I have a battery of tests aimed at me for the leg weakness, in case it's neurological.
And my primary care is leaving (again) within a few months. They said last time that I would be assigned to someone in the same practice. That was inaccurate. They're saying it again this time, so I will prepare for battle.
Cats are nice and warm, and extraordinarily heavy on the knees.

Pairings/Characters: Bumblebee/Ironhide
Rating: Not Rated (I’m going to say Teen And Up; this is brazen steaming erotica, but performed in terms that circumvent meat-centric censorship laws.)
Length: ~800

Theme: Crack Treated Seriously, Pre-AO3 Works, Rare Pairings, Robots, Androids & AI, Worldbuilding, Xeno/Alien Biology
Summary: It was many years since Bumblebee had taken a lover, and as he looked up at Ironhide, he could feel his body trembling. "What do you think we will become?"
Ironhide smiled, and the familiar metallic sound of that motion made Bumblebee shiver. "I don't know, 'Bee. But I can't wait to find out."
Author’s Notes: Perhaps I am more comfortable writing porn with no recognizable gonads????
Reccer's Notes:
Bumblebee's first partner-- so long ago-- had been a sweet thing, and the result of their coupling-- a windmill, turning lazily in the winds of Cybertron-- had been as gentle and solid as their relationship. Once, in the later days of the war, Bumblebee had thrown caution to the wind and mated with an old friend turned traitor, temporary truce formed through their mutual desperation. The result had been a ravenous sawmill, capable of churning through any kind of metal. The sheer power had been intoxicating, but afterward, Bumblebee had felt empty, used. Lonely.
But so many years later, curving up against Ironhide's warm bulk, he knew this would be different. He knew they couldn't help but become something wonderful.
This is another fandom where I scarcely go (and therefore don’t know how common this trope is), but transformation and fusion here become an ecstatic discovery in ways that anticipate Steven Universe. (And don’t miss the avalanche of gleeful bawdy squee in the comments!)

MLK Day
Jan. 19th, 2026 11:02 pmcornerofmadnessSo I'm off today and I decided I didn't want to spend it in this apartment even though I should be here working on the 10001 things I need to be doing. Is it frigid out? You betcha. Am I going? You betcha. Especially when the power failed again just for a few seconds but lately it's been doing that off and on all day.
Chillicothe OH was doing the restaurant thing that they do in NYC, which I think I mentioned so I pick three places to hit. I went to Paper City Coffee. If they had a special for this event it wasn't listed. It's a nice enough space. The two ladies ahead of me were raving about the maple bourbon latte. I decided why not? The chairs were not great in this place but it's clean and bright and I found parking on the side street for free (on Paint St which is a main artery it's pay to park). It doesn't taste like maple or bourbon. It's not bad but it wasn't what I was hoping for. It's not as good as Rost was but that's gone and the Connect Cafe that took its place fucked up a peppermint mocha so I guess Paper City can be my coffee place when I'm up there
I went to Hometown Hibachi where I did have to pay to park (it's a buck an hour so it's not too horrible and I always have quarters) It's 2 pm. this place is small, about a dozen tables. There was ONE open and three of them had families with babies howling. They also didn't offer the promised event special which fine. I wanted the chicken katsu ramen any how. Got instant fomo when I saw the hibachi meals (next time) The ramen was spicier than anticipated but good. The katsu was a weird choice on my part it wasn't cut small (and that reminded me of when I was with ELD and got something similar at her ramen joint) so it was awkward if tasty. I'd go again.
TJ Maxx had a bunch of stuff I needed, boring things like shower mat (mine's ripping) and shower curtain liner (I was trying to clean my ancient one and I'm like why? It's less than my cup of coffee) I tried their Aldi because it looked bigger than mine down here. It wasn't. Got more cheese.
Came outside and the wind had picked up. If I had a tarp, I could have sailed home, no engine on. It was wild out there. Speaking of that I had to put the rags in my door to keep the draft out. That's when Rocket decides I MUST GO OUT. Five mi nutes later.... Also I tried to see the aurora again. No dice.
it's music monday 30 weeks of music. This week's prompt is 10 a song you know all the words to. There are SO many
( here are a few )
here's the whole prompt list
( it's under here )

Jan. 19th, 2026 08:13 pmhafniaTOO MANY FEELINGS (and nowhere to put them), so I've been participating in threesentenceficathon and writing fanfic for the first time in, oh, 20 years?
Fills (in no particular order):
Secret Garden, Dickon/Mary, "April is the cruelest month/breeding lilacs out of the dead land"
Star Trek, Any F/F, otherworldly
Narnia, any, assign a dnd class to a character
Sinners, Stack/Mary, survivors
Any, any, He died alone. The neighbors buried him.
The Darkangel, Aeriel/Erin, star (or planet) gazing
Narnia, any, My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
Grey's Anatomy, George, his last thoughts before he died
Narnia, Susan arrives in the true Narnia
The Left Hand of Darkness, Genly Ai/Estraven, nightfall
Alien/Aliens, Ellen Ripley, haunted by everyone she couldn't save
Silmarillion/LOTR, any, came back wrong
Knives Out & any fandom, any, can Benoit Blanc solve the case in this canon?
Am genuinely sort of impressed with myself that most of 'em are only 3 sentences (however tortured those sentences are).
Will update as I fill more, probably. Have left exactly two (2) prompts, have fun finding them (if that's your thing), they're for Weird Shit.

reputation vs reality (but not as it applies to the grandmaster of demonic cultivation)
Jan. 19th, 2026 10:06 pmstarandreaLLM as AI is everywhere in the language-learning space, from chatbot "tutors" to my favorite prompt: "Tell me about this story in another language." So I'm learning, as they say, through immersion.
Here's what NotebookLM produced when I asked for its basic "deep dive" on "The Untamed," using only the episode transcripts as a source. It makes mistakes, but I was particularly interested in what it identified as important and why.
Also, it was unexpectedly funny.
(This is actually a Turboscribe transcript of the podcast NotebookLM produced; I've labeled the speakers "Host 1" and "Host 2.")

Today's Adventures
Jan. 19th, 2026 08:03 pmysabetwordsmithToday I made Crockpot Xawaash Chicken Stew. I added some chopped cherry tomatoes. They worked pretty well, but didn't cook very evenly.
I also made Sour Cream Biscuits. We had sour cream left over from a previous recipe. Honestly, I thought these were a failure because they didn't fluff up at all. The texture is more like a dumpling than a biscuit. But they have a great sour cream flavor, and they worked quite well with the stew. If you have spare sour cream, it's worth a try.

BONE BROTTTTHHHH!!!
Jan. 19th, 2026 05:56 pmlb_leeMori: since I wasn’t going to be much good for anything else today, I decided to make bone broth, since it takes a gazillion hours and requires nothing but you sitting to make sure it don’t catch fire. You just take your bones and various veggie odds’n’ends (I had about a chicken and a half worth of bones, plus carrot stubs, a onion, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns), pour water over ‘em, and simmer for a million years. I been simmering that shit for going on seven hours now; the recipe I got said up to twelve but no way can I stay up to 2AM for that.
It’s still pretty weak, but it’s all my body wants and I swear this is the most delicious shit I done ever put in my mouth. My body is ENTHUSIASTIC about it, and it been enthusiastic about jack fucking shit today.
I AM NEVER NOT MAKING BONE BROTH EVER AGAIN.
