cinderlite: Snape from Harry Potter (Snape)
A week has come and gone with not much to show for it. I should have rationed everything I had to speak about instead of posting in sets of three a day until I ran out of topics, lol, but I was afraid I'd forget what I wanted to post about. Now I have a whole lot of nothing because not much happens in my life -- which, I suppose, is a good thing. I'd rather a boring life than one that was full of ups and downs. Especially if they're more downs than ups!

I asked Moxie to help me clean the apartment (it's a disaster) before they leave for their trip back to their family home early next month. They said sure, and I'm grateful because my friend Jess is coming to visit shortly after they leave to stay with me for four days. It'll be fun to see her, since it's been like a year since I last got a chance to visit with her in person. I really ought to hang out with Jess IRL more often. It's going to take a lot of elbow grease to get the apartment into decent shape again, but it'll be easier with two people. It's definitely going to suck, though, for me with my back and Moxie with their bodily pains as well.

I can't wait for Jess to be here! Hopefully we'll watch a little of the new Fallout TV show together. I plan to watch the whole thing with them before they leave, and it shouldn't be too hard considering it's only eight episodes long. Speaking of, I've seen four of those eight episodes so far, and it's amazing. I'm loving how much they've made the show feel precisely like the game. It's not just the music, but the atmosphere, the way they talk, and the brutality of the wasteland. I've also watched more people react to it than I've replayed the game/s lately. I tried to mod Fallout: New Vegas so I could play it, but that proved too difficult. No game needs four mod managers! 

Fallout 4 was a lot easier, however. My problem with it, though, is the same as last time: the settlements. I struggle with them so much! I installed a mod so the settlements will manage themselves without me, but it's so complicated and takes so much learning that I've been putting it off (and now my settlement happiness is at 11%). So now I'm just avoiding playing the game because I don't want to deal with it. DX

I forgot to take my meds yesterday, which resulted in me sleeping for like 16-17 hours that day. I woke up at 3:30am this morning and only got out of bed and stopped sleeping because my body was protesting so much. My back is so sore because of it. So today is going to be a long, sleepy day... Wish me good luck in dealing with it today! Ta!

Okay, okay, this will be my last post for the day! I just wanted to quickly talk about this new game that just came out yesterday in case I'm the only one that knows about it right now.

It's called Spirit City: Lofi Sessions, and it's a game about productivity. You get to create an avatar and dress them up. Similarly, you get to decorate the room your character resides in for the productivity sessions. There's a lot of choices for décor, including different colors. I made my room mostly pink because I eat that shit up. :3 You also get to find and vibe with cute, little spirits! Half the fun of the game/application is discovering the right combination to find them. It requires simple things like what activity your avatar is doing, where, the time of day in the room, and the sounds you're listening to (like a thunderstorm, the forest, a fireplace, etc).

This doesn't even touch on the journal that's a part of the program. It also utilizies pomodoro timer to help you be productive, while taking necessary breaks so you don't overwork yourself and burn out. You can set up little habits and a to-do list! There's also some smooth Lofi music playing, though you have the ability to pause or mute that should you want to.

It's been a lot of fun to play the game, and be productive at the same time. I just thought maybe other people would find it helpful like I did! It's about $10 right now (it's on sale), so it's not an absurdly expensive game or anything like that.

If you get it, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, that's fine too! I just wanted to make people aware of it. :D

Allow me to present the Homestuck fic I was given for my [community profile] fandomtrumpshate bid. I got it late last year, and it's absolutely amazing. I want to get the word out to everyone possible because it deserves as much attention as it can get! It's brilliant, in character, hilarious, and exactly what I asked for. Who doesn't like pesterlogs and hanahaki disease? It's both funny as hell and angsty, in turns. I couldn't ask from anything better. I adore it.

Title: what shall i tell you of migrations
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] crownlessliestheking/quixxotique 
Ship: Alpha Dave/Dirk
Tags: Underage, Epistolary, Hanahaki Disease, Chronic Illness, Time Skips, Getting Together, Breaking Up, Reconciliation, One (1) Instance of Cybersex, Angst with a Happy Ending, Slow Burn, Family to Lovers to Exes to Family to Lovers....or as one other fic called it falafel, Miscommunication
Word Count: 55,846
Summary: This time when he wakes, it’s with an ache in his chest and bone-deep knowledge of why, exactly there’s a flower on his pillow, whole and glistening with mucus and spit. It’s a long, sinuous thing in shades of red and orange, the type of flower that looks like it should be torn from a cluster instead. The taste it’s left in his mouth is fresh, green like a world he’s got a long, long way to go until he sees.

If you enjoy Homestuck, particularly Stridercest, I beg you to give it a chance and please go read it! It's absolutely worth your time. It's delightful. ♥

Thank you, again, to Quixxotique! You were a delight to work with from the very beginning. I had a great time chatting with you about what I was looking for, and you absolutely produced ideal Gold content. I am/was stunned into speechlessness with how gorgeous this fic is. Thank you so much!

NOTE: The above link to the author's profile is inaccurate. It links to their main fic profile, instead of to their Homestuck pseudonym. You can find the proper pseudonym here!

Following up on that old D&D post from like 6 or so months ago, our new homebrew Homestuck campaign has just started! 

We've only had a few sessions of it thus far, but it's been incredibly fun. I've developed Opal and Remi a lot since their initial conception, and it's really beginning to pay off. Opal is a bully character, but she's growing rapidly and developing into a better person based on the experiences happening to her. I think some part of her will always be kind of mean, tbh, but she won't be downright cruel for long. It's ironic that I like her so much and dislike Vriska so much, but I think you're always kind of biased when they're your specific characters.

My partner drew a short animatic based on the characters from the campaign for a Sleeping At Last song. It's gorgeous, and I love it. The video is the perfect introduction to these characters and I can't wait to see where everything develops. If you want to watch it, it's on youtube and available to be seen. You can find it right here, if you're curious. Opal is the long-haired red head (see my icon) near the end, and Remi the blonde girl from one of the last panels.

I generally struggle while playing D&D because of my ADHD and constant understimulation, but I've been doing a lot better recently. I've got a journal to write notes in when things get boring and, barring that, a coloring book to keep me busy while I listen to what's going on. It's an extremely effective way of keeping myself from letting my mind stray too far while I'm playing.

What about any of you that play D&D? Do you have this problem? What do you do to occupy your down time?

I want to make a D&D Character journal, but it's a lot of work! It seems like a lot of fun, though, so I'm really excited about the prospect of it.

So, I've written a few things since the last time I was active on DW. I might as well advertise one of them (from my main account) a little. I'll also need to update my fic list as well after I finish posting this! I'd like everything to be up to date. It's a shame I can't post stuff from my Dead Dove account here too... maybe one day, but for now, I'm far too paranoid about linking my usernames together. RIP me, I suppose!

Title: Breaking Barriers
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] Cinderlite 
Relationship: Akechi Goro/Kurusu Akira/Sakura Futaba
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 6,286
Content/Warnings: triad/threesome, background polycule (the Phantom Thieves), new game plus, cunnilingus, biting, hickies, double vaginal penetration, a fight for dominance
Summary: “Ah,” Goro says with sudden realization, “So that’s why you’ve been so intent about,” he flicks a wrist as if to entail the all of it, “bonding.” Goro looks at Akira accusingly. “How long have you been planning this?” Akira shakes his head, and Goro presses his lips together, stalking across the room toward Futaba, who looks like she suddenly wants to turn and run back up the stairs.

Notes: This is a New Game Plus fic, wherein Akira and the other Phantom Thieves are a polycule (in the background of it, anyway) and are focusing on keeping Akechi alive and inducting him into their group. This fic is mostly about Futaba and Goro bantering with a side of Akira and a lot of horniness + a lot of smut! Please note that I got the Featherman names from the Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight game!

I haven't posted in a long time. In like six months, which is like... woof! That's a long time to be absent. Yikes!

I don't even have a good excuse, if I'm being honest. I just didn't have the spoons/energy to catch up on DW, so I avoided the site until I finally did have them, which is now. I'm going to try and be more consistent about posting, if only because journaling is a healthy habit and a great way for me to look back on the years and remember what I was doing. I really need to do that!! 

SO, I'M BACK!! 

I'm afraid to check and see if all my old friends on here have unfriended me or not. I wouldn't blame them if they had. I was inactive for a very long time! I suppose, if they have, I can just try and make new friends. That would be good as well! 

As a head's up, there's probably going to be a small flurry of posts to update everyone about what's going on in my life right now. So keep an eye out for that, and if I do still have some friend's out there who are reading this, then... don't feel obligated to respond to every post I make! That's a good way to lose spoons, and put yourself in the doghouse.

Anyway, thanks for reading!
