I think it's really nice to see Kaleidoscope World still open. It wasn't a good fit for me but it's a beautifully crafted site that speaks to the creators thoughtfulness in every single detail. Everyone is extremely nice and welcoming. I highly recommend it for those of you looking for something light-hearted, whimsical, and extremely creative.

i’ll never not be embarrassed about reading fanfiction, but it truly makes me so happy. so many fanfics are written as professionally as a published book, they just use characters we already know and love, and i’ll never not feel indebted to the people who put hours into writings just for silly little people on the internet to read and fawn over. so to any fanfic writer out there, i owe you my happiness :)

i've seen a lot of dp fans in the dpxdc fandom talk about not having access to comics so here. it's completely free, good quality scans (for most things), basically any dc comic you could want is there. you should have an adblocker but the ads aren't the worst if you don't, just noticeable and annoying. you're not gonna get a virus, i've been using the site for years, as have many other fans.

if you genuinely want to read the comics, take advantage of the sites comic fans have been using. there's new and old stuff and everything in between. crossovers too. whatever you want to read, you'll find there.

#it was genuinely surprising to see people talk about inaccessibility and cost of comics here #like ik most of you arent dc fans but i was still surprised #literally everyone in the dc fandom knows about this and uses it regularly #i just forgot that people who arent comics fan wouldnt know about the free comic sites lol #new runs are updated too! its not just the old stuff! #so no you dont need a comic store or a shit ton of money to read the comics #dpxdc #if we're talking movies and shows then use fmovies #DEF use an adblocker (and vpn if you have one) for that though #and since this is directed at dp fans id highly suggest watching the bat.man scooby doo crossover! #its amazing and imo is a great example of mixing bat.man with a more comedic child friendly vibe #bat.man is so goofy in that movie i love it aldhg #oh man... thats making me think of dpxdcxsd crossover now... #is the acronym for scooby doo sd? that feels wrong #well anyway if you want to read the comics for free you can lol #remember! the dc fandom has been here for decades! we have all the resources you need!! dont be afraid to look or ask! #and if you dont know where to start reading - just pick your favorite character and find a masterlist made by an obsessed fan #and start there lol #but if anyone wants recs let me know and ill be happy to help :)

i was cursed by a witch and turned into a shrub!? by fried_squid [with art !!]

completed | T | 4,881 words

Atsumu litters in a witch's garden and is turned into a shrub in a nearby wetland as retribution. At least Kiyoomi is there to keep him some company while he waits for the curse to be broken. // the best blend of urban fantasy and crack taken seriously <3

hope is the thing with feathers by harubo

Kiyoomi wakes to Miya banging on his door, yelling words that put the fear of god in him. “Omi-kun, get out here, we’re gonna be fathers.” // such a cute accidental baby [bird] acquisition and get together fic :D

Sakusa Kiyoomi wears braces. Atsumu is fond. // a cute and fluffy highschool au told in snippets

labels by to_andromeda_and_back

completed | T | 2,922 words

Atsumu bought himself a label maker for his and Sakusa’s 1 year wedding anniversary. The same wedding they neglected to tell their team about. So, when Sakusa started showing up to practice with a different label stuck to him everyday, the Jackals couldn’t understand why he tolerated it. Until he showed up with a label reading ‘my stupid (un)loving husband’. // fave relationship reveal [expect their relationship was never a secret in the first place]

no fucking way by wrunic

completed | M | 1,998 words

Maybe Kiyoomi wouldn’t have to say anything. Natural escalation, he told himself, shifting his hips just enough for Atsumu to notice. Atsumu pulled back, breathing hard. He looked down at Kiyoomi’s lap, then back at his face, now wearing an extremely self-satisfied smirk. “There’s a new ramen place down the street.” // ace atsumu and the mortifying ordeal of communicating with your partner, a beloved fic !!!

there is a plethora of good x-files fanfics out there and i've just started to develop the problem of reading a very good one and not being able to find it again. because of this - and because all of these are genuinely novel worthy and the writers are INSANELY talented - i've decided to compile a list of some of my absolute favorites. some of these are from ao3 & some of them i found on other websites, such as x-libris and the gossamer project. i hope you enjoy these as much as i did and do. they mean the world to my romantic heart.

incrementum by lepusarcticus (explicit) - this was the first x-files fanfic i ever remember reading. i was trying desperately not to spoil the show for myself and i found out that this fic followed along the narrative, which was a godsend. i got the best of both worlds: a delectable, angsty passionate mulder/scully fic (in which they fucked from day 1) and no spoilers. it was so so so so fun reading this alongside watching the show. this writer is brilliant

omens by lepusarcticus (explicit) - i was not lying when i said this writer is brilliant. this entire thing reads like a novel and i could not for the life of me put it down when i stumbled upon it. its angsty and interesting, and could very well be another episode of the x-files because the case mulder and scully are one is so compelling. it is not easy feat to write something this good. chris carter, eat your heart out

triptych by iconicscullyoutfits (not rated but i'd say mature) - THIS WAS SO FUCKING GOOD. i can't speak highly enough about this one. its an au where mulder is married to diana fowley when he meets scully. its so so so so amazing. like i'd very well call this literature because it expanded my mind (i learned a great deal from this, especially from the chapter ice). i think diana was a very interesting character and i feel as though this fic treats her with the interest she deserves. the writing in this one is simply insane too - i'm envious of it and so so so in love with it.

love in all the wrong places by sisterspooky1013 (explicit) - mulder and scully accidentally have cybersex with each other while trying out online dating group chats. what more can i say? (also i applaud this author for making mulder's online handle allshookup61. that's so fucking mulder)

universal invariants (set from 1 to early season 2) and its sequel, laws of motion (set season 5) (both explicit) by syntax6 - these both hold such a special place in my heart. it is an au that takes on the idea that scully's bf (who was cut from the pilot, never to see the light of day) stays in the picture and there when dana starts working with fox. universal invariants makes me want to weep to because dana and fox are both so young and earnest and stupid! and laws of motion is great because they're still stupid but they're wiser about it. this is very dana and fox. i love, love, love the parts of universal invariants that cover dana's abduction arc. god these are GOOD.

arizona highways by fialka (explicit) - if you're one of those girlies who really likes an x-files episode that has a lot of case-file and scully going on, this one is FOR you. it is angsty in the worst of ways, covering more of what we see in the episodes christmas carol and emily. this is another one that i would call a novel, both in length and content. it is great and it is a very good dive into the character of scully and how she handles problems in her life

heart's desire by malibusunset (explicit) - this another really great scully-focused fic, where mulder is being a bit of an ass - as he is prone to - but she makes him come to his senses accidentally. i love a good jealous mulder and i love it even more when scully isn't exactly aware she's making him that way. this is so good that i stayed up an entire night reading it. you should too!

the guts / the incision / cauterize by wtfmulder (not all of the chapters are explicit but i would call this explicit in general) - this one is so fucking angsty it made me ache incredibly. it is a sucker punch to the gut that only the lovers (or rather, dedicated haters) of the diana/fox/dana situationship can truly appreciate. also, if you like your mulder a bit of an ass (i do! i think he really can be! i think its good to talk about!) this author is for you!!!

doorway to gods by wtfmulder (explicit) - a fic where mulder & scully go investigate a supposed portal to other dimensions shortly after scully recovers from cancer, and they both find themselves in separate hellish alternative universes where other mulder & scullys aren't doing so well. this is angsty, TOP TIER angsty. some of the scenes from this i think about often still and i read this a month ago. also this is hot. i can't not mention that small fact

the tiger complex by longgunguy (i'd say r for graphic violence but no sex or anything) - i'll be real, there isn't a whole lot of mulder/scully romance in this thing, aside from the a hand hold and a lot of quiet affection but this IS the x-files. in another world, this fic is an episode and it is brutal. you'll be biting your nails as you make your way through this one. its got a great cast of original characters and an incredible case-file, up there with an episode like ice.

#fic rec. #x-files #x-files fic rec #x files #i love this fandom. there is so much fic and talented people #like how COOL is it that they've got their own organized fic sites??? #also this is probably not the last one of these i do. this is just what i can remember/what i found from the stuff i've been enjoying latel #i know i've certainly forgotten some

The Love Song of the Square Root of Minus One (i) by Richard Siken

I am the wind and the wind is invisible, all the leaves tremble but I am invisible, blackbird over the dark field but I am invisible, what fills the balloon and what it moves through, knot without rope, bloom without flower, galloping without the horse, the spirit of the thing without the thing, location without dimension, without a within, song without throat, word without ink, wingless flight, dark boat in the dark night, shine without light, pure velocity, as the hammer is a hammer when it hits the nail and the nail is a nail when it meets the wood and the invisible table begins to appear out of mind, pure mind, out of nothing, pure thinking, hand of the mind, hand of the emperor, arm of the empire, void and vessel, sheath and shear, and wider, and deeper, more vast, more sure, through silence, through darkness, a vector, a violence, and even farther, and even worse, between, before, behind, and under, and even stronger, and even further, beyond form, beyond number, I labor, I lumber, I fumble forward through the valley as winter, as water, a shift in the river, I mist and frost, flexible and elastic to the task, a fountain of gravity, space curves around me, I thirst, I hunger, I spark, I burn, force and field, force and counterforce, agent and agency, push to your pull, parabola of will, massless mass and formless form, dreamless dream and nameless name, intent and rapturous, rare and inevitable, I am the thing that is hurtling towards you…

"In a future where intergalactic empires use wormholes to compete for territorial dominance, Daniel Delgado has always been a pretty secretive guy. His one goal as a space explorer is to embark on a voyage into the Voidhole, a mysterious anomaly that has swallowed many lives for the sake of the galactic empires’ technological advancements. Daniel may be able to keep his complicated feelings hidden from his few loved ones, but there’s nothing he can hide from what awaits him on the other side of the Voidhole.

This comic may contain fantasy violence involving alien creatures and darker themes related to mental health. Nothing super crazy, but it’s better to be safe than sorry."

I'm afraid I am, by definition, gen Z. So I do realize that I'm probably talking about people my age and/or older than me, but

what do kids these days do on discord?

And by that I mean the fandom side of discord. I was under the impression that it was for gaming people talking to each other while they play their little games, but I read more and more about it in connection to fandoms. Do people talk??? With their voices???? Or just chat? I can't imagine

Also, it feels like an elite club, like you have to get links or invites or something? I mean so far I've had a nice impression of the codywan fandom (no, I cannot move on) but this sounds a bit like something out of Mean Girls, elite clubs, and cliques, and such

(old) bollywood actresses (1)

why am i making this post...... no reason apart from being incredibly queer abt women (not romantic not sexual but a secret third thing (fan)). join me etc.

ruby myers (stage name sulochana)

DADASAHEB PHALKE AWARD WINNER WHO CHEERED!!!!!!!!!!!

born in poona (now pune) in 1907 in british india, ruby myers was a silent film actress of bhagdadi jewish ancestry. she was approached by mohan bhavnani from kohinoor films, and though she was initially hesitant (acting was a very.... suspicious? dubious? profession for women at the time) she agreed with little knowledge of how to act. she ended up becoming a huge star under bhavnani, and then moved on to imperial film company, and became the highest paid actress in india at the time (5k/mo inr salary).

after sound got introduced, she took a break for a year (to learn hindustani which she wasn't fluent in) and came back with madhuri (1932)--- this is a remale of madhuri (1928) but w sound--- and became a star again. other remakes of her silent movies were bombay ki billi (1936) (remake of wildcat of bombay 1927), and anarkali (1935), a remake of anarkali (1928). unfortunately i don't think even one of these films survived.

she was also in a popular pairing with actor d billimoria from 1933-39. she faded into obscurity after their split.

she was also in another anarkali (1953), where she played salim's mother, and had a small role as a nun in dostana (1980).

she died in mumbai in 1983.

florence ezekiel (nadira)

born in 1932 in bhagdad, and living in nagpada (south bombay) after her parents moved for business reasons, nadira was a famous bollywood actress who usually played westernised roles (or anglo-indian ones). she is mostly well known for her role as julie's mother margaret in julie (1975) and maya in shree 420 (1956). the latter typecasted her in seductress roles. she has worked with several actors like sridevi (in julie), nargis (in shree 420), srk (josh (2000)).

fun fact! a filmmaker (idk who he was) once called her up for a role to which she replied along the lines of "not now i'm drunk and naked." he never called her again.

less fun fact! she was an alcoholic and had an alcohol-related liver disorder. she died in 2006 in a hospital in tardeo.
