Sheep of Autumn
O dear flist, how are you? I have been away, and will for the most part continue to be away. And autumn, for the most part, sucks. But I've missed talking to you! Tell me all your random happenings, your hopes and dreams and your feelings about Sleepy Hollow. As an ice breaker, I've stolen this meme from wordsofastory
The Last Thing meme.
1. thing that you read - Untold by Sarah Rees Brennan. It was gloooorious. Well, I mean, there were more romantic mishaps than strictly necessary, and there's one character - *cough*Ash*chough* - whose continued presence in the series defies explanation. But there was also:
a. journalistic rebellion
b. mutual protectiveness and awkward teenage love with D/s elements
c. a really creepy torture scene
d. the best misanthropic yet well-loved and well-loving lesbian
e. Kami Glass reminding me of myself to a somewhat creepy yet oddly gratifying extent.
2. thing that you watched - The first episode of Seirei no Moribito! egelantier's heroic mission to get me to watch things continues apace. (A very slow pace.) I LOVED it; the art is breathtaking (THE CLOUDS, OH GOD) and Balsa is a really enticing heroine, both because of the female-bodyguard-on-a-path-to-redemption thing and because she seems to have a really complex and fascinating way of reacting to authority. She was respectful, there was no unnecessary swagger (I mean, I like swagger a lot sometimes, but there was something really, well, hot, about how she accepted local customs with no fuss), but she also made it VERY VERY clear that she only does things on her own term. I'll keep watching (very slowly, as I do), and I'm very curious about how her relationship with her princely ward will develop.
3. thing that you listened to - "Poor mouth", by 16 Horsepower. Dreaming of fanvidding it to Sleepy Hollow. Not that I CAN fanvid, you understand, but I can certainly dream.
4. thing that you wore - Orange pyjamas. Currently wearing blue pyjamas. It's that kind of day.
5. thing that you ate - I honestly can't remember. Oops. Might be time to eat again.
6. thing that you wanted - Sleepy Hollow fanfic, with a lot of dungeons and heroism and banter. Possibly kissing as well. Mostly dungeons though.
7. thing that made you happy - hearing from an old fandom friend (hi Rosie <3). She'd like people to sign up for hp_holidaygen! Relatedly, I'm v. happy with the slow but firm reawakening of HP fandom. Also I love the last three Hermione posts on http://livesandliesofwizards.tumblr.com/
8. thing that made you sad - maybe the fact that Husbands S3 has been out for a while but I can't watch it because it's streamed on an American-only place. What was wrong with youtube, I ask you? Well, presumably Bell and Espenson are making more money this way. Which I approve of. But waaaah, still wanna watch.
9. thing that made you worry - Death Cough IV: Death Cough Strikes Again. In general, I am not a fan of coughing, and I've sure been doing a lot of it lately. I have an Icelandic moss cough syrup here, which is kinda cool though.
10. thing that you're looking forward to - Yuletide! Examlessness. The next episode of Sleepy Hollow. Lack of exams. A long-awaited ever-slipping post-exam state.
