Holiday Wishes 2025

Hi everyone. I'm Becky, and I've forgotten how many years I've been participating. This is my most favorite time of the year, both on LJ and in real life. I live in Central NY with my adoptive 'mom,' Mama Melissa, her mom and my fiance Pookie. (I use their petname online for privacy reasons) I'm disabled, so I can't work.

First off, I hope everyone is safe and healthy this year.

1. ANYTHING off my Amazon Wish List. This is the link to my 'Holiday Wishes 2025' list, and then some sub-lists; a list of computer books I want, a list of writing books and a list of general Kindle Books I want.

2. More readers/followers for my books I'm an aspiring author, so I'd like more followers for my blog/readers for my books. My Author blog is at
https://authordaisyloveless.blogspot.com/
And from there you can find the links to my books on the 'My Books' page. All are in Kindle Unlimited, if that is more your thing!

3. More Facebook/Instagram followers Besides writing, I blog as a hobby, doing food reviews. I do share personal pics as well on Instagram, so it’s not all food. I’d love to get some more followers!
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/missbeckyannsfoodblog/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missbeckyann6879/

4. Gift Cards/E-certificates Subway, Walmart or amazon.com would ROCK my socks. We do most of our Non-food shopping at Amazon. We use Walmart a LOT for groceries, and Subway is the only restaurant near us that delivers.

5. AUTHENTIC Asian Ramen noodles In the past year, I've branched out through gifts, but I want to branch out more. Would prefer savory, but not super spicy. Nongshim Kimchi noodles (or jalapeno peppers) are about the spiciest I can handle. Please check the above wishlist to get a more accurate idea of my spice tolerance.
(Absolutely NO Buldak flavors, please… the spice level leaves me looking like I just had an ‘Ugly Cry’ session)

6. Coffee/coffee creamers I am ADDICTED to these! Flavored is a plus, fave flavors being Cinnamon, Hazlenut, Pumpkin Spice, Peppermint and Irish Creme. Instant coffee is a MAJOR plus. We do have a knockoff Keurig, so K-Cups are cool, too!

7. Lip Balms I’m not good with makeup, but I’m addicted to lip balm. I prefer flavored and/or tinted. I have some on the wishlist above, if you want to get ideas of flavors.

8. Nail stickers/wraps This is the ONLY way I can do my nails. I can’t afford a salon set, and I shake too much for traditional liquid nail polish (plus it bothers Mama Melissa’s asthma). I know the Jamberry company went under, but surely someone still has a stash floating around. If you do and you’re looking to unload some (or all) of your old stock, I will HAPPILY take them! (I’ll also take Lily And Fox or Dashing Diva brands, since they are the same thing, just different brands)

9. Stickers! I’ve developed a thing for stickers, like the kind you’d put on water bottles, skateboards, laptops, etc. Would love to get more to add to my collection!

10. Be Kind to one another There’s so much hate in the world… even a kind word to a stranger could make their day better.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Season's greetings

First of all, happy holidays! I wish the best of this season to all of you.

I'm no good at this kind of thing and I'm certainly gonna get anxious after but here we go.

My wishlist:

1. Check my fandoms list at SquidgeWorld and watch/read/play the media from a fandom that caught your eye! That'd be enough for me.

2. Create something, anything and post it wherever you want. It may sound silly but in a world following the road to automated "art" (and everything else) anything made by hand is precious and shouldn't be left forgotten.

3. Join any writing communities here on Dreamwidth!

4. Create one fanwork for [community profile] smallfandomfest!

5. Book recommendations for a 12 yo that's into sports and wants to develop a reading habit.

6. Recently, my mother has been taking a lot of stray cats in her care, feeding them and taking care of a couple kittens, so if you so have it in your heart, an Amazon gift card could help her getting food and other items for them. She and the cats would be very grateful! And if that's not possible (since I don't know how that works because differences in countries and stuff):

7. Donate to your local animal shelter! ❤️

8. Here's my Amazon wishlist (MX), MOSTLY wants and just for fun.

9. World peace.

10. Last but not least, give your pets lots of love. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for reading.

Fannish 50 Challenge 2025: Post # 40: Hockey Fandom and Dog Fandom

My local AHL team -- the Chicago Wolves -- has again this year as previously provided and served a Thanksgiving meal of turkey and other treats to the shelter dogs of Border Tails Rescue in Northbrook, Illinois, a no-kill shelter with a spay-and-neuter program that specializes in rescuing and rehoming stray dogs from Mexico (they also take in owner surrenders from Chicagoland).

Harleigh Garcia, founder of Border Tails Rescue, said “We are so excited to have the Wolves again this year to help us celebrate the holidays and bring something special to the dogs. It’s not ideal for these dogs to be spending their holidays in the shelter. We’d love for them to all find homes, but that’s just not possible right now, so it’s nice to bring them a little something special, and we love partnering with the Wolves.”

To learn more about Border Tails Rescue, click here. They have many volunteer opportunities and especially are looking for tourists returning from Mexico who are willing to be "flight volunteers" at no cost to themselves for escorting Mexican stray dogs to the U.S.

The picture below is Chicago Wolves Hockey players Nikita Pavlychev, Braden Doyle, Blake Biondi, Skyler Brind’Amour, Bryce Montgomery and Yanick Turcotte with some of the dogs they treated to this special Thanksgiving meal.

Wednesday Reading Meme

What I Just Finished Reading: Since last Wednesday I have read/finished reading: Nothing. A lot of fanfic. But I did DNF a book (see below).


What I am Currently Reading: Dogged Pursuit (Andy Carpenter Series) by David Rosenfelt.


What I Plan to Read Next: I have two books waiting for me at the library, so one of those.




DNF: Guardian of the Horizon (An Amelia Peabody Mystery) (Elizabeth Peters)

I didn’t so much DNF this book as DNS (Did Not Start) it. I recently learned that this author wrote stories from the ‘lost season’. (The time between the books.) I was not pleased with that information because I do not want to go backwards and I hoped that this next book in the series (which I had already requested from the libarary) was not one of those ‘lost season’ books. Dear reader, I hoped in vain. more back here )

The Goodreads description does include the information that the book is from the ‘lost season’; I wish I’d know about these books so I could have read them in the proper ‘order’ time-wise (rather than publication-wise). But you can, if you’re just getting into the series! Thankfully not all of the books in the rest of the series are from a ‘lost season’, so I have requested the book after this one from the library.

The Day in Spikedluv (Tuesday, Nov 25)

We were up early again because Pip had a coughing fit and couldn’t get back to sleep: 4:10am. I did not want to get up early again, and yet. At least it gave me more time to get stuff done.

I hit Price Chopper while I was downtown and stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts (because mom wants to take a treat to the clinic today, her second-to-last day!!).

I drove mom to her appointment, hand-washed dishes, emptied the dishwasher and ran another load, went for a couple walks with Pip and the dogs, baked chicken for the dogs’ meals, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter. I also made banana bread! One loaf is for Thanksgiving, one is for Sister A’s b-day, and the other is for us to enjoy! We had baked haddock for supper and still-warm banana bread was my evening snack.

Started a new Andy Carpenter book! Walt Disney's Animal Kingdom (or whatever it's called these days) was my evening background tv.

Temps started out at 32.7(F) and reached 50.0. It was overcast all day.


ETA: I forgot to mention the new developments in the Pumpkin Pie Fiasco! cutting for length )


Mom Update:

Mom was not feeling well again. more back here )

Just One Thing (26 November 2025)

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

REC: Untitled Fix-It Comic by pim (Panfandom Meta)

Fandom 50 #30

Untitled Fix-It Comic by [tumblr.com profile] yeehawpim
Fandom: Panfandom, Doctor Who, Avengers, Sherlock
Medium: Comic
Length: 6 pages
Rating: SFW
My Bookmark Tags: drama, happy ending, au: canon divergence, writing

Description:
A black-and-white cartoon comic follows its creator from their teenage years reading fic in a classroom, through glimpses of canon moments from Doctor Who, The Avengers, and Sherlock, to the experiences of other fans and back to the now-older creator as they muse on their changing opinion of fix-it fic.

Transcript of Comic Text )

Yeah, this got me. I'm a sucker for a good fix-it fic, and it's a storytelling impulse that I feel warmly about in general. I've especially been thinking about this topic lately—and some of the related canon moments—thanks to a bit that hit home in [youtube.com profile] JessieGender1's recent Star Trek Strange New Worlds Is a Centrist Space Fantasy video essay that talked about the storytelling worldviews in which change requires a body count and about the narrative incorporation of ungrievable lives. (Two recs for the price of one in this post!)

This comic is sweet and touching, with great pacing and choice of visuals. I especially love the spot where we see darkness giving way to light and the shots of people writing. It gave me some fuzzy feelings about fandom and encouraged me to open back up a fix-it draft of my own.

My students were testing me today

It was an easy open study lab today and they were playing music when one of them pipes up, do you like music Doctor Evans?

Yes, I love music. Feel free to play it.

Girl from the back. Did you listen to Jacob Sartorius? (her table had suggested it last week when they were using him to remember the sartorius thigh muscle)

Yes, I liked it.

What did you listen to?

Ladies it's been a week, I don't remember.

Guy from the front - Do you like rap?

Me - it's not my favorite genre but I listen to some of it.

WHO?!?

Me - Oh, they're all old now. Run DMC, Will Smith when he was the Fresh Prince, Sir Mix-a-lot, Tone Loc

Guy from the front - do you like Nas?

Me - I've not really heard his stuff but I like Little Nas X

Them- holding up phone, what's this one? (obviously thinking Doc Dana is trying to be the cool prof who knows music)

two notes

me - Old Town Road, Little Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus

they start giggling. loudly.

The phone goes up. More music.

Me -three seconds in, Get Jiggy with it, Will Smith

More giggling.

Them - Dance

Me - Just play your music.

They weren't sure if it was a dare or not so the phone went away.


We had some of the other testing too. It's week 15 of 16 after all. Can't I have extra extra credit. No.

I NEED to pass this class to graduate. Can't I have a D? I'm desperate. 1. that's not passing 2. You have a 38%. No. I mean you'd have to sacrifice to the elder gods to pass at this point.


Let's hit the fannish fun for fannish 50 For one, sharing this again because Blake and this song hit the Billboard top 100 (at 98 but my god it's less than 3 minutes) Also move over Jessica Rabbit, another animated lounge singer is after your crown




Finally getting my thoughts out on the last two Hazbin episodes. Spoilers abound and outside of the above song all the clips and songs are NSFW )

Today's word is brought to you by the shipping and transporting industry!  Because nothing says, "Happy Holidays" like the memory of dozens of shipping containers tipping into the harbor.

Stevedore:
  1. (noun)  One who works at or is responsible for loading and unloading ships in port
  2. (verb)  To handle (to load or unload) cargo as a stevedore
Per our friends at Merriam-Webster, "stevedore" came to English from the Spanish "estibador" which came from "estibar" meaning "to pack".  The first known use of "stevedore" in English was in 1788.

Two Things

1. xkcd just made me cry (continuation of the cancer posts, which no one involved currently has.)

2. Mom gave me a ball of really pretty white yarn, which is wool with a bit of a halo, and maybe sport weight? Could be finger weight? Unsure? It's large enough to make a scarf, and I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a pattern that's: a) VERY EASY, b) maybe has a little bit of lace? I can do very basic lace, as long as it doesn't have too many steps.

Tuesday: Friends

Hey, everyone! I’m templefugate, your host for the week, and I'm here this week to give you some prompts to be thankful for.

As a reminder, we are using a new posting schedule. Sundays are for Lonely Prompts and sharing the fills that you completed during the week, Tuesdays and Thursdays are for new themes and prompts, and Saturdays will remain a Free for All.

Today's theme is friends. Prompts should feature and focus on friendship.

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ DC, Teen Titans ensemble, Friendsgiving
+ Arcane, Silco & Singed, mutual favors
+ Any, any, characters not becoming lovers so they don't ruin their friendship

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.

While the use of LJ's advanced search options is available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

If you are viewing this post on our Dreamwidth site, please know that fills posted here will not show up as comments on our LiveJournal site but you are still more than welcome to participate.

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word! [community profile] comment_fic
