Also it was affixed here on the truck. CW: photo of a Cybertruck.

😂😂😂 It's supposed to make your skin brighter and reduce fine lines, and *allegedly* it's not bullshit! We shall see. You just wear it for 10 minutes a day, it's very low effort.

The podfic of Her Royal Highness by @escargot-on.bsky.social. Ed has some questions about an unusual lost pet poster in the neighborhood. They're answered when said lost pet falls into his hands. archiveofourown.org/works/55973770

💜💜 so thrilled with your recording of it, thank you!

Also, if you're in the Portland area, Lemon at Sonny's House is a gem, and their entire store is absolutely filled with queer literature, art, and joy - cannot recommend enough 💜

lmaooo one of the funniest (semi-)regrets of my life
comment in response to post
hahaha DECISIONS WERE MADE 🤣 I might have taken a different path if I'd anticipated I might write more than a single fic and/or ever talk to/befriend anyone, but... that was not where my mind was at the time!

13. Look, it's me! Come say hi any time! archiveofourown.org/users/spanis...

12. Hell yeah! OFMD is my first fandom, AO3 is my first fan works site! My whole life totally changed three years ago!

(part 2) "La Center" was "Spanish for 'the center'." So I made my AO3 name "spanishforthecar" (el car) and now I have an AO3 username that takes two posts to explain 👍🏼

11. Ugh okay. So. I made a new fandom Gmail account but I thought you had to use, like, a "real" name. So then I grabbed the first syllables of the first and last name I made up, which were El (that's where my name comes from) and Car. An irl and I used to joke that the Washington town (cont'd...)

10. Read fic outside the OFMD fandom? Me? This is not something I have ever done. (Though I hear there's some good shit in the Cars [Pixar movies] fandom iykyk)

9. The top of my MFL seems to be an early-days fic! "look what the cat dragged in" - archiveofourown.org/works/38246497 (There's actually one fic above it, from @petrichorca.bsky.social, but I've already read that - it remains MFL for a reread, because I was too overcome on read one to comment 💜)

8. Only five?? Seems fake. But I haven't been reading a ton lately (😭).

7. Please refer to my answer for #1 - it is so! fucking! cool! how many people are out here making fics more accessible, and adding their own cool twists to them.

6. I do listen to podfics, but typically only after I've done a visual read of the piece - my auditory processing is absolute shit so I need to already know what's going on to hear it, ya know? But love a podfic for commutes, jogs, cleaning...

5. Tag browsing is how I access my rarest, weirdest desires, which I shan't be sharing here 😇
comment in response to post
4. Ugh, my own work?? (Kidding. Kind of.) Probably 'Til Now, not so much because it's the longest & plottiest thing I've done, but because I left it for so long but didn't abandon it. I don't know what has the writing I'm most proud of, possibly that is still to come!

3. Most recent I finished was the amazing action-packed "Too Many Secrets" by @rottensoldier.bsky.social! I'm in the midst of so many great WIPs but the one I most recently visited was "There's a Bluebird in my Heart" by @veeagainsttheday.bsky.social & @asneakyfox.bsky.social *screeeeam*

2. Okay, so: I think PC and HoHW most likely? I didn't have AO3 or Twitter at the time so it's hard to track. The first fic I have bookmarked on AO3 is the classic "tomorrow is a long time" archiveofourown.org/works/39602154

1. The absolute best thing about this fandom is that I need SO much more context to answer this! Do they want canon-era? Compliant, divergent, pre, post? Or an AU? Modern or from any period of human history, or fantasy, or speculative...? Which pairing(s)? It's all available and it's all beautiful!
