all ingredients having been acquired and today being a day the housemate with actual upper body strength is available for ingredient prep assistance, tonight dinner is onsen katsudon (a Yuri!!! on Ice fanwork)

it would also be nice if I could make wipbigbang words happen but it is not part of today's plan

[wyld_dandelyon]

Yay for food!

[alexseanchai]

so tasty

so so much work, ugh, next time my housemates are doing more of it so I don't end up so flomp after

[mekare]

Oh that looks delicious,

[alexseanchai]

it really really was!

all gone 😭

[cindybug]

Oh, I love fanwork recipes; that looks really tasty!

Yesterday, I made some pocket-sized corn bags to use as ice packs after my biopsy on Wednesday. They work reasonably well, IMO.

I also wrote a short, super meta Miraculous Ladybug fic for end_otw_racism's call to action. I am not expecting it to get a lot of attention.

[wyld_dandelyon]

Sounds like good things!

[soc_puppet]

Thanks! I'm pleased with how the corn sacks turned out, and while the reception to the fic isn't quite what I hoped it would be, I am able to remind myself that I didn't write it for the reception, so. Yes, good things.

[alexseanchai]

🙂

[mekare]

Yay for fic and for supporting the action!

[soc_puppet]

Yes indeed! As I said in the comments on AO3, it's a silly fic about serious stuff, but sometimes a bit of silly can help the serious stick better. And it's important to me to support this, because it's important period.

Slow progress is still progress

I woke up early enough to chat and art with friends (over discord) and made progress on the painting.

This is a "detail" meaning the image covers about half of the canvas, the lower left corner.

pretty!

Oh, how lovely! I'm getting Fantasia vibes here.

[wyld_dandelyon]

I wasn't thinking about Fantasia, but the comparison is a wonderful compliment. Thank you!

Re: Slow progress is still progress

[mekare]

That looks really cool! Are you planning on posting it to art when it‘s finished?

Re: Slow progress is still progress

[cindybug]

How wonderful! I love the colours, and the brushwork.

[silvercat17]

I've basically finished the rainbowfic / rainbowlists revamp! Aside from making some art and a couple little things I'm finally done!

I made SO MANY images, y'all

[wyld_dandelyon]

That's a lot of work!

[silvercat17]

I enjoy it, but I'm glad I'm done and can move on

[alexseanchai]

🎊🎺🎉

[silvercat17]

Thanks!

[mekare]

Well done!

[silvercat17]

Thank you!

[cindybug]

🎉🎉🎉

Both communities look stunning. You've done a splendid job.

[silvercat17]

Thank you!

trying to get my crap together to drive to PA tomorrow because i'm flying out from there to NM for a week of work convention/workshops

[dianec42]

That sounds super stressful! I hope you made it okay.

[cornerofmadness]

I did thank you

[alexseanchai]

🧸

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. Made it to PA

[dianec42]

Ooh, nap! I created one of those yesterday afternoon, with help from one of the cats.

I am rearranging stuff and making lists. I did unpack one entire box this weekend so that was nice. Slowly but surely things are at least making their way into the correct rooms.

One day soon I expect I shall snap and ask Mr Diane to figure out where all these damn art objects can go other than in the craft room. Then I'll have space for the ironing board and the sewing fun can begin. (Also then the re-rearranging phase can begin, as I start actually using stuff!)

[alexseanchai]

🎉

[mekare]

This edition is apt because I‘ve been napping a lot. I had high hopes for this long weekend, but alas no art has happened. I did write up some posts for my journal though, so that‘s something.

[silvercat17]

Sometimes you just need a nap

[mekare]

Apparently I need one every day currently.

[silvercat17]

Me too. I blame the weather

[cindybug]

Seconded; sometimes you just need a nap.

[mekare]

Thanks.

[cindybug]

I think I may have burned myself out a bit last week. I don't think I'm going to push myself to edit anything this week (which was my original plan): I'm going to focus on drafting and cheerleading instead. There's also a manga I want to re-read so I may do that.

[mekare]

Sounds like a good plan.

[fenicedautun]

I went to Celebrations of Needlework and bought things, mostly things that can be made into Xmas ornaments (I think I'm set for 7 ornaments to be made, which should take me a few years). But it was good to go see things in person

[silvercat17]

Sounds fun!
