READ

Some more Iron Bull/Dorian, most notably Pas de Deux by CandidCantrix, which is 4k of absolutely lovely Iron Bull POV.

( Some uncomfortable underage fic... )

And, at jmtorres' recommendation, the incredible Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach by Nnm, which is a novel length Good Omens fic from the point of view of Crowley's therapist. I always want my favorite characters to get therapy, honestly, but I never expected to find a fic that did such an amazing job at it. I'm on the second to last chapter as I write this, but I feel confident recommending it anyway.

GAMED

Lily's Garden and StarCraft II as before, but... I'm feeling awfully conflicted about the latter since learning yesterday that Blizzard stripped a player of his prize money -- and banned him from competing for a year -- when he declared his support for the Hong Kong protestors. I hope that after Blizzard assesses the situation, they reverse their decision and apologize to Blitzchung.

WATCHED

The second half of The Good Place's season premiere, which just makes me even more excited for the rest of the final season. I love this show so much, okay.

Have you ever found yourself with just enough of a thing that you felt you ought to do something with it, but too little of it for anything you could think of to do? That seems to be where I am with energy at the moment. I wanted to start this paragraph with a concrete comparison -- one involving food preparation, maybe -- but I couldn't manage to think of one. You see what I mean.

It's a frustrating situation, but possibly a good one, if it means that I'm returning to the world of people who can occasionally do things. Because I do like to do things, occasionally; I tend to feel much happier about life when I do.

In the meantime, have some disorganized and spoilery and largely cranky thoughts about recent television. (Content note for the Almost Human one: I start out by saying there's an abusive relationship at the heart of the show, and I absolutely mean it.)
