an undigested bit of beef @mrreciprocity.bsky.social · 17h... Now that I say that, the trend does frequently smack of "fanfic au"--taking an existing story and rewriting it to suit your tastes, your tropes, your preferred themes, your ships, your ocs... Not just updating it, personalizing it to the creators' taste and interests. 100
an undigested bit of beef @mrreciprocity.bsky.social · 17hSome of them, I think, are the closely-related "studio wants to use their safe, profitable IP but doesn't actually care about the end product, so they give it to creators who slap it like a coat of paint onto whatever story they feel like telling". No way WEDNESDAY isn't a reskinned tumblr fic. 140

an undigested bit of beef @mrreciprocity.bsky.social · 09/10/2026A big part of that gap is probably because Egon got a bit of forced socialization early on, when she got tangled in a neighbor's hockey net and had to be extracted and rushed to the vet by my partner & her sister-in-law. She's been more human-tolerant ever since. 100
an undigested bit of beef @mrreciprocity.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Egon is still a little shy of me--sometimes I can pet her, even on the paws and belly, but sometimes she's leery--but otherwise has decided she's cool with being baby. Ray is still in "find a cave and stay there" mode, which is honestly much more normal. 100
an undigested bit of beef @mrreciprocity.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Kittens (who, again, have never lived indoors) went to the vet yesterday, and were widely lauded as basically the chilliest cats to ever endure a medical examination (including our extant cats, who are already pretty well-behaved). Also, as we had begun to suspect, Egon is a girl. 140

an undigested bit of beef @mrreciprocity.bsky.social · 08/10/2026We'd probably have taken their mom in, as well, but a) two additional cats is already pushing it for this apartment and b) she had a second litter a couple weeks ago.

This is their first time properly indoors, and they seem cautiously optimistic. 100

an undigested bit of beef @mrreciprocity.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Like, when we say "art connects us", that's true, but I think it does so indirectly--it doesn't connect the observer to the artist (if there is one), it connects both to an external locus, and can connect us to innumerable other things at the same time. 000
an undigested bit of beef @mrreciprocity.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I've always been pretty far down the "a work stands on its own" end of the spectrum--which is not to say I devalue the role of the creator (hell no), but I think the magic of art (& beauty, generally) is that it exists outside of us. Connecting to it, as observer or creator, anchors us to the world. 100
