I just saw a TikTok that was "why has Hudson Williams been hiding his tattoos since becoming famous?" I'm guessing that person hasn't seen any of the content that I've been seeing *everywhere*....

I've been rewatching (the first couple of seasons) and catching up on the rest of #StrangerThings the last week or so. I'm just about to start the final season, but I gotta say (unpopular opinion), this show should have finished after the first season.....

Quiche made with potatoes instead of pastry is far superior to the original!

Okay, today is "catch up on &Team activities" day because my spreadsheet is wildly behind at the moment. (Also why did I decide to start saving *all* official photos of them? Now I can't stop doing it and there are so many!!)

I know that Pokémon Go is designed for kids but it's successfully getting me out of the house most days. So thank you @daazd.bsky.social and @syngekitsune.bsky.social for playing with me on it!

Regular reminder time! 1. Please use alt text on all your images. There's an option in settings that won't let you post without adding it. v.v.useful. 2. Sign up for the pronoun labeller @pronouns.diy. Let everyone know what your pronouns are! No more misgendering! 3. I love you 💜💙

Am I the only person who doesn't like Eddie? I just find him annoying. #StrangerThings

Woke up with my third headache in three days and exceedingly loud tinnitus, which was my clue it wouldn't be a good day. I'm on the sofa now, barely able to lift my head (or phone). Hopefully this is only a short term fatigue and I'll be okay in a few hours because this sucks.

What I'm learning is that you're all awesome. Seriously. I'm especially excited to see some who work in communications, like me!

I've just realised that for most of you, I have no idea what your real jobs are. If you're okay telling me (in as little or as much detail as you want), I'd love to know....

Past!me left all the shitty work jobs until Friday. Present!me is cussing her out....

Hubby made potato rosti for tea and it's close enough to my dad's potato latkes that I kinda want to cry. I miss my dad for a lot of reasons, but a big one was the food he used to make for me. No one else has ever been able to make it the same way...

K doesn't mind being stuck in an elevator with Yunho. It turns out Yunho is as sweet as he is hot. When the emergency hatch in the elevator pops open, a very young boy in red and yellow sticks his head through, ready to rescue them. "Really? You couldn't keep your pants on for a few more minutes?"

"I'm not sure this is how you're supposed to be protecting me," Namjoon says. The couch is barely big enough for the two of them, but Namjoon has his arms wrapped around Jungkook to keep him close. "I'm guarding your body," Jungkook replies with a kiss to Namjoo's bare chest. "Keeping it safe."

"You don't have to kiss me, hyung. We can just hold hands while we pretend." It's possible that fake dating the guy he's in love with isn't Jimin's best plan. "But, what if I wanted to kiss you?" Hobi asks quietly. Jimin suddenly realises he may have made a terrible (wonderful) mistake.

For #MoreJoyDay, I'm throwing out a challenge to you all! Leave a comment for the author on a fic you love. Or leave a comment for a friend on Bluesky (or any other platform) and tell them something nice. Or tell your work colleague that you like their hair/shoes/jewelry! Go spread some joy!

"When I'm with Nicholas I'm most like myself." -- Byun Euijoo. I think about this a lot. If that's not a confession, I don't know what is...

This is why I'm doing #MoreJoyDay tomorrow. If I can make one or two of you smile, then I've made things slightly less awful.

Okay, tomorrow is #MoreJoyDay, so I'm taking micro-fic requests. Give me a pairing and a trope and you'll get, at the least, a summary of what I would write. At best, you'll get an actual fic. K-pop fandoms: &Team, BTS, SKZ, ATZ, aoen Other fandoms: DCU bat-family, TKA/QZGS, Untamed

A lot of us on here have spicy/neurodiverse brains. So tell me what "hacks" you use to trick your own brain into doing things?

I fell off a table and fractured my wrist. No, I wasn't dancing on it, but I was using it as a step down from a higher table I was standing on. The leg of the table was damaged and when I stepped on it, the whole table collapsed. I was 16 years old. Weeks before my exams.

I love AUing one fandom into another. Which is probably why I was thinking about the newest American based k-pop style group to form, Batboys, consisting of Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake and their maknae, Damien Wayne...

Thursday is the 2026 #MoreJoyDay. I'll be writing microfics and sharing picspams upon request/prompt for the day. But you can always start requesting them now! In these no-longer-unprecedented times, I firmly believe we should all be sharing as much joy as we can...

I'm so exhausted today that even a delivery of photocards isn't exciting me the way it should do. 😭

I've made a deal with a friend who hates clothes shopping about as much as I do that we'll go together in a couple of weeks. I need clothes that actually fit me, and the promise of cake as a reward is about the only thing that will work for me...

He is perfect. I don't say this about many people, but he really is.

I definitely have a type. Dancers. Xin Liu, Chinese idol 😍

Spending the first full week of the new year trying to chase the hospital to get the results of my biopsy and figure out what the hell is happening with my diagnoses...

It's so pretty 😭

In part because of Fuma from &Team and in part because of @daazd.bsky.social, I started a new Pokémon Go account. (And mostly so I can try and get out of the house every day) I only have one friend now (Daa) so if you're playing still, let me know your trainer code and I'll add you!

This blanket my daughter bought for me is absolutely perfect. It's as warm as a duvet but so much lighter. I don't always like the weight of a duvet, but I do like to be warm, and this gets the balance just right. I could spend my life under this blanket.

Hubby and I bought each other presents today. Same hobby, different fonts...

I've got a new Soobun (&Team) fic and a new Sharpa (TXT/ATZ) fic to read, so I'm going to bed with a hot water bottle and a cup of tea...

Bumping this from yesterday. If you want something soft and fluffy that's also really short, I've got you covered!

Thought about growing my hair longer again because when I go to Japan, I want to wear kimono and I'll look stupid with a shaved head....

For the last two years, I've posted a fic on the 1st January and I've had good writing years. So in order to not break that streak, here's a short fluffy K/Fuma fic. archiveofourown.org/works/76879106

Happy new year from the UK! (And now, sleep lol)

Okay, in the interests of forcing myself out of my comfort zone (and also not waiting until the new year to do things), a selfie. Me and my Fuma blanket patiently waiting until midnight so I can go to bed!

I don't really do resolutions, but I do want to have the confidence to take more selfies this year (in preparation for going back to Japan). Any selfie-taking advice for someone who hates the way they look (and especially hates their smile)?

It's barely 8.30pm and I'm already tired. I'm determined to stay awake until midnight (I like to start the new year writing fic, kinda like an "as I mean to go on" thing), but it's going to be tough to keep my eyes open...

Turns out my appointment today was with haematology, not hepatology (blood not liver but I've spelled them wrong I'm sure). So no answers to what's wrong with my liver, but a whole new (minor not to worry about) blood thing. Probably connected to my immune system. I hate this.

@heyyylala.bsky.social I found some refill pads in the size you recommended and they fit!! (They even came with an extra elastic, so I can add extra ones to my journal!) Thank you 😘

Sometimes you need to re-read an old favourite series. Today it's The Tower and the Hive by Anne McCaffrey.

If I wanted to make little videos for TikTok, what video editing app (android only) would you recommend? I know capcut is the most common one, but that doesn't necessarily make it the best...

#menstruation I swear that since becoming perimenopausal, my body has become much clearer about pre-warning signs. I never used to get quite so much notice. In related news, I've not stopped eating all day so far...

When I went to Japan, I bought myself a travellers notebook for the first time and loved it. But it turns out that I bought a really weird sized one and can't get replacement inserts for it. So now I need to look for a whole new journal. Anyone used Wanderings travel journals?

I maybe spent most of yesterday on Japan trip v2 planning. Dependent on what my specialist says on my hospital appointment this week (and when I can finally start my meds), I'm tentatively planning to go back in early November. Just for a week, and really mostly just Tokyo and Osaka...

Back at work today. Not that I'm actually planning to do a heap of work, but I'm here...

Important question: what is the Korean word for "toe-beans"? (Also if you have a cat, send me toe-beans photos please!)

Can someone make me go do the thing I've been putting off for two hours that I know will only take me 5 minutes to actually do....
