FTH Offers
Feb. 28th, 2026 03:37 pmWhoo! I'm participating in the FTH charity auction once again. Offers are open for browsing.
You can see my offers here. You can also see a list of all fandoms on offer here.
Bidding opens on March 03!
This year I'm offering up to 5k of Hetalia, Promare, or any fandom I've written in the past (such as Ex Machina, Vatican Miracle Examiner, Frozen, etc). I'm offering any characters/pairings.
If you're interested in this but don't really get how it works, I might be able to help - I've participated on both the offering on bidding ends before.
I'm really looking forward to seeing whatever the winner requests; in the past I've had asks for pairings that I normally don't write, and in the end those often turn out to be some of my best fics.
Anyway! Whoo! Let's see how this goes!

Feb. 27th, 2026 10:11 pmAs a figure skating fan, those sure were an Olympics. At least Niina Petrõkina did away with a few more men.
Now for the (seasonal depression) music.

Feb. 27th, 2026 08:09 pmI've been struggling to be interested in things lately, but I'm going to try to get some thoughts out!
I'm so excited for 1348 Ex Voto. You play as a knight errant named Aeta and you're off to save your girlfriend. The gameplay looks pretty rough, I gotta admit, but I'm still cautiously excited. I encourage you to not read the comments on that youtube video unless you want to see the very worst of the gamer community complaining about it. :\ Anyways, this game comes out March 12th, which is a Thursday, the beginning of my weekend, so that's really nice. :3
Resident Evil: Requiem was released today and I'm excited to find an LPer who plays in a not annoying manner, haha, because I'm absolutely so hyped for this game, but I'm also a huge chicken who is not good at scary games. XD; Excited to see
Pokemon Wind/Waves looks gorgeous! Since it's not even being released until 2027, I hope that means they're giving themselves time to really polish it up. And that gives me time to afford a Switch 2, haha. XD;
....had a sudden urge to try to app somewhere to rp. I haven't successfully rp'ed in ages lmao. I don't even know who I'd play as.

Wednesday Reading Meme
Feb. 25th, 2026 03:02 pmWhat I Just Finished Reading
Nothing, unless you count rereading Avengers: Endless Wartime for the 616 server book club. Am I counting that? I guess so. Fuck it. It's really bad.
What I'm Reading Now
Comics Wednesday!
( Iron Man #2, Sorcerer Supreme #3, Ultimates #21, Wiccan Witches Road #3 )
What I'm Reading Next
I am hoping at some point to have enough brain energy to make it through a real book. I am also hoping to have enough brain energy to write some kind of update about my brain. Neither of these things have happened yet, but I now have enough energy to occasionally reblog things on Tumblr.

Birthday
Feb. 24th, 2026 11:31 amAnother year older and ...
I typed that and my mind continued,
"...deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me
'Cause I can't go --
I owe my soul to the company store"
So then I had to go find Tennessee Ernie Ford singing "Sixteen Tons," and now you get to hear it, too:
Anyhoo. Today is my birthday. Yay.
I have no special plans, except to go out in a bit and shovel the walk and dig out my truck and do the usual weekly shopping/post office trip to town. Nothing special about that, really. Maybe I'll buy myself a birthday treat at Walmart.
The big treat was getting tix to the two BTS concerts being streamed to theaters in April. They were supposed to go on sale tomorrow morning, but I saw people saying they were on sale already last night, so I checked my local(ish) theater that shows the BTS movies, and there they were! Got my favorite seat booked for both weeks. (First row behind the floor/wheelchair rows, on the far right aisle.) And counted up the seats -- they've booked them into a 95-seat theater, so that means, if they sell out, I'm going to need to make ~100 freebies for each showing, if I want to make sure I have one for everyone! Eek! That's... a lot. Oh well, I have plenty of time and if I don't end up making that many, I can only do what I can do.
I decided I like the way the bag charms turned out after all, although I do need more red and white beads, which I ordered and they should be arriving today, along with some other beading supplies. I also made a couple of bracelets with the ARIRANG colors, and I like those, too. I decided to do bracelets for one showing and bag charms for the other. And, as usual, any leftovers get put in the bag for the live concert in August.

We managed to escape the worst of the Nor'Easter that came through, with only a few inches of new snow. It's supposed to be dry today but more snow is forecast. Still cold, but not quite as cold as a week or so ago. Winter is not done yet, but at least we're nearing the end.
I keep meaning to make a BTS icon but I forget. Just imagine I used one.

Music Meme Poll
Feb. 24th, 2026 01:26 pmRules: put your music on shuffle, and make a poll with the first 5 songs that appear to let folks vote for whichever they like best!
I was tagged by
gothyanki but I don't actually listen to playlists much these days, I either listen to specific albums/songs in a variety of ways, or the radio. Last time I did this meme I cobbled together a collection to randomise from, but this time I decided to just listen to the radio (specifically Double J) and write down the first five songs I like enough to theoretically listen to on purpose (though the only one I remember ever actually seeking out is "Weather With You" and then only because it was attached to other Crowded House songs I like more)
