Man, it's been so long... March and April was a really slow period for me fandom-wise. But in May I started playing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy! And wow, I love it. I have so many thoughts. I might make a series of blog posts about each route and my thoughts on them? I'm aiming to get all 100 endings. So far I've completed: Killing Game, Rebellion, V'ehxness, Multiple Eitos, Slasher, Mystery, Box of Calamity, Conspiracy, 2nd Scenario, Reset, Goodbye Eito, Eva, Coming of Age, and Comedy. I'm currently working on Steady Fundamental and picking at the rest. I think this is my newest forever fandom, the way that Fire Emblem is for me.

battleshipex this year! Yay Team Strawberry! I had a lot of fun. I wrote 4 works and over 6k words, and drew 3 things! This was the best team I've ever been on, even though I loved Team Tunnel last year, and had so much fun my first year playing on Team Frost. I haven't really had a chance to look at my gifts yet, I'll probably start reading them after I post this entry, but I'm delighted just looking at the tags and summaries. Maybe I'll do a round-up?
Relatedly (or maybe just to me), I've been wondering what to do about archiving my fic on dreamwidth. I like having it here, but I am so behind and just feel less strongly right now about AO3 and the OTW being annoying and bone-headed. Maybe I'll just post links to the fic with summaries?
In a similar vein, I'm trying to pivot away from using Google Docs to write my fics, due to them locking some people's fics recently. I rarely share the links to my fics, but it makes me feel better having all my fic be on my laptop. I'm trying out Scrivener right now. It's got a lot of bells and whistles that I don't really need, but I've been kicking around an original idea in my head, and may try those features out to write a long original work sometime. So far I like Scrivener, but I'm not in love with it. I haven't written a whole lot using it, though, this decision to move away from gdcos came after Battleship was pretty much over.
Also, new default icon! I commissioned a FE4 artist who draws Seliph in a way that I absolutely love, and I love how adorable he looks! I really liked Syaoran as my icon, but I think this Seliph icon is going to be a permanent change. Unless I commission the same artist for a similar drawing of Leif... it's a tempting thought.
In personal news, nothing much has changed, but I'm happier at my job now that I've switched restaurant locations within the airport. There's still some friction with the servers, but it's just a little bit sometimes and not nearly as bad as it was before. I'm coming up on a year of living on my own out of my parents' house! It's been great. Being financially independent can be really stressful sometimes, but it really makes me feel fulfilled to be taking care of myself 100% financially.
Oh, I think I forgot to post this before-- but I've officially realized that I'm trans. In retrospect, it was obvious. Oh well, I'm finally here. Agender is what I feel best describes me right now, and pronouns aren't a big deal to me right now but I do prefer they/them.
Editing to add!!: I also got a bluesky account! I don't want to use twitter anymore, but I enjoyed its functionality. Here's my profile:
