AO3 is down...

Sir Patrick Stewart died yesterday, which is heartbreaking news - I was first introduced to him in the 90s, some of my earliest memories is watching Star Trek with my dad and sister (I was more cognizant aware of when Voyager/Janeway was on), but the Next Gen series was definitely my first introduction to that franchise and one of the reasons why I loved it was because of him. Have I seen everything he's been in? No, but he's just one of those actors that you know you will enjoy his performance no matter what. His version of Charles Xavier, as much as I don't actually very much like the character in the comics, MAKES me love him. This is a great loss, mainly for his family of course ♥ RIP, you will be missed.

-----

And as I'm sure some of you already know, AO3 is down for maintenance which is horrible news since it may or may not take 2-4 weeks for it return. Or it could be fixed faster than that. Luckily all my fics are posted to my dreamwidth community right now, [community profile] harpiewriting.

Also thanks to [personal profile] maevedarcy I discovered, [community profile] dwfanfic which is a dreamwidth directory community of people who post fanfiction on dreamwdith. It's not a complete list, since it's self-promotional but very useful if more people add to the community.

I think it mostly affects exchanges as well, but there are plenty of fic challenges located here on dreamwidth, which we have mostly listed HERE at the profile of our prompt challenge [community profile] fandomcrazyy community (mine and [personal profile] heartsfate).

And if you're looking for fanfiction to at dreamwidth to check out, let me suggest [community profile] tvfanfiction [community profile] animatedfanfiction [community profile] bookfanfiction [community profile] moviefanfiction and [community profile] comicsfanfiction. I know my tvfanfiction community had a lot of stuff imported via livejournal, so I'm not sure how much of the others have stuff that doesn't link works directly to AO3.

Anyway, I did want to let you all know that I'm bringing back [community profile] girlsavesboyfic aka Girl Saves Boy Ficathon that [personal profile] misscam started on LiveJournal back for 2010 and 2011 (I got permission to do so and hopefully it does well). I think it'll be ready for sign-ups by November 1st-14th and posting dates will be the following month December 14-31st (honestly I just need to make a couple banners). This year will be November/December, unlike the LJ community which was September/October, I might change it back next year but it depends on what happens this year. I know December could potentially be really busy, so that's why the posting range will be longer than what the LJ challenge did.

I reviewed the book "Beyond Welcome"

"Beyond Welcome" asks, why would Joseph do this? Could it be because, even though he had lived in Egypt for a long time, and had basically assimilated, he still felt that he needed to prove his loyalty to Pharaoh, or else people would think he wasn't Egyptian "enough"? As immigrants, there is pressure to fit in, to go along with unjust systems that exist in the country you have immigrated to. You don't want to stand out. You don't want people to see that you're different. So you don't take a stand and challenge things that are clearly wrong.
 

Read it here: Beyond Welcome (a book about listening to and learning from immigrants)

More moving stuff!

My arm still hurts, so I didn't do any of the bookshelf stuff today. Which is both annoying, and okay, because I DID do OTHER stuff. Moved three of the small bits of furniture, put some stuff away... also figured out what I want to do with a couple of bits, but I couldn't do it 'cause I need to use the drill as part of it, to make things safe, and it was too late for that. So that'll have to happen tomorrow!

Did figure out where I'm probably gonna put the raspi stuff, but I'm going to need some extra stuff to make it work, so can't do that yet. Gonna try and get other stuff sorted out first, because lbr I might stumble across something I already have that'll do the job that I don't realise I have right now, heh. Luckily, where I want to put it isn't going to be behind the desktop, so I can move on to the Stuff Behind The Desktop situation once I get the drill-needing stuff sorted out tomorrow. Which may need more than one day's work depending on how stuff actually works out, but we'll see I guess...

Also played a bunch of Vintage Story! More than I planned, actually, since AO3 is down (woe). Mostly making TWENTY BAJILLION TILES, ugh I'm going to need so many omfg. Just. So many. They're so annoying. At least you can buy the finished blocks from some of the traders, but getting the colours you want is luck-based and while it's still WAY easier than making them yourself it's still not a lot of blocks at once... :/ So yeah I expect to be in Tile Hell for A While. (It'd be nice if you could just add the tiles to blocks rather than turn them into blocks, but if you do that it's a DIFFERENT TEXTURE and one I don't like anywhere NEAR as much as the full blocks, soooo this is how it goes. Bleh.)

mmmm

I drilled the extra holes in the bookshelf! They look like they're working Just Fine yaaaaay :D :D :D I also repainted the scuffed bits! So hopefully that part's all finished, and I just have to work on the actual shelves now.

Unfortunately, my forearm is aching a bunch just behind my wrist, so I'm guessing I mighta overdone it with the rasping? Or possibly moving furniture? Something, anyway. So I didn't do any work on the shelves themselves today. Bleh. Hopefully it'll feel better tomorrow!!!

I DID get something like three quarters of the display cabinet done - not sure where I put the rest of the stuff, but it'll turn up as I get more stuff put away. Tomorrow I think I'm going to concentrate on my desk - if I can get my desktop moved that'd be great, but it's way way WAY easier to organise the stuff behind it before I put the computer in, so I've gotta figure out what that's actually gonna be. ^^;;; Will probably start with the raspi stuff, because that needs to be easily accessible, and can fill in around that...

Derped around in Vintage Story some more, too, mostly random base building stuff. One day I will have enough stuff to do what I want! Probably!! Ran into what might be a mod compat issue, too, so I've sent a comment off to one of the mod devs, and will see what I get back. Hopefully it's an easy fix, but who knows, mods are temperamental.

Anyway, bed now, and hopefully this arm thing will heal up! >: It feels like a bruise, but there's nothing on my arm, so if it is it's internal, bleeeh. Anyway, sleep is healing! >: >: >: Important to nap!

I had a bit of panic at first because I couldn't find my tools, but they're on a new tab now. I'm really liking the new profession perks! The "processor machines can pull from Primary Storage" QoL is completely messing up my organization system, tho, so I +1'd a Discussions thread about it.

because i saw there's this thing called the Snowflake Challenge that ALSO has prompts and ALSO runs in January and i was worried there might be too much overlap with Blanduary

then i saw that not only is it for fandoms, it seems to be...about fandom. and that has nothing at all to do with the Blanduary challenge! false alarm :)

I did... less than I intended to today, yet again! Yaaaay! Or something. (Sushi did the thing again. I am weak.)

I moved one of the smaller bits of furniture, though I think I'm gonna move it again, it's not quite working right where it is. Which is fine, this is why we test things! Just kinda annoying, it's awkward to move. Also brought some boxes of STUFF back in - I was gonna redo the display cabinet, but I didn't get very far before I got distracted by fixing one of the dragons. (The wings fell off Some Time Ago, and I saw some superglue in one of the cupboards recently...)

I DID spend several hours cooking, though. That did eat up quite a bit of the day. But now I have delicious beans! And won't have to cook for a few days, even better. :3

Other than that, played some Vintage Story. Nothing too interesting though, mainly just did some pottery stuff. XD;;

Oh also it's Shedding Season, dunno if I mentioned it, so I'm spending uh. Some Time on that every day. God, so much fur... I do NOT know how they're still shedding, and not like. Bald. Caaaats.

it is time for you to become Aware of me

( my backstory )

anyway, i'm proudly a panromantic asexual (that happens to be sex-neutral, basically meaning i'm not repulsed by it). i will hold hands, hug and kiss anyone i love of any gender, but i do not feel sexual attraction. i don't look at bodies and feel any kind of desire. i would like to one day find a partner that's like me in this way, but i think the odds of that are pretty low haha.

Hex Quilt UPDATE!

we've decided we're going to go vote tomorrow. i'm nervous, even though i probably shouldn't be. it's not as though i haven't done it before!

i think it's just the idea of being in a line surrounded by strangers, most of who are probably voting republican...i think i just feel a sense of danger from that. but you know, someone has to get out there and fight the good fight, right? and i don't stand out, visually speaking--my appearance is rather cis, and i'm white, so i imagine i'd blend right in.

still can't really shake the nerves, though.

 in my dream a character showed up that just might be an idea for a new OC!

her name was Josephine. she HATED that her name was Josephine. she was kind of a bitch. she was very talented at art, though she only drew normie stuff like eyes and butterflies. the details about her are fading but this is what i remember.

Today I... left the house!

Slept most of the day - I was poking around on my phone after breakfast, and Sushi came and snuggled with me under the blankets it was too cute, of course I fell asleep aaaa. (He was even there when I woke up! On top of the blankets, so clearly he moved, but still!!!)

But after I woke up again, I did go down to the shops, and got. Ingredients. I was also gonna get dinner, since it was after 7 by that stage, but nowhere I wanted to go was open. :( Mondays, man, I get why they're closed but also I was hungryyyyyy. Alas! Scrounged up some odds and ends when I got home, but still, not very satisfying.

Tomorrow I'mma cook, no getting around it! At least I have ingredients now, heh. I'mma make beans again - I actually cooked the beans themselves yesterday, I just needed the other parts. Gonna be kangaroo beans this time! :9 I do love pork, but it's good to vary things, too.

Didn't work on the shelves at all - it was raining and cold and dark by the time I was back home and fed - but I did mark out where I'mma try adding the first two sets of new holes. Again, the dark, so no power tools, but I'll try that tomorrow, probably. >: And I moved some stuff back into my room, so even though it feels like I didn't get anything done, I did actually do something. Just. Brains. And the food thing is more important, anyway - can't work if you have no energy!

Also some Vintage Story, but nothing too interesting there. And now I go to sleep! >: Is cold, want blankets yessss...

i just woke up and had this thought

 if i had kids (and the economy wasn't in shambles) i would introduce them to SpongeBob SquarePants by having Fish and Chip Fridays where we would get fish and chips and watch the show together.
idk i was half asleep and thinking of "drop on the deck and flop like a fish" which made me think of fried fish.
