Title: the thrusting limbs of deer or beasts
Fandom: Final Fantasy XVI
Characters/pairing: Dion/Terence
Rating: gen
Word Count: 1571

Notes: Written for the MyDearTerence collection. I chose and combined two prompts, "i found a nice place i want to take you' and 'here's a silly object i was given for something virtuous i did.' Much longer than usual. Blaming my Kay Boyle reading.

Vouivre's common French translation is as 'wyvern,' but I liked that... "The word “vouivre” is derived from the Latin vipera, or “viper”. Vouivres themselves are the spiritual descendants of Mélusine, stripped of her human features. They have been described as dragons, serpents, and fairies in the form of great reptiles; they are always the guardians of priceless treasures..." and "...among other places, “vouivre” has become a byword for an unpleasant, nasty woman." Somethingsomething patriarchy, imperialism, decay, self-possession -- and I hit things with hammers.

( An ambivalent departure; you, to your father, and me, exile. Well. )

Fiber arts project I've finished that I'm most proud of?

There's two that I'm really proud of, honestly — the rainbow afghan (pictures of which have been lost to time, alas), which was a queen-sized afghan I made from these blocks. It was, literally, red/orange/yellow/green/blue/indigo/violet flowers, yellow-centered with black edging about them to set it off (instead of white as in that pattern).

My ex pressed on me to give it to his mom, since she was going through a hard time, and so I parted with it and we shipped it to her. I have mixed feelings about that — on the one hand, it was so much work and it was really pretty (I made it all from thrifted yarn; it was jewel-toned and beautiful), but on the other hand, I don't tend to keep stuff I make, so who knows where it would have ended up otherwise? She was grateful to get it, so.

The other one that I'm very proud of is a cross-stitch project I did earlier this summer. It was the first time I'd actually cross-stitched anything in about five years, and I did it without a proper pattern (I did get instructions on how to do the worms and the dragon, but, you know). Pictures of it are up on Mastodon, so here. Perfect? Definitely not, but the person it was made for appreciated it, and I am still proud of it, so. ♥

I have a confession.

I am obsessed with Rico Tubbs. It's like Ianto Jones all over again. I think I need an intervention. 😁😂🤣😉

I'm feeling guilty. Yes, I am watching an episode with tons of Sonny tragedy/angst and thinking, poor Rico! Forgive me, Sonny fans, I can't help myself. It's not that I don't love Sonny -- and I do see them as a matched set! Maybe I'll be better tomorrow. Things are just kinda rough right now.

I know Rico has his Issues, too. I do. He's not perfect either. I just can't help myself. I didn't expect it, it just hit me out of the blue. Like Ianto (at least Rico doesn't die -- thank God!!).

Maybe it'll get better after the shit ton of Rico Angst coming up in the next three episodes. Hopefully there won't be so much horror to go through after that... And then, once I'm done with the Horrible Angst Seasons, I can start over again and enjoy the "fun" stuff again (fun being a relative term, but compared to the fourth and fifth season, the first two are a honeymoon in paradise. I normally don't have a favorite like this, so I'm fighting it. I really think things will get better when I'm finished with the last season.

Look at my happy baby! When Rico's happy, I'm happy.

I just gave Rico his own tag. The only characters who have their own tags besides him are Ianto and James T. Kirk.

But the finale of Good Omens IS coming up on May 13th, so that might turn out to be a good thing. I might need the distraction.

1. Despite a mixup at the airport, I arrived safely in NoCal for my first ever business trip. After I got through security this morning, an airport staff person asked me what airline I was flying on and when I said Southwest, she told me I had to go downstairs and take a shuttle to my gate. This seemed odd to me since I entered at the place at that said Southwest but there’s a lot of construction going on, so I figured maybe it had something to do with that. But when I arrived at the other terminal, it was clear I was in the wrong place, so I had to take the shuttle back. Thankfully I was at the airport with plenty of time to spare so there was still like an hour before boarding and I was able to get breakfast and get to my actual gate in plenty of time. The flight itself is short, only like an hour in the air, though we did have to circle around the airport once before landing because it was so windy they had to come in from the other direction. Amusingly there was a guy from work on my same flight, though we hadn’t realized until boarding that we were traveling together.

2. I have mostly avoided the rain today. It was raining a little traveling from the airport to the store, but I wasn’t the one driving, and it had stopped by the time I arrived. Dry throughout the day, I was able to take a walk after lunch. And my hotel is just across the street. But tonight I had to go out to buy toothpaste and toothbrush because the hotel doesn’t provide them (cheapskates) and I didn’t take my umbrella because it wasn’t supposed to rain for hours, but when I was leaving the store it was pouring, so I had to go back in and buy an umbrella. I actually have one in my suitcase! D: But now I have another one. I did get pretty soaked even with it, but I think I can manage to dry my shoes out with the hairdryer the hotel provided. Tomorrow is supposed to be no rain all day so fingers crossed.

3. There are loads of nice restaurants around and tonight I walked to a sort of food court area where I ended up getting some very tasty yuzu ramen.

Sorry, no cat pics today or tomorrow as posting is fiddle enough from my iPad. I did post on bluesky, though. I’m torachan on bluesky if you want to see cats. Otherwise I will be back to cat posting on Friday.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day/syllogism-2026-02-19

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 19, 2026 is:

syllogism • \SIL-uh-jiz-um\ • noun

Syllogism refers to a formal argument in logic that is formed by two statements and a conclusion which must be true if the two statements are true.

// An example of a syllogism is “All men are mortal; no gods are mortal; therefore no men are gods.”

See the entry >

Examples:

“The Dallas area was a hotbed of competitive debate, and, at first, the oratorical polish of [Rebecca F.] Kuang’s teammates was intimidating. She spent months being coached on the art of the syllogism, a kind of logical argument in which one deduces a conclusion from a set of premises. ‘The idea that you could take something that seemed up to personal charisma or rhetorical choice and map it to this very rigid, argumentative structure was mind-blowing,’ she said.” — Hua Hsu, The New Yorker, 25 Aug. 2025

Did you know?

For those trained in formal argument, the syllogism is a classical form of deduction, specifically an argument consisting of a major and a minor premise and a conclusion. One example is the inference that “kindness is praiseworthy” from the premises “every virtue is praiseworthy” and “kindness is a virtue.” Syllogism came to English through Anglo-French from the Latin noun syllogismus, which in turn can be traced back to the Greek verb syllogizesthai, which combines logizesthai (meaning “to calculate,” and coming from logos, meaning “word” or “reckoning”) with syl-, which comes from syn-, meaning “with” or “together.”

Today was a nice day!

Tuesday and I played quite a bit of Cadence of Hyrule, which was extremely enjoyable to do. I love Crypt of the Necrodancer very much, and I like playing video games with other people, so this was a good combo. It's exciting to me to get to be the better player at a game, because that is not generally the case. Not that I was doing a flawless job or anything, Tuesday is also very good at games, but I have played a staggering amount of Necrodance over the years, and I'm sure I was extremely charmingly irritating about all the parts where I was like "oh yeah, I know exactly how that mechanic works".

At lunchtime, we swung by the local little Japanese place, and got an assortment of things. Some of it was excellent (their little friend sesame balls were exemplary) and some of it was merely acceptable, which is still a nice situation restaurant-wise. Foolishly of Tuesday, I now know this is quite close and may drag us there on future visits as well.

More video games, then being floppy in bed and doing some parallel play, and finally it was dinner time and we settled in to watch Everything Everywhere All At Once, which I had never seen. We'd specifically been trying to find a time to watch it when we could watch it on Tuesday's properly big television (rather than laptop screens or something else inadequate) and I do think it was worth it.

The movie is absolutely as splendid as everyone said. Some of it was extremely predictable, but in the way that felt right. It felt like the joy of storytelling, the hope of seeing everything come round the way it ought to, while still being beautiful and joyous and just an absolute delight. And the actual visuals of it are astoundingly well done! There was a moment where I realized I want to do the double feature of this with Wizard of Speed and Time. Specific theme: it would be good to watch this on a device capable of going frame-by-frame when necessary.

(I should make sure I've shown Tuesday WoSaT at some point, because if I haven't, that _really_ needs to be rectified. I think she would find it Good.)

Tomorrow we get more being floppy and goofy together. Probably more video games. Certainly more being very much in love. Eventually I get on a train and head back to Somerville (in time for dance, even.)

As long as I ignore the fact that I need to work on grading at some point, I am having a lovely vacation!

There is another big bundle at Itch.io. This time proceeds go to support the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. The center has been at the front lines in combating the current administration's attack on Minnesotans, providing logistical and informational support to those targeted by ICE. As usual there are a handful of new games in this bundle in addition to megabundle staples.

Even if game bundles are not your thing, if you want to support the victims of ICE in Minnesota right now the ILC is a good option for that. The news has moved away from the state now that the thuggery has gotten more understated, but a lot of people have suffered long term damage, both physically, to their livelihoods, and psychologically, and they continue to need support.

Michael Siberry, who played Martin "There's nothing like the kill of a seasoned Immortal" Hyde on Highlander, also played easily lovelorn upper class twit Bingo Little on Jeeves and Wooster.

I don't think a "he's in disguise" crossover would work in this case.

Sometimes I look at the Craigslist free stuff page. Today there are five free pianos on offer. One is paying $50 to have one taken away. It's so sad. Pianos went from being prized possessions to free giveaways. If I had the space, I'd give one a home. I don't play, and with my hand and wrist issues probably shouldn't learn, but it would be neat to have one.

I finished The 'Burbs series on Peacock while I have it for the month of the Olympics. It was lots of fun. Good suspense, interesting characters, good performances, and a cliffhanger that had me wanting more. I may pony up for another month of Peacock if it has a season 2. Maybe. I'm tired of streaming services and having to pay and pay and then still having commercials. Peacock is $10.99 per month with plenty of commercials. No thanks. I've been seriously working on my DVD collection for several months now because if I want to watch a favorite show or movie, I'm not paying for it if it's not on services I already have. I'm also concerned about content with queer story lines and characters being pulled. I prioritized those. I, uh, have a lot of DVDs now.

The future is so freaking stupid. Commercials you pay for, devices listening to you, AI, fascism, billionaires run amok.

And still no flying cars.

But I just saw a Ford F350 Crew Cab truck with a rear window sticker that read "I identify as a Prius."

In between the other books I've been rereading, there were also a couple of rereads of older books.

Mrs. Frisby & the Rats of Nimh - I reread this one a few days ago after randomly finding it while looking for something else on my bookshelves. I still feel as I did the first time I read it, or watched the movie - whichever came first for me, I genuinely don't remember now - that this book has an absolute genius premise in how it plays around with the tropes of classic children's animal literature.

Cut for anyone who doesn't actually want to know the big spoiler in the premise (which is revealed in full about halfway through the book).

( About that book )

Anyway, I really enjoyed it! A fun quick read, a classic for a reason.

A Wrinkle in Time - I had pulled out this one and several others in the series to reread around the time I did my Dark Is Rising reread a couple of years ago, and finally got around to it. I remember a lot of this book really well - I must have reread it a ton as a kid, because I remember the broad shape of the plot as well as, in vivid detail, a number of images from the book, like the kids all bouncing their balls in unison, the disembodied brain, or Meg starting to pass out and dipping her head to inhale from the oxygen flower. What I didn't remember is how it all connected together, how it ended (I can see why), or how absolutely batshit insane this book is.

( A little more about this one )

anti_clockwork

been pretty gloomy and lethargic lately due to some stuff but i'm gonna try to get some things started this week. i'm thinking maybe a new website or journal layout. ESPECIALLY my journal. so ugly :/ thinking of maybe adopting a cutesy u*sa*ha*na theme or something rave-y and bright.. not sure.

been reminiscing a lot about my old friendships and how quickly they all moved on while i'm still stuck in the past, and how alone i feel in life, but hey, one day at a time, right? i'm trying my best, i promise.

i noticed that my memory has been becoming kind of blurry lately. i keep mixing up memories regardless of how recent they were and i forget things that literally happened yesterday. not sure if it's some bad mental state bullshit or just a side effect of being sleep deprived. hm.

..now to watch some cartoons to shut off my brain for a while. yay!
