Fic: TLTR: a place of refuge

[xparrot]

Writing has been less than happening so I don't have a Sunday snippet, but I did post a short fic last week for DMBJ/Reunion:TSotP/The Lost Tomb Reboot (the last seems to be sticking the most in English-speaking fandom, as "TLTR" but who knows if that will last!)

--And I need to post a longer thing on that, because s1 ended and it was completely ridiculous and I didn't enjoy the second half nearly as much as the first, but what I love in the show I REALLY love, making everything else worth it, and I want the second half so badly, you have no idea.

In the meantime, fic! Extremely gratuitous gen h/c, and yes it feels as comfortable as an old pair of slippers.

Also Lucifer s5 dropped -- only have seen a couple eps but it's definitely still Lucifer and so I'm enjoying it -- and we're finally catching up with s2 of the new DuckTales and it makes me happy. And we watched The Mandalorian and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it, not only because Baby Yoda was so cute I was in paroxysms of squee every time he was on screen, but also it proved to be in a genre that seems to be growing in popularity, of shows that have the trappings of grimdark and then are actually not that, because the supposed antiheroes are really just heroes and completely, catastrophically fail at pretending to be otherwise. The Expanse is like that, too, and I hope to see more like it!

The Mandalorian is one of those things I really loved but didn't feel the need to be fannish about - it feels complete as it is - but that's a really good point about it! It does have that feeling, where it's drawing from influences that are pretty dark, but the show itself is very optimistic.

Yeah, I'm not really fannish on The Mandalorian in terms of wanting fic for it or anything, it was giving me what I want -- but I am looking forward to more! And I found the Mandalorian sect itself really interesting, too -- "warrior race" (or cults) are very hit-or-miss for me, but the bits we saw of theirs were fascinating...
