Photograph of steel spoons and spices in a dramatic setting with added text that gives it the look of a gourmet magazine cover: September 2025. Food & Cooking, at Fancake. Steel teaspoons are arranged in an elogated oval to suggest a fish, with the bowls acting as scales and some of the handles left visible to create the fins and tail, giving the creature a spiky appearance. The concave bowls are dusted with a powdery orange spice for color and one spoon at the front of the fish is filled with a coarse black spice to create an eye. The fish is on a black surface with a rough texture and around it are three skinny green peppers, a mound of salt, a mound of orange spice, and a dipping bowl filled with a clear amber liquid.

[personal profile] dancing_serpent posting in [community profile] c_ent
Wishlist Wednesdays are intended as a catch-all for anything you'd like to ask for in a casual, low-stress setting. No need to create a separate entry to the comm (although you are always welcome to do that, too), just leave a comment with your request right here under this entry.

It can be anything. Are you looking for icons of a specific drama or actor? Do you need a beta for your fic? Do you want to know where to buy merchandise of something? You can ask for recs of any kind (fanfic, drama, novel, music, whatever), or even leave specific fic prompts that others might be able to fill. Or whatever else that you can think of. Right now we're still kinda experimenting with this format, after all.

Feel free to discuss wishes/requests in the comments. And if you want to fill a request, feel free to do so right in the comments, too, or make a separate entry to the comm.

And please also check out the previous entries!

Multiple wishes/requests are definitely all right, just post a new top level comment for each. It would make it easier for people who might be interested in helping you out. The only thing I'd suggest for now is that you hide possible spoilers in the usual ways:

System Hack (The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, 나 혼자만 레벨업 | Solo Leveling (Cartoon))
starting text written by [archiveofourown.org profile] Opalsong, with pensieve podfics by [archiveofourown.org profile] CarCrash_Pods, [archiveofourown.org profile] GodOfLaundryBaskets, [archiveofourown.org profile] ChaosKiro, [archiveofourown.org profile] bluedreaming, [archiveofourown.org profile] litra, and [archiveofourown.org profile] Tipsy_Kitty
Summary: The only good thing about the new universe I found myself in was that it had all new media. It definitely didn't make up for the fact that this universe's humans were even weirder than usual. They had powers. Fully magical powers. Like something out of a historical high fantasy serial. I've seen a human shoot fire out of their hands. And then there were the dungeons, wormholes to other dimensions with monsters. Physics decided to power down apparently.
I'd appeared next to the epitome of fluffy and prone to throwing themself into danger, which I knew because the human was absolutely covered in blood. I was also given false hope for the technological level of this new world because this human had a system of some kind constantly pinging them when they were clearly unconscious. I didn't know what kind of system it was. At the time I had no idea that it was a manipulative game system.
I still don't know exactly why or how I got here but I'm pretty sure that this System made it happen.

Steve Harrington Patron Saint of Baby Nerds (Stranger Things (TV 2016))

Summary: Eddie gets accosted by Steve Harrington when he goes to get ice cream on a hot summer day. Things kind of escalate from there.

Freedom lived on the ninth deep space station (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
written by [archiveofourown.org profile] Lavendelhummel, performed by [archiveofourown.org profile] horchatapods
Summary: Kira Nerys, Jadzia Dax and Julian Bashir feel and think about freedom at various points of their lives. What does that mean and how can one feel it?

chemical reaction (Red White & Royal Blue (2023))
written by [archiveofourown.org profile] masked_madness, performed by [archiveofourown.org profile] KitKaos
Summary: He finally put the phone down.
Dumbest. Fucking. Idea. Ever.
Why the fuck had he downloaded that stupid app again?
Ah, yeah. Of course: Nora.
He should not forget to thank her for the stress and the headaches and the— the— everythi—
His phone buzzed, and he grabbed it with much more speed than he would ever admit to.
Captain.Wentworth: That, my dear, entirely depends on how good you are at wagging your tail.
Alex blinked, once, twice— then burst out laughing.
Okay, maybe not the dumbest idea ever.

for reasons wretched and divine (魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù)
written by [archiveofourown.org profile] iicaru2, performed by [archiveofourown.org profile] Wonderlandian_Geek
Summary:

“For the love of—” The man who looks an awful lot like Jin Ling throws his hands in the air in a gesture of frustration. “I swear, every time something goes wrong nowadays, it’s Jingyi’s fucking fault, I’m gonna strangle that little—”
“A-Ling,” The man who greatly resembles Lan Sizhui says mildly, one hand hovering over the other’s shoulder, “you can kill Jingyi later. We have to find a way back to our time first.”
Lan Jingyi, personally, would like to know why two grown-up versions of his friends are standing in front of him, and how the hell it’s all his fault.

(Or: The time travel incident, in which Lan Jingyi learns much more about his friends than he ever needed or wanted to know. Namely, that they’re just as bad as Hanguang-jun and Wei-qianbei— no, worse. Definitely worse.)

Painted Pawn (Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling)
written by [archiveofourown.org profile] cardoon, performed by [archiveofourown.org profile] SerenaEW and [archiveofourown.org profile] mangotart_reads
Summary: As far as Harry is concerned, Voldemort's death should've resolved everything. But there's a lot of strangeness still afoot -- and it isn't the Death Eaters. It's McGonagall. It's Dumbledore's estate making mysterious payments to unknown persons. The threat is gone, but the beehive is still buzzing. Why?
Harry goes to Snape's portrait for answers, and Snape is more than willing to give him a peek into Pandora's box.

acceptable passes (All For The Game - Nora Sakavic)
written by [archiveofourown.org profile] travvymybeloved, performed by [archiveofourown.org profile] boywonder
Summary: Meeting Kevin and learning he had no clue who his soulmate was was a reprieve. Kevin cared far too much about exy and history class to prattle on about whoever ‘Neil Josten’ was. His soulmate tattoo ran along one of his left ribs, and sometimes when he was panicking, he would clutch the spot as if it were burning. Or, maybe, as if he was protecting it. He had let Andrew touch it, the one time Andrew had cared enough to ask. It was flat to the skin, no raised ink like a real tattoo, and there was no special temperature or texture or anything of interest. It was just skin, like the birthmark on Andrew’s shoulder blade or the moles dotting Nicky’s skin. The shiny curls of scar tissue that curled around Kevin’s hand were more interesting to explore.
The first time Kevin came to him, holding a file for a high school exy player with the name ‘Josten’ written in sharp capitals across the top, Andrew knew he was standing on the ledge of a cliff with Kevin offering to push him off.

Once Upon A Question Asked (One Piece (Anime & Manga))

A very unfairly pretty person, but a person none the less. But then, as all good tales include, a child got curious.
Curious enough to follow this person on a rooftop, but that’s besides the point! The point is; a curious child asked a question. And now, that question has been answered.

written by [archiveofourown.org profile] BurdenedWithPointlessPurpose, performed by [archiveofourown.org profile] 2Nienna2
Summary: Chicory is mystified by Lou Lou. She doesn’t know how to absorb the new information, that this little girl is likely one of her own. District Eleven, through and through with the fondness she remembers their home through an unknown amount of torture. It’s an honor she can’t seem to shake, along with the hope that someone with heart makes it out of the arena.

            curvy girl warning

be   gentle   with   me,   please
i deal with enough in the medical world
they chew me up and spit me out
too fat for real medicine
too big to be seen as 	   real
too much for even the mri to see within
so          who knows, really, what it is
just that i know something is really wrong
that i hurt like i haven't before
that i deal with pain on a daily basis
        and this New Pain Makes Me Want To Cry
but i didn't fit 
and they didn't call back
so now i have to play chase 
        like girls and boys in the school yard
        like men and women in bars
        like all the things i hate
but i'm simply a fat girl now
        too big to have real concerns
cuz they'll say
         "if you just lose some weight"
         or 
       	"exercise more"
as if 	the panacea of thinness 
         is enough
as if 	starving myself into disappearing
         is enough
as if 	taking a shot or a pill
         is enough
to stop a lifetime 
         of injuries and hurt
         a societal epoch
           of women being
         (invisible)
         for 
   	     (e)quality
 medicine
          weight

Avoda Zara was great! A lot of good stuff, a lot of really practical things.

There was some stuff in this masechta and this perek that I could have excerpted but didn't (I really probably should go back to the earlier perek that had the Jew and the goy sitting and drinking wine together and the goy being careful not to touch the wine because The Overwhelming Concern About Wine Libations When You Least Expect It but the Jew was like "no, it's cool, it's mevushal"), but just a general overall sense of living as a minority in an environment where you're working side by side, having work partnerships, living in the same buildings and in the same courtyards, etc, and the ensuing entanglements and how to navigate those in the real world. But also, wow. What on earth was going on with all those wine libations. Prevention of intermarriage, I understand, but no, even though that is an excuse, it's not the excuse for everything, a lot of the fear really does seem to be that ovdei avoda zara have an irresistible urge to do a wine libation every time they touch wine.

Next up: two weeks of What Happens When The Court Makes A Mistake, and then we're DONE WITH DAMAGES. :(

The IRS invites the public to participate in an anonymous feedback survey on tax preparation and filing options, which will run through Sept. 5, 2025.

The survey is being conducted as part of the Department of Treasury and the IRS’s efforts to fulfill a reporting requirement to Congress under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act. The law directs Treasury to deliver a report to Congress by Oct. 2, 2025, on several key issues related to free tax filing options for the public.

Treasury and the IRS encourage taxpayers to share their perspectives and help inform this important congressional report.

Translation: We have to report to Congress about the public's interest in Free File (filing directly on the IRS website) because they want to quash it, so here's a survey!

survey here

There are a couple of leading questions that I personally found HIGHLY entertaining. But I do recommend that if you are an American taxpayer you take a look at it/take it.

There was one question that asked what's important in filing taxes, and it had an "other" option that opened a handy text window, so I used that text window to tell them all about how filing taxes is a waste of time and money when the IRS already has all that information. There is absolutely no reason they can't just send you a bill or a refund every year, with a receipt, and you'd only have to file if you had to correct errors or had income or deductions that had been unreported for whatever reason.

September Challenge 2025: Sun

podfic_bingo_mod: text with podfic bingo, between ear cups of headpohones, blue pixel background (Default)
[personal profile] podfic_bingo_mod posting in [community profile] podfic_bingo


The theme challenge for this month is Sun (Please include the tag challenge: sun when you post.) Theme challenges have to do with fic choice. Since this month's challenge is 'sun' your story has to be related to that theme one way or another.

The shape challenge is 'hexagon' (tag challenge: hexagon). This should be at minimum 6 squares, ie:

OOXOO
OXOXO
OXXXO
OOOOO
OOOOO

Shape challenges require that you complete a specific shape of squares on your card. If you complete a shape challenge by the deadline, you’ll win a cheat. If your card already has the shape formation before the challenge starts, you can only count that challenge as completed if you fill at least one square on your card within the challenge time period.

You can pick the challenge you prefer or do both if you're feeling ambitious. Once you’ve posted the podfic required to fulfill the monthly challenge, please comment here to let us know you’ve completed the challenge.

If you complete a challenge, you earn a cheat. If none of the challenges appeal to you, you can also earn cheats by commenting on other people's podfics.

What are Cheats?
Cheats are rewards that allow participants to manipulate their cards so that they can be finished more easily. There are 2 kinds of cheats: shifting squares and swapping out squares. Shifting squares allows participants to swap locations of two squares on their card. Swapping out cheats allow you to discard one of your prompts entirely from your card and replace it with a prompt of your choosing from the Prompt List.
