My grandmother passed yesterday morning. She's the last remaining of my grandparents. While dementia did claim all of her a year past, I guess it still hit me. I'll probably be a bit less responsive on here for a while.

I stumbled across this well-spell-crafted game whilst wondering around itch.io: The Daily Spell, a story about a sudden surge in magical beast manifestations in a fantasy city, told through daily word puzzles that resolve into the headlines of brief newspaper articles that advance the story. Quite delightful and very well done.

Sharing a few gems that I've loved from the

ficinabox exchange. All creators are still anonymous!

Fandom: DC Comics
Fanwork type: art
Pairings/Characters: Diana
Rating and/or Content Warnings: SFW (but a bit suggestive)
Links: we can get a little restless
Summary:

Diana and a beautiful evening.

Reccer's Notes: Really vibrant, colourful style! A pin-up style pose, fabulously flirty.

Fandom: Andor (TV)
Fanwork type: fic
Pairings/Characters: Kleya Marki/Vel Sartha
Rating and/or Content Warnings: M
Links: the whisperings and the champagnes and the stars
Summary:

“That’s not what this is.” There is something about this, about all of this situation - the light, the faint jasmine lift of the scent Vel’s wearing, the casual, careless wealth - that Kleya cannot stand.

“You don’t like me and you can’t stand knowing you’re capable of being that petty. That’s exactly what this is.”

And that’s too much. “As I said, it's valuable work. Sorry you’re struggling with the burden of seducing rich socialites or whatever it is you’re doing but at least the catering’s good, right?”

The Aldhani mission fails. Vel blinks out of Kleya's life - only to reappear at a party six months later.

Reccer's Notes: This is outstanding, and pulls no punches! Excellent dialogue and characterization, and smolderingly hot but spiky chemistry between them.

Fandom: Original Work
Fanwork type: art, board game reskin, plushie pattern
Pairings/Characters: Fairy Queen/Young Woman Who Unwittingly Entered Her Realm
Rating and/or Content Warnings: G
Links: the Fairy and the Human
Summary:

There are legends about the fairy realm. Tales of wonder and the tales to scare children from the forest, where the entrance to the magical kingdom is supposed to be located.

Some believe in those tales; some don't, but no human dares to seek the truth and enter the fairy realm. Until one day, a woman running away from her past crosses the border and walks into the unknown.

Reccer's Notes: Gorgeous! This link goes to the first chapter which is stunning art of the queen and the young woman, with really lovely composition and beautiful colours and textures. But the creator has also created an entire reskinned board game with fairyland creatures, a cute sticker set, and even a small plushie pattern. I'm overwhelmed by the creativity, so cool!

Last night I discovered that Kiiras had released a Christmas song, called "Kiirasmas." I don't think I'd objectively say it's a good song, but it's still fun to listen to.
Watch on YouTube
A few years ago, I did a K-pop Christmas song Advent calendar. This morning, as I added "Kiirasmas" to my K-pop Christmas playlist, I realized that if I wanted to post the whole playlist one song a day, I'd have had to start back on October 15! ^^
After having to spend 40 minutes listening to the store playing Christmas music while I waited for the pharmacy to fill a prescription. I'd like to say: No matter how Christmas-adjacent some of its lyrics may be, "My Favorite Things" is not a Christmas song. I'm willing to get seriously injured on this hill. However, if it means that I'll hear "The Christmas Song" less often, I'm willing to act like it's a Christmas song.

JLI #16-17 introduced the Queen Bee and her alliance with Jack O’Lantern. In that first appearance, she was all poise and grace. Despite her chilling games of mind control, she also exuded a false warmth that snared lovers and allies and disarmed her enemies.

In her second appearance, the warmth is gone. It’s true what they say: holding high political office ages people before their time.

( But why won’t certain office-holders DIE of old age already? )

Last week while taking out the trash, I noticed that the clouds were low in the sky and really thick and ropey, like a plush carpet. Hurried home to grab the camera as sunset was coming soon and I wanted to be sure I caught the look.

+ Watched Wake Up Dead Man today, and out of the three I can safely say it’s my favorite. The setting, characters, theme, all hit home for me. Honestly one I wouldn’t mind rewatching.

Reactor Mag has an excellent article up on it: Entirely Too Many Thoughts About Wake Up Dead Man.

Btw does anyone want some screengrabs to make icons from uploaded to

capshare? (Not the very best quality possible, but serviceable) If so, specific characters?

Rec-cember Day 17

Gilmore Girls
They Go Just as Quickly as They Come by

petpluto (2,004 words). Richard dies. Emily goes on living.
At first, its emptiness wasn’t as pervasive. She accepted the house, and the stillness.

It hadn’t been so long. Not really. Richard had spent longer away on business trips. The house was empty, but not unfamiliarly so. But there came a time when, if Richard had been away on a business trip, he would have been back from it. And the emptiness pressed in until it is all she can see, all she can feel.

The house is empty.

She doesn’t wander the halls. She doesn’t throw herself at his portrait. She does not have a portrait made. She doesn’t shutter the windows and regress. She doesn’t dress in all black. She isn’t part of some maudlin tale, some piece of fiction Rory and Richard had once fawned over together. She is a graduate of Smith, after all. She still belongs to any number of groups, of charities and clubs and associations. She fills her days, just as she did before.

The house, though, is still empty, when she returns to it.

I decided to tweak how I engage with online life for 2026, and have been busy the last couple weeks trying to get it ready so I can test it before the new year actually starts.

So:
1. Switch back to posting on DW as my main journal (external blog will close)
2. Move website from pixietails.club to tozka.fyi (partly to save money on the domain renewal cost lol)
2b. Website will be more for evergreen content and not so much tracking content. So pages like a list of what I read this year will be deleted from public and kept private instead, but all my tutorials and fanlistings will still be there.
3. Self-host RSS feed reader (done), link collector (done)
4. Set up Obsidian as my personal hub (done). This'll be where I keep my tracking stuff, personal data, whatever.

So basically be a little more private with my info, be more proactive with keeping my own data, and settle back in to the communities I want to engage with.

I liked having my own little blog domain but it felt very exposed, which made me not want to post. Dreamwidth is more cozy! Even if I post in public here, I don't feel like the eyes of the entire internet are on me. Also tbh when I posted from my blog first it didn't give me an incentive to come over here and actually read my friends page, so I've gotten very behind on my correspondence.

Further changes: I want to get away from AI intrusions a bit more, so I've installed Linux on my main computer (Manjaro) and deleted Windows entirely.

And while I've stopped using most social media besides Mastodon, I still visit Facebook a lot for the groups. I'm going to make it a priority to join and engage in forums instead.

Current Music: Blanche - The World I Used to Be Afraid Of

When I order things from Japan and Korea, my goal for managing postage costs is to have the postage cost less than the item, which I'm usually able to manage. Recently one of my friends sent me a package from within the US, for which the postage cost 3x the cost of the item!
