A couple of random fic recs while I remember them!

into fire and into ice by [archiveofourown.org profile] FroyoBoyo (Strangers from Hell, Jongwoo/Moonjo, 5.7K, E)
A sex pollen fic. It was hot, and it fit my mental characterisation for the characters, so a rec from me!

Swimming Upstream Into the Mouth of a Bear by [archiveofourown.org profile] pastelpom (Death Note, Misa, 2.3K)
An experimental fic reflecting on Misa’s in Death Note. I thought it was really neat!

The current state of me fannishly is ‘frantically trying to finish editing my Squid Game fic before season 3 comes out’ and by ‘frantically trying to finish’ I largely mean ‘procrastinating on’. I still have time! Barely!

Experimenting with the <details> tag

Experimenting with a thing [personal profile] pangolin20 advised over at [personal profile] gremdark's journal:

This is a "details" tag with no additional styling...
...and here is the additional detail inside the tag.


This is a "details" tag styled with "cursor:pointer"...
...and here is the additional detail inside the tag.


The second one has style="cursor:pointer" placed inside the details tag, and should make the whole thing more obviously interactable-with for mouse-users. (They should both be interactive via keyboard navigation.)

Edit: works as advertised! And with the second one, it is much more obvious that you can click both the arrow and the text and that something will happen if you do.

Two weeks ago, I bought my first smartphone.

Good-bye flip phone, we had some good times together. )

So. Smartphone. )

Anyway, if there's a killer app or usecase that you want to rec (or disrecommend!), or a thing you wish you'd known earlier, or a setting I should definitely turn off or on (I have an iPhone, if that helps), please feel free to mention it in comments. I'm still very much deciding what I want out of the thing, now that I have one.

Just got back from seeing Stephen Sondheim's Assassins, which is being put on by Fuse Theatre Ensemble, a queer theater group here in Portland.

I have no idea what Sondheim et al. originally conceived of the role of the Proprietor to be, but I can confidently say that the role was clearly meant to be played by a drag queen cosplaying America (Quesa D'Mondays). Larger than life in a sequin stars-and-stripes bustier, handing out guns, hugging people to her bosom, and whispering in their ears about Fame and Glory and the American Dream. Choices were made, and they were inspired.

I also had to laugh (never having seen the play before), that here we have yet another instance of Sondheim writing a beautiful love song that, in context, is one of the most fucked-up things you've ever heard.

Anyway, I enjoyed the production thoroughly. A couple of the voices had trouble competing with the orchestra, but not so much that I didn't enjoy the music, and there were supertitles for the lyrics/text, which was nice for catching all of Sondheim's wordplay. It runs for another two weeks, if anyone else is in town and might enjoy a fucked-up gremlin of a show about presidential assassinations (and doesn't mind prop guns too much).
