I just checked and somehow there are zero drift compatible/Pacific Rim fusion fanfics for Josh and Donna

this is a tragedy

#The West Wing #Josh and Donna #Josh Lyman #Donna Moss #fanfiction #Pacific Rim fusion #Jack is doing is summer Monster Movie Marathon right now #he's worked his way through all the Monarch movies and now we're on to #Pacific Rim #so I just had to go check for the relevant tags on AO3 #and there's NOTHING!#I told Jack and he was immediately like: well get to work!#lol #I've at least gotta finish the nearly-done sequel to #The Don't List #aka #The Calendar's End #before I start thinking about anything else #but hey if we're gonna watch both Pac Rim movies in the next day or two I might as well think of it as research lol #so in case this goes anywhere I'm gonna tag it #process thoughts #2025 mood #we'll see #and hey if anyone knows of a j/d drift compatible fic out there that just didn't show up in the tags PLEASE SEND IT TO ME!#oh also yes there was quite a lot of joking about Josh while we watched the one Monarch movie that Bradley Whitford was in #they should bring him back #anyway #tagtalking

somehow, I don't know how, but somehow sewing machines always know when you're nearly done with a project and pick that exact moment to throw a hissy fit

#sewing #sewing machines #I am so close to finishing this dumb swimsuit that I started in 2020 for a vacation that ended up not happening #and which I stuffed into a shoebox and into the back of my sewing stash when I realized I wouldn't get to wear it in 2020 #then pulled it back out to finish for this family gathering coming up in a few days here #it's a one-piece suit and I hate one-piece swimsuits #and no one-piece has fit me off the rack since puberty so I'm stuck sewing it for myself #but I'm very happy with the design and relatively happy with the finished look #the idea is just to have something that is supportive and modest enough to wear around family #and in particular to wear to something like a waterpark with my nephews #something that won't ride up or fall down or come untied or anything like that #so it has a low-cut leg hole and a high-cut neck #and an entire invisible superstructure in the lining underneath to actually provide support and enclosure and all #it's plain black but it fits and supports and won't fly apart at the seams #but this very last step. oh this last step.#I had to drape the exterior bust area directly on me bc I can't account for curves and stretch and such if it's flat on the table #and then I had to wiggle out of it carefully with a ton of pins in the underarm and neckline area #I'm using a double-needle to top stitch the edges as a finish across the whole suit. it did one underarm and the neckline just fine!#but the turn from where the neckline meets the strap and down into the other underarm it just. won't do it.#it has thrown a fit and created a tangle of thread multiple times now. there are only 4" left to sew! just sew it!#it's not hard! we just did the exact same thing on the other side and it worked fine! but no! gotta throw a hissy fit!#ugh. anyway. I have removed all the thread and needles from the machine and turned it off and basically sent it to timeout lol #wrote this rant and gonna make myself some food and I'll fucking finish those last 4 inches later tonight or tomorrow #and then I have one tiny repair to something else I want to take on this trip. hopefully my sewing machine won't throw a fit over that too #istg the only projects this doesn't happen with are the ones that end with a bunch of handsewing #that's the way to trick my sewing machine I guess. but I'm not handsewing a swimsuit lol #at least I'm not so pressed for time that I can't just walk away from it for a bit. getting close to time to pack but not quite yet #my sewing #2024 mood #tagtalking

the number of times that I've been actively researching a scientific topic in preparation for writing a sci-fi story that incorporates that topic

and then brand new info on that topic is released into the scientific community. while I'm in the midst of reading up on it

is too damn high, and honestly starting to get a little spooky

#this week's example isn't nearly so ridiculous as the time I had to reload the wikipedia article I was in the middle of reading #because Stephen Fucking Hawking had released a new paper *since I opened the wiki article two days earlier*#that changed the whole fucking understanding of the field #that's still the high water mark in my ongoing saga of 'why is science doing this to me I'm just trying to write science fiction'#by comparison this week's is pretty minor #'oh you wanna get back into research for a story that involves a massive solarstorm? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A MASSIVE SOLARSTORM RIGHT TF NOW?'#this happens to me. so often. I don't even know what to think any more.#at least there are lots of new articles to read and videos to watch I guess???#dear universe: thank you for the science research help. please stop being spooky #or at least restrain your spookiness to spooky action at a distance #or. wait. maybe that's what this is #maybe it's all spooky action at a distance lmao #maybe I should put down the solarstorm research and get back into the quantum physics research #at some point I do actually need to write all these stories #tagtalking #2024 mood #2015 mood #process thoughts

first time ever working on a cosplay where the question “how do you know if the dress is spiral laced or cross laced?” can be answered with “because you can see the crossed laces coming undone in a 2 second shot in the sex scene”

#I mean #in the very few shots of the dress from the back without the coat overtop #you can see maybe the lowest two rows of grommets below the edge of Rhaenyra's hair #and extrapolate from those since they do seem to be parallel and not offset like spiral lacing would be #tho often the very first and very last grommets/eyelets in a spiral lacing panel are ALSO parallel before the offset spacing starts up #but really the sex scene on the beach is what makes it really obvious that it's cross laced not spiral laced #Daemon is most definitely pulling open crossed lacings there. not unwinding the single lacing ribbon of a spiral laced closure #weirdly enough the SLEEVES are spiral laced on #but the back closure is definitely cross laced #also I would like to thank HotD costume designer #Jany Temime #for making metal grommets period-appropriate for HotD costumes #the clothing shapes are all vaguely 12th-14th century #so if it was actually historically set then everything should be hand-bound eyelets and no metal grommets at all #since those weren't invented until the mid 19th century #(so anything set in say a Jane Austen/Regency era or earlier should ONLY have hand-bound eyelets not metal grommets)#but hey it's a fantasy world so if they want to say Westeros (or Essos) invented metal grommets by Rhaenyra's time SURE WHY NOT #I have done hand-bound eyelets on plenty of things and don't actually mind sewing them #but grommets are so much faster #cosplay plans #my cosplay #Rhaenyra's red dress #tagtalking #rrd cosplay
