Thursday

Fanart: Wedding shoot. Zhubai cuties. Tiny Shen Weis caring for their Yunlan. Pretty boys. Kiss. Gleeful bloody Ye Zun. "Doodles."

Weilan cosplayers!

Luo Fusheng looking good all over the place.

I posted the FMP portrait on AO3.

This weeks dump on cm.net.

Interview tomorrow.

Lying in bed last night I got a zing of happy-excited adrenaline. I don't remember the last time I experienced that sort of giddiness. It was kinda fun, but also hey body, we need to sleep.

Feeling unsettled and on-edge today. I think my brain is ready for change but is having difficulty pushing through the membrane of inertia that it's been wrapped in for nearly two years. If anyone has suggestions on breaking out of stasis, I'm open to suggestions that aren't terribly physically taxing. I already pulled my right psoas muscle with some overenthusiastic yoga earlier this week.

Everything's crossed! Good luck with the interview.

Thank you!

Suggestions for breaking out of stasis...wish I knew, it sounds like a really neat skill! (Become a cicada! I hear they'll be doing a lot of breaking out of stasis soon!)

Keeping you in my thoughts tomorrow. ♥

LOL I'll let you know if I figure anything out!

Thank you for the good thoughts. 🤞❤🤞

Oh Luo Fusheng. You deserved so much better.

Good luck with the interview tomorrow! I super believe in you!

As for breaking out of stasis... no real clue. Start with something small, I assume, rather than jumping headfirst into everything new? Do one thing every day that breaks your normal routine and makes you go somewhere or experience something out of the norm, even if it's just... going to a different Starbucks or grocery store, or taking a different route somewhere? Try a new recipe?

Oh Luo Fusheng. You deserved so much better.
I'm so glad he miraculously recovered from all that and is now happily shacked up with Luo Fei.

I'm not sure I can do one thing every day, but I can aim for something once a week. Maybe returning to an old habit. I haven't sent anyone postcards in a while...hm. Thank you for the idea!

[yaaurens]

I really did love Luo Fusheng and Tianying though. Clearly they all just... escaped and happy lives!

[clevermanka]

Have you read Fangirlishness's kinda knife-y but sexy The Last (First) Time?

[yaaurens]

I have. There is an annoying dearth of Luo Fusheng and Tianying fic!

[clevermanka]

The curse of the canon het ship.

[elenothar]

Good luck with the interview (if that's still outstanding, otherwise I hope it went well)!

[clevermanka]

Six and a half hours to go! Thank you!

[nnozomi]

Good interview luck today! (Or tomorrow or however the hell the timezones line up.) <3
Breaking out of stasis, wish I knew. Like someone else was saying, a little at a time--art/postcards etc., fancy cooking maybe, plants?

[clevermanka]

It's this afternoon! Thank you!

Oooo, I do have these Thai Basil seeds I've been meaning to sprout...

[tinny]

Thanks so much for all the links! (And yay for posting the portrait to ao3! \o/ )

[clevermanka]

You're welcome! And thank you, I'm SO happy with that portrait! I want the energy to do more.
