Come join us at
seasons_of_fandom! It's the landcomm formerly known as lands_of_magic. A landcomm is a super fun community where the mods post challenges that you complete for points. Challenges could be related to writing prompts, art/graphic prompts, or just general meme-type questions/games. It was a blast last round, and you can use any fandom(s) you like. This comm reminds me of how participatory things used to be on Livejournal! I'm on team Summer. Tell them I sent you :)
I'm also super excited for

Contents: The situation for support for Southern queers has not changed since the era of these shows and that is referenced here.
As far as conferences and political rallies went, Dorothy was glad this one seemed to be staying at a civil discourse. Not, she amended in her own thoughts, that she wasn't ready to blaze truth across narrow-minds in a hope of seeing people live better, stronger lives in the open. She had to stand up for all of her principles, and was glad that joining PFLAG had given her a new outlet to do so.
Still, it had been a long day, and while she wasn't given to drinking much, a nightcap would settle her muscles down, giving her a better chance for sleep in the hotel's luxurious bed. She slipped into more casual, but still classy, attire, picked up her clutch, and headed down to the bar. It might even give her a chance to mingle with others of like minds.
If she found some of different minds, she had a piece or two of her own she'd be able to give out.
Julia Sugarbaker had been brewing on a storm since early that morning. It was bad enough that Georgia didn't have a proper organization to help the young men and women suffering from vitriol and hate, but she'd run into one too many damned Yankees tossing around their patronizing looks about even attempting to get one set up!
She straightened out her blouse, adjusted the sleeve at the wrists, and then snatched up her purse rather than stay in this ridiculously ill-decorated hotel room. She'd seen a bar downstairs. A nice little cocktail hour would help bring her down from her anger, and leave her more likely to find the right words on where to tell the next New York organizer where they could stick their disbelief in gay rights for the South!
Dorothy had seen the brunette going into one of the conference rooms earlier in the day. The decided emphasis on how the woman sat at the bar next to her spoke of difficulties.
"You're here with the PFLAG conference, yes?" Dorothy asked after the woman had a mint julep in front of her, while playing with the straw in her Long Island Iced Tea.
"I am here attempting to convince them to invest in my geographical region instead of writing us all off under the heels of those — " The woman cut herself off completely, took a deep breath. "Yes," she answered instead. "Julia Sugarbaker."
Dorothy raised an eyebrow. "The Julie Sugarbaker who was thanked in Representative Sugarbaker's speech last week?"
Julia softened her stance. "You pay attention to Washington, I take it, ma'am?"
"Dorothy Zbornak. Trying to put more effort into my ideals these days.
"And yes. Helping keep my chapter informed of events, since I have more free time."
"Were you instrumental in organization, or did you step in later? And either way, would you be willing to share any tips? The idiot I spoke to today doesn't feel there is any room in Georgia for them."
Dorothy sighed. "There are so many places in Florida that need outreach, and we run into that there. Or upstate New York, because no, the entire state does not follow the city's lead," she agreed, sympathizing. "I would be glad to work with you, and talk about how to get the support you need."
Julia smiled broadly. "Then Ms. Zbornak, I am looking forward to getting to know you."
"Likewise. Someone willing to stand up when the deck is stacked that way is the kind of woman I'd like to know," Dorothy agreed.

security thoughts that I didn't have
Jun. 15th, 2025 06:57 amlauradi7dwThere is a long amazing twitter thread about how badly organized the crowd control was at Trump's thing. The person who wrote it estimated the crowd to be between 20000-100000 people (half of what Trump's folks said) at least in part because seemingly some people couldn't get into the area due to the way security areas were designed.
https://x.com/dougblandry/status/1934052056878243848
I am used to "just show up" sorts of gatherings, so I hadn't stopped to think about spectators being required to pass security checks on the way in DC. I was interested to see yesterday in Boston that there were police officers inspecting each vehicle (for sneaky bombs, maybe?) and then putting a tiny green sticker on once it had been approved. If you wanted to bring a sneaky bomb, you could keep it in your backpack until you had your tiny green sticker, and *then* put in in your vehicle. Or not. I hadn't even thought of it until just now, when I typed that, but in backpacks is how the Tsarnaev brothers brought in their bombs in 2013. Our line-up spot was very near the marathon bombing memorial, and I had no thoughts yesterday about receiving any harm from members of the crowd or from the police, really, who seemed mostly busy with traffic. Arlington Street was being partly closed off as I walked past on the way to Boylston. A driver leaned out of her SUV and asked an officer if it was OK if she drove down just to drop someone off, not to park. No.

one in a million
Jun. 14th, 2025 08:39 pmlauradi7dwWCVB reported that there were a million people at the combined Pride/No Kings day in Boston. I marched in the Parade but didn't go to the Common.
My part of the T worked well and wasn't extremely crowded - I got to all the things I wanted to do (Tai Chi, protest, pungmul session, friend's curling match) in two different cities (Somerville, Boston, two additional parts of Somerville) by buses, Red line, and my feet.
14th rainy Saturday in a row, but I didn't get soaked, just damp.

Things I did today
Jun. 14th, 2025 02:57 pmscriggleI dropped off some equipment (walker, shower chair, etc.) at the Masons. They loan donated medical equipment to anyone who needs it.
I went to the No Kings protest in my town. Turnout was great. I was talking to one of the volunteers and she estimated there were over 500 people. Although I have to say, where are the young people? Probably 95% were 40+. And of those most were 60+. I talked to one group and they told me they protested the war during the 60s & 70s. If there were more than 50 people in their 20s, I'd be amazed.
I also stopped by the Farmer's Market (first one of the year) and bought a half pound of divers scallops. I'm going to simply sear/pan fry them for dinner.
I have successfully made Italian pastry cream. Go me! I have frozen puff pastry shells to bake and fill.
Not something I did today but I had been looking for something to plant where a blue spruce used to be. The spruce blew down in a micro-burst probably 15 years ago now. I wanted something that would be pretty but wouldn't get huge. So last week, my nephew and his wife got me Japanese Maple for my birthday.
( look at the pretty little tree )

Song Saturday - Triple threat
Jun. 14th, 2025 11:47 amshadowhiveIt’s a return to doing song Saturday! I mean to to do this for the last few weeks but then things happened and I got sidetracked and… well, here we are.
So from the subject this is gonna be not one, not two but three things.
So first Is Dark Divine - Make Me Disappear
So here is a new fixation which is Dark Divine and I fully blame Anthony (the singer) cause look at him. I have binged a few of their vids so could probably do a post of just them but…
This is their las test song and it’s one of those cases where I prefer the song to the video. Like I adore the song and the video does have a nice aesthetic with the atmosphere (and Anthony does look hot). But it’s also a performance vid so it’s not to exciting. There is a few shots of a giant hand so the vibe is it’s controlling Anthony like a puppet but the thing is it doesn’t work cause there’s only a handful of shots (like yes I’d like to see Anthony chained like a puppet why are you denying me this)
Second song is Micheal Clifford + Waterparks - Give Me A Break
So this was described as a ‘love letter to fanfiction’ by Micheal which sounded like an odd thing but you can see what he meant. Cause it’s a girl writing different scenarios and the boys playing them out. The vibe isn’t very serious and it is funny how every scenario (a classroom, coffee shop, doctors room, bathroom) has both romantic vibes and then Awsten killing Micheal various ways
(There is captions and I really need to read through them but I get distracted by what’s happening)
It is wild and funny at the same time. You can tell they had a good time making it. (And I love Awstens line about living freaking out).
But also damn that last scene of Awsten and Micheal kissing. Which yup, that’s definitely launched a bunch of fanfic. (And I wonder how many takes they had cause they’re clearly into it) And you know what’s wild? They’ve teamed with Wattpad to do a fic contest. I am absolutely being serious
Lastly there’s James Marriott - Something’s Wrong
So partly this is here because I’m seeing him on Monday (which is a crazy sentence) but also it’s just a crazy video. Like Something’s Wrong is my fav of the new album singles and then the video is just.
When there was pics of James and Will in cowboy get up (I’ve no idea why but I love it) people called them Brokeback Brighton which is crazy. They’re rivals in this and the rivalry between them takes over James’ focus from the person he came with (girlfriend?) and it definitely felt a few times it was going to end up going from rivals to lovers. Like there’s a few shots that has the vibe of sexual tension but they don’t even kiss (missed opportunity obviously but maybe give me a break spoiled me there). But yeah the vibes are so… I love it.

Fandom50: #16
Jun. 13th, 2025 11:03 pmsenmut1990, [redacted a lot of depressing anecdata]. Let's just roll the credits, hmm? Nine movies because I was choosy... and honestly don't have much to say about movies of this year.
~ Tremors - AWW YEAH a hella good creature feature. To be honest? This was like catching old 50s B movies on TBS, because those creature features were my kind of camp horror comedy.
~ The Hunt for Red October - I can't remember much of this film, but there were some pretty people in it.
~ Ghost - +sighs+ Patrick and Whoopi, I loved. I am still on a fence about Demi's acting, but she's pretty.
~ Quigley Down Under - the movie that reinforced lessons I had begun studying due to "Beds are Burning" by Midnight Oil. It's also the movie that put Alan Rickman on my radar properly. I love his villainy here.
~ The Rescuers Down Under - Hmm, two Aussie based movies for me this year? MARAHUTE! Not quite mixing the adventure and scary like the first, but a DAMN GOOD FILM.
~ Predator 2 - So I enjoy the first. So much. BUT THIS?! This movie started solidifying actual lore for me (BLESS DARK HORSE COMICS) and the yautja in this one is BADASS.
~ Mermaids - A really sweet film, and the cast? +faints+ Hoskins, Cher, Ryder, Ricci? Excellent. A little angst and harm to children warning.
~ Hamlet - So I rather hate putting this on the list. And I know it is seriously panned. But honestly? Seeing this in the theater, watching EVERY ACTOR CHEW THE SCENERY? Made me delighted at an above the top performance. Just wish the fucker in the lead role wasn't... himself.
~ Kindergarten Cop - Sweet. Funny. Dramatic at parts. "It's naht a too-mah" Was surprised when I went back to find that his partner that was supposed to do the teaching and got sick was Iza from Clan of the Cave Bear.
Fave? Toss up between Predator 2 and Kindergarten Cop.

Music Meme Answers
Jun. 13th, 2025 10:44 pmimpala_chickHere are the answers for the music meme. Thanks to likeadeuce adastreia scintilla10 and svgurl for the questions!
4. Is there a song you love but don't like its music video?
There's nothing inherently wrong with the Waffle House music video, but it disappointed me. I love the song, and when I first heard it I thought it had such a great message about being humble/remembering where you came from. But the music video is this huge musical production that feels a bit sterile and very distant from the lyrics.
7. Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you're not into?
No, because I wouldn't want to answer awkward questions about the shirt :P
8. Is there an artist or song that you like, despite being of a genre you don't usually like?
I like Andy Black's solo work, but I don't really listen to emo or Black Veil Brides (maybe I should?).
10. Favorite solo artist?
Halsey or Demi Lovato.
14. A song or album from the 50s or earlier:
21. A song or album from this year or last year:
Music for People Who Believe in Love by Joe Jonas ♥ There's only one song I'm not crazy about on the entire album.
22. What’s your favorite song or album from the year you where born?
28. Have you ever made/got a mixtape as gift to/from a friend?
Of course! This was so common, I remember burning CDs for my friends for their birthdays or special events in high school. I think the last time I got a burned CD was from a boyfriend in college, but it wasn't a mixtape - just a copy of a CD.
35. A song you like in a language you don’t speak:
No idea what's being said, but it's so lovely!
38. Which was the first concert you went to?
I'm not entirely sure but probably a band that was playing for free at the Fair. Maybe Tower of Power?
40. Which was the best concert you’ve ever been to?
Fall Out Boy was super fun - that also had a lot to do with the crowd but they sounded so good. Brooks and Dunn had such an impressive stage production - even from the cheap seats it looked fantastic and every song had a cohesive theme, plus I loved their banter. And then I have to mention the very first Jonas Brothers show I ever went to, when they weren't famous and Joe jumped into the small crowd and serenaded everyone with "Mandy" and it was totally incredible.
42. Your favorite(s) “no skips” album(s):
Badlands by Halsey (2019). Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer (2018).
49. Is there a cover you like more than the original version?
Of course the original (1975) is great, but The Chicks cover of Landslide is SO epic imo (2002).
56. A song/album/artist you wish you could forget so you could have the experience of hearing it for the first time again:
A Little Bit Longer by Jonas Brothers in 2008. This was the album that launched their career into superstar territory and I really remember every single song on that album. It came at just the right time in my life and it made me feel so understood. That album was so important to me, it's hard to capture how amazing it felt to listen to it for the first time but I'd gladly feel all that again :)
likeadeuce adastreia scintilla10 and svgurl for the questions!4. Is there a song you love but don't like its music video?
There's nothing inherently wrong with the Waffle House music video, but it disappointed me. I love the song, and when I first heard it I thought it had such a great message about being humble/remembering where you came from. But the music video is this huge musical production that feels a bit sterile and very distant from the lyrics.
7. Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you're not into?
No, because I wouldn't want to answer awkward questions about the shirt :P
8. Is there an artist or song that you like, despite being of a genre you don't usually like?
I like Andy Black's solo work, but I don't really listen to emo or Black Veil Brides (maybe I should?).
10. Favorite solo artist?
Halsey or Demi Lovato.
The rest of the questions:
14. A song or album from the 50s or earlier:
21. A song or album from this year or last year:
Music for People Who Believe in Love by Joe Jonas ♥ There's only one song I'm not crazy about on the entire album.
22. What’s your favorite song or album from the year you where born?
28. Have you ever made/got a mixtape as gift to/from a friend?
Of course! This was so common, I remember burning CDs for my friends for their birthdays or special events in high school. I think the last time I got a burned CD was from a boyfriend in college, but it wasn't a mixtape - just a copy of a CD.
