Search maintenance

dw_maintenanceHappy Wednesday!
I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!
Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!
Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.
SGA: The Spare by Rachael Sabotini (wickedwords)
Apr. 22nd, 2026 06:38 pmmific posting in fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Elizabeth Weir, Teyla Emmagan, Radek Zelenka
Rating: Mature
Length: 13,319
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: Rachael Sabotini on AO3
Themes: Arranged marriage, AU - royalty, Diplomatic marriage, Politics, Mutual pining
Summary: "It is your duty to the empire to marry Rodney McKay."
Reccer's Notes: This is an interesting romantic romp set in a somewhat steampunk AU where John is married off by his cousin the empress Elizabeth, to Rodney, a leader in the neighbouring nation. John is part of treaty agreements to negotiate peace. Consummating his marriage proves difficult due to Rodney being a workaholic, anxious about never having had sex with a man before, and, that common marriage of convenience trope, as John can end the marriage after a year and a day if he chooses. There are obstacles and pining and inadequate communication, but eventually John makes a place for himself in Rodney's labs, proves his loyalty, and we get the happy ending. A fun read!

Aliens: Havoc
Apr. 21st, 2026 01:00 pmcyberghostface posting in scans_daily
"One incredible story. Forty amazing creators. A hive of deadly aliens. That's what we call Havoc. Some of the biggest names in comics -- including Art Adams, George Pratt, Kelley Jones, Kevin Nowlan, and Kent Williams -- illustrate Eisner Award winner Mark Schultz's story of a haunted space station infested with aliens." -- Dark Horse

I had no idea that Kivia personality is a lot more... sillier in the original light novel/manga compared to the anime.

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Apr. 21st, 2026 08:43 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
UK politics is mired in yet more chaos in terms of the fallout of Peter Mandelson's appointment to, and rapid departutre for, the role of US Ambassador.
US politics is just... mired... in general, or so it seems from the outside. The reveal that Pete Hegseth quoted Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" citing it as an actual Biblical passage was quite something (And another three satire writers probably changed careers in disgust, because this is just the sort of thing they'd have presented as parody), as was the VP's attempt to lecture Pope Leo, an Augustinian, on... ummm... Augustinian theology. Good luck with THAT one slugger!
I'm torn on "Maul: Shadow Lord". It LOOKS amazing, and Sam Witwer as Maul is as good as ever but I don't feel it's doing anything particularly new, which is a shame.

Rogue Trooper teaser trailer
Apr. 20th, 2026 06:21 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailyAn early, and immensely popular strip in 2000AD was "Rogue Trooper", the story of the last surviving Genetic Infantryman (GI for short) who is committed to finding the General whose trairourous actions led to the deaths of all the other GI's.
Oddly, though he is the last living GI, he is assisted by three others, who remain as personailty chips built into his equipment: Bagman, Gunnar and Helm are in his backpack, assault rifle and helmet respectively.
And now, 45 years after his introduction, he's gettting an animated movie for the first time.

The Immoral Thor: JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #30, WAR OF THE GODS #2 (JLI 85)
Apr. 20th, 2026 10:05 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
JLE #30 (Giffen-Jones-Robertson) begins with a dream sequence that’d disorient you whether you’d read Armageddon 2001 or not. In “Breakdowns Part 5,” Captain Atom was alive and well and being reinstated to the League, so you’d expect that to still be the case at the start of “Breakdowns Part 6.”
But if you had read A2001, you would’ve seen Captain Atom “dying” a hero and future Captain Atom as a mournful, crazed victim. ( You’d also have seen two other characters assassinated, one figuratively and the other literally, but let’s move on from that. )
Nightwing #136 began " Blüdhaven Lore ".
Apr. 19th, 2026 11:24 amthanekos posting in scans_dailyThe previous arc " Cirque du Sin " was the transition from Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's brighter run, smoothed by the fantastic parts of that threat.
What the Cirque did in Blüdhaven led to reconstruction, set-up for some of writer Dan Watters' thoughts:
" As someone who moved from the UK to the US, American infrastructure fascinates me. The shapes of cities here can be entirely different- there's just so much more damn space.
" The psychogeography of a sprawled city is so different to a more European-style city, which I'd generally pigeonhole Gotham as- walkable, easily accessible via public transit, with people living stacked on top of each other.
" Cities where each stop of the day is a 45 minute drive away makes for a different way of living, and invites a different kind of story.. "
" It is wild to me to build infrastructure that is ostensibly to facilitate and improve human living, and to have so much of it inaccessible to the pedestrian. Engaging with your own town primarily through windshield glass.
" These are the things swirling around in my head as I consider what makes Blüdhaven different to Gotham. And I decide it means Nightwing needs a cool new car. "
( Another axis on which Blüdhaven is worse than Gotham. )
