Lord Peter Wimsey: Tea For Two by Beatrice_Otter
Jun. 30th, 2025 11:17 pmmific posting in fancakeFandom: Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers
Characters/Pairings: Harriet Vane & Mary Wimsey
Rating: Gen
Length: 1951
Creator Links: Beatrice_Otter on AO3
Themes: Female relationships, Female friendship, Female characters
Summary: "I was complaining to my brother about how few friends I had, and he suggested that you might be an interesting person to know."
After Harriet is exonerated, she and Mary Wimsey meet for tea.
Reccer's Notes: A lovely, quietly perceptive story about two slightly lonely women finding commonalities and starting to become friends - one of Lord Peter's more successful machinations. It's beautifully written and the author's note at the end is interesting if you're a fan of the Wimsey books.

Dirty Pair cameo in Patlabor (?)
Jun. 29th, 2025 11:24 pmfennectik posting in anime_mangaCame accross this cropped screenshot someone mentioned was from Patlabor on which two very familiar looking girls are passing by. Not sure of this was a dedicated cameo or just coincidence, but am trying to see what episode and sweies from Patlabor its from.
Its still pretty neat.
EDIT: Thanks to a reply below, I got told its most likely from episode 2 of the Patlabor OVA.

Absolute Martian Manhunter #3
Jun. 29th, 2025 06:58 pmlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
That was a really light bulb moment for me, where I knew that I wanted to, number one, play with fire, because it was so essential to the Martian Manhunter mythology, but then the idea of how we represent thoughts in comics with essentially thought smoke. So I made that connection immediately, and I thought that we could do something with that. And so it just felt like we're taking that that formal concept, and kind of playing with it, and going as deep as we can with it throughout the issues. -- Deniz Camp

Deadloch: Keep On Gruckin' by kirazi
Jun. 30th, 2025 09:48 ammific posting in fancakeFandom: Deadloch
Characters/Pairings: Dulcie Collins/Eddie Redcliffe/Cath York
Rating: Explicit
Length: 5010
Content Notes: not kidding about the rating
Creator Links: kirazi on AO3
Themes: Female relationships, Femslash, Polyamory, Friends to lovers
Summary: “This is not a good idea, love,” Dulcie says, keeping her tone level. “I know I said I’d try to be more open to change, and I hear and respect your opinion, I truly do, but this is — it’s like the hobby farm. It’s really not going to work.”
“I just think,” Cath says, bright-eyed and earnest, “that it would be a healing experience for me. For us both! To share that kind of intimacy. I am committed to working through my anxiety about you fucking your partner and I’m sure that would be so much more manageable for me if we fucked her first. Together.”
(Eddie needs a gruck. Dulcie and Cath offer to help her out.)
Reccer's Notes: This is a polyamory fic where Cath decides she and Dulcie should have sex with Eddie so as to manage her anxiety that Dulcie might be unfaithful with Eddie (as happened in the past with a former partner at work). There's some nice psychological and historical exploration as Dulcie tries to work out what's going on, and the eventual sex is hot and well-written. What I like most is the character voices and dialogue for the three of them, which are spot on. It's also very funny, as are Eddie's creative takes on the English language.

Spring anime, and into summer
Jun. 29th, 2025 08:23 ampetrea_mitchell posting in anime_manga(Crossposted from my journal.)
Apocalypse Hotel was great. Just great. Go watch it. It's definitely on my Hugo ballot next year.
Kowloon Generic Romance ended very well, even if the finale didn't quite have time to spell out every last detail of what was going on. Presumably the manga, which is ending soon, will be able to explain better. Recommended with some disclaimers: there are some very male-gaze camera angles at first but they stop after episode 2, and there is someone who initially appears to be a depressingly stereotypical queer villain but ultimately becomes three-dimensional and far more sympathetic.
Zatsu Tabi continued to be exactly what it appeared to be, a low-key story about travel and introduction to some of Japan's lesser-known tourist attractions.
Sword of the Demon Hunter is continuing into summer, but I have to say this: The choice to fridge someone in the first episode wound up feeling more and more out of place as the story went on. The subsequent story isn't grimdark at all; eventually it's about a guy hanging out in a soba shop with his friends and taking on jobs with an emphasis on how his work heals the community. Even the demons are mostly sympathetic at this point. So I'm not sure why the author chose to do that, other than he couldn't think of another way to get the protagonist out of his comortable village life and out into the world.
For next season, the shows I'm looking at fall into three categories:
Shows I am truly interested in checking out: Bullet/Bullet, Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show, The Earthbound Mole, Onmyo Kaiten Re: Birth Verse
Show I would be checking out if it weren't on Netflix: The Summer Hikaru Died
Shows I should be excited about on paper but am not really: Cute High Earth Defense Club Haikara!, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 part 2, Ruri Rocks

X-Men #19 Preview - Well, here goes..
Jun. 29th, 2025 01:28 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailySo... the preview for X-Men #19 is out.
As you might imagine, the premise of Doug Ramsey becoming Revelation, the "Heir of Apocalypse", is not one that has greatly impressed me, as it seems to run counter to his whole nature, but I try to be open to new things so here's hoping.
( So how is it going so far? )
