Text post image with black background and white text that states: Since I started a KPDH fic while I still have some active Supercorp WIPs, I wanted to say that I haven't forgotten about these stories. Life got lyfing and the depression got heavy. Writing wasn't really possible for a while. These stories hold a very special place in my heart and mind. I want to do them justice. Working on other fics helps me to get back into a creative groove and gets me back to feeling confident in my ability to convey the story I want to put out. As a fic reader who has followed incomplete for years, I thank you all for being patient and not abandoning my subscriptions. I have not abandoned any stories and fully intent to complete these and even have more ideas for future fics. Encouragement and support from friends, other writers who've been instrumental in my journey, and my dear readers has gotten me through.

I've had @nitratefilm.bsky.social 's SCTober Embers fic stuck in my head, so I commissioned Supergirl by @papurrcat.art
It came out beautifully & really captures the feelings Snowy conveyed with her story. Thank you both for being so awesome & sharing your works.

I can’t- I can’t hear them yet,” her voice trembled, “and I- I keep thinking…” Kara shivered and Lena pulled her closer, “but I feel your heartbeat and I think… Maybe- Maybe this is real.”

Karie McGrath Interview by Pavel Barter in The Sunday Times Ireland today
The actress Katie McGrath was 23 years old when she left Ireland in 2007, another story in the [illegible] exodus of a [illegible]. Her [illegible] experience, however, was a unique one. She got her break as Morgana, an evil sorceress in the hit BBC series Merlin, and from there she climbed to the peaks of US television (Supergirl) and blockbuster movies (Jurassic World). She inspired action figures and kids’ costumes, and she was pictured as Morgana on commemorative postage stamps in the UK. All these years later, she still can’t quite believe it. "Looking at my path and how I got there, it was lightning in a bottle,” she says. “I filmed in Australia and South Africa and Hawaii, Newfoundland, all these crazy places." Fortune and glory overseas came at the expense of her family life in Ashford, Co Wicklow. "I used to get videos and phone calls from home: birthdays, new year celebrations, and everything. I was never there. I loved my job. I loved all it gave me. I’ve worked in so many amazing countries, but after a while a nice hotel room is just a hotel room. They’re all the same. You wonder about the work life balance, what you’re give up, and what you’re getting back. After a while I felt I was missing too much from home." McGrath, who I’m speaking to on a Zoom call, holds her laptop over her shoulder so I can see the Wicklow countryside behind her. "I moved back home a year ago,” she explains. “No matter what I do in another country, I still slot back in. I’m still a sister, still a daughter." Wicklow’s prodigal daughter has returned and her latest project is very apt. Brown Bread, which recently premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh, is a charming short film about a woman, played by McGrath, who returns to Ireland from New York to visit her parents (Fionnula Flanagan and Dermot Crowley). It explores the [illegible] between ambition, emigration, and family ties: "A story that a lot of people of our generation will understand and recognize. A good 90 percent of m… You can tell she's going to be a good feature director because of how sensitive she is. I truly believe you are seeing the start of a very stellar career." McGrath knows all about stellar careers. She worked on Merlin for five years until 2012. It was the first British drama in over 30 years to be shown on US network television (NBC) and sold to over 180 territories around the world. The actress describes herself as incredibly lucky to have played Morgana, an enchantress from the legend of King Arthur, “I didn’t go to drama school, so I didn’t know what I was doing. I made all of my mistakes on camera for everyone to see.” Yet her naivety proved fortuitous because her growing confidence as an actor was mirrored in her character arc, “By season four I was like, okay, now I know what I'm doing." She describes the show as her education. It set her up for a decade of roles in fantasy and royalty dramas – Labyrinth, Dracula, The Queen – in an era when audiences wanted escapism. In 2016 she hit gold again when she was cast as the villainous Lena Luthor in the American TV series Supergirl: a role that lasted another five years. Merlin and Supergirl created a vibrant fan community around McGrath. "They’re so intelligent, lovely, and kind. I don't have any social media – I’m not that kind of person – but fans were always very respectful and understanding. I count myself very lucky because they cared about me and how I lived my life. When I was doing Supergirl, a lot of girls would come up to me and say, ‘I really got into science and STEM because you played a scientist.’ You forget the reach you have and the power you have when you’re on a television in people’s homes." Her fan base was miffed when her Jurassic World (2015), in which her character was mauled and eaten by dinosaurs. But she thinks of the movie, which was one of the top ten highest grossing films of all time, as a career pinnacle. "I’m very proud of that. When I got my first call sheet, Steven Spielberg’s…

Katie McGrath in Brown Bread is going to break my heart, isn't she? 😭
Katie McGrath gif from the upcoming short film 'Brown Bread'. She is standing in front of a stone wall and dark red door. She is wearing a red long-sleeved button up, pulled tied across her chest with her arms crossed. She has a black undershirt and her dark hair is pulled into a low bun. She has large, wide loop earrings. The gif motion is one hand tightening is grip on her own arm as she looks from down to over with a small contemplative smirk.

I did #makeaterriblecomicday2025
6 panel comic. Panel 1: White page with text- "Today is make a terrible comic day... I've never made a comic before (and don't really draw)". Panel 2: White page with a poorly and disproportionately drawn pond, three trees, some spotty flowers, and a duck with quack written above it. Text above: "Art is hard". Text below: "esp when you have to consider scale and shading". The comic panel is off kelter in the bottom corner where the words needed more space. Panel 3: White with text- "or when you have no idea what to do next..." and the panel is much smaller than the others. Panel 4: White with text- "But that's why I love and respect human artists. Because AI is bad for Earth, your brain, and is created from stolen work!" Panel 5: White with text- "So don't be a jerk. Commission an artist or do it yourself even if it's not great. Cause not great is still better than AI". The panel is drawn wider to accommodate the words. Panel 6: White with a circle emoji style wide-smile face and two lines drawn upwards like arms in joy. There's multicolored spots drawn all around like confetti. Text above: "Whew. I did it." Text below: "That was fun!"

Katie McGrath as Jen in The Ex-Wife S2 wearing black. Her arms are crossed with a large bracelet on her right arm. Her hair is down, with large curls, and she's looking off frame. There's a green leaf blocking the bottom left corner and an off-white wall in the background. Melissa Benoist as Bree Buckley in The Waterfront, Netflix series airing June 19. Photo is taken from the side with her looking straight off as if through a window from outside. Her hands are on her hips and her hair is down. The image is cut off just below her waist, but she's wearing ratty looking stylish jeans with a short grey t-shirt that shows her midriff. She has a couple of necklaces, an earring in her left ear (right ear not shown), and a watch on her left wrist. The surroundings are dark, but there is a light shining in the background that's reflecting off an overhang and wall.

Screenshot of the article which lists "4. Melissa Benoist as Bree Buckley" then shows an image from the show of two people standing on a pier next to pilings. A man on the left and a woman, Melissa Benoist portraying Bree Buckley, on the right. She is leaning back against the piling and looking over her shoulder at something out of frame. There is water and marshland in the background with trees in the distance and a cloudy grey sky. Text from the article states: Bree is the black sheep who’s not afraid to bite back. Once a brilliant financial advisor, now a recovering addict, she returns to Havenport trying to reclaim custody of her son and maybe even her dignity. Bree is raw, unapologetic, and constantly battling her own demons—and Melissa Benoist absolutely nails the messy beauty of that. Text from the article: Where You’ve Seen Her: You know her as Supergirl, the hopeful and strong superhero who always sees the good in others. Also you know her for Glee. But in The Waterfront, Benoist gets to go darker, tapping into the grit she first showed in Whiplash and later in Waco. This is her chance to show just how much range she really has.

Art imitates life. Media shows what's possible. Our desire and right to freedom in our lives is natural. Their oppression and need for control is not.
Live your life.
Don't give in.
Try.
A black background with white lettering writing out Nemik's Rebellion Manifesto from the Star Wars show Andor that states: There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this: The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this: the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try.
