Just take 'em, take 'em

Woke up at 2am. Couldn't fall back asleep, so got up a bit before 3a. It's getting on to 7a, so I'm pretty sure I'm up for the day. Yay. I've got a ton to do today, too. Grocery store, library, laundry, just enough food prep to get us through the next three days (we're both traveling next week and I don't want stuff sitting in the fridge)...ugh.

Tomorrow might be rough. And then I leave for Indianapolis on Sunday. HA HA HA HA *thud*

At least waking so early gave me plenty of time to do a final pass over my first draft of the First Time fic. Sent it to beta a couple hours ago. My second fic! What a world, what a world. Now I just need to start my third watch of Guardian before digging into the Ghost Story. This time I'll be watching with [personal profile] solo 's subtitles and am Very Excited About That. It'll be [personal profile] mckitterick 's second time watching and I'm excited to hear what he thinks. I got so much out of my first re-watch.

I linked to BTS's "Airplane pt. 2" music video in yesterday's dump (and yes, I did watch it again just now since I obviously had to grab the URL for the link WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR POINT) and in the comments on cm.net [personal profile] kazoogrrl mentioned the MV for Blood Sweat & Tears. Since our tastes align like 90% of the time, I of course checked it out immediately and...um, yeah. It's a lot. Dear lord. Just when you think it's reached Peak Hotness (for me, 1:09 with the swing and again at 1:20 with the swing) it keeps on giving more and more (fingers in mouths! blowing smoke! fucking blindfolds! the...kissing?) until you're left with nothing but your own id and a white flag.

Honestly I'm not entirely sure what is the narrative, but I am HERE FOR IT.

I know that ARMY love digging out the deeper meanings from these MVs, and how they tie into the larger universe. I just like watching each one as a self contained unit, enjoying the visuals, and maybe assigning it my own meaning if I come to any conclusion beyond, "Wow! Pretty! Hot! Yes!".

. . . until you're left with nothing but your own id and a white flag.

Seriously, this is me and, like, 75% of the kpop I consume.

ETA: Yay! More fic writing! Eagerly awaiting the results!

Considering one of my favorite Marvel fics is written in third-person omniscient POV, I'm all for weird.
