Miami Vice ficlet - Fishing Without Bait

Written for the prompts, 127 Jocular, 136 Enervate, 169 Discombobulate, at

vocab_drabbles
Title: Fishing Without Bait
Fandom: Miami Vice
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: PG
Words: 728
Characters: Sonny, Rico
Summary: Some weeks are worse than others, but fishing has always been Sonny's sanity maintenance. During a weekend of decompressing, the partners draw comfort from each other and tiptoe around some truths.
Notes: I was thinking about how they imply Rico has gone fishing with Sonny on the show. This is the result.

Current Mood: busy

2026 Intro Post

Name: Remy

Age: 41, turning 42 this month

I mostly post about: My daily life and mental struggles, with some occasional political commentary, and I link to my book, movie, and streaming television reviews, not to mention a fantasy novel I've been trying to type up from my notebooks for ages. I do a lot of AI art and use them in original memes as well.

My hobbies are: Reading (more nonfiction today than before), writing, streaming television, and AI art. I used to be heavily into gaming but haven't played in a while, but I may next year depending upon my mental health.

My fandoms are: Formerly furry--I got off that sinking ship last year--though I still like anthropomorphic art--and I don't do fandoms anymore.

I'm looking to meet people who: Validate me and respect my unique perspective.

My posting schedule tends to be: Daily.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I'm not a very big fan of Woke and gender ideology, or anti-AI people.

Before adding me, you should know: I am autistic, but have pretty much disowned my own people, really struggling mentally, incredibly PTSD from decades of trauma from my family and 18 years of psychiatric abuse, not to mention pretty much every online community I was ever part of.

Current Music: ACT RIGHT - femtanyl

(no subject)

Name: Lots of them. Mainly Saros, Venus, Maggie, Andi, or Sewa. Pick your favorite. Or just call me sewagelag00n.

Age: 20

I mostly post about: My daily life, some stuff about my hexperiences regarding "mental health"/Madness. Occasionally I'll talk about media I've been into.

My hobbies are: Selfshipping! DIY alternative fashion, customizing clothes & making jewelry. Ballet. Writing & art. Doll collecting. Soft toys.

My fandoms are: Some Sword/Some Play (18+)! A very obscure little game that I love so much I've basically adopted one of the characters as my OC. Please I am so abnormal about these lesbians. Longtime Vocaloid fan, I think I'm coming up on 9 years now. I love Hatsune Miku (she's literally me) and recently Teto SynthV has captured my heart. Recently got back into FNaF (my favorite is Mangle!). Very normal about Neon Genesis Evangelion. Huge music nerd: love digital hardcore like Ada Rook, but also into stuff under the goth umbrella, industrial, shoegaze, new wave... I like a little bit of everything.

I'm looking to meet people who: Honestly, just looking for more interaction. People who post regularly and will comment on my posts.

My posting schedule tends to be: Usually every couple of days, but can be more sporadic.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Those who follow Abrahamic religions. I am a staunch antitheist and do not think highly of religious people. Other religious/spiritual people are on thin ice. Transmisogynists, racists, sanists, homophobes, other bigots.

Before adding me, you should know: My blog is very much 18+ and viewer discretion advised because I am into a lot of dark and sexual things. I am Mad and hexperience things like plurality (one of my alters sometimes posts on this account too) and self-harm and intense mood swings. I am very critical of the psychiatric system. I am actually not a lesbian. I really want my URL to be sewagelag00n instead but I don't want to pay $15 for a rename token. I am polyamorous and have 3 real-life partners and a whole host of fictional ones.

Привет! LiveJournal imports may be slow

Привет and welcome to our new Russian friends from LiveJournal! We are happy to offer you a new home. We will not require identification for you to post or comment. We also do not cooperate with Russian government requests for any information about your account unless they go through a United States court first. (And it hasn't happened in 16 years!)

Importing your journal from ЖЖ may be slow. There are a lot of you, with many posts and comments, and we have to limit how fast we download your information from ЖЖ so they don't block us. Please be patient! We have been watching and fixing errors, and we will go back to doing that after the holiday is over.

I am very sorry that we can't translate the site into Russian or offer support in Russian. We are a much, much smaller company than LiveJournal is, and my high school Russian classes were a very long time ago :) But at least we aren't owned by Sberbank!

С Новым Годом, and welcome home!

EDIT: Большое спасибо всем за помощь друг другу в комментариях! Я ценю каждого, кто предоставляет нашим новым соседям информацию, понятную им без необходимости искать её в Google. :) И спасибо вам за терпение к моему русскому переводу с помощью Google Translate! Прошло уже много-много лет со школьных времен!

Thank you also to everyone who's been giving our new neighbors a warm welcome. I love you all ❤️

Meet the Snowflake 2026 Mod Squad!

akamine_chan created The Fandom Snowflake Challenge back in 2012 as a way to remind herself “why I loved fandom so much”. Over the years the challenge itself has come to mean a lot to many of us, so by way of introduction some of the mods for this year have written about what Snowflake Challenge means to them and why they are excited about it.

( Meet the Mods )

As you can see the challenge means so many things to the mods, and to everyone who has participated before, and will hopefully also be meaningful to anyone joining us for the first time this year. You’ll find us all wading through comments, welcoming everyone, answering questions, keeping the peace, so if you need anything, don't hesitate to flag one of us down.

Tomorrow starts the first of the fandom challenges, so hope you all are ready for some fun times! Feel free to do any challenge that strikes your fancy (or all of them), or leave a comment on someone else’s challenge response at anytime.

You can promote the challenge by copy-pasting the information from the text boxes below:

introduction

Welcome to the Snowflake Challenge 2026!

We're in the final hours of 2025, so I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Snowflake 2026 season. We're so happy you're all here, little snowflakes. I wish for every single person in the community an exciting, fulfilling, and joyful start to the year. Whether you're staying cozy amidst the chill of winter or enjoying the peak of summer in the southern hemisphere, there are so many ways to celebrate the fun and uniqueness of you, your fandoms, and your online communities.

We will be posting challenges on every odd-numbered day in January, starting tomorrow. To participate, comment on the community challenge post. We encourage you to include a link to your own challenge post and to include some details/teasers in your comment about what you wrote to encourage visitors, but you can also simply say that you did it/include a link. There is no deadline so feel free to complete challenges when and how you see fit. This is a fun and lighthearted challenge with an open invitation to participate and very few rules!

Welcome to Snowflake 2026; let the games begin!

(no subject)

Name: King / Megan

Age: 37

I mostly post about: Exchange letters. Real life: parenting, health issues (ex chronic migraines, epilepsy, depression, anxiety, hubby has hardcore depression, my kid has ADHD, my mom had cancer, and my dad has dementia), friendship, family, my cat, and general rl happenings. I'll talk about fandom and writing stuff too.

My hobbies are: Writing fanfiction, adult coloring books, listening/reading to audiobooks

My fandoms are: My main ones right now are Star Wars (primarily Clone Wars and Bad Batch right now) and Star Trek (primarily DS9).

I'm looking to meet people who: Overall, besides the deal breakers I'm open to friending anyone. It's cool to see different lives and views (except below).

My posting schedule tends to be: I'm trying to be better with updates. My plan is to post every Tuesday. Sometimes there will be dear creator letters for exchanges.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
• Conservatives. I feel bad saying that. I have conservative friends irl but I don't want to see it online if that makes sense.
• If you're a Christian who constantly talks about Christianity I'm not interested. It's fine if you're Christian, but if every conversation you make it about the Bible and Jesus that's annoying to me.
• If you hate people who like Harry Potter and think all fans are transphobic etc. I'm a Hufflepuff so if that bothers you then nope.
• In regards to fanfiction and creating, a deal breaker is if you think that if someone writes about 'X' then they must support 'X' irl.
Damn there's more deal breakers than I thought.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm nonbinary/genderfluid (he/him pronouns but she/her is fine too) and bisexual. I'm open with health stuff (see above for examples). Been married for almost 15 years (refer to him as hubby) and have a 7 year old (refer to her as Huttlet). I'm a geek/nerd/whatever. I post with bullet points/list for my sanity with each point being a different topic. Posts have a gif at the top. Posts are crossposted/imported from livejournal.
