CQL/The Untamed. Wangxian. Art and occasionally fic. A discourse and current events free space: I curate my online experience ruthlessly. alightbuthappypen on tumblr and dreamwidth too.
Spent most of yesterday evening and this morning rereading the amnesia curse wip. It's not only the longest but also I think the yearningest thing I've ever written.
Worried by how much I like it though, like maybe that means it's actually rubbish

Of course after it's finally posted I feel a lot better about the exchange fic, and now have the agony of not being able to promote it until creator reveals next week 😩

To describe their emotions so vividly, to "feel" every one of their kisses - that's a true talent!
I love this #WangXian fic so much!
There's an unfinished 2nd part, too!🥹💙❤️

Cannot believe I managed to get the exchange fic to a point where I don't feel completely mortified about posting it. I struggled with it so much and I think it shows but I DID IT

Dealing with my work related anger issues bydrafting and then deleting emails along the lines of "dear Mr Xx, fuck off. Come back with a response not obviously generated by chatGPT and I might consider it worth my time."

Worried I may have fretted myself into a cold, bevause my family's visiting this weekend and I really, really don't want to get sick. Is this scratchy throat psychosomatic, it's just too early to tell

While I work on a current exchange thing how about reposting this past exchange thing, still possibly the most fun I've had on a piece of fanart (the exchange theme was 'close quarters', and the prompt was 'tied together') #wangxian

Periodically remember this moment of total naivety, 16 April 2020, 20 episodes into cql "probably not going to be fannish about this one fellas, I think it'll be fine"

It's been a while since my neighbour (not that one, the other one) has played his music obnoxiously loud but today, the day I am truly hanging onto sanity by my fingernails, is his day

I have about 3000 pressing deadlines, both work and personal, so it's become absolutely essential to my brain that I pick up non-urgent tasks I've been putting off for months RIGHT NOW. THIS VERY SECOND

I did ultimately invest in a vpn. I'm in Denmark most of the time now, and keep getting jumpscared by the computer clock saying it's an hour later than it actually is

I always forget to turn the vpn on when checking bsky, and it's not like I'm *only* here for nsfw but frankly it was a significant factor, and "oh just get a vpn to have on all the time" but I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. I'm a fucking adult, who also doesn't want my government ID attached to my fandom name

Some mornings you just Know it has to be a mental health day. Hopefully losing one day of work now will prevent the far more disruptive full nervous breakdown in the near future

Feeling really low today for several very specific reasons that I can't in any way fix. Wait, I know what can fix this: wine
