Sudden awkward realization that Malcolm’s daemon has been “Asta” all along, I just took the spoken version as “Aster” with a British accent.

Have to go edit some roundup posts now…

(And here I was appreciating the celestial symbolism in how “Aster” means “star”!)

Spent some time this evening reviewing AO3’s character tags for His Dark Materials, along with The Book of Dust. There’s a handy tag format that only really picked up after I originally canonized most of them, “Petname | Fullname Character’s Pet”, as in “Alpine | Bucky Barnes’s Cat“. So I redid most of the daemon character tags to match that, as in “Asta | Malcolm Polstead’s Daemon“.

Some of them, it feels like overkill — not a lot of fans are likely to forget which Pantalaimon or Hester we’re talking about. But it’s really useful for the daemons whose names only came up briefly. Or maybe were only established outside the actual canon (e.g. author interviews, TV credits). Kyrillion, Jal, Grizal, Sergi…

The review also turned up some minor characters who weren’t canonized before because I couldn’t find info on them, and some characters who got newly-established full names after they were canonized. Also, at least one where the canonical had a typo. Whoops.

I have not audited the relationship tags to make sure they all match up. (Except the one with the typo.) To avoid overloading the servers, there’s a limit on how many tags each wrangler is supposed to rename per day, and doing the rels tonight would blow way past mine.

So that’s a future project.

I put most of my post-LBS reaction feelings as addendums in the liveblog roundup post, so I didn’t end up making a new microblogging thread about them.

( Just a thread for this one more thing. )

FANDOM: Sonic the Hedgehog
FIC LINK: Bee buzzing on AO3
AUTHOR LINK: Noiat
RATING/WARNING(S): G for General Audiences
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Completed One Shot / 1,241 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Charmy, Espio, Vector

FIC SUMMARY: Sometimes bees communicate with each other by buzzing, caused by the vibrations of their wings. Charmy discovers this and wants to try communicating with Espio through buzzing.

RECCER'S NOTES: A short and sweet moment at the Team Chaotix Detective Agency, where Charmy is his usual excitable self, Espio is an annoyed older brother who just wants peace and quiet, and Vector sleeps the whole time but his presence is still felt in spirit.

Personal rating 9/10

As always, my per-episode reactions are on bnha_fans! I'll just blab about the season (and series) as a whole here.

The end of an era! I've been watching BnHA since 2017, after a screenshot of Iida from the then-current OP passed through my Twitter timeline. I thought he was a nice, square boi so I started watching the anime ... and ended up binge-watching the available seasons in spurts until I caught up.

( Spoilers. )

As a whole, this season really drove home the point that most people—All for One not included lol—have the capacity for both good and bad, and things are never really black-and-white. While people are responsible for their own choices at the end of the day, society as a whole can still (and should be) improved to help everyone.

Random stuff:

I immediately wanted to read normal!AU fic of All for One and Yoichi, featuring AFO being a baka aniki, as soon as the backstory dropped 😂 I'm so predictable.
Y'all will never make me hate Iida's hair. He's my son, the goodest boi. The squarest son.
The art was consistently amazing throughout this season! Definitely went out with a bang on that front.

tried to get oomf into hockey and now she's obsessed with FUCKING HOLLANOV? THEY'RE 50 YEARS OLD

Or: Ten years, as seen through fandom.

Reccer's Notes: This is courtesy of a rec in

cathexys' journal. It's another fic told through snippets from invented social media posts across about ten years, following the development, within the universe of Heated Rivalry, of hockey rpf fandom, mainly focusing on Hollanov (Ilya/Shane). It's extraordinarily well done, and although the story of Shane and Ilya's decade-long love affair is the core thread, the real tale is of the rpf fandom, specifically a few devoted fans. The poignancy and brilliance of this fic is the portraits it paints of fanwriters and young fans, immersed in the fandom while they grow and develop, moving through their own life stages and dramas while posting about the hockey players they love, especially Hollanov. And in the end, of course, the Hollanov truthers are resoundingly vindicated. The formatting makes it clear that we're seeing posts on tumblr, livejournal, AO3, Reddit, Twitter, etc., with different types of fandom on each platform. Hilarious and touching, this is a wonderful read, and the details are meticulous and very funny.
PS: It may help to know in advance (as these may be hockey rpf terms with which I was unfamiliar) that 2481 is code for Hollander/Rozanov (their jersey numbers), and 2435 is Hollander/Pike. MHL is the Major Hockey League, HR's version of the NHL. Some details in the fic will probably only make sense if you've read the books.
PPS: Also, there's a fictional recs list by "ice knives" partway through, and I want to read ALL OF THEM!

Doing that meme that I saw floating around on my Reading page a while back because I currently lack the motivation to do anything else. (This took me way too long to write.)

How many letters of the alphabet have you used for [starting] a fic title? One fic per line, 'A' and 'The' do not count for 'a' and 't'. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count.

( Cut for length and some commentary! )
