Ianto Jones all over again
Feb. 18th, 2026 11:46 pmmxcatmoonI have a confession.
I am obsessed with Rico Tubbs. It's like Ianto Jones all over again. I think I need an intervention. 😁😂🤣😉
I'm feeling guilty. Yes, I am watching an episode with tons of Sonny tragedy/angst and thinking, poor Rico! Forgive me, Sonny fans, I can't help myself. It's not that I don't love Sonny -- and I do see them as a matched set! Maybe I'll be better tomorrow. Things are just kinda rough right now.
I know Rico has his Issues, too. I do. He's not perfect either. I just can't help myself. I didn't expect it, it just hit me out of the blue. Like Ianto (at least Rico doesn't die -- thank God!!).
Maybe it'll get better after the shit ton of Rico Angst coming up in the next three episodes. Hopefully there won't be so much horror to go through after that... And then, once I'm done with the Horrible Angst Seasons, I can start over again and enjoy the "fun" stuff again (fun being a relative term, but compared to the fourth and fifth season, the first two are a honeymoon in paradise. I normally don't have a favorite like this, so I'm fighting it. I really think things will get better when I'm finished with the last season.
Look at my happy baby! When Rico's happy, I'm happy.
I just gave Rico his own tag. The only characters who have their own tags besides him are Ianto and James T. Kirk.
But the finale of Good Omens IS coming up on May 13th, so that might turn out to be a good thing. I might need the distraction.

Name:Morgan :) 
Age: 23 I mostly post about: The media I consume and my opinions on it, daily life occurences and complaints, thoughts about the internet and modern life My hobbies are: Playing videogames, watching movies and tv shows, drawing digitally, roleplaying in discord, coding My fandoms are: Game of thrones books, whatever actor I might be obssesed with ATM (currently daniel ings and david dastmalchian), dcu, doctor who, death stranding, fallout new vegas, cyberpunk 2077, kingdom come deliverance I'm looking to meet people who: are interested in interacting in eachothers posts even in small ways, like liking. creating and building an active community. people who read entire journal entries and anyone with interests similar to mine, also lgbt and neurodivergent people.My posting schedule tends to be:It's sporadic, although I try to hit a daily paceWhen I add people, my dealbreakers are: I have no deal breakers... for now? I just have fun with itBefore adding me, you should know: I'm a huuuuge leftist. I don't want right wing people interacting with me, ever. Also I complain alot, I swear like a sailor... if you're sensitive to swearing don't add me. Yay 
Posting here now that I'm more active again!
Feb. 18th, 2026 04:19 pmgremdark posting in addmeName: Em
Age: Mid-20s
I mostly post about: Lately, I've mostly used Dreamwidth for life updates related to my quest to get a teaching certification in my area. I also use it for fandom exchanges and general writing community.
My hobbies are: Writing is the big one. I write poetry and original short fiction. In fandom spaces, I tend to write a lot of short form erotica.
My fandoms are: Many and varied. Some of the favorites at the moment are BBC Merlin, October Daye, the Young Justice cartoon, and Wooden Overcoats.
I'm looking to meet people who: I like sharing this space with a wide variety of people. Some of my favorite members of my circle post recipes, media reviews, or meaty fandom meta, but other favorites are just sharing links to interesting news articles or talking about life.
My posting schedule tends to be: It's been sporadic in the past, but I've been trying to get in the habit of posting a few times a week. It's been grounding.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Don't be a Trump supporter, anti-LGBTQ, or a climate change denier.
Before adding me, you should know: I'm polyamorous and live in a tight-knit community that includes many platonic and romantic life partners. Sometimes I post about US politics, but that's going to be fairly rare. I am quite left-wing, because my government's right-wing social policies negatively impact my community and my family. If you show up on my reading page and ask a question in your post, I'll probably answer it in the comments.

Hello! About time I share something here I think XD
Feb. 18th, 2026 03:23 pmwitchpoetdreamer posting in addmeName: You can call me Lina!
Age:35
I mostly post about: Journal entries about writing, social medias/the internet and anything creative, witchcraft, what I'm reading/what I've read, etc. Anything that I'm wanting to write about really.
My hobbies are: Reading, writing, making arts and crafts, drawing, anything that tickles my creative brain. And also watching junk TV because I contain multitude.
My fandoms are Mo Dao Zu Shi and Scum Villain (anything MXTX but I haven't finished Heaven Officials Blessings yet). I've also dipped my toes in Stardew Valley and Bridgerton as a fandom, although I haven't written anything for those yet. I'm Deadfandomswriter on AO3 if you wanna take a look.
I'm looking to meet people who: Are open minded and care about building a sense of community through active participation in their spaces. Are creative and love to see magic in their every day lives (I consider birdwatching to be its own kind of magic for the sense of wonder it brings, for example).
My posting schedule tends to be: So far a couple times a week, but I don't really schedule those.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are:Bigots, small minded people
Before adding me, you should know: Other than everything else above, I'm queer, and that probably will colour what I write about more than once in a while. I also do not speak to my family anymore (although my family-in-law have welcomed me warmly), and that also can come up, so if it's something that is uncomfortable for you, you might want to avoid my blog. Oh! And my first language is French!

When You Say Nothing at All (a Miami Vice Valentine's Day ficlet)
Feb. 17th, 2026 02:27 pmmxcatmoonTitle: When You Say Nothing at All
Fandom: Miami Vice
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: G
Words: 290
Characters/Pairing: Sonny’s heart/Rico’s heart
Summary: No matter how much Sonny and Rico try to pretend they’re just friends, their hearts know different. It was always more.
Notes: Here’s a belated Valentine’s Day ficlet
“When You Say Nothing at All,” by Ronan Keating is ‘their’ song if ever there was one.

mundodefieras Miami Vice fic: Bleeding Love
Feb. 14th, 2026 10:43 pmmxcatmoonTitle: Bleeding Love (The Price of Loving You)
Fandom: Miami Vice
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: M
Words: 3410
Characters/Pairings: Rico, Sonny, Castillo, Sonny/Rico
Summary: Sonny doesn’t have the right or reason to act jealous, but it forces the partners to confront buried truths and the reality of the world in 1988. They must weigh wants, needs, and desires, and decide on the cost they’re willing and able to pay.
Notes: Takes place after the episode “Indian Wars,” but should be self-explanatory. Also includes references to a scene in “Child’s Play.” You could also check out my episode rambles on Tumblr (which include lots of screenshots).
The one where Sonny (who has zero right) gets jealous in public for absolutely no reason. – @mxcatmoon on Tumblr

It’s not from the 1980’s, but I’m currently obsessed with the song Bleeding Love as Rico’s song.
Deals with life as it was in the 1980's, including the AIDS crisis, and the LGBT scene. I was there.

Feb. 13th, 2026 06:04 amgrimmrow1. Who was your first kiss?: Mike Wayt. There was a spark for me, no idea if he felt it. It usually means a person is one of your soulmates.
2. Who is the last person you kissed?: Craig Owens. Long time ago, I kept falling in his mouth and it pissed him off. I can't help I have a tiny mouth, yeesh.
3. What is the story of your most romantic kiss? No idea, it would be Mike Wayt. He taught me how to kiss kinda. My next adventure is my fiancee.
4. What is the story of your worst kiss?: Nick Blackburn. Zero chemistry.
5. Who do you want to kiss right now?: Josh, my Fiancee.

Personally, if I were Rico, I'd be hard-pressed not to reach out and haul him in for a kiss. But that's just me.
