I had the perfect vidsong for Elphaba last year, the kind of perfect that only comes up once ever few years... and i fucking forgot to write it down 😭 maybe someday it'll come back to me

Wait sorry if this is old news but did AO3 finally fix the way fandoms are listed in gift exchange tagsets??? it's SO much easier to read now

you need this joy in your life today

[vid]: Bohemian Like You (Murderbot Diaries) on Youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1kI...

I love that my entire timeline is just everyone being thrilled about the Murderbot season finale and renewal ♥️

#Murderbot Tumblr holding me over until next week

... i think @kuwdora.bsky.social is going to start and nearly finish two different vids today

i was just talking about this with friends last week! he's incredible

I went from watching not very much tv over the past few years to watching ALL THE SHOWS AT ONCE & it feels like too much & not enough at the same time I think I would just like more time in the day to enjoy multiple hobbies (watching tv/movies, gaming, reading) AND do the necessary household chores

For the past several months I’ve been talking to @kuwdora.bsky.social about The White Lotus coming back, referencing something on the show, etc. thinking we had watched it together. After going along with it for all this time, she finally just told me she has never seen it 😂😂😂

Today @kuwdora.bsky.social & I went to Costco for the first time (I technically went once a few years ago but got overwhelmed immediately and did not last very long) It mostly consisted of us pointing to things that looked interesting and yelling, "oooh, [name of product]!"

Festivids reveals!! I made one vid this year, Light It Up (Rebeca Andrade)! Will post the signed version soon, but here it is in the meantime. I had a lot of fun making this, and still have so many unused clips from her instagram!!: archiveofourown.org/works/62463151

I have been stressing out all evening over encountering the worst export problems I've ever had, and could only find temporary fixes for before it would go back to glitching. Friends, after 4 hours of panicking... I solved the problem by *restarting my laptop*

1 like = 1 little thing that brings me joy

Still okay but worried about the strong winds coming back tonight and the high potential for more fires 😣 I think we will be okay, but I'm so sad for my city, and especially the folks who lost homes that have been in their families for generations. What a nightmare.

Just in case your elderly relatives are talking about it: there are no looters. It’s simply not happening

I had to drive older kitty to the vet yesterday (she had a health scare but is ok) and the amount of debris and uprooted trees in my 5 min drive was astounding. I had to cover her carrier in a blanket to protect her from the falling ash. We are several miles from the nearest fire, thankfully

Still safe but horrified

Do not appreciate how much one of the fires grew during the four hours I slept, but we are still safe so far. Keeping a close eye on things, ready to leave if we have to but I hope it doesn’t come to that. Worried about the roads and the kitties. Scared and tired but thankful we are ok so far

We are safe from the fires for now, but prepared to evacuate if needed. Hopefully we won’t need to, but hard to think about sleeping when we have no idea where fires will break out and how quickly they’ll spread. Winds are pretty intense - a few trees nearby got uprooted and transformers are blowing

my therapist suggested i listen to reiki healing music and i was worried about a different sound frequency hurting my kitties' ears, so i found reiki healing music *for cats* and it's still very soothing to me, so we all win

People whose judgment I trust have vouched for these #MutualAid organizations. (As a survivor of a catastrophic tropical storm myself, I *strongly* encourage people to donate to local aid groups and NOT to the Red Cross.) #HurricaneHelene #Helene

ADHD reading: when a character goes to a beach, and it reminds me I want to get a beach umbrella, so I pause the book to online shop for beach umbrellas for 20 minutes, then don’t actually buy the umbrella, because now I’m not sure if I want one for a beach chair or for when I’m sitting on the sand

i've been feeling incredibly bored lately, not because i don't have plenty of things to do (both things i want & don't want to do) but because my brain cannot commit to anything. i wanted to read a book and stared at my collection for 30 min and then started 5 different books before settling on one

Well I'm glad Equinox went live before AO3 started logging me out and not letting me log back in

Fall Equinox 2024: After Life is now live! Please enjoy the 19 vids submitted to the collection! archiveofourown.org/collections/...

Have I risen to a 2 or 3 (or even higher???), or am I still a 1?

Ah Festivids, the time of year where I suddenly forget every fandom I've ever liked in my life

I love when shows have a character find creepy photos of themselves taken by an antagonist and it’s literally just unit photography from the show

I absolutely love that this is the icon Paramount+ chose for Boimler and now I kind of want this to be my icon everywhere

This vid was an absolute delight! What a perfect song choice, too

VidUKon really filled my cup this weekend. I've been pretty much out of fandom for the past few years due to depression, but I've missed this community a whole lot and really enjoyed chatting with friends (new & old) again. I've dipped in and out a bunch but I truly think I'll be around more now ❤️

rhea made yet another amazing 9-1-1 vid!! i GASPED when i saw the song/fandom pairing, and it did not disappoint!

The Equinox vid exchange is back! The theme for Fall Equinox 2024 is "After Life." Nominations for After Life fandoms/sources are open now through July 7th! More info on Equinox, this season's theme, and how to nominate sources here: equinox-exchange.dreamwidth.org/37888.html

I made a 9-1-1 vid! An homage to the various wacky disasters, the wackier the better. [VID] Run (I'm a Natural Disaster) by Nestra - 9-1-1 (TV) archiveofourown.org/works/56892058 via @ao3org

If you are able to help out financially, I am an always-broke disabled queer, and I have a paypal account, paypal.me/sandphin?cou... Thank you to folks who have helped me out in the past, it is super appreciated.

Hi I'm here and 10000% on my 9-1-1 bullshit

Sharing for a longtime friend 💜 gofund.me/4c0c03b2

Another very LA post from me: I hit Oscar traffic on my way to watch the Oscars at my friend's apartment (I usually have to drive through Hollywood to get there so this time I had to drive all the way around it, which added an extra 25 min due to both distance and additional traffic!)

So you know how Star Trek fans feel when they see references to the other series in Lower Decks? Like, it's still funny and accessible to people who haven't seen the other Treks, but there's a special treat for those who have? That's exactly what it's like living in the valley & watching Cobra Kai

I'll update with a signed version and a DW post soon, but wanted to talk about the vid I made for Festivids in the meantime! I ended up defaulting on my main assignment for the first time ever - I just couldn't make it work ☹️ I honestly wasn't sure I was going to be able to make a treat, either!

@bironic.bsky.social friend!! thank you so much for the festivids you made for me! I loved them so much ♥️ i was just thinking the other day how nice it was to see you around festivids, because it's been a while since we've seen each other / chatted! i hope you're well! ♥️

@kuwdora and I are doing one last festivids watching/commenting spree before reveals! I've still only seen about half the vids but it's such a good crop this year (it is every year, really!)

Festivids sooooooon!!!

my brain is always running around 75% or lower during the day and suddenly surges to 100% around 9pm and lasts until i go to bed. i know this is also called "being a night owl" but it's not very convenient

@kuwdora.bsky.social just told me she knows what kind of mood i'm in based on how i react to the suits theme song 😂 i'm apparently in an "okay mood" now because i bobbed my head to the song but didn't sing along like i usually do. if i don't react at all i'm UPSET or deep in my feelings

If my festividder is on bluesky then i'm so so sorry i haven't posted a letter yet, i promise i'm gonna this weekend!!! but also i like pretty much everything so don't worry ✌️

i'm excited for my festivids assignment! maybe this will be the year i get started early (lol)
