Enter Sym-Bionic Titan
Dec. 29th, 2019 01:15 amI have what I thought was a pleasantly mild-mannered cold, but it's clung on for something like ten days at this point. I wonder if you can get a watered down version of the flu if you were vaccinated against it?
Looks like the CDC thinks yes: "Flu vaccination has been shown in several studies to reduce severity of illness in people who get vaccinated but still get sick." That's cool to know! I'm definitely happier now than I remember being while sick with the full-strength version.
Anyway, have some belated Wednesday reading and watching.
READ
I finished Castle in the Sand
DesdemonaKaylose and
neveralarch, which was just as much of a dysfunctional delight as you'd expect from a story where Megatron and Rung get conjunxed while Starscream, the third in their triad, organizes the reception, and yes, that does include violence as foreplay. But in a kind of adorable way?
I also read the tiny and lovely My Hogwarts Will Be Intersectional Or It Will Be Bullshit by
swingandswirl, written in direct response to JKR being unpleasantly transphobic on twitter this past week, and skimmed through Magical Metamorphosis by
EontheDragonMage, which is a lovely Goblet of Fire rewrite in which Harry Potter realizes she's a girl, and a lot of other little injustices in the stories are worked out along the way as well. As of this writing, it's also a WIP, but it's just reached the end of the school year, so I didn't feel too unsettled when I got to the end of chapter 17.

VIEWED
I don't usually think to include works of visual art in these posts, but Honk by
vass, which comments very wryly on the ongoing drama regarding the AO3's Hugo award, merits an exception.
WATCHED
( Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. )
( The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel through episode 3x01, "Strike Up the Band" )
I'm still hard pressed to categorize this show, but it hasn't stopped me nominating it for Chocolate Box.
( Sym-Bionic Titan through episode 1x05, "Elephant Logic" )
