I've made this post a few times without any luck, but I wanted to try again just in case. Would anyone be interested in any of the following Nintendo Switch games?

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (example on Amazon)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (example on Amazon)
TemTem (example on Amazon)

If you're not interested but know someone who might be, please point them my way. I'm trying to cover the hotel bill due today, and it would help a lot if I could at least sell the Pokémon one since it's worth the most.

For payment, I have CashApp ($Settiai), PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle (nancy.lynn.foster@gmail.com).

Now that I've finally made it through last week's episode without a panic attack in the middle, I managed to get caught up on sharing all of the art from the past six days on my side accounts on Bluesky and X. I've gotta admit, it took a lot longer than expected. It's easy not to realize just how much art this fandom produces when you're sharing it constantly throughout the day vs. playing catch-up.

Still, things are slowly getting back to normal. Or, at least, as normal as things can get for me.

The whole mess with last week's episode really threw things off for me more than I realized. I hadn't realized just how bad my brain had gotten until it started shifting back from the brink. It explains why it's felt like I haven't been able to get anything done the last few days, though.

That said, I think it's probably a good thing that there isn't a new episode of Critical Role tomorrow. Well, not a main campaign one. They're doing a one shot, which I don't tend to watch. I think it will help to have a full week off from them after finally watching the episode last night.

But for now? Work ends in about fifteen minutes, and I desperately need a nap before D&D.

Oh, hey! My Neopets account has officially turned 25 and 1/2 years old! My profile shield updated yesterday without me noticing!

... on that note, fuck, those are words that I never thought I'd ever say. I feel very, very, very old right now.

I managed to get my fic for the Dragon Age Reverse Bang posted by the deadline last night, if just barely. All approximately 12,000 words of it. So, you know, that counts as accomplishing something, I think. It doesn't go live until Friday, so I'm probably going to tweak things a bit here and there throughout the week. It's properly finished, though, so "yay!" for that.

One thing down, a million to go.

I'd originally thought about trying to watch last week's Critical Role after work today now that I have some timestamps to avoid, but I was exhausted by the time I made it back to the hotel. So instead I'm going to try to go to bed early tonight, get a proper night's sleep, and then plan on watching it after work tomorrow. We'll see how it goes?

Yuletide is going to require me to do some fandom re-familiarizing before I start properly writing anything, so I'm going to hold off on starting that until at least the weekend. I have the source(s) at least, so that helps, but finding both the time and the headspace to re-[redacted] everything that I need to re-[redacted] will probably need to wait at least a little while.
