the burly Bowser Koopa and his archnemesis, the plumber hero Mario, found between fights, Princess Peach kidnapping schemes and near-catastrophes over many years - making Bowser get very used to the feeling of missing what he believes he can never have.

Fiction (short takes)

Nov. 7th, 2025 07:54 pm
rivkat: Dean reading (dean reading)
[personal profile] rivkat
Kelli Storm, Desolate: Mia is a witch in a world concealed from but intertwined with mundanes; her ADHD makes her powers unpredictable. When things are going badly for her at high school, she accidentally sends herself back in time, which creates further problems both magical and romantic. This was too YA-ish for me, but I think it could work for an actual teenager who would empathize more with the emotional stakes.

Patricia Lockwood, Will There Ever Be Another You: A memoir-ish thing about surviving covid with a brain injury, dealing with a husband’s illness, and trying to write a TV show based on her previous book Priestdaddy. It conveys the hallucinatory disjointedness of brain fog, but for that reason was mostly inaccessible to me.

KJ Charles, All of Us Murderers: In 1905, the reclusive heir to the family fortune calls his potential heirs to him, offering everything to whoever marries his young ward. One of the heirs has ADHD and thus has found it difficult to keep a job, especially after being discovered in flagrante with his lover—who turns out to be the heir’s personal secretary. Everyone else in the family is a nasty piece of work, and then strange things start happening in the gothic pile in which they are trapped by mists. It’s fast-moving and very (gayly) gothic.

Caitlin Rozakis, The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association: After her five-year-old daughter is attacked and turned into a werewolf—a severe breach of werewolf law—the protagonist, her daughter, and her husband move to a tony Connecticut suburb full of magical creatures, where her daughter may be able to get an education among people who understand her. But the new school is full of traps—high-stakes testing, Mean Girl moms, financial shenanigans, and a pesky prophecy that might involve her baby girl. I liked the fact that the issues were driven not so much by magic but by people trying to game the system (as rich Connecticut denizens are known to do).

T. Kingfisher, What Stalks the Deep: Another short Alex Easton novel, this time set in America, where a strange sighting in an abandoned mine heralds something very creepy indeed. Avoid if “gelatinous” is a no-no for you.

Deborah Tomkins, Aerth: Novella about an underpopulated, cooling world that discovers Urth, on the other side of the sun, which has similar languages and human beings but is hot and overpopulated. The noninterventionist, consensus-based culture of Aerth seems healthier than the headlong rush to authoritarianism of Urth, but that doesn’t stop its inhabitants from feeling choked by their obligations, and there might be a few secrets in its past too, though Tomkins isn’t very interested in that except as background. It wasn’t for me.

The End of the World As We Know It, ed. Christopher Golden & Brian Keene: A collection of stories set in the world of Stephen King’s The Stand. (They all seem to have agreed to go with the date of 1992 for the plague instead of the initial 1982; there are therefore fewer anomalies/more actual engagement with the world in 1992 than in the revised version of The Stand, though I did note a character who was not online using “FAQ,” for an anachronism in the other direction.) Most of the stories are set during the collapse and therefore don’t add a lot, and more of the stories than I’d hoped are set in the US. There’s one story set in Pakistan that is quite interesting—this is all Christian nonsense to them—and one UK story that really gets the vibe right.

Naomi Novik, The Summer War: Novella about a girl—daughter of an ambitious lord—who accidentally curses her brother when he leaves her behind after renouncing his family because of his father’s homophobia. In her attempt to fix the curse, she allies with her remaining brother and tries to navigate a political marriage, but otherworld politics complicate matters. It’s a pleasant variation on Novik’s core themes: Epic people can be very hard to live with; power must be used to serve others or it is bad; loving other people is the only thing that can save us.

T. Kingfisher, Hemlock and Silver: A king seeks out an expert on poisons to treat his daughter, Snow, who is mourning the deaths of her mother and sister Rose and keeps getting sicker. There are apples and mirrors and magic in the desert, as well as a little romance among the very practical people. It’s nice that the healer was a scientist even dealing with magic, and the imagery is genuinely creepy at times.

Melissa Caruso, The Defiant Heir: Second in a trilogy. Amalia, heir to an Italianate ruling family, continues to fight against the planned invasion of her empire by the neighboring mages. I could wish for a bit more Brandon Sanderson-style working out of the magic system, but it was still a fun read.

Freya Marske, Sword Crossed: Luca, a con man on the run, becomes the sword tutor of Matti, heir to a noble house. (This is romantasy without magic—just nonheterosexist family structures and different gods than were historically in place.) Their connection is problematic because Matti needs to get married to save his house, and he hired/blackmailed Luca into being his “second” in the expected challenge by a disappointed suitor. So falling in love with Luca is really inconvenient. Marske’s best work is handling the arranged marriage—they like each other fine and Matti’s intended has rejected the suitor who won’t take no for an answer. But I wanted magic! If you are fine without it, then this is probably more enjoyable.

Will Greatwich, House of the Rain King: Really interesting, unusual single-volume fantasy. In the valley, when the Rain King returns, the water rises until a princess comes from the birds to marry him (and die), and then they recede. A priest, an indentured servant, and a company of foreign mercenaries all get caught up in the struggle to make the Rain King’s wedding happen. There are also undead guarding treasure as well as fairies and marsh-men, who have their own roles to play.

Nghi Vo, The City in Glass: Short novel about a demon whose city is destroyed by angels; her parting curse sticks with one angel, who keeps hanging around as she slowly decides whether and how to build/love again. Dreamy and evocative.

This comment section is open for any non-work-related discussion you’d like to have with other readers, by popular demand.

Here are the rules for the weekend posts.

Book recommendation of the week: Nobody’s Girl, by Virginia Roberts Giuffre. It’s an account of the author’s abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell (including abuse that simply took another form after she escaped them), and it’s absolutely harrowing. (Amazon, Bookshop)

Summary:

Janette, reflecting over lessons



Lessons in Living and Death

There had been a time when Janette had been certain she knew just what life, and death, were all about. She could have all of the pretty things she wished, craft games to entertain her, and enjoy Nick's company.

Then he arrived in her city after a long absence, and things began falling apart. From his near-killing of their creator to his wanton embroilment in human policies and lives, Nick was upending every rule of her existence. His partner and his love interest alike added to the chaos.

Meeting Robert changed everything.

Losing him was a bitter lesson of loss.

bluapapilio: alhaitham and kaveh from genshin impact (genshin haikaveh)
[personal profile] bluapapilio
Used my fic TBR boardgame.

This is probably the challenge I'm most worried about, because fic reading is always based on whimsy and mood for me and I don't know if I'll have wrap-up posts or not, I may just rec them in my 'links of interest' posts. As well, AO3 doesn't have a way to filter by 'on my marked for later' so it's gonna be touch and go, because the whole point is to read stuff already on MFL, not add more.

Can go forward or back a tile depending on roll

Roll #1:

Whoa, starting off with a 12! Prompt: less than 1k hits. Ruby Insides, I just added this recently.

Roll #2:

I spoke too soon, got a 5 which is the trap tile. Went back, rolled a 6 which is the TBR tile, ooo. The way I'm going is generating from page # first then by # of the fic on that page. Man seeing the 'this work was deleted' message is painful. 235x9. That's a Homestuck fic titled Red, oh boy. It actually seems a little familiar. Sometimes I keep things I've read on my MFL to read them again more thoroughly.

Roll #3:

A 9, prompt: F/F! You & Me & Holiday Wine .

Roll #4:

A 3 and another TBR tile. 106x14 which is Darkness Peering!

Roll #5:

A 9, prompt: pretend lovers! I just ended up with more on my TBR looking in the tag. 😭Okay I went back to MFL and actually found something pretty fast: behind the mirage.

Roll #6:

Another 9 and the end! Hmm how about New Game Plus.

All different fandoms! So far so good.

The other topic is Physio, and specifically a bunch of the stuff I've been doing courtesy of the (NHS) Lower Limbs Class I've been intermittently going to since the summer; I am finally managing to add Doing This Stuff Once A Week (Not At Class) into my routine, and in addition to just getting better at the exercises themselves I have noticed repeatedly this week that I'm finding getting up from e.g. being sat on the beanbag much easier.

Part 3 of notes on recent reads:

Hot Lights, Cold Steel, Michael J. Collins
Fic research, like you do. This was well-written and variously entertaining or existential but so full of casual old-school sexism, ugh. Not exactly surprising, since judging by the pop culture references and the fact that this guy had coworkers who’d been in Vietnam the memoir’s timeframe must be the ’70s, but still kind of exhausting. I was also kind of appalled by an anecdote of doing bone screws without anesthesia that came out to a moral of “we do what we can and it sucks that sometimes people get severe medical trauma” because actually, like, I do think that one was entirely the fault of the surgeon who went “it’s fine he’s already in pain” and (presumably this is the real reason, even if unstated) “general anesthesia for a quick procedure is too expensive”… Anyway, my core takeaway between reading this book and scrolling through a bunch of r/Residency a while back is that residents everywhere desperately need to unionize, because judging from the available evidence there is simply no valid reason to be literally working new doctors to death. (At least the hours this guy was working appear to be illegal now per ACGME, but then apparently those limitations are basically the opposite of enforced…)

The Owl Service, Alan Garner
Asked the library to get this a while back and remembered nothing whatsoever about it by the time they did, so was very disconcerted to discover that the titular owl service is not an organization of owls but a set of plates with owls on them, lol. Anyway: this was extremely Welsh and very sharply class-conflict-aware and really, really interesting; Garner has an extremely bare narrative style that leaves it to the reader to pull the meaning out of what’s happening or being said 100% of the time and never does any direct exposition, which is something I’ve never encountered before and found fascinating to read. (Though this did make a fairly pivotal paragraph in the ending borderline incomprehensible to me; I reread it about three times and then went and read a paper and some blog posts about the ending, which confirmed that I’d parsed the overall gist of the finale correctly but didn’t address those particular lines. I’m assuming the idea here is that spoilers )

Dance Dance Dance, Haruki Murakami
The Rat series #3. The love interest from the previous book does finally get a name in this one, god, small mercies. That being said, for a book literally titled Dance Dance Dance Murakami’s protagonist spends a truly excessive amount of time aimlessly spinning his wheels; honestly kind of a slog, though it had its moments with the two main characters besides the narrator (the moody twelve-year-old girl with the neglectful celebrity parents and spoilers )

Overall my verdict on this one was that it’s kind of a mess, the resolution with the romance at the end felt really hackneyed + not compelling at all after the build-up with the Sheep Man.

The Fortunate Fall, Cameron Reed
Finally posted the rest of my language notes. I liked the ending culminating in spoilerish )

Yu-Gi-Oh, Kazuki Takahashi (everything up until Millennium World, which I haven’t finished yet)
Reread for the first time since grade school because that’s just the kind of year I’m having, this series remains absolutely deranged and a delight, enjoyed it a lot. Reading it as an adult one really does get the feeling that Atem came out of his 3000 years of imprisonment inside the Millennium Puzzle absolutely feral and proceeded to totally overdo it with punishing Yugi’s various bullies with shadow games, oml. cut for length )

Also I did not remember the Battle City arc being as gay as it is, the whole thing with Kaiba being the reincarnation of Priest Set/o + regaining those memories + having carved the eulogy tablet for Atem + “the place where souls meet” is soooo. Wow. Amazing. Anyway, had a ton of fun with the reread, skim-skipped all of the side-character duels I don’t care about as always (sorry Jonouchi), made five ASW edit sets I am extremely proud of (which I’ll post here too sometime soon, still need to finish one for the movie follow-up to the manga, Dark Side of Dimensionsis there a non-romantic reading for the end of that film???—and maybe do one more with silly manga ones about everyone other than Kaiba…)

schneefink: Scarland castle (Hermitcraft s9) with the sun shining through it (Hermitcraft Scarland)
[personal profile] schneefink
I found out I have iron-deficiency anemia (again.) Looking at the list of possible symptoms explains a lot about my last few weeks: I thought it was stress at first and then started to get concerned after the exam. Mostly it's reassuring because it's treatable with simple iron tablets, but a little frustrating too because it'll take a while and I would like to be cured immediately, thank you, I'm getting really sick of being so tired and struggling to focus.
And I'm feeling a bit extra whiny today because I got vaccinated and my arm hurts.

The MCSR Midoffs s2 have started and are live right now: the first match was already absolute cinema, so many plot twists in one match. I watched the first two and I definitely want to watch Cub play later, but I took a break to play more Silksong (and other stuff.) I'm practicing the final boss rn a few attempts at a time, very cool fight.

Tomorrow season 11 of Hermitcraft starts! I'm excited. Can't wait to find out what new gimmick they've come up with, who bases with who (fingers crossed for a few neighbors I'm hoping for - mostly Buttercups tbh), all their plans...
(come to think of it, didn't Joe want to post more s10 videos at some point? ^^)
Side effect, this is not going to help my "too many things and never enough time" problem at all.

I finally managed to read a book that's been on my to-read list for a long time: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
Thoughts with spoilers )
Another book in the category of "if I hadn't had high expectations because I saw so many recs I wouldn't have felt disappointed." I still enjoyed it overall.

I.e. after all the faff and fuss and distraction

I GOT THE REVIEW DONE!!!

And then spent a fair amount of time fiddling around with it and niggling at it and trimming it and so on -

- but then I managed to upload it to the journal site, via a link from the Reviews Editor which may not have required me to either remember a password I created in the dim mists of past time or create a new one, but still involved the inordinate amount of annoying these journal sites are.

And lo and behold, this very morning after, it has been accepted, no corrections, no revisions, now in the editing process, copyright form forthcoming.

Phew.

One last book to review on the pile, should I put myself forward to review v interesting work just out from old mate? Have other stuff to be thinking of....

As previously mentioned, also managed to get the downstairs backroom communicating with the world again. Though getting the unwanted TP-Link returned looks a bit more arduous.

Plus, have had a haircut.

Catégorie : Seriez-vous capable de l'arrêter ? (Thriller - Enquête - Suspense - Identité - Philosophie - Paradoxe - Manga)



Encore un tome 1 de la sélection du Priw Mangawa ! Le personnage principal prépare un manga sur un homme invisible, mais n'arrive pas à le faire accepter à son éditeur. Un jour, il faut une prière à un temple, et se retrouve à pouvoir rendre invisble les gens et les choses.

A partir de ce moment, tout va devenir très noir.

Je suis partagée par rapport à ce manga. Les thèmes sont intéressants, la façon dont est écrite le milieu du manga aussi, la relation entre le héros et son assistant fanboy est mignonne. Et malgré cela, je ne suis pas rentrée dans l'histoire et je n'ai pas l'intention de lire la suite. Peut-être parce que c'est écrit comme de l'horreur : beaucoup de lenteur pour faire monter le suspense, des gros plans sur des cadavres volontairement répugnants et pas spécialement thématiquement intéressants... J'aime l'horreur, mais je voulais de l'horreur psychologique, pas ça.

Hello, happy Friday! Some links for y’all:

Crafts & Hobbies

Here’s a bunch of really artsy, really cute witchy/pagan printables including coloring pages, grimoire pages, and idea lists.

And here’s a typeface for people who love to knit— and it doubles as a pattern, too!

Pride Radio Network, which is “a multi-mode amateur radio repeater network created by and for the members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies.”

Zines & Books

Some intriguing zines I found recently:

Also ZineMap.com which has zine libraries, stores that sell zines, etc. listed in an easy-to-use directory.

Internet Culture, etc.

Sacha Judd writes about how the internet is broken for groups/communities, not just individual users. She didn’t mention forums at all, BUT they have everything needed for a vibrant community space except the problem is cost: hosting, plus time/emotion/effort for moderators to keep things running. One reason Discord has taken off for fan groups is because it’s free, you can do mod things, you can search for history more or less, and so on. It’s basically like a slightly shittier forum mixed with IRC. Anyway…

Streetpass for Mastodon — a fun browser extension where it automatically finds Mastodon accounts for websites you visit. It’s a spin off the Nintendo 3DS’ StreetPass feature!

A short but informative video presentation about ReclaimTech, a community movement away from corporate web/social media. Here’s their main website which has more info and resource links.

Here’s a little thing about the downsides of open source software licenses (h/t alisx).

Two modes of Internet use by Tracy Durnell:

I’ve found my relationships are healthier when I keep my offline-first relationships offline (e.g. not following each other on Facebook or Instagram) — following someone’s Instagram makes it feel like I know what’s going on with them without interacting. Following offline friends on social media can reduce what used to be normal friendships into parasocial relationships.

[…]

I suspect bringing offline relationships online is responsible for a lot of the loneliness people feel — social media looks like you have all these friends… but no one you could ask to feed your cat while you’re away, because one-to-many broadcasting replaced direct interactions 😿 Essentially, the offline relationship became an online one.

US Politics

Former library director awarded $700,000 after she was fired for refusing to remove LGBTQ+ books” — yay!
