Wearing: A long denim skirt and a blue t-shirt featuring a rainbow and a unicorn reading a book, with the words "The Library is Open."
Reading: I recently read two books about how Video Games Brainwash The Youths, and I have Thoughts, which I hope to share in a separate post.
Writing: I haven't responded to any of the prompts yet, but Sapphic Summer is happening again this year.
Planning: Working today and tomorrow morning! My housemate invited me to Rocky Horror tomorrow evening but I'm not sure whether I want to go; I'm not strongly attached to Rocky Horror but it would be Fun Thing To Do With Friend.
What about you?

Throwback Thursday, Fandom Edition: Heroes and Villains, Revisited
Jun. 12th, 2025 07:55 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I shared what I once imagined to be a stereotypical hero/villain confrontation, which involved mind control because of course it did.
Tuesday Top Five: This Is A Strobbery!
Jun. 10th, 2025 10:41 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I went strawberry picking over the weekend with my family. Here are some of my potential plans for the berries that I carted back to Boston.
1. Oatmeal topping! I did this yesterday and today. Tomorrow, I might mix in some banana and/or peanut butter as well.
2. Lemonade flavoring!
3. Cupcakes! I am thinking of filling the cakes with lemon curd that I made a few weeks ago, and using the strawberries to flavor the icing.
4. Bread pudding!
5. PIES. Maybe I'll combine the strawberries with peaches or rhubarb.
Do you like strawberries? What are some of your favorite ways to use them?

Wearing: Denim shorts, blue tank top, and a button-down shirt printed with foxes.
Reading: I finished Immaculate Conception by Ling Ling Huang. It has elements of horror and sci-fi, like her first book, but that one seemed to lean more into the former while this one leaned more into the latter. And although there were very satisfying amounts of Mind Stuff in Immaculate Conception, and I think it did a good job of examining the art industry and dysfunctional friendships, I think that I still liked Natural Beauty more.
Writing: Still, alas, between projects!
Planning: I'm spending a couple of days with my parents, and we'll hopefully pick strawberries with my sister and cousins.

Throwback Thursday, Fandom Edition: Crossover Investigations
Jun. 5th, 2025 08:19 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I wrote about some of my adventures in crossover fanfic and shared a partial draft of a fic in which Jekyll's Miranda Callendar investigated the succubus-run fashion company from The Middleman after noticing a resemblance between their models and Mr. Hyde.
