I got deep into video games in recent years, with my biggest addiction going to Genshin Impact. I do try to pull away because of how many hours I can dump into the game. I skipped a year of play my second year into the game, then some months here and there. My most recent sabbatical was just after the 5.3 update at the end of 2024 (Okay, I did participate in the Lantern Rite this year! But I missed the final mission). I got in heavy when Natlan came out, so I guess I hit a bit of a burnout. I was also getting frustrated that my pulls were ass after ass. Sometimes I have great luck with my pulls, like when I pulled both Chiori and Itto during their shared banner run, back to back. But I pulled a Jean during a banner she had no business being on and I think that was what set in motion my last burnout. (I love Jean, as a character, but I have Kazuha so she's somewhat useless to me.)
The point of this post is that I stumbled across the new video for the summer event and I NEED to play. Woe unto me.

I love "rare" exchanges, so I'm really happy that the timing of this exchange finally lined up for me. As always, this letter is meant for inspiration purposes only - if you already have something in mind for one of this ships, please go for it! I'm sure I'll love whatever you create. ♥

It was 31°C here yesterday. It's 31°C again today. It's too much! I have a rotten barometric-pressure headache hanging around and next to no appetite for actual food. Argh. Rain predicted Sunday afternoon, I hope it'll break the heatwave a little. I don't tolerate these well at all, I'm fed up of people in the media always insisting on how "gorgeous" it is when the weather is this hot. It is not! (And my friend got sunburned when they spent less than 10 minutes outside, a couple of days ago! SMH)
glinda Jul. 7th, 2025 01:37 pmSo I’m hideously behind on my writing target for the year - even by the standard I was working to last year of having written more at the end of each month than I had the previous year I’m behind - so when I saw that nafs was hosting write every day this month I decided that was probably exactly what I needed. And apparently I was correct? Most days I’ve only written a couple of hundred words but it’s adding up and in some cases it turned out that actually that half written draft article/post I had lurking actually only needed 240 words in the right places to be finished. Very satisfying.
And uh, on Friday I opened my prompt file and stuck its associated playlists on and umm, wrote like 600 words of a fic. I’ve been picking away at it over the weekend and, while it’s not my best work I don’t think it’s terrible. (One of my re-watches the other month was Ocean’s Eight and apparently I had a bunch of Daphne Kluger feelings lurking. The original prompt for this fic was Casual by Chappel Roan but it kinda drifted.) So yeah, first finished fic in almost exactly two years, go me.

The thing no one tells you, is that it’s kinda hard to make new friends in your 30s. (Daphne Kluger would far rather plan a heist.)

jennaria Jul. 6th, 2025 04:47 pmIn the event that any of y'all were worried.
Second of all: Wife and I went to see the live-action HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, which was fun, but did not...do anything? With live action, to differentiate itself from the cartoon? If you're gonna make a live-action remake - heck, if you're gonna do a remake at all - then there should be a reason for it that's not 'look at my shot-for-shot re-creation,' at least in my opinion. I still enjoyed the movie, not least because we went to an indy filmhouse that spent the half-hour ahead of the film doing an incomplete survey of dragons in movies and TV, rather than an assortment of advertisements, but I feel a little guilty for the enjoyment.
Third of all I ran headlong into writer's block on one of the stories I was writing. Boo, I say, and Boo again. I have vague ideas as to how to get myself unstuck, but only vague ones. Meanwhile I shall go off and world-build on my gloriously silly NaNoWriMo prompt.
(Fourth of all, does anyone know how to force wipe an old HP computer that won't give you the Settings menu? For relative amounts of old - I think it's still Windows 10. Wife says I'm safe to just give it the old heave-ho, but I don't trust there isn't financial information on it somewhere.)
