Unfortunately, the Xena tag is distracting me with stuff I don’t care about, including the ocasional porn and people’s pets, as usual.
Anyone?

Alicia’s alternate way of getting high | s03e05
This was AC committing suicide. She stands silently for a long moment, willing herself into action. She’s empty and without hope. She jumps. She had no idea she would survive that fall, that the water was deep enough or didn’t have a huge rock in the middle. Her expression at the end says it all – she’s initially exhilarated at surviving – and then disappointed, scared even. Now she has to go on.
She tells Walker later that ‘it’s hard just getting out of this life.’ She knows. She tried.
In honor of Wonder Woman, this story begins a 12-part series telling of Diana’s experience with each of Clio’s “12 Treatises of Bodily Pleasure,” imagined here as classic Amazon philosophical dialogues on the nature of reality, the Amazons, and pleasure. This story of the second treatise on “Luxuries” considers the pleasure found in abundance and what goes beyond the base pleasure known to all animals in finding the sustenance that sustains life.
Look what she’s done – a great beginning to fill in some of Diana’s backstory and experience mentioned in the film revolving around the now infamous volumes on ‘pleasure.’ Have a look!

Creative work bridges time because the energy of art is not time-bound. If it were we should have no interest in the art of the past, except as history or documentary. But our interest in art is our interest in ourselves both now and always. Here and forever. There is a sense of the human spirit as always existing. This makes our own death bearable. Life + art is a boisterous communion/communication with the dead. It is a boxing match with time.
A bit of the Trossachs, Snowdonia and Newfoundland thrown together, my dogs, my sisters and their kids, Happy Queers, an endless library, no factories, no autos, no noise, maybe a train, proper accommodations everywhere for those with every sort of disability or impairment, a small sporting area for light sabre battles and biannual cosplay events (with holodecks available), a faithful reproduction of Rivendell but with Amazons, a science and aeronautics ‘village’ with dedicated geniuses designing intergalactic transport for when it is Time to Leave This Place and Benes chip shop.
All Needed Things are supplied via advanced Replicators.
There are constant rumours of Tardis sightings.
Every year we host the Hayfever Fan Fiction Festival.
We haven’t a flag, but we all hang out our laundry, so.
Ye Olde Relickru Shoppe (YORS) features a selection of fine wines, whiskies and sexual ‘aides.’ There are weekly discussions on the merits of pineapple on pizza vs Just About Anything Else.
Buckfast is illegal, but someone at YORS ‘knows a guy.’
Since we live in an alternate reality, we enjoy different telly:
- Xena is now in her 21st season
- Clarke and Lexa are leading the Coalition into a new, peaceful era – and Raven’s managed to setup wifi for everyone
- The Doctor has always been a woman. Except that One Time
- The Hermione Granger films are still very popular
- The L-Word is a chat show dedicated to all things Lexa
- There is a 24-hour w/w channel featuring productions of @Steklir’s More Women Than Warriors, @entirelytookeen’s The White Queen Running, @femininenachos‘ Don’t Want to Be Your Girl and so much more. Sundays are dedicated entirely to short films based upon @coeurdastronaute‘s prompts and @unicyclehippo‘s various head cannons.
Quidditch Wednesdays are on hold until we sort out the Recent Deaths
Do not speak to the Empty Woman in the Fountain. She will correct your grammar and insult your choice of clothing
If you see a Clockwork run down, please wind it up. It’s rude to just leave it there
If you fail to wind a Clockwork and it comes after you later, that is Your Own Fault and We Will Not Pity You
The phone boxes are entrances to parallel universes, so only use when Necessary
There is a Monster in our loch, everyone has seen it and it doesn’t mind the odd selfie – it does love chatting with terfs. We never hear from them again for some reason (hence our country is free of terfs)
If you have a fidget spinner, You Must Share It
We’ve no leader, but the Oracle sometimes dispenses advice which she advises not to heed
We’re mostly atheists and agnostics, but there is a church somewhere near the standing stones and everyone is free to participate, whenever it appears (usually on a full moon)
MAKE IT SO IMMEDIATELY. I love everything about this and I’m totally up for running YORS. Spoiler alert: “a guy” is actually just @gramjams and I. You just need the secret password.
Vote for monster in the Loch getting nicknamed ‘Surf & Terf’ because of its antics.
Gramjams FM (Fucking Marvellous) has a strict ‘no shite tunes’ policy & the song ‘Controversy’ by Prince gets played every time a local kicks off on air about the lack of Humperdinck.
This is also the perfect world for ‘Heda Heights’ the Clexa-themed retirement home that I posted about many moons ago!
The loch monster dinnae mind a nickname, but she prefers to be called Edith, Bringer of Lentils.
It is Hoped that Gramjams FM will also feature the odd radio docu with a Kirsty Young type who interviews locals about what they would take with them if they could visit the Real World.
Heda Heights is home to so many former fan fiction writers, artists (and, oddly enough, Head Girls), that discourse of any kind is banned and if anyone dares bring up Xena/Ares, Monhell or Be**arke, food fights are known to break out. There is a collection of yoghurt pots so large, it’s in the world record books.
Someone in the village invented a Thing that helps a person remember all the things they forgot in their life, but once she used it on herself, she threw it in the loch and took up beekeeping.
YORS is currently under investigation for the illegal importation of – REDACTED – but they’ve argued it was just for ‘atmosphere’ and have promised to return it.
Reposting this as I’ve had a few messages now suggesting I’m no longer writing or weren’t aware of this.
A little prologue/prequel to The Flame and the Dame – Clarke is taking a break from singing/running her mother’s bar, out to enjoy a night on the Skytrain where she meets a mysterious woman. Mad thirst, a bit of angst and chaos ensue.
