No spoilers but John Wick 4 has TWO dad/daughter dynamics, one of which is super shippable.

That is very exciting! I'm definitely seeing it now.

I haven't watched any of the John Wick movies because I had been thinking they weren't really my kind of movie, but I was already reconsidering that and now I'm definitely on board. Plus I've heard it's really good.

Thanks for the info, Anon!

Lullabies For Suffering: Tales of Addiction Horror, edited by Mark Matthews, Wicked Run Press, 2020. Cover art by Dean Samed, info: wickedrunpress.com.

Addiction starts like a sweet lullaby sung by a trusted loved one. It washes away the pains of the day and wraps you in the warmness of the womb where nothing hurts and every dream is possible. Yet soon enough, this warm state of bliss becomes a cold shiver, the ecstasy and dreams become nightmares, yet we can’t stop listening to the lullaby. We crave to hear the siren song as it rips us apart.A powerful list of talent has woven tales featuring the insidious nature of addiction—damaged humans craving for highs and wholeness but finding something more tragic and horrific on the other side. Come, listen to these Lullabies for Suffering.

Vanessa and Morgan's "Wicked Game" program

throw the whole thing in the trash / dislike it / neutral / like it / love it /I have decided to stan forever

To be fair, this isn’t the most groundbreaking FS for them and they are definitely avoiding trying anything new so this FS is 100% within the usual brand of programs for them. Still, their style is so effective and suits them so well that they do manage to nail it most of the time. While they have been struggling with the SP the entire season (even in Europeans when they skated it clean you could see they are still uncomfortable with it), the FD was a perfect fit from the start and kudos to Charlie White for creating a program that was right for them. He used great transitions in his choreography and gave the program a nice dance feel to it, but to be fair the real credit should go to John Kerr who gave them this type of programs in the past and managed to help them reach their potential.

The Horror of Addiction, With Compassion for the Addict

Guest Post

by Mark Matthews, editor and contributing author to “Garden of Fiends”

  Horror is at its best when it reveals a larger truth about the world we live in. In putting out the submission call for Garden of Fiends: Tales of Addiction Horror, there were a couple of specific guidelines I was looking for. I wanted an unflinching and unapologetic look at the devastation of addiction, but with some compassion for the plight of the addict.

But how do we have compassion for someone who is willingly putting substances into their body, but then claim they are suffering? It’s self-inflicted, dammit. You can’t bang your head against a brick wall then complain of a headache.

Most folks realize it is not that simple. If it were, more addicts would just ‘stop’ once the devastation of addiction took over and they’d say no to the compulsion to get high. It is also possible to swallow a box of laxatives and then not try not to take a shit. If you are strong enough, you can do it, but chances are you’ll fail, and it’s going to get messy.

Mind altering chemicals are used due to a myriad of factors. In some sense, it is a yearning for wholeness. To fill the empty space inside. It is also social lubricant (see Kealan Patrick Burkes’ story, A Wicked Thirst). It reduces inhibitions and makes us feel who we want to be, if but for a while. You want to feel a certain way, you want to cover up a certain deficit, there is a specific substance out there that will help, often times manufactured by a pharmaceutical company.  And the glorious thing is: drugs are reliable. To quote drugstore cowboy, “It’s this fucking life. Most people don’t know how they are going to feel from one moment to the next, but the dope fiend does. He just has to read the labels on the bottles.”

Whatever reason one first starts using substances, soon enough, if you keep using you’ll become dependent on the drug. (I’m counting alcohol as a drug). A chemical and physical compulsion takes over. The craving for a substance is equivalent to a drowning man craving for oxygen.

All of these factors exist in the addicts who live inside the world of Garden of Fiends.  Alcoholics who have a Wicked Thirst. Poverty-stricken heroin addicts who sell body parts to get high. A man who uses the demon of addiction to fight the true demons who plague him. A true ‘Garden Variety’ of ‘Fiends’ are inside the pages.

When coming up with the title for this anthology, I hesitated to use the word ‘fiend’ since I feared it lacked the compassion I was looking for. I decided to go with it because, for one, it’s an ‘in-group’ thing, for I myself am a FIEND, and will always be one. I’ve been in recovery from addiction for over 20 years. I’ve experienced these cravings first hand, and still do. Despite all this time, my body is forever changed. If I think of beer my mouth still waters. When I see cocaine on TV, an electric jolt goes through my spine. It’s still fresh in my heart despite over 20 years, and now its fresh on the page, with some writing heroes of mine inside.

OC Creator BINGO 2022 - @asirensrage

[arrthurpendragon]

I would love to rec @asirensrage and while I could be here all night listing off every single one of her fics and one shots, I am going with her new John Wick series, Serendipity.   Her writing is smooth, characterizations fabulous, and dialogue crisp and refreshing.  It's not over done. It's like how two people would talk in real life. You can hear their voices, see their expressions, their mannerisms.  

So yeah, sirens is an incredible author and person and is so creative and talented.
