Anything? Nothing? Something else? Tell us all about it!

Not much, which is nice. Been a slow day. And now I'm working my nightly job as a cat bed, and all is right with the world. Just reading Bored Panda lists and relaxing.

I used to like Bored Panda a lot but I refuse to turn off my adblocker.

Got successfully trolled by someone who I thought was misguided but earnestly concerned about predatory behavior. Turns out they’re just a malicious, slandering asshole who seems to get off on making false accusations.

A bit frustrated with myself for falling for it and mostly annoyed that people like that pretend to care while actually making things worse.

But also a little proud of myself for disengaging and blocking.

So about a year ago(? maybe two?) my favorite restaurant changed. New owners, “simplified” menu, my family’s faves all gone. The new owner was lovely though, always remembered us and helped my elderly father with his orders if he went without us. But the food was really inconsistent. Sometimes it was good, sometimes bad, once it was great! And then it suddenly closed. My whole family were heartbroken. It is the only restaurant where I can get allergy safe food.

Today I just so happened to be coming out of a store I never visit and saw the restaurant across the street. I didn’t recognize it at first because it has a new sign and new name. My husband was in that part of town so when I texted him, he came straight over. It’s the original owner! And he has the original menu! The food was to die for and it was made all the better because today is our anniversary. It’s just been like the perfect day <3

Yay! I'm so happy for you, anon!

Yayyyyyyyyyy!!

Ooh, nice!

Took an hour long nap on my lunch, still exhausted. Cannot wait for the work day to be over tomorrow.

I got a cane today and am getting used to going around with it.

matching with the bf eh

Nice! They take some getting used to and I always end up using them like a crutch.
If you have a Cricut/Cameo or know someone who does, you can do custom designs. Oracal 631 is best if you want to be able to change it, otherwise you can use Oracal 651 or heat transfer vinyl. I did HTV for mine because it’s thinner and looks like an inlay or professional paint job.

my kneecap is off centre and rubbing against the cartilage, which is causing it to erode underneath and causing me pain when I walk and possibly lower back pain. My GP has recommended physio before we even think about surgery.

I'm so tired of my body attacking me.

I've had my typical work routine upended due to city advisory meetings being scheduled oddly. I'm somehow tired from all the working from home that results from this.

Where the fanfic just doesn't interest you one you go looking for it?

Not sure about once I go looking for it, but I've just never felt the urge to read or write fanfic for the LUNAR series. Everything wrapped up so neatly and I never once wondered how the gangs were faring post-game, or even the little moments in between.

Every time I happen to see 30 minutes of Harry Potter during one its daily marathons on cable, I always get a 30-minute urge to read some fic. Then I just can't find anything because there is too much.

I religiously watched both LOST and Elementary and was completely uninterested in fic for either. I think it was because I didn't feel the need to get into the characters and their relationships more (including the fact that I didn't ship anyone). With LOST I just wanted to watch for the mystery and with Elementary I guess I was just really satisfied with the characters as presented on the show?

Honestly, most of them, but the one that surprised me was Yuuri on Ice!!! I was obsessed and convinced *that* was the series that would get me reading *and* writing fic again. I read a couple of great fics in the early days, then the fandom exploded and I found I was satisfied enough with the canon and wasn't willing to sort through the avalanche to find the fics that were worth my time.

Most of the game fandoms where you have a customisable main character and/or strong emphasis on very different playthroughs/player choices. I tried reading fic for Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate and the likes but eh, getting to know a new literal OC in every did is not really my thing. Only exception is Durge centered fic in the BG3 fandom because Durge has more of a canon background but still... not my favourite.

Less a particular fandom and more a dynamic: I'm completely uninterested in any shipfic if the characters I like are already a couple in canon. It just feels like I don't "need" any shipfic in that case.

Hannibal. It is hard to get the tone and characterizations right. I admit I didn't look very hard for fic, but kept finding too much fluff and ABO and just noped out.

I tried looking for some Reylo fic, a few months after TLJ came out. I'm sure there was some good stuff in there somewhere, but most of it just wasn't what I was looking for. It felt like it was all either, "Kylo Ren is a misunderstood sad boy who has been done wrong, and Rey is the bland (but special!) self-insert who understands him" or "Kylo Ren is a dark fuck prince and Rey is the bland (but special!) self-insert who is helpless to resist his magnetism." Sometimes it was a twofer and Kylo Ren was both a misunderstood sad boy and a dark fuck prince at once.

I'm not sure exactly what I was looking for from Reylo fanfic, but I know for sure I wanted something that didn't play to such bog-standard M/F romance tropes.

I'd want fic for a ship like that to be Battle Couple stuff, featuring lots of ethically dubious moments in which Ren is struggling to change and Rey is struggling to resist her own darker impulses. You're telling me there's none of that out there?

I'm friends with some relatively popular Reylo writers, and while I did see what you were talking about, the post-TROS fics were really good and managed to give me canon Rey and canon Ben. Not so much the SPESHUL PRINCE/PRINCESS. Granted, I was trying after TROS and not TLJ, so YMMV, but I found a lot of really good fic.
