When you're supposed to be working on one fic but a ton of scenes and ideas and snippets for another are taking over your brain...

Xmas Post Facto, Chapter 40

Ren awoke, finding himself laying in the dark, presumably staring up at the ceiling. His head throbbed. He let out a weak groan. The lack of light was probably a good thing as he was having enough trouble opening his eyes as it was.

Behold my F2P A1 Chord. #P5X #Persona5X

Machinami stood with her arms tightly crossed, right index finger rapidly tapping against her left arm. Her right foot was fidgeting similarly. She was frowning as her eyes moved over the gallery in front of her.

I did it. I managed to get past the ghosts and hit the switch! I'm fairly proud of how well I dodged despite all the fear. Too bad no one could see some of my more impressive paw-work.

Less impressively... apparently my squeaks of terror could be heard even through the vent...

It took Ren a few moments to realize he was in his bed, awake, in the dark. Usually when Lavenza summoned him, he didn’t wake until morning.

Ren's expression here!!! Looking up at her like that I just!!!!

“So how long have you been seeing her?” Ann was leaning over the railing, looking out over the platforms near the entrance of the Palace.

'i wanna be yours'

“You were supposed to be looking after Futaba.” Sojiro held Morgana up so he could look him in the eyes. Ren wondered if a similar ‘conversation’ had taken place right before Futaba left for Switzerland.

“He was at least smart enough to acknowledge Ryuji’s form after the fact, even if he did initially misjudge him.” Emi was recounting an incident at...

Ren stared into his display, not actually reading the documents he had opened several minutes prior. They hadn’t even spent that much time in the Metaverse the evening before and yet he found his focus waning.

Feels like an easy-to-make oversight that doesn't hurt playability---understandable on their development cycle but amusing nonetheless.

Though, it is fodder for some "What was really going on upstairs that Makoto was hiding?" fic! 😂

Haru spun, her axe sweeping out a circle around her and knocking back the shadows in front of them. An outside observer might think the momentum of the axe was dragging Haru along with it, but Makoto knew better. That appearance...

The last time this happened to me, when it was a more overt TOS violation with mention of selling stuff to me, I seem to remember the account vanished for a time as well, though checking again I see it still has a profile page.

Huh, I just noticed they didn't actually remove the AO3 account, though they automatically vanished the comment (doesn't even show as deleted). They account's profile description is now blank though it didn't link to an external site. (The account was created the day before they left the comment.)

I got a scammer comment on AO3 that was just towing the TOS line by being vague in trying to get me off-site. I wasn't sure how to report given the TOS. I guess someone did as it's gone now. I didn't delete to not destroy evidence but maybe I should've. Hope they make a post on how to report these.

“Oh, you’re home.” Tao-san stepped out from the kitchen, skimmer in hand. A bandana was tied over her hair, coming together at the nape of her neck to allow room for her ponytail.

Oooh this is a really interesting composition. Also, the posing feels really natural here.

I was just being silly, but if I did the Height and Width under options seems to be the control for changing the number and I'd just end up with a top 10.

I got to 12 games and then there was a big fall off... do I just add every game with a bulbasaur in it to fill things out? 🌱
