Weekly Blog: 07.20.25 - 07.26.25

SUNDAY
I was scrolling through Tumblr this morning and I came across someone who announced their intention to ship Bowser and Bowser Jr. All I can say is godspeed, friend. o7 Stay strong and don't let anyone take your joys from you…! (Their blog proudly states that their a fan of incest ships, so they'll probably be alright, hehe)

Made a foray into using the ao3downloader to get the html files of all my fics for my site. Had a bit of trouble, but this GitHub post solved my issue. This program is really neat! Worked like a charm~

Last night I found a Murderbot Diaries fic where the narrative is told via you playing a game of Minesweeper. It’s really cool. The code also goes nuts, lmao (I peeked at it to see all the different endings).

Also I finally finished cleaning up my Dreamwidth blog!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Everything I want to be up here is posted here now! So now I can turn my attention to Phase 2 of this project: Making my Neocities website.

…After I play my fill of Fields of Mistria. The new update is tomorrow! 😀

MONDAY - TUESDAY
Fields of Mistria update dropped! It’s fun to get back into the game~ You can date people now! Multiple people! Apparently! (I haven’t gotten there yet)

Played it through Tuesday, although on that day I got like a bunch of messages from people I know in a bunch of different channels. A high school friend on Discord, a mutual on Tumblr, a former coworker on LinkedIn, someone I'd been chatting with late last year on Pillowfort. Nothing bad; it was just a bit overwhelming ^^;

I also took a break to go shopping today because our water's being shut off tomorrow morning/afternoon so I wanted to make sure water was in the house for the duration. I also bought snacks :D

WEDNESDAY - THURSDAY
On Wednesday Dad came with a couch! We’ve been trying to convert the spare room to a living room (because my brother claimed the living room as a bedroom, and we’re finally getting started on that process. The couch can convert into a relatively firm bed, just in case we ever have guests.

I also went out to sing at an event with some other a cappella folks. It was fun! We got ramen after~

And then I played more Fields of Mistria into Thursday. I wanna try to complete Year 2 before putting it down again.

FRIDAY
Apparently Nintendo officially declared that Princess Peach and Mario are “good friends”. Platonic Mareach FTW!!!!! Everyone else is super crashing out about it tho 🤭 (Everyone loves the power of friendship until it interferes with a ship they like, lol) (also by god the casual misogyny about it all! Yikes!)

DC-Slash Con starts today! It's not about DC comics; it’s ‘cause the con originally was tied to Washington DC. I’m glad that cleared up for me, because otherwise I wouldn't have thought to go XD. There are lots of good panels! I especially enjoyed the Building Inclusive Fandom one.

SATURDAY
More DC-Slash Con! I’d meant to blitz the creation of pages for my website, but ended up distracted by the con, haha.

There was a panel about vidding and now I wanna get into vidding but i dont have anything to vid! Mario cutscenes? Probably not that viable! Weh! Maybe if it was a very short vid…

Also during the meal break they streamed the first 2 episodes of the Murderbot TV show in the Discord and I had to check it out. People weren't wrong in saying its fanfic of the books. They handled the inner monologues and the awkwardness very well, though!. Makes me wanna reread the first book again. And apparently in the Discord someone shared a link to their treasure trove of a bunch of TV show rips. One of those was Murderbot. Another was Ted Lasso, which is a show I want to watch sometime. I have both on my hard drive now 🙂

They had Buddy Daddies playing in one of the con rooms and I watched a little of that, too. Couldn't get into it, though. A shame, ‘cause that was another show that was on my watch list. But the character dynamic of the main leads (to start off, anyway) isn't very compelling to me. I didn’t like it 🙁

The Vid Show was AMAZING! There was an Ace attorney vid set to I’m Blue that was fun. Also there was a Thunderbolt Fantasy vid that was intriguing! It had puppets and 3d animation and 2d sprites and LEGO and is this all the same source??? And the action scenes were super cool, too…! There was also a vid about Ted Lasso that made me really wanna watch the show more than I already did. And there was a multifandom vid starring a whole bunch of F/F couples, and hopefully the vid will be released somewhere because I’m super curious about the Black couple that kept being shown and the fandoms list scrolled too fast to clock it. 🙁 Also there was a vid about New Life Begins and another about a universe of Bollywood spies(?) that looked really cool as well. One of the vids had Frog and Toad in it and another was like a minute long so truly you can vid anything if you try hard enough…🤔 Vids are cool and I’m adding vidding to my ever-growing list of hobbies I don't have time for.
