The Shenanijiang Rambling On About Random Stuff - Tumblr Posts
My wife has presented me an opportunity to write hilarious miscommunication tonight. So, I am taking a break from the Mingxian prompts I been working on to write the most ridiculously smutty-sounding fic that takes place in a community center. I'll probably have it done tomorrow or something. So.... There is that I guess?
Once again caught in the trap of one minor detail holding up everything. I love stories that basically write themselves. The detail that I got hung up on was academic hierarchy lol. Because I never paid any attention in college. I've blocked most of my brief stint in college out. My mom still thinks I'll regret dropping out, but I'm like thank the heavens I gave up. 😆 sorry, not sorry, mom. Anyway. I'm almost done with a humorous one shot about a meet-cute for Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian.
Whose got 2 thumbs and just loaded 7k words, about half of which is smut to Ao3 and is now hunkering down? This pal!
Editing this second chapter of a fic I am working on and I am glad I am. I see 100 month celebration and I am like... There is something wrong with this but I am under caffeinated and anxious enough to take 5 minutes to figure it out. 100 month celebration is somewhere in the ten month range? I think.... lol let's try 100 day celebration instead.
Ahhhh my arms hurt so much! I have been typing so much, and we went swimming for 2 hours today as a family. It was fun but now everything hurts. How am I supposed to listen to the muse when my arthritis is acting up and my muscles are sore from the exercise?
Sometimes I have insomnia. Kinda surprised that this is going to be one of those times.
Trying to build habits is hard when it's something I don't want to do. I want the rewards. So I'll do it. But it sucks. Exercise is the habit.
This is the season of plague in our house. Wish me luck. Tomorrow I'm taking my younger child to the doctor. I've had a headache for days. I'm ready to feel better. We're all ready to feel better.
Time to see if the muses favor me. If they do I will complete a fic. If not.. I will still have written something.
Writing or drawing, writing or drawing... Hmm. I am officially getting sick and need to distract myself from my symptoms. Took the youngest to the doctor, they did some tests. It's not these 4 things. Good luck. Story of my life.
Whatever I'm sick with is wild. Sore throat hardly any energy, but I can think? Usually when I'm sick the ability to form sentences is one of the first things to go.
Trying to decide if I should share the outfits that inspire my baby fits in To Live in Satisfaction. Cause I love finding clothes for characters to wear. XD
When I have committed not to start any new fics so I am posting random stuff on tumblr while a thought percolates in my mind:
To help with my desire to learn to read Chinese I am playing with the extension called toucan which turns random words on a webpage into whatever language you set it to. So far it has been fun and hilarious to see the words it picks. I am going to be so fluent for words like tag and work-in-progress 🤣
A brief look into my household. Me: The lime must come in. My Wife: I shall fetch the lime!
It's supposed to be down in the 40s tonight. The potted lime plant needs to come in, so it doesn't die. But we both felt so faaaanceh.
Saw an Ao3 tag " Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian is a Manic Pixie Dead Boy" and read that to my wife. She said "So Dead Boy Detectives Crossover". And now... I think that may happen soon.
I am suddenly reminded of the best advice I ever heard for drawing realistic noses. Draw a dick on the person's face. That's it... I mean then you refine it into a nose, but boy did that change my perspective on noses.
There were a couple of words that I guessed at.
I got the Top 4.47% on this English Vocabulary test
you guys realize that by liking and reblogging my posts you are only encouraging me to continue my posting behavior? i hope you are ready to face the consequences of your actions.
Today I woke up feeling like I had a hangover. I did not drink alcohol or partake of an edible last night. Which means... I am too old to get four hours of sleep at this point in my life. Do I regret my life choices? Nope. I enjoyed the conversation I was having the story I was working on. Am I going to do it again? Not any time soon.
