Name: Regis

Age: 46

I mostly post about: My life as a bipolar gay man, fandoms and things that pique my interest.

My hobbies are: I mainly just surf the net and collect physical media. I prefer it over streaming.

My fandoms are: Twin Peaks, Friday the 13th, SAW Monk, Sherlock, Murder She Wrote, Perry Mason... Let's just say I like a lot of mystery programs.

I'm looking to meet people who: I wouldn't mind finding other gays with my interests. I am not picky though. I will take anyone. I am trying to make new friends in 2026. Take the edge off of today's misery.

My posting schedule tends to be: daily/weekly/monthly/sporadic/etc I tend to write when the spirit in me is strong. I try to post everyday but lately I've been too weak in the mind to get any words on the screen.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Homophobic people that are MAGA like Trump. DIsgusting pictures are sometimes banned but I like horror movies. So, they tend to be few and far between.

Before adding me, you should know: I am gay and do talk about the and my depression at some length. Also, I am known to post hunky guys on holidays and special occasions/

This is a difficult book to review as almost all of the plot is technically spoilery, but you can also figure out a lot of it from about page three. I'll synopsize the first two chapters here. We follow two storylines, both set in an alternate England where Hitler was assassinated in 1943 and England made peace with Germany.

In one storyline, a young girl named Nancy lives an isolated life with her parents. In the other, which gets much more page time, three identical young boys are raised by three "mothers," in a home in extremely weird circumstances. They rarely see the outside world, they're often sick and take medicine, their dreams are meticulously recorded by the "mothers," and all their schooling comes from a set of weird encyclopedias that supposedly contain all the knowledge in the world, which are also the only books they have access to. There used to be 40 boys, but when they recover from their mysterious illness, they get to go to Margate, a wonderful vacationland, forever.

I'm sure you can figure out the general outline of what's going on with the boys, at least, just from this. What's up with the girl doesn't become clear for a while.

( Spoilers through about the 40% mark )

( Spoilers for the entire book )

This book was critically acclaimed - it was a Kirkus best book of 2025 - but I thought it had major flaws, which unfortunately I can only describe by spoiling the entire book. It's not at all an original idea, and I do think we're supposed to be ahead of the characters, but maybe not that much ahead. It also contained a trope which I hate very much and its thesis contradicted itself, but how, again, is under the end cut. It's a very serious book about very serious real life stuff, but that part really didn't work for me because of spoilers.

Lots of people loved it though. It would probably make an interesting paired reading with a certain very acclaimed spoilery book (( Read more... )), which I have not read as I have been spoiled for the entire story and it doesn't really sound like something I'd enjoy no matter how great it is. But I suspect that it's the better version of this book.

i want to start using this site a bit more, so why not.
name: aatrox
age: early 20s
country: im in latin america.
subscription/access policy: i dont plan on making anything friends/access only, not right now anyway. so sub if you think reading my stuff would be cool. i dont plan on posting any NSFW, and id appreciate if you didnt give me access if you post NSFW frequently.

main fandoms: switches a lot, but currently its sega dreamcast games (especially sonic & phantasy star), pokemon, league of legends, and madoka magica.
other fandoms: mario & dk, undertale, 07th expansion, danganronpa, touhou, ace attorney, fighting games, homicipher, houseki no kuni. i have more interests on my sticky post, but its a bit outdated.
fannish interests: art, selfshipping, meta & analysis. also into internet archeology, which naturally bleeds over to fandom. i dont read fanfics.
ships: hard time naming any that would match with someone else nowadays, because all i like is crackships. its easier to name ships i dislike than like.

i like to post about: ive been mostly posting reviews of games ive played recently, but like i said i might start posting more general stuff. i dont currently plan on posting anything thats too outside fannish interests, so dont worry if you dont want to see unrelated rambles.
journal info: i make lenghty posts that ramble a lot and i dont typically cut them. SORRY.
other info: i dont plan on getting into this kind of discourse here, but right off the bat, if youre into ships that are between adult and children, or incest, or indulge in erotic content that involves characters who are children, dont interact with me please. for less serious topics, we might not get super along if youre more into works that are live action/use real actors, its just not stuff im into. finally im a selfshipper and its a big part of my online identity; feel free to ask for details if youre also into that, but dont involve me in discourse.

I went to the cemetery today to take photos of all the snow we've been getting, and it was gorgeous. Even better, the snow came out - only for about fifteen minutes but it was magical

It's the end of my last day of holiday, and it snowed overnight! This was the absolute perfect end to what's been a delightful twelve days (made better by the fact that I didn't have to leave the house at 7am for a train commute that was likely to have been disrupted by the weather). I went to the pool for a final morning swim, and it was blissfully empty: I had the lane to myself, and swam 1km in twenty minutes. I also went for a little wander around town. All the children had congregated in Ely's sole grass-covered hill, and were tobogganing, having snowball fights, and making snowmen. Everyone was in a great mood. I took a lot of photos.

I skipped the second

snowflake_challenge prompt, but I'm back for the third: Write a love letter to fandom. It might be to fandom in general, to a particular fandom, favourite character, anything at all.

No Man's Land: Volume 2 by Sarah A. Hoyt

The second of three volumes. This is not a trilogy of separate stories, but dictated by the limits of modern-day binding technology. Spoilers ahead for the first volume. Also, do not read this one first because you will be baffled.

From all overish:

Grab the nearest book.
Turn to page 126
The 6th full sentence is your life in 2026.

Huh. The nearest book is (probably) Eve Babitz, Eve's Hollywood (1974), and the sentence is

'And songs.'

Hmmmmm.

Alternatively, the nearest book is Callum G Brown, 90 Humanists and the Ethical Transition of Britain: the Open Conspiracy, 1930-80, in which p 126 is a blank page between chapters.

I rather liked this, because it accords with a lot of my own feelings that The Internet is not entirely a seething pit of toxicity and there are, actually, benefits:

[A]s someone who, like millions of others, lives in a different place to where I grew up, interacting with other people’s lives online and posting about my own could still provide a surprisingly wholesome function. It’s not just about bitching about my ex-classmates being arrested or getting into multi-level marketing scams. It’s also a way to stay connected, to feel less homesick.
During the pandemic, and before that when I had to isolate myself during chemotherapy, social media wasn’t just a distraction; it was a lifeline. It was a way to feel sane and engaged with people I couldn’t reach out and touch. If we couldn’t be together in person, I could at least see snippets of their world.
Even now that I am free to be out and about, I miss those snippets. I wish we weren’t too cool or too bored or too frightened of being judged to invite each other into our online lives a bit more. I think it’s time to bring back that connection.

***

*Though I had a version of 'the place that was there just now has disappeared' dream last night, where I was in some kind of train station, or maybe it was a platform with indicators, and saw a destination and time that I didn't need at that moment, and went back again because that was now what I wanted, and of course it was all different. Symbolickal?

Metamorpho has been one of DC’s second-tier stars since 1965, and unlike a lot of characters without long-running series of their own, he’s retained his supporting cast.
