You can tell I'm not a Popular Media Enjoyer™️ because my blocked tags list is just a succession of each tumblr-fandom-of-the-moment that I'm tired of seeing.

Oh, looks like I'm close to another milestone

Is the universe trying to tell me something? In some coincidental twist of fate, I'm getting into these Thai GL series around the same time @thisweekinfandomhistory does an episode about absolutely bonkers RPF fandom shenanigans (it's about One Direction, so the most diametrically opposite to anything I've ever been into). And yet, every time I get brave enough to venture onto Twitter, I see the absolute conviction in the way people speculate about the actors and their co-stars.

And look, I don't care if people want to RPF ship. It's just not my thing personally. So I think I will stay in my little corner of tumblr and write my silly little fics (about the characters, not the actors). And yes the ask box is still open, and people can always send in prompts, but I make no promises to write any of them, and if you send me an RPF prompt I just won't write it (no hard feelings).

Ok, without really noticing, I've somehow managed to write more fic in the last 3 weeks than the entire 8 months prior this year (thanks AO3 stats page). And I know it's been a rough year for me health wise, so that definitely plays into it, but these Thai GL series have got me in a death grip.

People care far too much about where you're from, and not enough about where you're going

Ok real talk. I feel like I missed a bunch of stuff, not been super active here (or anywhere really). I've got some medical stuff going on. I didn't really finish the Warrior Nun Commentfic Fest prompts I started, and I haven't watched Critical Role Downfall at all. To be honest, CR and Sam's announcement in particular made me need to take time away. I'm getting radiation treatment for my brain tumour, and just that picture of Sam with the molded mask hit me too hard. I heard Bell's Hells are back tonight, but I don't think I have it in me to watch at the moment.

Maybe when this is over, I'll get to make one of those unhinged author's notes I've always dreamed of having on one of my fics. "Sorry for the late chapter, I was in the hospital getting ionizing radiation beamed directly into my brain."

I saw an ad in the subway and part of me wants to go see this art exhibit for the title alone:

Which translates to "women volcanoes forests torrents" (supposedly it's women artists working with themes of nature), but whatever it is I want that

Boredom is the fuel for creativity, and I just haven't been bored enough for too fucking long

I'm aware that I've fallen behind on my femslash February posts, but my job and my health haven't been cooperating this week, and I never could write on a deadline. Anyway, I'm still keeping the prompts to do later when I can get back to it, I just don't think I'll catch up by the end of the month at this point if I'm being realistic.

It's daylight savings in my neck of the woods, and does it ever get dark early all of a sudden. My significant other got me one of those sun lamps during the pandemic though, and it helps just to turn that bad boy on in the afternoons, especially if it's already cloudy.

So I failed in my attempt to finish my spooky themed Imogen/Laudna (Critical Role) piece before Halloween. I blame extenuating health circumstances, but now my mission is to get this Ava/Beatrice (Warrior Nun) fic done in time for the season 2 anniversary coming up. It doesn't help that I'm back at work since last week though.

As they say: help, there are fic ideas incompatible with the amount of free time that I have

Breaking news, the fact that I've felt like crap the last two months is in fact all in my head!

tfw you have the whole fic in your head with the structure and the plot and even specific scenes or lines, but you just need the world to leave you alone long enough to actually write it

You got me once again. I do have a mechanical engineering degree, although I don't work in the field, and at this point it's been so long I don't think I'll ever go back. I work in software technology though, so somewhat adjacent I guess?

That said, if you've read my Warrior Nun stuff, I did write an avatrice fic themed around Newton's laws of motion (Motion, and the Consequences of Force) so there's also that. And I was supposed to do a follow-up based on the laws of thermodynamics, so yes, we are getting nerdy (affectionate) in this house.

Oof that was quick on the draw. Guilty as charged.

The existential crisis of finally having a day off on Monday but having ERRANDS

Now that I have a job again, I've decided to get dropout and watch dimension 20 even though I barely have the free time to keep up with critical role.
