What a time to be alive

We don’t talk about Line 3 in the same way we don’t talk about Terminal 2

キャスターといえばキャストリア！

I finished part one of Chainsaw Man yesterday. I enjoyed it considerably. When I looked at fandom discussion of the series and frustrated opinions on the author, I can’t help but be reminded of the Folding Ideas video “Annihilation and Decoding Metaphor”. I don’t think there’s a right or wrong way…

Update: Today’s new word is “Dacryoadenitis”, suspected to be related to the tonsillitis and oral chaos/mono-like symptoms I had the other week. Kinda a tricky thing to get a diagnosis for, though, since it presents partly as much more serious conditions.

Without being too “woe is me”, this is the third time I have been in hospital in as many days. Dealing with a situation that is strange and dramatic, but not immediately dangerous. Or, as the ER doctor put it, “I am seeing what you’re seeing and I am equally confused”. This fall is ridiculous.

With all the talk and fighting over “recommended reading/watch orders” and pressure to consume media in very prescribed ways, I feel we’ve lost a chaotic shared fandom experience and nerd conversation topic. So, what series did you encounter out of order? Or in the weirdest possible order?

I got fed up with being a women in sports media. I picked pharmacy at random. It turned out I had a good mind for sorting insurance claims, a decent intuition for sniffing out trouble, and a stubborn sense of justice that pushes for patient advocacy. My speciality was a complete fluke.

No one: Absolutely no one: Me: What if we shipped Spadina station with Higashi Narita station?

EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY!! BEGIN!

My “While Watching Football” project. I was going to do this earlier this week for a presentation I was supposed to do (mostly joking about reading too much Decem Libri Historiarum for OC writing) until I learned the hard way that COVID can reactivate EBV. In other news this fall is cursed.

Sportsball is over until June next year. (I follow CFL and some hockey, my frustration with the sports betting industrial complex keeps me away from most pro-sports)

FLAG IS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER

Ok Winnipeg, time to boo MGK just like you did to the Prime Minister. #GreyCup112 #CFL #Riders #Alouettes #CFLonTsn #GreyCup

NFL football is a faster-paced game than CFL football and that’s because in CFL football the quarterback has to call every play in English and then French. Follow me for more CFL stats and insights like this.

The reason NFL end zones are smaller than CFL end zones is because in CFL football you need room in the end zone to turn the Zamboni around. Follow me for more CFL stats and pre-game insights like this.

CFL games tend to have higher scoring games than NFL games because in the CFL the score is in metric. Follow me for more CFL stats and insights like this.

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

Here’s the room where I keep all my things

I don’t know, the Grey Cup is pretty nerdy to post about. I’m normally cold on businesses naming stadiums but I also accept “Princess Auto Stadium” as one of the better options.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is significantly more compelling story as a novel rather than as a webtoon.

Some Fate/Geist PC art, inspired by two ideas from @ntbkompy.bsky.social: “What would your character wear for Halloween?” and “Valberg in flannel”. I’m less than happy with the final result of this one, but feel this is a medium + media failure.

I never want to be cornered at a convention and asked about the ethics of THAT transplant ever again.

better late than never to post this again #ShirouDay

Mission was successful

Fall morning vibes

Today’s vacation adventure: waking up too early for legendary local mochi

Get in the time machine, we’re going back to #GenCon ‘96

It occurred to me today that I could put together a panel or a video entitled “The Most Unhinged and Wild Tolkien Fanfic You Have Never Read”, but I don’t know what platform it’s best suited for. I also feel bad about clowning on the author, because there’s so much love in the novel. BUT ALSO.

Everyone raving about Lycoris Recoil: Ordinary Days was actually just raving about that fourth short story, right? All I will say is that I’m always pleasantly surprised at how earnestly queer that series is.

In the immortal words of Jay Sherman, Back My Book!

Finally on vacation. I thought I’d be free after that massive professional obligation was finished, but then I found myself in the middle of one of the worst Long Week Workload in a while, then Thanksgiving with the in-laws yesterday. I forgot it was National Coming Out Day yesterday. Uh, um, oops.

Update: It was actually 300 pages. Y I K E S

I’m finally mostly free of a professional obligation that has been going on since July. It clocked in at over 200 pages. Time to finally fully commit to fandom nonsense… after work. Pic is mostly unrelated, although kinda reflects my mental state.

Oh hey, memes from last week’s Fate/Geist session that I forgot to share.

#bweirdoctober2025 Day 3: Fav OC I’ll do something more profound with you later, Curtis. Eventually. This was inspired by our recent trip to Stratford. Our motel was across the street from a sheep farm. They make really wild noises in the middle of the night.

FGO #inktober

Finished another “TTRPG and Streaming Nights” #crossstitch project. This one ran January-September. This is the largest project I’ve completed in terms of surface area, although it’s not the most complicated. This pattern is from the 90s and lacks the “confetti” of modern designs.
