Oh my god, my brain, but I’d totally forgotten until talking about zombiesrungame just now over on twitter with bookwench and innerbrat that I nearly cheered out loud the other night on the empty track when there was real talk about bisexuality (and I may not have cheered out loud, but I did do a totally dorky fist pump into the air. if you fist pump and nobody sees you, did you actually fist pump?).

(yes yes, I’m behind. I’ll never catch up, but that’s okay. more content to look forward to. or something...)

I keep thinking I couldn’t love Zombies, Run! any more, and I keep being proven wrong.

Yesssssss Dessa's The Bullpen, this means I get to talk about the SKKS postcanon fic OF MY HEART AND SOUL in which Cho Seon takes on the role of Red Messenger and runs around on the rooftops in ninja gear shooting angry political commentary down at all the asshole politicians who took advantage of her for years. (Yes, I know now that the actual female Messenger we se at the end of the show is not Cho Seon, I DON'T CARE, IT IS ALWAYS CHO SEON TO ME, except unlike the girl we see at the end she wouldn't need her grammar corrected.) And then while she's lurking around writing furious graffiti on the Minister of War's lawn she bumps into Hyo-Eun who thinks she is the most DASHING thing, and Cho Seun initially is coldly resolved to use her in her quest for political reform, and then starts to feel guilty about taking advantage for her and then of course they fall in love. :D :D :D (There are already two great Cho Seon/Hyo-Eun fics in existence from that magical year in 2012 when diva-viva wrote for me and innerbrat wrote for her, but I want more, I always want more!)

EDITED BECAUSE I FORGOT TO ADD GEUN DUK. Geun Duk is Cho Seun's newly-recruited assistant. He is very excited to be involved in a revolutionary endeavor that is helmed by a woman who has stated repeatedly that she has no interest in ever being involved with a man again! Geun Duk is eagerly looking forward to his rom-com free life, and, as always, this is Geun Duk's tragedy.

Off the top of my head: Code Name Verity, Scarlet Pimpernel, The Perilous Gard?

I was going to say ‘swashbuckling edition! :D’ but … Scarlet Pimpernel is literally the only one of these that’s a swashbuckler, I briefly confused Perilous Gard with Sherwood Ring.  It’s a thing that could happen to anyone. 

A thing that could not happen to anyone: MAKING THIS DECISION WHICH IS ACTUALLY REALLY HARD.  I mean, I could actually burn the Scarlet Pimpernel and survive it fine, but so many things I love deeply could not have come to be without the Scarlet Pimpernel leading the way.  Let’s rewrite the Scarlet Pimpernel and make it the book I have always wanted it to be from the beginning: more cynical, and involving lesbians.  (attn: innerbrat! PAGING INNERBRAT.)

So it is down to you, Perilous Gard and Code Name Verity, and it is down to me.  This … maybe the most difficult decision I’ve made.  Code Name Verity is probably a more important book than Perilous Gard, is the thing, as well as being brilliant; I legit think Julie is kind of groundbreaking as a character, and the focus on Julie and Maddie’s friendship is so important, and THAT’S WHY I’LL CRY BITTER TEARS OF GUILT AS I SET IT ON FIRE AND RUN AWAY CLUTCHING PERILOUS GARD TO MY HEART.

There should be an alternative that isn’t a MH label. Even if it’s “do what you can” or “mental blocks” or something.

beljohnwatsons replied to your post: I've noticed that you sometimes tag asks with...

mental blocks is a good tag to use. i understand why you were using the depression tag. maybe mental blocks because that’s part of why it’s hard to clean when you have depression?

thegeminisage replied to your post: I've noticed that you sometimes tag asks with...

IA with the mental blocks folks, but I am also happy you do have a tag for that sort of issue.

ailbhe-leamy replied to your post: I’ve noticed that you sometimes tag asks with...

Ooh, good call. I know it was really horrible when my PTSD was misdiagnosed as depression (I knew it wasn’t, so at least I was able to refuse inappropriate treatment…) so I think “mental blocks” or similar non-clinical wording is a good idea.

Done. Right now, it has posts from the depression and mental illness/mental health tags, as well as relevant posts from the chronic illness and chronic pain tags. It'll take me a little while to get through the archives, but I already do 20 minutes on the archives a day, so I'll get there. :D

weaverandom reblogged your post: Make your bed!

BUT I’M IN IT I wish there was a way to time-delay UFYH so it worked for Australia

innerbrat reblogged your post: Make your bed!

I wonder if UFyH would approve of ‘unofficial’ mirrors in other timezones. Weaves, you oughta set up UFyHOzland.

From the UfYH About page:

Note: UfYH runs on Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5). If you live in a different time zone, challenges may appear at the wrong time of day for you. Rather than gleefully gloating that you can’t do the challenge because it’s not the right time of day (and why are all of you gloaters so gleeful, anyway? I’m well aware of the existence of time zones), you have options! To counteract this perplexing phenomenon, do the challenges later. Or earlier, if you’re psychic. Whichever is appropriate.

I'm going to tell you to make your bed every single day. So just do it at the right time for you.

And, unfortunately, I can't OK anything using the UfYH name or brand unless I'm running it, so please don't create accounts that look like they're affiliated.
