On the bright side of things, I'm pretty sure the walls are finally DONE. I'll take another look in the daylight, since I did to a couple of small fixes (and a sand) this evening, but I think they're done now. Hopefully.

On the other hand, today has been A Fucking Day, omfg.

Started off with this morning thinking I'll do a quick coat of one of the walls while the cats were eating breakfast. Had to add some more paint to the tray, but whatever that happens.

And then I somehow fucking broke the tray. Split it up the middle! Luckily not the whole way, most of the deep part was okay, but holy shit there was a VERY FRANTIC session of painting fucking ALL THE WALLS to get the paint out of the tray and NOT on the floor. I did okay at that, I think? Spill was pretty minimal, considering. But yeah, all the walls, including some of the upper walls, just in the middle but... yeah. Paint!!!

This was of course all before fucking breakfast for me. Ugh.

And then! This afternoon! I was playing Terraria with everyone, which was nice, and Sushi was whining about food (despite it being like. 45min until kittydinnertime at that point), and he decided he was going to bite my monitor in protest of the extremely unfair "dinner is the same time every day, beanboy" position I took. First couple of times it was just him being a dick as usual, and I shooed him off, but then! He fucking BIT THROUGH AND CRACKED THE SCREEN.

Yeah.

Monitor is dead, it'll turn on, and show picture for a second or so, and then black screen. Nothin'. Soooo gonna have to get a new goddamn monitor. I'm using my old one right now, and ugh. It works but it's nowhere near as nice. ;;

I also broke the handle of an old rusty paint scraper I've been using to clean paint trays, but that's no big deal. Amusing that the handle broke down first, honestly. But given the day's track record I absolutely did not do any real cooking, or anything else that involved things I cannot deal without because woooow. What a fucking day.

Bed now! Tomorrow will probably be better! Or at least less full of paint, bleh. Though if I am done with the walls that does mean I'm back to cleaning/sanding/filling again, nooooo...

The Melancholy of Untold History by Minsoo Kang



Blurb:
I'm going to put the blurb behind cut tags because I feel like it spoils too much of the book. the blurb )

This read like a history book instead of a novel. Like the history of a fantasy land. I found it hard to really engage with it. Like if we had The Silmarillion but not The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings. Would we care about The Silm if we didn't have the experience of the previous works?

As far as a collection of myths go, it was delightful.

Many swords, again... worked on archiving and got a decent bit done. Close to a half-dozen new fandom pages? Felt pretty good. ^_^ I've refined my workflow and while I don't know if it's actually going any faster, it feels faster. Before, I would code up five or so pieces, put them on Neocities, and then put them on DW. Now I'm just doing one at a time, putting it on Neocities then immediately putting it on DW and logging it. Makes it a little easier to pause, if nothing else.

I do wish I'd put a little more forethought into how I'm logging what I've done, but I don't think there's any perfect solution there. After a point it'll be much easier, like when I'm just cruising through AO3 by fandom when there's only a few dense fandoms left. Right now I'm all over the place and logging things into composition books is getting kind of gnarly.

Worked a bit more on MG Tallgeese Flugel, but mostly worked on stuff for 30 Minute Label Day. Definitely not a prize-winning display, but a fun one. And that's honestly what I want - a fun display and one people can interact with. Like, I'll offer to let people touch, gently, and check out articulation and details and whatever. There's not much that can be broken beyond repair, if anything. Need to get back to my [Redacted] contest entry, too, as that's coming due very soon.

Goal for the week is getting my desk cleaned up. What even is going on here?!

I really really like this story, it's filled with so many tropes and elements I love... I'm gonna have to try harder to get people into this manga so I can get someone else to read it XD Say hi to Mozu and his cat Oboro!

Mozu and Oboro from Spring Thunder: cute little guy with his hand on his chin, beside a cute black cat with a forehead scar

This is the little guy who needs saving! He has a frighteningly smart and competent cat friend!!


The executioner's rescue | The Serenade of Spring Thunder | Kagaribi/Rindou/Shisui, Kagaribi & Mozu | 5.5k words | rated T

Summary: Kagaribi is on the run with Rindou and Shisui, quite successfully pretending not to be falling in love if he says so himself. But when Mozu's cat appears, Kagaribi knows this is the end - the village's executioner has finally come for him. Except that Mozu is nowhere to be seen…

Kagaribi can betray their village, but he could never betray Mozu. Even if that means giving up on his chance at the scam called love… Rindou and Shisui, however, do not seem particularly impressed with his plan to leave them behind.


Read it on Dreamwidth or AO3.

In a wild twist of fate, the person that originally introduced me to The Wayhaven Chronicles randomly pinged me on their server yesterday, to tell me about having fallen back into the same rabbit hole as I have. It's kind of hilarious because we don't often chat one on one at all, so her randomly telling me about her having gotten back into the same fandom as I have amuses me greatly.

Maybe I can bully her into writing her fanfic so I have motivation to write my own.

She's an A romancer, so her fanfic would center around Ava/F!Detective, while my own fanfic revolves around Morgan/F!Detective, but A romancers and M romancers both put on that clown make-up every day and suffer continously from the emotional constipation of the respective love interest, lol

Still... a writing buddy to body double might be interesting...
