bsky.app/profile/amul... answers the age-old question: would you still love me if I were a zombie? Grief and love will make you do the darndest things. The blend of horror and humour feels very in keeping with the film and makes for a fun gross read.

A photo of a slightly open sewer cover. White text over the image reads:

Feed Me, Richie!
Dr_Amuly
M, 20k, IT, Richie/Eddie

Richie awoke with a jolt, fight-or-flight instincts kicked into overdrive, heart pounding in his chest like it was going to pop. He scrambled in confusion, not sure where he was, not sure who he was, fumbling around for his glasses on a nightstand that wasn’t his in a frantic attempt to bring the world around him into focus. When he finally slipped them on, the crack in the left lens brought the memories crashing back over him. He was in Derry. He’d lost Eddie. And he was on a shitty mattress, holding Eddie’s sweatpants, wearing Eddie’s hoodie.

And Eddie was standing in his hotel room.

Or, the one where Eddie comes back as a zombie and Richie falls hard into that "Little Shop of Horrors" lifestyle.

many LGBTQ stickers laid next to each other, most of them black and white. they read things like "aren't you glad to be a pansy?" and "i am gay and must create". there are zines among the stickers as well, one printed on blue paper. the zines are about poetry and hormone replacement therapy.

ATEEZ' Jeong Yunho - a collage of his most recent comeback looks from the In Your Fantasy MV with vampire features added in. He has fangs, red eyes and pointed vampy ears. In the background is a goth-y stained glass window. Everything stained in hues of red and purples.

I looove a dragon and @annievi.bsky.social has created some awesome dragon worldbuilding in this fic. The portrayal of Jeongguk's disability is also very well-researched and there's been clear consideration of how he navigates the world that has been created.

archiveofourown.org/works/59354596

Black reptilian scales wreathed in flame. White text over the image reads:

A Shadow Tilts Its Head
annie_vi
E, 189k, BTS, Jimin/Jungkook

The stars are a playground for the mighty dragon, its fire a supernova mosaic, its wings a light breeze from the mountains—or so the saying goes in Yongjeoju.

Jeon Jeongguk, blind and cursed from birth but marked as a dragon rider for the kingdom, has struggled for years to bond with a dragon from the Balam Range - until he crosses paths with a rogue dragon outside of the dragon king's watchful eye, and the bond is instantaneous. Suddenly, Jeongguk finds himself as the outlier with a dragon who only plays nice for his rider's sake. Because Park Jimin, secret dragon shifter who chose Jeongguk as his bonded rider, is not one to play by the rules.

As the bond between dragon and rider strengthens, whispers of the kingdom's necromancer returning begin spreading like wildfire as dragons and wyverns alike are slain for their hearts, thrusting Jeongguk into a tumultuous world of shadows and secrets about his very existence that he never could have anticipated.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

So lemme get this right... Under 16s won't be able to use YouTube (or perhaps Wikipedia), but 4chan is OK. And this is all for Children's Safety. Gotcha.

4chan unlikely to be included in Australia’s under-16s social media ban, eSafety commissioner says

Julie Inman Grant says message board will need to comply with other codes which will also include age assurance for sites hosting violent and adult content * Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The eSafety commissioner is not expected to block children from accessing 4chan as part of the under-16s social media ban, despite it being labelled one of the “darker” places on the internet. The eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, was asked by independent senator Fatima Payman in Senate estimates on Wednesday night whether 4chan, the message board often referred to as the engine room of the internet, would be considered one of the sites required to prevent under-16s when the social media ban comes into effect from 10 December.

Wrote a whole essay on feminist themes in Jane Eyre and Ulysses the night before it was due, having read neither book and relying entirely on journal articles about the books instead. Got a first (equivalent of an A). GenAI probably could tbh but it's way more impressive that I did.

Dane 🔜 NYCC AA L-34 @monkeyminion.com · 2d

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.

@lesbianlazerowl.bsky.social writes a truly rare pair in Jiang Cheng and Wen Ning and writes them convincingly. To me, this fic is about family, grief, and reclaiming your body and identity after trauma. It also has very cool fierce corpse biology speculations.

archiveofourown.org/works/31358519

A photo of Wen Ning from the TV show The Untamed. He has long black hair, entirely black eyes, and pale blueish-grey skin with black veins running up his neck. White mist creeps up from the bottom of the image, and black text over the mist reads:

Normal, Healthy, Dead Guy Stuff
LesbianlazerOwl
E, 103k, The Untamed, Jiang Cheng/Wen Ning

Wen Ning is very dead, so was not expecting a late-in-life crisis of sexuality. Because dead. Even worse, it's aimed directly at Wei-gongzi's spiky, mean shi-di, and he goes to ALL of same the parent-teacher-club (PTA) meetings.

Avoiding the man is impossible; Wen Ning is not going to miss out on what's left of A-Yuan's childhood because of some stupid crush.

Or: Wen Ning and Jiang Cheng uncle anxiously in one another's direction until they actually sort-of like each other. And then more than sort-of.
