Friday Update

(a lot) From Twitter:
Someone unintentionally made an illustration for Ghost Story! (thank you naye , for retweeting it)
Shen Wei fumbling with Zhao Yunlan's belt/fly in this piece of fanart is breaking me.
There is mention of this manip in a fanvid and I want to know where is the fmv please?
Just when you think you're going to expire from Bai Yu's face...his tongue makes an appearance.
Zhu Yilong's traps, delts, and lats clearly visible through his white shirt jesus take the wheel.
And this I actually found on FB  through a google search for supercut of Zhu Yilong spitting blood. #NoRegrets #NoShame
and actually not Guardian related! 
If you haven't seen the Degas-style studies of Tom Holland's lip sync battle, you really should.

Found a Tumblr with detailed, spoiler-heavy re-watch posts for The Untamed. They're currently at episode eight (posted on November 4).

I did a poor job of tracking most of my Guardian bingo squares and I  feel like an asshole about that because I've gotten so many good links from people posting what they did. Apologies for not returning the favor. Mea culpa. In my defense, it was track those or make better progress on Ghost Story and Ghost Story won. But I figure I should at least note what I did to fulfill the Hallows squares:

Longevity Dial: Tonight I'm watching the final two episodes with someone in meatspace I'd talked into watching the show and nursing her through the trauma.

Mountain-River Awl: By sheer luck, I discovered I hadn't left a comment on xparrot 's gorgeously angsty Now Lie in It (which, god, the title alone is heartbreakingly perfect) so I rectified that.

Merit Brush: I'm counting all my links to Twitter posts for this.

Guardian Lantern: Still to go. I won't be posting a fanwork before the deadline (sob!), but I'll work on a love letter this weekend. I would like to recognize mekare, though, as being the reason I'm here. Thanks, bb! Your artwork and screencaps/gifs brought me to the party and I'm so grateful.

Things are Physically Not Great which bleeds right into depression for me. Amazing how an inability to move bums me out! Haven't made it back to the gym since Tuesday's crash. It's difficult enough getting up the (one) flight of stairs in my house. That's a solid indication of a fatigue flare-up even though my brain is (mostly) staying online. I danced around the living room to a couple songs yesterday afternoon, just to do something and it felt so good. But last night's sleep was fractured and I woke exhausted--indicative of high cortisol levels which means I gotta take it real easy today or risk putting myself in a hole for several days in a row.

I hate this.

At least I have Ghost Story and the internet!
