Apr. 12th, 2026 08:42 pmContent Warnings: Suggestive content, a guy puts a gun to his head
Comments: I didn't expect this to be as much of a jazzy toe-tapper as it was! Honestly sounds like the kind of thing that would be the OP for a B-list mid-2000s shounen battle anime.
(Honestly, the real reason that I posted this was because I'm currently archiving the old jrockyaoi LJ comm, and kept reading comments about "lesbian nurses" associated with this song, so I just had to take a looksie, and I was not disappointed. Apparently, the vkei fujos of the early 2000s really liked the lesbian nurses...)

Apr. 12th, 2026 03:24 pmThe actual content of the game should be kryptonite to me on multiple levels, but I can enjoy and respect it because it fits together so well anyway. Like how I can enjoy Twelve Angry Men or Pink Floyd's The Wall despite both of them being wildly outside my usual taste.

The case of the missing notifications
Apr. 11th, 2026 11:58 pmI keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.
Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)
We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.
April Manga TBR 5
Apr. 11th, 2026 08:52 pmI read 10/12 on my last board. Another one already? Yes, suffering not only the usual tiredness issue but I'm also in a weird mood in general and it's throwing me off in new ways, yippee. (: I kinda just want to read smut tbh though I did actually enjoy everything on my last board that I read.

Can You Find This Fandom, post #1
Apr. 11th, 2026 09:46 pmGonna start* a hot new internet game: “Someone has posted a fic on AO3 with this New Fandom Tag. Can we figure out what fandom it’s referring to?”
*(No guarantee when/if I’ll continue…but I’m titling this “post #1” in an effort to be optimistic)
When I see a fandom (okay, mostly the webcomics) on AO3 that’s been lingering for a while without getting a canonical tag, sometimes I’ll put in a request for it to be canonized. But only if I have sources to include. As in “here’s the website, here’s the creator’s social media, here’s a wiki page, here’s any other info to confirm what the original canon is, so we can be sure the fandom tag gets the fitting AO3-standard format.”
Here are some tags where I went looking for the original webcomic, and couldn’t find it. So I’m tossing the links in front of the wider internet, like some kind of fandom sphinx. Can anyone track down the answers to these riddles…?
“Absolution Program (Webcomic)” – The work (Dec 2025) has great character tags with full names, but googling them doesn’t turn up anything. Some of the vocab has me wondering if it’s Homestuck-related. [ETA: AbsoPro links+info here! It's...confusing.]
“DeMo (Webcomic)” – Another work (Dec 2025) with full-name character tags, but no webcomics in the results. Googling “demo webcomic” is unhelpful for probably obvious reasons. [ETA: Might refer to this unreleased project; there's no public info yet, but the fic author knows the project author]
“faust (webcomic)” – Work (Feb 2026) is tagged with a couple dozen fandoms, no characters at all. I don’t even know which part of the work corresponds to this fandom, heh.
“Hellven (Web-comic)” – There are two findable webcomics with this title, HELLVEN – Lord Nomus (Webtoon) and Hellven – Luna (Tumblr)…but the characters in the fic (March 2026) don’t seem to come from either. Is there a secret third Hellven??
“Immortal (webcomic)” – Work (March 2026) is also a crossover with The Owl House and Undertale; all the character tags are from one of those canons. Always possible it’s a fancomic for one or both series. [ETA: Seems likely it's the comic being pre-planned on this blog]
Bonus note: If you’re curious how many of these there are, you can see all the not-synned-anywhere AO3 fandom tags in the Tag Search. (That list of results is “most-recent first”…so if you click on the last tag of Page 1 and look at the date the fic was posted, you’ll know “50 new fandom tags have been created since then.”)

Warnings:Rampant queer edgelordry in the lyrics if you look them up/know Japanese ;)
Comment:My favorite visual kei song changes with my exact Mood, but it keeps returning to this piece. Dark, gothic and operatic in that wonderful kote kei way, lyrics are kote kei edgelordery at their best, and I adore the electronic beat that runs in the background.

Chapter 4:

Aww! But also lmao. X'D And Toushirou speaking to it in in accented Japanese I can't.

🤣🤣🤣
Aww the Toushirou brothers sometimes massage Munechika's shoulders...until he had the idea of them using the backs of their blades?!
That ending, I can''t breathe!!!
Chapter 5: Saniwa recommended a horror movie to Kunihiro and Gokotai...

Gokotai using Yamanbagiri's blanket. 🥹
It was really cruel to get them to watch a horror movie like that though, even I would despair without steeling myself properly.
