On August 7, 1981, the animated film "Heavy Metal" was released. In contrast to many other countries, it was part of a small list of animated movies made for adults in America. The anthology movie, only loosely tied together, was based on the mature illustrated magazine "Heavy Metal", which was the English translated version of the French "Metal Hurlant", pieces from "National Lampoon", and fiction. Due to issues with releases for the music, it took 15 years for the movie to be released on home video. The movie segments were "Soft Landing", "Grimaldi", "Harry Canyon", "Den", "Captain Sterrn", "Neverwhere Land" "B-17", "So Beautiful & So Dangerous", "Taarna", and the "Epilogue". ("Heavy Metal", Animated film, Event)

The Crawling Hand (1963)
Movie #1,059 • WATCHLIST WEDNESDAYS
Man, I just wasn't in the mood for this. I think I might need to start smoking pot again. I honestly didn't think this was Mystery Science Theater worthy. Sure, the titular hand is comical and some of the overacting by protagonist Paul (Peter Breck) is funny, but there's not a whole lot of meat on the bone. Maybe under different circumstances (marijuana) this would have been better but a big ole meh and a shrug from me for now.
SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Now I’m only antiquated to the WEBTOON comics but I noticed amongst the Griz Grobus sequel lore book there was a tidbit on Hive-men, I’m assuming that was a bit of a reference to Humanity Lost? And if it’s alright can you go into more on this lore?
Ah this is an interesting wrinkle - not to toot my own horn too loud, but by god, my hive men predate humanity lost by a good few years!
They first arose while I was working on Prophet and collaborating with my friend Matt Sheean on a story about hive-men on mars, back in 2013 (that never quite materialized into a solid story)- with the main thrust of the tale being not about the hive as an inexorable mindless mass, enslaved to a queen (which is the usual villainous hive depiction), but with the hive as a sort of beneficial, eusocial, communitarian approach to living on a hostile world - contrasted well against the individualistic, identitarian and ultranationalistic worldviews of the earthmen trying to conquer them. (Ive read enough sci fi with the same mindless hive army...)
(below - one of matts drawings for the hive city)
But their first visual appearance of my version was sometime in 2015, i think, for the Island magazine cover posted below. (Trade between baseline humans of some type and the hive men, goods being carried by silk-line to the great dyson tree...)
The first tale of the hive men i made (second ever story on my patreon) was drawn in 2017, and covers a dyson-tree habitat (in this case, grown around the comet hale-bopp) encountering a voracious organism of the void:
The latest story of the hive-men, drawn in 2021, is about an interloper earthman, a deserter from an invading army, who has found a new living among the martian hive-people, in a story called "A Portrait of the Artist as Hive Parasite" (colored by my longterm collaborator, Sergey Nazarov - without him i would wither and perish)
These stories can be found on my patreon, and they'll also be showing up in print (at some point, probably next year) once I get my next short story collection sorted. Hell, they'll probably end up online on webtoons soon enough, too!

Hi! I love your work honey 💞 I was wondering if you know any sci fi sterek aus? Thanks, have a nice day! 😁
Hey! 🩷 Yes, I do! There are a few Star Wars ones here and a whole bunch more here. Also, maybe this one that I love to pieces!
These are all AMAZING and you should read them all!! 🥰
the ring of the ancestors is not a euphemism by kellifer_fic | 10.6K
Stiles hadn’t noticed the way the entire commissary had gone silent when the guy had approached his table, or the two military escorts that had been flanking him, looking at each other like maybe they should be intervening but weren’t sure how. All he saw was someone stealing the last dessert from him and Stiles didn’t think about it, he just reached across the table and snatched it back with a, “What the hell, dude?”
Faint is a medical term by kellifer_fic | 17.5K
The continuing adventures of Botanist Doctor Stiles Stilinski and his alien werewolf boyfriend.
In Other Words, Baby, Kiss Me by primroseshows | 61.2K | Explicit
Stiles has simple goals in life. To successfully complete his secret radar project without getting fired, to get a cottage on the Moon, and to untangle his mess of feelings for Moon Station 3 deputy, Derek Hale. Heck, he’ll even settle for two of the three.
When Life Hands You Werewolves by uraneia | 4.6K
A month ago John’s team rescued a former runner named Derek Hale. He’s great to have on offworld missions–he’s like a danger magnet; nobody else gets so much as a splinter. But there’s just something different about him. John can’t quite put his finger on it….
Calling Home by alchemy | 5.6K
“Send me up a drink,” jokes Major Hale. The count goes on.
A Wildness Warily Awakened by Etharei | 64.5K | Explicit
Derek Hale and his Specialized Combat Agents Unit are assigned to B-CON Base, a research facility in the heart of the lone human settlement on planet Cali. Normally, such an isolated place would not warrant the presence of Specs - the Infection is raging across the known galaxy, after all, and zombies don’t kill themselves (unless there are no tastier alternatives at hand) - but Derek is on a private hunt for his sister. He soon discovers that the rest of his team have ties to the place as well.
It’s all just coincidence, of course. (No matter what Stiles bleats on about those.)
Also, zombies.
Show You What All That Howl Is For by skoosiepants | 14.6K
“This is a terrible idea,” Stiles tells the room again. “You’ll all be sorry when Derek pushes me off a cliff.”

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Leonard Nimoy guest stars in "The Shipwreck," episode 30 of the first season of Sea Hunt (original air date August 2, 1958).
Nimoy plays one of a trio of shipwreck survivors Lloyd Bridges picks up in his life raft when he's stranded in a storm after a scuba diving accident. The four refugees struggle to stay alive for a week until they come within swimming distance of land.
Nimoy's hair is really giving Conrad Veidt in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari in this one.
Other Trek connections: Dick Dial was Lloyd Bridges's stunt double on Sea Hunt, and he doubled for William Shatner several times on Star Trek. He also played a number of small, uncredited background roles on the latter series, such as Security personnel in "And the Children Shall Lead" and "The Apple" (far left in both images).
This is the last post I have in the tank. All the images and video files I have to make more are on a PC that gave up the ghost, and may or may not be able to be fixed. I'm using a borrowed laptop right now. I hope I'll be able to get back to this series soon, because I've had more fun doing it than I've had in a long time. It's been especially interesting learning how much more of a small town Hollywood was in the 1960s.

2023 Reading Wrap-Up
Is it February of 2024? Yes! Am I still going to post my favorite books that I read in 2023? Also yes!
Ginn Hale's Cadeleonian Series, the second half of which I read in 2023: Champion of the Scarlet Wolf, Book Two; Master of Restless Shadows, Book One; and Master of Restless Shadows, Book Two
This series begins with Lord of the White Hell and continues with Champion of the Scarlet Wolf, then concludes with Master of Restless Shadows. Each duology follows a different set of characters, but it's a true series so you need to read them in order. It's a toss-up for me whether I preferred Champion of the Scarlet Wolf or Master of Restless Shadows. Both are fantastic duologies. I particularly loved getting Atreau's story in Master because he's sort of an unlikable playboy-esque character in the preceding books...but wait! Turns out there's more to him after all.
After Francesco by Brian Malloy
Who would think a book about living through the AIDS epidemic in NYC in the 80s would be as funny as this book is? It will also tear your heart out and stomp on it. Also takes place partly in Minneapolis (and is by a Minnesotan author).
Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh
Folklorist meets the Green Man and they fall in love. This is the first half of a duology, the second being Drowned Country, which I just finished today so can't included it on my 2023 wrap-up. All the dark and violent whimsy of the mythic past and the most brutal versions of fairy tales, plus a lovely romance.
Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
Imagine the love child of Lost, Person of Interest, and Battlestar Galactica, but queer and with multiverse shenanigans thrown in (the author has cited Ender's Game as a huge influence). I don't want to say anything more than that, because I feel strongly that you need to go into this book knowing nothing. The twists and turns are so good, the main trio are wonderful, complicated characters, and the world is super cool.
The Bedlam Stacks by Natasha Pulley
In some ways the most heartbreaking of Pulley's novels. Also probably her most dreamy and magical. It's my least favorite of her books, but my least favorite Natasha Pulley book still ended up on my best of 2023 reading list.
The Half Life of Valery K by Natasha Pulley
This book awakened in me a latent love of Soviet queers. You'll see this book filed under sci-fi by booksellers, but it isn't really—it's historical fiction about a very real nuclear disaster in the USSR that was covered up for decades. Like all of Pulley's books, the characters are deeply complicated and flawed. The pleasure is really in reading the way she tells a story and her beautiful use of language, so even if you're not interested in Soviet nuclear disasters, I absolutely recommend you read this. Also, you'll probably be interested in Soviet nuclear disasters when you're done.
The Lost Future of Pepperharrow by Natasha Pulley
Haha, you thought The Watchmaker of Filigree Street punched you in the chest with feels? Get ready for the sequel, which will have you Curled Into A Sobbing Ball On The Floor™. Join Thaniel Steepleton, Keita Mori, and their adopted Waifish Victorian Orphan, Six, as they go to Japan, where things are weird, there are ghosts, and Thaniel and Mori still somehow don't understand what they mean to each other.
The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley
"What if France won the Napoleonic Wars because of time travelers" shouldn't have shattered me the way this book did, but of course it's a Natasha Pulley novel so it absolutely did. Missouri Kite is the most Gay Little Man™. And Joe, poor Joe. The PINING. The YEARNING. When the reveal happens, I had to go back and read prior sections of the book and good god do they hit different. Different and SADDER. This book is my favorite of Natasha Pulley's novels.
Tommy Cabot Was Here and Peter Cabot Gets Lost by Cat Sebastian
The first two books in Cat Sebastian's The Cabots series. The books are historical fiction that follow various queer men in the Cabot family. The Cabots are one of those old money, liberal New England families—think Kennedys. Both books are about Sad Gay Men™ finding love in soft, tiptoeing Cat Sebastian fashion. Peter Cabot is a road trip romance and a bit longer, so the characters have some time to breathe.
Something Wild & Wonderful by Anita Kelly
This was probably a Stucky fic at one point, right? I mean. No shade though, truly! This was my favorite romcom that I read in 2023. It was also a comp for Strangers to Husbands, haha. I love the setting—hiking the Pacific Crest Trail—and I love the main characters, Alexei and Ben. Alexei came out to his family recently and got rejected, while Ben is from a big, accepting Portuguese family. Funny, touching, and an excellent love story.
Cattle Stop by Kit Oliver
Looks like a romcom but will stab you in the heart repeatedly. Kit Oliver has a gorgeous way with words and captures the dynamic between two people who have no idea how to talk to each other so well. I'm also a sucker for farm settings.
The Sugared Game and Subtle Blood by KJ Charles (The Will Darling Adventures)
I've read almost all of KJ Charles's books at this point, but the Will Darling Adventures are my favorites (I read the first book in the series in 2022). I love the combination of romance and action/adventure. I've never met a m/m book set in the interwar period that I haven't loved. Will and Kim are wonderful characters, and sometimes I think about what other adventures they had after book three ended.
Honeytrap by Aster Glenn Gray
An FBI agent and a GRU agent get assigned to work a case together in 1959 and they fall in looooove. There's a road trip, a family dinner, and FEELS. I'm not sure I've ever had a time skip hit me in the gut so hard. Remember how I said I love Soviet queers? Here's another example.
Wranglestone and Timberdark by Darren Charlton
What if the real dystopia isn't the zombie apocalypse, but "normal" life? I don't know if I've ever read a YA series that sucker-punched me as hard as this one. I know I've never read a zombie book that sucker-punched me as hard as this one. I don't think these books have even been published in the US (only in the UK), but if you can get your hands on them, they're worth it. Really beautifully written in a style that evokes the emptiness of the great national parks of the American west.
Honorable mentions:
The Charioteer by Mary Renault
The Scottish Boy by Alex de Campi
A Power Unbound by Freya Marske

On May 16, 2002, Star Wars episode II the Clone Wars was released. It was the 5th Star Wars movie and the 2nd of the prequels to be released. Originally, creator George Lucas had planned to write and direct Episode I and then do the story for Episodes II and III as he had done for Episodes V and VI, but after fan pushback on the first prequel, he chose to script and direct II and III. The story was moved forward 10 years from the last instalment. The instalment began the Clone Wars that was referenced in Star Wars episode IV A New Hope. It saw the beginning of the romance of Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and Padme (Natalie Portman) upto their marriage. It introduced the fallen Jedi Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus (Christopher Lee). Anakin learned that his mother had married Cliegg Lars (Jack Thompson) and met his step-brother Owen Lars (Joel Edgerton) and his fiance Beru (Bonnie Piesse). It saw the death of Anakin's mother Shmi (Pernilla August), who was killed by Tusken Raiders. It Introduced Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison) the source of the clones including his clone son Boba Fett (Daniel Logan). In the Galatic Senate, Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best) opened the vote to give Chancelor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) emergency powers, which opened the door for him to eventually become the Emperor. ("Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones", Movie, Event)
