Happy (& miserable) Returns of the Day!
It seems to be a Red Letter Day today. First off, Happy Birthday to:
meneleth, rosiedlotrfan, jaxomsride,
whuffle, and (last but very much never the least)
aralias! May you all have a wonderful time (and curses on the heads of all those who combine b'day and Christmas presents (well, unless they're really good ones))!
However, as at least three of them know only too well, it's also B7's Gauda Prime Day. *removes non-existent hat*
I've posted these two things before, including last year, but it only feels right to post them again now, because 2016. The vid is spoilery (as ever), but the meta is not. It's also short and I really do recommend taking a look, even if you don't know Blake's 7. Because 2016.
The Cave (S4 Vid by elviaprose).
Another Man's Freedom Fighter by The_Dancing_Walrus (G, 929 words. Meta.)
(For those who don't understand: I once wrote a non-spoilery guide to Blake's 7. It won't explain, because spoilers, but at least you know what I'm on about in the more general terms. Creaky old TV, as ever, in the even shorter version.)
I love that of all my fandoms, only two of them have a special day attached and one of them is an anniversary that's all about joy and hope and ridiculousness, and the other is... well, Gauda Prime Day. But sort of oddly bleakly hopeful anyway, I think.
