i wanna be part of the human race

Quick pimp post for threewordapocalypsefest! Come make some fanworks destroying the world with me <3

I watched Andor for the first time, finally, and now I'm back on my Star Wars bullshit.

It was really good. I love when we get fleshed out characters from another movie or show, so that was up my alley. Tell me why, though, I just want to see Cassian and Leia meet up and have adventures together? And, y'know, kiss. Holding out a dim hope that Leia will be a character in s2. She would be getting involved in the rebellion at this point for sure. Anyway, I've fallen down that particular AO3 rabbit hole for this pairing.

I started watching The Mandalorian after finishing Andor. I heard not so great things about the most recent season, but I'll push through. (See previous comment about being on my SW bullshit.) Here for Pedro Pascal and Grogu, who reminds me of one of my cats. <3

And I have had Across the Stars (Anakin and Padme's love theme) stuck in my head for literal days. It's probably one of my favorite melodies from the whole franchise.

I first did this challenge a year and a half ago, when I wrote the first AO3 fic for Lake (video game), which now has another fic for it (I'm so proud!).

I've already started my fic for my new subject, a mobile game which I was kind of surprised had nothing yet, but I only discovered that was the case because I went looking for fic, haha. I managed to write 1900 words today, which was exciting.

I've been obsessively listening to the track 'Kids' from the Stranger Things soundtrack today. I love all of the ST soundtrack, but this song is especially nostalgic in such a specific way. I love it and I can't wait for the last season, though I will miss this show.

marchmetamatterschallenge is happening soon and sounds interesting!

I made a few True Detective: Night Country icons over here. I'm currently working on screencapping the show to get some caps up onto capshare soon. I finished the season last night; no spoilers, but, it was so good and I loved it. And I think I will love Jodie Foster until the day I die.

Today I went to the Lush store to get some shower gels (which I am addicted to), and Lush is inside the mall, which was extraordinarily crowded for a Monday morning and was a complete sensory nightmare. But I got my shower gels (Dirty Springwash is my MUST HAVE, and I also got Happy Hippy, which I've never gotten before, but it smells nice). And then I went to Daiso, because they opened some here recently and I've never been before. I spent too much money on cute stuff like stickers and car fresheners, but also some useful stuff including toys and blankets for my cats. (No regrets.)

I got a Thai milk tea with boba while I was out, and this place put in so much boba that I had a ton left by the time the drink was gone. (I am not complaining, I love boba.) So I brought my leftover boba home, brewed up some Thai tea and made myself another milk tea with boba, LOL. I felt thrifty as hell, but also severely overcaffeinated after having two Thai teas in a row.

I am so in my shippy feelings for Juliet/Carlton right now. I recently watched the episode where Lassiter has just found out Shawn and Juliet are dating, so he goes just a little bit crazy and tries to publicly out Shawn as a fake, up to and including trying to trap him with a polygraph. (Of course, Shawn knows how to defeat one.) I just loved that although this whole time Lassiter has never believed Shawn and was never shy about saying snide remarks, it wasn't until he discovered his partner was being put personally at risk by Shawn that Lassiter doubled down and tried to expose him. ~swoon

Also, they used this song in an episode I watched and now I'm obsessed with it:
