Chien 51
Nov. 5th, 2025 05:33 pmThe French movie Chien 51 was excellent. In a dystopic Paris divided by class, an AI helps solve crime, but can it be trusted?
It stars my beloved Adèle Exarchopoulos, whose characters I always headcanon as sapphic (nothing official here).

The Big Read meme
Nov. 5th, 2025 11:33 amI got this meme from
flareonfury with details in this post
"The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE."
I bolded titles where I was sure I read them. I bolded numbers where I've read part of the book/book series. I did not bother to underline any. There are a couple of repeats (The Complete Works of Shakespeare but also Hamlet for example) and some odd omissions I think.
The list is included in a textbox in case you want to play

Finnick Odair Fan Video - The Poet and the Pendulum
Nov. 3rd, 2025 09:37 pmFandom Gift Basket + Trick or Treat Ex
Nov. 3rd, 2025 06:59 pmI got three wonderful gifts at
fandomgiftbasket over here, including the icon I used for this post!!
spikedluv wrote a super cute Kate/Yelena (MCU) fic called Pretzels and Pizza where Clint and Bucky figure out Kate & Yelena are dating and are so cool about it.
scintilla10 wrote a really evocative Rosa/Isobel (Roswell New Mexico) drabble called constellations, and the prose is so pretty!
I wrote two gifts: a short fic for the LOVE ME HARD music video and a short domestic fic called pillowtalk ft. Irulan/Chani/Paul from Dune.
---
I didn't sign up for
trickortreatex this year, but I'm having fun reading the collection anyway. Some recs:
water-bearer, Arthurian Mythology, Galehaut/Lancelot du Lac.
I just love how this seems to fit the canon, plus the pining is so gentle but no less intense.
These External Manners of Laments, 9-1-1 Lone Star, Owen/Billy.
Great Billy angst with a very supportive Owen.
cross my heart and hope to die, Music RPF, Towa Bird/Reneé Rapp.
This filled in so many lore gaps for me!! Plus I loved how the author wrote the same events in both points of view.
Spooky Tales: Super cute art of Abigail from Stardew Valley telling a story.
It Takes Two...: Beautiful art of Morticia and Gomez Addams dancing.
It Happened That Night, MCU/DCEU Crossover, Natasha/Diana.
A super fun idea. I love the trope that anyone might show up at a Stark party :D

Spooky Season
Nov. 3rd, 2025 03:44 pmHappy belated Friday the 🎃 HALLOWEENTH 🎃 ! For those who celebrated, I hope you had a magnificent three-day Halloween weekend.
Since I'm a bit late, here is a little Halloween-centric meme taken from
author_by_night:
( All these ghosts, ALL these ghosts! And I still can't find a boo! )

In Iron Stars by VT Hoang
Nov. 3rd, 2025 05:38 pmIn Iron Stars by VT Hoang was awesome! It's the sequel to On Silver Shores, but it's readable as a standalone. Inquisitor Saoirse must escort two scientists through the blight: her ex, Iza, and her ex's husband, Cas.
The first book remains my favourite, as this one had too much sex for my taste. Apart from that, I loved the characters and all their interactions, especially the maths flirting. ^^
Saoirse is a Black female half-siren with a supernatural genetic defect. Iza is an Asian trans female half-vampire half-demon. Cas is a Latino lycan. There's major f/f/m and minor m/m (the pairing from Book 1).
