Irish news sources are tuning in.
A screenshot of a bluesky post from The Journal @thejournal.ie. It reads: With South Korean groups like BTS, Blackpink, and Stray Kids among the biggest names in music, there's no better time to test how fluent you are in all things K-pop. The link is to a quiz at The Journal, with images of K-pop Demon Hunters and Jin.

UPDATE — NEW DEADLINE

Spindrift convinced me to extend the deadline by a week because so many of you have fics you've started but have stalled on. New deadline: 11:59 pm (GMT) on July 6th!

I’m being such a nerd today. 😭
A text exchange between Himself and me. I posted a photo of my desk, with a screen showing a tutorial video and an iPad in front of it where I’m painting the object in Procreate. It’s a collection of cattails and reedy leaves. The text messages read: Me: Omg omg I’m doing it I drew cattails! Next is a dragon fly. I’ll fuck it up but this is fun. Procreate is amazing Himself: Very nice! Nature’s inspiration for weiner cookouts. Me: Hahaha fire it up we gon eat

Three more from Weversecon to keep them entertained.
Nakakita Yuma, from &Team, at Weversecon 2025. He's wearing a tan shirt with a guitar graphic and an assortment of chain necklaces. His hair is dark and he has pale colour contacts in. He's holding a microphone and waterbottle, and looking directly at the camera while sticking his tongue out a bit (normal expression). Nakakita Yuma, from &Team, at Weversecon 2025.

Introducing two new cats to our household (which already had two cats) has been an adventure. They're still not besties, but we at least have a ceasefire.

Or did have a ceasefire.

Meet newcomer Marcie, who has figured out the best way to silence resident Casserole.

"Can you hear me now?"
A dark-haired woman wearing a pale melon-coloured crop top and loose harem pants. She has large earrings and a large necklace, and a belly-dancing belt with dangling coins. She's wearing a large gree cloak with supports in the ends, and her arms are outstretched, raising it up and spreading it like bird wings.

Okay, found it. ao3 decided to chew up my initial response (this image), so instead I had to use my words. So now I'm doubly annoyed.
A six-panel comic. In the first panel, a dark-haired person says, "I don't like thing." Subsequent panels show a bright light from above, then the descent of a mild-looking angel who hands the person a piece of paper. The final panel shows what's written on it — the single word "OK".

I present to you the Claiming of a Boyfriend, PLUS two stacks of pretty dorks.
&Team Jo and Yuma, on stage. During a skit, Yuma claimed he liked Jo most of all. Jo is on the left, smiling with his eyes closed and one arm around Yuma. Yuma is on the right, holding his microphone up to his mouth while pressing in for a light hug, his other arm around Jo. &Team. The group are in traditional Japanese clothing and have stacked themselves. From bottom to top is: Maki, Taki, Harua, Yuma, Jo, EJ, Nicholas, Fuma, and K. &Team. They are backstage somewhere and have stacked themselves. From bottom to top are Maki, Taki, Harua, Yuma, Jo, EJ, Nicholas, Fuma, and K.

First writing day in over a month. First insta post in longer than that. Trying to get back into the swing of things. Likely to fail, but the thing about swings — if you miss your first chance to jump on, they'll pass by again in a moment. Try again.

A limited view of my desk. In the center is a large tan and black coffee mug featuring Sherlock Holmes. Next to it is a square of dark chocolate with a corner nibbled off. Behind these is a stream deck with pastel buttons, and the large monitor I use beside my laptop. You can see a photo of Yuma form &Team on the screen, tucked to the side where I can see it while I write in other windows.

This stuff makes me so so so so so happy. I don't make it often, but it's amazing.
Bubbly Hot Crab Dip Ingredients: 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (see notes) ½ cup sour cream or greek yogurt ¼ cup half and half 8 ounces jumbo lump crab meat (canned or imitation will also work) ½ bunch scallions, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons sesame oil 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon soy sauce ¼ – ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) 1 cup shredded white cheddar, muenster, or Monterey jack cheese Method: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a small cast iron skillet or a small casserole dish with cooking spray. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer) beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, and half and half until the cheese is light and airy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the crab meat, half the scallions, sugar, sesame oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and fold using a rubber spatula until combined. Transfer the dip into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the shredded cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese melts and is hot and bubbly. Top with the remaining sliced scallions and serve while it’s still warm with pita chips, fried wonton chips, or tortilla chips! Leftover dip can be kept in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

A title card. An image of a cell phone background screen featuring Taki and Harua from &Team posing together. The time says 05:zz. There is a notification bubble that says "1 new voicemail" with a cherry emoji. The text of the card reads: a Cherriez story After the Tone &Team by ditzbang

This has been a heck of a day for me. I grabbed these and wanted to share them with you.
Nakakita Yuma from &Team in the MV for Go In Blind. His dark hair is shaggy over his eyes as he sings. His face and neck are lit before a dark background.

He is dressed in a green and black shirt with a peculiar woven pattern. His dark hair hangs before his eyes. Nakakita Yuma from &Team in the MV for Go In Blind.

I'm daydreaming again today while attending to more practical matters, and today's daydreams feature all this nonsense again. Yuma harassing Jo, Jo enjoying it, the usual.

I'm miserable.

The family has a new mascot, and I think one of the artists in the family is trying to figure out how to get it on a flag. We found a signed copy, limited run of this painting in a deep, dark corner of the new place’s attic. www.audreyhamiltonart.com/products/the...
Painting “The Kid” (link in post). A white background with a goat from mid-neck up. It’s outlined in black but the colours are bright, almost neon. Pink, yellow, dark blue, dots of orange.

Setting up the FUN corner of my desk space. It’ll be beneath a literary map of Ireland. The other corner is a huge bookshelf with my article morgue and research texts. Yawn.
A thin brown wood bookshelf with the beginnings of my K-pop stuff. So far SVT and &T are partially set up on it. An onigiri pillow and a moon pillow are on the windowsill behind it.

&Team Fuma atop the pile of things for the Go in Blind photo shoot. He has his arms outspread as if he's lord of the place. Nico sits on on the pile. &Team Fuma standing with one foot propped on something. His elbow is on his knee and he has a thumb hitched into his pocket. &Team Fuma sitting on the ground holding a stylised bazooka and making a finger heart with his cheek.

I don't have the bandwidth for them at the moment. I'll have to schedule any future breakdowns. Things are bad, pastel. Real bad. I am losing my mind today.
Jo from &Team. He is holding what appears to be a stiletto blade or some type of pick. He isn't facing the camera, but he is looking at it from the corner of his eye. The mood is dangerous. Yuma from &Team. He is dressed in a dark jacket. He appears to be holding a futuristic walkie-talkie. He has silver ornaments on his nails. The mood is ambiguous, but given his role as a deer hunter in a former comeback, it feels as if he's tracking/hunting again.

My latest short fic. A one-shot, about 2,700 words. Cosy, feelings realisation, friends to something.

Summary: Jo smelled like soap. Not the fancy herbal soaps with French names and woody undertones; it smelled like a plain white soap, a soap the colour of clean cotton, of summer clouds, of a blank canvas. It was this smell, the clean smell of a foggy meadow at early summer’s sunrise, that greeted Yuma when he stumbled into his room at 2 a.m.
