What Sabine Is Doing: Games
Mar. 14th, 2020 05:22 pmSo I'm going to make a list of the various entertainment products I have enjoyed lately/am enjoying now, for anybody who's isolating or just in need of some good times. I'm breaking this out because it turned out I had more to say than I thought I did, so first, video games! ( Read more... )
Putting my shingle out
Oct. 9th, 2019 06:43 pmI'm doing tarot readings again!
Generally speaking, due to various factors, I conduct readings by email. You send me (sabinelagrande at gmail) your question and any supplementary information you feel is important to understanding it (a paragraph or so is fine- see this comment), I will do a spread, and I'll send you my interpretation and pictures of the spread. If you want an example of what this looks like, I have one available; I'm not posting it here because I don't want to put my cousin on blast in front of the internet.
I do these to hone my skills and I don't believe in charging for divination, but I do hope that, if the reading helped, you make a charitable donation in the amount you feel appropriate to a conservation or historic preservation organization. Some of these that I like include:
- the National Park Foundation
- the Institute of Southern Jewish Life
- the Mississippi Historical Society (or an equivalent association in your region)
- the Student Conservation Association
But feel free to choose something doing good work of this type in your area, or a COVID charity. No need to send a receipt- this is purely honor system.
Newly, I am also accepting barter. If you make something or provide a service, let's talk.
I'll keep this post up and update it when/if I'm no longer taking requests. Replies are screened in case you want privacy. Currently I am open!

How-to: AO3 feeds!
Mar. 25th, 2019 11:24 amOkay, so! You want an AO3 tag to show on your DW. Brilliant! Here are the steps: ( images under cut )
Feeding time
Mar. 25th, 2019 10:50 amDo you like feeds? Do you like Gyakuten Saiban fic? If so, I have made these DW AO3 feeds:
ao3cykesquill_feed for Simon/Athena works
ao3narumitsu_feed for Phoenix/Edgeworth works
I find feeds super useful, particularly AO3 pairing feeds. You can also set them up for characters and whole fandoms, though not freeform tags. The setup is very simple- just navigate to the feeds page - but lmk if I should do an instructional post about it. ETA: I made a tutorial!

On scarves and lawyer games
Mar. 12th, 2019 10:01 pmWhen I was a junior in high school, we read Ethan Frome. Now, Edith Wharton is one of my favorite writers, but the fact we teach that book because it's Manly and Serious instead of The Age of Innocence is a criminal crime. Nowhere was that more apparent than in the fact that literally no one in any of the AP English classes liked it... except me.
I fucking loved Ethan Frome. Are you fucking kidding me? It was everything an angst-ridden teenager with some real serious repression issues needed. The bleak tension of it, the heavy subtext in every minor detail, it was right up my street. The scarf! The pickle dish! It was custom tailored to 16!Sabine. Adult!Sabine likes Wharton's other work better, but that book was A Moment for me.
You should know that I am still getting shit for my love of Ethan Frome. Whether I deserve it or not, I take it, because I am prepared to defend my love for it. But my depth of feeling for the searing sexual implications of illicit scarf-touching has not changed and is unlikely to.
Basically what I'm saying is that I have always been this extra. And when I say I can't help but ship Simon/Athena because he grabbed the camera and shook it, or that Phoenix and Miles are married because Miles went to a magic show, it is just as hard to explain as scarf-touching, and I am just as into it.
And honestly, I will be this extra forever, and I am no more apologetic at 33 than I was at 16. SCARF-TOUCHING FOR LIFE

So, Dual Destinies. TL;DR: it was everything I wanted out of Apollo Justice and didn't get. No plot spoilers, but full character appearance spoilers. ( Take that! )
On old stories and gay lawyers
Feb. 15th, 2019 10:18 amI'm in a full-blown Ace Attorney relapse; I didn't play Dual Destinies or Spirit of Justice when they came out, because I didn't get a 3DS until last year. I'm actually kind of glad I waited, because it meant I was able to play it on a New 2DS XL, which is a vastly superior device compared to what was out at the time. I picked up Dual Destinies again (I actually started it last year and put it down) and have been powering through it. I'm probably going to do a full write-up of it after I finish, but for now I have this anecdote:
Fully 12 years ago, I wrote my first PW fic, Moonlighting. In it, because that fandom was an absolute playground, Phoenix accidentally becomes an escort at a club and Miles finds out and rescues him (my views on sex work were different in 2007, but Phoenix has the job because he's clueless about what they want him to do, not because he wants to do the work). The story ends on a cliffhanger, because I was kind of disappointed with it and never finished it. At the end of what's posted, Miles gets a call from Phoenix, from jail, but the content of the call is not in the story.
I thought, much like other stories I haven't finished, I had forgotten what was supposed to come next. But then I remembered exactly what happens: Phoenix gets busted when the club is raided, because he goes back to pick up his check.
I still find this to be delightfully in character, and now I am tempted to finish it.
