ao3 kudos emails are a beautiful reminder of how fandom is so everlasting. like, someone might read smth i wrote over a decade ago, rejoicing in a new fandom for the very first time, & i may have forgotten that singular joy, but someone will follow in my footsteps. and it's right there in my inbox.

My first time having a panic attack at work and fuck that really sucked. I would have been stuck there overnight if he hadn't picked up the phone. 😭

My keys, my phone, my purse, my SHOES and COAT. Security called the director, the manager, the supervisor, and NONE of them answered their phone except for the electrician. Like omg that man deserves a raise. He drove over half an hour to come help me and then drove me home.

Rant—

Today was literally the worst day ever. I forgot the women's locker room at work locks behind you, and I stepped out to put my radio away... and it locked behind me. I was barefoot, and everything was now behind a locked door and I was the last one on shift, and security didn't have the key.

Looking at my old fics that I wrote during my Tokio Hotel and Cinema Bizarre obsession from my early teens gives me massive cringe 🙈

Some of my Twilight fics may be salvagable, but omg, when I compare my writing now to back then, it makes me so happy. 😂

g, 1k words

#ffxv #ffxvfic #seaofolivesoriginal

a screenshot of the fic's listing in ao3, featuring its title, author, fandom, tags and warnings, summary/excerpt and metrics at the bottom.

the title is "power of love" and the author is "seaofolives". the summary/excerpt is:

“On second thought,” Ignis’ sigh is much louder, thanks to their present accommodations, “I think this isn’t one of my more brilliant ideas.”

“Should’ve maybe considered a different King, huh?”

“All tombs are built from the same blueprint,” Ignis points out, impatience lacing his helpful remark. “Well, not all tombs… there’s one-hundred-and-thirteen of them, after all. It would be impossible for just the one blueprint to suffice for every terrain and era. But perhaps I should have considered that their primary purpose is to honor the dead, and not to house two members of the living.”

That makes Gladio laugh.

"OpenAI announced a plan to build AI data centers consuming up to 10 gigawatts of power, with additional projects totaling 17 gigawatts. 17 gigawatts is like powering both Switzerland and Portugal together.”

Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

tired💤 #art #ffxv

Fanart of Noctis from FFXV. He is sitting slumped in a throne seat. The throne is a desaturated blue, with the frame being a gray-green color. His legs are crossed and hanging over the arm of the chair. He's leaning on his head on one hand with his other resting over his stomach. He's looking to the right with a bored expression. The background is made up of light purple-blue swirls over a pale blue base. There are flowers in the upper right corner, two flowers in the bottom right corner with a few petals and two flowers in the bottom right corner.

Just got back from Kira's 1st vet check-up since her surgery.

She has to be on medication for the rest of her life for hyperthyroidism, but her bloodwork came back normal so it's just to keep it within normal range. I am so relieved I could cry! 😭❤️

She was so good at the vet today too! Super calm!
