(You can also leave your requests there; requesting a story or essay is always free!) If you don't have a DW and so can't do the poll, that's okay; just leave your vote in the comments below; anon comments are turned on.

I was distracted last week because of exciting RL things and completely forgot about April recs. The first missed monthly rec post in over two years >.<

So, a quick one. I gave a short powerpoint presentation on my SGA fandom nostalgia in a Discord server recently (I joined SGA fandom almost twenty years ago, wow) and that reminded me of some SGA crack classics.

The Epic Tale of Rodney & John, Two Girl Scout Cookies In Love (The Pix or it Didn't Happen Remix) by

Krim
0.4k + comic, John/Rodney, explicit cookie porn
Summary: Cookie porn, crumbs, strong language, extreme crackiness. Very image-heavy. No spoilers.
Why I love it: This is exactly what it sounds like and it's glorious. A classic.
Tragically I couldn't find a working link to the podfic/-video version by busaikko anymore, please let me know if you have one.

Stargate: Atlantis - The Post-Trinity phenomenon by

iibnf
List of post-Trinity fics
Summary: [These are all McKay/Sheppard unless otherwise noted. This is not a list of recommendations, you can take it as a thematic list, instead. What I'm looking for is the classic Post-Trinity Mean John/Woobie Rodney concept, not other stories that may be set after Trinity but don’t deal with that particular issue.]
Why I love it: The Lemon Chicken Ratings list. A masterpiece.
Sadly a quick check showed that many links are no longer working, unsurprisingly, but even the list on its own is very much worth reading.

The Eternally Unnamed by

lavvyan
John/Rodney, crack
Summary: Ketchup!John/Pea!Rodney: "Ketchup and peas don't go together."
Why I love it: Lavvyan has written a ton of beautiful crack but this might be my personal favorite.

I have a word document with links to SGA fanworks that's 14 pages long. I'm sure many links sadly don't work anymore but now I'm tempted to go through them again, reread a few more stories, maybe rec some... Always too much to read and not enough time.

Rogan: apparently I just like collating data about my library for fun. And last night, I wondered: what decades are on my shelf?

( more than I thought! )

1. Watched: Trust Me: The False Prophet, a Netflix documentary about a new cult within the FLDS community. I was interested because I'm always interested in fundamentalism and cults (and how people leave them), but afterward Netflix decided to start giving me extremely unpleasant recommendations related to one of the crimes committed by the cult leader. No, thank you.

Relatedly, a while ago I watched another Netflix documentary, One of Us, about ex-Hasidic Jews in New York. It was excellent, though I was disappointed to learn later that they recut the film to hide the fact that one of the subjects was a lesbian.

I also started watching the Ncuti Gatwa run of Doctor Who, but gave up after a few episodes because it felt empty.

2. Books finished: It's been almost a month since my last post, so I've not only finished all the books I mentioned before, but forgotten them too! (Except for Hitler, the Germans, and the Final Solution. Highly recommend. It had much better answers to my questions than They Thought They Were Free, which at best was trying to argue against 1950s popular misconceptions that everyone has since moved on from.)

I have a bad habit of finishing a novel, thinking "That was pretty good; I wonder what everyone else thought", and immediately discovering that the other three people on dreamwidth who read it thought it irredeemable trash and pointing out fatal flaws, souring my remembered enjoyment and making me wonder if my brain is deteriorating or if I've always been such an uncritical reader. Anyway, I just finished Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao, a fantasy novel by a Filipino(?) author featuring Japanese characters set in a world that reminded me of Spirited Away.

3. Currently reading: Kinauvit?: What’s Your Name? The Eskimo Disc System and a Daughter’s Search for her Grandmother by Norma Dunning. So far so good; I thought it would be more academic, being based on a dissertation, but the author retooled it as more memoirish. Regardless, it's very readable, and the subject is interesting. I had heard of the disc numbers before, but only in brief mentions.

I currently have too many books checked out of the library, but I'm hoping to get to Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall and Europe in the High Middle Ages by William Chester Jordan before they are due back.

ETA: 4!! Almost forgot to say I posted two podfics for the Micro Pod Fic challenge: Bus to Strathclyde by PerfectlySteadfast (Doctor Who) and Command Performance by Laura JV (Star Trek)!

I played a lot more Hades II and had a lot of fun. And I even finally got a Melinoe icon, look. (Still too lazy to type the dots on her name every time.)
I finally got all achievements and fulfilled all prophecies, which is a good moment to finally post my run notes.

( Hades II, continued: #63+ )

( #70+ The Ending )

( #101: The Epilogue )

( #104+ Patch 2 )

Just for funsies, we wondered: what countries have bestowed works on our bookshelf? We chose countries both based on authors BORN in said countries, authors who were now CITIZENS of said countries, or, in the case of interviews, where the interviewed was from even if they didn't get credited as an author, since for fuck's sake, they provide all the material!

There's been a situation that has been making life stressful for the past year, and yesterday the stress doubled. My way of dealing with this kind of cosmic ass kick is to bury myself in writing, where I feel I have a pretence at control. I only say this because I might not be as responsive to posts as usual, and if anyone even notices a dearth of commentary from me (very small chance I realize) it's not you, it's me. Not gone, just coping and scribbling away.

Rogan: normally I don’t dream journal here, but recently there have been a couple I want to remember.

This morning, I woke up from a dream that I remember nothing of, only that it had a singularly beautiful (and reproducible) rendition of Amazing Grace, Mac’s favorite hymn. It was instrumental, performed on fiddle and... either another violin or a viola, playing accompaniment. Unlike the classic gospel style I’m familiar with (and which Mac mostly sticks to), this was played with a swing beat, folk or bluegrass style. I’m still humming it, trying to fix it in my head like the other dream songs.

(I swear the first version of Daniel Johnston’s “Devil Town” I ever heard was placed simply on the piano with vocals. I’ve never found it, and it was the best version. Drives me crazy.)

The other dream was a few days ago. It was one of those dreams where the vessel’s lineage alters all share a body like in waking life, but the others have their own corporeal bodies. Us alters were with our dad, Sneak doing gymnastic tricks, while Dad took photos of us. Even though nothing bad was happening, I kept feeling like something was wrong, I’d stopped talking to Dad for some reason, something it was very important to remember...

And then I remembered Mac, and immediately I knew I was supposed to be with him instead. I tore myself from the Dad photography scene and instantly found myself instead in the middle of me and Mac’s wedding. It wasn’t like the real one we’d had in 2009; we wore fancy suits in blue and gray, rather than our black rented tuxes, and we were outdoors, surrounded by ladies in saris doing a riotous, silly dance of joy. But the joy in my heart and Mac’s face (fifteen years ago! His hair was so short and his face was so young!) were the same as they were then, and that was all that mattered.

I planted two wild strawberry plants in my living room window box today :)

Last year I was lazy and didn't plant anything after the many herbs I had before all died (after I barely used most of them.) But this weekend I visited a botanical garden ~fair with a friend and she convinced me to get the strawberries, fingers crossed they'll grow and I can eat some. Apparently they can have fruits the whole summer.

I want to put some sage with the strawberries, and some flowers in the box of the window that is hard to open, and some herbs in the box on my kitchen window sill but I haven't decided yet which ones of parsley, chives, basil, and mint. Maybe all four will fit, even, if I can put them close together? Maybe I'll just go to the once-a-week-every-spring gardening stand nearby and see what they have/say.
