May. 5th, 2026 01:39 pmstardust_riflewhy is the english language both an non-pro-drop language and a language that has mandatory gendered third-person pronouns AND culture has not yet evolved to the point where they/them is entirely-neutral as opposed to a deliberate Statement Of Non-Gender AND m is not good enough at japanese to actually write the thing in a language where not using third-person pronouns is easy and not like pulling teeth like it is in english
Doctor Who: once upon a time in nazi-occupied france by yonderdarling
May. 5th, 2026 01:36 pmkingstoken posting in fancakeFandom: Doctor Who
Pairings/Characters: Twelve/Missy (but also Doctor/Master generally)
Rating: Not Rated
Length: 121,404 words
Creator Links: yonderdarling
Theme: Journey & Travel, getting back together
Summary: "He's sitting in a cafe in Vichy France (he was aiming for 2042) and waiting for his lunch when Missy plops down in the chair opposite him." This is an idea they've had before, it's just the first time they've both been able to consider it. The Doctor and Missy try travelling together.
Reccer's Notes: After Twelve loses Clara, Twelve and Missy try travelling together through space and time. Reading Missy and Twelve together in the TARDIS is a delight. However, the fic digs into the complicated nature of their relationship, gives them a rather tragic backstory, and focuses how they deal with things as they start falling into a romantic relationship and the consequences of that.

Get Gifted with Dreamwidth Services!
May. 5th, 2026 12:23 pmyourlibrarian posting in 3weeks4dreamwidth
In this event's first week 15 people stepped forward to donate Dreamwidth points to other site users who wanted to add or try out paid features. Per their pledges we have enough points to gift either 68 people $3 each in points, or fewer people enough points for particular things (such as 6 months of a premium paid account, a rename token, extra icons, etc.).
Now however it's your turn: we need people who would like paid features to step forward! Leave a comment indicating you'd like some Dreamwidth points, or mention what you'd specifically like the points for. (That way I can allot points based on desired purchases). Comments to this post are screened and all you need say is "Points!".
Remember, paid features is the only way to support Dreamwidth financially. Having giftees means we give Dreamwidth financial resources for all they do.
Please also promote this offer in your account and communities if you're not interested in paid features yourself! ( Read more... )
Please leave a comment by May 14! On May 15 I'll start matching donors with giftees and those leaving comments here should be receiving points by the end of the month.
(Also if you'd still like to donate points, just visit the donor post and comment with the amount there)
TV Tuesday: On the Younger Side
May. 5th, 2026 12:21 pmyourlibrarian posting in tv_talk
Sesame Street has been picked up by Netflix and may be going global. Are there kids’ shows you wish were better known elsewhere?
How do you feel about the return of those shows in a different era (such as the new Muppets Show special on Disney+)? Are these shows underappreciated by general audiences?
Season of Drabbles fics
May. 5th, 2026 09:05 amsholioSeason of Drabbles is revealed! I wrote 5 things, and enjoyed being super sneaky about at least a couple of them for a change.
As Sholio:
Orchestral (Biggles, 200 wds)
Biggles/EvS on a music-related "date."
Time and Tide (Star Trek TOS, 700 wds, Spock/McCoy [sort of])
I was hunting around for other people to treat, saw this person mention time loops among their interests, and realized it would be really interesting to try writing a drabble sequence in which each drabble was an iteration of the time loop.
(This was also one of the ones I mentioned that was a fandom I've never written before. Particularly neat in this case since this is far and away one of my oldest "fandoms" - I use that in quotes because I'm not sure if you can call it that when you're as young as I was when I first watched episodes on TV a very long time ago, but it's definitely something I've had feelings about since an early age.)
As AltSholio:
A New Normal (Agent Carter, 100 wds, Jack & Peggy)
My actual assignment, and I had fun with it! Just a bit of post-canon adjustment and banter.
Stay (Biggles, 100 wds, h/c)
H/C fluff for the win.
Second Contact (Project Hail Mary, 300 wds, Grace & Rocky & Adrian)
Grace meeting Adrian. This would be the other fandom I hadn't written before, and probably wouldn't have under my main because there's not likely to be any more of it, but I enjoyed writing this little treat!

Red Dress Day
May. 5th, 2026 09:48 ammuccamukkLive nearish to a school, and just saw a chain of students walk slowly by. Most were wearing red shirts, some of the adults beat frame drums. Intermittent singing of the Women's Warrior Song drifted across the street.
Today we hang red dresses and remember the women, girls and two-spirit people who could be wearing them, but are missing and dead.
