We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

- that latter is entirely true. Heat is terrible. (it was windy and heat index of 100+, and gross out and just awful)

- I need to make myself a Narnia icon.

- Aside from the bits I've been gathering up and posting from the 3SF (I need to get 2024 up, too), I have actually written two Narnia fics. One of them far more crack-filled than the other.

Detours by Lamplight - just gen, me ranting in polite text about that stupid lamppost. I blame the BTS conversations, since they were all so pleased about how it looked like it grew out of the ground in the movie.

The Recruitment for the (Averted) Apocalypse Job - Leverage fusion, because that's how my brain works at 11 at night when absently thinking, Susan is Sophie, isn't she... It's a modern AU.

Aside from that, I've been reading through all of the Narnia tag (again), or the type of thing I want to read, at least. Reader fic? No, get that shit away from me, I've been muting those authors. Self-insert/OC/Girl Marries Peter and/or Ed fic? Not read, but not muted since it's not as terrible. Most slash I'm giving a pass (I'm sorry, dudes are boring, I don't read most of the Peter & Edmund on their own fic, either).

I have absolutely picked up Pevensies/everyone and Caspian/Pevensies even more than I had, though. Like, Caspian Had A Goal, and that was to bang each of them once they were old enough. I also don't mind Caspian/Peter or Caspian/Edmund. I don't mind Caspian/Susan, though if it's Susan's Only True Love Ever I'm very meh on it. Caspian/Lucy is adorable.

I am less bothered by the Pevensie incest fic than I once was. (I can't throw stones here, I've written it, even if I posted it anon) I don't mind it in any configuration, but I'm also... ambivalent about it. Once I've made up my mind how I want to load it on AO3, I'll upload the bulk of the 3SF fics (it's the titles, ok, it's always trying to come up with titles that stalls me. I hate titles. And summaries, while we're at it. Fuck them)

And on that note, I'm going back to glaring at this stupid fic that won't write itself. Maybe I will shift gears and work on something else.
rose_griffes: screencap of Diego Luna as Andor, with the word rebel (andor)

BOOK: The Shepherd’s Crown is the last Tiffany Aching novel by Terry Pratchett. I may have read it before? But I didn’t particularly remember it, and I wanted an audiobook to entertain me while doing a bunch of tedious chores, so Pratchett won out. And I enjoyed it: both the story and the narration.

TV: Andor, season two, five episodes in.
opinions about sounds (and more) hereThis isn’t the first show on Disney+ that has made me think “needs less soundtrack”. But I’m shocked that it’s this show–season one’s soundtrack was a huge part of the success of it all. I could tell just a few minutes into episode one of season two Nicholas Britell wasn’t doing the main soundtrack work.

Some of my less-enthusiastic response to season two is simply that I generally prefer origin stories to, er, the stuff that comes later. At any rate: Andor is still a very good show. Just not season one good, alas.

I am very pleased that Wilmon is back for season two: he’s the young man who threw a bomb during Maarva’s funeral/the riot that ensued. The actor has an interesting face, and the character was at a potentially interesting point in his story.

Other elements, sans real spoilers: there are two romantic relationships happening and I’m… at a loss for words about one of them. Other than maybe “Gah!” The other one is heartbreak waiting to happen, but it’s also plausible, so I’ll just wait for the fallout.
