Demon Slayer Movie: Infinity Castle was one of the best cinematographic experiences I've ever had!

The Infinity Castle already looked awesome on the small screen (think of the architectural effects in Inception), it was absolutely amazing on the big one. The background music was perfect for the action scenes. If you have the opportunity to watch it this way, I highly recommend it.

The first episode of the GL anime This Monster Wants to Eat Me was intriguing! A mermaid protects a high school girl until she gets to eat her. ^^

It's available on Crunchyroll.

----------

Netflix's j-drama Alice in Borderland Season 3 was great!

I missed Chishiya and Kuina, but good for them that they didn't have to go through more death games. Along with Arisu and Usagi, there's a new protagonist, Ryuji, who uses a wheelchair.

The Snowstorm drama had no flowers at all, so those are textures, but the rest of the flowers were already in the picture:

Rec Roundup

delphi: A handwritten note reading "For the New Unicorn" (izzy unicorn)
[personal profile] delphi posting in [community profile] ourflagmeansgay
Cross-posting a couple of recent-ish recs from my journal:


Until It Doesn't Hurt by [youtube.com profile] CATastrophy
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Characters/Relationships: Izzy Hands + Ed/Izzy breakup and background Ed/Stede + elements of Izzy/Lucius
Medium: Vid
Length: 2:49
Rating: SFW (some scenes of violence, including a non-fatal self-inflicted gunshot)
My Bookmark Tags: angst, ambiguous ending, former relationship, fights & breakups, injury, heartbreak, self-harm
Song: "Until It Doesn't Hurt" by Mother Mother
Note: Contains some flickering and flashing lights.

Excerpt:
I want to fight, I want to bite / I want to swallow all the light
This is just a gorgeous three minutes of angst that perfectly captures Izzy's s1 and s2 journey away from Ed, with the way he swings between wanting to lash out and ruin lives but always coming back to just having to bear being left and being hurt. It's a great choice of song paired with crisp editing, making perfect use of moments of fire and self-isolation from the show without ever being too on the nose.


Legacy by [archiveofourown.org profile] SpaceCadetGlow
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Ship: Izzy Hands/Benjamin Hornigold
Medium: Fic
Length: 2184 words
Rating: Explicit
My Bookmark Tags: PWP, happy ending, established relationship, backstory, fantasies, genderplay, breeding, foot fetish
Summary: Captain Hornigold has a habit of fucking Izzy before raids. This time, though, he seems overly concerned about his legacy, if anything should go awry.

Excerpt:
"Nothing in this life is guaranteed. Do you ever think about legacy, my dear?"

Izzy shakes his head. He'd been twelve when he'd joined up with the Navy, or so he'd told them. That'd put him around twenty-four now – less than half of Captain’s age, he'd guess, and without any of the status in society that makes a man inclined to worry about things too far down the road.

"The mark we leave on the world," Captain continues. "The proof that we were here." He steps out of his boots and trousers. "For many men, it’s children. But I have not been so blessed."

Izzy has a feeling he knows why, as he perches naked on the edge of the Captain's bed.

This is a scorching-hot and wryly funny story about Hornigold springing some new kinks on Izzy, who's a little more preoccupied with the fact that they're about to go into battle. It's the kind of character-driven PWP I love, where Izzy's pragmatism and lack of an imagination leave him fundamentally unable to get on board with the elaborate narrative Hornigold's weaving, up until something physically clicks for him and his horizons expand. Izzy's point of view is wielded masterfully here, painting a vivid picture of Hornigold's psychology both through what Izzy is capable of understanding and what he isn't. This one left me snickering and swooning in equal measure.

goodbyebird: Agent Carter: Peggy looking down. (Agent Carter)
[personal profile] goodbyebird
+ My brain is mush. We dock sometime during tonight, so tomorrow will be another hectic day. Thankfully come Friday I shall have freedoooommmm.

+ I want a Big Barda icon but I'm too zapped to make one *sulk*

Maybe after I've had my shower.

+ Not helping: my mom constantly asking me when I can come see her in Oslo, and for plans this Christmas when she'll be visiting and living at my brother's. I do not have capacity for this. Love her to bits but it's tough to convey that SOCIAL BANK EMPTY, PLAN QUEUE FULL.

+ Booked my flu shot for next Thursday. Apparently they're not doing Covid shots at the doctor anymore, boo. And the only information I can find is that it becomes available week 42. Hopefully I manage to get in there early enough that it will mostly be in full effect by the time I go to Thailand.

+ One Battle After Another will be showing at the small local cinema next week. There's been some very positive buzz. I may try to lure some friends to come with.

+ Decided to try and move away from using GoodReads, and so far StoryGraph seems a good fit. I know there's quite a few options out there, but I only made it through two before settling on StoryGraph. (Fable being the second option, but just way too busy for me. Someone looking for a move involved and social experience might vibe with it!)

One of the fun things is you can make your own book lists or challenges. I started putting together a small Queer Comics one. I could only find two other comic/graphic novel challenges by searching, so that's certainly a void in need of filling that's what she said.

Anyways, I'm here, in case anybody else is stretching their wings.

Sad eta: Jane Goodall has passed.
