fic_rush will take place next weekend, September 18-22 depending on your timezone! It's a very casual 72-hour write-along event: you show up when you can, talk about whatever projects you have going on, commiserate and cheer people on. All are welcome, and we'd love to see some new people (or returning ones)! It begins Thursday evening in the Americas, Friday morning down under, and during the night between in Europe. If you're at all interested, please check the schedule post for your timezone!

The naming of cats and people
Went to see the cat that sleeps for a thousand years today with D and our friend A because the cat itself (enormous thing that is lit up and moves slightly and snores and purrs (more when you rub its belly!)) was made by someone they know who does big clever electronic things. It was such a clever way to tie in so many kinds of museum objects, from cheetah skeletons to ornamental vessels from Japan to Peru that had cats on them.
And then we had cake and beer/cider and a lot of good chats and it's lovely to have nice friends and the best boyfriend.

Vaccinated? Get a drabble or a poem!
If you are as up-to-date as it is possible to be on COVID and/or influenza vaccinations for your country, I will write for you. Southern Hemisphere people: as up to date as possible means for your flu season, not the Northern Hemisphere's. Prompt away.
My fandoms.
Recently experienced:
KPop Demon Hunters - OT3!
Thursday Murder Club (movie) - ALL THE SMOOSH HANDS.
Slow Horses - I'm caught up on the TV show, have listened to all the books shy of Clown Town, and have a massive soft spot for Shirley and Louisa especially. Ho needs to never, ever get laid ever, but I adore him too. I want to introduce him to Jason Mendoza (The Good Place) so they can have a low wis/high int vs. low int/high wis trolley problem.
The Expanse - I'm halfway through Nemesis Games book-wise, and am slowly making my way through the show. I love everyone in this galaxy, and if anyone prompts me for Avasarala/Bobbie I will have feelings all over the place.
Please format your requests: Drabble or Poetry (you're likely to get a limerick), Fandom(s), character/pair/group (crossover pairings are fair game), any other prompt material (which I may ignore).
If you prompt me with something I can't write, I will ask you for something else.
On a personal note: if I don't get back to you rapidly this weekend, it's because I've been knocked out by my own one-in-each-arm strategy of vaccination. Go go gadget immune system!

Cabin Pressure Limerick Challenge, Abu Dhabi - Limerick posted as of today
ChrisCalledMeSweetie at Tumblr proposed a Cabin Pressure limerick challenge of a poem every day based on Cabin Pressure's episodes, in alphabetical order as per the canon.
The example provided was gen, so I wrote a set of gen limericks.
Then I reflected that gen limericks are not really in the spirit of limericks, so I also wrote a set of dirty limericks.
And then I got too down to post poems for a while, so today I spammed everyone subscribed to me with Fitton through Limerick's limericks.

Lost in FEELS
This time I disappeared because I have been having way too many feelings about KPop Demon Hunters.
WAY. TOO. MANY.
I did not like the ending of this film. However, to say that I'm currently obsessed with it might be an understatement, so obviously I'm in. I bought all the way in, otherwise I wouldn't be left like this--feeling betrayed. I'm not going to go into all of my feelings because all of them would have to be under the cut thanks to the fact that they're all releated to the ending, so MAJOR SPOILERS.

But, yeah, I've literally been doing that thing that I do, which is to google the crap out of things that were mentioned in the film, like saja (fascinating stuff there!) and Korean water demons (mul gwishin), etc.
For those of you who saw it, what did you think of KPop Demon Hunters?

+ No Man's Sky had an update adding customizable shared space ships, and now I'll have to jump back in. Anybody else here still play NMS from time to time? Farting around in a communal decorated base sounds like so much fun.
(I saw one ship shaped like Clippy lol)
+ Or if you'd rather base build and hang in a desert planet, Dune Awakening has a free demo weekend. I honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I did, but the environment is lovingly crafted, and the story surprisingly robust.
Sadly I don't have enough internet at sea to dl the update myself. I'm missing out on a stunning mural 😔
I'm on Europe Lynx / Sietch Yaracuwan, it's been fairly free from bothersome trolls. They've added a bunch more events and story characters as well, so I'm diving back in when I get home. In case somebody wants to buddy up for base building? I'll have to start almost from scratch because I suuure didn't put anything in the bank like I ought to have.
+ And Marvel Rivals is adding Angela!! I don't want to be interested in a hero shooter but HOT DAMN

Oh hey I just found this community. Slow on the uptake here.
I'm Dino, DinoBetta on PoGo, and my favorite 'mon has always been Charizard :}, favorite types are fire and rock and ground. Been playing Pokemon Go for five years-ish now, I'm getting close to level 44, however as of Monday the 8th aka the latest update, my app is completely unusable. Long story short the Niantic email 'help' bot thinks I was/am banned (I'm not) and won't actually give me any useful help, so I guess I'm just going to have to sit around and wait for the next update to drop to see if that fixes the problem.
Very annoyed that my lunch hour fun time and walks-in-the-park app is borked, especially right when an event happened.
Anyway once I can hopefully access the app again, I'll be sure to add my trainer code and good grief if there's anyone local I have so many trading tasks I need to complete, pleeeease. (I will forever be salty they don't allow long-distance pokemon trading.)
