Games thread!

Big and chunky, nice. Love the radar head too.

Even his Culture ripoff novel for Doctor Who is dripping with copaganda, the guy has issues with sucking up to cops.

Food thread

[(Anonymous)]

I'm on a diet due to my busted liver, so please, everyone, tell me about your recent meals. Or meals you are planning on having. Let me live, culinary speaking, vicariously through you.

What do you think of Paul Cornell? His supernatural London protagonists are cops, but they’re definitely not pro-cop
propaganda.

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and I'll try my best to use an appropriate image choice. Just to clarify - it's my intention to make all the secrets left in this thread, so even if they're not marked claimed, they will be made.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker

I know, it's both baffling AND kind of toxic, but I don't really get into much discussion with other fans about it outside of FS. It's been a case of culture shock, getting used to the casual sexism and antiquated gender roles in cdramas. AT BEST, you still get remarks like, "She couldn't do [something good OR something bad], she's just a girl!" when referring to adult women. And that was in a modern cdrama, mind you, not a historical one.

But I also see some major crushing on the male lead (especially if it's a popular actor) and a lot of the hate comes from toxic jealousy that is (somehow) socially acceptable? I see this more in the actual Chinese-in-mainland-China fandom, not the western portion, though I don't doubt it exists there, too.

It's also really, really rare to see a truly independent female lead. A lot of them start off promisingly, but as soon as the romance arc reaches a certain point they're reduced to the same stereotype of the child-like fragile flower. Any abilities or goals they might've started with sometimes just... vanish? Because their whole world now centers around the male lead, and nothing else. It's one of my least favorite things about cdramas, and this is usually why I avoid the romances.

I've been on a stir-fry kick and my recent experiment was Sichuan green beans:

I had to leave out the peppercorns because I couldn't source them, but it's delicious... spicy, pungent green beans with a kick. I added a bit of ground pork, too.

[(Anonymous)]

I must ask, what fandoms love strong female leads? I'm a slasher, I'm focused on two guys in my fandoms, so I may be missing these fandoms, but I can't even think of what they might be. Hit me!

[sabotabby]

Yeah, I felt the same. Also he is clearly obsessed with architecture and history and music and I would have loved the exact same thing but with an architect or an historian or a musician or something.

[sabotabby]

I think it was better in many ways when they had a lower budget and cheesy props.

I've been craving this spicy basil duck fried rice from the Thai place down the street. Its so good, idk if you like duck or not but if you do, its one of the best duck dishes I've ever eaten. Fried rice with red peppers, peas, carrots, and egg, with lots of tea-smoked duck meat with crispy skin and little cherry tomatoes that pop open during cooking and give the dish a fresh tomatoey burst of flavor that complements both the smoky duck and the spiciness of the fresh Thai basil leaves. I love having it with a glass of pinot grigio, but a Thai iced tea is also very hard to beat.
