My media this week (21-27 Apr 2024)
📚 STUFF I READ 📚
😊 rounding third, sliding home. (througheden) - 68K, enjoyable steddie AU with pro baseball player Steven & massage therapist Eddie
🥰 Daddy Issues (His Boy Next Door #39) (RJ Moray) - reread; just a big fan of Jack & Channon & their ongoing story!
🥰 Common Ground (His Boy Next Door #40) (RJ Moray) - LOVE that Jack & Ewan are finding some common ground - really love that this series is showing how two people who don't particularly care for each other can work to find connection for the sake of the people they DO love
😍 ACT-verse series (ann_anotherthing) - truly outstanding series about middle-aged Steddie getting a 2nd chance romance after their first one flamed out 25 yrs earlier. Full series is 117K but it starts with A Certain Type (54K), which is a fully complete story with satisfying HEA - the rest are flashback fics or wonderfully indulgent epilogue/vignettes, full of fluffy and delicious porn. The author confesses to basically turning them into her middle-aged OCs but 1) I think her projections of their characters in middle-age with these particular life experiences seem reasonably plausible and more importantly 2) I don't fucking care because this story and these characters (main & supporting) are AMAZING.
💖💖 +227K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖
When you stop being a ghost in a shell (Bittersweet_in_Boston) - MCU: Stucky, 12K - Hydra finds Steve in 1952 & then they have The Asset and The Captain. Except they really should have known better than to ever let them see one another.
Where the Sunflowers Grow (AidaRonan) - Stranger Things: Buckingham, 30K - incredible Chrissy recovery fic with bonus Buckingham. Just. So Fucking Good.
Early Returns (rageprufrock) - Inception: Arthur/Eames, 15K - fabulous AU where Arthur's an editor who has everything on lock, dammit & Eames is a reporter who wants to mess him up. Also the newsroom is nothing but a high-pressure high school when it comes to gossip.

If you are a vampire fiction fan, a folklore nerd, or have gotten caught up in the dracula daily fun, PLEASE listen to the two part vampires episode of the Ologies podcast from last October. The guest is a professor who teaches a class on vampires in folklore and fiction and it’s such an outstanding and informative interview I’ve listened to it several times.

I love most Ologies episodes but oh my god do I hate it when Alie interviews an old dude who keeps interrupting her and doesn't follow social cues at all

i love ologies because from the episodes i’ve listened to, the guests on the show are usually like “yeah i’ve always had an interest in this thing i’m now pursuing professionally”. our younger selves are perhaps the most in-tune version of ourselves and we should look to them when we’re lost.

I'd fallen asleep with the light on and woke up two hours later, panicking about other people. Did I cross a boundary by hugging that person two months ago? Is someone mad at work because I was more lenient toward someone else? When someone publicly praised me and didn't mention other people who equally deserve praise, did I handle it badly? Does everyone resent me?
Earlier, in the office alone while stuffing envelopes, I listened to most of the Ologies podcast episode on Quasithanatology. It shifted my perspective. I started thinking about witchcraft, which at one time I thought I would practice but it never settled right. I thought about nature, and the universe, and the feeling that sometimes we really can feel what other people are feeling because we're all connected.
And then I tried reading a chapter of I, Robot and fell asleep with the light on, then got up and watched The Green Knight.
I didn't know this was a Christmas movie.
This was like a scene out of Shadow of the Colossus. This is when I started getting interested, when the confinements of the city spread out into the vastness of nature.
He's moving out of the red, into the green.
I especially loved that speech, where red is emotion and green is rot. And everything is connected.
This is one of those times when I feel like the universe is trying to tell me something. Or maybe listening to an existential podcast episode put me in the mood to seek out a film I knew would be existential. I like it very much.
Tomorrow I'll be alone in the office again, and there will be more envelopes to stuff.

Rose
rose— do you believe in soulmates? why or why not?
No I don't, and I think the idea of soulmates can be a dangerous one. I'll allow Benjamin Karney, professor of social psychology at the University of California specializing in the study of marriage, to explain. I've felt this way for a long time, but he has a better way of saying it.
This is from an interview he had with Alie Ward on her podcast Ologies. (Wonderful podcast BTW)
Thanks for the ask!

winter is harsh, but some things still thrive, if you know where to look
If you are like me and get desperate for green things in winter, I highly recommend the Bryology episode of the Ologies podcast. Learn about a really cool little plant from an expert scientist (Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer) who researches moss professionally! And then go outside and look at some moss
