Coffeegleek’s Master Fic List

As is my writing nature, my fics tend to cover multiple tropes at once and so I’ve organized them by trope as well as by size. If you’re in the mood for something new to read in a trope you enjoy, I encourage you to give one or more of them a go.

Thanks,

Well, Elmo Muskrat has done it. Who knows why...to open up server space, to purge evidence, I don't know, but ALL media on Tweets pre-2014 has been deleted. Every gif, video, picture, anything with a t.co link is gone.

If you go to the search box and type in From:yourusername until:2014-01-01 Then click the "Media" tab, you will see the damage:

All those t.co links were once images, reactions, art, videos. BTW yes Gleeks, based on the timeline this means any and all tributes to Cory are permanently altered.

Ellis Munk will probably do another media purge soon so take my advice...archive your shit now, then hit da bricks...there are plenty of alternatives out there! (Or you know, just stay at Tumblr, you may not like their changes but boy they aren't stinkers like what they do at X!)

Wait wait you can't just drop that off and not elaborate. What do you mean is there a mafia presence in Wales?? Please spill, what things did you notice??

bisquid answered:

Okay so bearing in mind that I have ADHD and Chronic Terrible Observational Skills:

  • I am in Cardiff
  • For a concert I am attending solo
  • Doors open at 5
  • 4:15 ish I go ‘hmm I should eat something’
  • Cardiff is - unsurprisingly, being tiny and yet home to FOUR concert venues - Very Busy
  • Find McDonald’s
  • McDonald’s is very full. I recall my last concert related McDick’s experience, and promptly bounce
  • Directly across the street
  • Is an Italian restaurant
  • It looks closed but fuckit maybe I can beg for like. Bread or some shit
  • Go over
  • Am immediately pounced upon by the hitherto unnoticed chain-smoking woman hanging out by the door mostly hidden by a potted ficus(?)
  • “I was wondering if you were open and if-” “yes yes we are open what would you like?” (strongish Italian accent)
  • Inside restaurant is Deserted
  • Explain that I’m sort of in a rush, am assured it’s fine
  • Order chicken milanese which is generally a pasta dish with a breaded chicken component
  • Am led to seat nearish the front and promptly provided with a pint of coke in a glass tankard
  • Am then provided with a front row seat to an absolutely incomprehensible series of people entering and exiting (and in one case walking directly into) the door to what I can only presume is the kitchen
  • Starting with the guy who had been sitting at a table chain-smoking over a pile of papers
  • I counted at least three people exiting at least twice without actually entering in between
  • Am finally brought food
  • It is a breaded, butterflied chicken breast approximately the size of my face and a small pile of pasta approximately the size of my fist
  • It is all delicious
  • Chain-smoking papers man reappears, now wearing a chef’s apron labcoat thing
  • Go up to pay, chain-smoking ficus lady is now having a very loud argument in a language I did not recognise but was not Italian Welsh English French russian Gaelic or Spanish
  • She sees me, says, and I quote 'ah little girl lost, one moment’ and promptly hangs up
  • I am 27 and only nominally female
  • I am not remotely lost
  • She charges me for the pint of coke but not the food
  • I try to point out that she hasn’t charged me for the food
  • 'do you want to pay for the food?’
  • ’…. Not if I don’t have to?’
  • 'good’
  • I leave. The door is now full of half a dozen very tall very Italian men and one absolutely adorable cocker spaniel
  • I ask if I can pet the dog (I have my priorities straight okay)
  • I am allowed to pet the dog. The dog and I are now best friends
  • The dog lead holder asks me in extremely accented but impeccably correct English if I had enjoyed the food
  • 'yeah it was great!’
  • Everyone laughs a bit
  • I smile and pet the dog and realise I’m now late for the concert and hurry off


  • I see a post on Tumblr about mob fronts and several connections are made in my brain all at once

Everyone I've mentioned this to has gone 'was the food really good?' as a like initial litmus test for front-likelihood so I'm glad to see we're all on the same page here

Oh holy shit they found Silphium alive and growing in the wild.

Miracle Plant Used in Ancient Greece Rediscovered After 2,000 Years
Ancient Greeks used a 'miracle' plant called Silphium, which was thought to have gone extinct 2,000 years ago, has now been rediscovered.

Like now that I am awake I need to reiterate how huge this is. It was presumed harvested to extinction by the Romans. It was a favorite flavoring and according to historians one of the best contraceptives ever known. True or not it would be fantastic to study that but it being extinct made that impossible.

This is such a huge deal! I hope they get it figured how to grow it.

Food Related Question!

Do you meal plan before grocery shopping?

Not really. I get the staples and then figure out dinner each night.

Kind of. I know one or two different meals I might want going in.

Yes, I meal plan for most (or all) days of the week before going shopping.

I don't really know how to meal plan/I'm not experienced with it.

I'm collecting data with PURPOSE, I promise!

Adult ProTip, from a security professional: If a kid tells you, "My parents are gonna kill me / kick my ass / kick me out" for something relatively minor, don't respond with shit like "Really? ;) that sounds a little extreme, don't you think sweetie?" because that shit really does happen.

Instead, respond as though whatever threat they are afraid of is fully valid, and offer whatever you can do to help- ask if they believe they are in danger of being hurt in any way, and work accordingly.

If they're overreacting, they'll usually realize and dial it back, self-correct and begin thinking a bit more rationally.

If they're not overreacting, and the danger is real, then they'll need a level-headed adult in their corner, not another condescending authority figure who doesn't believe them.

this child abuse I wish I had adults listen to me as a kid and teenager instead of always brushing me off tw: child abuse

Dancin’ on that bamboo ceiling

Introducing "Dancin' on that bamboo ceiling", a series that consists of standalone fics that explore Asian representation in Glee.

As an Asian fan, I have always had a lot to say about the representation of its Asian characters. In 2017, I started writing a fic to sort of "reclaim" the Asian jokes about i.e. tea with panda hair and Asian camp. This series follows Tina, Mike, Blaine, Wes and an OC called Yu-Jin. Tina and Yu-Jin's story is about being adopted into a white family, Mike's story is about moving to China from a young age, Blaine's story is about being biracial and white passing and Wes's is about being a second generation immigrant.

The title is lyrics from the song Bamboo by KAYE. KAYE wrote this song to celebrate being Asian. KAYE also hosts the Golden Hour podcast, a podcast about Asian musicianship. Darren Criss is one of her guests.

Disclaimer, disclaimer: I was born in China and I was adopted at eleven months old. The fic originally started as a way to explore adoption through Tina, and it evolved into this. I am also one (1) sole person writing this fic. I based a lot of the stuff on my own life and also on stories from other Asian people living here in the Netherlands, but obviously, it is impossible to capture all lived experiences in one series.
