Reading: Books-wise, I’m a bit less than halfway through The Burning Stone by Kate Elliot. It is… a project. Oh, and I’m also slowly working through Copper Coins in tandem with the cnovel thread bookclub over at FFA. In terms of manga, I just read the first volume of Lovesick Ellie this morning, which was an absolute delight.
Listening: Still High Rollers: Aerois! I took a break back in December to catch up on Fic Clique, my beloved, but then I went back on the Aerois train, and it’s one of the reasons why I’m making this update now.
Playing: Nothing since my replay of Karma’s route in Cinderella Phenomenon last weekend. Though I did buy a copy of Evermore a couple of days ago, so maybe that soon?
Watching: Mostly just journaling videos on Youtube. I’ve also been slowly, slowly watching Pluto with my brother at the pace of one episode a week and have been enjoying it thoroughly <3
Writing: I think I’ve slowed down on the Three Sentence Ficathon fills, so nothing actively, technically.

I have such a long list of things I want to make entries about (most Snowflake Challenge-related, but not all), which is honestly kind of a delightful problem to have, considering the usual state of affairs! Today, I think I’m going to tackle a general media round-up, starting with that rapidfire version that I sometimes use (seen above), and then talking about all the little media-I’m-consuming-related things that I’ve been wanting to cover.

► It’s been a good long while* since I talked about my progress with High Rollers: Aerois! Like I mentioned above, I’ve reached episode 15, “The Ironwick Mystery”. (as in, I listened to the very first few minutes of part one this morning while doing the dishes).

*I just checked, and apparently the last time I made an update, I was six episodes in. So I’ve literally doubled my episode count since the last time I recorded my ongoing thoughts and reactions!
( spoilers beneath the cut )

► In my last post, I mentioned that there was something I wanted to comment on in regards to Karma’s non-Lucette interpersonal relationships in Cinderella Phenomenon. ( beneath the cut )

► Finally, another update listing my fills for the threesentenceficathon:

• Cinderella Phenomenon, Klaude/Lucette, for the prompt any, any, only bought this dress so you could take it off


• Cinderella Phenomenon, Lucette & Glaceon, for the prompt any non-Pokémon fandom, any, Pokémon trainer AU


• Aladdin, Jafar/Jasmine, for the prompt Aladdin, Jasmine/Jafar, AU where it's mutual

—Which may also be the last one? I’ve definitely slowed down, in any case.

► Tonight, I was thinking about Sang Jiu from Till the End of the Moon, as one does, and ( Scum Villain crossover thoughts )

► In other news, I found out this morning that this year’s round of the threesentenceficathon is running right now! I have quite the soft spot for this particular ficathon, so I’m going to try to carve out the time to do at least a few fills.

I also signed up for this season’s round of seasonsofdrabbles today. It occurs to me that the appeal of drabbles and three sentence fics are fairly similar for me—they’re both about capturing something—a moment, a character, a feeling, something—within a constrained format, and the results of that have, imo, the potential to be quite striking and impactful.
