I deeply enjoyed reading a Star Trek: The Original Series story in which Hanahaki is nonfatal and limited to Vulcans. I enjoyed it all the more because I didn't read the tags beyond noting that it's General Audiences and No Warnings Apply. Having now read the tags and finished the story, which ends hopefully, I recommend that you give the story a try if the idea of Spock coughing up flowers of unrequited love appeals to you -- but page down and skip the tags, unless there are common pairings in the fandom that you need to avoid.

My responses to the

thefridayfive for 6/6/2025.

1. Have you ever been to summer camp?
No.

2. Have you ever made a s'more?
Yes. My family used to have bonfires in one of the outer fields every autumn and we'd roast marshmallows and make s'mores.

3. Have you ever slept under the stars (no tent/tarp)?
No. I'm very much not an outdoorsy person.

4. Have you ever had a member of the opposite sex sleep over at your house?
Yes

5. What type of bed do you have (queen, twin, bunk, etc.)?
Twin

Padmé, much like Dolly Parton, loses an Amidala look-alike contest. How many of the entrants are in drag? I leave that as an exercise for the reader.

There are definitely drag king portrayals of Anakin and Obi-Wan in their heyday, possibly including makeouts with each other and/or drag king clones.

Anyone who has seen The Empire Strips Back knows what drag!Luke Skywalker is wearing, and as for Leia -- well, I could insert any number of pictures of people doing Leia drag, in any number of costumes, and she’s not even royalty in this galaxy. Who even knows how many hotass drag kings lust after Han’s gender, too.

Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: None

Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.

But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.

Or,

Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.

Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.

Chapter Summary: Bail is not quite sure what’s going on, but he’s very, very happy to see Obi-Wan and he’ll play along if it means seeing the last of that asshole, Cornen Pre.

Inspired by fred_mouse, I'm working through Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way. A lot of it speaks to me, but the Christian spirituality of it all is a struggle. I'm fine with skipping things over, but the Basic Principles are an integral part of the process - so I decided to write my own version, one that I could actually accept. Here they are:

Basic Principles, for a non-believer

Humans are a creative species.
We have a deep, innate instinct to make things.
It might be an accident of evolution, but it is a brilliant one: it benefits ourselves, our communities, our entire species.
Every human is creative; every human can create.
Our creativity makes the world a better place.
To deny ourselves the freedom to create is cruel - just like it would be cruel to deny a bird to fly or a horse to run.
When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we accept what we are and what we can be.
As we let ourselves to follow our creative instinct, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.
It is safe to follow our creative instinct, however far it may lead us.
We are creators. If we let ourselves create, we turn a random side-effect of biology into a power strong enough to change to world.

(The original, for reference).

A bit arrogant to think I can do better, maybe, but I needed them so I made them. I really enjoyed writing them up.

I'm posting them here because I'm proud of them - and maybe someone else could find them useful?

1) Just returned from a road trip from Portland to L.A. Almost had a hitch at the very start when it turned out my partner couldn't take me to pick up the car until 12:30 and the pickup had been scheduled for noon. I figured, not a big deal, right, to move it to 1 PM? Tried doing so with the 800 number since I couldn't seem to alter the reservation (and the local office usually can't be reached). I was told that if the car wasn't picked up by soon after 12 it would no longer be available. That sounded ridiculous, so I went to the office in person. Yup, no problem at all to move it to 1 PM. They told me I couldn't prepay for the pickup since it had to be tied to a specific vehicle.

I then asked if I could add the pre-paid fuel and tolls since the Chicago dropoff meant it wouldn't even cost me much more than if I did it myself. No but I could do that online. In fact, I couldn't. I was never offered the option.

Despite all this had no trouble with the pickup on the day, nor the drive up other than rain all the way. And I did rather like the light that would flash if someone was coming up on my left or right side to alert me to possible blind spots. The other thing was that as soon as I'd sat in the rental the service agent let me know to ignore the constantly signaling "maintenance warning" light. They had just gotten it back from the dealership and nothing could be found wrong with the car. ( Read more... )

The flight was definitely unfun. I had a middle seat and was very tired from a poor night's sleep followed by a 3 hour drive. I tried resting for an hour but gave up and watched Wicked on the in flight panels. I thought it was fine, certainly big budget, some nice dance routines and performances. I was surprised to realize it was only Pt. 1 of the story. I guess it was a good spot to end it to get the audience back in for the sequel. ( Read more... )

2) It took me a while but I did catch up on Pillowfort posts. Here at Dreamwidth though one can't scroll back longer than 2 weeks, which was skip=350. So there may be posts from from the 21st I can't see.

That said I'm having to skim through a lot because it's a ton of posts and I have things to catch up on now that I'm home again. More on that later.

3) Yesterday was unpacking, laundry, and refrigerator triage before today's weekly shop. I thought I was shockingly tired yesterday given that Monday night I had the most sleep since before the trip and the general stress was over. I even wondered if I was coming down with something but I feel ok today too, just...tired.

4) One nice bit post-trip is that I still had some of K's curry pretzels which she gifted M and me with. People love them so much she was urged to make it a side hustle but she said she didn't have the time for that, and preferred getting to relax rather than have a second job when she came home. She made some to order for Christmas sales a few years ago and said she didn't want to go through that twice.

5) Usually my partner complains that he never has time to watch his TV stuff because he has so little viewing time, and when he does have it we watch things together. My being away is clearly helpful on this front as he's looking forward to some of our joint viewing again 😉

Confession: I literally forgot, until today, that I have a Fandom Trumps Hate fic to write. Wooooow, Cass. It's a good thing we have until December to finish, innit? My life went into complete upheaval and I literally just forgot. That's a bad look. On the bright side, the person I'll be writing for is super cool and sweet and the request is definitely something I'm really interested in, so it won't be difficult at all to get into it once I can find some time and space to concentrate on something other than the cost and the logistics of my upcoming move. And hey, for all I know, my new apartment will provide me with the perfect comfortable space to really dig in and focus up.

Happy Pride! I always felt good having my birthday during Pride Month, and for the start of it coinciding with my birthday week. I'm going to do something to treat myself every day this week. Today, on Day 1, got a bag of goodies from 85 Bakery (which I am really, REALLY going to miss).

At the time of writing this it is now technically tomorrow, as it is 2:44AM. So, once I wake up, for Day 2 I'm going to go have a huge breakfast at this cool local hole in the wall called Cowboy Surfer Grill. The decor is equal parts surfer, cowboy, and Irish, for some reason.

In more unfortunate news, my friend Jess texted me to let me know that our mutual friend Sam was found collapsed in her bathroom by her husband and taken to the hospital, where she proceeded to have multiple seizures. There's a mass on her spine that she will have surgery to remove, they just aren't sure when. Last I heard, she's coherent and awake and close to being her usual cheerful self, just a little out of it and scared. I'm going to find time to go visit. It will mean spending many long hours on the freeway, but seeing Sam - and seeing Jess too - will be well worth it.

I actually completely forgot about the French Open until last night. I just don't really follow tennis anymore. Though I tuned into today, watched Carlos Alcaraz and Francis Tiafoe play some good tennis, and apparently this event is now streaming on Max, which means I can watch it during my commute and in the gym as well.
Next weekend, on the other hand, I'm hoping to have a date. If the guy's schedule allows for it, anyway. Hopefully my sinuses will have quieted a little by then. They were pretty bad this weekend. I started work on my new song anyway, but I'm not sure whether or not I'm going to stick with my current choice.
When I finished yesterday's episode of Doctor Who, I immediately texted my sister to tell her I had done so. ( She promptly started texting back about... )

How is it June already? At one year in, it looks like 1/3 of the goals on the list have either been met or adjusted as no longer pertinent.

Big BIG activity month for the goals list, because the renovation started in May. It was delayed a couple of weeks but much progress has been made in very short order. I spent a massive amount of time and effort on decluttering possessions as well.

5. Read Vorkosigan series
Completed three more books in the series and have now exhausted my physical books. The local library only has audiobooks – which, tbh, put me to sleep almost instantly. I think more reading in this series will have to wait until I locate physical books.

17. Figure out financing for porch subsidence issue
Not exactly creative, but basically doing a quicker, less thorough fix (i.e., not demolishing the existing porch and replacing it) that still ought to make the porch more stable and less prone to water incursion. This will probably end up on a credit card after all, which I was hoping to avoid – but needs must.

28. Weight monitoring
Up another 4.8 pounds. I have completely gained back everything I lost in the last year and am now less than one pound off my May 1 starting weight. My only comfort is that I remain under 200 pounds. I am such a stress eater and between personal and political misery, all I do is snack and nibble.

29. BMI monitoring
Back up at 31.

Completed a cluster of reno projects, as follows:

49, 51, 52. Smallest bedroom – Painted ceiling, walls & trim, replaced the outlets,
switchplates and ceiling fan

54, 55, 56, 57, 58. Primary bedroom - Finished stripping wallpaper and repaired walls, painted the ceiling, walls and trim including interior of closet; replaced the outlets, switchplates and ceiling fan

59. Refloored the primary and smallest bedrooms to correct the existing problems and flaws

60, 61, 62, 63, 65, 66, 68. Did some major repairs on the walls in the middle room (destructive teen damage years), primed and painted the entire room – walls, trim, ceiling. Also replaced the subflooring, installed new flooring, replaced the outlets, switchplates and ceiling fan

72. The popcorn ceilings in the upstairs were removed
They used some kind of chemical that softened the ceiling enough that they could pull it down. They are currently patching and sanding the ceiling before painting.

92. Curate book collection
Much progress in May. Most of my books are stored upstairs and I cleaned out the upstairs in its entirety to prepare for the renovation. So I went through all my books, reserved maybe 50 favorites and rehomed everything else. The local library benefited hugely from this cleanout. I am thinking, though, to do one more pass on the books to see if there are any more I can declutter without too much pain.

93. Curate zine collection
I may have counted this as completed in April, but really it was done the first week of May. Overall I rehomed around 200 fanzines and kept only about a dozen favorite beloved Star Wars zines and two MFU zines

Deleted several goals as being unnecessary due to selling/moving. I figured I didn’t need to go the extra mile with some things. If I were staying on in this house, I would definitely do them.

48. Install pullout shelves in kitchen cabinet

50, 64. Install crown moulding in the middle and smallest bedrooms.

102. Schedule advance tasks like survey, appraisal, etc.
I belatedly realized these will be part of the closing process so I do not need to do them separately.

Good: I found a dollar on the ground today.

Better: My final Disneyland day was yesterday, and honestly it was a really good day. It was very hot, but I managed to get on tons of rides, all my faves more than once. I wandered around, enjoyed the vibes, took a bunch of nice photos, did some things I don't normally do often simply because it was my last chance to do so, and just. I don't know. It was a really nice day. A good final visit.

Best: Last week I had sent an email to the owner of a massage clinic in Wisconsin, where I'll be moving to, and we connected over the phone. I wasn't expecting an actual interview, I was just going to ask a couple of questions, but he ended up giving me a full rundown and talking to me for over twenty minutes, and by the end of the call he said that he would be willing to take a chance on me without meeting me in person and that he would like to offer me a job. I was shocked, but elated. Holy shit, look at me go! I just need to make sure I can get my California license switched over (there are a ton of hoops for me to jump through) but he said that even if I can't get it done in time, I can apply for a six-month temporary license through the city, and that he will help me.

Over the past three days, I have done nine attempts to record this song. All nine failed. I think I only even got close once. I am giving in and posting this one decent video I managed to get back on the 10th. I actually managed to get it imported into the computer as a .mov file that proved watchable and usable, so that problem seems to have just gone away by itself.

Watch on YouTube

I got scolded by YouTube in the process of uploading it for blocking their ads. But I probably never would have bothered, had their latest stunt of putting AI-dictated adds every five or so minutes hadn't pushed things beyond my tolerance. Honestly, I'm kind of glad I've never tried to make money off of these things. Though this one getting copybot-claimed by what looks like some sort of Brazilian company is kind of strange, but ultimately I only care about whether it gets blocked or not, and that, at least, my singing videos have managed to avoid so far.

And what better way to get Angel of the Morning stuck in my head than this gorgeous vid?
