Somehow, despite how impossible it seems (to me, a person who has neither aged nor matured a day), it’s been almost twenty years since I first told you about my family’s favorite coffee cake. It’s tall, plush, crisp with a flaky layer of cinnamon sugar on top, studded with a quilt of chocolate chips and is downright, well, adorable when cut into cubes because they’re a little wobbly. When one tumbles, it shakes off a little pfft of cinnamon sugar, like a pup coming in from today’s blizzard. It’s perfect. It needs no changes or updates.

I've not gone down a particularly deep rabbit hole with season 3. it may be unexpected, it may be exactly what we're all imagining it to be. Who knows, variables, etc... Glad I have finally gotten to this with a mere 80 days to spare! Some of these I believe more than others, but an entire 24 spaces to fill is... formidable. *g* These may be subject to change with future data/spoilers/Sheen blabs... <3 

I've also made a blank version of this layout if it is anyone's cup of tea.

My motor cortex learning to play Dark Souls

can, to some small degree, be simulated by a blindfolded person trying to push buttons while someone else shouts confused and panicked instructions at them:



(Except that these guys mastered jumping WAY faster than I did.)

It's hilarious and delightful to me to watch people having an experience of Dark Souls which is not wholly unlike mine. In a weird way I feel kind of #represented.

In later vids, they have (like me) discovered the joys of the halberd as adaptive technology for people who are bad at spacing and aiming.
https://www.scenemag.co.uk/lancaster-university-launches-national-consultation-to-shape-future-of-adult-gender-healthcare/

https://wp.lancs.ac.uk/transadultspsp/

The focus is identifying priorities for future research, specifically related to "non-surgical, transition-related healthcare for people aged 18 and over", and they're starting with a survey.

Funded by Gendered Intelligence, led by a steering group which is half people with lived experience (in fact more than half, as some of the healthcare professional members also ID as trans), one of the two co-leads is a trans woman, and they're partnered with TransActual and GIRES, so this looks like real genuine co-production.

Come to Dark Souls

We have terrible platforming, shortcut porn, hostile shrubbery, BOXRATS!!!, extremely smashable vases, “amazing chest ahead” (male), “amazing chest ahead” (female), “amazing chest ahead” (mimic), weirdly sexualized moaning (male only), repeatedly falling down inside a giant hollow tree to your death, Moss Lady, a magic medieval snakeskin-covered gramophone, hidden areas hidden behind other hidden areas hidden behind illusory walls, combat skirts (unisex), giant snakes with horse teeth, pretending to be an egg, quite a lot of jank, a very angry elderly cat who scolds you in bad faux-Shakespearian and is also a faction leader, the secret lake underneath the bottom of the world, “jolly co-operation,” chibi mindflayers, clams full of skulls, a trident that lets you do a silly little dance, ridiculous ragdoll corpse physics, a really cool double helix staircase probably based on the Château de Chambord, ball/crab things that turn up unexpectedly in your game and try to magic missile you because somebody in another game lost some stuff, getting punched to death by mushrooms, and Gender.

This is such a weird game (complimentary).

"Oh, So He's Still Inside You?"

After being caught proselytising for the dark side, Daniel is captured and shares his plan to wipe out the Ori (do they have to be in 'proximity' to Merlin's device? How so when they aren't on this plane of existence? Can ascended beings travel between galaxies? Adria ascended in the Milky Way then showed up in the Ori galaxy in Ark of Truth? Morgan La Fey appeared in Pegasus and the Ori galaxy... could the weapon have wiped out the Ancients too? Oops...) proving he's not that sweet young archaeologist no more, eh? He is interrogated by his friends for his troubles, but still has that wry way of convincing Jack to go along with him even though he broke his promise in Abyss so that was a shitty argument Danny boy! *ahem* Jack and Daniel both decide they are crazy and trust no one, so they head off together to wreak havoc, spreading sarcasm and cosmic giddiness across the universe - much more powerful than Origin! The rest of the team joins in, they save the day (?) ...

10x14 The Shroud 

Original 2008 icons here
.

As mentioned previously, I am going to redo a couple of the Stargate episodic icon sets, as some of the old sets were just of one or select scenes. I started the episode sets in 2006 as part of a group project on jackslashdaniel.com, and when the site folded, I continued on my own, expanding the sets to include the whole episode/team - I still have my slashy fun *g*. If there are any episodes in particular you would like a fresh set for, please hit me up!
