candyheartsex has revealed authors!! Another delightful round. Because the minimum requirements are so small (300 words for fic) and there are usually several hundreds participants, I decide to go mega self-indulgent and ask only for my rare polyships, in tiny (K-9) and larger (Wind Breaker) fandoms. And therefore I was SUPER DELIGHTED to get, guess what?? A gift for one of my beloved rare polyships :D :D :D :D 💖💖💖 *happy sigh* A delight, truly.

This is the winner of the comics/art poll this month! Please enjoy this goofiness... and for added bonus, I'll add the sketch as well!

This was a silly 2016 cooldown sketch from back when I did livestreams. (I have been saying for years that I'd like to start doing them again, but sorry y'all, our art program just doesn't work on Linux. We haven't been able to do digital art on this comp reliably since we got it in Thanksgiving.)

It's been a little bit. Have some pics of some creatures.

Bella yearns for apples.

(From back when I was trying to slowly work up to more solid food, ha.)

Pictures of Bella, Berry Mad, Guava Splash, Ripley, and Jaspurr:

Bella watches the Westminster Dog Show.

(The American Kennel Club does not recognize the American Pit Bull Terrier as a breed, which is why Bella does her FastCAT and other titles under the "All American Dog" category. American Staffordshire Terrier is the closest to her breed.)

Majestic.

Cozy.

Berry Mad has turned her entire pond into her personal mud puddle.

Guava Splash!

Watching you.

Ripley the garter snake!

Ripley says :P

And Jaspurr! No one will out-comfy him.

In unrelated news, I did not dodge the cough. :( I hoped I was in the clear, because Alex was coughing by day three or four. After a week, I figured I was safe... but day nine? I think? brought the cough, which has only gotten worse today.

But in surgery recovery, the scabs and all their accompanying glue are finally gone! Incision sites are still quite tender, but seem to be healing up really well. I've had occasional twinges in my lower right abdomen (where my appendix was), but very slight and pretty infrequent, so nothing I'm too worried about.

Right now I really just wish the cold and accompanying cough would go away! I thought I was on the mend on Thursday, when I woke up still sick, but feeling much better than previous days... but alas, it was a false alarm, and I was back to crappy yesterday and today, but with extra cough! It's been kicking my ass, and I've been struggling to do much of anything the last several days. I'll try to get caught back up here as soon as I can.

Scientists just mapped mysterious earthquakes deep inside Earth

Scientists at Stanford have unveiled the first-ever global map of rare earthquakes that rumble deep within Earth’s mantle rather than its crust. Long debated and notoriously difficult to confirm, these elusive quakes turn out to cluster in regions like the Himalayas and near the Bering Strait. By developing a breakthrough method that distinguishes mantle quakes using subtle differences in seismic waves, researchers identified hundreds of these hidden tremors worldwide.

Finland takes bronze in men's hockey.

Damn, they came so close to taking out Canada and getting silver. Ah, well. Still, we've got squids taking home bronze and they were key players on their teams. Kaapo Kakko scored again.

(Kakko should be one of the Kraken's top scorers, but he was out most of the season with an injury and seemed to have the yips once he got back, was slow to get his groove back. This sidequest may have helped him a bit.)

I didn't watch the game, because I was at a write-in at Steeplejack.

Just in case you had any doubt that beer is a religion in Portland:

Damn, I need to go there with my real camera.

I considered catching the finals tomorrow, more to see the medal ceremony than the game, but the Fins already have their medals? They didn't wait and do them all at once like with the women's game?

Still sad that Finland didn't manage to take out Canada, despite that early lead. Still, some squids got bronze and overall squids had very good showings on their teams. Anyway, here's hoping Canada deletes USA tomorrow. I'm not really attached to Canada or any of their players, I just want USA's first line humiliated if possible. I can dream!

It's time. Today I did my last shift before my PTO. It was quite a busy day and unexpectedly so, but we did it. A bit late, but that's generally to be expected on busy Saturdays.

So... time to rest.

I'm actually itching to read some stuff. I have a few books lying around that I wanted to get into and yesterday, a dear friend gifted me the Terry Pratchett humblebundle (which I couldn't get myself because I'm in Germany, where the bundle isn't available) so... so much to read!

Now to find the motivation to start... *grabs my ADHD by the throat and gives it a shake*

It’s a difficult winter, harder than last year. I haven’t broken any bones, but that also means I’ve been working a lot. Current World Affairs have stayed bleak as shit and started hitting closer to home. Efforts to keep hyperfixation roots sunk into my own writing have not shown much success. I’m dogless.

Into this grim era came the same ray of queer sunshine that so many other people needed as much as me or more: Heated Rivalry. A beautiful love story told by men who powerlifted their way to C-cups in order to deliver more pining-while-fucking than I’ve ever seen outside of top-shelf fanfiction. With a happy ending! I’ve lost several weeks to cycling between rewatches of the show, reading fanfic, and trawling the tumblr tag for the funniest shitposts. But are those weeks really lost? I don’t think so, not when I’m immersing myself in the exact frequency of emotional M/M smut that is my lifeblood.

Like Interview With The Vampire, I don’t foresee myself developing the urge to write fanfic of my own. I rarely do, in megafandoms, because everything I could possibly want to read is already available a dozen times over. I’m just there to get hydrated in the tsunami of enthusiasm brought on by Connor Storrie’s perfectly round buttocks and Hudson Williams’ big brown eyes, and go back to my own writing once I’m replenished.

My wife and I are now playing Kingdom Hearts 2 (we're doing a bit of a marathon whenever time allows), and since this is my first time ever playing this series, here are some of my thoughts:

1 - I absolutely ship Leon and Aerith. They just make sense together. I love them.
2 - Sora is such a cute character! I like him better in KH2 than in KH1 though, I like his sass XD
3 - I like the KH specific story part than the Disney story parts. Both are fun to play, but I have much more fun discovering a new part of the story rather than bits of story I'm already familiar with.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I started the process of actually writing the vampire novel and it's *painful*. I'm so rusty when it comes to writing! It feels like I've never written anything at all, so right now, I'm writing in more of a movie script way, with very basic descriptions and a focus on dialogues (and even for those I'm rusty AF). Most of my problem comes from how difficult it is to visualize what I'm trying to depict since I still have so much research to do about France's nobility system before the French Revolution and all. Basically, this is just me wanting to write something else than just world building and I think I'm putting the cart before the horses here. I might actually take care of my writing itch through fanfics for the time being, because that world building is so, so important to do before I can finally write something that will make sense to me.

I also am probably going to change my female main character's name. The current name I have for her is Louise Gabrielle, but I've been toying around with Gisele and Genevieve as well. G seems like a constant at the very least.

As for fanfics, I've been in a big OC mood lately. I've always loved writing OCs in fanfics, but early on I discovered that people don't like them much because they might be too Mary Sue/self-inserts, but honestly, I just love creating characters and putting them in familiar worlds, it's a great way to explore character creation and writing techniques in general. Also, I'm 35, I don't have time anymore for feeling any shame about what I enjoy creating (easier said than done honestly, but it all starts with words of affirmation). I am cringe but I am free!

I've really been enjoying reading everyone's posts and commenting on them. It's like my daily newspaper but better!

I've gotten gel pens this week! I've been interested in trying them because I write mostly by hand and my fountain and ballpoint pens have cramped my hand muscle a lot. So far, gel pens have been kind of a life saver for that. I'm currently testing out Pilot G-2 (I wanna know exactly how long it lasts for me) and Pentel Energel (because pretty colours, I got the lesbian colours pack XD) and so far, I like the Pentel better because it doesn't smudge at all! I can make a blob and a microsecond later try to spread it with my hand and nothing. The Pilot G-2 is only really safe after a full line of writing. Also, not gonna lie but those colourful Pentel are just making me really happy! And they're more affordable than fountain pen ink (I've gotten into fountain pens a few years ago, and what I've considered mainly for ecological reasons ended up being a bit of a consumption thing with pretty inks I ended up rarely using and beautiful fountain pens that I gave away to friends instead. The fountain pens I kept were actually on the cheaper side (Platinum) and I've kept just three different pretty inks that I use exclusively for letter writing with a dip pen. That and just a permanent black that I use mostly for inking drawings... Now that I think about it, I kinda wanna write a post about fountain pens in general XD But like, make it anti-consumption rather than "here's a list of the best of the best out there, spend your money!". I might just do that XD).

Today is partly sunny and chilly.

I fed the birds. I've seen a few sparrows.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 2/21/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I put out more birdseed in the hopper feeder.

I am done for the night.
