Last time out, Billy confronted the Weird, who looks like the corpse of his father making a o_O face.

Billy’s mom notices he’s gone from the backyard, but it’s the Eighties, so she assumes he’s just roaming around the neighborhood. Or maybe she assumes a supervillain kidnapped him, just to put a capper on the week of her husband’s death and his corpse getting vaporized. She’s not doing okay!

This WOULD have been around the time Skyhook was kidnapping kids in Metropolis. Stranger danger! )

Thanksgiving

Bah. It looks like Aldi isn't going to have the holiday ravioli that I've been having for Thanksgiving the last few years (these two for those curious), as it should be in stock by now if they were going to get it.

I'm going to have to figure out what I want to do for my Thanksgiving dinner this year, as I'd been assuming it would show up eventually like it has in the past. I don't have it in my budget to do anything super fancy, but it will be nice to try to have something a little out of the ordinary just to remind myself that it's a holiday in the first place.

I get paid next Thursday, 11/20, and I'm working in the office the following Monday and Tuesday (ie, the week of Thanksgiving). I think that I'm going to go to Aldi during my lunch break that Monday before Thanksgiving and see if I can find something that looks yummy but is out of the ordinary for me. And then I can get some cheap beer or wine (depending on what I end up getting food-wise) to go with it as a small splurge.

Dear Holly Poly Creator(s),

Just to note: this year's requests include Baldur's Gate, Black Ships by Jo Graham, Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Related Fandoms, Critical Role: Exandria, Doctor Who, Dragon Age, Gargoyles, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Mass Effect, and Star Wars.

My AO3 account is Settiai.


First of all, relax! I'm far from being picky, and I can pretty much guarantee that I'll love whatever you decide to write me. These are nothing but guidelines, for you to take to heart or ignore to your heart's content. Also, hey! You're creating a fanwork for me! About a poly relationship that I love! That's automatically a good reason for me to love you, no matter what. So, please, keep that in mind. Trust me, you can pretty much do no wrong. ♥

That said, I thought that I'd elaborate a bit on my requests and provide some general prompts in case, like me, you're the type of person who likes to have something to work with. If you're not that type of person, it's totally fine with me if you skip over anything/everything that I've included in this letter. Feel free to use and/or ignore as much of this as you want.

There's no way any of this is in the tag system, so just enjoy a sequence of pretty art and taut suspense from an old-fashioned Western.

I wasn’t sure whether to include this one, or quite where to put it. It’s from mid-1988, but it includes a mostly earlier lineup of Justice Leaguers. And it has a droll, JLI-ish sense of humor, but in the end, the JLI and Superman are secondary players. The Weird is the hero of his own life, and that life attains more meaning from its brevity.

If only we could say the same for his 152-page STORY. This abbreviated form may be a better reading experience. )

Critical Role: Campaign 4, Episode 6

Note to self: definitely try to take a 2-3 hour nap after work on Thursdays if you're planning on staying up to watch Critical Role. It makes such a huge difference.

As with previous posts about the current campaign of Critical Role, this will be a combination of quotes, random thoughts, and some speculation. And it's obviously full of spoilers (albeit vague ones in places).

Spoilers under the cut. )

That was such a good episode. They're finally starting to properly feel like a team of some type, even if they're still a mess.

Not much Lesla fanservice this issue, but we do get a Superfamily Thanksgiving spread.

I was panicking a bit the other day when I realized by library card has expired, but it turned out there's an online form to renew it for a year! (I was mostly worried about making sure I could keep the same number)

To Embers We Return continues to be really good and I'm really loving Dragon Subjugation Incantation (both translations updated recently)!

My copy of The Beauty's Blade also arrived yesterday! When I'd checked the tracking number a few days ago the ETA was the 17th, so it was a nice surprise. It looks like it's been selling well from various retailers' best seller subgenre charts, so hopefully they'll be publisher interest in licensing more.

I've also started volume 1 of Thrice Married to a Salted Fish. I like it so far, but I feel like QJJ has spoiled me a bit w/r/t female characters in danmei novels.

D&D, Video Games, and a Lack Thereof

I took a nap after work so that I'd be able to stay up for D&D tonight, only to wake up from said nap to find out that the game had been cancelled at the last minute. Oops? At least I'm well-rested even if the reason for it isn't happening anymore.

My plan was then going to be to play Mass Effect: Andromeda, but my game doesn't want to load and a bunch of files apparently need re-downloaded to fix it. So I figured that I'd try playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard... only to get the same error message. Thank you, EA, for continually having this issue. I appreciate it so much. Really.🖕🏻

(I have all of the BioWare games through Steam, but they still have to load through the EA app first because EA as a company sucks. And the EA app is a horrible piece of crap that stops working if you look at it wrong, which then leads to files getting corrupted and having to be redownloaded constantly. It's, unfortunately, a common issue.)

Since the universe clearly doesn't want me to play anything tonight, I said "fuck it" and am reading some fanfiction from my Marked for Later list on the AO3 instead. Maybe next time, huh?

In the film Apocalpyse Now, war is hell and hella confusing. There’s one clear objective centered on one person, but otherwise, most of the violence is almost random: the protagonists never get enough information to form a meaningful strategy. The second part of this arc, “Apokalips…Wow!!” is pretty much same.

Before that, though, we get an even more unlikely film reference, Ty Templeton tagging in on the finished art, and Manga Khan at his most ambitious and formidable.

A year ago around now or a bit earlier or later Kevin was probably telling me he was going to take a nap. I was distracted and hyperfocused on projects all day. I probably should've checked on him sooner when he didn't come upstairs to make supper.

I thought about waking him up to show him a graphic I worked on. God I posted a ton on November 11, 2024 I was posting thread after thread on Bluesky about things. (sigh.)

if i make it through this day i will have made it a year without him and that seems fake and like it should not be a thing.
