I planned for the next part in this series to be the Max Lord spotlight in Justice League International #24, but that’ll come early next week.

Warning for some discussion of age-inappropriate relationships and creators with tainted histories.

DC’s Secret Origins series did all JLI-themed origin stories for three issues, after doing the Justice Society and the original Justice League of America. Each issue had three stories: this one includes Mister Miracle and Oberon, Fire/Green Flame, and Ice/Icemaiden. No, Fire shouldn't be able to fly on that cover; just go with it. YES, ice-bridges are more Iceman's thing, JUST GO WITH IT.

Mister Miracle and Oberon’s story is “Escapism” by Mike Carlin and Don Heck. It’s a split-page compare-and-contrast exercise.

( You see, Mister Miracle is...TALL, and… )

What I Just Finished Reading: Since last Wednesday I have read/finished reading: Nothing. A lot of fanfic. But I did DNF a book (see below).

What I am Currently Reading: Dogged Pursuit (Andy Carpenter Series) by David Rosenfelt.

What I Plan to Read Next: I have two books waiting for me at the library, so one of those.

DNF: Guardian of the Horizon (An Amelia Peabody Mystery) (Elizabeth Peters)

I didn’t so much DNF this book as DNS (Did Not Start) it. I recently learned that this author wrote stories from the ‘lost season’. (The time between the books.) I was not pleased with that information because I do not want to go backwards and I hoped that this next book in the series (which I had already requested from the libarary) was not one of those ‘lost season’ books. Dear reader, I hoped in vain. ( more back here )

The Goodreads description does include the information that the book is from the ‘lost season’; I wish I’d know about these books so I could have read them in the proper ‘order’ time-wise (rather than publication-wise). But you can, if you’re just getting into the series! Thankfully not all of the books in the rest of the series are from a ‘lost season’, so I have requested the book after this one from the library.

We were up early again because Pip had a coughing fit and couldn’t get back to sleep: 4:10am. I did not want to get up early again, and yet. At least it gave me more time to get stuff done.

I hit Price Chopper while I was downtown and stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts (because mom wants to take a treat to the clinic today, her second-to-last day!!).

I drove mom to her appointment, hand-washed dishes, emptied the dishwasher and ran another load, went for a couple walks with Pip and the dogs, baked chicken for the dogs’ meals, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter. I also made banana bread! One loaf is for Thanksgiving, one is for Sister A’s b-day, and the other is for us to enjoy! We had baked haddock for supper and still-warm banana bread was my evening snack.

Started a new Andy Carpenter book! Walt Disney's Animal Kingdom (or whatever it's called these days) was my evening background tv.

Temps started out at 32.7(F) and reached 50.0. It was overcast all day.

ETA: I forgot to mention the new developments in the Pumpkin Pie Fiasco! ( cutting for length )

Mom Update:

Mom was not feeling well again. ( more back here )

It was an easy open study lab today and they were playing music when one of them pipes up, do you like music Doctor Evans?

Yes, I love music. Feel free to play it.

Girl from the back. Did you listen to Jacob Sartorius? (her table had suggested it last week when they were using him to remember the sartorius thigh muscle)

Yes, I liked it.

What did you listen to?

Ladies it's been a week, I don't remember.

Guy from the front - Do you like rap?

Me - it's not my favorite genre but I listen to some of it.

WHO?!?

Me - Oh, they're all old now. Run DMC, Will Smith when he was the Fresh Prince, Sir Mix-a-lot, Tone Loc

Guy from the front - do you like Nas?

Me - I've not really heard his stuff but I like Little Nas X

Them- holding up phone, what's this one? (obviously thinking Doc Dana is trying to be the cool prof who knows music)

two notes

me - Old Town Road, Little Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus

they start giggling. loudly.

The phone goes up. More music.

Me -three seconds in, Get Jiggy with it, Will Smith

More giggling.

Them - Dance

Me - Just play your music.

They weren't sure if it was a dare or not so the phone went away.

We had some of the other testing too. It's week 15 of 16 after all. Can't I have extra extra credit. No.

I NEED to pass this class to graduate. Can't I have a D? I'm desperate. 1. that's not passing 2. You have a 38%. No. I mean you'd have to sacrifice to the elder gods to pass at this point.

Let's hit the fannish fun for fannish 50 For one, sharing this again because Blake and this song hit the Billboard top 100 (at 98 but my god it's less than 3 minutes) Also move over Jessica Rabbit, another animated lounge singer is after your crown

Work today was a lot, but I got done everything I needed to get done and got out. There are stories I could tell but I'm too tired right now to rehash some of the nonsense my coworkers get up to.

Tomorrow, I am heading out to the island for Thanksgiving, and also to see Baby Miss L. She turns three on Monday! THREE! How is that even possible!? (I'm sure I will be posting the same exact thing on Monday.) But they are not having a family party for her, just a friends party, since she has so many friends now! She is quite the social butterfly! So I've packed up the books and clothes that are her birthday gift (and 1 toy - a magnetic tile thing she can build things with), and tomorrow she can open her presents! They go to my niece's in-laws for Thanksgiving (so they spend Christmas day with us), so I might not see her on the day itself, but that's okay I guess, especially if I get some time tomorrow. Plus, middle niece is going to stop by since she is working on Thursday (she's a nurse), so I will get to see her as well. All in all a good time, I hope!

If I don't get a chance to post tomorrow, I hope everyone celebrating has a Happy Thanksgiving! And everyone else has a great Friday Eve, also known as Thursday.

These questions by heartovmidnight for Friday Five.

1. What's your favourite TV network?
The one I watch most is Youtube. And ID or other true crime shows.

2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be?
Cozy British murder mysteries or crime shows with actors I like. And I have a weakness for sitcoms.

3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back?
Not as a child but I would like more Firefly.

4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show?
I don't see the appeal of most reality shows, but to each his own.

5. What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD?
I have a bookcase full of show dvds; I don't buy streaming. I'd buy The Mandalorian.

In the top right corner is a cartoon man with a magnifying glass looking down. On the left side is an image of Margaery giving Sansa a rose. Text reads 'Feature Article, Sansa Stark/Margaery Tyrell'. On the right side is the reminder of the text is from the featured article post.

Welcome one, welcome all to the Fanlore Featured Article; the ship of Sansaery, a femslash pair between the intelligent Sansa Stark of Winterfell, and the cunning Margaery Tyrell of Highgarden. In the canon these two queens are friends, both working towards securing their political ambitions and surviving the fictional book series (and future TV series) “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R. R. Martin published 1996 to current.

The Sansa Stark/Margaery Tyrell tag started off as a rare pair to enjoy but eventually exploded in popularity with the on-screen interaction between these two powerful women on the TV show Game of Thrones (“And Now His Watch Is Ended” during Season 3, episode 4). Fans attribute the episode to seeing the softer side we see of Margaery and the undertones of flirtation within their dialog, which left viewers seeing some undercurrents of romantic connection. This ship still holds power and place today as one of the most popular ships for the Game of Thrones franchise on AO3 while also holding high in published works for femslash on the site. These two ladies come together in the canon setting or even fun AUs like modern meet cutes.

If you want to see some of the highlighted fic recommendations or beautiful fanart of these two queens together head over to the Fanlore page and read on (and maybe get inspired to write your own).

Summary:

Various stories, following the friends from their novel adventures

Even I have my limits on 'winging it'. Scanner had been inventive, but we still had deteriorating dilithium crystals and were in, to use a Terran saying, B.F.E. near Gorn space.

I didn't lose my temper, something Sarda reassured me across our bond was for the best. I left the bridge, went down to our poor engineer, found Dyson had beat me there.

"Tell me what to do; Sarda has the conn."

"Aye aye captain," Skellus said, giving me tools and directions.

It was going to mean minimal power, and Scanner had saved us, but we'd get back to base.

Well, Illyana has had a couple, Sam and Berto were apparently due to get one in the Krakoan era but it got shelved, and Doug has had his own "upgrade" but now it's someone who has definitely earned one.

Yup, Dani Moonstar is getting a solo miniseries!

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it.

The US presented a new "peace plan" for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but it appears that things got confused somewhere along the way and they presented Vladimir Putin's Christmas wish list instead.

Trump and New York Mayor elect Zohran Mamdani had a bizarrely cordial meeting last week, which perhaps shows that flattery DOES get you everything.

Six US Lawmakers who are also veterans of various military and security services released a video reminding folks that "Following orders which are unlawful is a very bad idea", which apparently was seen as such a controversial move that at least one of the six is now being investigated by the Pentagon. Presumably for "Remembering the lessons of the Nuremberg trials" or something.

The website-formerly-known-as-Twitter added a new feature last week, which allowed you to see what country an account was created in, and hilarity ensued as any number of pro-Trump accounts claiming to be proudly American turned out to be not remotely American at all. The new feature has now apparently been turned off.... the more paranoid among us might wonder why.

And the UK has an exciting (there might be other, better, words to describe it) Budget to look forward to tomorrow.

Also to note the passing of reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, at 81.

To those working retail on Black Friday, may your shoes be comfortable, may your breaks be enforced and may your customers be as mellow as possible.
