098 | Homestuck ended! And other things
Tuesday, 19 April 2016 01:49 pm► I am not dead! However, I no longer have regular internet access, and probably won’t for the next half a year to full year. I...don’t like to talk about my personal life on here, and so I won’t go into much detail, but ( cut for vague discussion of my life )
Honestly, it’s way more frustrating for me that my phone is having internet problems. I bought a new SIM card to use while I'm here, and it went fine at first, but for the last two weeks, my connection has been so weak and terrible, that I can’t do anything with the internet. It’s...really frustrating, as it means that I can’t play Shall We Date? The Niflheim. It’s dumb, I know! But I really love that game, and when I think about all the content that I’m probably missing out on, I just...yeah. I’m pretty sure that there isn’t a temporary event story going on yet, as there was one just before I left, but I know that there’s probably going to be at least two or three before I get back home, and I don’t even want to think about the possibility that I’ll miss those.
► In other news, Homestuck ended! ( cut for spoilers )
Of course, now I want to read all of Homestuck again, but I can’t, due to said limited Internet access.
Which reminds me— is there any way to download Homestuck fics from AO3 and still have the varying text colors remain? Because right now and for the foreseeable future, offline reading is going to be my primary way of being able to read fic, period, but I can’t really read Homestuck fic when the chatlog colors are stripped away. It throws me off too much. Any help would be much appreciated.
► Speaking of fic, I read the revelations in your skin (Frozen, 105K, complete) by afterism, and holy hell, that was a revelation, haha. It’s Hans/Elsa, which is a pairing that I...definitely don’t ship, but I came across some recs for it on FFA that made it sound really, really promising, so I gave it a shot.
And I am so, so glad I did. The characterization, and the slow way Hans and Elsa’s relationship develops— just, everything was perfectly done. When I think about this fic, I just kind of want to prop my head on my chin and let out a happy sigh. I read it in a single afternoon— in one sitting— because I just couldn’t put it down. I can’t imagine any Hans/Elsa fic—or, hell, a Frozen fic, period— living up to this one.
(Now, if I could only find a really long fic of similar quality for Hans/Anna…)
