polyamships:27 April: How did you discover poly ships? What makes you write/read/draw them?
Honestly? No idea. Maybe it was Design for Living's fault?
Considering the types of ships I, erhm, ship, it's probably the impulse of "Why must X choose? X has two hands!".
29 April: Self rec time! what poly fanwork of yours are you most proud of? share it here! Not a creator? Then who's your favorite fandom creator? Time to share!!!
I guess Triangle? (Didier/Juliette/The Marquis)

Summary:
Mostly this month, I've been watching ice hockey - I did the other kind of skating this weekend - day-dreaming about train journey's across Canada and watching Chernobyl. (There's a bit in the second episode where they go to a meeting and essentially ask permission to kill three men to save millions. I had a bunch of feelings about that combination of bureaucracy and brutal honesty in that exchange - not something you often see in 'saving the world' scenarios - and apparently I'm processing them via fic about Eva Stratt. I love her, your honour.) My escapism method is interesting I'll say that for it... Choices one might say.

Closing some tabs.
Apr. 30th, 2026 03:22 pmgoodbyebirdI joined in on lowering the urn for my grandmother yesterday. Unbeknownst to me, I had signed up for a full day of eating and talking at my aunt's. So now my brain is proper parboiled and I've reverted to couch potato. Making this the perfect time for: a real mishmash of links to clear out my tabs.
eta wipe-out and my period got together on crushing me and here I am, 2 days running, glued to said couch. (the weather is so nice outside, ugh *glares balefully at state of self*)
+renay posted her 50th Intergalactic Mixtape 🥳 So many great links to find within, highly recommend. There's a reason it got nominated for the Hugos.
+ Why Angine de Poitrine's viral microtonal math rock KEXP session, Ireland's permanent basic income for artists, and Albert Einstein are three sides of the same human triangle.
+ Massive Attack / Tom Waits - Boots on the Ground. Really powerful music video.
Film created by Massive Attack (working with US photo artist thefinaleye). This montage work portrays a momentous American epoch that is yet to be named, and comes in the aftermath of the largest public protests in American history - focused on opposition to ICE raids, the militarisation of domestic forces, and state authoritarianism.
And Bette Midler did ALL YOU FASCISTS (Bound to Lose) <3
+ The passive income trap that ate a generation.
Where it went wrong is that the whole movement confused "build a good product that scales" with "build any mechanism that extracts money without you being involved." I don't think that confusion was accidental. I think the confusion was the point. Because if you're teaching people to build real businesses, you have to sit with hard, boring questions about whether anyone actually wants what you're selling. But if you're teaching people to build "passive income streams" you can skip all of that and go straight to the fun tactical shit. How to run Facebook ads, how to set up a Shopify store in a weekend, how to write email sequences that manipulate people into buying things they don't need.
+ What I learned about billionaires at Jeff Bezos' private retreat.
+ Italy Suspends Defense Agreement With Israel Amid Mounting Public Pressure to Cut Ties.
+ A French city cut its marine pollution — and its seagrass bounced back.
+ NASA has an official Artemis II gallery. Go look at the pretty pretty spaaaace.
+ Japan’s Zine Boom: Self-Made Magazines Take Off in the AI Era.
Japan’s current zine boom is a bit of a divergence from these subcultural scenes of the past. Rather than zines being the extension of some other cultural practice, zines themselves are the focal point of the new movement. Zine content spans all manner of genres and interests: a kid’s self-published children’s books, a young mother’s child-rearing tips, an old couple’s poetry chapbook.
Giving up on the rest of the tabs to see if I can make it into the bath 🤞

Apr. 30th, 2026 07:00 amgoodbyebirdTomorrow is BandCamp Friday, meaning the artist gets a lot more of the money when you purchase their music. So I figured I'd recommend some recent-ish albums for y'all to check out.
War Child Records - Help 2.
Insupport of War Child's vital work delivering immediate aid, education, specialist mental health support, and protection to children affected by conflict around the world.

My World Is The Sun - Dominique Fils-Aimé
I've been listening to this a bunch the last couple of days. Soothing and emotional. Most likely my purchase tomorrow.
Anjimile - You're Free To Go
A songwriter that's new to me. Introspective, queer, aching, joyful. Reminds me it's been way too long since I've listened to Tracy Chapman.
Fantasy Life - Begonia
A voice I fell in love with the second I heard it. Soft, playful, great lyrics.
Altogether Stranger - Lael Neale
Indie pop tinged with strangeness in the best way.
The Former Site of - The New Pornographers
Complex arrangements and playfulness, but with a somber backbone.
And while I have you here I'm going to be a big sneaky cheeky and solicit your help in choosing my song for April. I have three I just can't decide between. Be my tie breakers? 🙏

FIC: Inner garden (Tempestuous Tours)
Apr. 27th, 2026 04:31 pmduskpetersonFurther on, as the corridor turns once more, is a locked door. This leads to the so-named inner garden, which is the palace courtyard. The garden may be entered only by invitation of the Chara or one of his council lords. It is intended as private place of restoration from the heavy duties of the Chara and the council lords.
The garden is a green area of grasses and hedges, in the Emorian fashion of gardens of pleasure. Towards the back of the garden is a small grove of trees. The tallest of these trees is father to the rest. Imported as a sapling from Koretia, it was replanted by the very hands of the Chara Peter.
Surrounding the garden are the four wings of the palace; this is the only place where all four wings can be seen at once. The garden is sunken to the original level of the hill, which causes the West Wing to loom above it. Only the remaining wings of the palace, though, are two-storeyed.
A break between the South Wing and the East Wing is gated and heavily guarded. It offers a splendid view of the black border mountains to the south.
[Translator's note: The protagonists of Blood Vow and Law of Vengeance keep bumping into each other in the inner garden, alas.]

In honour of
3weeks4dreamwidth, polyamships is doing a little event.25 April: What is/are your current favorite poly ship/s? Want to share a little bit about them with us?
At the moment, I'm spinning
- Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot (The Adventures of Sir Lancelot)
It's honestly amazing a show for children from the 50s manages to handle the Guinevere/Lancelot side of things in a thoughtful manner, while also not going all the way with it because... they both love their King so much. Basically, Guinevere and Arthur have two hands and they can use them, godammit! - Didier/Juliette/The Marquis (Ich und die Kaiserin)
Niche af. I like to think, now that Didier has ascended to conductor (and possibly can show off his own compositions), he can get an assistant, and therefore more time! And he can join Juliette and her dummy Marquis on it. - Buffo/Erik/Julie/Mark (The Last Performance)
So.
Erik loves Julie, who loves Mark. But Buffo loves Julie (and Erik, apparently, albeit in a more love-hate way). Erik has one of those hate relationships with Buffo (that we can fix ;) ) and is way to handsy with Mark. Got it?
Very messy, very angsty, and everything could be fixed if they all kissed. - George/Gilda/Tom (Design for Living)
Rewatched recently and I'm back to spinning them in my brain. Notable for being a movie (originally a play, the London version had Anton Walbrook!) from the 1930s that has the girl getting both boys. The chemistry is just off the charts. - Felicitas/Leo/Ulrich (Flesh and the Devil)
Another movie in which its central relationships could be fixed if they all kissed. Felicitas has two hands and Leo and Ulrich should just kiss already.
(Shoutouts to Rick/Ilsa/Victor of Casablanca fame and C.K. Dexter Haven/Mike/Elizabeth/Tracy of The Philadelphia Story fame!)

Music
Apr. 26th, 2026 04:59 amflareonfuryIf you would have told me any point within the last few years that I would be listening to a country artist, I would have probably laughed at you - I mean I like certain songs and usually limited to only a few artists but I started listening to Queer Love mix list via Spotify and I was like, why is Elvis on this list? Come to find out the song was Roses Are Falling by Orville Peck, which was definitely interesting to find out - to me, he sounds so much like him. Anyway I definitely suggest checking him out if you didn't know he existed like I did.
But to be fair, I haven't really listened to much outside of radio while I'm in the car or I usually do iheartradio artist playlists of usually of Mary Lambert, Hayley Kiyoko, Olivia Rodrigo, Maddie Zahm, Zolita, Fletcher, and Renee Rapp - the last six I found via Mary Lambert's "playlist/channel". If you're unfamiliar with iheartradio, if you have the free version (aka ad filled), you get similar artists whenever you click on an artist. Or at least familiar enough I guess. Chappell Roan I think I also found via that playlist, but also she kind of blew up a year or two ago. Pink Pony Club of course is I think my favorite song.
Discovered a whole bunch of new musicians that way a few years ago. I fell in love with Mary Lambert's version of Jessie's Girl and quickly loved her other work. Now for Maddie Zahm I think one of the first ones of her work was Fat Funny Friend or If It's Not God which I adore. I think Renee Rapp got me with her In The Kitchen and Pretty Girls. Zolita I fell in love with her music with Somebody I F*cked Once. With Fletcher I believe it was Girls Girls Girls. Olivia Rodrigo I think was Vampire. Hayley Kiyoko with Girls Like Girls.
I think through listening/watching the official music videos of the above singers, I discovered Cloudy June (Girls Like You) and many more like Morgan Wade (Fall In Love With Me), Ryan Cassata (Daughter), Rosemary Joaquin (Erika), Devon Cole (Hey Cowboy, although W.I.T.C.H. was my original favorite),, Xana (19), girli (More Than A Friend), G Flip (GAY 4 ME), King Mala ("she calls me daddy"), Maggie Lindemann (she knows it), Hollie Col (Unholy), Aston (For the Girls & Mama Didn't Raise No), Sarah Barrios (Thank God You Introduced Me To Your Sister), Pale Waves (She's My Religion), Chloe Adams (Dirty Thoughts), Halsey (Strangers), Alexia Evellyn (Savage Daughters), Chinchilla (Little Girl Gone), Iluka (Cry Evil!), Kacey Musgraves (Dry Spell), Paris Paloma (labour), Em Beihold (Brutus), Ella Red (He Asked For It), Kiki Rockwell (Burn Your Village), Viking Barbie (Creep), SkyDxddy (Medusa), Peggy (Talk Shit! | Feminine Rage), Ashley Ryan (Hush Little Baby), Lauren Sanderson (Come Say Sum), Sofia Isella (Everybody Supports Women), Jax (i choose violence) and Matilda (Apologize). Also really liked Jeangu Macrooy's Independent Girls & Nasty Evil Gays (which with that title, kinda gave me pause, but then you hear the lyrics and it makes sense and not actually anti-queer)
I think the last "new" country songs (not sure how "country" they are though) I've enjoyed over the last few years are: Tanner Adell's Buckle Bunny and Lil Nas X (Old Town Road). Also really enjoyed Ashley McBryde's What If We Don't.
Anyway, I don't normally talk about music on my journal, but I wanted to do something for3weeks4dreamwidth & since I've been doomscolling too much on instagram lately and the world is just shit and I haven't felt like writing - so I figured I'd talk about some music I've enjoyed over the last few years - and yes most of them are queer related, so if anyone has any favorites or recs, please suggest away! And let me know if I introduced you to anyone new! Or if you also like them.

Apr. 26th, 2026 09:26 amchocolatepotOkay, I think I might have found my new home? It's the same vintage as my current house, with all the same woodwork and then some, plus pocket doors with leaded glass panes, greater square footage, and a functional(?) laundry chute with little doors in the walls! It's reasonably priced but there's always the possibility of being outbid; I'm heartened by the fact that my dad called up a list of recent sales and most of the time they go for the price that was given, and when it's more it's usually like $20k more, not 50+. I also suspect that most buyers would see the historical nature of the house as a negative rather than a selling point.
Truly the perfect date yes.

That's right, iiiiit's
3weeks4dreamwidth time, and despite it starting on a Saturday it's still starting off strong. I'm very banged up from work so I won't be doing much this weekend.

Apr. 25th, 2026 07:34 pmgoodbyebirdI absolutely love tarot for the rich visuals and just how many different readings/thoughts it can prompt.
