It's important to know these things, okay

Hey loves, how are you all doing? I'm on my fifth attempt at writing a general update and I've not really made progress. Not much has been happening! Everything continues to be fine! I am very lethargic and trying to pull myself out of it, it's... Going.

• I did fail another will save against stationery; this time I bought shiny new pens, because obviously fiction is blue and I can't use my blue fineliners for this fic triage project because I've worn down the nibs. I have fancy pens now, we are going to be very happy together.


• ... Did I mention that I started with 297 drafts? Because that was a thing that I did.


• SHOULD I ADMIT TO HOW MANY OF THESE ARE KISSING FICS.


• It turns out that one of my tiny adorable notebooks will last me about two weeks as a diary. ... They're like forty pages long and I talk a lot. NO ONE IS SURPRISED.


• I need to find icons for my current fandoms, so if you've not turned that notification off I guess brace yourselves for the inevitable Untamed/Animal Crossing/My Next Life as a Villainess icon spam coming your way.


• SPEAKING OF MY CURRENT FANDOMS: I ended up doing my capslock about My Next Life as a Villainess in like two days, and I'm trying to work out whether it would be better to post one a week like I'm doing now, or post them all over about a week so it's finishing up within living memory of me watching the show. Which do you think would be less... I don't know, intrusive? Repetitive?


• LexGarrett found a game called Heart of Crowns, which is basically Dominion with anime-style princesses, and I'm here for it. I'm very bad at it so far, but that's because I'm playing the PC version and it will just let me sit there and build a deck almost entirely of cards that let me more draw cards, which is all I ask for in a card game. See also: my Blue's Clues Magic deck, which is 75% "I want to draw cards that let me draw more cards" and 25% "sometimes those cards are 10/10 cosmic horrors instead."


• Still hard to get my brain to focus on reading, but I am very tentatively trying to get back into crochet. I don't know if it's going to work, but I'm trying! And I theoretically have some cross-stitch kits coming in the post, so that might keep me out of trouble during RPG sessions if the crochet doesn't.


• I've lost any ability I had to count stitches and follow a subtitled show. Whoops.


• It rained today! I think that means Nottingham's had it's three mandated sunny days of the year and now we're back to business as usual. On the plus side, everything smells like wet tarmac and plants, which are the best smells.


• ... Yeah, as far as I can recall that's what I've been up to since the last time I posted. It's mostly been capslocked about My Next Life As a Villainess, having intense feelings about The Untamed, and... Kinda gazing into the void. Sometimes the void has stationery videos, sometimes it's zoning out while either LexGarrett is watching One Piece or sithe is playing the new One Piece/Dynasty Warriors fusion AU game. On the plus side, now I know that sithe can't play Dynasty Warriors clones at the same time as answering perfectly reasonably questions like "Is there a Fruit-Fruit Fruit?"
