When God hates you and mothers run away

I meant to mention this earlier today, but the day happened: "After the Red Sea" has been highlighted by Bogi Takács as part of eir #diversepoems series. I'm honored.

Courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] handful_ofdust's Tumblr: color photographs of women in the ATS in 1942. Some of those shots could be stills from The Gentle Sex (1943), but they're history.

Have now finished Season Two of Hannibal. Quoting [livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks: "Rocks fall, everybody Schrödinger." The season finale was extraordinarily beautifully filmed. Have now watched two more episodes of Twin Peaks (1990). It's wonderful; I am watching it with delight. Have also watched the first two episodes of Agent Carter (2014) and should write about them soon, because at the moment my reactions are a mostly positive incoherence centering around pulp sci-fi tropes, role reversals, excellent use of color and costume design, and Peggy Carter punching a lot of people, sometimes while holding a stapler. [edit: see comments!] I wish the show had slightly more budget and more characters of color, but it still has six episodes in which to fix the latter. I believe [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel when he says that lobster would have been too expensive to waste on a foley effect in 1946, but if that is my greatest historical complaint about a show, is it ever ahead of the pack. This is probably the most varied amount of television I have watched in a span of two days since I lived somewhere with a TV.

I cannot afford to fall into Flight Rising, but I have now been shown (by Rush) a breeding clan and there are some beautiful dragons in that world.

Kujen is a fop. *g* Edit: I instantiated him as a girl dragon (not that that's a problem for Kujen of all people) because originally, before I understood how the color combination "genetics" worked, I was going to breed him to Jedao and the game only allows m/f mating for some reason. ^_^ Alas, they would have very ugly dragon-babies.

Haiku is a rescue--she was one of those pretty but cheap dragons whom I bought on an impulse. The lizard named her for me so I am especially fond of her for that reason.

Khiruev is one of the two new POVs in Raven Stratagem. He's a Kel general. (The other new POV is Kel Brezan.) I randomly festoon my dragons with flowers because I like flowers. :p
