Chapter 6: They got all the body parts! Lol they made an abomination of random parts.

Wow, what happened to the students is seriously dark.

Oh whew, they're still 'alive' technically.

Chapter 7: Nene going through some character growth about her past actions!

What 'responsibility' is Hanako talking about?

I wonder what Hanako's weakness is? And what does the toilet have to do with how he became Hanako?

Alright I don't normally like romance in my shounen but I think I like Hanako and Nene. It's probably doomed though which is par for the course for het pairings I've liked in the past.

That new char guy's name is Natsuhiko. New girl character too.

Chapter 8: Lots of romance vibes. Nene thinks Hanako likes her and that he might confess under this 'confession tree' that just suddenly appeared.

Two guys practiced confessing under a tree and suddenly became a couple. Too bad it wasn't real and is played for laughs

Aww Hanako's apology for upsetting Nene. Now she wants to know more about him. I'm pleasantly surprised by the pacing in this manga, it feels just right.

Chapter 9: Minamoto Teru is Kou's older brother?! Teru's not much of a prince in private it seems.

This chapter reminds me of what Nene went through accepting Hanako despite knowing he killed someone.

Chapter 10: Man Teru is twisted, I wonder what he really thinks of Kou in his heart?

Listen at Teru spouting bullshit without actually knowing Hanako. *smh*

Hanako cryiiing. T_T I don't believe they were all fake tears, he really felt what he was saying and there's no way Teru would've been moved by tears anyway.

If you would have told me any point within the last few years that I would be listening to a country artist, I would have probably laughed at you - I mean I like certain songs and usually limited to only a few artists but I started listening to Queer Love mix list via Spotify and I was like, why is Elvis on this list? Come to find out the song was Roses Are Falling by Orville Peck, which was definitely interesting to find out - to me, he sounds so much like him. Anyway I definitely suggest checking him out if you didn't know he existed like I did.

But to be fair, I haven't really listened to much outside of radio while I'm in the car or I usually do iheartradio artist playlists of usually of Mary Lambert, Hayley Kiyoko, Olivia Rodrigo, Maddie Zahm, Zolita, Fletcher, and Renee Rapp - the last six I found via Mary Lambert's "playlist/channel". If you're unfamiliar with iheartradio, if you have the free version (aka ad filled), you get similar artists whenever you click on an artist. Or at least familiar enough I guess. Chappell Roan I think I also found via that playlist, but also she kind of blew up a year or two ago. Pink Pony Club of course is I think my favorite song.

Discovered a whole bunch of new musicians that way a few years ago. I fell in love with Mary Lambert's version of Jessie's Girl and quickly loved her other work. Now for Maddie Zahm I think one of the first ones of her work was Fat Funny Friend or If It's Not God which I adore. I think Renee Rapp got me with her In The Kitchen and Pretty Girls. Zolita I fell in love with her music with Somebody I F*cked Once. With Fletcher I believe it was Girls Girls Girls. Olivia Rodrigo I think was Vampire. Hayley Kiyoko with Girls Like Girls.

I think through listening/watching the official music videos of the above singers, I discovered Cloudy June (Girls Like You) and many more like Morgan Wade (Fall In Love With Me), Ryan Cassata (Daughter), Rosemary Joaquin (Erika) Devon Cole (Hey Cowboy), Xana (19), girli (More Than A Friend), G Flip (GAY 4 ME), King Mala ("she calls me daddy"), Maggie Lindemann (she knows it), Hollie Col (Unholy), Aston (For the Girls & Mama Didn't Raise No), Sarah Barrios (Thank God You Introduced Me To Your Sister), Pale Waves (She's My Religion), Chloe Adams (Dirty Thoughts), Halsey (Strangers) and Matilda (Apologize). Also really liked Jeangu Macrooy's Independent Girls & Nasty Evil Gays (which with that title, kinda gave me pause, but then you hear the lyrics and it makes sense and not actually anti-queer)

I think the last "new" country songs (not sure how "country" they are though) I've enjoyed over the last few years are: Tanner Adell's Buckle Bunny and Lil Nas X (Old Town Road). Also really enjoyed Ashley McBryde's What If We Don't.

Anyway, I don't normally talk about music on my journal, but I wanted to do something for

3weeks4dreamwidth & since I've been doomscolling too much on instagram lately and the world is just shit and I haven't felt like writing - so I figured I'd talk about some music I've enjoyed over the last few years - and yes most of them are queer related, so if anyone has any favorites or recs, please suggest away! And let me know if I introduced you to anyone new! Or if you also like them.

I hit up a bunch of local thrift and antique shops yesterday, looking for some specific items, but also just sort of browsing.

I have accumulated several prints from various artists - some from art shows, some from online purchases. I want to frame them all with different frames and lean then on an empty wall shelf that's been sitting there since I moved here. The last time I had a batch of prints like this, I went to Michael's and got identical frames. This time, I'm trying some a little different - and a lot less expensive! I had an inventory of what sizes I needed and pics of each print on my phone so I could see if the frames would work with them. It took going to three different stores, but I eventually found what I needed.

Another treasure I found is a Fine Young Cannibals CD for $2, which I'm currently burning to my computer.

One of my projects for this spring is wallpapering a bathroom - I took the wallpaper sample with me in case I found some art that would work with it. I found one piece, although the frame is black and it might look better against the wallpaper with a gold frame. I'll have to see once the wallpaper is up. Might paint it gold. I also found a small mirror that might work. If not, I have another spot for it.

Lastly, I found some painted glass birds Christmas ornaments. And I've got stock stuffers for my children for next Christmas and it's only April!

A very successful and rewarding raid!

I meant to post this last night, but I was le tired. My schedule has gotten all messed up from dog watching; I've been crashing at 9pm and getting up at 6am. It's only 7:05am and I've already had coffee and a bagel. That's UNHEARD of for me to eat that early!

Anyway: during the gear-up to the start of 3W4DW, I had decided I would post daily during the celebration with some check-ins. Here's the check-in for day one. We will ignore it is now day 2.

1. one creative thing I did today

Not much, but I worked on a swatch for a tee I'm going to knit! Actually, I already started the tee, but (a) I misread the pattern, (b) the icord edge was really tight and making everything look sloppy, so I decided to start over, this time doing a proper swatch instead of just diving in.

I also asked

smallweb for some advice. Actually, I'm interested in non-techy answers, too, so I'll ask here as well:

Currently, my Final Fantasy XI fanscripts are laid out as one expansion's entire mission line on one page, though I have horizontal rules between each mission, and also have "jump to" links at the end of each mission to jump to a different mission. Example page: https://altheavalara.neocities.org/ffxi/rotz

I'm banging my head against those jump-to links. I'm working on documenting the next expac in the series, so I need to put the jump-tos in to be consistent, but... I hand-coded them, and that is a pain. I was trying to figure out if I can automatically insert them with Jekyll magic, but I'm stumped (Jekyll is my static site generator).

So now I'm wondering if it would be better to split the expansion into separate pages for each mission. I could possibly use Jekyll magic for pagination, then. It would mean a LOT more pages on the site, but may be easier to handle? There's benefits and drawbacks to both methods. As a reader, what would you prefer?

2. one thing I'm proud of today

I started cleaning up! I'll be going home today and would like to leave the house pretty much how I left it, so I gathered dirty dishes and garbage and took care of that. I need to run the dishwasher and handwash some dishes, but I'm proud of the start I made instead of leaving it to last minute.

Also, I posted my list of community recs again, as I said I would when 3W4DW started. Go me for following through on a plan.

3. video game progress

Well, being away from home means less video gaming. I pretty much just played WordScapes on my phone. Not much to report there. But I also answered some questions on Mastodon from someone who had FFXIV Free Trial questions, and reposted my starter guide from Bsky to Mastodon... which I might have already done in the past, but whatever, it's reposted.

In theory, I was planning to start on the structural edits tomorrow; in practice I feel like I'm being clever "cheating" by starting today. No, I have no external deadline. This is just My Brain vs My Brain and winning 😎 (maybe???), lol.

The feeling most at the surface at the moment seems to be a kind of terror, which obviously is not nice to feel but I'm also fascinated by it. Why do I feel like this? This is the first round of editing. I'll have at least the prose edits later to refine stuff, and proofreading, and then whatever changes happen after beta-reader feedback. That means while there's a ton of work immediately ahead, there's also not as much pressure around "MUST GET EVERYTHING RIGHT LAST CHANCE!!!" Yeah there's a lot to do, but I've been working on the Cursed With for nearly 3 years. I know I can put in the work. I'm using a new method of editing based on that workshop, but normally I'm excited to try new things, especially related to something I know I have difficulties with (clearly my way of doing structural editing for the witch wasn't good enough, considering how much structural rework I had to do again after beta-reader feedback). Is this overwhelm? Is this because, while I was proofreading the witch and noticing different ways subplots or other arcs could have been worked, I kept thinking "Well, at least I'll do it better for the Soul Thief!" and now I feel some kind of pressure around it?

I noticed before that when I transition between projects, there's always a few days feeling out of balance, paddling frantically without finding my footing. Sometimes it's because I'm doing something new, like figuring out how to handle beta-reader feedback when there is a ton of it and some of it requires massive rework. But even when I know how to do something, like the proofreading of the witch earlier this month, there's still a similar adaptation period, even knowing what I wanted to do (use text-to-speech) and having previous experience doing it.

It's interesting to reread that post about implementing feedback because I suspect I wrote the post with the same kind of feeling I'm swimming against today. So I must have started writing the post, and then I made a list of what I intended to do. And today I want to break things down like that as well. There's so much to do, and the very first chapter in particular needs a ton of changes.

( The Plan! )

Okay, self. You got this. And look: there's still a bit of "oh-no-this-is-new-i-don't-know-how-to-do-this" dread, but nothing terror-like anymore. There's a plan! You follow the plan. And if it doesn't work, then you learn something from it and make a new plan.

I Used to Trust ...

I remember how I didn't believe Bob after the "assassination attempt" on That Man In Butler, PA, when he said the whole thing was more than suspicious, it was obviously a setup. We had a largely friendly contretemps about it. After I watched the man's miraculously healed ear I started to think Bob was right.

And now it's happened again, just when his approval ratings are in the toilet. Funny, that; Butler, PA happened when his approval ratings were tanking, too.

A lot of the reporting I'll trust will be independent journalists' not the legacy media types who put on their best duds and attended the White House Correspondents Dinner.

As I said, I used to trust.

But this was, you should pardon my cynicism, a fucking setup.

like, Damon is "my type of vampire" but Stefan had more character development... and like Matthew from discovery of witches, actually had a reason (the same one) for abstaining from human blood... which wasn't the guilt in itself, it was that he would feel the need to rip peoples heads off and feel so guilty he put them back on the corpse(like a remorseful Angelus, he felt guilt while in the action that he enjoyed more than most vampires anyway)... other vampires in the series (everyone but bonnie was a vampire at some point in the show) could either drink sips of humans and let them go with their memory wiped of the experience, or drink blood bags. he was the only one who couldn't drink anything without loosing his ever loving shit. he tries to get both of his main love interests, and his bestie do his "vegetarian" diet, Elena not wanting to kill anything he tells the larger animals usually survive the attack... he hasn't drunken anything bigger than a rodent for like 70 years, because he likes to hunt, he eats bb animals because he wants to rip their heads off. This helps in explaining why his vampire powers are so weak... they say early on because he's drinking animal blood instead of human blood, but... how much blood can you get if you only eat 2 pound rodents? it's probably the equivalent to Damon's time with the Augustine's where they fed him like a shot glass a day, or Lilly's time in the hell world where she took a dropper full of butcher blood a week to keep from desiccating

My main problem with Twilight bullshitery is because they didn't seem to actually care about humans, just wanted the proximity to humans and sort of fetishized humanity. if they cared about anything they could have either bought butcher blood (like buffyverse vamps), or as Carlisle points out in the last book, bought BLOOD BAGS, because up until then i assumed it was an IWTV sitch where "dead" blood didn't work and made you sick. i have my issues with (book) Louis, but god damn, it at least made sense in that universe why he made the choices he made.

Anyway, the point is I wish my brain would stfu because I know I'm not actually going to vid again but it keeps telling me songs are Stefan fucking Salvatore.

I can't wait to rewatch BtVSU because I want to know how I feel about the characters having a fully formed frontal cortex. like I expected to like Klaus more in the Originals but it went "nope, you like the one who hides the fact he's a monster by wearing 9000 dollar suits and holding honor and family as his highest values"

eta: btw, I'm rereading IWtV and Louis still bugs the shit out of me. So I know that isn't just child brain.

three weeks for dreamwidth

winterfirelight

It's Three Weeks for Dreamwidth time!

I will admit that this sort of snuck up on me, so I have no real plans for anything special to do this time around. But I will try to post more, if nothing else! And, perhaps, be more active in the comments of other posts. True to form, I am a habitual lurker, but maybe one of these days I'll manage to break out of the shell a bit more. The thing that I enjoy about this site compared to others is that you really get out of it what you put in. Other places have felt like an engagement black hole, but here, the more I engage, the more rewarding it is. I'm still just terrible at making the time for it.

But fortunately (?) I'm sick today, so I have no excuse not to take some time while lying in bed to make a post. Here's a few random updates on life:

The garden is bursting with all kinds of life! Angelica and sage are both on the verge of flowering. Borage and comfrey are actively flowering. Other things are still waking up and shaking off their dormancy, but it's looking to be a busy (and hot summer.

I've finally managed to get back into reading! I hardly read at all last year, too much else going on and not enough attention span left. But a couple months ago I finally picked up a book, and now we're back to it, at least as time allows. Books read lately include:
- The Birthgrave, by Tanith Lee - a fascinating re-introduction to sci fi/fantasy as a genre after some time away
- The Wild Girls (and other poems/essays), by Ursula LeGuin - my aunt gave me a (signed!!) copy for Christmas last year and WOW am I glad she did
- Uncultured, by Daniella Mestyanek Young - a more comfortable read in the sense that when I last spent more time reading, memoirs were my bread and butter. A deeply uncomfortable read in the sense that cults are no joke to experience, even second-hand
- Currently reading: Kindred, by Octavia Butler - so far so good! A little weird I never read this one before, honestly

After finishing Harvard's Intro to Computer Science class last year and having a blast with it, now I'm working through Intro to Python, with a couple more of their free courses on deck after that

I think I mentioned awhile back that I managed to finish writing my longfic that's been in progress for 10+ years? The update on that is that I've now finished editing it as well, and am posting a chapter a day on Ao3 until it's done :)

I... may be doing yoga classes again? The jury is still out, and it's moot while I'm sick anyway, but the studio is in walking distance and reasonably priced. Unfortunately I am out of shape enough that it is MUCH harder than it used to be, which is unpleasant, if a clear sign that I should do more of it. I just wish the activities I preferred for exercise were more accessible.

I am crossing my fingers that whatever cold I've got passes soon. I feel like I've been sick every other week for a couple of months now - always different things, never just allergies. Nothing severe, fortunately, but still deeply annoying. Oh well! Nothing to be done for it now but to lay around and drink copious amounts of tea and find more ways to pass the time.
