You want straight answers, ask a straight lady.  
+ I very much need to stop mentally writing DW posts. Those drafts don't transfer, brain! As in: hi! Long time no see?

+ Once again a failboat about getting my health certificate so I could go back to work. Actually had to borrow some money from my dad. But the doctor seemed very optimistic that if i stuck to the plan I'd be ready for the next trip in February, and luckily I did some work when the boat was docked for repairs, so a bit of wages incoming there.

Meanwhile, I'm on a strict low carb diet and walking every day.

+ To help with structure and meal times I decided to visit my mom, and I'll mostly be here until after Christmas. it's very nice to be back in her cozy house! And my nephew loves going out hunting for Pokemons with me. Today I stuck my chilly hands down the back of his sweater for fun, and he refused to come close to me the rest of his visit. Then after leaving, he came back in just to give me the hug he didn't want to give my cold ass when he was leaving. Without prompting lol. So adorable.

+ There's a bunch of Christmas markets coming up starting this weekend, hopefully I'll have some pics to share.

+ I'm only playing three low-stakes games rn, Marvel Snap,Pokemon Go, and Disney Dreamlight Valley. A safe way to avoid emotional overwhelm :p I will say Snap has delighted me with yet another fantastic Sera alternate card art, and the new DLC for DLV has a super cozy bookish land added and a bunch of cute origami birds I'm chasing, new outfits make of book pages, book nooks scattered all over the place, etc. *burrows down in cozy*

+ Hmm not sure if I have it in me to try for #Rec-cember this year. But I rarely read fic and rec even rarer still. Boo me.

+ Enjoyed Agatha All Along, but there were some internal inconsistencies that kept me from falling into it fully (so so happy to see all the icons it's getting though, and that a queer witchy show got such strong ratings). Right now we've just started watching the Ronja Robbersdaughter series on Netflix. Only one episode in, but I like the cast and adore the setting. Mossy woods and creepy beings yay! Babylon 5 co-watch is plodding along, we saw 2x09 The Coming of Shadows yesterday. Seriously such a strong three episode streak that I've enjoyed tremendously.

+ Since I'm on my brother's infinite internet now, I dove right back into tumblr last night and gorged on fanart. The Interview With the Vampire fandom is eating good. I was going to continue, then remembered I haven't watched Arcane yet and got my butt out of there.

But lusting for more arts, today I make a BlueSky account: goodbyebird.bsky.social

It then immediately started showing internal server errors whoops I broke it

+ Um have some icons?

Fingers crossed for the health certificate! I think I must have missed something - did you have a health incident recently? I'm glad to hear things seem to be optimistic though.

Pretty icons!

My weight just kind of skyrocketed, and they're strict about that when you work at sea. It's looking like I'll be back working next year though :)

I'm glad you're able to go back to sea soon! <3

I head this SO MUCH. /o\

I did not know this existed. I am torn between childhood nostalgia, the fact that I am VERY critical of adaptations when I love the original, and the fact that there is already a movie...

The Interview With the Vampire fandom is eating good.
I watched 2 or 3 episodes and keep meaning to go back for more... (Dead Boy Detectives stole my entire heart and brain, but surely I can also make room for vampires?)

Ronja was one of my prime formative pieces of media, so I hear you. The adaptation is at least Swedish! Still on episode one, as I've been sick and we can only watch late at night when the other house is asleep, at which point my brain is done for the day. But I shall keep you updated!

idk these dramallama vampires do take up space *g*

Awww, I've watched the original when I was a child. And I loved it.
♥️

An absolute favorite of mine during my formative years. Give me a feral girl handling herself in the woods any day!

Oh yes! Then I realize I haven't actually posted anything in two weeks.

Whenever I see Rockstar Lestat fanart, I'm in awe of the pure talent in some fandoms. Obviously, there is other great fanart, but how they get so much out of this one teaser and make something that looks like it should be canon is astonishing. I just want S3 now!

Yes, Lestat seems to be on quite a rockstar fanart tour already!
