Their Holidays or read at SquidgeWorld (100 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Leverage (US TV 2008)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Alec Hardison/Parker/Eliot Spencer
Characters: Eliot Spencer (Leverage), Parker (Leverage), Alec Hardison
Additional Tags: Drabble
Summary:

They each have their own.






Eliot paid attention to the veteran holidays. He didn't much care for the complex behind it now, having seen all the ways it was abused, but most of those vets had died believing in an impossible dream worth protecting.

Parker, of course, was all about Santa and Christmas. She got to make up for the shitty holidays she'd seen as a kid.

But Hardison? Hardison went all out for Halloween. Decorations, costumes, and enough candy to kill a dentist was his philosophy. No one who showed up left empty handed, not even the parents. He needed them to be happy.

Been catching up on Vampire Princess Miyu as a way to go with the Halloween thing without doing too much about it. Its still haunting, and it has become one of my all-time favorites. I'm hoping to finally finish the series and the OAV which I also watched way back then on VHS.

(In fact, that was the first time I began watching it.)

I'm also watching episodes of Ghost Sweeper Mikami with the same goal of finishing it up as well.

Anyone here also watching Horror/Supernatural themed Anime this month?

Strange critters and plants

oooh let's see what I've wandered over recently in this wondrous world of ours:

Doll's Eyes - I have never seen it in the wild, but I have recognized its use in some creepy movies where the plants seemingly watch people. Honestly, I was glad I stumbled over it in reading things before I ever had a chance to see it in the wild. It's nice and spooky.

The Black Bat Flower is less creepy to me, and more o.O at how it developed. Plants that mimic animal shapes fascinate me. (There's a carrion plant that resembles a sea-star / star fish, for instance).

Bleeding Heart - the first "creepy" flower I ever read about, I think. I think they look fascinating, actually.

and critters:

Dragon Headed Caterpillar - it evolves, as all catties do, but the larval stage is just so CUTE to me.

Flying Snakes - My uncle's worst nightmare, given his deep-seated phobia once led him to sink the boat he was in due to a snake flopping into it with him. I love the idea of these guys just LAUNCHING themselves through the air.

Fossa - the jokes about cats running on dog software (hyena) and dogs running on cat software (foxes), have NOTHING on this critter that is a mongoose-type running on cat software. Very predator, very fierce.

Markhor - but it's just a goat, right? CHECK OUT THOSE HORNS! I had to give my tiefling OC those horns because they are TOO COOL.

Tufted Deer - cute name, right? When's the last time you saw a deer with FANGS?! Seriously, I saw these and started trying to figure out WHY they evolved those.

I hope you enjoyed these!

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Reagan starred in one of DC's highest-profile "graphic novels" of the 1980s, but he could have starred in both. The idea of using Nixon as President didn't occur to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons until some time after Watchmen's initial outline, and there are times when its Nixon is more of a stand-in or proxy for Reagan (Watchmen #8).

cover for dr strange #1 feat angela

The Stephen Strange we saw in Doctor Strange of Asgard was still stinging from the loss of his Sorcerer Supreme status, and his focus was on gaining enough power to return to Earth, give Doctor Doom a bloody nose, and reclaim his title. None of that happened, because just when he’d gained the power, the way home was cut off from him.

The journey he’s on now is a difficult one. He’s still preoccupied with Earth, still feels that urgent need to return to Clea, to deal with his responsibilities there, but now he finds himself dealing with the responsibilities foisted upon him by his title of Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard. He originally sought that power out of a selfish need, so now he has to deal with those ramifications.

[personal profile] senmut
And on to 2009. Totally working for the Evol Empire and I think picking up security shifts to try and make ends meet. Doubt I had much time for movies.

Hmm, four films. Saw a couple others, but they were less memorable.

Fast & Furious - The point when I knew for fact the franchise didn't actually aim for the direction I had seen. Fun, but not my cuppa in the end.

Star Trek - I'd been on the fence, Stuart talked me into it, and the first few minutes were RAD as FUCK! My introduction to Chris Hemsworth. A fun movie, Urban fucking nailed it.

Up - another film where the first few minutes were just phenomenal. Shortest, best love story ever. And then the film kept me loving it.

Where the Wild Things Are - I was never on the fence. I knew I was going to see it. I had no idea how much it was going to tear into my childhood trauma and issues, but it did it the best way possible.

Summary:

After the Zygons, Jack has a conundrum






Escaping the latest Zygon impersonation had been hard enough, Jack decided, but now he had a conundrum.

It looked at him with its tail sticking up like the antenna of a bumper car and meowed at him with the most pitiful squeak ever.

"I saved you this time. What if you're a Zygon in disguise? Hmm? Or just if you wander into my life all the time, you're going to get hurt, or worse!" Jack admonished.

Another squeaky meow, and Jack tucked the kitten in his coat pocket again, adding a stop at the local shop to his must do.

Oh no, I have become one of those people who only uses their DW for yuletide letters. :( Maybe this year I will make an effort to get back to journaling.

Anyway for now this is just a quick and dirty paste of my signup before signups close; I will come back and clean it up soon I hope. Until then: I have no general DNWs and a few fandom-specific ones are in the signup. I like all kinds of fic, I like crossovers, I am one of those annoying people who really truly does just want anything at all for their small fandoms. the fandom:yuletide tag on my journal has a lot of previous letters and things; feel free to mine that for general likes and other fandoms to crossover with.
