More home karaoke! Yes, it's only been a couple of weeks since the last session. I swear this isn't going to become a fortnightly habit; the timing just worked out that way ( Read more... )

About a week ago, I posted an unfinished fanfiction meme to Tumblr, and I thought it might be fun to play here as well!

Name a canon you know I have at some point enjoyed, and I’ll dig up and post an excerpt from the unfinished fanfiction I’ve almost certainly got lying around. (If you name something I don’t have any unfinished fanfiction for, I ( Read more... )

I wanted to take a week or so to digest Persona 4, and by 'digest Persona 4' I may mean 'read a vast, incredible, harrowing fic where Yosuke is trapped in an abusive relationship with the culprit' (sympathy_crime, upsetting content of all stripes, I'm a couple of chapters from the end and it's honestly one of the best things I've ever read), but I'm now feeling ( Read more... )

More Persona 5! I really like this game. The battle system's interesting, the characters are fun, and the whole thing just has a lot of style and charm.

Although I'm pretty outraged that at one point an in-game teacher asked me 'how many colours does it take to paint this picture without any two adjacent sections being the same colour?' and I spent ( Read more... )

The dialogue of Life Is Strange comes in for a fair bit of mockery for being unnatural, and, to be honest, it's not undeserved ('Oh, man, are you cereal?' is one of the worst offenders). But it portrays young female friendship in a way that rings very true to me: perhaps truer than any other work of fiction I've consumed. During Farewell, the bonus ( Read more... )

Final Fantasy XV is, it turns out, a pretty good thing to play when you're feeling down or distracted. You can lose yourself in lengthy battles, watch your boys drive across the world, take up low-effort hunts or sidequests, fish, wander the landscape, collect ingredients in an attempt to help Ignis invent new recipes. There's so much aimless ( Read more... )

I feel really weird about this fic. I feel like, on some level, writing for something I last wrote for when I was fifteen has caused me to revert to the writing level I was at when I was fifteen. Maybe I'm imagining it. I hope I'm imagining it ( Read more... )

I'm unsettled by the thought that some people read or watch DN Angel and come away thinking, 'Ah, yes, Satoshi, there's a young man who's definitely not in unrequited love with Daisuke.' I'm usually open to people having their own interpretations of characters and their relationships, particularly on points that aren't made explicit in canon! But ( Read more... )

Back in June of 2012, I posted the first six ficlets for a self-imposed challenge: a ficlet for each letter of the alphabet, each concerning two characters whose names begin with that letter.

Now, eleven months later (I am the slowest person in the world), here are the second six ficlets! Fandoms represented are DN Angel, Princess Tutu, Avatar: ( Read more... )
