Day 14 - Death Note - Amane Misa/Rem

Feb. 15th, 2026 12:41 pm
[personal profile] budouka in [community profile] halfamoon
Title: Three Sins
Fandom: Death Note
Pairing: Amane Misa/Rem
Word count: 1,939

Summmary: A god falling for a human — like an unfunny joke already told twice. Why does Rem love Misa? She doesn't know. The only way to figure her feelings out is to write about them, so she takes a pen and tries to make sense of her life until this point.

My apologies for not posting this on the 14th; I didn't get on my laptop until just now so it went up late. But posting for the WIP Big Bang International Fanworks Day Mini Bang 2026 starts today (February 15th)! Posting goes from today until March 1st, and while it is primarily for fic under 7500 words, but if you didn't finish art for the 2025 WIP Big Bang or fic for the 2025 WIP Reverse Bang (regardless of length) you can also post it during this time.

There's no scheduled posting days; whenever you finish, feel free to post the bragging rights on Tumblr or Dreamwidth with this specific form for your fanworks. It allows you bragging rights for finishing your fic/art, and also links to the location of your fic (it should be up somewhere like AO3/FF.net/your personal Tumblr under a tag/any other fic or journal community) in its completion*. We also have an AO3 collection for this round where you can post the AO3 postings of your fic and art to.

These are the bragging rights form for the 2026 WIP Big Bang International Fanworks Day Mini Bang (don't worry about tagging posts on your Dreamwidth post if you post here; we will use a system we've determined):

Project Title:
Fandom:
Link:
Summary:
Warnings:
Characters:
Pairings:
When I Started:**
How I Lost My Shit:**
How I Finished My Shit:**

And here are easy to copy formats with HTML formating:



(You will have to delete the <*br> tags by hand and add breaks, unfortunately, Dreamwidth does not like the textboxes...)

Feel free to celebrate finishing your works, and don't be modest! Shout it to the world! We all come from so many fandoms, but we all came together to finish our shit, and that's something to shed a proud tear over.

*If for some reason, you can't post this yourself, you can always email this information to the mods, and we'll post it for you. You can also post via proxy, just let us know that you will be doing so.
** These are optional but encouraged

The Jewish War: First half of Book 1

I am super not promising to always have this on Saturday, but yay long weekend!

Last week: I know some of you reading this study Talmud -- Josephus asserts at the very beginning that the "sufferings of the Jews" (presumably, in context of Josephus' writing, Titus destroying the temple, etc. though we won't get there for a while) are their own fault: "no foreign power is to blame." It was pointed out that the Talmud may (?) have its own opinion(s) as to whether the destruction of the Temple and the resulting diaspora was divine punishment? And regardless of the former, may also blame Titus? (I also don't know yet, because we haven't gotten there yet and won't for a while, whether Josephus himself thinks it's divine punishment or just plain old temporal consequences. My vague recollection of Feuchtwanger's Josephus is that he was thinking more of the latter, which is also very much borne out by this week's reading.)

This week: First half of Book 1 (Ch 22 / Par 444):

Okay, I must say the first part of this was a slog for me -- flitting between a lot of people I didn't know. Good thing we have this reading group or I might not have got through it. As it was, I had to take copious notes to even make a stab at writing up a summary (I won't promise I'll do this every week, but I had a little extra time and quite frankly I knew I wouldn't remember who any of these people were next week if I didn't), and I'm going to put them in comments so this post doesn't get super long. At least Josephus felt it was "inappropriate to go into the early history of the Jews," which would have made it really long. Anyway, it got substantially more interesting once Herod showed up!

Next week: Finish book 1.

The big lie of rotisserie chicken

(Disclaimer: title is an exaggeration)

It's commonly said, particularly on Bluesky right now, that US supermarket rotisserie whole chicken is as cheap or cheaper than buying a whole raw chicken, with many people wondering how that's possible. A common reason suggested is "loss leader". More cynically, one might suspect of chickens about to expire, thus providing basically free input. (There's an independent grocer-deli in Montreal that I suspect did exactly this: their cooked drumsticks that I bought had a suspicious whiff to them.)

But why do people believe cooked chicken is cheaper than raw? Apparently because they compare the cost of cooked and raw chickens... as if all chickens were the same size. Or as if stores drew randomly from the chicken supply to cook. But really, given that raw chicken is sold by weight, and cooked chickens are sold by chicken, why wouldn't a store pull the smallest chickens to cook and sell at a markup?

Read more... )

As for the "Big Lie" in the title, that's not the stores lying, per se. They offer you a chicken, and they sell you a chicken. But the belief circulating that it's comparable to a chicken you'd buy to cook on your own? That's generally a falsehood, if not a lie.

Title: Two Lines
Fandom: The Big Bang Theory
Character: Penny
Rating: G
Word Count: 321
Summary: Sometimes you have to let go of one dream to allow another one in
A/N: For the record, I hated how "The Big Bang Theory" handled pregnancies. Bernadette was adamant about not having kids, but that seemed to get swept under the rug once her pregnancy was revealed. Penny was the same way, but the show gave her a pregnancy storyline in the very last show of the series. Why? Couldn't she just been a happy woman without kids? So, I got down off my soapbox and wrote an initial reaction for her that seemed to fit with the theme of today.

I fell down and hurt my shoulder this morning but I went to the deYoung anyway, saw some very cool art including some giant oil paintings, Native Amercian art and historical photos of the Bay area. Also got some goodies to eat including an Italian sausage and meatball hero and some muffins and brownies and lollipops.
Public transit still sucks though.

Bronx trip.

The Orchid Show never disappoints. It's always a breath of air and a flash of bright light to remind you to hold on until springtime finally arrives. I went today with a friend, and while it was the reason we tromped up there, it was also excuse for the tromping at the same time - mostly to see each other. Spending time with another adult in a social setting is a welcome feeling.

Getting there wasn't hard, just time consuming. Walking around was made easier by sticking to paths that were already plowed, so while I missed going into the forest, we saw a lot of it just by looking over and taking in what we could from the outside. As for the exhibit, this year it was New York City themed, done by a regional artist with a charming sense of humor - in addition to the big installations, which were themselves things like a pizza parlor, a fire escape, a brownstone covered in flowers, there were smaller constructions scattered throughout, like a steam vent that was accompanied by a bit of how-to on orchid care.

There were a fair number of small birds, a decent murder of crows, and no small number of all-black stealth mode squirrels. I kept having to point out the squirrels and birds to people, who were perpetually delighted to see them - so I can't be that upset they didn't notice, since they got to see them just the same.

We have terrible platforming, shortcut porn, hostile shrubbery, BOXRATS!!!, extremely smashable vases, “amazing chest ahead” (male), “amazing chest ahead” (female), “amazing chest ahead” (mimic), weirdly sexualized moaning (male only), repeatedly falling down inside a giant hollow tree to your death, Moss Lady, a magic medieval snakeskin-covered gramophone, hidden areas hidden behind other hidden areas hidden behind illusory walls, combat skirts (unisex), giant snakes with horse teeth, pretending to be an egg, quite a lot of jank, a very angry elderly cat who scolds you in bad faux-Shakespearian and is also a faction leader, the secret lake underneath the bottom of the world, “jolly co-operation,” chibi mindflayers, clams full of skulls, a trident that lets you do a silly little dance, ridiculous ragdoll corpse physics, a really cool double helix staircase probably based on the Château de Chambord, ball/crab things that turn up unexpectedly in your game and try to magic missile you because somebody in another game lost some stuff, getting punched to death by mushrooms, and Gender.

This is such a weird game (complimentary).
