Joy

Been forgetting this lately in part because I'm actually having a lot of fun on Bluesky. It's everything twitter never was for me.

It's cold and snowing out right now and I've been listening to a few different podcasts here and there. Deca Tapes was incredible. I enjoyed The Corveil Cases well enough. I'm also glad to see The White Vault: Goshawk back. All my other old standbys are really good too. Bitcherton is really promising.

Still slowly reading books here and there. On the third book of Case File Compendium and wow this is painful in a good way.

I'm trying to get structured with my writing again, with a weekly goal of sorts that should hopefully be a little more flexible and will include editing and posting as well.

Honestly, I haven't been reading a lot of fic lately, so the fanfic rec thing fell on the wayside, but I'll have to get back on it. Fandom isn't feeding me like I'd like, but I'd like to do my part.

Been watching Young Royals while I do stretches. It's a slow process since you know I only stretch so long after a workout or on my days off, but I'm making progress. Everyone is so messy in this show! I'm having fun though. I love everyone but unexpectedly August is my boy, utter mess and dick that he is. He's just also a really stupid woobie. There's a lot of woobies in this though.

Gaming-wise, the big ones are Honkai Star Rail and Harvestella. and with the latter, I get why some people didn't like it, but I'm also surprised because I'm having a lot of fun. The flow of the game is great and I'm enjoying the story.

Podcast-wise, I've started This House Will Devour You and I can't recommend it enough. Spooky gothic horror in the form of letters being exchanged between a couple in 1920's Ireland and England? Oh hell yes. The horror is slowly building and getting more nerve-wracking. I also like that Elizabeth and Jon genuinely care about each other, making the listener more invested in the goings on.

As for books, I already talked about it on booknook, but I'm still chugging through Lirael. I'm past Sameth's first pov which was pretty harrowing. I'm wishing I read these books years ago, because the story is very solid. I'm somehow not super spoiled for them, which is making everything a surprise.

Manga, manwha and general comics are too numerous to mention and probably worth another post, but knowing Netkama Punch is ending soon is making a me a little down, though I've loved the progress the last few chapters.
