Are You Smarter Than A Wreckerator?

Friends, if you'll indulge me, I'd like to take a moment and wax poetical about the world's somewhere-between-17th-and-52nd best education system.

You see, here in the States we learn everything we need in life, from the very basics:

(The difference between an apple and a bell pepper is more advanced.)

 

...to spelling and punctuation:

 

...to those oh-so-vital math skills.

 

We also have more advanced studies of the human, um... whatever this is:

I'm pretty sure that's butt stuff.

 

Here we're encouraged to keep writting(s?):

 

...to keep our stars shinning:

 

...and to always enhance that one student's mind's 2013:

That one's a little confusing, I'll grant you.

 

Because here in the US we honor our honor stundels:

 

...encouraging them to Imagin a world where they can Acheive their dreams:

A world where, say, all you have to do is copy little plastic signs for a living.

 

...from the very beginning of the school year:

 

...to the bitter(sweet?) end.

Yay.

 

Thanks to Janel J., Anony M., Kate B., Brittany J., Juli K., Anony M., Linda R.., Rae L., Tanya, Janica C. & Laura B. for the education.

P.S. Because I bet we could all use a drink after that:

"Santa's Flask" Stocking Booze Dispenser

This stocking can hold an entire bottle of wine! Better get two.

XANDER: Important? Let's start calculating those odds, people.
CORDELIA: What are you doing Friday night?
WESLEY: Uh, I, uh, as always my sacred duty as a Watcher prevents me from, ah... Why?
CORDELIA: I have a paper to write for English and you're English, so I thought ...
CORDELIA: (now to Buffy and Xander) What? Is it so wrong to be getting an insider's perspective?
CORDELIA: (continues to Wesley) I study best in a good restaurant, around eightish? Think it over?

Kicking off [community profile] rec_cember with a recent femslash fic (written for [community profile] rarepairexchange 2025) that blew my socks off. (Cross-posting this rec to [community profile] womansplace who are hosting a reccing event aligned with [community profile] rec_cember.)

All Summer in a Day by [archiveofourown.org profile] Luna
True Detective: Night Country, Liz Danvers/Evangeline Navarro, 3000 words, rated e, no archive warnings apply
Liz stops sleeping.

Some nights, she's busy trying to claw her way out from under an avalanche of paperwork. Some nights, she just can't keep her eyes closed. She can put on a sleep mask or bury her face in the pillows, but she's still aware of the light glowing out there, and the absence of anyone warm in the bed next to her.

(Or: six months later, a reunion.)

Post-canon reunion (or is it?). I loved the lyrical rhythm of the writing, and beautifully vivid descriptions of the landscape. Liz's sharp, cynical narrative voice is excellent, and I loved the thoughtfulness and depth of the characterization and the focus on their spiky, intense relationship. (And hot! It's very sexy, too.)

My dear bakers, I'm going to teach you how to spell "Congratulations" if it's the last thing I do. I mean it. We're going to sit down RIGHT NOW and hash this thing out, and I'm not giving up until each and every one of you can spell this word backwards, forwards, and without using a single letter "d." You hear me? I am NOT GIVING UP.

I give up.

Ok, look. How about you just abbreviate it?

Not that much.

No...

[head on desk] No...

[in fetal position under desk] Losing...faith...in humanity...

Does...does that really say "Congris"?

Does it?!

Ok, I have an idea.

[whispering in ear]

I'll take it.

Hey, Aimee T., David G., Colleen G., Lianne I., Super Happy Girl, Julie M., & Nicole V., you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand, do you? My cookie cake was slaughtered by a six-fingered hand.

P.S. I use a lot of faux flame candles on timers in my house, so at night they all pop on automatically like magic. LOVE THAT. And I keep adding more. If you want to deck out your space with the same warm-candle-glow look, here's a great starter set:

LED Flameless Candle Set With Remote Timer

You get TWELVE candles and two remotes for $30, which is an incredible deal. Dang. A lot of folks use these in their fireplaces, since the different sizes look great grouped together.

[personal profile] china_shop posting in [community profile] fan_flashworks
Our new challenge is:

BOSS



As always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you.

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Wednesday, 10th December. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

You can view stats for [community profile] fan_flashworks entries and search and filter them via the Community Report and Creator Report. See our FAQ post for more details.

In September, when we announced the new reports, we confirmed our plan to wait a couple of months and then remove the challenge tags from the comm. That time is drawing near.

This is a reminder that on 1 January 2026, the challenge tags will be going away.

Also, keep an eye out for the next [community profile] ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the [community profile] ffw_social comm, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

When you desperately hope they played "Jumping Jack Flash" at the reception:

 

And that they're just talking about driving here:

(It's as if millions of parents suddenly cried out in terror, "NoooOOOOOo!")

 

But mostly I just really, REALLY hope that's not a nipple:

GO HOME COOKIE MONSTER, YOU ARE DRUNK.

 

Thanks to Emily D., Angela N. & Camirae P., who tells me that IS a nipple, but if so, WHY IS IT THERE??

*****

P.S. Hang on, I can't just leave you with... that. So here's an adorable Chef Cookie Monster to make everything better:

He even brought you a cookie! D'awwww.
