Pumpkin Autumn Challenge : Fermat Kitchen 1 (Kobayashi Yûgo)
Sep. 28th, 2025 08:26 pmflo_neljaCatégorie : Le Cercle de la Com'thé (Fête - Gourmandise - Récomfort - Joie - Diversité - Singularité - Empathie - Vivre ensemble)
Quand ce manga est sorti, j'étais intriguée par le résumé, mais aussi un peu inquiète. Un garçon qui, après avoir raté les Olympiades, reconvertit son talent mathématiques dans la cuisine, je doutais que ce soit possible.
Et puis finalement, cela marche bien ! Ce n'est pas tellement qu'il y a beaucoup de calcul (il y en a, pour le dosage des saveurs, mais ce n'est pas des maths avancées), c'est une question d'état d'esprit, d'agripper un problème jusqu'à ce que quelque chose en tombe, en utilisant sa logique et son intuition. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de maths, mais cela reste un hommage très sympa à la pensée mathématique, cela ne semble pas artificiel !
Ensuite, je suis un peu déçue, parce qu'en lisant je pense : oui c'est bien fait, le cuisinier qu'il rencontre est charismatique comme il faut, son passé par rapport aux maths et à son dégoût croissant très crédible, le vengeance sur le principal de l'école satisfaisante... et pourtant, je ne suis pas happée. Je ne suis pas très mangas de nourriture à la base, mais aussi, même si les personnages se promettent d'aller plus loin, j'ai l'impression que ce tome 1 a résolu tout ce que je voulais niveau arc de personnage. Ce qui est positif, d'une certaine façon ! Mais je vais m'arrêter là.

Look mom! I killed another one!
Sep. 28th, 2025 07:45 pmgoodbyebirdGuess who picked up a super fun comic, tore through three trades, then wanted to find folks talking about it and searched on BluSky... to find it got cancelled the very day she picked it up? AYUP.
Why aren't people buying super fun team comics?? *shakes fist at universe*
(yes it was cancelled due to poor sales)
The comic in question? Birds of Prey, written by Kelly Thompson. It had team! Quips! Competency! Siblings! Big Barda and Tiny Bat!! Muscles and mind-controlled beefcakes!
The last issue comes out in December and I'd prefer to pick up the trade. When I went to check if we'd even get volume 4 - comics! they treat us so well! - there was some good sprinkled in there. Firstly, she's pitching a new book at DC featuring a couple of the characters from BoP. My feral mind is slamming both fists on the table, chanting "Big and tiny! Big and tiny!" Probably not but gimme.
Secondly, Thompson's heading up the new Buffy and Angel run at Dynamite!
Thank god BOOM! lost the license because oof. Outside of the pretty covers and first issue, that was rough to say the least.
But I'm excited for this! We could, dare I say it, get a good Buffy comic.

In my early days trying to figure out how to be a writer and what stories mattered to me and why — no heroine quite broke through for me like Buffy Summers.
She was somehow everything my young geek heart had always wanted but hadn’t known to ask for. Something about that delicate alchemy of horror, fantasy, and comedy paired with a hero so pure of heart and yet flawed and relatable was… impossible to deny. I fell deeply in love with Buffy, and following that, her whole world. Her ex-boyfriend is now a supernatural detective in Los Angeles you say? Inject it directly into my veins! But unlike a lot of other worlds I loved, the world of Buffy and Angel somehow never fell to the wayside. I could always come back to it and find something new, or something I’d missed, or something I needed. And I hope this new story we’re telling can do the same for old and new fans everywhere.
Thank god BOOM! lost the license because oof. Outside of the pretty covers and first issue, that was rough to say the least.

So, I thought I was getting a palmsized scrubbie brush with a soap dispenser
Sep. 26th, 2025 08:48 pmconulybut it was a set of two regular palmsized scrubbie brushes for dishes. Which was disappointing, but E made the amazing discovery that they are really fun to smash together, bristle to bristle, so that's all right.

Pumpkin Autumn Challenge : Hôzuki le stoïque (Eguchi Natsumi)
Sep. 27th, 2025 09:59 pmflo_neljaCatégorie : Monster Mash (Halloween - Créature - Classique - Comédie - Danse)
Epoque moderne, aux enfers japonais, Hözuki est le bras droit du seigneur Emma, poli et efficace. Malheureusement pour lui, il est probablement la seule personne avec ces compétences de tous les enfers.
De la tranche de vie administrative pleine de références culturelles, des contes traditionnels à Sadako en passant par les parodies d'émissions télé, cela aurait dû me plaire ! Mais en fait, j'ai été déçue par l'humour qui ne m'a pas beaucoup fait rire. Hözuki a un bon mélange d'être sympathique pour son job et objectivement un oni infernal, malheureusement il n'y a aucun autre personnage assez intéressant, de mon point de vue, pour avoir des interactions qui me plaisent. Rajoutez à ça une blague vaguement transphobique (même si j'ai vu pire en manga, soyons honnêtes) et je n'ai pas été happée du tout.

Fic Exchanges Past and Present
Sep. 27th, 2025 02:40 pmnevannaAs my gift for the seasonsofdrabbles exchange, TheMistyDarkPrincess wrote Conflicting Affections, a series of ficlets that focused on Elias and Jon (with bonus Martin) from The Magnus Archives. I have yet to get tired of reading about Elias being possessive of his Archivist.

Weekend Plans
Sep. 26th, 2025 07:54 pmsettiaiWell, I was supposed to be playing D&D tonight, so I napped for a bit after work to make sure I could stay up without issue. The DM isn't feeling well, though, so we ended up having to cancel at the last minute.

thinking of ways to make it better
Sep. 26th, 2025 02:22 pmmusesfoolSlow Horses: Bad Dates: We are so back, baby! ( spoilers ) Very interested in seeing where this is going.
I am less on the bandwagon and more cautious and disbelieving about the Mets' playoff chances. They control their own destiny for now, but having to play the Marlins to cement their wild card spot is giving me very unhappy flashbacks to past collapses. Also, if Tyrone Taylor is not in CF the rest of the way now that he's back from the IL, then I don't even know what we're doing here.
Lastly, I will be pet-sitting overnight at my brother's tomorrow, so hopefully the new-ish dogs are okay with that. We'll see how it goes!

Pumpkin Autumn Challenge : Femme, vie, liberté
Sep. 26th, 2025 07:14 pmflo_neljaCatégorie : Je ne couperai pas mes cheveux, je ne parlerai pas moins fort (Mythologie - Chasseresse - Liberté - Emancipation - Féminisme)
Sous la direction de Marjane Satrapi, mais peu de pages sont d'elle. C'est une BD documentaire sur les émeutes en Iran qui ont suivi la mort de Mahsa Amini (tuée pour avoir "mal" porté son voile) ; cela parle, en général, de l'histoire de l'Iran et de son climat politique.
Des spécialistes d'histoire, de politique, et de nombreux auteurs de bande dessinée racontent chacun un angle particulier de la situation. C'est bien fait et frappant, souvent horrifiant, bien sûr, vu le sujet, et très instructif.
