The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Sebastian Stan will be playing Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part II.
Bucky jokes aside I think this is great casting.

Write Every day 2026: January, Day 9
Jan. 9th, 2026 11:06 pmtrobadoracandyheartsex assignments have arrived, and I got what I hoped I'd get!In yesterday's poll, the majority of people work on one thing at a time when it's for a deadline, but on multiple things at once when it's not. Fascinating!
(Also, in tickyboxes, the majority said they'd tick whichever ones they like. More interestingly, 33,3% of respondents chose "tick them all", but only 11% actually did tick them all. *g*)
For me, I usually have multiple things going no matter what. When I'm in the very final phase of finishing a story, I need to focus on just that; otherwise, there may be a "main" thing I'm working on, but it's hardly ever the only thing. Creativity begets creativity, so the better the writing is going with one thing, the more ideas and snippets my brain produces for other things as well. *g*
Today's writing
Some more
fandomtrees, but also, I had a brainwave and wrote some snippets plus a bunch of notes for an original fic WIP I hadn't touched since 2018. I think my writing brain is starting to function properly again if it's randomly throwing out things like that!WED Question of the Day

Jan. 9th, 2026 12:24 pmgreghousesgfHad some black tea with cinnamon and cloves and then went out to pick up a six pack of beer because I'm having a friend come over tonight for pizza and popcorn and movies. I'm really looking forward to it.
I finally got so fed up with these fucking phone scammers that I told one of them they were all full of shit and he called me a "bloody whore bitch" and I just laughed and hung up on him. I'm not the fucking criminal here, they are and I have no idea why they think we're stupid enough to fall for those scams. They all seem to have the same Indian accent and I can't help wondering what the fuck is going on in India that there seem to be so many of them there.

InstaLinks
Jan. 9th, 2026 02:38 pmnyctanthesNot feeling up to Snowflake this week. I've been writing, writing (after months of ambiguity re: how an important chunk of my novel unfolds I figured it out and...it's going to be good, even if I do say so myself). Also, my fridge died (while it was full and partner D was out of town, why why does it always happen this way).
So have a couple of instagram links.
Heated Rivalry turns out not to be my thing. Not because of the hockey but because (for me!) it's too much like fic. But I find the leads totally charming, so HERE'S Hudson Williams on Jimmy Fallon.
Also, five movies coming out in 2026, all of which I'm excited to watch.
BTW, Duval Timothy - who, along with CJ Mirra did the soundtrack for My Father's Shadow - is great. HERE's his bandcamp page if you want to check him out.

snowflake days 4 and 5: last page and a wish list
Jan. 9th, 2026 02:18 pmsixbeforelunch
Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page
I'll go with the last fannish page I bookmarked: TNG-Picard.com, a beautifully organized collection of TNG and Picard costumes and props, including close-ups of details.
Challenge #5: Create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.
This is surprisingly hard. Everything top of mind for me right now is something that no one reading this has any power over, and mostly involves the world being less of a horrible trash fire.
I guess to that end, if you have any money to spare, would you consider making a donation to an organization trying to do good in the world? Some that I support are Flatbush Cats, The Wildcat Sanctuary, Doctors Without Borders, Partners in Health, and Feeding America.
If you're artistically minded, I would love mood boards, cover art, or fan art of any of my stories, but especially anything related to Pi'maat or Scenes From Will Riker's War.
This last one is a huge stretch, but if any vid makers out there want to make an Star Trek: The Next Generation ensemble fanvid to We Are Going to Be Friends by The White Stripes, that would be amazing.
Snowflake Challenge 02026 #5: Wishlist

Snowflake Challenge '26, 5
Jan. 9th, 2026 12:37 pmtoothpastepancakeHello snowflake challenge participants and readers! Snowflake is quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of Dreamwidth. This challenge...
In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.
1) I loveeeeee user icons omg. I love them, collect em, and would love some of any of my fav things, which for reference are (some links to screencap sites included, ones I could find them for anyway)
3) Comments on my fanfic--I write largely for the aforementioned things, and some other stuff too. I'm very rarepair centric, female character centric, femslash centric, minor character centric, and therefore I don't get a lot of comments :p
4) More personal sites to check out! Do you have a website or read the personal website of anyone cool? Drop it here below! And I have one too, let me know if you'd like to exchange buttons.
Thanks for readinggg!! :)

a good way to go
Jan. 10th, 2026 02:09 amunholyghostI don't wanna die rich, okay? I wanna go out like Jim Henson, baby. I want a stadium full of people sobbing their eyes out that I have shuffled off this mortal coil, and you don't do that by making a lot of money. You do that by making a lot of joy.— Terry Ross in her video im quitting my job to make free games for a year🙈
no personal notes on this. you should check out Terry's patreon and ko-fi.
End of Year Reading Round-up 2025
Jan. 9th, 2026 11:22 amamado1Total: 105 books
( Read more... )
Absolute favorite of the year: Jean Genet's Our Lady of the Flowers.
Honorable mentions: Dykette, Mapping the Interior, The Darker Proof, Zombie Pit, I Look Divine, Goodbye to Berlin, and Mother Night.
Really enjoyed the poems, essays, and short stories I read for the Bradbury Challenge in December, which I was too lazy to list here. Most of the nonfiction I read was informative and helpful, though "Shame-Sex Attraction" just made me weary in the same way Roxanne Gay's collection of essays on rape culture did.
Books I read significant chunks of but didn't count: A trans man's memoir called "Becoming a Visible Man" -- I was probably 80% through this when the browser I was reading it on crashed, and I never bothered to find my spot again. Can't remember the author's name right now, which is awful, because he's famous in the trans community. Also "Wicked" by Greg Maguire -- really enjoyed it, forgot I owned it, stopped reading.

tattoo
Jan. 9th, 2026 07:59 amprettygoodwordtattoo (ta-TOO) - n., a permanent mark or design on the skin made by pricking and ingraining an indelible pigment; the process of making such a mark. v., to make a tattoo.
Also a signal on a drum, bugle, or trumpet at night, for soldiers or sailors to go to their quarters, but that's from Dutch and can be ignored for this theme. This was originally spelled was tattow, reflecting that in some Polynesian languages, such as Tahitian and Samoan, the word is tatau, but the word was later reimported from another Polynesian language, such as Marquesan, where the final vowel had shifted to tatu. The root meaning in Proto-Oceanic was the wingbone of a flying fox, which was apparently a common tool for tattooing -- a meaning that survived in a couple languages. [Sidebar: TIL Samoan is the most widely spoken Polynesian language, with around 430,000 native speakers, around half of which live in the Samoan Islands.]
