Got up and had breakfast and coffee, then dressed and went to Target with

mashfanficchick, Dani, and Winnie. We were there to buy Winnie some bras, her first. So that was fun.

Then we came back and cleaned out

mashfanficchick's mother's car, which has been stored here since August.

That took several hours, then we all came in and napped or dozed.

Eventually I Teamed the FWiB. We talked for an hour, and that was fun.44

At 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He is fine and looking forward to his Spring Fling on Wednesday.

Then we made dinner, individual nacho bites. Yummy.

And now I'm doing this.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Middle Brother having fun.

3. The car is cleaned out.

4. Good dinner.

5. Lovely weather for it.

6. Fun in the kitchen together.

Current Mood: okay

Or, anyway, I glanced at the headlines and oh fuck no. Can I just go back to bed, and somebody wake me when things improve?

Welcome to the read-along for Miss Forensics by Jiu Nuan Chun Shen! As previously stated, we will be reading FIVE (5) chapters a week, so a new read-along post will go up every 2 weeks. Each chapter summary will be posted and serve as parent threads for each chapter, so please do your best to keep your comments under the correct ones!

One chapter will go up per day, Monday through Friday, and I will do my best to slip them in before it's evening in Asia. Of course, if you are up for it, please feel free to post the chapter summaries to get the read-along going!

The link to the novel on JJWXC can be found here.

You can also follow the novel through the audiobook on Himalaya, though there may be slight changes and ommissions from the original.

For the ~~Millions~~ ~~Thousands~~ ~~Hundreds~~ ~~Dozens~~ ~~Handful~~ of My Fans

I finally decided I might as well put this piece of RPF-adjacent fic up here. Alert the press.

Also, I'm putting the MV here (under a cut, I'm not subjecting folks to it if they don't want to see it), so that if you do want to read it, you have the MV there as proof of what sparked this ~~ridiculousness~~ creativity.

( Watch )

With that handled, here's the story, under its very own cut.

I know that the term Alien has a few different meanings in English. But for this Challenge I want you to focus only on characters that are not originated from Earth. In this case it also doesn't matter where they actually came from. If it's somewhere different than Earth then you can use them.

As examples below I used characters that both look and doesn't look like humans. Both can be used for this Challenge. :o)

The theme for this month is:
MAGNIFYING GLASS

For this coming month, we are going to be making sets of icons that start with a very far crop and then go to a very close crop.

Now I know I just posted a new battle a couple of weeks ago, but I really feel like making icons and feel really inspired with this prompt.
So, this battle will be for July.
I think it will work out okay because July becomes a little busy for me preparing for the new marching band season.

You are allowed to make up to 4 sets of 5 icons and at least 3 icons in a set if you want to participate but don't have a lot of time.

Hopefully all that makes sense. If you have any questions just let me know. :)

There's an example of a set:

sietepecados /

abyss_valkyrie /

violateraindrop /

tinny /

goodbyebird

♦ You can use any fandom or stock images for this battle.
♦ You can make 3- 20 icons for this battle.
♦ To enter, post your icons here in a new comment.
♦ To participant, please comment below. :)
♦ Sign-ups are open the whole battle.

You have until Saturday, July 31st @ 11:59pm EDT

I was rewatching Avengers: Infinity War and it, again, struck me how bloody hypocritical Steve's "we don't trade lives" line(s) is. Friend. Pal. Bro. My man. Do you really think no Wakandan is gonna die fighting Thanos' armies. Like. Get a fucking grip, omg.
