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 [community profile] 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.

So not much has been happening this week, but I did start reading Eyeshield 21 and so far this is incredible. Like Hiruma alone is worth reading it for. I've never seen a good guy character like this, one who is kind of a huge dick, but so enjoyable you don't mind? I am excited for when Mamori actually does find out Sena is Eyeshield 21 though and disappointed that apparently the anime doesn't go that same route.

But this is a surprisingly fun and engaging sports manga and I've learned more about football form this than I have in like decades of being alive?

Also in non-manga news, I'm reading Soulless by Gail Carriger. I wasn't sure I was going to like it at first, because the writing felt, I don't know, awkward and Alexia was that kind of special that can get annoying. But she's growing on me and the universe is become interesting, as is the mystery at the heart of the book. The romance is a little silly, but enjoyable as well.
