pennyarcade_feedHere is the second Child's Play Strip! We decided to go diegetic wit it.
pennyarcade_feedIt No So Good
Mar. 18th, 2026 07:30 pmpennyarcade_feedEnough time has passed since the initial DLSS5 detonation for us to have passed through the initial response (bad) to a coalition of contrarians, much-smarter-than-yous, and engineers who feel slighted by proxy. Digital Foundry most affected - you could have toasted marshmallows over their subreddit. They praised it like crazy and were subsequently exposed to solar heat, to the extent that they had to post a video called "We Should Have Waited," and now proponents of the technology are mad at them for that. Ah, yes. I remember the Internet.

Summary: Without Lady Catherine's interference, a family catastrophe throws Darcy and Elizabeth down wildly different paths.
Reccer's Notes: This series is very much Darcy/Elizabeth, but they spend a lot of it going down separate paths. And on those separate paths, their closest relationships are with their siblings--Darcy and Georgiana, Jane and Elizabeth. I love the care that is taken with all of the different relationships in this story.

Reccer's Notes: Bucky has four younger siblings, and in 2015 they are elderly, crotchety, and determined to go see Steve Rogers. Getting there is an ordeal, and what they find there is a surprise. I love the way the characters are so well-drawn and realistic, and I love the humor.

Mar. 17th, 2026 08:05 pmtorachan1. Yesterday morning when I got back from my walk, I somehow lost the top to my airpods' outer case. It had to have fallen out either on the porch or inside the house, because it's very noticeable without it so it could only have been right after I put them back in my pocket after putting them in the case. I looked around a little but had to go to work, and Carla looked some more during the day and didn't find it, so I ordered a new case, which came today and I really love it. For one thing, the top is attached! I really like the variety of colors, so I ordered another one for my backup pair, and for Carla's ones as well. Right after that, Carla found the top to the old case in the living room in a tangle of power cords lol. But these new ones are cheap and I really do prefer the attached top. The one I thought I lost was a Star Wars Pride one from Disneyland, so I'll still use it seasonally (I also have a Mickey Halloween one).
2. I got my haircut today. Carla had an appointment, too, so it took longer than when it's just me and I didn't feel like going to Gardena just for a little bit in the afternoon, so I just worked from home the rest of the day. It was just web meetings in the afternoon anyway.
3. This morning when I got up, my PC would not turn on. The power cord is one of those that has a light showing when it's plugged in, so I could tell it was still getting power and that wasn't the problem. I thought maybe it was stuck in an update or something, so I went for my walk, but when I came back it still wouldn't turn on. I decided to unplug it from the power strip while I ate breakfast and then it finally came back on again! I really should do a backup of my files just in case...
4. Few things are cuter than cats covering their face coyly.

Tag change for the Hulu Pilot - on the Sunnydale Digest on tumblr
Mar. 17th, 2026 06:53 pmburnhername posting in su_heraldWe have changed our tag for the Hulu Sequel that was not picked up, which was named New Sunnydale. Previously the tag was "Hulu Sequel" but now we are tagging it "Hulu Pilot". (If it had been picked up and named New Sunnydale, that would have become the new fandom tag.) Our other fandom tags include: btvs, ats, buffy comics, slayers: a buffyverse story - to name some but not all. See the full list on our tags page.
Reblogs of "hulu sequel" have been changed to "hulu pilot" for the Digest. We will be updating our tags page soon.
There have been a lot of posts about the Pilot not getting picked up. A double Herald covering Sunday and Monday is delayed, but will be released sometime Tuesday (US time). It will include a lot of posts about the pilot. These will be labeled so you can read or avoid them as you like.
We anticipate this surge of activity about the pilot to die down at some point. Perhaps it will lead to more new viewers watching the original show (or movie). Perhaps it will lead to more fan art, fan videos, and fan fiction as people channel their pilot hopes and dreams into creative fanworks. We will see, and continue to document it in the Herald Newsletter.
As always, if you are interested in joining the crew that puts out one of the longest running (since 2004) fandom newsletters, reach out. We can always use a backup editor or more tumblr rebloggers.
Our contact info is available in the tumblr sidebar and LiveJournal/Dreamwidth profile as always. You can also comment on this post. Cheers!

some good things
Mar. 17th, 2026 11:22 pmkaberett- Allotment salad!
- Got Things Into The Ground (as well as out of it); I am as ever running massively behind but the weather was lovely and touching soil remains very good.
- It was warm enough to have the back door open for a bit.
- I am really, really enjoying the self-indulgent Very Expensive Lebkuchen I got from SousChef in the January sale. They make an excellent supper.
- Bloods taken today do include a full blood count; alas no ferritin (that's scheduled for... May? April?) but I do get a sneaky extra update on how my estimated haemoglobin is doing.
- libgourou continues to Work. I remain very pleased about this.

Vorkosiverse: The Cukoo, by callmecasandra
Mar. 17th, 2026 01:43 ambeatrice_otter posting in fancakeFandom: Vorkosigan
Pairings/Characters: Gregor Vorbarra, Ivan Vorpatril
Rating: Gen
Length: 7k
Creator Links:callmecasandra
Theme: siblings, AU, fork in the road, family, gen, old fandoms, book fandoms
Summary: Gregor need not have worried.
Reccer's Notes: Gregor Vorbarra is Emperor of Barrayar, and he has monsters in his family tree. His father Serg was a rapist and a murderer who died when he was a small child (and Serg's own father Emperor Ezar arranged his death), and his great uncle was Mad Emperor Yuri who was paranoid and homicidal and awful. Gregor understandably has issues about his family.
But what if Ezar had seen the sort of person Serg was, and how many monsters are in the family tree, and not only made sure Serg died before inheriting the throne, but also ... made sure that Serg would not father the next emperor of Barrayar?
This is a short but compelling AU. The series is marked incomplete, but there are no dangling plot threads and it hasn't been updated in over a decade.

This woman is convinced she and her sister were the best of friends. And she’s telling the secret daughter, from a secret marriage, all about it.
Leia doesn't need the force to know it wasn't true.
Reccer's Notes: This is about Padmé and her sister Sola, but it's also about Luke and Leia, and about family, and about memory.

SGA: Last Will and Testament by speranza
Mar. 17th, 2026 07:31 pmmific posting in fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Jeannie Miller, Jack O'Neill
Rating: Explicit
Length: 23,191, 02:40:45
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply.
Creator Links: speranza on AO3, speranza's own site
Themes: Siblings, Action/adventure, Family, AU, AU - fork in the road
Summary: "Jean isn't your sister," Rodney said, speaking to John as if he was a small child. "Jean is my sister."
John's whole face changed. "What?"
Reccer's Notes: Written as a slightly cracky Harlequin fic, this is a favourite story of mine, full of action, adventure, and family complications. John and Rodney meet at Patrick Sheppard's funeral and afterwards happen on an alien artifact at his apartment. A wild ride ensues as they try to get it to Area 51. Rodney's a physicist and John's air force, but at the start, neither of them know about the Stargate program. There's lots of excellent drama, romance, and snark as they gradually discover all the secrets their parents hid from them.

Rodney and John weren't raised as brothers, but they discover they are. After having fucked. This causes some angst for a while, and Rodney's rationalisations are amusing.Creator Links: speranza on AO3, speranza's own site
