*cackles* I just blew things up and what didn’t blow up got set on fire!
(And then my Sim went and put out all the flames before anything burnt to uselessness or the little heaps of scrap could be set on fire too.)
There is something very satisfying about getting a Sim up to level 6 of the inventing skill and setting up a circle of things to detonate. Even when it goes a little badly, and lights shit on fire. Just. BOOM!
I went to reread one of my own fics, because I’d forgotten which fic went with the title that popped up in my kudos email. Apparently, I’d also failed to notice a comment. Easy enough when there wasn’t a notification email (I checked. I don’t delete them until I’ve replied to them, and this one wasn’t replied to, so there should have been one).
I read it, and started laughing. Because, dude, if you failed to pay attention to the canon, it’s not my job to convince you that a part of canon I didn’t change actually exists.
Besides, how the hell do you come to the conclusion that someone whose mother’s family has a legend they have elven heritage somewhere in their past, and someone who fights orcs on a regular basis would refuse to believe in other species? Seriously? Did we read the same book? Watch the same movies? Because somehow, I really doubt it.
*goes back to giggling, because the other options are crying and screaming, and neither is appealing right now*
I would like to destroy something because I still can’t go out of my apartment without a lot of effort to hide from the sun, I can’t open the curtain of the window next to me for the same reason, I can’t get my laundry done until Monday, there was a lot of ow today because it’s a red day, and it’s hard to do dishes when sun comes in the window over the kitchen sink.
(And despite all efforts to hide from the sun while going to deal with the produce delivery today, I still got mild sunburn on my face. Fuckdamnit.)
Two more days. Two more days of this stuff, and then I am done. And I can go back to taking closer to fifteen minutes than five or less to begin to burn.
In happier things – I have spent two days marathoning CSI Miami and taking notes so I can play in one of my AUs. And also compiling little bits and pieces to support a headcanon or two of mine about one of my favored characters. (Also adding a new headcanon to my list because of bits about the actor, combined with stuff about the character.) I love being able to find things that make me think a character is ace-spectrum (demi or gray ace, in this case), and also neurodivergent (this one I’m not as settled on, but there are bits and pieces that make me think ADD). Also, he is easy on the eyes, which does not hurt at all.
Hugs for everyone, and I hope you sleep well!
