• the new season of helluvaboss is here! excited about the angst, absolutely heartbroken about the childhood trauma. can't wait to see what's next. the boys s3 was the usual mindbending good time, even if i didn't appreciate how much gorier it was in comparison to the other seasons. heartstopper was cute but it didn't quite hit the spot. i find i struggle with highschool romances lately. i need to chew harder stuff. but please let me tell you how much i fucking loved dirk gently's holistic detective agency! ive getting into puzzle-like media lately and i've missed putting together the pieces so much. i really had an amazing time and the characters are all the best.
• i finally started playing assassin's creed: brotherhood; i think it's the first time i play games where i get to play the same character twice in a row and i was so happy to see ezio again. poor guy, he was so happy to back home and then things went to shit so quickly again lmao. anyway, i'm struggling a little with the storyline but now i got to leonardo again so everything is better haha. friend got me a controller: i'm curious to see if im going to have an easier time with it.
• i read so much this month: i read basically anything by becky chambers i could put my hands on. it's a kind of slice-of-life sci fi that i really appreciate. i really like her writing and the themes she treats in her books. i finally cut my teeth on the locked tomb and now i'm waiting for nona the ninth like everyone else. i knew i was going to like it, which is why i waited so long to read it, but im glad i waited for the right moment. im now full heartedly obsessed with it and gleefully free to do it.

WRITING

it's done! the fic it's done! it's online! it's complete!

what my heart just yearns to say in ways that can't be said

...and now im stuck. hopefully i'll manage to unstick myself during the next month
