FIC: Entrance protocol (Tempestuous Tours)
Mar. 4th, 2026 05:17 pmduskpetersonThe protocol for entering the palace changes from time to time, so I can only offer a general outline. If your business is with the court or council, you should present yourself and your credentials to the guards at the southern gate of the outer wall of the palace. It is best to arrange beforehand for your visit. If this not possible, or if you cannot provide an exact time for your arrival, expect to wait as your credentials are sent into the palace to be checked.
Normally, you will be provided with an escort into the palace. If you arrive at a time before the palace begins its day, you will be expected to make your own way to the eastern gate of the inner wall. There your credentials will be inspected again, along with any document that the palace has sent out, permitting your entrance. You will then be allowed to enter the inner wall and make your approach to the palace itself.
The palace being located atop a high hill, you will find yourself faced with the steepest and longest set of stairs in the world. Pace yourself. You may wish to bring refreshments to partake of at the halfway mark.
At the top of the stairs, once you have recovered your breath, you should show your credentials and palace document to the guards at the gate, holding them up for inspection. The guards may not appear to look at you or even notice you. Do not be deceived. Those are real spears they are holding across the doorway.
If the guards grant you entrance, they will lift the spears. If they do not, you must retreat to the palace's inner wall and determine there what the problem is.
Assuming you manage to pass all these barriers, you will find yourself in the entryway to the palace. You will be guided at this point through the remaining stages of reception, which vary according to your rank and status. At some point, however, you will be let loose from Emor's protocol and permitted to take your own path. Let us start with a general introduction to the Chara's palace.
[Translator's note: This breathtakingly long procedure can be cut short if you possess the right credentials, as can be seen in Breached Boundaries.]

HBO's "Lanterns" has a teaser trailer
Mar. 4th, 2026 08:15 pmicon_uk posting in scans_daily
Which is, as I sort of expected, a little short on ring slinging, since I figures they'll be saving that for the full trailer, or even the actual premiere.
( Also, a lot swearier than I expected )
Made it all the way through the February Go-Pass!
Mar. 4th, 2026 02:25 pmstarthorn posting in pokestopThis was actually only the second time that I've made it all the way through one of the Go Passes! I tend to play very sporadically even though I've had an account for ages, so this was super exciting.
Did y'all make it to the end of the Go-Pass too? Do you have advice for completing them more reliably?

In Memphis, on Valentine's Day
Mar. 4th, 2026 12:22 pmsovayDiameter of mental blast crater not diminished. Outside is absurdly springlike following the double-tap of winter that required me to shovel my mother's car out twice, once for the unexpected four inches of snow and then for the glacial swamp the succeeding sleet turned the driveway into. In the process I seem to have inherited the Bat, the stupidest motorcycle jacket I have met in my life. It doesn't have sleeves so much as it has patagia. It is covered with snaps that open into flaps and none of them into pockets. The total design suggests that it may be so heavily constructed because otherwise in a sufficiently stiff gust of wind its owner could achieve accidental unpowered flight. It looks like an opera cape with ambitions of fetish night. My mother insisted on it because I had run out to shovel the first time in my flannel shirtsleeves and the second time my corduroy coat was obviously not adequate to the slush-fall, but it was a present to my father from my grandparents about forty years ago and it looks functionally mint because he has spent most of that time avoiding ever wearing it. In its defense, it is extremely warm and also I look like a tire. There will be no photographs.

Today's News:
Peek-A-WHO?!
Mar. 4th, 2026 02:00 pmcakewrecks_feedSometimes when I'm bemoaning the fact that most cakes today are just plastic flotsam delivery vehicles...
Here's your cake, enjoy! Just don't try to eat that thing. Or that one. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that.
...Or that.
...I remember there's a REASON bakers rely so heavily on flotsam and toys:
Nemo? More like Ne-NO, am I right?
[Ba-dum-CHA!]
I... I think this is supposed to be Spider-Man:
Hold me.
Now, see, this would have been perfect if the customer had actually ASKED for a zombie-fied Spongebob:
As it is, I'm pretty sure little Levi needs therapy now.
This Darth Vader cookie is so ridiculously pathetic that I actually kind of love it:
(At least, I hope it's Vader. If not, then I'm never getting those thirty seconds of squinting back. Never EVER, you guys.)
Seriously, it's so bad I want to hug it.
And I like how the baker just gave up on the other cookie cakes, like she was all, "YOU GET VADER OR YOU GET NOTHING."
And finally, let's end with a little mystery:
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?
Please, you guys, I have to know.
It says "Where Kermet," so of course my first thought was Kermit the Frog. But it's blonde and has four eyes with a giant red clown nose. Or is the red thing its mouth? And why "Where Kermet?" Where Kermet what? Where he stores his wigs? Where he met his untimely demise?
I went back to Holly J.'s original e-mail, seeking answers, and was delighted to find she'd included a few more angles of the mystery:
....
Well, THAT clears things ups, doesn't it? 0.o
Hang on. Holly says she thinks this is... MISS PIGGY!? Really? I mean, I guess she must be right, but... How. HOW. How is this possible?
I will not rest until I have answers!
Or until I get tired. Or John gets back with our burritos.
But otherwise, TOTALLY NOT RESTING.
Thanks to Sabrina, Kristen O., Sean K., Patrice D., Tori S., & Holly J. for pointing out today's character flaws. We know it's only because you care, guys.

P.S. Good news, there's a Volume 2!

This one has the word "spiffing" in the title AND comes with a lovely green-and-gold cover, so folks will recognize your sophisticated taste while begging you to stop telling these terrible, TERRIBLE jokes.

Culture Club: Fanfic: Six Hats and a Suitcase
Mar. 4th, 2026 09:47 ammidnight_heavenly_bodies posting in fan_flashworksTitle: Six Hats and a Suitcase
Fandom: Culture Club
Pairing: Boy George/Jon Moss
Rating: G
Length: 955 words
Content notes: N/A
Author notes: This was so fun to write. I love these two so much.
Written for: Challenge 508 - Anticipation
Summary: George is packing like he's emigrating, Jon is pretending not to panic about how much he cares. Four days before their first holiday together, the flat is full of hats, silk shirts, and things neither of them are quite ready to say out loud. Domestic chaos, soft glances, one suitcase, and the quiet realization that this might be something real.
