Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death
Characters: Sheev Palpatine | Emperor Palpatine | Darth Sidious, Darth Vader
Additional Tags: Drabble
Summary:
The Force was his slave, and it was flowing so strongly. All of his life, he had waited for this moment, when he would truly be the last master of it. There was no need to replace his underling, and the boy would be dead before that machinery ceased to function. He was the only one who would —
WHAT?!
NO!
It wasn't possible! He shrieked and lost control of the Force Lightning, but knew it was striking his puppet.
That traitor!
After all he'd done for him?!
His scream echoed in his own ears, all the way to the core.

Birdfeeding
Jun. 19th, 2025 01:18 pmysabetwordsmithToday is partly sunny and mild. It rained yesterday.
I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- We went out for a while and saw the library wildflower meadow, Fox Ridge, and the Charleston Food Forest.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I refilled the thistle feeder that was half empty.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I sowed 5 pots with yellow raspberries.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I did more work around the patio.
EDIT 6/19/25 -- I picked up sticks from the south side of the driveway and dumped them in the firepit.
Lots of fireflies are coming out. :D

Jun. 19th, 2025 01:16 pmysabetwordsmithNew butterfly species wows scientists: 'This discovery reveals a lineage shaped by 40,000 years of evolutionary solitude'
The Satyrium semiluna, or half-moon hairstreak, is a small gray butterfly that looks like a moth at first glance. The wildflower lovers are widespread across North America, from the Sagebrush steppe to the montane meadows of the Rocky Mountains.
But tucked away in the southeastern corner of Alberta, Canada, another colony of butterflies flaps across the Blakiston Fan landform of Waterton Lakes National Park.
Until now, they were thought to be a subpopulation of half-moon hairstreaks — until scientists made a phenomenal discovery: They were a new species of butterfly that had hidden in plain sight for centuries.
The researchers, who recently published their findings in the scientific journal ZooKeys, defined the new species as Satyrium curiosolus.

Deadloch: Horsehair by pint pot Judas
Jun. 19th, 2025 10:02 pmmific posting in fancakeFandom: Deadloch
Characters/Pairings: Eddie Redcliffe/Dulcie Collins
Rating: Teen
Length: 2518
Content Notes: Internalised homophobia, unreliable narrator, political correctness and Eddie aren't even in the same universe
Creator Links: pintpotjudas on AO3
Themes: Female relationships, Backstory, Ambiguous relationships
Summary: Just Eddie, musing on hair. And lesbians. And herself, a bit. (She's meant to be thinking about the case.)
Set in a lull (???) in episode five, or thereabouts.
Reccer's Notes: The detective partnership of Eddie and Dulcie is central to Deadloch, and it's "enemies to friends" in canon, but with a tantalising hint of maybe-polyamory at the very end of the show. In this story, Eddie thinks about lesbians in general (Deadloch's full of lesbians), her odd fascination with Dulcie's long, thick, hair, and remembers a female friendship from her teens. It's a believable character study where we understand a bit more about Eddie and see the beginnings of her attraction to Dulcie, even if Eddie's still mostly in denial. Interesting, and well written, with great characterisation and Eddie's usual hilarious and colourful turns of phrase.

Caeneus and Photis by pukaon (SFW)

Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Caeneus & Photis
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium: digital art
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: pukaon on tumblr
Why this piece is awesome: I'm a sucker for a dog, and this one has three heads to pat! Nice contrast between the underworld denizens being grayscale and the meadow in colour.
Link: Canaeus and Photis (not sure what the point of the YT video is - it's a music track, maybe for atmosphere? Anyway, I'm just reccing the Caeneus pic)

2 original short stories with biblical themes
Jun. 18th, 2025 08:30 amverylongfarewell posting in betapleaseFandom: Original (The Lover of Lilith)
Characters/Pairings: (Virgin) Mary/Lilith
Rating & Warnings: Explicit; since this story is based on the myth of Lilith and the portrayal of Mary in the Bible, religious themes are unavoidable; first time sex and also magical F/F impregnation (not futa).
Estimated Fic Length: 6K
Notes: This short story is for a submission call. I already have an editor looking at it, but I could use a second pair of eyes. I'm ESL and while some of my Danglish (Danish-English) is intentional, some of it is not, and I could really use some help weeding out the latter. I could also use a more trained smut gaze than my own on the sex parts. I use a deliberately flowery language, but I still want it to read as "proper" smut and could use help there.
Fandom: Original (No Room In the Inn)
Characters/Pairings: (Virgin) Mary/Lilith
Rating & Warnings: Mature; portrayal of pregnancy and childbirth; coming out-metaphors and a general allegory for LGBT+-people getting thrown out by parental figures.
Estimated Fic Length: 1500-ish words
Notes: Same as above, minus the submission call and sex parts.
