I should at least occasionally share some of my mastodon thoughts over here too, for those of you who aren't on mastodon! my dw is too much just reviews and recs and the occasional fanwork these days. okay, three things make a post:


1.

tfw you keep forgetting which of the wips you're subscribed to you're waiting until they're done to read, and which you're reading as they're published, and so you open and read a chapter of a fic and then realise you haven't read the last 2 chapters

well that would definitely explain why this chapter didn't feel like it led reasonably from where I remember the fic having been left off!! because it WASN'T SUPPOSED TO.


2.

my partner told me recently about seeing someone on Instagram asking what the classic millennial midlife crisis move was going to be because convertibles are out of date and cheating on your spouse is gross, and someone replied to the post with "building a craft room. a room, just for crafts." and like. holy shit. I am living the millennial DREAM. I love my new craft room. I love it so MUCH. I have had it for less than two months and I'm not even done setting it up, and already it feels indispensable


3.

I decided to add a rare fandom tag to my bookmarks on pinboard, so I went through all the fandoms I have bookmarked (MANY HUNDREDS) and it's so funny how much I needed to double-check on ao3 to discover whether or not they're rare fandoms.

me: well I only have one fic bookmarked for this fandom and I know literally nothing about the canon even through osmosis, it's probably rare.

the fandom: has more than 80,000 works on ao3.
