SGA: Walk Beside Me by Rachel500

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Gen. Teyla Emmagan & Sam Carter, Evan Lorne
Rating: Teen
Length: 8824
Content Notes: canon-typical violence, minor character death
Creator Links: Rachel500 on AO3, ArwenLune on AO3, ArwenLune on Audiofic Archive
Themes: Female relationships, Action/adventure, Friendship, Women being awesome

Summary: When a diplomatic mission is interrupted by the Wraith, Sam and Teyla wrestle their personal demons to work together and find a way back to Atlantis.

Reccer's Notes:
This is set soon after Sam Carter comes to Atlantis to replace Elizabeth, and both she and Teyla initially grapple with her new role. Teyla, unlike John and Rodney, had no prior knowledge of Sam Carter and can't help missing Elizabeth and not fully trusting Carter. Then a mission goes badly wrong and they're thrown together, and have to find a way through their feelings as they deal with the dangerous situation. It's a gripping read with interesting character explorations and a satisfying ending. There's also a podfic version, excellently read by ArwenLune.

Prometheus by dxcstrange-stuff (SFW)

Fandom: Kaos
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Prometheus
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium: digital art
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: dxcstrange-stuff on tumblr
Why this piece is awesome: dxcstrange-stuff really likes Prometheus and has drawn him several times. I like this one especially, where he's giving humanity the gift of fire. Nice movement in the swirling lines, and lighting from the fire.

Politics

Governor JB Pritzker (Dem IL) to Rep. Mary Miller: "I refuse to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler."

I can't remember the last time I felt so represented by one of my actual representatives. \o/

Follow Friday 6-13-24: Hetalia

Today's theme is Hetalia. Initially a webcomic, Hetalia was later adapted as a serialized manga and an anime series. The series personifies the nations of the world into immortal anthropomorphic characters and presents an allegorical (and often satirical) interpretation of political, historical, and cultural events throughout history and the present day. This riff is a personal favorite.

The Billiard Room of Chaos - 3

Anyone want to guess who the murderer was, what was the weapon and in which room did it take place?

The first wheel spun tonight and I didn't love the result. But it is what it is.

The first topic is going up, and the results of the first spin, will be announced tomorrow night. ,

Just wanted to make sure you have something to speculate on when you wake up in the morning. IF you wake up in the morning. *cues music filled with dread*

Sign ups are still happening - so tell a friend! Or even better, tell someone you want to see tortured!!! https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1182845.html

Insect Apocalypse

Here's another post about the insect apocalypse, including a trophic cascade devastating other species especially insectivores. This one proposes electromagnetic radiation as a causal factor, which may or may not be true, and is not being studied. It would be nice if that were a cause, because it is a factor under human control and thus could be fixed.

Round 151, Hour -23

Hey friends! Welcome to Round 151 of Fic_Rush! If you've got writing to do, you've got people to do it with! And if you just need moral support to survive the debilitating anxiety of living through the 21st century while being an artist, we can do that too! And of course, we can always do dishes...eventually! Anyway, what are your nefarious plans for the weekend?
