I hope this Scarian prompt is good: Sleepy avian Grian chirping and cooing at Scar to hurry up/stop whatever he's doing and cuddle in their nest immediately it is very important. Grian needs cuddles to fall asleep and by god if he has to ruffle some feathers he's gonna do it
“Scar,” Grian whines one night as Scar works on his plans for a new build project. It’s late, Scar knows that, but he’s just got this itch in his brain that he can’t ignore. The creative juices are flowing and there’s no way he’s going to intentionally dam them up. Nothing could drag him away from this right now.
Scar doesn’t look back as he continues sketching, distracted with how to angle the windows on the east side to let in the maximum amount of light. “What is it?” He asks, yawning immediately after.
“Come to sleep,” Grian mumbles, exhaustion lacing his every word.
“Grian, I have to finish this, or I’ll kick myself in the morning,” Scar replies. He feels a little bad about it, truly, but he’s often on the reverse end with Grian’s late-night insomnia-induced building, so Grian should understand.
“But I’m tired.”
“Then go to sleep?”
Nothing but silence answers him. Scar thinks that maybe Grian has fallen asleep but falling asleep so quickly is unlike him.
He’s just a little bit concerned when he swivels his wheelchair around so he can check on him.
“Gri?”
Grian is pouting and grumbling under his breath, feathers ruffled in annoyance or maybe anger or maybe sickness or—Scar’s getting ahead of himself.
“Sunshine, what’s wrong?”
“You won’t come to bed,” Grian says as if it explains his general state of discontent.
Scar sighs and sets his pencil down. “I will in just a little bit, love.”
“But I want to sleep now.”
“Why don’t you then?”
“I can’t sleep without you.”
Oh?
Oh.
Oh, wow. It makes perfect sense now that he thinks about it. Scar knows avians are flock creatures that form strong bonds and he knows that Grian never used to sleep well until they got together. He just didn’t know Grian thought of him as part of his flock. Oh, he could cry. He loves this man so much.
“Grian, have you pavloved yourself to only sleep when with me?”
“Shut up!”
“Oh my gosh, you have!”
“If you’re just gonna make fun of me then don’t bother,” Grian huffs and buried his face in his arms, angling himself away so Scar can’t see his expression.
Scar abandons his papers and wheels over to the side of the bed, locking his brakes and lifting himself on the edge, just outside of the nest.
“No, no, I think it’s sweet! You can’t fall asleep without me?”
“That’s what I said!”
“Gri, honey, look at me?” Scar grabs his arms and removes them from his eyes, gently, so Grian can stop him if he wants. Grian is teary when he meets Scar’s gaze.
“Don’t cry, love, it’s okay,” Scar shushes, wiping tears from Grian’s eyes and smoothing his thumb over his cheekbones.
“It’s just—I can’t sleep without knowing you’re safe and—”
“—the best way to do that is to cuddle me?” Scar finishes for him, grinning once again. Grian blushes but doesn’t deny it.
“Guess I can’t argue with that. Come here, pretty bird,” Scar whispers and draws his mate into his arms. Grian latches on like a barnacle and flops a wing over the two of them; out like a light as soon as he feels Scar relax.
Scar falls asleep to the sound of gentle coos and chirps, blanketed in soft feathers, safe in the arms of his love.
Flock is nice, is his last nonsensical thought before sleep claims him too.

Slightly questionable attempt at translating the lyrics to "le temps des fleurs"
My blue eyes mistaken for a doll's became blurred with tears As the curtain falls on a romance spun with a stranger Wandering amidst a fantasy, I walked along a stone street, Like the falling droplets of wax, melted by the passing days Those unrequited hearts of the night that are burnt by the morning light had overlapped, Even if it's like wind that only passes right through O city of flowers, this love too had bloomed by the roadside If just one poem is not too much to ask, Then let that splendor burn into one another's hearts Let the beloved true self of that silhouette be turned into a tale told through pictures Even if it's old- And covered in dust- If the front cover has been opened- Then it will begin to overflow- That time that was locked up- While still bound in colors- Even the future can be colored in full O city of flowers, the city that wears this love, And even the days that had bloomed and wilted away Let it play on, for forever in one another's hearts In order to make the beloved true self of that silhouette dance Song of love, Song of love
Uh.... Yeah I don't have much to say. I am by no means good at this. (hoping I didn't fuck it up)
Just to differentiate the two, Shu's text is in bold, and Mika's is italicized, and if both are singing then it's just normal text (though it's not an exact 1 : 1, for reasons.)

Welcome
The response to the Comment Bingo has been amazing so far! Let's keep that momentum going. If you want to join, you can play with the original card or choose one of the other available cards:
one designed for Beginners (new or nervous commenters)
a Fluff Edition, Smut Edition and Angst Edition to find/comment on fics with themed tags
This blog is intended to promote anything and everything related to fic writing and commenting. In the fandom ecosystem, both creators and enjoyers are essential, but especially active creators and enjoyers—by which I also mean interactive.
For now, this is what I can guarantee from this blog:
more bingo cards for readers, featuring a mix of old and and new commenting tasks
bingo cards designed for writers (daily writing tasks; prompt tasks)
resources on commenting: etiquette and how-tos, etc.
celebrations of commenters who earn bingo (✨victory badges✨)
fic recs from bingo players who post the works used to fill their cards
OG Bingo Winners Board: Single, Double, Triple, Quadruple, Quintuple, ✨FULL CARD✨
Fluff Edition Winners Board: Triple, ✨FULL CARD✨
Depending on level of interest, this could also be a space to host more ambitious events (ship- or fandom-specific comment drives, comment drives for categories of fic with typically less traffic, etc).
Always open to feedback and suggestions! Here's the running FAQ post for the bingo trial.
The goal is to foster as much positive fandom engagement as possible 💛 Keep fandom well fed!
no pressure, just tagging anyone who expressed interest in the bingo trial run:

“Greyback looked over his shoulder, then began to circle Granger. “We’ll have less time together than I wanted, but I’m going to enjoy every one of your screams.”
He levelled his wand at her. Draco knew that stance. There was a Crucio coming.
Granger, blood-smeared, shaking from her magical depletion, stared him down. She was not afraid. Her scorn was magnificent.
Before Greyback could cast anything, there was a shudder of magic.
The fire behind Granger turned green. A specific kind of green. A Floo kind of green.
Granger smiled.
Now there was a swishing sound. The werewolves scrambled anew to put out the fire, but it was being fed at the other end, now, and it doubled, then tripled, then quintupled in size.
Figure after black-clad figure whipped out of the fire and spun upwards. Dozens and dozens of them on brooms, cackling shrilly.
Granger’s smile grew dangerous, self-satisfied – the kind a Nundu might smile, just before it decimated an entire village.
Shrieks of wild laughter filled the air.
The nuns had arrived.” - Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love, Chapter 33: Heroics, Hazards of, by @isthisselfcare

Hey you’re a math guy right? And you like Balatro right? I’ve had this math question related to Balatro but I can’t phrase it properly to get a satisfactory answer from google so I was wondering if you or a follower could help? Anyway here goes:
In Balatro there is a deck called the Plasma Deck which “balances” your chips and your mult so that they are equal in order to increase your score. I understand that mathematically given two positive numbers x and y when multiplied together will have an increasing total as x and y approach each other given their sum is constant. What I REALLY want to know is that if for any given sum of x and y where each integer permutation with the same sum is equally likely, what is the expected increase in score from balancing and is it thus worth it to double score requirements?
Tl;dr for any given total T where x and y are positive integers and sum to T and where each permutation of x and y are equally likely, what is the expected increase in value from x times y to (T/2)^2
So I am familiar with the Plasma Deck. Despite note having unlocked it yet it's definitely the one I'm most excited to unlock for this exact reason.
That said, let's talk about the question at hand. I can fix a more sophisticated explanation for this at another point in time, but here's my answer for now. If you're expecting an equal distribution of possible positive integers x and y, then no, the expected increase in score isn't double. For example, let's say T is 20 and p is the product of these values.
Tumblr media
As you can see, out of all of these outcomes, only two of them are less than half of (T/2)^2 (which is 100 in this case). Which, if we were expecting an equal distribution of possible x and y values, would make the idea of doubling the score requirement seem incredibly unbalanced. However, that's where the strategy comes in. If you can make a build where you x and y values are 1 and 19, then the Plasma Deck more than quintuples your value, making the doubling of the score requirement seem like a breeze. So the strategy of Plasma Deck is basically to hard focus either x (chips) or y (mult)
Maybe if I have time I'll see if there's some sort of equation discussing this (there almost certainly is) but until then I am tired

Top 5 utterly insane things said by Caldwell?
sat on this for a bit because I was thinking about it, sorry!
“The Frogson to your Holmes” you can HEAR murph blink when he says this. It’s so iconic.
When he assumed that murph did not know who is on the $5 bill. Insane energy. Literally what the fuck.
(With his ENTIRE CHEST) “Horses know how to count!” Boston dungeon court live (now available in the main feed!) my absolute beloved. I was at that show and it RULED. and murph seemed exactly as baffled by the statement as you can hear in audio form but his face MADE the moment. Also, shoutout to the two people from the same party who presented the same case to dungeon court from different sides. Icons.
“A purposeful lad, who’s the dad of a turdis”. It’s the doubling down and taking 3 minutes to realize he fucked it up for me. King shit.
Something along the lines of “I finally watched frozen 2 and I can’t believe Olaf dies” the manner in which he casually says the spoiler. Sure everyone else doubled and quintupled down on the joke but Caldwell swung first

Not wanting your kink to ever cross paths with your professional life be like "better double check this serious chat to make sure I didn't black out and spam 'I fuck sneezes all the time achoo more like fuck me' - in fact no, triple, quadruple, quintuple check even"
Can never be too careful 😤
