chocolatepotI made some OFMD icons the other day. If anyone else is interested in having one! I filled my last icon slot with one because I NEED to be able to signal.
Yesterday and today I took personal days, because my family has had tickets to see Neil Simon's Plaza Suite on Broadway since 2020 - the performance got pushed back repeatedly due to COVID. There are a few very very very minor characters, but basically the play is three vignettes about different New Jersey couples played by Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick: the first is a married couple where the husband is having an affair, the second is a Hollywood producer and his high-school sweetheart years later, and the third is the parents of a bride who's locked herself in the bathroom. SJP was great, but Broderick is just ... he's so wooden. I don't understand how he's had an acting career for decades. My dad fell asleep during the first one and I nearly did, but the second was quite funny - SJP's character was so enthusiastic to reencounter the "famous Hollywood producer" and kept changing her story about when she needed to leave, he wanted to seduce her and she wanted to be seduced but they went about it so meanderingly because they each had a slightly different plan. It was nice to get down to the city, though, and to see Owen. Although I had some stupid GMaps issue that made my drive take ~20min longer than it needed to (I was RIGHT at the park and ride where I was meeting them when it told me to get on the highway instead and I had to do a big loop driving up to the next exit and come back down, it was painful and I was furious. I think the entrance to the lot must have changed at some point and not been reflected on the map.)
I wrote a fic about Lucius meeting Stede, Sugar Baby, which frankly I think is hilarious. Someone suggested that, before the beginning of the show, he was trying to get Stede to be his sugar daddy and Stede instead roped him into joining the crew (because he clearly has no interest in piracy or doing any work at all) and it really struck a chord with me. And it was a nice break from my ongoing hurt/comfort AU, which is not funny at all!
My h/c epic for the exchange is getting NO attention, the people who commented seem to adore it but the kudos:hits ratio is abysmal, which hurts my heart. I guess it's because people opened it to read later but haven't gotten around to it? Or at least I will tell myself that because the alternative is "people read all ten chapters and don't even think it's good enough to click the little "like" button". But it's a small fest and the general amount of feedback in the collection is pretty low. (Will be able to link to it publicly tomorrow after reveals.)
