Please note that if Bluesky is hiding “graphic media” for you here, they are denying you a picture of the most beautiful man in the world, Jacob Anderson, characteristically covered in blood.

Currently so cross that the usual remedies - gardening, doing my messages, talking to my mother, ranting at my other half - have not worked even a little bit. May the ASOIAF fandom fall off a cliff.

Bringing this back to add Yaga to the list for October, which means I only need to find something to watch in August and September, and then 2026 will be sorted.

I've been looking at AI in fic spaces since these tools were released to the public, and it's not surprising that HR—huge numbers of new readers & writers in fandom, a promise of Manacled-like deals in the air—was where this melted down. @kaytiburt.bsky.social does a fantastic job reporting this:

A controversial anonymous document exposing Claude remnants in fics has collided with a fandom culture of production at hyper-speed.

did you know that the English words druid, trust, truth, betroth, and truce all share a root word with “tree”? this reflects the longstanding spiritual and symbolic significance of trees in many European cultures

When we wrapped this one up I told @gavia.bsky.social I was v impressed with how she managed to weave together all the different non-linear threads of this episode. A special challenge of a show for a very skilled recapper. 💖 On "apocalyptic forebodings and a trio of warped parental relationships":

The Vampire Lestat: Hurtling Towards End Times

In episode 4, “The Devil’s Road,” Lestat’s reality begins to fracture as Armand returns with portents of doom.

I had to watch two episodes of Heated Rivalry to emotionally recalibrate after "Toronto" and then I had the brilliant idea of an alternate version where Lestat hunts Dallas Kent, tears him into little pieces, and sends them to his victims (and the commissioner). #tvlspoilers

Absolutely *cackling* at the identity of one of Louis's Dubai victims, since apart from Magnus and Rhoshemandes they are my most hated character in the VC 😂 great day for me personally 🙌 #tvlspoilers
