Here's what I wrote for

ficinabox this year!

I created 5 things, including for my original assignment, a swap, and a pinch hit. This year I wrote a fic remix and tried creating some new-to-me in-universe document mediums, such as movie reviews and a list of things character is not allowed to do, all of which were fun!

Being a Thorough and Complete Liste of Things That Binky is NOT Permitted To Do (AO3 | DW)
Death & Binky, Death & Binky & Albert | 1309 words | rated G | no archive warnings apply
Tags: List of things (character) is not allowed to do, Fluff, Humor, Slice of Life

A curling scroll of paper, prominently tacked up in Binky's stall, is covered with edicts written in two very different hands.

Terms and Conditions (The Lust Blinded Remix) (AO3 | DW)

Tags: Remix, Sex Pollen, Aftermath of sex pollen, Mutual Pining, Guilt, Lack of Communication, Clubbing, Soft Dom Sam, Rimming, Oral Sex, Anal Sex, Honor Bondage, Getting Together

Temporary suspension of cognitive faculties. Impaired decision-making. Heightened electrochemical response to sexual stimuli. Decreased sense of inhibition. Shortened refractory period. Excessive sperm production. Lack of impulse control.

The facts were laid out in stark black and white on the mission report. Bucky couldn’t decide if it was worse to have experienced it in the field, or to have to read through this euphemistic fucking jargon.

After a run-in with sex pollen while out on a mission together, Sam and Bucky are forced to deal with the aftermath.

A Night to Remember [Logic Puzzle] (AO3 | DW)

Waking up in a hotel room the morning after attending a wedding, Max, Liz, and Kyle need help reassembling their fuzzy memories of the night before. A logic grid puzzle.

Eddie flopped dramatically halfway out of the bed to fish out the lube from the disaster piles of laundry and random stuff he'd left on his floor. "I have a system," he'd airily told Steve once, after Steve'd accidentally kicked over a jar of small change, guitar picks, and thumb tacks that'd been lurking under a pair of boxers. Steve wasn't a neat freak or anything, but he didn't leave landmines hidden under his dirty laundry either.

Hanging off the bed gave Steve a perfect view of his ass, though, which was why he was distracted when Eddie said, "Oh, hey, nat twenty!"

I think I pulled the majority of this list either just before or right after the finale? So there’s a lot of canon divergence in here, lmao.

But regardless, even if I haven't gone back to read any Vampires fic since, The ones I did read were quite fun!

A few more

ficinabox recs, sneaking in before reveals!

Discworld
Death and the Maiden
Death & Ysabell, 2597 words
Loved the dry & funny narration in this, so many great lines. Death and Ysabell's relationship as she grows up.

Duchess of Ankh
Sylbil Ramkin, cocktail recipe
Very fun and tasty cocktail inspired by Sybil and her dragons (somehow both fiery and damp).

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Tombs of Riches
ensemble, 2407 words
Canon-typical adventuring! This is super fun and funny, with great ensemble banter.

About That Drink
Edgin/Xenk, 3110 words
Fantastic character voices in this! Xenk drops in to check on Edgin. Loved this get-together for them.

The Mummy
What Worlds We've Been (What Dreams We'll Be)
Evy/Rick/Ardeth & Jonathan, 3857 words
Canon-typical adventure-with-a-mummy shenanigans. Delightfully fun voices, and loved how they put this mummy's spirit to rest!

Original Work
Mastermind
Art Thief/Second Art Thief Who Stole the Art First (m/m), 7417 words
Multimedia story told in newspaper articles! Really fun to watch the art thief romance unfold behind the text. Loved the faux Globe and Mail headings and graphics!

At the precipice
Professional Athlete/His Ex-Girlfriend's Ex-Boyfriend, 4045 words
"A gently persuasive shipping manifesto." Romance between a hockey player and a journalist/podcaster told through a shipping manifesto. Love the inclusion of podcast transcripts and interview quotes, accompanied by fannish interpretations and speculation. Delightful! I'm convinced. ;D

How to Do a Coup: An Informational Guide by Chang Calpurnia
Man Who Thinks He's In A Consensual Arranged Marriage/Man Given As Tribute Who Doesn't Speak The Local Language Well And Thinks He Is Property, 12,953 words
omg, this is a delight! SO funny, such a romp, and I loved both characters to bits by the end. A traumatized, grouchy himbo plotting escape and/or murder, and an earnest prince who's enamoured with his new husband. Culture clash, language barriers, hurt/comfort, forced to work together to survive, hot air balloon adventures - this has it all.

Red Sonja (2025)
i said farewell (i meant don't go)
Sonja/Petra, 7364 words
Post-canon adventure + get-together - Petra joins Sonja on her journey. Love how this shows off their dynamic. Very hot, and delightfully tropey!

Wonder Woman (DCEU)
a song heart-faint and far
Diana/Barbara Minerva, 5281 words
Post-Wonder Woman 1984. Great Barbara voice! An ancient ritual results in soul bonding, because of course it does. Loved this.

1) In my last post I shared an article about dynamic grocery pricing, and how this was likely to hurt some who could least afford it. The issue of dynamic pricing leaped out to me in this article about Disney's shift to being a luxury experience. The author wrote:

"Over my three-decade-long consulting career, I saw industry after industry use this kind of information to shift their focus to the big spenders in its customer base. Banks, retailers, hotels, airlines, credit card issuers, manufacturers and universities all learned that their richest customers didn’t just spend more than the rest; they spent multiples more. Many companies found that if they didn’t focus on their richest customers, they couldn’t provide competitive salaries to staff members, increase returns to shareholders and attract capital to invest in new products. Whereas in the 1970s and before, the revenue driving corporate profits came from the middle class, by the 1990s it was clear that the big money was at the top."

At the same time, just because something's expensive doesn't mean it's any good. ( Read more... )

3) Saw the Pixar movie Elio and can see why it didn't do well. It's a take on The Wizard of Oz but was too focused on its theme and message to develop some of the other important aspects. ( Read more... )

4)

greenfinch posted about a study on pop music showing a darker and more stressed turn in music. I had some issues with it. ( Read more... )

5) First posted at

tv_talk, a Bloomberg News article discussing how sports acquisition will be the big driver to streaming services listed the biggest months for signups during 2025 to Apple+. The top 4 were all connected to MLB games leading with Dodgers vs. Yankees (May) 722K. The top series program was 'The Morning Show' with 524K. Slow Horses didn't make the Top 10 list, but then the data stopped in September, and its new season premiere was in October.

It's clear that Slow Horses is hugely popular as a streaming show. But apparently Morning Show is as well but isn't discussed nearly as much. Its writing is also very strong, it has a large cast, and some big names in the mix. Having just seen its 4th season, I can say it is also not slowing down in any way. If anything, the personal stakes for all the characters just keep going up.

To me, the most riveting episode was 4.8 The Parent Trap. The juxtaposition of Alex and Cory's polar opposites in parenting certainly made suggestions about how and why they turned out as they did, but it also connected to how the finale resolved the season. ( Spoilers )

+ Been doing a poor job of lighting my Christmas incense, but I remembered today and the place smells cozy.

+ Know what you need right now? Funny animal pictures. Know where to find a whole gallery of them? Right here! Delighted to find there's an annual Comedy Wildlife Photo contest.

+ Humble Bundle is running a package with Vegas Pro 22, Sound Forge Pro 17, Music Maker 2024, and movie Studio 2024 Suite. The minimum is €48.56, and it supports the World Central Kitchen. Annoyingly, I cannot for the life of me find whether or not I can avoid the fuck out of Vegas' AI features (preferably deleting them entirely), but I've been missing a video editor for ages now. I know I never finish my vids, but definitely not if I'm missing the software.

+ Speaking of bundles: there's a Wholesome Snacks games bundle! And I know we could all use a wholesome snack or two. So I'll do a tiny giveaway, just comment which game you'd like and I'll do a random draw.

On Your Tail - You are Diana, a young detective who is obsessed with uncovering the small town's secrets. By day, you enjoy the cozy life, by night, you use stealth, observation, and deduction mechanics to secretly follow suspects and gather clues to crack the case!

NAIAD - An ethereal and meditative river journey game! You embody Naiad, a curious water spirit who awakens in a remote spring and embarks on a long, winding journey down a mysterious river to the sea.

Spirittea - After accidentally drinking mystical tea, you gain the ability to see and interact with mischievous spirits. Your job is to restore and manage an old spirit bathhouse, serving the quirky spirits, gathering resources, and building relationships with the fully voiced townsfolk, all while trying to solve the local town mystery.

Little Known Galaxy - A colorful cozy space adventure and life simulation game where you manage a spaceship and explore the galaxy. You take on the role of a new captain and work with your crew to improve your ship, explore new planets, and solve the mystery of an ancient relic.

SUMMERHOUSE - A small-scale, extremely zen building game and a love letter to lost summer afternoons. There is no management, no goals, no combat, and no failure states. You are invited to simply sit back and doodle whimsical castles, cozy cottages, and romantic ruins in tiny diorama settings.

+ I've just re-downloaded Disney Dreamlight Valley to see what the holiday decor is like. I am going to Christmas to the max dammit (says the one not bothering to decorate her own damn apartment). Also picked up a DLC for Rimworld and CK3 now that the holiday steam sales started.

+ My brother invited me out to help decorate their tree yesterday though! And both the cats vocally and physically greeted me. They live in constant Stranger Danger, making it extra heartening whenever they don't run for the hills.

+ It's not pouring rain outside hallelujah, this is a sign I should go buy butter chicken, isn't it? And find some holiday costumed Pokemon on the way, you say?

Sadly, the promotional efforts for season 3 of Interview With The Vampire/The Vampire Lestat are ramping up to the extent that I may have to mute the fandom on bsky now. I've already learned one thing I wish I hadn't, and knowing much less about this story (the movie wasn't exactly comprehensive or very memorable), I'm hoping to get hoodwinked and shocked repeatedly. Please wreck me emotionally 🙏

I've reached out to the mod of

intw_amc to see if we could maybe host episode reaction posts and whatnot. I'd love to have a spoiler free zone to roll around in with other fans.

Anyways, here's the latest - and last for me - interview: The Vampire Lestat showrunner reveals Louis' 'heartbreaking' expanded role in season 3 (exclusive).

Rolin Jones: "What I can say is it was very clear we had a very, very beautiful actor in that role"

“Who’s that boy, then? He going to be a septa, too?”
“What boy-,” Tom turns round in the saddle, holding onto Jace, and sees a strange boy has is huddled alongside the cart, his eyes cast down.
He has a hand on the cart, as if he belongs with the group, which she realizes must have been his plan, to slip out with him. Dressed in filthy rags, the only thing of note about him is the stick at his hip. Renfry has seen him too, now, but he is waiting to hear what she says. This is ridiculous. She should tell them he is a little sneak and have him dragged out of line.
Instead Tom finds herself saying, “That is my serjeant’s child, Ser. I know he looks a mite unkempt, but he is always getting into trouble, at his age. Look at those fine clothes you’ve ruined, child! No wonder they think you a ragamuffin!”
The boy glances up warily at her; eyes pale and grey in his long, skinny face, and then back down again. Renfry’s stare is burning a hole in her skull, but when he snaps, “Look alive and walk behind your father, boy,” the boy comes around the cart and stands obediently behind his horse.

"Father, Uncle Ned says that the King will be here soon." Jon Snow stood in the doorway, already washed and dressed for the royal arrival. Even the pup's fur was fluffed. The white fur showed dirt more than his siblings, so the Lady of Winterfell had reminded them to make sure it was clean. As a sigil of their house, the direwolf pups couldn't run around covered in mud like common dogs.
Jon Snow stood there, nearly identical to Benjen and a man grown, 17 on his next name day. The expression on his face was that of the disapproving parent rather than the son. It was like this more and more as Jon grew up, convinced of his own wisdom, and of his father's enduring foolishness.
"I'm getting up," he said, blowing out an irritated breath as he threw the furs off, gently shoving Ghost off of his pillows.

Robb leaves marks. No matter what they do, how they do it, Robb always leaves a mark - bruises usually, from the harsh grip of his sword-practiced hands, or the nibbling and sucking of his soft, maidenly lips, or the graze of his growing stubble. He rarely breaks the skin. Theon stares in the mirror, examining the messy purple splotches contaminating his jawline, his throat, his collarbone, nothing like the firm straight line Robb's lord father would leave. Robb/Theon

My attention has gone to absolute shit this afternoon. I got through the writing pieces for my writing group tomorrow, but it took me an embarrassingly long time to do it. They weren't long--a total of eight pages, but I just can't really think of anything constructive to say beyond some vague things. I like providing macro stuff, but I got fucking nothing to offer.

I have no attention span to try and write, though I may be able to get myself to read.

Heavily debating on trying The Artist's Way (again) during the new year, though I absolutely dread needing to deal with the undercurrent of Jesus-by-volume in it.

In other news, I'm started a new crocheting project: it's a dino amigurumi for a family member. It's accidentally turned into a stash buster because the colors the family member requested were in colors I already had and were the right size for the pattern. It's also busting my sewing scraps stash for want of filling.

This game trailer also popped into my recommendations, and it looks so freaking cool. Mexican gothic horror Metroidvania. I haven't played a lot of the genre, but Mariachi Legends just tickles my fancy. The pixel art and animations are so colorful, and the music is so atmospheric. I'm looking forward to the release.

Original Work, Fairy Queen/Young Woman Who Unwittingly Entered Her Realm, rated G
Gorgeous! This link goes to the first chapter which is stunning art of the queen and the young woman, with really lovely composition and beautiful colours and textures. But the creator has also created an entire reskinned board game with fairyland creatures, a cute sticker set, and even a small plushie pattern. I'm overwhelmed by the creativity, so cool!
