I spent the past two days going more-or-less all out for Go Fest, and honestly I had a blast. I did a bunch of raids, got two shiny Zamazenta (one with the special background) and five shiny Zacian (no special backgrounds on any of these, alas), and am honestly pretty pleased with my shiny hoard overall. In addition to those, I got one of my longtime shiny wants: A shiny Pachirisu!

It's also been as hot and humid as a frog's armpit the past week or so, which made all that walking around... interesting. I did my best to stay hydrated and cool off as needed, and chugged more Gatorade than I initially anticipated, but I've come out the other side more-or-less fine. I did end up with more chafing than I expected, most of it in the usual places (only some of which I thought to apply preventative measures to, alas), and at least one surprise new place (my right underarm, just a little past my armpit region). I expect I'll need to keep those in mind for next year, alas. On the plus side, none of the chafing spots have blisters, which I am tentatively crediting my anti-sweat medication for.

Anyway, all that out of the way, I would like to announce that I've come up with the perfect nicknames for shiny versions of this weekend's legendaries:

Zamagenta and Zacyan.

Some new communities...

Ok so I wake up this morning with like an inbox of 18 posts for dreamwidth, and I'm astonished. I haven't had that experience in a long time. So I posted about [community profile] uc_xmen 's prompts request at [community profile] fandom_on_dw  and [community profile] fandomcalendar  and it seemed to have worked! Yay! Now hopefully more people will join in once the prompting is over as well. So if you have any X-Men unconventional pairings you've wanted to see for awhile, add prompts!

In other news, I joined [community profile] seasons_of_fandom under the Winter Court because why not? I used to love the land communities at LJ so I figured I'd try it. Plus if it gets me active again with fandom, maybe it'll distract from RL shit? Plus I miss it. 

Also I'm signing up for [community profile] 100ships (table) and [community profile] 100fandoms (table) - because again, why not? Also I need something to inspire me to write again. I miss writing. It might take me 100 years, but I figured I could combine them with claims that I've had for awhile. I do still need to move my fanfiction to my community though from LJ, plus add stuff that's been on AO3 only.

Created [community profile] tvfanfiction again here since there was only a [community profile] bookfanfiction and [community profile] moviefanfiction. I'm going to probably go through my other communities at LJ and add them here as well. Also imported posts from tv_fanfiction and [community profile] alicehatter  from LJ. So I think I officially know how to do that which is good.

OOh and I created [community profile] darcyland !! (Not a land community) - just darcylewis was being used and I completely forgot that I used chloe_otp as the formula for all the ships, but technically the Darcy Lewis fandom is called Darcyland.

Anyway I'm sure there are more to come!

I actually pmuch did as planned today! Perhaps a little more hiding from the cold in the morning than intended, but I was back from the shops by noon, so happy enough with that!

Considering rearranging my display cabinet already - not really surprising given you never know how things are going to work out until after you've done them, but kinda annoying anyway. But I think it should be good, if I can get it to work! Just gotta... actually do it. Also it'll leave me without places for a bunch of the small things, but tbh they're wasted in the display cabinet anyway, they CAN go a LOT more places, whereas bigger things? Not so much...

Calibrating...

Bit of a 'mode change' kind of day. Getting stuff set up/moved around/checked on etc since I'm now doing everything, sorta thing. I have discovered that my father packed ALL of the frozen leftovers to take with them (to Mama's surprise, too, when I texted her to check if I was just missing stuff), so I've REALLY got to shop tomorrow. I knew I probably should, but usually there's at least some pasta sauce in the freezer, and my father made beans recently so I thought some of the leftovers would be in there, but nope. All gone!

I think I'll go to the asian grocery tomorrow, since it's the weekend and the normal supermarkets will be pretty busy, and get dumplings etc. (It's in the opposite direction to the other supermarkets, so noooot a good idea to do both on the same day. Though at least it's cold enough that I wouldn't have to worry much about stuff defrosting. On the other hand, who wants to be out in that weather longer than they have to be?)

Sweet, sweet silence.

My parents have gone away for a couple of months! Finally! I get some time to myself. And also. Quiet. Just. It's so much quieter, it's great.

Anyway, nothing huge today. Slept a lot, because no one to make me get up (and also tired from yesterday). I even did some tidying! :D Also sewed a patch on my bag awww yeah :D :D :D

1. A character you absolutely worship
2. A character you like
3. A character you could give or take
4. A character you don't really care for
5. A character you'd like to spork

1: Name a pairing that you absolutely would die for
2: The pairing that you like
3: You would give this pairing, or keep it
4: The pairing that you wouldn't really care about but still support it
5: You really hate this pairing to hell, and you wish it was never alive.


If asking about Deltarune, I've played and beaten the latest chapters so you'll be seeing new characters and ships. :D

So I didn't actually get any tidying done today, either.

However, as this was mainly because I was helping my parents move furniture around, and put blankets over the one large gap? Pseudo arch? IDK the thing where there's no wall between rooms, open plan bullshit except this is baked into the bones of the house from well before open plan was a thing (it's between the lounge and dining area. Not unusual to have glass double doors somewhere like that, but no doors here, just a gap. IDK). Anyway that was a LOT of lifting/coordinating/maneuvering and it was fairly tiring!

Also later in the evening I helped my father download all his books onto his new kindle - the previous one died, and he was happy with how it worked so he got a new one, as you do. What the shit, Amazon. )

So anyway the upshot of that is that if anyone knows of an ereader that's kindle-level reliable and doesn't do that shit, plz to let us know. (My father had a Kobo originally but it died in less than a year, so he's a little skeptical about Kobos specifically. The previous kindle lasted 8-9 years and my father is not a light user, which is the main reason he just went and got another one when it died.)

Anyway! Not really a lot else in between all that. Lot of time spent flopped recovering! Furniture is heavy! (Particularly the couch. I mean, the solid is good most of the time, but...)

Sleepin' nao, yes.

Busy busy

I did SO MUCH SOCIAL today omg. Went in and got lunch with A, like I said yesterday, and it was stupid crowded so it was extra draining. Was fun, though! :D

And then I came home and like... five minutes after that my parents came home, and Sibling wasn't long behind them, so I didn't get much of a nap. I mean, I still tried but it wasn't as easy as when the house is quiet, bleh.

But we had dinner (thankfully take away, not going anywhere!), and it was good? But yeah, I am drained as hell. Not helped by catching up on Azy's game thing which ate like... an hour and a half just before now um. >>;; Should've put the off until tomorrow, but too late now!

Sleeps nao though. Attempt to do more house stuff tomorrow, yes.
