So when I said, "the end of the season I'll have enough comp points for Juno's galactic", what I really meant was, "at the start of week four". I have simply been playing too much stadium by myself as well as with my duo woops. I made it to contender for dps (playing Ashe ofc), and whilst figuring out a D.Va build successfully made it into and skyrocketed through novice on tank very quickly. I used some of the suggested builds whilst also cooking with my own know-how of what is invaluable and it paid off.

I'm still one tricking Juno for support though, and I successfully got to pro 4!! The ranks are rookie, novice, contender, elite, then pro with five divisions in each, so kind of significant progress. Three more divisions and I'll be in all star and receive a terribly ugly skin for my efforts. Today the server full kicked me and despite having to do a full console restart, fortunately I was back before people left and we managed to turn it around and reverse sweep 4-3 😭😭 Juno build good.

BUT, GALACTIC TIME.




It looks sooooo nice with her Celestial skin; some of the space themed skins have galaxy textures that are static, like a fixed point of space, no matter how the model moves or rotates, and this one is the same. It matches perfectly because it's almost identically coloured, it's just a little more blue.



Bonus evil magical girl sharkies because I still love this select animation too. Dokiwatch you'll always be famous.

My body has been very bleh about food but has allowed me to go to bed much more reasonably than say, 8am, so now, hopefully zzz. More furniture assembly courtesy of my dad on Monday so I need a little energy for it.

i've been sleeping terribly, so i'm all discombobulated right now. let's have a quick post.

writing is continuing; i am at 120/180 days for my [community profile] getyourwordsout goal, with a streak of 102 consecutive days. i've been trying to work on fic, but it keeps not happening... at least i've been able to write goopy oc stuff.

didn't get to play much trails in the sky the 3rd this past week; i finished chapter 1 last night so i have a good idea of the game's cadence, but finding time to progress has been tricky. i do like it so far, but it's definitely a different game from FC and SC so it's taking time to get used to. i'll probably make liveblog posts once i get a little further in.

other than that, not a whole lot happening. it's mogtome season in ff14, which means i'm spending a lot of time in the gold saucer doing GATEs. also a little bit of fishing, which has been nice. i like ocean fishing as a chill activity now and then.

also, i managed to start reading a book today, to try and get out of my reading slump. we'll see how that goes. (every time i look at my reading goal for the year i wince, though. there's no way i'm hitting that many books this year, unfortunately.)

See title... Estelline fic is requiring a lot more work than I believed it would as I continue to trim on every pass, and whilst I do of course still love it, I desperately want to be done with it so I can go back to writing about ouihaw... this is what happens when you finish Heavensward and vaguely start Stormblood and that's no longer the vibe you're looking for. I've also just been struggling with words and worth in general - I probably need a break, but I feel like I'm constantly having a break when there's days I can't write and I have to write so I don't go crazy!! It's tough. The first five chapters/27k is up, though. C6 and C7 are finalised, C8 is next.

In my "I miss my girls" state, I opened up the sims 4 after not doing so since last December and spent thirteen hours over last weekend moving my ouihaw yeehaw ranch save from a 30x20 lot to a 64x64 lot and instead of building from scratch, used the pre-existing blueprint to make each room ever so slightly bigger, so it keeps the cozy country vibes but it's not as pokey and the daughters have actual individual rooms now. And the horsies have a paddock and space to roam 🥹 I do not recommend building like this it was a nightmare, although it was worth it. I'll take some screenshots of the new and improved house next time I play.

And in the trifecta of "I MISS ASHE TAILS I MISS HER A LOT" let's talk about my Ashe stadium build.

For a girl who was so against stadium pre-launch I sure do talk about it a lot... )

bad brain day, so i will be brief.

  • have managed to work on fic for the first time in months and months. unfortunately what i need to do is revision, which i have always struggled with, but i'll do my best because i really want this fic done and out already. i wrote the first draft in 2023 and it's been languishing since... i gotta just get it done. (it is the endwalker installment of my wolgraha fic series.)
  • started trails in the sky the 3rd, but haven't gotten very far in yet.
  • no progress on site stuff yet. maybe this week? we'll see.

onwards.
