to care this way

by Threa Almontaser

is turning me off. so i take a walk.
plums fall from trees and protest
& i can’t see the colour green
anymore & just last night yo
just last night god went SPLAT
on my window like a fluttery lick
spittle & told me all love starts
in a garden. what am i supposed to do
with that? another friend goes. gone
enough. almost never here. those facetimes
inside me out all year, wishing I could see you
in the hospital. life breaks who doesn’t cry
eventually. one more grave in the middle
of all that green. prayers tangle in my pockets
like earphone wire. i think about the best way
to maneuver my mask & eat, then give up.
i think about the best way to sneak
into the hospital. what about the body
& everything it can’t keep? i’m so over
the garden. i stood at its knee, dressed in
leaves, begging for fruit. learned the only
predator in paradise is me. no eating or being eaten.
bony limbs, broken lungs & growing more
unknown.

Spring is advancing, slowly, here. Nighttime temps are still in the 30°s F, but there is plenty of plant activity in the yard!

fancake

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Gen. John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, Radek Zelenka, Evan Lorne
Rating: Gen
Length: ~7000
Content Notes: no AO3-type warnings apply
Creator Links: Sholio on AO3, Sholio's website with more SGA fic, almost_clara on Dreamwidth
Theme: Outsider POV, Team as family, Friendship, Action/adventure

Summary: Radek struggles, sometimes, with the feeling that he's an outsider to the closeness that Sheppard's team share. Offworld rescue missions tend to put things in perspective, though.

Reccer's Notes: Written for the SGA Reversebang, this is an interesting story by Sholio about Radek observing Rodney's team, at first a little wistfully, but later deciding he's happier in the Science Department without those intense bonds and all they imply, especially after a dangerous rescue mission offworld. Excellent writing, and gorgeous art by almost_clara.

I'm not sure how practical this challenge is, but I hope it's at least inspiring. :D

The rule for this challenge is to make icons that have at most five layers (on Photoshop or other layer-based tools) and/or only take you at most five minutes to make.

Challenge yourself to both simplicity and speed! :D

Maybe this could be an opportunity to learn how to make photoshop actions or get some cool gimp plugins?

( Some random icons and textures for inspiration )

* Since I have no way to verify this, I'm calling on your honesty: please don't cheat. Only submit icons that took you no more than five minutes to make and/or have no more than five layers. Using actions/scripts to automate and speed up your work is allowed.
* You don't have to limit both time and layers. You can enter icons that took you an hour as long as they only have five layers. Or you can enter an icon with ten layers if you manage to make it in under five minutes. Play around and have fun! <3
* You can make as many icons as you like (if you need a goal, five is a good number :))
* There is no minimum, 1 icon is enough to enter this activity
* Please submit your icons (and URLs!) to this post, all in one comment (if possible)
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community

* I will collect all the icons from the comments and make a result post
* Everyone can leave comments on the inspiration and activity result posts
* There is no voting

Deadline: Saturday, May 10 2025, your end-of-day

Why this piece is awesome: The colours! The style! :D I'm so impressed that this works so well, given how busy and in-your-face colourful it is. Very shiny, too, and I love all the inventive, detailed drinks he's carrying around. (Artist's description: Unfortunately, Quark is understaffed this evening and has to run tables himself. He’s not happy, but at least he’s fabulous.)

Treat preference: I could have a treat..as a treat

I will create:
A fanwork of the following type(s): art, fic, music
In one or more of the following parts of fandom: Books: Doyle - Canon; A Study in Emerald; Death and Honey; Hound of D’Ubervilles-Newman; Mysterious Letter-Hall; Warlock Holmes; A Study in Honor- O’Dell; IQ Series by Joe Ide TV/Film:Granada TV Show; Ritchie Films; Livanov/Solomin Russian Holmes; Petrenko/Panin New Russian Holmes; Rathbone Films; Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, Bravestar(23rd Century), Comics/radio/other: Watson and Holmes comic; Baker Towers; Bert Coules radio dramatizations, KittenHolmes, Oklahomo!, Sh&Co, Fawx and Stallion, Beekeeper’s Picnic, Watson’s Sketchbook TBH…if I can read it in a short time and grok it, I will probably write it. Try me!) EDIT: damn I have to stop using grok because it no longer means what it used to with Musk in existence. If I can vibe with it is what I mean.
For one or more of the following characters or relationships: Holmes/Watson (not in Mysterious Letter), Holmes&Watson, other &-style pairings. No Irene. No het pairings pls. Ace relationships +

I like working with one or more of the following categories: Fluff; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Established Relationship; Crossover; Friendship; Humor; Case Fic (ACD rewrite); First Time; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence

With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes

I am willing to create for the following squicks and/or kinks: alcohol/drug abuse; incest; self-harm; suicide; character death, esp Alcoholism related to Pod!John.

I want to receive:
A fanwork of the following type(s): art, vids, music, fic

In one or more of the following parts of fandom:Books: Doyle - Canon; A Study in Emerald; Death and Honey; Hound of D’Ubervilles-Newman; Mysterious Letter-Hall; Warlock Holmes; IQ Series by Joe Ide; Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century. Comics/radio/other: Watson and Holmes comic; Baker Towers; Bert Coules, Sh&Co, Fawx & Stallion, Beekeeper’s picnic, Watson’s Sketchbook

For one or more of the following characters or relationships:Any & (especially “minor” characters that are modernised or explored further in ACD) and Holmes/Watson (but not in Hall), No het pairings pls. (If it’s IQ, no pairing with Grace.) Ace relationships + and especially into QPR with Pod Holmes & Watson.

I like stuff in the following categories: Fluff; Post-Reichenbach; Alternate Universe; Romance; Established Relationship; Crossover; Friendship; Humor; Case Fic (ACD rewrite); First Time; Friendship; Drug Addiction; Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence

With any of the following ratings: 1) suitable for general audiences; 2) non-explicit sexual content; 3) explicit sexual content; 4) mild to moderate violence or depictions of non-sexual mature themes

I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: no parent/child incest, no DV/abuse, any kinks are fine if in a loving context…not necessary but if you wanna write it, go for it! Blood makes me queasy, so mind the description isn’t too intense if you use this. I do like characters fully accepting their partners kinks even if it is not their thing personally. I’d love some voyeurism and sex for unusual reasons. Sex is not necessary, so no worries if it’s all qpr or gen. No het sex pls.

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I like reading things that are not expected to be part of Holmes’s traits or personality, but make sense when you think about it. I am very interested in PodWatson and his issues with alcohol and Sherlock’s with drugs and how they interact and help each other. I don’t mind darkness in the interests of portraying this accurately. Sometimes John's drinking is played for laughs and I kinda wanna see it initially done that way but then he is made to realize it might be a real problem. I also like QPR in this universe and John learning what QPRs are. I don’t consider Mariana on equal relationship level with Sherlock, but she doesn’t need to be absent from the fic by any means.
As far as ACD Canon, I love missing scenes. I also love history, but no Nazis please.

I would love a Beekeeper’s Picnic version of LION?

Art, Pod, or anything inspired by one of my existing works would be wonderful!

Special requests: I like writing challenging and unusual things.

I love London gay culture sneaking into canon scenarios.

Special requests: I love, love, love it when I can tell the writer had fun. Write something you've been craving, sweet or niche or odd or dramatic, and I'll be delighted. Ignore all my requests if there's something that would be especially fun for you.

I wouldn’t mind any of the following squicks and/or kinks: dubcon; non-con/rape; domestic abuse; alcohol/drug abuse

Please include further details about what you’d like to receive: I love a good Reichenbach before or after, but actual graphic depictions of suicide are difficult for me. No zombies, major character death (faked is okay, but no dead doves), or dementia of main characters. Not a fan of vampires or werewolves, but go ahead, impress a girl. I like angst, yearning, pining, melancholy as long as there is an eventual happy or hopeful ending.

Special requests: I can do fluffy all day long, but pure silliness or crack is not likely to go well. Parentlock, sibling relations are a specialty. I enjoy writing historical fiction AUs. I can provide pining, yearning, slow burn, and even a devastingly sad ending if needed. (I prefer happy/hopeful endings.)

Okay I've been working on Transmogrified as other themes I had some major frustrations with. I think I've figure most things out but suddenly I realized there is a horizontal scrollbar when there shouldn't be.

You can see it at
