I've had some really nice fic comments lately (I suspect I may have been recced somewhere BUT WHERE). Looking forward to getting the fandom part of my brain back so I can actually write again

Despite ongoing Extreme Uncertainty I'm daring to get a bit excited about moving. I looked up the bin collection days for the new house today (shared on-street bins right now so collection days are unimportant. Having My Own Bins is an exciting novelty, as is having a loft, internal stairs, etc)

Haaaa I received and accepted an offer for the flat this afternoon, I'm losing my miiiiiind !!!

Four viewings down, five more currently booked in this week. The ultimate fear: that I have to go through the exhausting process of having this many strangers in my unnaturally spotless home and *none of them want to buy it*

Flat has been on the market for three and a half days. Three viewings down. Three booked in over the next week. The uncertainty of everything is making me want to crawl out of my skin

Had the first couple of viewings of my flat today (which went on the market on Thursday). Please let one of them make a decent offer, I'm already done with having half my belongings hidden away in cupboards and keeping every surface spotless

So listen I had an offer accepted on a house yesterday. I am freaking out because I want this *so much* and so scared it's going to fall through somehow because nothing will be legally final for months

For me there are two very distinct flavours of horny, namely "I want them to rail each other" and "I want them to rail ME" and unfortunately have to report I'm experiencing the latter for the first time in years in the most embarrassingly basic way on completing astarion's personal quest in bg3

After failing the first go last month, today I passed my driving test!! Was so convinced I'd failed this time too, fully burst into tears from shock when the examiner told me

They knew what they were doing

"[cql is] heated rivalry but ancient china" sorry I can't hear you over the kill bill sirens

Look I know moresomes are challenging to write but I cannot BELIEVE that in a fandom this massive there are only six lwj/wwx/sl/xxc fics on ao3. Like are the narrative parallels and hero worship not enough to generate just a couple of little pwps? For me?

I don't read a lot of fic with jiang fengmian in but whenever I do I find the characterisation choices unfathomable 95% of the time

hey all, spooky (@skstarlight.bsky.social) is rising from the grave to announce a chill mdzs/cql read-watch-listen-along for anyone who might be interested in playing along either on here or on the dreamwidth comm. you can find the full post here: wwxfans.dreamwidth.org/6792.html

When people enthusiastically recommend a (single season, usually cdrama) show to me that hasn't finished airing, like no I'm sorry, I NEED to know if a show is going to stick the landing before I sink tens of hours of my life into it

That's how it was for me with #TheUntamed/ #CQL 🥹🥹🥹 #cdrama

Saw the "mdzs & related fandoms" tag out in the wild for the first time...this could be life-changing

I'm aware that I'm being a 100% downer on here and have been for months (years??). I hate it, but I'm just so stressed and sad and anxious all the time and my life is in complete flux and I have no one, no one to lean on that I wouldn't feel a burden to. But I'm trying

When platforms bring in measures that don't affect the US: oh that sucks 😊 obvs we'll still require discord and/or access to DMs to participate in our events tho When it does start to affect the US: FANDOM MUST CHANGE

hey has anyone done a sort wangxian fusion with lwj being haunted by a dream version of wwx driven by his guilt that he could have done more to prevent his death

Update: watched Inception lol (DVD pre-movie trailers for The Owls of Ga'Hoole and the Deathly Hallows Part I videogame)

'I guess it would have to be mdzs canon since CQL WWX is an actual demonic cultivator' ??????

Inception soundtrack came up on my random playlist and am reminded that, man, no fandom whiffed it quite so badly in terms of what I actually wanted to read than the arthur/eames fandom

Having doubts about the estate agent because he had a weak handshake, like the 1950s businessman I clearly am at my core

Made the firm decision to push on with moving home (selling & buying) last week and it has Consumed Me. Have scoured reddit for solicitor reviews. Started all the million little DIY fixes to make my flat look extra sellable. Mood pinballing from excitement to despair on an hour-by-hour basis

Cloud Recesses era Wei Wuxian, you'll always have my ❤️ #XiaoZhan肖战 #TheUntamed/ #CQL #cdrama

'Don't show me any videos where the person is using a huge handheld microphone'. 'Don't show me any videos blatantly piggybacking on this week's ragebait trend' Can you IMAGINE

If AI was actually worth shit I'd have the ability to describe in detail *why* I clicked 'not interested' on the recommended youtube video

Things I can no longer do without a vpn (fyi for those outside UK): - see any images marked nsfw on bsky - access bsky's chat function - access any discord channels marked as nsfw (even in servers which are 18+, and these are not always the channels you'd expect) - see any images hosted on imgur

aspirational

Reblogging art that ALREADY HAS ALT TEXT to add an image description with only a 'please reblog this version :)' and no comment at all on the art itself just feels passive aggressive and I will block you

booktuber making a whole video 'analysing' the heated rivalry craze then admitting in the comments, when people are like 'this is literally just what fandom is like it's nothing new?', that they haven't heard of gay fanfiction. Mate you read tiktok romance novels for a living how is that possible

Hey bsky I'm not in the US and even if I was would not give a solitary shit about the NFL

This prompt was for wen qing/mianmian. I personally am a big fan of wen qing being the heartthrob of cloud recesses summer school... she's so dreamy she'll patch you up and MAYBE MORE #WenQing #Mianmian #LuoQingyang #TheUntamed #CQL

Finally filling some art prompts from tumblr: this one was 'Wen Ning trying to stop a lamb or lambs from eating his sleeves and/or bush disguise' #WenNing #TheUntamed #CQL

No to writing, yes to attempting to install linux on my old laptop (I already have a windows desktop and a chromebook, I don't really *need* another device, but both chrome and windows have become SO nannyish in their recent forms and I have nothing to lose)

Absolutely Struggling with writing this year so far, as per, but just managed to finish the draft of the next chapter of the cloud recesses pwp thing. Editing will be a nightmare but I'll take this small success

Defrosting the freezer on a whim because god I need to succeed at *something*

Failed my driving test this afternoon. One stupid error. Utterly despondent. It's still really difficult getting a test slot in the uk, so "just keep taking it until you pass" is not the comfort people seem to think it is

I have never seen such utter insanity as the "if you liked heated rivalry watch this" recommendation posts on tumblr

Relevant to last repost, wangxian fic idea I've been playing with in my head this week that I'll probably never write: timeloop, but just for the evening they spend in the jingshi in episode 43

Good night! #TheUntamed 🐰🐰 #CQL #WangXian

Can't remember if I said I started baldur's gate 3 from scratch and it's going MUCH BETTER THIS TIME. I just got to pet a baby owlbear, I may as well quit here

the older i get the faster time goes by and the more it makes sense to me when vampires in fiction are like "yeah didn't really do anything for 30 years just kinda took it easy"

Fiinally finished stranger things, which was fine. As always could have done with 100% less military, every time the show had a hard on for guns and bombs was time for me to scroll through tumblr. I liked the big silly monster fight though

Unfortunately it seems that seeing a list of "things that are different in the book" and thinking "well that sounds fucking wretched" is just a common life experience for me now

A little owl doodle for a Tuesday afternoon

It's 10pm on a Tuesday so the perfect time for living room neighbour to pump up the bass, I guess! Also bedroom neighbour just went out so expecting to be woken in the early hours when she returns 👍👍👍

Read a 2020 fic (which I'd seen recced) and honestly so inspired. Like this is what floats my boat, good old fashioned canonverse getting-together casefic. God there's been some tasty casefic written for this fandom
