Good things recently

Was reading a fic and laughed out loud at it.

Am delighting myself writing Dollshops & Deathmages. I'm halfway done and happy with how it's shaping up.

Had an excellent peach kombucha to drink.

Have the house to myself for a glorious while, because my relatives are travelling.

Am enjoying a k-drama tremendously. Undercover Miss Hong. It's halfway aired, let's hope the rest of it is just as good. (You know those silly Hollywood action movies where there's a guy doing some kind of secret operation, and women who are in the narrative all have crushes on him, and he's too busy doing Important Stuff to notice? Imagine if it was the heroine doing stuff too Secret and Important to pay much mind to the men growing feelings for her, and you have Undercover Miss Hong. Trust k-drama to make something assuming *I* am watching the way other media industries make things assuming men are watching. And it features strong female friendships!)

Three out of the five things I have put down here are related to stories. 역시, whenever I'm happy, stories are usually at the heart of my happiness.

Thank god I only engage in Deltarune fandom through close friends and a few specific servers, ‘cause dude. The current Deltarune Twitter drama is fucking insane.

Basically, the fandom is having a meltdown because a popular Spamtenna artist admitted she never played the game (not even watched an LP) and half the fandom is either calling for her cancellation or rabidly defending her. On top of that, there’s people bitching about fans being into Spamtenna and the popular characters (ex. Spamton, the Mikes) One guy was even like “Why aren’t you into the MCs instead of the stupid male joke characters!?” then proceeds to demonize Kerdly. Like what do you want, man? People will claim Spamtenna fans are misogynistic fangirls who only care about yaoi slop while completely ignoring that Spamtenna yuri is a subgenre of its own, and it’s basically yaoi vs. yuri wars all over again. Also, Spamton ties deeper into the plot than you realize? Like, are you even paying attention to the game? Now with the revelation that it’s likely they didn’t even play it and are just going off of fanon and tumblr posts, it explains so much where all this wank comes from.

"spamtenna is about to become the first canon ship that is so slandered and misrepresented in fanon that it collectively gets perceived as a crackship without any evidence in the source material. i hate it here"

Geez, calm down, man.

Basically, if anyone tries to police you over what characters and ships you like in Deltarune, you have even more incentive to tell them to fuck off. If they don’t even engage with the original canon, why should their word be held to any sort of authority? brb fangirling Spamton and my ships with him even more out of sheer spite

Used my manga TBR boardgame.

I finished 7/6 on my last board. Even though I only read 1 chapter of non-BL stuff, the BL stuff was mostly great so I was happy. :'> I hope I get to read another great BL and I'll get to use my new scale again.

 Skill: Beat the trap tile once, draw a prompt


Roll #1:

An 8! Generate from TBR list! #1108. It's a oneshot called Meimu.

Roll #2:

A 10, prompt: roommates. 3P Lovers Shared House. The tags are very polarizing, apparently it's both toxic AND wholesome...

Roll #3:

An 8, prompt: amnesia. B-Eyes. This one has both shoujo and bromance so I'm a little worried, maybe I'll be able to OT3 them in my head though?

Roll #4:

A 5, prompt: historical. Let's see how well I remember Golden Kamuy...

Roll #5:

A 7, prompt: manga by a woman that got an anime. Blue Exorcist.

Roll #6:

An 8 and the end, that went fast although I'm about to conk the fuck out. The physical BL manga this time is Sweet Revolution. Only 5 single volumes left now...

Most looking forward to: 3P Lovers Shared House
Least looking forward to: Meimu? it's only like 8 pages though

[BL/Comedy] 3P Lovers Shared House
[Shoujo/Horror] B-Eyes

"Tale of the Snow Queen" by MiliSen

Type: Song
VSynth(s) Featured: Eleanor Forte (video has Teto)

Reccer’s Note: I think I'm going to like MiliSen a lot. I've seen a few of her videos, and she brings a very different sensibility to the table than most vsynth producers. For this song creator's notes discuss how she was inspired by opera and orchestra, and similar notes on other videos talk about other influences on her work. Tale of the Snow Queen brings to mind literary fairy tales and classical musical theatre (or, if you're less classy like me, Disney renaissance musicals). I don't listen to enough Eleanor Forte. I should fix that.

The long-awaited fit post! (🦗🦗🦗) One of my resolutions was to work on my wardrobe, and another was to "become a normal adult... according to my own standards," which means being cool and desirable (among other things). Here are outfits that show my efforts towards that resolution so far ^_^ Right now I'm starting by working on a capsule wardrobe, 1.5 of them because I basically need "female" and "male" wardrobes, and then I'll just buy whatever makes me think "if I don't own this I'll die horribly." Fashionheads of Dreamwidth, please hype me up/tear me down.

The background is the only place in the house with good lighting OTL Sorry if the dog food kills the vibe. I'm surprised the dog herself didn't photobomb me, but maybe she instinctively knew not to get in the way of a good fit.
About the Fits )
I don't really know what kind of advice I'm seeking, but if you have anything you want to say to someone just starting to look ~cool~ let me know!! I have kind of read a lot of theory (video games about clothes + a long history of being a Tumblrina + some Pinterest use thrown in), but have done little practice (wore a uniform throughout my public school years, didn't want to buy clothes because I rarely went out, chronically uncool, etc.).

As I mentioned in my Wish review, the plot of this movie is kind of a hot mess. It very much feels like a movie that went through at least three or four major versions of the plot, and many of those elements are still hanging in the film like vestigial limbs, leading to a very disjointed and nonsensical viewing experience. Meanwhile, there are like 5-second sequences slapped on like pieces of duct tape in order to hastily close up glaring plot holes, which makes me think there was a strong need for this movie to release on a schedule and it was shoved out the door half-dressed.

Anyway, since this Franken-movie has the suggestion of three or four other coherent movies in it, I thought I would make some suggestions about how it could have been fixed by deciding on just one version of the plot and changing the elements to fully cohere with that central plot. So here we go: 4+1 better movies Wish could have been.

4+1 better movies Wish could have been )




Welp, that's done. About 4 hours of my life diagnosing this movie that I'll never get back. You can suggest topics for future posts for this meme over here.

Life has been busy orz. I got sick and then I got hit with a migraine. I'm doing better now but it's looking like we're going to get another foot of snow (or more) Sunday into Monday. Godddddddddd, I'm over it. Work has been crazy due to logistical reasons outside our control - the glamour of being a contractor lol.

Nice Things: spent Valentine's day driving up to Kam Nam and H Mart in MA, bought a lot of wonderful groceries and ate good food with my wife and our friend (I affectionately refer to us hanging out as our throuple time lol.)

I took the time to learn how to navigate the PostCrossing forums and joined some tags and round robins, already mailed some stuff out. Sending and receiving mail has become my happy place as of late c:

I have read SO MUCH Heated Rivalry fanfiction. The mistaken identity Jane(+/)Lily fics have been especially delightful <3_<3
