bb!SW is so incredibly pretty.
Need help picturing Bai Yu's face when he's enjoying something extremely pleasant? Like maybe thinking about Zhu Yilong's tongue? I mean, even one of the directors ships it.

Thanks tokimboo_york for the link to this thread about the Minoans. Parts the second and third. I had no idea about 90% of this and it certainly doesn't affect my appreciation for the images they did produce.

Scheduled productivity project is not happening this week. Migraine + fatigue = another few days of limping through as I can.

However! I've made the small step of donning items that aren't house clothes while I'm sitting around the house. Most of my wardrobe is stretch knits anyway, so they still feel like house clothes, but at least they're things I wouldn't feel weird wearing to the grocery store. I'm also going to self-test for Spanish on Duolingo today. At least get that set up for when I have brain to actually learn. Baby steps baby steps.

This is me not freaking out that my herbalism apprenticeship program starts in less than two months and I'm still this physically frail. I already warned the instructor that I have fatigue issues, so...


My life motto.

Part 5 of the minoan thread.

The whole thing is fascinating.

[clevermanka]

Thank you!

[minoanmiss]

That was a fascinating and educational thread. Thank you for posting the last part, and clevermanka, thank you for the links to. the others.

[clevermanka]

I was hoping you'd enjoy those!

[rlyqueer]

Ugh, I'm so sorry you're dealing with migraines and fatigue. Both of those things are major suck and I hope you feel better soon!

Changing up the way you dress is a great idea and I can attest to its efficacy. I work from home so I'm in pajamas 80% of my working hours, but when I get dressed for networking, it definitely impacts my mindset. And yay for staying comfortable with stretch knits!

Fingers crossed that the body doesn't rebel too much and your apprenticeship starts nice n smooth. Since you've already given a heads up to your instructor, hopefully they work with you and your needs!

[clevermanka]

They are major suck!!! Thank you for the crossed fingers. The instructor was incredibly kind and it sounded like she deals with invalids not infrequently, so...

Oh. Yes. Excellent. :D

Thank you for all the links!

Yes, my thoughts exactly!

Migraine + fatigue = another few days of limping through as I can.

Ugh. I hope they go away soon! *hugs*

[clevermanka]

Thank you! Glad you had a nice time with the links! =D

That LWJ fighting vid is amazing! <3

[clevermanka]

I love fic and vids that show what an absolute badass is hidden under that placid exterior.

[goss]

Yeah, he's usually so poised and still, I sometimes forget just how *much* of a whirlwind action-hero/brawler he is on the show.

I *did* need that, thank you.

[marycrawford]

your links to Guardian gifs are a BOON and I appreciate them a whole lot <3

[clevermanka]

It's a service I am thrilled to provide!

[islenskr]

Hang in there. You can do it.
HUGS

[clevermanka]

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[write_out]

Forgive me if you've already talked about this hear, but what will the apprenticeship program entail?

HUGS fucking migraines. I hope this one eases up soon.

[clevermanka]

You know, maybe I should make a post about it--it's gonna be a big part of my life coming up soon...

[minoanmiss]

Please do! Also, I'm cheering you on!

[clevermanka]

Will do! Maybe Monday!

OMG this is amazing! I needed that in my life!

[clevermanka]

Thank you, seriously. I was gonna cry if nobody mentioned that.

I JUST LIKE TO BE FUNNY OKAY? VALIDATE ME.

Just catching up on everything and if you're curious about context for the escalator vid: Tokyo's Haneda Airport has these WWF posters of Zhu Yilong up as part of their "you don't need ivory" etc campaign. So Suya and Natsuumare (who posted the vid) decided to go on a fannish excursion, as this is as close to Zhu Yilong as they'll get. And they brought little dolls and fanart - the whole thread really made me smile. ♥

Oh my gosh I love it this makes me so happy.

The excitement when the Zhu Yilong posters went up was such that I thought he was actually visiting Japan in person. It was great! ♥
