We start the season with Jack O'Neill inside the Daniel Jackson...*bg* where he tinkers with tech, learns all the things, and is Generally ~~almost~~ a wry spark. Back in his body, and expressing his daddyness, Jack finds himself to be The Man™, with Daniel as his trusty advisor, confidant and side~~piece~~ kick. As is the way of things, Daniel quickly goes missing offworld, gets kidnapped a few times onworld, on a spaceship, and online... before dying once ~~once?~~ more before the Ancients dump his nakedness right under Jack's nose, as it were. The season ends with some superfluous fishing, as Jack has already (insert your own jokes about bottom fishing, chumming and fingerlings, etc... why am I doing all the work? *g*)

An icon per episode of Season 8 that both characters were in plus some extras... <3

I am planning to do another set for their appearances together in seasons 6, 9 & 10, Continuum, as well as SGA and SGU, I just need to find screencaps for the later two, if those still exists online.

As I watched all of Wes Anderson’s films more or less in chronological order last year, I felt I had to watch his latest—in theaters this time! I went with my wife to see it. The only Wes Anderson she’d seen before was his short film “Poison,” so we knew this would be an abrupt entry into his filmography.

In brief—I enjoyed it. It’s very much an extension of the aesthetic he’s refined in The French Dispatch and Asteroid City. This is no brain all aesthetic. Yes, there is an overly complex plot, but it is mostly in service of incredibly twee sets and props and incredibly dry humor. But unlike some of his other films, The Phoenician Scheme has no heart at all. So if you want to spend two hours inside his doll’s house with quirky characters doing improbable things for inscrutable reasons, it’s a diversion.

( There are...some issues with the setting )

I want to start posting here more often again! So a meme on writing - feel free to steal it if you want to do it too!

🍓 How did you get into writing fanfiction?

I was one of those kids who had a feral childhood back in the nineties. My mother would work evenings and I'd be left alone to watch TV and put myself to bed, so I remember watching The X-Files from the time that I was like, 8? So once we got our first computer I looked it up, found fanfiction, and read it vicariously. After that came Lord of the Rings, which was the first fandom I wrote in.

As June slides into the west the comic-con flowers (not actual name - they just happen to bloom in july) raise their cheery blooms, I consider the state of things.

Um, I have been a very good friend to a very old friend, who is going through it right now. Vague posting, because it's her deal not mine. But it does mean that I've been periodically driving 40 minutes up to her place and working from her couch (huzzah, remote work), while doing her dishes / fold laundry etc. on breaks. Plus, mostly daily calls to check in on her and see if she needs me to do the above.

Interesting because it is a particularly busy time at work for me as it always is right at this time of year, and generally indicates a pivot between my herd documents through review time of year to, "Make processes better" time of year.

Speaking of which, we got good news from work this weekend.

Have I mentioned here that work has been going through bankruptcy? I could go back through posts to check, but won't.

Anyway, if I haven't mentioned it, we have been, and this weekend the judge approved the sale.

The news of the world in general is fairly overwhelming and in typical fashion I decided to hyperfocus on something I could do something about. Which is to say I now know that it was about ~5 million people who marched at the No Kings protests on June 14.

Now onto some exercise before that all hands to explain next steps.

Always next steps.

Pursuant to yesterday's (locked) post where I discussed federal public health funding:

'Where's our money?' CDC grant funding is moving so slowly layoffs are happening (NPR)

God, that's eerie, to see NPR saying the same thing I was saying.

The grants mentioned in the article are all national in scope, btw: it's everybody who's not getting these grants, not just Texas or North Carolina. These grants aren't flashy or sexy, but they absolutely save lives.

I watched season one of Andor when it first came out. I liked it well enough and felt it was the best of all the SW series they've created. However, two weekends ago I binged watched Andor Season 2 and OMG, it was one of the best series I've watched in forever. Nobody was talking about how good this was, so I'd put off getting Disney Plus. But I've now seen it and it was terrifyingly close to what's happening now with the rise of fascism.

I personally thought it was brilliant, great script, great acting, a perfect lead in to Rogue One. The only question I have is about the baby at the end. I mean WTF? Why leave us hanging?

Now that I have once again been so blessed as to watch Murderbot episodes 6 & 7 (and a rewatch of 5) a few maundering, meandering thoughts about the divergences and the complementary creatures that the books and the tv show are.

Also some massive digressions, because that is how I roll.

Which, fair warning, is where I shall start.

So, um, this is very long. I am very much enjoying the show. I very much enjoy the books. I think they complement each other in interesting ways. While also understanding that not everything hits for everyone. See also, folks I was *sure* would like the Good Place and bounced right off.

Anyway, post Covers Ep3-5.

I've been posting some essays over on Tumbler about Murderbot tv and it occurs to me I should also post them here, given long form, etc.

So, something written when I'd only seen up to episode 3.

I mentioned a Nick/Greg ficlet just yesterday and here it is. It wrote it pretty quickly (for my standards, anyway) and decided I didn't want to let it simmer too much.

Short and sweet, because that's what I need right now.

Title: Prove it
Fandom: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Pairing: Nick/Greg
Rating: PG-13/Teen
Summary: Greg learns something unexpected about Nick.
A/N: Inspired by the following dialogue prompt by creativepromptsforwriting on Tumblr:

"You can't like me. You are straight."

"Well, since I do like you, it doesn't seem like I am."

...

Greg was fuming. He didn't get angry easily, but Hodges had gone too far, accusing him of cross-contaminating samples in front of everyone. He could've strangled him. Grissom had immediately taken his side and refused to even consider the possibility of such a rookie mistake, but the words still stung.

Yes, he liked to play music loudly while he worked, and yes he didn't wear the same bland, anonymous clothes everyone else wore; but that didn't mean he was sloppy. He was an excellent chemist and took great pride in his work. Hodges had no right...

"You okay, Greg?"
