the affectionate physical contact meme
➝ post your character below, with your character's name and series in the subject.
➝ tag other people, using an rng with range 1-8 to roll a scenario.
➝ roll as many times as you want, play out whatever you want!
one; hugging. you just want to give your loved one a warm embrace. be it out of happiness, to comfort them while they're down, or just to give them something warm to latch onto, you just want to wrap your arms around them.
two; kissing. whether it's a peck on the cheek or a deep kiss, a kiss good-bye or a romantic kiss, you find yourself compelled to kiss the other person! be as tender or as passionate as you so choose.
three; holding hands. it's a simple gesture, really -- to reach out and take someone's hand. but that one simple gesture can convey any number of sentiments. what the sentiment is, is up to you, but you find yourself reaching out to take your significant other's hand.
four; carrying. is your loved one hurt and needs a lift? do they want a piggyback ride? or do you just want to spare them the effort of walking? whatever the reason, you're now itching to pick up your partner and carry them to their destination.
five; i love you. you've said it before or maybe you haven't but now you have to say it again or for the first time.
six; dancing. kick up the music, because it's time to dance! but no lone dancing allowed -- you need to have a partner! you can do whatever dance strikes your fancy. personally, i recommend the slow dance, but you can do whatever you want!
seven; massaging. did your significant other have a rough day? did they get hurt? or do you just feel like doing something really nice for them? whatever it is, you're giving them a nice massage now. they'll feel wonderful in no time!
eight; flirting. the easiest way to break the ice or maybe you're just an overly flirty person.
nine; cuddling. sometimes there's just no better feeling than curling up next to each other on a warm sofa. hold each other, lie next to each other, fall asleep on each other -- it's all good here.
ten; wild card! reroll, pick an option, or come up with something else!

1. Does where you live have regular doorstep rubbish collections or do you have to take your trash somewhere else?
2. Do you separate recycling? What sort of stuff gets recycled from your household?
3. Do you take things you don't need to charity shops, or give them away online, or sell them secondhand, or ...?
4. Do you pick up litter in your local area, from streets or trails or play areas or parks? Have you ever found anything interesting discarded or lost in a public space?
5. Are there "repair cafés" near you to help mend fixable items? Have you ever been helped by a community repair service or volunteered for one? Do you do any other kind of upcycling?

Intimacy

Intimacy is NOT necessarily about sexual contact. Intimacy is all about two people forming a connection and bond between them. That involves becoming best friends, trusting each other, knowing each other, understanding each other. Intimacy is grown and developed, it can't be rushed.
RULES
- Comment with your character. Be sure to include preferences (ie, f/f for shipping, OTA for gen, etc)
- Tag others!

Pairings/Characters: Kirk/Spock
Rating: G
Length: 1832 words; 11:27 minutes
Creator Links:
Theme: Marriage of convenience
Summary: The Enterprise makes contact with an alien race who will only speak with a couple as representatives. Jim figures it's not a big deal to pretend he and Spock are together, but it turns out they play the role a little too well.
Reccer's Notes: Sliding in with one last rec for this theme. I'd forgotten about this story, but I happened to listen to the podfic this morning. It's a great example of a short marriage of convenience story that relies on what we already know to be a strong friendship between Kirk and Spock. In this story, a diplomatic mission requires Kirk and Spock to pretend to be a couple, but their clear bond (in the general sense, not the Vulcan sense) leads the planet's representatives to offer to hold a marriage ceremony for our favorite Starfleet officers. I like when outsiders are able to see the heart of things and call it like it is. This is such a sweet and gentle fic with a big helping of optimism. I'm sure someone needs that today. The podfic is also clearly and steadily read by cookiemom.

A Minor Abundance
Aug. 28th, 2025 07:10 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

I saved some Seminole pumpkins from last season because I'd read that they "store well," and wanted to see how true that was. After about ten months in a cool, dark part of the pantry, only one looks dubious - the whole one you see here. The rest were fine and got roasted up. Today I'm hoping to make some pumpkin muffins. I also have a recipe for a decadent pumpkin bread that has a layer of cream cheese in the center.
Right now I have about ten pumpkins growing on my vines, but none have been harvested yet. They're all still green, but so far none have been nibbled by critters or rotted by excess water. And there may be more, as the vines are still flowering and the bees are still happily visiting every morning.
My roselle is budding. I'm afraid I confused Fox by referring to it as hibiscus, which it is - but it's not the kind that produces huge, showy flowers. The flowers are pretty, but this hibiscus is the kind from which we get hibiscus tea. So your drinks like Lemon Zinger come from this plant. You can also make a syrup or jam from the calyxes, and the extension service's web site assures me I can expect ten to twelve pounds of these ... per plant.
Now that it's not Death Hot, things look much better in the garden. The last tomato plant still alive is doing pretty good and putting out more tomatoes. All the basil has died off but I've sprouted another round of them. When we get back from vacation it will be time to start peppers, maybe more tomatoes, garlic, some herbs, and probably dedicate one bed to beans. I can put some trellises up and have all the black beans I can manage.
