cimoreneI want to see Project Hail Mary, but not enough to go to the theater for it.
Fine, it'll reach streaming soon enough.
The problem is that it has become one of those fandom epicenters of twee. I am seeing an explosion of nauseating sentimentality and noxious preciousness about it on Tumblr, just an absolute flood of posts from people too excited to remember to tag, and a large quantity of spoilers and eye-watering takes still get through before I manage to scroll past them. These are blogs I don't want to unfollow for other reasons, obviously. I might reach critical saturation before the movie reaches streaming at this rate.
When was the last time this happened? I cannot put my finger on an example fandom that predictably yet undeservedly became this kind of tweeness vortex, yet I am bothered by the feeling that I've seen this happen before.

A cat sonnet
May. 8th, 2026 04:13 pmpetraThere are a thousand spots to sit at home:
Upon the couch, on laundry, not just laps.
But just as all the old roads lead to Rome,
The cat returns to sit on me. Perhaps
She smells the cortisol of stress, and knows
That I'm inclined to stroke her velvet fur --
Once void-black, now specked galaxy, it flows
Softer than kitten fluff. And so she purrs,
Then settles with her head upon my wrist
And tush on laptop keys, immune to shame.
Despite spring air, my little cat finds bliss
In cuddling up and acting nearly tame.
Nine pounds of feline is enough to pin
Me to the couch, and so her reign begins.
Upon the couch, on laundry, not just laps.
But just as all the old roads lead to Rome,
The cat returns to sit on me. Perhaps
She smells the cortisol of stress, and knows
That I'm inclined to stroke her velvet fur --
Once void-black, now specked galaxy, it flows
Softer than kitten fluff. And so she purrs,
Then settles with her head upon my wrist
And tush on laptop keys, immune to shame.
Despite spring air, my little cat finds bliss
In cuddling up and acting nearly tame.
Nine pounds of feline is enough to pin
Me to the couch, and so her reign begins.
Familect word: Cat-like reflexes / Cat-like timing
May. 8th, 2026 10:53 ampetraI recently got a new TENS device intended to stop migraines. The zap cycle lasts 45 minutes and makes it extremely uncomfortable to move one arm. I will report back when I know more.
This morning, the cat jumped on my lap at minute 46, just as I was going to peel off the electrodes. I could've been petting her with the other arm, but nooooo.
She is generally the entity in the house accused of cat-like reflexes, but humans can do it too.

Happy World Password Day!
May. 7th, 2026 08:23 pmpetraTime to update your AO3 password. It can now be 72 characters long.
Here, have a website that counts characters.
So far my favorite possible maximal password I won't use is:
Little pig little pig let me in! Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin!
(Sorry about the lack of vocative commas, but 72 is a harsh mistress.)
If you like poetry, there's always:
Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though
Bring me your favorite 72-character phrase that you Won't use as an AO3 password!

this notebook is like if you poured the contents of my brain into a bucket and then stirred
May. 5th, 2026 11:26 amrunpunkrunI was flipping through an old notebook looking for notes on the Pinto fic I'm revising, and found, on the front of a page with Pinto notes on the back, the following:
Had a dream I was stuck in a burning elevator with Zachary Quinto and I had to save us all by myself because he had just come out of therapy and was useless.
hashtag relatable
but jesus zachary help a girl out
those mob guys who blew up the elevator
probably weren't after me
I'm guessing that last part was due to reading too many Pinto fics where Zach's in the mob.
Then there's some css. This notebook is truly an adventure.

Fancake's Theme for May: Journey & Travel

![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
fancake's theme for May is Journey & Travel! This theme is for fanworks that focus on the journey/travel of it all. That could mean a work that focuses more on the journey than the destination, one where the travel destination is a big part of the work, or, as always, a secret third thing!If you have any questions about this theme, or the comm, come talk to me!

Summary:
The twentieth time through what has got to be the worst, and longest, day anyone has ever experienced without dying irrevocably, Obi-Wan wakes up on the Negotiator, checks the chrono to be positive of the date and swears a bloody streak, then comms Anakin. He has tried this day doing what he thought best, what he thought Yoda would think best, then Shaak, then Mace, then every other Jedi he's ever respected.
He has been putting off trying what he believes Quinlan's approach would be, or at least what Quinlan would counsel Obi-Wan to do, but the time has come.
And then I fell off my chair
May. 4th, 2026 08:56 pmpetraOkay, not literally, but the comic in this May the Fourth be with You tumblr post is absolutely killing me.
I'm saving the art because I would be so, so sad if I were to lose it, but please go let the artist know if it amuses you anything like as much as it tickles me.

And yes, I did have to use this icon for this post.

My Inexhaustible Ode to Joy

Give me back my stove

They took it away
What remains is
a grey
naked
hole.
And this is enough for me;
grey naked hole
grey naked hole.
