I'm doing Domaystic (as you know). Have several exchanges I've signed up for. They don't require too many words, so I don't feel overwhelmed. However, I do have one that is a minimum of 1k and I've already reached 5k for it. Whoops!

I guess I did. Stupid card games.

Yeah, that's the weird thing. I haven't posted a Bandori fic in a bit, so it's been a surprise that someone has started going through them, giving kudos on a lot, and occasionally giving a few words on the ones they like most. And it isn't sticking to a pairing/character. So they just like my writing all the way around~ <3

Considering it is actually addressing the miscommunication issues of the main pairing and not leaving it as something for the end of the four season plan gives me hope in ways a lot of series don't when it comes to romance plotlines.

Thank you for the reminder I should binge some QI again.

I'm barely keeping up with things I want to be doing! However, I have signed up for a few more exchanges though, because those have managed to get my creativity flowing where my projects are... not. I still want to be doing them, but perhaps I needed a break? I'm hoping to at least get a few chapters of my ongoing big series done so I can start updating again on its anniversary in June. That would be nice.

I've gotten some comments on much older pieces in a smaller fandom though, which were a pleasant surprise! Nice to know people are still reading some of those drabbles/double drabbles I did when I was getting back into writing fanfic.

Still obsessed with the Hellaverse. The rest of HB season 2 is coming out this year and I'm already dying.

Taking part in a pairing week too. It's the last day and I have two days (or four chapters) left to do. It would have been fine, but my ideas have grown for every part to get longer and longer as the week went on. Whoops!

I've signed up for other exchanges, for some reason. Perhaps because I got really inspired by one of them and am hoping that another will do the same? Anyway, I'm currently working on one exchange and one Big Bang submission for YGO. Then it will be time to get back on the stupid Puzzle vs Haga duel which is causing me such problems.

Oh, and prepping for Domaystic. Both of those things. This weekend is busy though, so I'll probably only be finishing up the pairing week and then doing the rest of the stuff after the weekend.

Here's a Mulan fanfic that I thought was quite good! It's a mix of the Disney flick and the original Ballad of Mulan.

There is some violence, because of course there is it is taking the fact of someone going to war seriously. Still, it goes into what if the main character was indeed trans and then how long an actual war would take.

Well, I'm not doing a great job with Finishing then. Oh well. XD

A friend helped me make real decks for everyone in Duelist Kingdom, so I'm good on that front. It's still hard work to make it all something interesting to read. But I've gotten some compliments on my writing of duels so far, so it's worth the effort to put into it!

Link to Domaystic coming right up!

Oh shit. Finish What You Started? When was that starting? When is it ending? I've forgotten everything.

I'm so deep in the HH/HB brainrot. Perhaps it is because I'm not wanting to write a duel, but I'm in Duelist Kingdom and the first duel is finally starting. There is so much of this story I want to write, but why so much Duel Monsters? No wonder both the manga and the anime made up whatever they wanted when it came to the game. It's easier than writing consistent rules.

I'm preparing for Domaystic in the meanwhile. I like having a lot of those prompts at least prepared so I can post daily in May. Hopefully I'll manage with it.

~~Can't believe you are doing more Squirrel Stapler.~~

Yeah, there really is nothing like the Neverhood OST either.

I'm glad I got the whole experience in my life before I really knew anything about Western religion or the creator. I just got to enjoy the game as a child would. With some help from smarter people around me. XD

Oh, yes. This was also a game of my childhood. I first played it when I was six, maybe? Didn't get very far, because I never thought to go back to the place the Weasel popped out of for that final button to get out of the first area. I think I was eight when my older sib and I finally completed it. This was before I had access to the internet, so we called up the family member who had given it to us for hints when we finally put our nose to the grindstone to get it done.

In retrospect, the help we needed was ridiculous and somehow we figured out the harder puzzles with less issues. (Probably not me. My sib is better at those things than I am.)

I also didn't know anything about the biblical overtones, because I wasn't raised with religion. It was just nutty and unique. Yet I still listen to the Neverhood OST and quote Willie Trombone's tapes.

I remember being scared of the first person sections. I genuinely expected something to pop out. XD

Today I read the news.

...mentally and emotionally hurting counts too, right?

Whether people like his videos or not is irrelevant. He has done a lot for lots of causes and he genuinely appears to wish everyone the best. It isn't a stunt. Over the years he's put his actions where his words are to prove that he cares.

I don't watch him as much as I used to, but whenever I do or hear something about him, that much hasn't changed.
