A nice thing to link to: Jeannelle M. Ferreira's "The House of Women" (2025), named after the site on Akrotiri because it is a story from when the mountain was Minoan and the walls of the city where libations were offered 𐀤𐀨𐀯𐀊 𐂕𐄽𐄇 were painted with dolphins and saffron gatherers. I have a great affection for this story with its ground pigments and grilled eel and lovers describable as sapphic a thousand years before the tenth Muse. Even in cataclysms, it is worth holding on.

Title: Holding Out For a Hero

author:

cornerofmadness

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel

Characters/Pairing: Angel Dust, Sir Pentious, Husk, the Vees

Summary: Even Pentious might have been impressed with Angel’s new steampunk movie and Angel would give anything to be able to make a sequel. That would mean Pentious and his airship were still alive and he wouldn’t be mourning a friend. Worse, the Vees want to capitalize on his pain and force him to betray the friends he still has.

Warnings: Angel is a sex worker, violence/assault

Artist: Bonnie Tyler
Album: Footloose Soundtrack
Song: Holding Out For a Hero

Current Mood: accomplished
Current Music: Midsomer Murder

Creator's Summary: Cora isn't the only Interstellar Song Contest entrant with special reasons for wanting her song to be heard.

Aberdeenshire's local studies department in Old Meldrum has been promoting its library and resources this past month - you can see more on the department's offerings at https://www.livelifeaberdeenshire.org.uk/libraries/local-heritage/.

One thing I hadn't twigged was that they also have a series of podcasts available freely online at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf9SJJOIgiNJZc0WdEanO6AzUk-DC8OPc. Topics include:

Lord Pitsligo, Jacobite leader and fugitive hiding in plain site
Forvie, the village consumed by sand
Donald Dinnie, Victorian Scotland's greatest athlete

And many more, including one on the local studies team itself, and its work.

Enjoy!

Challenge 195
The new theme is...
MerMay 2025 - Sea Life & Seascapes
🧜🏽‍♀️ 🌺 🐳 ⭐ ✨ 🧜‍♂️

This is a last day of Mer May inspired challenge! We can create icons that show mermaids/merfolk, real sea creatures and/or ocean scenery views (beaches, shores, waves, islands with seascapes and so on). If you are not using a screen cap or picture that has a scene of a merperson, ocean scenery, beach or sea creatures then adding stock images, brushes, decorations or fake backgrounds showing sea life or seascapes to any fandom or character icon is allowed.
Let me know if you would like me to supply some screen captures or more icon examples.
The previous Mermay challenge post has links to a few "mer" movie galleries.
