✅ New fic
✅ New fandom
✅ New oblivious, thirsty comphet-poisoned gay narrator

AO3 header for a fic titled "Square Peg" by pallas rose; fandom Heated Rivalry (TV), rating explicit, no warnings apply, category F/M, M/M and multi, pairing Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov/Svetlana Vetrova, relevant additional tags: threesome, AU - canon divergence, what if a different scorchingly hot woman had sex with shane and he figured himself out.

Summary: A different woman--in a very different situation--helps Shane understand himself, and for Shane and Ilya to begin to understand each other.

Or, Hollander and Rozanov are young, dumb and yearning, so they have a threesome: a tuna melt AU.

All of this. And I find I particularly recognise the 'vanquish insecurity'.
Ursula K. LeGuin pinpointed the 'unmeasured desire' for unassailable safety as one of the chief drivers of evil in the world.
And Christ, yes, I'm seeing it so much. In my personal life and in politics too.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

OF THE EMPIRE

We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

My webcomic ANNIVERSARY is launching? debuting? early 2026 on Neocities. very excited, been working on it for the past few years, and now it’s ready

For mature readers, it’s BL in a very loose sense. It’s gratuitous, sexy, and a bit gorey, set in an anachronistic medieval world.

If you're an American (or from another similar western nation) I cannot stress enough that you should look into the history of the atrocities the USA has committed in South America. This is not new and we cannot let the horrific crimes perpetuated in this nation's name repeat

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Twitter thread in Spanish by José Mario de la Garza, a human rights lawyer in Mexico, translated using Google Translate:

1. Overthrowing a dictator sounds morally right. No one mourns a tyrant. But international law wasn't built to protect the good, but to restrain the powerful. That's why it prohibits force almost without exception: not because it ignores injustice, but because it knows that if each country decides whom to "liberate" by force, the world reverts to the law of the strongest.

2. The problem is not Maduro. The problem is the precedent. When military force is used to change governments without clear rules, sovereignty ceases to be a limit and becomes an obstacle. Today it is “overthrowing a dictator”; tomorrow it will be “correcting an election,” “protecting interests,” “restoring order.” The law does not absolve dictatorships, but neither does it legitimize unilateral crusades.

Cont’d:

3. The uncomfortable question is not whether a tyrant deserves to fall, but who decides when and how. Because history teaches something brutal: removing a dictator is easy; building justice afterward is not. And when legality is broken in the name of good, what almost always follows is not freedom, but chaos, violence, and new victims. The law exists to remind us of this, even when it makes us uncomfortable.

Maduro isn't the problem: he's the face of the problem. Removing him from power would be merely opening the door. Behind him is the machine: Rodríguez, Cabello, the military command, the operators of repression and plunder. If you only change the person at the top and leave the system intact, what follows isn't democracy: it's a reshuffling.

And there's something even more difficult: Chavismo didn't just capture institutions, it captured daily life. Economy, media, bureaucracy, employment, fear, favors, blackmail. A country can't be "de-Chavistaized" by decree or by an electoral miracle. The real transition begins when that network is broken without setting the country ablaze.

The challenge is enormous, and it's also a moral one: to unite without vengeance, but without impunity. Targeted justice for those most responsible, truth for the victims, guarantees that the rest will dismantle the system, and a plan for people to live again—not just survive. Because freedom doesn't come with a new president: it comes when the state ceases to be a threat.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

new year means please remember to be like nice and normal about fat people, the fat person you are or could become, the fat person you could fall in love with or friends you could have. fatness is not a corrupting force, fatphobia is. the performance is unhealthy, weight loss is social is political

Forced domesticity. He has inane daily life conversations. He watches cartoons on TV. He tidies the shelves. He admires PLANTS.
He’s made to sing and dance and play erhu. Sometimes there’s kisses and hugs but he’s not able to initiate anything, only SY. The SY with the female avatar

OP lads au
fully aware that bingmei is more lads-canon personality (mix of Caleb and Rafayel but Xavier type jealousy)
But it’d be so funny if Bingge found his own SY through a screen. Bingge is courting a girl in his world which is fine, he’s a pan king. But SY is on the other side of the screen.

he does use the “sleep quality time” function but thats just bc he has an overactive mind at night and needs asmr to fall asleep it’s not bc binghe looks a bit sad if he doesn’t use that function every night
