Hi everyone,

I'm Tamsin. I am a social worker and currently training to become a therapist. I live in Austria. I've been participating in this comm for years, first on lj and then here on dw and I'm looking forward to taking part again. I already have some lists bookmarked where I hope I'm able to fulfil some wishes.


Used/self-made items are lovely and very welcome.

1. Something from my amazon wish list amazon us / amazon germany

2. Poetry books - books with poems in them, books analyzing poetry, books about writing poetry

3. Chocolate - I'm not big on liquor-filled stuff and raisins, otherwise I'm up for anything. I have a giant sweet tooth. I've gotten to try some cool stuff through this community

4. Jewelry - I'm especially fond of bracelets and necklaces

5. A care package - I love fandom, books, food, owls, sloths and surprises.

6. Tell me about your favorite book reviewers - I read in a wide range of genres, in german and english. I'm on the look out for interesting, thoughtful reviewers. For example I really like Jo Walton Reads. But honestly am open to check out anyone that you enjoy and would recommend.

For my address please PM me.


As always, thank you for looking at my list! I hope you’ll have many moments of contentment, creativity and joy this holiday season. Happy Holidays!

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

I hope that those who celebrated Thanksgiving did so in as harmonious a manner as possible.

In the UK, our own Right Wing extremist wannabe cult leader, Nigel Farage countered claims of Anti-Semitism and racist behaviour in his school days by saying that he had "never directly racially abused anybody"... which managed to make the word "directly" do more heavy lifting than an Olympic shot-put team.

However bad your workday was, the odds are that it was better than whoever at the Office for Budget Responsibility pushed the button which accidentally released a detailed response to, the UK Government's Budget report, several hours before the UK Government actually announced it's Budget report.

The Terry Pratchett Estate has announced that in Discworld terms, following 2025 being "The Year of the Luminous Lemur", 2026 will be "The Year of the Curious Squid".

Stranger Things, Season 5 Pt1 dropped. Having forgotten to actually watch most of Season 4, I made do with the recap and don't think I missed too much. I suspect a lot of shippers will be unhappy with some choices being made but, whilst sympathising with them of course, never having been that invested in it myself, I think I actually liked the realisation at the end of the last episode of this part. I've also seen these episodes described as being "A lot of build up, but not much actually happens", which is probably fair but that's what happens when you split a season in two for marketing purposes)

Hey look, they've made a sequel to the weird by excellent (IMHO) 2022 Norwegian monster movie "Troll" and it's on Netflix!

Hello all! I learned about this comm this year and it's such a sweet idea, I'm excited to take part! No worries if folks can't fill my wishes, of course, but thank you for looking at my list at all - and may everyone's holiday season be wonderful!

1. Dreamwidth Points - Dreamwidth's paid time features are so great, and I keep finding more and more icons I like, so points I could put towards paid time or additional icon slots would be very appreciated!

2. Fic Recommendations - For Hazbin Hotel or Pokemon Horizons. Both are new favorite media I got really into this past year, and finding fic for large fandoms like Pokemon and Hazbin Hotel can get a little overwhelming, so I'd love recommendations of your favorite fics! The main things I'd like to read for Hazbin are: Husk/Angel Dust fic, or fic with a focus on Abel, Sir Pentious, Lucifer, or Emily. For Horizons, I'd be interested in fic focused on Friede, the friendship(s) between Roy, Dot, and/or Liko, and the bond between Roy and his team, as well as general slice of life on the Brave Olivine before the timeskip. In either fandom, I'm not interested in crackfic, character/ship bashing, porn without plot for Hazbin/smut fic in general for Horizons, or fics containing character death. Also, if you're recommending a fic for Pokemon Horizons, please note that I'm watching the English dub, and want to avoid spoilers for anything after HZ089, "Where the Adventure Leads," thank you! 

3. 100x100 Icons - I can always use more Pokemon icons, and especially would love icons of any of the new Mega Evolutions in Legends Z-A or the characters Naveen, Taunie, Lida, L, or Mable from the same game, or icons of Friede, Cap, Roy, Dot, Liko, or any of their Pokemon from Pokemon Horizons!

4. Digital Giftcards - to Barnes and Noble, Hot Topic, Amazon, or the Nintendo eShop; you can DM me for my email address!

5. YouTube Recommendations - I'm a big fan of YouTubers who create content focused on art and character design, such as GinjaNinjaOwO, Momopurin, Prickly Alpaca, and TheStarfishface. I'd love to add more to my subscription list!

Again, thank you for checking out my list, and whatever you're celebrating or observing this time of year - if anything - I wish you the very best time!

Hi everyone! This is my first time doing this, and I'm a little shy about it, but here goes! I would love it if you...

1.) Rec'd me some stuff! Right now I'm mostly on the hunt for webcomics, anime, C-dramas, or audio dramas of the modern-day slice-of-life variety, ideally with little to no romance and at least a couple queer characters in the cast. Also happy to check out some fics that fit this bill, even if the original fandom doesn't. 

2.) Ranted at me about stuff you love! It's always fun for me to hear about things people are into, and often people's enthusiasm rubs off on me and I check out things I might not otherwise. I'd love to hear about what/who you love and why. 

3.) Commented on a fic or podfic of mine, especially this pe-canon Raven Cycle thing starring the 300 Fox Way crew. It's probably my favorite fic I've written, and sadly it remains uncommented upon. :(

4.) Are a nonbinary person in your 30s/40s/older and would like to be DW friends or even better email penpals and share experiences/tips/etc. 

5.) Told me about something you did/tried to do this year that made you a little happier and that I might wanna try too.

I think that's it! I love that this is a thing! Thank you! <3

The cover’s a spoiler of sorts: by the end of the issue, this will be the official membership of the Justice League International--America and Europe.

But the most important character in this issue isn’t on the cover. All three of its stories are a showcase for the JLI-est of JLI characters...G’Nort? )

Peasina's Wishes

peasina: (❝ pokemon - meltan with heart ❞)
[personal profile] peasina posting in [community profile] holiday_wishes
Hello friends,

I’m pea, a 30-something podficcer, Pokémon-fan, and craft-lover from the UK 👋 This is my eighth time participating in Holiday Wishes, and I look forward to the kind, wholesome interactions this event encourages all year. Thank you so much to anyone who grants any of my below wishes. You’re amazing!

1. DW Points – This was my first year having a paid DW account, and I love having access to extra icons, polls, and the search function! Any number of points you’d be kind enough to gift me would be extremely appreciated.

2. Female YouTuber recs – It’s always lovely to find a new YouTuber to binge, and I’d love to support more women making videos about topics I enjoy such as crafts, hobbies, LGBTQ+ themes, video games, and Pokémon. Some of my current favourites are: brattyxbre (zines), Emma Thorne (religion, LGBTQ+ rights, conspiracy theories), Karen Puzzles (jigsaw puzzles), Kyra/Strawberry Pokémon (Pokémon TCG collecting), Memoria (video games), Royalty Soaps (soap and candle making), and Shiny Catherine (Pokémon shiny hunting).

3. Paid Discord things – If you have any of those free trials of Discord Nitro to give out, I’d love to be the lucky recipient of one, especially from 22 Dec onward (when I’m taking part in a Discord-based fan event that’s always easier with Nitro.) My Discord username is ‘alittlesunshine’ – feel free to friend me. I also have a wishlist associated with my account with two cute profile add-ons I’d love to have, if you’re feeling extra generous.

4. Comments on any works in the PokePodProject collections — I co-mod [community profile] pokepodproject, an event that aims to create a fic and podfic for every Pokémon, and I would be delighted if the participants got more attention on their works. I’d appreciate it so, so, so much if you showed them (fic and/or podfic) some love. All are under 1k/10 mins. Here are some links to help you navigate:
Gen one: AO3 Collection | Spreadsheet of Works | Audiobook Anthology Downloads
Gen two: AO3 Collection | Spreadsheet of Works | Audiobook Anthology Downloads

5. Something to open for Christmas – I don’t really get gifts at Christmas, and not to sound shallow, but I do really enjoy having something to open. If you’d like to send me a little surprise, I’d be so grateful and will probably cry happy tears. Here’s a few things I like, if it helps: purple, pink, wax melts (citrus, coffee, sugary scents), stickers, sweets/candy, beads, handmade items (I LOVE crafts!! anything you made will excite me), Pokémon (especially steel and fairy types and any gen one Pokemon), and fruit-themed items. Please DM me for my address 💖

Thank you for looking at my wish list, and thank you again in advance for your kindness if you grant any of my wishes. Happy Holidays!

Hello and happy holidays! May whatever your celebrations are be joyous, restorative, and blessed if they are religious.

1. Craft supplies donations for schools. Of course check with your local schools to see if this is something they really need, but I was until recently a TA in a special school and we were absolutely desperate for craft supplies that no one was donating. Fabric, even just in scraps, is especially valuable this time of year. Anything you have in your stash that you're not using, please see if you have a local school (particularly a special school) that could make use of it!

2. High quality, durable cat toys. My little guy is joyously destroying every toy he gets, and I simply don't have enough money to be replacing them at the speed he goes through them. I'd happily take recommendations (not Kong), or if you want to send me physical items, I'll have contact info at the bottom of this post.

3. Stickers. I'm long distance with one of my partners and we write lots of physical letters. I like to decorate the envelopes with stickers but my stash is running low and I'm having trouble finding cool stickers I like - most shops I find on Ko-fi and such are based in the US, and getting anything sent from the US is a very hit-or-miss prospect these days. I will again take recs - UK-based shops preferred, since I know most of the EU (understandably) won't ship to us either - or if you have spares you'd like to get rid of, contact info is at the bottom of this post. Themes I like: cats, mythology, folklore and folk art, vintage florals, spooky/witchy/Halloween things, hearts.

4. Washi tape. Same note as with the stickers - I keep finding local artists listing washi tape on their website and it must be going out of stock within minutes! No one seems to be able to keep it in stock, unless there is some vast washi tape-making supply shortage of which I'm unaware. If you have recs or any physical items you'd like to get rid of, I'm happy to take either.

5. Dreamwidth points. Always appreciated!

6. One more player for Vampire Heist. I'm running a homebrew D&D mini campaign on StartPlayingGames and we're one player short of starting. If you'd like to (fictionally) force the British Museum to repatriate some stuff, come play with us!

7. Anything off my Giftful wishlist. The wishlist is here and contact info's at the bottom of this post.

8. Commissions. I recently left my job because for a number of reasons it was killing me, and while I'm very happy with having given myself the gift of mental and physical health, I could use some work! I offer both writing and editing commissions, and I especially love editing, so if you've got some writing you'd like eyes on - anything from fic to novels - I'd be happy to help.

9. Eyes on my writing. It's really a struggle out there for writers trying to keep scrapers from stealing their work, and I've had to lower the visibility of my writing past what I would ideally have. All my writing is available for free on [community profile] yarnofariadne_writes, though you do have to join the community (I'll swiftly approve - I'm just trying to keep out the bots). I'm in the process of cross-posting to my website as well. My books are also available for very low prices, and I'm happy to send out review copies for reviewers.

10. Word of mouth. Following on from the above, if you enjoy what I write, please tell someone! Writing reviews on Goodreads/Storygraph/Pagebound is always a kindness, and even just telling a friend you think would be into what I write would be very much appreciated.

You can DM me here on Dreamwidth, or send me an email at victoriacaroline at tuta dot com.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

‘allo and ahoy!!

I believe this will be my fourth year since learning of the Awesome and the third year participating.

A good year overall, certainly in comparison to some of the more recent ones, with a long way to go still.

And with that, on with the Show (and the Wishes)!!!!

**************🎄**************

1. Click 2 Give 

In addition to the arab.org mentioned in other Wishlists, there’s also https://greatergood.com/, which includes freekibble.com.

So many ways to help with just a click. You can support the causes that are meaningful to you across click to give, petitions, games, and more.

It would warm my hollydays wondrous-well if you were to join in the clicking charity!! Just getting back into the habit myself after too long away and it's feeling good. 🌻🌞 😺

**************🎄**************

2. Connection

Would love to connect with others via cards, emails, Bluesky, Dreamwidth and Discord friends.

Slowly digging my way out from under the social rock 🪨 I've been living under for so many years, and this would be a Most Pleasant way to assist with this.

DM for contact information.

**************🎄**************

3. Eyes on Fic 

One of the ways I am looking to earn my Daily Birdseed is through my original fiction and poetry.

If you would come and read/comment/subscribe to my Ream ( https://reamstories.com/BirdyTellsTales ), that will help me get my words and my works out of my head and out into the World where they belong since I will know there are people out there to potentially read them.

While you certainly can choose to pounce a paid subscription (and such would be most gratefully accepted!!!!), it is certainly not required to enjoy the Goodness.

At this time, I'm planning to have most of my words and works available to Followers and above, so you can have access to most of the Goodness in return for simply agreeing to receive email notifications from me.

**************🎄**************

4. Eyes on Shop 

Would highly appreciate eyes on and follows for my Etsy shop. In addition to the items
already in the shop, there are still many more designs to come, as well as tote bags, mugs, and other P.O.D. and digital items.

While sales of course would be appreciated, please know that there is no pressure intended.

Gentle, honest feedback and suggestions for other designs and prrrroducts you'd love to see would also be happily welcomed.

Shop link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/boldkittenspounce

**************🎄**************

5. Eyes on Substack

Another place where I could use some audience-based encouragement is our Substack, where my husband Mike and I will be sharing stories and telling tales about writing and the Writer's life.

https://birdydmikedrockobck.substack.com

Again, while there will likely be a paid option someday, it's going to be more in the realms of a tip jar rather than a proper paywall, so you'll be able to enjoy most of the Goodness for the price of agreeing to receive updates.

**************🎄**************

6. Destash yarn 

Any yarn you have hanging around that you’d like to find a new home for - I’m your Bird.

DM for address.

Please note shipping note below.

**************🎄**************

7. Destash needlework kits 

Any needlework kits - especially needlepoint or longstitch kits - that you have hanging around that you’d like to find a new home for - I’m your Bird.

DM for address.

Please note shipping note below.

**************🎄**************

8. Caron Simply Soft O'gos

2 O’go skeins of: Caron Simply Soft O'Go Almond Orchid Yarn in particular, although I have a bit of an obsession with O’gos these days, so any other colors you'd like to contribute to the stash would be most welcome and appreciated. 

The O’go itself is sadly discontinued, but there are still some left in the wild. I've seen them on Etsy, eBay, Amazon, and a store called YarnConnections ( https://yarnconnectionshop.com/caron-simply-soft-ogo-yarn-1/ ) at varying prices.

DM for address.

See below shipping note about shipping physical items.

**************🎄**************

9. Paton's Stretch Sock Yarn for Blanket

Another WiP I would like to finish is a blanket I began with some yarn gifted to me from last year's Holiday Wishes.

As to the amount needed, I don't know, but judging from my progress so far, it's going to take a lot. Any amount in any colorway you care to contribute to the cause would be wonderfully cuddled and added to the blanket. 

While this is yet another yarn that has been discontinued (yes, I too am noticing a trend :D), I have seen it offered for sale on Etsy, eBay, Amazon.

Please make sure it's the 'Stretch' not the Kroy, as the Stretch has a bunch of elastic in it that the Kroy does not, so the feel will be dramatically different.

DM for address.

Please also see below note on shipping of physical items.

**************🎄**************

10. Lion Brand yarn for Other Shawl

Another one of my long-term prrrroject shawls that has been stalled for lack of yarn 🧶 needs moar skeins of Lion Brand Homespun in the ‘Parfait’ colorway for completion.

How many?? In this case I don't know, but maybe eight to a dozen skeins??

Of course no one purrson has to do all of that (unless you'd like to) - any amount so I can keep going would be highly appreciated.

Homespun® Yarn SKU: 790-405F

Color: Parfait [790-405F] (Painterly color Bubblegum pink and soft white)

https://www.lionbrand.com/products/homespun-yarn

DM for address.

Please note below-written note on shipping of physical items.

**************🎄**************

And that's my lot for this year!! Flying off to see what wishes I can help fulfill.

Thank you most kindly for reading!!!! Happy Days and Hollydays to you and yours, with a Stupendous Season for All!!!!

Chirp chirp 🎶 🎶

Birdy 🐦 BardicRaven 🪶 the One Who Tells Tales 🌻 🌞 😺 
 

**************🎄**************

Important Note on Shipping

If possible, please ship any physical items larger than a card some other way than by USPS. The USPS package service to where I live currently is terrible. There was almost a tragedy of gifting last year and it took six weeks of sad uncertainty before the happy ending finally occurred, so yeah, if at all possible, let’s not.

Elsewhere, I’ve covered the many identities of Reagan in superhero comics. Gorbachev’s portrayals are fewer but no less fascinating. In GREEN LANTERN CORPS #209, 1986, he is intelligent and charming…far more so than Reagan in the same issue (one of the few portrayals I missed). But he is also, at the end of the day, a two-faced bad guy.

Not Two-Face, though. His scar isn’t THAT pronounced. )
