Snowflake Challenge #8

In your own space, create a wishlist.

Oh MAN. Well, okay. Let's see what we've got here.

1. I don't currently have ANY The Untamed icons, and that's a damn shame. If anyone would be interested in sharing/making me some The Untamed icons, I would be OVER THE MOON! My faves are Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian (and WangXian of course), Lan Sizhui (all the juniors, really), Wen Qing, Wen Ning, ALL THE SIBLINGS, GIMME, OMG. And bunnies. All of the above interacting with bunnies. I WANTS THEM.

2. I want everyone to take good care of themselves. No seriously - let me know some of the things you're doing for self-care, that would make me very happy. And hey, if self-care for you would be helped along by a sweet, 12 25-minute episode Japanese gay romance drama, with absolutely the sweetest, softest characters and situations ever, please consider watching Cherry Magic! 30 Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! The title is the premise, obvs, and it is so wonderful and soft and sweet and just... adorable. It totally had me squeaking throughout at the sweetness, I just adored everything. It was self-care at its finest.

3. I love to do cold reads. Like, a LOT. I like podfic, too, but I'm better at cold reads. More natural. If you're an author who might be into that, let me know. My fandoms are fairly broad - broader than the ones I've produced content in - and if we match up, maybe I will record something for you! If you want to know what a cold read sounds like, here's one I did of sami's Utterly Inevitable.

That's probably enough, right? Yeah, that's enough. <3

Cherry Magic was sooooo cute! (Also, from all the Content I've seen it looks like fandom has just collectively chosen to ignore the other pairing on that show, and you know what, that's extremely valid.) I mean, the pengagement was a lot, but then Kurosawa's feelings were a lot, so. Happy bbs! \o/

(For self-care I go for walks and take pictures of ducks, hi.)

HI HI HI!!!!

God, wasn't Cherry Magic the most adorable? It was like, five hours of pure sugar straight into my brain. I loved it. I actually really love Tsuge and Minato - I'm a little surprised by how little fandom is interested in them. I'm probably not invested enough to write Tsuge/Minato fic, but I've already got a half finished Kurosawa/Adachi story!

Oh, NICE. There are so many things I think of as self-care but don't do myself. I know I would feel better if I walked more, it just seems like such an effort, comparatively. One that I should make, though. I love the idea of duck pictures so much, though - do you do anything other than keep them on your roll? Make posters or memes or anything?

I like that Tsuge and Minato got their happy ending, but Tsuge kept giving bad relationship advice to Adachi and his random outbursts were giving me palpitations! 😅 Also I'm slightly resentful that they got two! whole! kisses! (of sorts) and Adachi and Kurosawa got NONE! Although, obviously, their almost-kisses were actually hotter, so that worked out. Anyway, *\o/* for that fic!!!

Sometimes I do have to force myself to put on clothes and go outside, but then usually I'm glad I did. I listen to music or podcasts or podfic, or sort of work on my fanmixes, and it's nice. And since I started the walks last January, I actually had enough pictures to make calendars as Christmas gifts for my family. :-) Otherwise I sometimes post them to Twitter or Tumblr (like so) and every now and then I get a like or a reblog, which is also nice!

Ugh, yes, I was with you on Tsuge's outbursts, I had to watch those through my hands! I think I read somewhere that there was some censorship in Japan, which would explain the lack of onscreen kisses between the main couple but... I am unsure why, then, Minato would be able to be kissed? TWICE?

Yeah, I know I'm always glad for it after having walked, it's just such an effort to get up and do it. SIGH. I love the calendar idea, lol, that's fantastic! And aha, thanks for your tumblr, following you over there, too. :D

[mumblemutter]

Apparently someone somewhere in a YouTube comment section said that one of them, can't remember who, had a clause in their contract that they couldn't do kissing! CLEARLY IT MUST BE TRUE. :-D Anyway, still hot. And the super happy morning-after scene made up for a lot!
