vivienThis week of sucky home repairs threw me off my writing practice. I even had to borrow a friend's mom just to cry to, because I needed a mom! When your home doesn't feel comfortable or safe, it really makes it hard to relax there. My bedroom, at least, is a place that I feel pretty safe in - there have been no leaks there. I needed to get out today, so I spent most of today watching Abbott Elementary at friends' house, and that was healing.
So I'm catching up with the Snowflake Challenge and this is the longest I've made it through any of these for the last several years! Yay!
Challenge #8: Talk about a current fannish project (fic, art, vid, crochet, funko pop village) (that you are creating or enjoying)
I'm low on fannish endeavors right now. With sorting and packing, I've actually been deciding on letting a lot of fannish things go. Nothing that I still love or have a long connection with, but there are many things that someone else might enjoy more than me, and I'm good with letting them go. I did sign up for a Wangxian exchange based on a song prompt that the receiver sends out. I haven't written for The Untamed... and I haven't written anything but work and letters and journal entries for... years. So that's terrifying.
Challenge #9: Rec Us Your Newest Thing.
It's not super fannish, but I adore The Quiz Lady on Hulu. It stars Awkafina and Sandra Oh (in a VERY different kind of role), and it's funny and endearing while being extremely quirky. The supporting cast is impeccable. I've watched it twice because it makes me happy.
Challenge #10: Five Things! The five things are totally up to you.
Five Fannish Things from the Past Year (or so) That Make Me Happy (in no particular order)
1. Renfield (gross and dumb, but joyfully fun - plus pretty pretty Nicholas Hoult)
2. Awkafina's Nora from Queens
3. School Spirits (Season 1 on... Peacock? Or Paramount?)
4. Picard season 2
5. Grady Hendrix books - I've read his first four and latest, and I really like them.
