Hey, I'm Reeby! I'm a thirtysomething from Texas, currently living in Virginia. I'm queer and agender (ey/em/eir or whatever pronouns you like, I'm not picky!). I'm a vegan, a witch, and lean pretty politically left.

I've been in fandom for close to 20 years now, primarily writing fic and making icons, occasionally making fanmixes and crafting, previously modding some exchanges and a bang, and being a tag wrangler on AO3 since 2017. Longtime fandoms include Teen Wolf, Stranger Things, Marvel, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Star Trek, but I'm very multifandom and tend to fandom hop frequently. See my interests for a more complete listing! My current hyperfixation is Thai BL dramas and Thai actor RPF.

This Journal & Friending Policy
This blog is probably 75% fandom and 25% personal, and all of the personal posts are friends locked. I usually check my reading list a few times a week, and I try to comment on recent friends' posts regularly. I generally only friend people through friending memes or if we know each other from other platforms, but I'm happy to make new friends in other ways too! I don't automatically friend back though, so please comment here if you'd like me to do so and we haven't already chatted elsewhere :)

reeby10: the lower half of a person laying on grass and reading with the words 'time to escape' and a ripped looking border (reading)
Reading
  • I read some more of The Artist's Way. I've long given up on actually following it, but I am interested to see if I can get anything from it anyway.
  • I finished reading (after accidentally hiding and just recently finding) Chupacabra by Roland Smith (Marty & Grace #3). I love this series! It's very fun, and also, who wouldn't want to read about cryptids?
  • Ficwise, I've mostly been reading VegasPete and PondPhuwin. I'm working my way through my read later.
Watching
  • The roommate and I finished 2gether. Certainly not one of my favorites, mostly due to the MC being so painfully oblivious it was mostly just frustrating. But still a pretty fun show. Though I do think it's funny that neither of the main actors has done any other BL afterward lol
  • The roommate and I started watching Lover Merman. The production quality is pretty garbage, but I'm enjoying it. I saw people freaking out about the incest side ship, so I was very intrigued, but it a) turned out to be pseudo incest at best and b) was not really important or even shown much. Ahh well. I hear the last episode gets extremely bonkers, so that's exciting...
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Cat for Cash. Still cute. Satang is showing up in the next episode, so I'm very excited for that!
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the last episode of Melody of Secrets. Mostly just sweet and domestic for the last episode, which was a bit surprising. But not unwelcome, there was enough drama lol It was indeed a weird show and I didn't love it, but ForceBook and JuniorMark were worth it.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Dare You to Death. We're now two episodes from the end, and I do not think they are solving this case lmao I mean, they will, but not in a police way, more an accident way, I think. My pet theory on the killers doesn't look completely right, but I am intrigued that the prevailing theory since the beginning looks like it might be.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of My Romance Scammer. The messiness continues, and I love it! It's so funny to see the scammers digging themselves into more problems when they could just... stop scamming and have loving husbands??
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Duang With You. Continues to be sweet and silly. I love Por's ice prince character so much.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Yesterday. This show is bonkers lol I wasn't sure about the back and forth timeline, but I think it's working so far, and it's definitely keeping me engaged wondering what the fuck happened in between.
  • We haven't watched as many series this week, because we've been watching the Olympics! I've been recording my favorite events (figure skating and speed skating primarily), so we're a bit behind, but it's been fun. We watched the wild men's figure skating singles, most of speed skating, and we're working our way through ice dance rn.
Listening
  • Catching up on a very back episode of Ouija Broads that I skipped for a long time since it was one of the hosts and her husband instead of the regular hosts. It's been not bad though.
  • The company that produces most of the Thai dramas we watch, their music production arm had a big three day concert this weekend with all their groups as well as some solo artists. So we've been watching a million clips of all the performances and shenanigans.
Writing
  • Nothing.
Learning
  • Nothing.
reeby10: the lower half of a person laying on grass and reading with the words 'time to escape' and a ripped looking border (reading)
Reading
  • I read Lost Boys by Kaname Itsuki, which is a yaoi manga based on Peter Pan. It was... fine, idk. Not as interesting as it looked.
  • Ficwise, I'm still bopping between JunDylan and VegasPete and having a good time :) Currently I'm reading a JunDylan fic called Too Aware, Regrettably Aroused by Polikuro. Enjoying it a lot!
Watching
  • The roommate and I finished Boys in Love. Again, very cute and sweet! Wish PoddPapang would have gotten a bit more screentime, but I really did enjoy all the kids.
  • The roommate and I watched The Wicked Game. The quality of this show was pretty garbage, but it was quite fun. I really liked DaouOffroad and I want to see more of them.
  • The roommate and I started watching 2gether. Very fun so far! I love some fake dating with one side definitely having feelings and the other too dumb to notice lol
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Cat for Cash. Continues to be very cute.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Melody of Secrets. They seem to have wrapped everything up with one more episode to go so like... what's gonna happen now??
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Dare You to Death. I am so sure I know who the killer (or one of??) is and I am hype! Also, JoongDunk are so cute.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of My Romance Scammer. Very good! I love that things are already starting to get messy lol
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Duang with You. So silly and fun! Really enjoying TeeteePor.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the first episode of Yesterday. Interesting so far! I am digging FortPeat's vibe.
Listening
  • This was the week for new music apparently! There have actually been several others, but these are the ones that have been stuck in my head:
    • No Way by LYKN. Very catchy and I love the red velvet suits.
    • Bad Boy No "DO" by CLO'VER. Also very catchy and cute.
    • My No. 1 Duo by the Gen 5 DMD boys. Again, very catchy lol
Writing
  • I wrote my Candy Hearts assignment. My first time writing this ship, and I think it came out very well!
  • Wrote a little more on a Thundercloud Rainstorm fic.
  • Also wrote a poem.
Learning
  • I did the fourth lesson of Pimsleur's Thai. I'm starting to feel confident about being able to say a few full sentences, so that's nice. There's a couple of phrases I'm really struggling with, but hopefully they'll click eventually...
  • Read some more articles about figure skating. There's a couple of books I'd like to read but I'm having a hard time finding copies, so we'll see.
reeby10: the lower half of a person laying on grass and reading with the words 'time to escape' and a ripped looking border (reading)
On uhhh almost Friday :D

Reading
  • I read Gakuen Heaven by You Higuri. I've really enjoying some other You Higuri stuff and I feel like this is kind of a yaoi manga classic, but I only found it ok. I'm sure I would have liked it more if I'd read it as a teen lol
  • I started reading Demon Fish: Travels Through the Hidden World of Sharks by Juliet Eilperin. I haven't gotten far yet, but I'm intrigued so far. I do love sharks!
  • I started listening to Jump the Shark: When Good Things Go Bad by Jon Hein. And DNF'd it at 40%. I thought this would be much more interesting than it was. Part of what made it meh was that I just have not seen much if any of most of the shows he was talking about, but also I just found his opinions questionable. Like sorry not sorry, anyone who talks about TOS Kirk being just a huge playboy is sus in my book.
  • Ficwise, I've been alternating between JunDylan and VegasPete. Currently I'm reading a long BDSM club VegasPete fic called Don’t You Care About the Casualties by AnaliseGrey, which is pretty good but they're both a little well adjusted for my tastes.
Watching
  • The roommate and I finished Dangerous Romance. I liked it a lot! PerthChimon were very cute, but I'm glad that mostly just made me excited to see Chimon with his new partner and not too sad about them no longer being together. Also so intrigued by how PepperPapang could have been...
  • The roommate and I started watching Boys in Love. Very cute and sweet! A little too much on the good communication front, which feels a bit weird to say, but I'm loving all the new pairs we're getting to see on this.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the last episode of Goddess Bless You From Death. Great ending! I love that they wrapped up the spooky stuff and spent the back half of the episode letting PoohPavel be cute together lol
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Cat for Cash. Still very cute. I'm enjoying the shenanigans.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Melody of Secrets. I didn't think it could get wilder and weirder, but it really did! That is both positive and negative because wow, this show sure is something.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the last episode of Burnout Syndrome. Things really did go to shit, and I wasn't sure they'd resolve happily, but they did! Overall good, could have used more of Thor though.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Dare You to Death. I think it's starting to hit its stride more, so I'm enjoying that. Also, some AouBoom, yay!
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the first episode of My Romance Scammer. What a great first episode, like wow! I love that they are speedrunning the get togethers to presumably bring lots of drama very soon lol Looking forward to more.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the first episode of Duang with You. Also very good first episode! TeeteePor are so cute. I do feel like this episode covered most of what was in the trailer, so I'm intrigued to see what's going to happen.
Listening
  • Been doing a lot of listening to my Thai music playlist while I work. I think it really does help me work faster listening to music rather than watching youtube...
Writing
  • Nothing.
Learning
  • The roommate and I (who met in college Japanese class!) have decided that we want to brush up our Japanese (which makes it sound like I had much skill back then... I did not lmao), so we are studying back through our textbook. I went through the first chapter, and hey, I am remembering some things!
  • I did the third lesson of Pimsleur's Thai. I think I am mostly liking this style! But there are some words that are very hard for me to tell if I'm hearing/saying them correctly. Especially because I'm coming to realize that I kind of literally spell out words in my head when I hear them, so without ever seeing the words spelled, it's a bit frustrating.

reeby10: an old school error pop up that says 'canon error' at the top and 'apply fanfic? ok' (fanfic)
I've finally read my way through both the main collection and madness collection for Yuletide, so it's time for a rec list!

This year was such a winner with some really, really good fics. Include my three (!!!) gifts, which I adored and which I've marked with an asterisk. Most of the fandoms are for Thai shows, but not all of them, there is a variety! No comments from me because then this list would take even longer to come out, but rest assured that everything I've included is fantastic :D

reeby10: the lower half of a person laying on grass and reading with the words 'time to escape' and a ripped looking border (reading)
Reading
  • I've been working from home due to the weather this week, so no book reading. Plenty of fic reading though! Still mostly on JunDylan, with a bit of VegasPete. Currently I'm reading face2face by [archiveofourown.org profile] praystation , which I'm enjoying a lot. I love characters who lie to everyone and especially themselves lol
Watching
  • The roommate and I finished Head 2 Head. SeaKeen were so good, I love their chemistry. Really liked SurfJava too. Interesting storyline that I really just kept wishing would crossover with My Magic Prophecy lol
  • Forgot to post last week, but the roommate and I watched DMD Friendship the Reality. We were already familiar with most of the actors, but it was fun seeing the partners interacting. Especially TleFirstone, like damn. Also, Gems, my love <3
  • The roommate and I also watched DMD Friendship the Reality, It Takes Two. Also mostly familiar with the actors, but still fun to see the partners interacting. JimmyOhm were the highlight for sure, I love them.
  • The roommate and I watched Thee and Thee, a short vertical series that's sort of an AU of Me and Thee. Very silly!
  • The roommate and I started watching Dangerous Romance. Came in with the bullying way more intensely than I expected lol But I'm very interested to see how they redeem Perth's character.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Goddess Bless You From Death. Oh shit's really going down now! Loving it.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Melody of Secrets. Remains so strange. Idk.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Dare You to Death. It is kind of funny how fast the romance is going and how not the murder investigation is going lol But I'm enjoying it.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Burnout Syndrome. A moment of lovely domesticity that is already starting to implode, and I love that lol
  • The roommate, best friend, and I started watching Cat for Cash. So cute! Also much more emotional than I was expecting, but I think it'll be much more lighthearted the rest of the time.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched more of Kidnap. Very much enjoying this rewatch. OhmLeng are just so good.
  • The roommate and I went to see Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in theaters, but had to see Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King at home due to the weather. I saw them in theaters when they first came out, but I was just a kid then, so it was really fun to see them again! Very likely that I will be back on my Gigolas bullshit soon lol
Listening
  • Some random t-pop, nothing much else.
Writing
  • Started another Thundercloud Rainstorm fic. I should actually finish one sometime...
  • Wrote some poetry.
Learning
  • I read a couple of articles about figure skating. Which I know doesn't really sound like a learning thing! But I wanted to learn more about the terminology and history of figure skating, since while I've always liked figure skating, I don't know that much about it. So I've decided to treat this as a little personal course and teach myself about it before the Olympics.

Challenge #6: Top 10 Challenge
The category(ies) you choose are up to you. You can give top 10 Fics you read last year, the top 10 songs to create to, the to 10 guest stars on your favorite show, top 10 characters in your favorite book series, top 10... well, you get the idea.


When I saw this challenge, I knew I wanted to do something related to Thai dramas, because of course what else do I think of these days lol I tried a top 10 series list, but failed rather quickly. Who knew it would be so hard to narrow down to 10! And I didn't quite have enough to just include ones from any single year. I thought of actors or CPs (character partners/pairings, aka actors who work as a set romantic pairing in various series) as well, but that seemed a bit meh and also potentially hard to narrow down.

So I decided to go slightly further afield to the related topic of Thai music. Related because almost everyone I listen to is also an actor, which is how I heard about them in the first place. Songs seemed a bit overwhelming once again, but I figured out how to narrow it down!

Presenting my top 10 Thai music videos, in no particular order:

Reading
  • I'm having a hard time figuring out what book I want to read next, so of course that means I haven't read anything but fic this past week. In that, I have read a ton of JunDylan, because rewatching ThamePo really sparked something for me lol Currently I'm reading lightning (never) strikes twice by [archiveofourown.org profile] praystation , which I'm really enjoying :)
Watching
  • The roommate and I finished Ossan's Love. It was very goofy and I kind of hated the main character (soooo immature and stupid in frustrating ways), but overall a pretty good show.
  • The roommate and I started watching Head 2 Head. I was really excited for another SeaKeen show, and they have definitely not let me down so far! It's a very interesting premise that reminds me of a couple other shows we've watched, so I'm interested to see how it turns out.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Goddess Bless You From Death. Shit's finally going down! Very exciting and gross and I'm loving it.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the last episode of Me and Thee. What a fucking good show <3 I am kind of devastated it's over, but they have announced a special episode (or episodes? unclear), so hopefully sometime this year we'll get that.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Melody of Secrets. It continues to be kind of incomprehensible in ways that I'm starting to worry are not going to come together in the end...
  • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Dare You to Death. I'm very intrigued by the mystery, but also definitely enjoying the JoongDunk of it all.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I finished 4 Minutes. That uhhh sure was a show. Very odd and I do not see how they're doing a sequel from here, but I did really enjoy JesBible.
  • The roommate, best friend, and I started watching Kidnap. A rewatch for the roommate and I and I'm loving it! This was one that really grew on me more afterwards, so it's very fun to see it again.
Listening
  • Little bit of T-pop here and there, but haven't had much time for music this week.
  • Caught up on some more Ouija Broads episodes.
Writing
  • I wrote one of my two overdue holiday card ficlets.
Learning
  • Had to return Pimsleur's Thai to the library (already back on hold), so nothing really this week.

Challenge #5: Wish List
In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.


One of my favorite challenges! Which doesn't mean it's not somewhat difficult, but I do like thinking about what kinds of things I really want to ask for and also looking at other people's lists.

  • More fanworks for Thundercloud Rainstorm. I watched this a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, but I've been sad to see there are less than 10 fics! I'd love to see more fics, but also art and edits and meta and anything else.


  • Tarot, oracle, playing card, rune, or other magical reading. I do tarot readings for myself occasionally, but I rarely have the chance to have a reading done by someone else! If you do readings that are a little less than standard, whether that's in medium or interpretation or whatever, I'd especially love one.


  • Artwork of my D&D characters. I play in a few different campaigns at the moment, and I'd love to have artwork of my characters! Under the cut I have descriptions and reference pictures.

  • Read more... )
    reeby10: the lower half of a person laying on grass and reading with the words 'time to escape' and a ripped looking border (reading)
    On Thursday, whoops.

    Reading
    • I finished Clariel by Garth Nix. It was fine, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped. I was much more interested in the potential story a after the story than the one that was, you know, in the actual book. Oh well.
    • Ficwise, I've been reading a lot of NutHong and JunDylan fics, with a sprinkling of other things including more Yuletide fics.
    Watching
    • The roommate and I finished Cherry Magic. It was great! Very sweet and I enjoyed TayNew and JuniorMark a lot. I did wish there was a bit more of the side pairing's relationship, but what we did get was good.
    • The roommate and I started watching Ossan's Love. Even sillier than I expected, especially Earth's character! I was getting a bit of second hand embarrassment tbh, but I'll push through and hope that passes.
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Goddess Bless You From Death. I feel a little like we're getting edged for shit really going down, but it's still great. I also was proved right for a theory I voiced in like the second episode, so very happy about that lol
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episodes of Me and Thee. So sweet! So funny! Still so sad it's almost over!
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Burnout Syndrome. The drama with these characters is like watching a train wreck tbh lol
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Melody of Secrets. Halfway through and I can confidently say I still don't know what's going on :)
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episodes of Dare You to Death. Things are definitely picking up! Like, wow, really picking up. I was not expecting them to kiss in the third episode, but here we are. Not that I'm complaining!
    • The roommate, best friend, and I finished ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat. Loved it once again! The best friend did as well, which I'm very happy about. Made me more excited to see everyone's upcoming shows this year.
    • The roommate, best friend, and I started watching 4 Minutes. I'm not sure what I expected from this series, but it's definitely a lot darker than I'd assumed it'd be. In some ways similar vibes to Dead Friend Forever, which I don't love, but I am liking it more than that so far. The allure of Bible is at least strong enough to get me through, especially since it's a shorter series.
    • The roommate and I went to see Labyrinth in theaters for the 40th anniversary. It was so nice seeing it on the big screen for the first time! Love this movie.
    Listening
    • T-pop this week has been a lot of Perses after seeing them on Idol Energy. They've got a different vibe than what I'm used to, but I'm enjoying them.
    • Caught up on some more Ouija Broads episodes.
    Writing
    • I wrote a fic for a Just the Tip flash exchange.
    • I started writing an OhmLeng fic after waking up yesterday being suddenly very sad about them lol
    Learning
    • New category! Because I am trying to do more active learning of things this year and maybe this will be good incentive to keep that up.
    • Did some more of Pimsleur's Thai. Still need to do more to see if I like it and it's working, but the second lesson was definitely easier than the first. To be fair, it's covered several words/phrases I already know, so we'll see if that continues as it goes on.

    Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom
    Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!


    When I saw this challenge, I knew immediately what I wanted to do for it. I've gotten really into Thai BL dramas the past six months, and have started following a ton of the actors on instagram. And also following their pets as well! So here's some of those :)

    Challenge #1
    The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.


    Hello! I'm Reeby. I've been in fandom for close to 20 years in a variety of fandoms doing a variety of different things. I've got a sticky post with a little more about me and my blog here.

    Fandom Snowflake Challenge is one of my favorite parts of the year because it feels like such a celebration of fans and fandom. I'm getting into it a little late this year, but that's fine! There's plenty of time, and the important part is that I'm enjoying myself. For what I want to get out of the challenge... I really just want to get back into feeling like an active part of fandom, and I think this is a great way to do that. I want to feel less like a lurker. I want to interact with other fans. I want to post more in general, but especially here on DW.

    So here I am! Looking forward to it :)
    reeby10: the lower half of a person laying on grass and reading with the words 'time to escape' and a ripped looking border (reading)
    It's been awhile, so this gets a bit long!

    Reading
    • Read a bit more of Clariel by Garth Nix. I was having a bit of a hard time getting into it, but I think I'm mostly past that now.
    • I started reading High Stakes and Bloody Business, an anthology of vampire whump stories the roommate was published in last year. I'd already read her story of course, but I'm enjoying the others as well!
    • I started reading Dominicana by Angie Cruz, the current read for my work book club. I am uhhh not enjoying it. It's not a genre I particularly like anyway, but the family dynamics and domestic violence is especially not. Our meeting got postponed two weeks and I'm not sure if I'll try to finish or just DNF bc I'm not even halfway yet.
    • Firmly back into reading fic, yay! I got some excellent gifts for Yuletide and have been reading my way through the rest of the collection (rec list later!). I've also been reading a lot of JunDylan from ThamePo and NutHong, and having a good time :D Currently I'm reading a NutHong college AU series called And If They Talk... by [archiveofourown.org profile] firstknpn .
    Watching
    • The roommate and I finished Project Alpha. So much fun! I loved seeing the boys getting more comfortable with each other. And of course the performances were great.
    • The roommate and I watched Alpha Roommates, a follow up for Project Alpha about the winners going on a bonding trip before debuting as a band. So freaking cute!
    • The roommate and I finished Idol Energy. Very fun, and I enjoyed seeing Perses since I didn't know any of them before.
    • The roommate ad i started watching Cherry Magic. I've read most of the manga and watched the Japanese drama when it first aired, so I was really excited for this. And I have not been disappointed! So cute and sweet and funny.
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Goddess Bless You From Death. The spookiness and mystery continues to be banger.
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episodes of Me and Thee. Love this show so much, ugh. I'm sad it's going to be over soon :(
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Burnout Syndrome. Wild show, enjoying it a lot.
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Melody of Secrets. The mystery continues to deepen and hasn't really started to become more clear yet lol
    • The roommate, best friend and I started watching Dare You to Death. A bit of a slow start imo, but I'm looking forward to more. Especially with so many actors I like!
    • The roommate, best friend, and I started watching ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat. A rewatch for the roommate and I, and still so good! Especially after watcing so much more LYKN stuff.
    • I watched Thundercloud Rainstorm. A Korean BL this time! I'd been seeing a lot of it on tumblr that looked intriguing (D/S, cousin incest... the good stuff lol), and I did enjoy it quite a lot.
    • I rewatched The Muppet Christmas Carol while I was home for Christmas. A very good movie, of course.
    • We also watched Five Golden Rings, a Hallmark Mysteries Christmas movie. I was mostly there for Holland Roden, but it was a pretty good movie.
    • I watched Nomura's Giant Swarm, a documentary about Giant Nomura Jellyfish taking over the waters around Japan and causing a lot of problems for the fishing industry there. Very interesting!
    • The roommate and I went to see Anaconda in theaters. It was pretty much just as expected, which is to say I had a great time :)
    Listening
    • As per usual, I've listened to a lot of t-pop, LYKN in particular.
    • Caught up on some more Ouija Broads episodes. I'm really glad they're back posting even if there's a lot of time between episodes!
    • Also started catching up on some Happier with Gretchen Rubin episodes. I really enjoy their stuff around New Year's, with goals and words of the year and all that.
    • Idk if this really counts in this category, but I started listening to Pimsleur's Thai, which is an audio language learning system. This one's for Thai, obviously lol Because I am determined to learn! I did the first lesson and it was pretty hard, so we'll see how it goes.
    Writing
    • I started writing one of my overdue holiday ficlets. It's for a fandom I don't know so uhhh it's taking some time.
    • Wrote a poem.
    • I started writing a fic for Thundercloud Rainstorm because... well, I really needed some canon divergence mpreg lol

    Reading
    • I read more of Clariel by Garth Nix. It's not grabbing me as much as the others, but it's still pretty good. I do think the setting is interesting, being so far in the past compared to the previous books.
    • I read some fic this week finally! A lovely We Are Phum/Peem fic I was gifted for [community profile] ficinabox , and I also reread several KinnPorsche Arm/Tae fics.
    Watching
    • The roommate and I finished Our Skyy 2. The crossover between Bad Buddy and A Tale of Thousand Stars was very interesting. Primarily it made me sad about Ohm and Earth now not playing brothers in Only Friends: Dream On, because they had a really good dynamic.
    • The roommate and I started watching Project Alpha. I'm enjoying it a lot! We of course know what the outcome will be since it's the show where LYKN was formed, but it's surprisingly stressful even so lol I am having a lot of fun seeing how the boys we already knew (LYKN, but also 3/4 of CLO'VER) are interacting with each other early in their relationships. Particularly Nut and Hong, since I am a shipper through and through...
    • The roommate and I watched the first two episodes of Idol Energy. I wasn't sure what to expect, being a reality competition in conjunction with a Thailand energy group, but it's been fun! I'm always happy to see both the JASP.ER and LYKN boys, and I'm looking forward to meeting the PERSES boys whenever they're finally on an episode.
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Goddess Bless You From Death. Really enjoying Thup/Singha's developing relationship. And Darin/Sey's! They're also starting to make me slightly sympathetic toward King, which I'm not sure I'm happy about lol
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Me and Thee. What else is there to say than that it's so, so good?? I'm loving William as Rome and his longing not-a-relationship with Mok.
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Burnout Syndrome. The relationship dynamics in this show are bonkers, and I'm loving that lol Especially loving Dew, who I hadn't seen before, but it's making me more excited for his 2026 show too.
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Melody of Secrets. Things continue to be weird and confusing and everything feels slightly off in a way that some people are unhappy about but I think will all come together when more of the mystery unfolds.
    Listening
    • The t-pop is going strong. I continue to listen to a lot of LYKN especially.
    • Still catching up on Ouija Broads episodes. Currently on a true crime episode, which is an interesting change from their normal stuff.
    Writing
    • I wrote another holiday card ficlet, leaving only two more until I'm finished! Gonna try to get those finished this week so I can get all the cards sent before Christmas.

    Reading
    • I finished Across the Wall by Garth Nix. Lightning Bringer and Hope Chest are probably my favorite of his short stories (I've read them a few times, including in a couple other collections), but I also really like Hansel's Eyes and From the Lighthouse.
    • I started reading Clariel by Garth Nix (The Old Kingdom #4). We're to the first in the series I haven't read before!
    • Still no fic reading :( There will be some later today though! Because I need to read my [community profile] ficinabox gift, which looks amazing.
    Watching
    • The roommate and I watched some more of Our Skyy 2. The Vice Versa part was great because while I'd seen spoilers, it didnt' go at all like I'd thought lol The My School President part was super cute as well.
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Goddess Bless You From Death. So much happening in this episode! Very happy with the relationships progressing, even though shit's definitely about to go down.
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the latest episode of Me and Thee. This show continues to delight! Seriously, so funny and so sweet and so perfect! Also, William finally showed up and it was fantastic :D
    • The roommate, best friend, and I watched the first episode of Melody of Secrets. What a first episode, I really have no idea what's going on lol I am really enjoying Force being kind of weird and ominous, interested to see where it's going.
    • Also watched so much youtube this week... I'd intended to watch some movies on my birthday, but apparently all I wanted to watch was LYKN behind the scenes and dance practices, NutHong tiktoks, and OhmLeng compilations (that made me very sad for what could have been).
    Listening
    • Lots of new t-pop songs out recently!
      • JASP.ER's new single Touch. It's a bit more chill than their other songs, but I'm enjoying it.
      • CLO'VER's first single Next to You. It's cute! Looking forward to more of them, especially since I've now seen shows with all four members.
      • DEXX's new single Skinship. It's way more cute than the title suggests, and I loved the end of the MV lol
    • I started catching up on some Ouija Broads podcast episodes. It's been so long since I listened to a podcast...
    Writing
    • I finished my [community profile] yuletide assignment already?? I'll reread it next week once I've had some time away, but I think it's not bad too.
    • Wrote several more holiday card ficlets. Feeling shockingly ahead, which I need to not let get to me, because then I'll fall behind again lol

    reeby10: pink backgound with multicolored notes on a staff (music)
    It's Spotify Wrapped time of year! I always think it's fun, so I thought I'd share mine here if anyone's interested in seeing the extent to which t-pop has overtaken my listening in the past six months :)

    But uh speaking of Spotify, I have been hearing some not great things about it lately (ICE ads, donations to Trump, AI "artists", etc.). Not that I actually really like it anyway, it's just convenient. So I'm thinking of switching, I'm just not sure what site/app is better. Anyone have recs?
