Luckily I just found some Screencaps so I was able to go with Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon (2025). :D I also liked the animated version of him but this movie really hit different. (Dang, I cried so much while watching the movie in cinema. Twice. :D)

++ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has been cancelled and will end by next year, due to the CBS/Paramount merger that has sucked up to Dump Truck, the latter who went on social media to gloat about the cancellation and are hoping for more comedians who speak against him to have their shows cancelled as well. There's reportedly a call for an investigation about this possibly being a bribe or extortion, but even if proven to be true the damage has already been done. Many people, including other fellow comedians and entertainers, are rightfully upset and furious about this decision and I just know that Stephen Colbert isn't going to back down from voicing his opinions and anger on this for the remainder of his time on the show.
++ Grantchester is a show that I watch but haven't talked about much. It's a British crime/detective drama set in the 1950s, following the sleuth adventures of a vicar and a detective as they solve various crimes while also operating through their own personal lives and relationships. The show has been renewed for its eleventh season, which has been announced will be its final season.
I know most wouldn't classify this as a "cozy murder mystery" kind of a show since it does often deal with serious subject matters, but it is for me. I'll admit to be mildly surprised by the announcement of it ending, though it has been on since 2014 and having eleven seasons, two vicars who have come and go with the current third one being the last one, and a good following of the story of these characters, that's pretty impressive. As I mentioned in my previous post Leonard Finch is my favorite character, with his story and character arc development being the strongest in the show, in my opinion. Even though it brings a lot of stress at times, I do like the way Grantchester has handled the realities of what Leonard is going through, with the time period being what it is and his struggles with coming to terms with his sexuality as a gay man and what he has to navigate through despite everything. It's heartbreaking at times, but also heartwarming, and I always just want to give him a hug. If there is one thing I would want for the ending of the show it's for Leonard and Daniel have the happiness that they deserve after everything they've gone through. That's all I'm asking for.

Lonely Prompts Sunday, Week 29 [DW Edition]
Jul. 20th, 2025 07:20 am↑↑↑ Available dates:
July 29 & 31
August 5 & 7
August 12 & 14
Hey, come on in! :D Welcome to our weekly special day for Lonely Prompts. If this is your first time at
How to look for prompts:
We have plenty of prompts that might just nibble away at your brain today. You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^
Whichever you decide to do, prompt or fill (or both), please remember:
1. You can only request five prompts to be filled.
2. You can request no more than three prompts from a particular fandom.
3. You can, however, fill as many prompts in as many fandoms as you'd like!
4. In the subject line, be sure to say whether it is a request or a fill!
5. You must link back to wherever the prompt is in the community archive (whether filling or requesting), and, if you're filling the prompt, please post the fill as a reply to the original prompt.
6. If you are filling an "any/any" prompt, please let us know what fandom you've written it for (or if it's original!).
8. If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!
7. If you've filled any lonely prompts in the past week, this is the place to share them!
9. Finally, please remember to add your prompt fills to our AO3 collection: Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2024 collection. See further notes on this option here.
