Mona, a black Scottish terrier with a purple collar, sits at her neighborhood watch post on a black leather windowseat in front of the wood-framed living room window.

As the flight approaches LaGuardia from the south, the view of the tip of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn and Jersey City is always a welcoming sight. Multiple boats zoom back and forth across the bay on the Fall day.

Void cat was grooming the dog, and the dog was ... unsure about it??

Blown out photo of void cat on windowseat with his paw on a norwegian elkhound's lower jaw as the dog opens his mouth almost wide enough to encompass the cat's head.

Midday scene from the window of a subway car on elevated tracks as it meanders under a sunny blue sky in a growing City, facing back towards the City borough from which we have just come; the ninety-degree curve in the tracks offers a prespective looking back along the same elevated track as it scissors into a busy automobile bridge and dives under a deep river leading underground, beneath the skyscrapers and supertall buildings forming a famous skyline in the horizon; in the foreground, this area of the borough — once all industrial and warehouse space — continues to undergo rapid and dramatic gentrification and has become a hotspot for wealthy, young, urban professionals; trees lining the traffic-jammed streets below are also quickly changing into their autumn colours.

Sound on. An Airbus A321 at full power, first thing in the morning out of Boston. Then wait for the skyline.

Window seat or aisle for takeoff?

Day 3 of #DAvember - Lover

This modern AU scene has been in my head for a very long time 🥰 and for once it's fluff! I know, I'm as surprised as you are.

Rhys belongs to the wonderful @dalishbandit.bsky.social 💜
The lyrics in the text belong to Sleep Token 🦩

#ElionDeRiva #RhysDeRiva

Rhys (left) and Elion (right) stealing an intimate moment on the dawn-lit streets of Minrathous, when they should probably be working or something. I won't tell if you don't.

[1/3]

It's 3am, and Elion still can't sleep. Apparently even the pitch darkness, muffled white-noise of the city and the warm comforting weight of Rhys sleeping against his back isn't going to be enough tonight.

With a silent sigh of resignation, he carefully extricates himself from the blankets and folds the spare edge back over Rhys's sleeping form for extra warmth. At the movement, Rhys shifts in his sleep, one hand reaching out blindly but Elion catches it gently and tucks it back into the blankets.

'Rest, love. I'm not going far.'

On silent feet he walks through to the kitchen, pours himself a glass of water and reaches for the phone lying face-down on the counter. It unlocks with his thumb-print but, to his surprise, he's greeted by his own face as the home-screen background. He's picked up Rhys's phone by mistake. The photo isn't even a good one, just a slightly-blurry candid shot of Elion laughing, but it makes him smile all the same.

[2/3]

He's about to lock the phone again and set it down, when he notices the symbol in the top corner that indicates an app is still active. It's his music app, left paused halfway through a song. Curiosity beckons and he reaches for the earphones still resting on the counter, taking everything over to the padded windowseat. Legs curled under him, he puts the earphones on, leans his head back against the seat and presses play.

"I'm born to believe
And I am certain, no
That you and I are crashing course
Driven by a holy force
I know you can see…"

A smile curves his lips and he has to resist the urge to hum the familiar tune, as the words wash over him. The first time he'd heard this song, and every time after, he'd think of Rhys. Had his beloved been thinking about him just the same?

[3/3]

"Yeah, you will be mine
But don't give me time
You will be mine
Did you not say we were made for each other?"

There's a rustle of fabric as Rhys turns in his sleep and Elion quickly looks over, relieved to see he hasn't woken yet. His eyes trace the familiar shape of curled limbs under the blankets, lingering on the tangle of black hair fanning across the pillows, and his chest tightens with a sudden rush of affection.

Mine.

So many of the links in my old blog posts are dead; I always meant to figure out a way to automagically add Internet Archive links where possible.

I was more focused on the cancellation of Homicide than The Phantom Menace but I linked to a piece re backlash.

#HalloweenMovie #9, Arsenic and Old Lace.

I played the bodies in our high school production, and have spent years whispering to @garyseven.bsky.social “I’ve played that role” when there’s a corpse in a show or movie.

This was much funnier than expected and I’ll definitely watch it again.

“Arsenic and Old Lace” movie poster. Cary Grant’s giant head; glorious drawing of him peeking into the windowseat in which I spent my afternoons professionally corpsing at 14; his new bride dancing or kicking nearby (?); and his elderly aunts plotting which strange man they are going to kill and bury in their basement next.

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?"

According to some paper I read once—no idea if this is true—I was the first blogger to give credit to the blog I got a link from by saying something like "via Windowseat," which eventually everyone did. It was how we quoteposted in olden times

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?"

I maintain me and a squad 4 others borked the in game player economy of EverQuest so badly back in the early 00s, it affected the game design of World of Warcraft's tierd crafting system and auction house.
