Title: Trickery And Ancient Magic
Fandom: The Fantastic Journey
Rating/Warnings: PG
Bonus: No.
Word Count: 999
Summary: The travellers would have been better off if they’d listened to Willaway and avoided the carnival.
1993. I graduated in June of this year, had committed to my late partner (and her husband) that year, got kicked out of my father's home by his wife with his assent before I even graduated, did not walk the stage... Yeah. Ups and Downs.
28 films, and I actually know I saw most of them in theater, at least half first run and the rest in the cheap second run theater (that had an arcade and mini golf and batting cages in the same complex).
( sure why not do all 28 since I have nothing else on tap? )

Challenge 195
The new theme is...
Rainbow Pass-it-On 3
For this challenge, we can play, for a third time, rainbow next icon pass-it-on with the seven hues of the rainbow!
Again, we can use the modern rainbow not the Newtonian one. So we combine blue and indigo and add cyan after green.
These are the seven colors:
1. Red, 2. Orange, 3. Yellow, 4. Green, 5. Cyan, 6. Blue, 7. Violet (Purple)

Update:
- Work reveals will be on July 4, 11:59PM UTC.
---
Hi all, work reveals will be delayed at least 24 hours due to the outage. The new reveal date/time will depend on when AO3 is back up. I’ll wait about a day after AO3 is back, just in case anyone was planning on doing some proofreading/editing today and couldn’t due to the outage.
Creator reveals will also be delayed to 7 days after work reveals.
Stay tuned! I’ll post the new dates after AO3 comes back up!
- Work reveals will be on July 4, 11:59PM UTC.
- Creator reveals will be on July 11, 11:59PM UTC.
This is a 24-hour delay for both work and creator reveals. Thanks for being patient with the archive and me!

Journaling Prompt: Light up your journal with activity this month. Talk about your goals for July or for the second half of 2025.
Creative Prompt: Shine a light on your own creativity. Create anything you want (an image, an icon, a story, a poem, or a craft) and share it with your community.. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Getting the serious stuff -- and the huge elephant in the room -- out of the way, I'm trying to just keep living my life while The Sword Of Damocles hangs over my head (a feeling many of us are sharing no doubt). I'm continuing to take enjoyment wherever I can, helping where I can. I'm very concerned about the amount of people that are and will be experiencing food insecurity, so I've been and will continue to donate to a couple of local groups in my neighborhood: one serves hot meals, both at their facility and delivering to homebound, and the other distributes packaged food and sundries in the park every Saturday. And of course I'm donating to orgs like the ACLU who continue to do great work. Looking for other ways I can help.
Starting on July 14, I will be attending Karen Attiah's "Race, Media and International Affairs 101" class. She used to teach the class at Columbia, but they cancelled it because DEI (eyeroll). She took a survey on Bluesky to see if people would be interested in attending it as an independent series on Zoom and there was overwhelming interest. She's posted information on the class here (she's calling it Resistance Summer School). Summer session filled up, so she was offering a Fall session too and not sure if that has filled up yet. There's different pricing tiers and depending on which tier you choose there are certain perks. It looks to be a really interesting and informative class, so I'm looking forward to it.
I'll be continuing to swim and work out and do my best to stay fit. And reading. Lots and lots of reading, both serious stuff and light-hearted poolside.
On the creative side, I've taken up needlepoint and completed my first project. I started small, with a bookmark, and while the result is kind of sad (and the backing that came with the kit didn't fit the canvas well so I had to cut, and I have issues cutting in a straight line), it's not bad for a first try. And at least I chose a cute pattern. I'll be continuing to try different canvases.
( not quite a masterpiece under the cut )
I also wrote a story forintoabar, which I got some nice feedback on:

Summary: When she walked into the tea shop, she immediately recognized the girl sitting at the table...
And I'm already working on another story, which I hope to finish this summer.
I'm writing a story where my main character stops his friend, a dad to a 13-ish year old boy, from purchasing some anime manga books because the main character knows the book series is too adult (sex, violence, both) for a 13 year old. The main character then recommends a different series because the story line is more appropriate for the age of the teen.
The story is the relationship between the main character and the dad, so this is a small piece of the larger story. But I know absolutely nothing about anime (or manga, obviously!) and would appreciate some recommendations of titles that would fit those categories.
Thanks!
ETA: I'm looking for currently available titles and perhaps where they are best purchased (a bookstore, a comic book store, a specialty shop, online?)
ETA2: I'm looking US-centric here.
