Just when I'm about to give up on finding a non-run-of-the-mill, TOS-centric fic that engrosses, provokes thought, and assumes a reader's willingness to reflect and theorize along with the author, AO3 offers me this:

"The Proliferation Problem (or: David Marcus Built a Garden Tool)" by InForestPlace

Rating: General audiences
Warnings: No archive warnings apply
Fandoms: Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - Fandom, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock - Fandom
Characters: David Marcus, James T. Kirk, Khan Noonien Singh, Carol Marcus

Author's summary: David Marcus died believing Starfleet wanted to weaponize his work. He was right that it was beautiful. He was wrong about almost everything else. A structural analysis of what Genesis actually was, what Khan understood immediately, what Starfleet could not explain, and why Kirk's hand went against the glass.

The author's note calls this work "meta-fic," but except for a specific mention of "TWOK" it reads like a wholly in-universe post-mission analysis, prepared by, perhaps, a respected military historian or political-science scholar, and delivered--not in an academic journal but in person at some high-level meeting, because the piece is informal, personal, and reflective--to very senior Federation policy makers and Starfleet leadership.

And this author can write: the style, pacing, and structure of the story are all very skillfully handled.

The story captured my interest from the very first line. An impressive find.

In other news, I was saddened to learn that Nicholas Brendon had passed away (so soon after James Van Der Beek, who became famous around the same time, a time when I was becoming an adult along with the characters that they played, and after Michelle Trachtenberg also passed.)

So, Blood and Tea and Red String (2006), the love child of one person, made over the course of over 10 years, is my new favourite thing. If you want to make a dark fairy tale, embrace the fact it's still a fairy tale, which this movie certainly did.

Basically, the aristocratic Mice ask the Oak Creatures to make them the doll of their desires. They do, but they live the doll so much they offer the Mice's money back to keep it. The Mice steal it.

Reality and fiction mix. I feel like there's something about women being treated as objects (and then there's the spider woman). Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Maybe it's just a surreal piece of art.

(Also, the water is made of, I think, that very transparent film one can use to wrap food or whatever. Lovely!)

I was really looking forward to playing more The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Saturday night, but when I finally had all my immediate obligations taken care of and could settle onto the couch with my Pro Controller and some fizzy water that evening, I ran into another apparent glitch with the port. This one, I could not troubleshoot my own way out of, not with the help of the entire internet. I tried all the settings and configurations that I know. Pro Controller v. Joy Cons. Motion controls v. button controls. Docked v. handheld. I did that section of the story over and over. (I can't go back to a save file before the section, because SkSw only has one manual save file and one auto-save file, unlike more recent games.)

Update: Yep, the problem was me, not the software or the hardware! :-D

I could open the site again yesterday. Perhaps this is a reminder not to become too invested in one site. Anyway, it was (fictional) Itadori Yuuji's birthday on March 20. Happy birthday my dude!

On a whim, I signed up for a week-long round of Creating over at

communal_creators, a community for working on creative projects. The current round is 7 days, starting today. I signed up for "60 minutes a day averaged over the week". It's honour-based and basically an incentive to work on my projects while others do the same, so you can cheer on each other.

My current projects

patchwork: add the lining and back of my table cloth, join with front, quilt them together

clothing: sew a pair of the boxer shorts: pieces are cut -> sew them

bookbinding: I have 2 projects going on:
a. 2 copies of SassySnowperson's The Dwarf Queen: currently the text block is almost done, to do: add endpapers + sand edges + add headband and spine support, create case, join textblocks and cases
b. 3 copies of a 2-part series (currently secret because it's a surprise for the author who's a friend of mine), i.e. 6 books, to do: sew the signatures of 3× part 2 together; for all 6: add endpapers, glue & round, sand edges, add headband & spine support. create all 6 cases, join textblocks and cases

The Real Jerk's co-founder dies at 69.

Ed Pottinger's death is very sad news. Until mobility issues intervened, spouse and I were regular customers at The Real Jerk ever since its very first incarnation (a storefront on the north side of Queen near Greenwood) back in the 1980s. We were so happy when the restaurant relocated to Queen and Broadview because it was closer to work and thus an easier destination for takeout for both staff and clients. I really hope the restaurant (now even closer to the old studio, at Carlaw and Gerrard) continues to flourish.

A medical drama that takes the medicine part very seriously and is very careful in its messages about bias and prejudice within the medical system. A story that takes all its characters seriously, and presents all of them as three-dimensional people with their strengths and weaknesses, their likes and dislikes, who aren't always in top form, who fail some things and excel at others ... characters that aren't uniquely good or bad, and I mean that in the way that I don't feel like the story/the writers tell us who to like. A story in which the bad guy is budget cutting and the structural bigotry in the medical system (half joking). A story in which the patients are treated with respect.

It's intense, so after having watched the first season I needed a little break and haven't started the currently ongoing season 2 yet, but I definitely will.

I've seen some of the discourse on tumblr and it's mostly about how some characters are good(TM) or bad(TM) because of how they handle some situations, or interact with other characters. I'm curious to see how I'll think about that when I watch season 2, but my guess is that at the basis of it all will be this: People are complex.
(And also fandom racism, misogyny and antisemitism. Gah.)

The format of the show is very interesting too: each episode (which is almost 1h long) tells us about 1 in-story hour of a shift in the ER. It makes you feel the intensity of these days, how much happens at the same or in a short time, how long such a day can get. I feel that it also gives you the impression of almost being a part of it.

Norman Osborn was looking at the latest email regarding a replacement for the Goblin Glider when the assistant messaged him.

“The Fourth Vigilante is here to see you, sir.”

“Let her in.”

“Yes, sir.”

A minute later, the Enigma stormed in, with her hands glowing faintly.

“I know why you’re here, Sandi,” he said after the doors were closed.

“Do you?” the Enigma asked, as the glow intensified.

“You’re going to ask me why I am having you and the others followed. The answer should be obvious.”

“That you don’t want us to be in your way as you plot to gain more control over Lawndale?”

“That is a strong word,” Osborn said.

“That is what you’re doing.”

“You don’t have proof of that, and I know you’re not in the school paper.”

“I’m not, but, like, I am still investigating what you are up to, along with whatever else in Lawndale that you may not be responsible for,” the Enigma sot

“So, you’re not seeing the hand of Oscorp in everything?”

“No. There is a line between suspicion and conspiracy theories.”

“But I’m sure you’re engaging in the latter regarding SpiderGirl,” Osborn taunted.

“I’m not! She is overhyped, playing up the fact that she is Lawndale’s first superhero, and getting the credit for everything.”

“That is why I am doing what I’m doing!”

“No it isn’t,” the Enigma shot back. “You want to bring her down, as well as Ninja Talon, the Shadow and Dafoanairi.”

“I neither confirm nor deny, but I say that you are a variable that I could capture right now.”

The Enigma raised a forcefield. “Not without a fight and a lot of damage to this office, and you would have to explain to Harry why his friend disappeared.”

“That’s true. But that doesn’t mean I can’t try, or make something up.”

“You’re going to test me? You think I haven’t prepared?”

“I know you have some ace up your sleave, but yes,” Osborn responded become pressing a button and a panel opened revealing several of those pumpkin bombs.

Dafoanairi was ready, especially when she saw the window of the office open and one of the Enigma’s energy projections was shot out. She quickly moved to the window as the Enigma ran out.

“I know someone else is there,” Osborn said from inside the office.

Dafoanairi remained silent; she didn’t want Osborn to try to identify her from her voice, even if she was disguising it by pitching it higher. She let down a rope to a lower ledge.

“Let’s go. I did what I came to do,” the Engima said.

‘Which wasn’t much,’ Dafoanairi thought.
