me: i’m going to stop reading #HeatedRivalry fic for five minutes and do a crossword the crossword:

housing is more expensive now, but also a lot safer. this kind of home was considered cream of the crop in the 1980s

if i change my name on here to "dan howell bottom surgery", know it's because of this clip #dnp

if you’re wondering how big the space between “ao3 canonized a tag” and “ao3 announced the canonization” can be, this tag was in the latest batch post

lol might have spoken too soon on the “we’re back” front #dnp

standard “i’m posting this to remind myself to check for phodcast at midnight” post of the week. so glad we’re back #dnp

watching todd in the shadows do a trainwreckords on macklemore reminded me that i saw the lead singer of foxy shazam eat a cigarette onstage as an opener to panic at the disco, which is to say: man the 2010s were a time, weren't they

Dan and Phil name the Game Changers series

sometimes i think about what stories i've read that come closest to my life experience, and when i take Sister's books out of the equation (for obvious reasons), i think the answer is actually the goldfinch. that sad gay in the desert part? i have lived it lmao

@annemari.bsky.social congrats on your new gifset! i've never done it before but i keep thinking of getting into it for dnp just because there are moments people don't gif that i want to see in gifs lmao i don't know how people do coloring, though. some giffers are magic where that's concerned

me after watching #ThePitt this week

I'm in love with this comic of MCR on The Muppet Show www.tumblr.com/gorgeousnerd...

anyone up for round two of adaptation book club? i say it further down the thread but the only ones happening soon would probably be vampire chronicles (unless i got a lot of enthusiasm for game changers in a prompt way). i'd probably start dune in early fall because those books are big

love that #dnp came back from vacation ready to inflict emotional damage on the phandom

just got a (very lovely!) “probably won’t see this” comment on ao3 and little do they know, i see all. i’m just too neurotic to reply. lmao

watched this because i have Opinions on red carpet fashion and my number one thing for men is tailored trousers, which they talk about in here! #HeatedRivalry (the bar is so low but if you look at men on any carpet, SO MANY of them are tripping on their trouser legs. i hate it.)

sometimes i remember that the first place i saw the film office space was my high school grad night and i'm like. who picked those movies.

i went to a tv-show-themed wild-west park (it was tiny and doesn’t exist anymore; the tv show was way before my time) and to a town that was huge in the old west and now basically only still exists to have historical buildings/mines you can tour. also snowshoeing once

i'm in a weird space where i'm still hyped from the oscars but there's no hard launch this week, so i'm processing by rewatching #dnp watch #HeatedRivalry

did i post this entirely so i could say "bring #dnp back to the dolby theater" on this account? yes. #oscars

@inlovewithnight.bsky.social grogu made an appearance at the oscars!

if anyone cares, i'm liveposting about the oscars on my ~public presence acct. if you don't care, i don't blame you lmao

important update: i had both cake and pie (at two different times of the day) and it was great

today is pi day, but i don’t think i’ve ever eaten pie on 3/14 before because it’s also Sister’s birthday, so we always eat cake however. we have pie for unrelated reasons. so i’ve already had cake AND i’m going to eat pie later. a good day.

for anyone who hasn't watched #HeatedRivalry enough, i really like this artist's shorts. the blink-or-you-miss it hayden in this killed me www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiDQ...

me? skip a vampire meme? never

i wrote a couple thousand words of an idea that wouldn’t leave me alone and that nobody else would want lmao. naturally it was in bed when i wanted to sleep and couldn’t #HeatedRivalry

i love joining new fandoms and seeing conventions people are bringing in from other fandoms. like, in heated rivalry fandom, a lot of writers make an ao3 series for all their works in that fandom so people can subscribe to that and not miss anything without subscribing to the author generally

uh oh i'm having problems loading ao3 and @status.archiveofourown.org doesn't have anything. cry

in case anyone else forgot until they saw a link, the importance of being earnest streamed a few hours ago and you can watch it back for the next week www.youtube.com/watch?v=obX-...

to continue the metaphor (badly): if you listen to the audiobook, like i did, the train's horn sounds like vico ortiz*! (best known as jim from ofmd)

fell victim to one of the classic tech blunders (device stopped charging, forgot to try restarting it before getting upset about it)

ao3 canonized a tag i read a lot and it’s been (pleasantly) jarring. thousands of stories in there, and now i can sort by popularity/word count instead of just clicking to see the new stories! delightful

in other news, i just crossed 300 #HeatedRivalry bookmarks. i daydream of writing rec posts by theme/trope because i could get so granular. alternate versions of the injury in s1. alt versions of [one of the things from the long game]. social media AUs. alt versions of [another long game thing].

me: why am i not getting anything done lately. like, even worse than usual also me: [tells Sister all the ways i've been struggling without thinking about it] me: it's a mystery

yep, new episode is up on overcast #dnp

so if the phodcast release changes with the time change (since they use a US-based company to release it), we're fifteen(ish) minutes from the new episode. telling myself this so i don't forget #dnp

i don’t want chill pop at all right now, wow. turned off harry styles’s new album like three songs in because it’s not remotely the vibe i want tbf i probably shouldn’t have listened to rosalía’s berghain right before but also…why wouldn’t i, that song is so good

time changed 😭 when can we stop doing this 😭😭😭

the thing about me is that i'm a giant skeptic about everything but when phil lester says the queen of england was reincarnated into dan's labubu, i believe him #dnp

blood moon, anyone? not the best pic, but not bad coming from my cell phone

finally got a chance to watch the #dnp bonus yap and i have to say, i did not try to get as many friends as possible on myspace. i just friended people i knew irl and we swapped personal info surveys what was with the millennial urge to categorize yourself. science may never know

i hastily downloaded a bunch of fic. you might want to as well

if you're feeling bereft without ao3 like i am, you can go read a #dnp notfic i posted on tumblr where dan warms on the idea of weddings because he thinks he could do it better than straight people geniusphilester.tumblr.com/post/8100329...

this reminds me of the time i saw hozier live and the roadie who set up his performance area stretched their arm as far as it would go over their head, and that’s where hozier’s face spotlight went

ao3 came back just when i was about to fall asleep so naturally i read a bunch of fic and now it’s 7 am. why doesn’t reading in bed count as sleep, anyway

when ao3 had its last big (and scheduled) outage, i dl’d a bunch of fic in advance. really coming through for me tonight

lol i started rewatching gdt's frankenstein and totally forgot about hard launch. i'm almost done with the movie, but getting caught up in gothic shit and forgetting the other stuff in my life is very me

they can't catch a break today

i had to work last night, so i didn't set my alarm for the livestream and caught up later. happy to report: they're cute #dnp
