Weird lights

I was downstairs in the game room talking to evil_little_dog and I noticed that over the bar where my parents have hanging glasses (like at some real bars) and it's backlit. That's new. I didn't think much of it until I turned off the lights and it didn't go off. Nor did it go off when I left the bar (thinking it might be motion activated) so I go up and ask Dad (he put them in. he was an electrical engineer) and he's like how did they get on? I expected I accidentally hit one of the switches but no, this is on a separate little controller. You couldn't accidentally hit this. We have no idea how it got turned on. Weird.

You're getting a two-fer for fannish 50 today. First up, have I mentioned I'm a fan of plants? I suspect many of you could guess I love plants from my posts. Well I escaped the house to go to one of the three local greenhouses because I needed herbs (and mom is also sick with bronchitis, sorry Mom so she didn't come). There I am, unsupervised in a greenhouse/farmer's market.

Long story short, I got cinnamon basil, bonsai basil, regular basil, lemon thyme, Italian parsley, zucchini and a flower, a torenia. And then they had free tomato six-packs that you could take one. Come with me early girls (not my favorite but hey free). I am a happy girl with all my new plants that I have no idea where I'm putting them.

In good news, my busted open toe is finally sealed over (a week after the fact) I am relieved. It's not red, not swollen so I think I'm past the danger zone.

So let's move on to the rest of the fannish 50, stories and art! I have a story for you this week myself




Title: Holding Out For a Hero

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel


Summary: Even Pentious might have been impressed with Angel’s new steampunk movie and Angel would give anything to be able to make a sequel. That would mean Pentious and his airship were still alive and he wouldn’t be mourning a friend. Worse, the Vees want to capitalize on his pain and force him to betray the friends he still has.

Rating: teen and up

Author Note - Written for the Get Your Words Out Yahtzee challenge. I’m aiming for a large straight in which I have to write a linked story using all five prompts—all five prompts must connect to tell a united story. This is story number two and the prompt is curious. Since they are connected stories it would be better to start with number one.

Also written for the lyrical titles album challenge 2025 using the Footloose album and the song Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler.

Also written for the allbingo prompt of black and blue and for spikesgirl58’s six word challenge. The six words were Fate, Unpleasant, Captive, Colony, Anxiety, & Swap
