I remember years ago, before I got into any cmedia fandom, the first time I attempted to read a fanfic for a cnovel. and the fic had dialogue written in that relatively formal way of speaking to someone in the third person, and I found it so alienating and unnatural a construction that I couldn't even finish the fic! and now...I love it.
I don't know why this just struck me now, but it's funny how much your opinions on something can change just by familiarizing yourself with it

red jeans alteration project complete! these jeans were too wide in the waist and too narrow in the thigh. (my thighs are almost universally more magnificent than pants manufacturers know how to accommodate.) I did the following:
1. removed the waistband so I could get some matching fabric from the inner side, to expand the thighs
2. unpicked the back seam and the inner leg seams
3. added the inner waistband fabric into the seams inside the legs, from the top of the seam to my knees
4. sewed up the back seam to take in fabric heading up to the waist
5. sewed the original waistband back on, with a tuck at the back to make up for how the back of the pants were taken in
6. sewed in some sturdy grey fabric scavenged from a dead pair of pants to cover the raw inside of the waistband
7. mended a small hole in the inner thigh
I maintained all the fabric in the seam at the back so that if I ever need to expand my waist again I have room to do that, instead of trimming the seams closely
and they're done! very pleased with myself. the pants work so much better for me now!

review of my playing of caesar in zoom theatre Julius Caesar: "please take this with the best possible spirit. I have never wanted to murder you more than in this role."
AWW YEAH I KILLED IT. (and then was killed. :D)

I just. need to bring up this quote from mdzs. because I feel like it's a moment that's glossed over FAR too quickly. wwx feeding his own blood to spirits he's called to help him, as a reward for their good work! what the fuck wwx!!!
"Wei Wuxian brushed the finger with the cut near each of their lips as awards. With crimson tongues made of paper, the Nether Brawlers slowly licked the blood beside their lips, as if they truly cherished the delicacy."

total eclipse is a totally wild phenomenon, I'm so glad I got to see that, holy shit
and also it's like. if I lived in a time before we knew what was happening, I would absolutely be like, that is a powerful omen portending SOMETHING for sure
