juniperphoenix: Locke and Sayid walking through tall grass (LOST: I went swimming in the Caribbean)
[personal profile] juniperphoenix posting in [community profile] fanart_recs
Fandom: LOST
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Individual portraits of Sayid, Desmond, Sun, Kate, Juliet, Eko, and Ana-Lucia
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium: digital painting
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: maddiesium on Reddit

Why this piece is awesome: These are great likenesses and wonderfully expressive of the characters. Sun's is the real standout for me, with its dramatic use of color and light and that classic Sun expression.

mific: Sepia pic john sheppard and rodney mckay leaning heads together, serious (McShep - intense)
[personal profile] mific posting in [community profile] stargateficrec
Shows: SGA
Rec Category: Apocafic
Characters: John Sheppard & Rodney McKay, Carson Beckett, Elizabeth Weir/Kate Heightmeyer (if you squint), Evan Lorne, Radek Zelenka, Aiden Ford, Stackhouse, Kavanagh, Chuck, Miko Kusanagi, Halling, Jeannie Miller, Wraith characters
Categories: Gen (close McKay & Sheppard friendship)
Words: 23,979
Warnings: The author chose not to warn (although there's secondary character death, there's no major character death)
Author on DW: [personal profile] troyswann
Author's Website: MSSalieri on AO3
Link: A Sudden Moon on AO3
Why This Must Be Read: This is a canon-divergent AU in which survivors of the expedition are forced to flee to a desolate alpha site when the Wraith take Atlantis and occupy it, leaving many expedition members behind, captured, and Sheppard lost. It's a powerful fic, with the main POVs being Elizabeth's as she desperately tries to hold the survivors together in the face of disaster while grappling with impossible life and death decisions, and Rodney's, as he mourns Sheppard in stunned rage, then undertakes a desperate Hail Mary ploy on which the fate of the expedition, Earth, and the Milky Way galaxy depend. The characterizations and writing are wonderful, from Elizabeth's exhausted determination to Kate and Radek's strength and humor, to Rodney's complex, fracturing psyche as the effects of his plan take hold. It's a tough read in places, but hang in there for the ending. Very much recommended.

progress!

Every year I sign up for SGA Secret Santa, I always think I'm going to get my story done early. This is the first year I might actually manage it. Hoo-yay.

Of course, I'm only talking about the first draft, but at 80% done, I'm looking at wrapping up soonish. This has never happened to me this early in the challenge.

I think I might have to go lie down.

Oh god I had to get a new iPhone as my old one was a stegosaurus and apps were starting to give me the finger. But now I have to set the new one up and I hates it, I hates it!

So far it won't even talk to my old dino-phone, or to my iPad which is barely more advanced, and it won't download everything from iCloud as my wifi is apparently using an old, insecure system, wpa2. So I have to upgrade that first and then will my iPad wifi and laptop wifi still work?? *grinds teeth*.

But in 20 minutes we go into a planned power cut so the local lines company can fix some urgent thingy, the second such in 3 days, which means I can postpone all this shit to another day.

Writing this to the sound of fireworks going off as Wednesday was Guy Fawkes night and with it now the weekend, lots of people saved their fireworks and we've had them exploding the last three days. You can set them off here anytime, but you can only buy them in the lead-up to Guy Fawkes once a year, in NZ law.

So I'm sitting here stumped by futuristic tech while being serenaded by a five centuries old celebration of averted English domestic terrorism.

Time for a nice cup of tea.

amedia: Cartoon person looking at computer on which is written BINGE WATCH - with the words WITH DC SLASH at the bottom (Binge Watch with DC Slash!)
[personal profile] amedia posting in [community profile] dcslash
This Saturday's binge features movies from the Bollywood series known as the Yash Raj Films Spy Universe.

I'm told these movies have actual plots, but from the songvid I saw at DC Slash Con (an absolute banger, let me add), the plot is largely a convenient excuse for amazing action scenes that show off Bollywood superstars (such as Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan) and their incredible physiques.


(click on the image for a surprise songvid based on these movies!)

The binge begins at 2 p.m. Eastern time (US) and usually runs until 5 or 6 pm. Here's the Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83088355896

NBC (USA) and Peacock streaming will have a full-movie-cast program called Wicked: One Wonderful Night tonight from 8:00pm - 10:00pm ET. It will also be available for streaming beginning tomorrow at 8:00pm on Peacock. 

If you don't get NBC where you are and haven't invested in Peacock, you can get a 7-day free trial of Peacock and shut it off as soon as you've seen the special.
