Good news includes all the things which make us happy or otherwise feel good. It can be personal or public. We never know when something wonderful will happen, and when it does, most people want to share it with someone. It's disappointing when nobody is there to appreciate it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our joys and pat each other on the back.

What good news have you had recently? Are you anticipating any more? Have you found a cute picture or a video that makes you smile? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your life a little happier?

>>Well, that's rare.<<

Catachresis by Nosferatank on A03; and here's the link. I think you'll like it too, though warning from canon-typical jerkishness from the Big Bad. https://archiveofourown.org/works/43679544/chapters/109837338

I've seen the concept before, but it usually isn't very good. I think the only other two I can think of:

1) a (short) Buffy X ATLA crossover, where Buffy gets dropped into the ATLA world, and it is mentioned that she has to pretend to be deaf until a fellow refugee teaches her how to speak the local language, but it isn't really discussed.

2) a Stargate ATLA crossover where there is a Language barrier until the Translator Microbes kick in at the end of the story. Demerit for the Translator Microbes fixit, but bonus for discussing an offscreen language with pronoun sets designed for two symbiotic species: I [species-A], [I-species-B], I [symbiont] [current], I [symbiont] [+ past], etc.

>>Fascinating.<<

Here's the featured videos from the website. I haven't seen all of them, but the ones I have seen are pretty good. Love Your Enemies was the one that caught my attention, but the AI Love and Refugee were good and a bit more positive in tone. https://hegetsus.com/en/featured-videos

>>I've met a few rare actual followers of Jesus.<<

...one day, I would like to see someone try to, like, feed the homeless or take down hostile architecture or whatever and defend it as freedom of religion.
