Turing Machine board game with a Cdrama?-based figurine as adornment

[personal profile] sovay! I picked up Turing Machine, which is a cryptology-themed board game (including a solo mode!). I will report back! I'm curious as to whether having just enough number theory to be dangerous (to myself) is an advantage or a detriment in gameplay. :3

(I suspect my mom would destroy this in three minutes. She did punch-card programming in uni and she can take an Rubik's Cube in any state and solve it in 5 seconds no matter how many times six-year-old Yoon :kof: tried to mess it up for her. XD )

A photograph of the ocean at sunset or sunrise with the text: Amnesty, at Fancake. The sky is a soft purple-pink with a scattering of small puffy clouds that are a darker purple than the sky around them. The sun is a white-orange dot hanging an inch above the horizon. The water is a deep purple, and then, in the foreground, a frothy periwinkle where its waves roll up onto the shore.
[community profile] fancake is a thematic recommendation community where all members are welcome to post recs, and fanworks of all shapes and sizes are accepted. Check out the community guidelines for the full set of rules.

This theme runs for the entire month. If you have any questions, just ask!

Hugs are great. I wrote like 50k words worth of 'em during the lockdowns XD So the Blotbo Gets A Hug exchange concept thrilled me and fell just at the right time, too. And loadsa BNHA people joined! I wrote a few treats!

Thawing (400 words, Endeavor/Hawks, rated T). Dreamwidth | AO3
Summary: Hawks is freezing after flying at high altitude without his jacket. He doubts Endeavor would accept to warm him up, but who is he to ever resist an invitation to tease the hero?

Glimpse of the future (Hawks & Hawks, 550 words, rated T). Dreamwidth | AO3
Summary: Hawks falls from the sky. Who can catch him?

Vulnerable (Dabi/Hawks, 500 words, rated T) Dreamwidth | AO3
Summary: Vulnerabilities? Of course! Hawks' happy to share any, both fake or real, as long as he gets to handpick and angle them for maximum impact with minimum damage to himself.
This is not it.

Into a shadowy cocoon (Tokoyami/Hawks, 500 words, rated G) Dreamwidth | AO3
Summary: Hawks is sprawled on his desk, fast asleep, a frown creasing his forehead. Fumikage presses against it to smooth it. Hawks' eyebrows twitch then he relaxes fully, his breathing evening out further. If only removing the worry and pain from Hawks' life always worked out that easily.

Indirectly (Shirakumo & Sushi the Cat, 335 words, rated G) Dreamwidth | AO3
Summary: Cats were always a bit supernatural, and Oboro's never been more grateful for it.

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, safe, and loving holiday season. I apologise for not being as active as I was in past years, it's not because I don’t want to give, it's just that I can’t afford to. My small govt invalids benefit doesn’t leave much extra and most goes toward my cat’s arthritis medications, but anything I am able to gift will be given with love and kindness 🥰
I apologise for the items on my list, but shipping to NZ is my nemesis, so I must throw myself upon the kindness of kind strangers 💙
I’m a Starfleet Science Officer in Starfleet Internaional, I’m a Druidess, I’m a newly minted Priestess of Bast (I completed my training a few days ago 🐱), I’m a Jedi Knight, and I'm a Ravenclaw. I celebrate Yule, Winter Solstice, Catmas, Trekmas, Sithmas, and any other -mas, even Krampus and the Yule Cat, also Star Wars Life Day on Nov. 17th (two days after my birthday)


01. Holiday Cards
Generic non-religious cards are fine, but any with cats, space, dinosaurs, fandom-related, Godzilla, or anything from the following list would be amazing, thank you <3
Yule
Jólakötturinn the Yule Cat
Winter Solstice
Summer Solstice (being in the Southern Hemisphere)
Catmas
Trekmas
Sithmas
Krampus
Moomas

02. Cricut Deluxe Scrapbook Paper Disney Star Wars 12x12¨ New - Lot of 3
I’m trying to get into fandom junk journaling but fandom paper is so hard to find and very expensive *sigh* these are so beautiful, but the shipping to NZ is so expensive *cries*
https://www.ebay.com/itm/196819635024

03. Magical Kitties Save the Day Deluxe Box Set
I need this board game with cats =>.<=

04. Magical Kitties Hometown Adventure Books
A continuation of the above request, these are the stand alone adventure books.

05. Phases of the Cat Moon Altar Cloth 36"
I’ve been coveting this altar cloth for so long, but shipping to NZ has kept me from acquiring it *more sighing*

09. Star Wars Sequels Care Package
https://sites.google.com/site/randomshitisrandom/fandom-letter/star-wars-care-package-request
I have ALWAYS wanted to be the lucky recipient of a Care Package, they always look totally amazing and cool <
For this gift the contents could be digital, physical, or a mix of both! I don’t really mind as long as it is private and just for me (if you need my physical address just send me a message)
My favourite Star Wars character is Ben Solo. I ship Rey/Ben. I also ship Han/Leia and Finn/Poe, but my primary and most loved ship will always be Rey/Ben (which sucks because I waited five long years to see the last movie and managed to not get spoiled about what happened to Ben *cries* OMG I need a fix-it fic so bad)
Care Package Suggestions/Ideas: fanmixes or playlists, fanart (digital or hand-drawn), lightsabers (real, toy, blueprints, art, books), books (non-fiction, pop-up, craft), stickers, temporary tattoos, funko pops (see care package page for what I already own), Lego mini-figs, comfort letters from a character, a Ben Solo or Rey/Ben junk journal (writing, art, painting, decoupage, ephemera, character quotes, whatever you want to slap in it), snail mail fanfiction (printed, typed, handwritten in a journal/notebook), plushies, character Tooka dolls, Christmas ornaments (handmade or bought), Star Wars cootie catcher, romance novels with a character who looks like or is similar to Adam Driver characters (my favourites are Star Wars, 65, and Logan Lucky), Star Wars Life Day celebration stuff, Sithmas goodies, advent calendar, etc etc etc
The ideas for a care package are endless and awesome so go crazy, whatever you want to put in it will be amazing 😻
Allergies: most foods, every kind of make up and perfume (basically, if it touches skin, I’m allergic to it), anything with a strong smell (I have asthma), loose glitter (my cat might eat it), piercings.
(I know it’s an odd thing to request, but Star Wars was my other form of emotional support during this year and the loss of Ben affected me more than any other character since Daniel Jackson).

10. Gift Cards
Amazon, Etsy, or Perfect World/Arc (to use in the Star Trek Online PC Game)

If you have any questions, need additional information or just my snail mail address, you can contact me at either of these emails or by PM @ LJ/DW, you don’t have to tell me why you need my address or details if you want to surprise me.

Fancy Rats Part 7 and 8

At last we've reached the final rats!

Part 7 rats )

And those are the Part 7 moods! The asterisk by Nostalgic is because my original plan (and as is still reflected in the custom mood theme I have set up for myself), I was just going to use one of the options from Geeky, Nerdy, and Dorky; they cover a lot of the same ground, it's fine! Only then, uh. My Fancy Rats got approved to be an official Dreamwidth site-supported mood theme?! So I had to come up with some alternate versions that didn't involve other peoples' IP in a hurry 😂 Anyway, it was just in the latest site code tour, so it'll be going live real soon now (along with some jellyfish I made for funsies), so like. Keep an eye out for that in the next site update!

All of that means that I'm going to go ahead and share my Part 8 moods early; I was originally going to wait until the final break, just to keep things consistent, but uh. Well. With any luck, the moods will be live for everyone by then anyway, so why wait?

Part 8 rats )

I think that's all I have to say for these moods right now; I'm super looking forward to them going live!

As a reminder, anyone who wants to is welcome to use any of them as icons, just remember to credit me somewhere. I'm planning to put up a formal download link for the whole mood theme, alternate versions included, after Part 8 is officially over. Yay, rats! Yay, Dreamwidth! Yaaaaay!

Writing Thoughts

grayestofghosts: (Viktor)
[personal profile] grayestofghosts
I am still working on the same novel, but I guess since the election and the direction the country is going, I am wondering what or how this work will be distributed, if I have the chance to distribute at all. I still have dreams of trad pub but a lot of that is because, well, I would like a professional clean-up to work with me, of course, and also the covers and whatever are so much nicer than POD and whatever. But, you know. I don't know. It's hard to say anymore.

I was reading a book that was apparently published in 2023 and it makes me think about how basic the understanding of most non-cis people are in fiction even though like, the portrayal was not offensive or clearly wrong. And how you get things like in Arcane the implications of say Viktor being transcoded in various ways but had the narrative made him explicitly trans, the narrative would have inevitably diminished him, and it's not just because the show has worldwide release. It's just... frustrating. I don't know.

I should write harder, I should post about the last two books I read, etc. I think it is easy to get lost in crafting because it's so much easier than the other things I do on my brain. But the other stuff is worth doing BECAUSE it's hard, etc.

Some days, it's the chin that's just irresistably tempting. It can be petted, but not for long-those lovely floppy paws have a lightning trigger
Purrcy the tuxedo tabby lies on his back and stretches his neck out as he looks away toward the window, presenting a long long throat and chin area for possible scritching. His whiskers are looking pretty magnificent too

(Need to post more of these more often until I get caught up...)


Picked a vibrant jellyfish [not really a fish] for this week. Not a usual color scheme for me!

I spent a good chunk of this week sick, and that was kind of a damper on the rest of it. Otherwise it was... fine. I struggled with a general feeling of not caring about much, not wanting to do anything, feeling like things were just pointless in general. I didn't get caught up on writing, which was in part due to being sick. I did get a good amount of reading done, almost getting through part 2 of Absolution. I was glad to get my overdue shots. So... kind of a mixed bag of a week.

Goals for the week:

  • I did get my covid and flu shots
  • I read more of Absolution
  • I figured out my writing plans, even if I didn't do great at executing them
  • I did not catch up on Novella November
  • I did not set up my phone
  • I did get crickets

Tracked habits:

  • Work - 4/7 - I stayed home sick on Thursday
  • Household Maintenance - 3/7
  • Physical Activity - 2/7
  • Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 3/7, all over 1000 words
  • Wrote on 2nd+ Draft - 0/7
  • Meta Work - 5/7
  • Personal Writing - 3/7
  • Other Creative Things - 0/7
  • Reading - 7/7 - mostly on Absolution but I read some of my ebook, and Alex and I read a bit of Infernal City too
  • Attention to Media - 7/7 - Sunday we watched The Birds and the finale of Parks and Rec; Monday we watched IT: Chapter 2; Tuesday we half-re-watched The Quiet Place Part 2 and The Babadook; Wednesday rewatched Ouija which still was pretty meh; Thursday we rewatched Ouija: Origin of Evil the much better prequel, and then Aftermath which was also still meh; Friday we rewatched the mediocre Abandoned and then the fairly good first Fear Street movie; Saturday we watched Abbott Elementary and then I fell asleep after we started 20/20.
  • Video Games - 0/7
  • Social Interaction - 3/7

Total words written: 5266 words, between meta stuff and my current story

ysabetwordsmith: Text says New Year Resolutions on notebook (resolutions)
[personal profile] ysabetwordsmith posting in [site community profile] dw_community_promo
[community profile] goals_on_dw is a new community for people who like goals and goal setting. A key focus will be New Year's resolutions, that being among the most popular contexts for such activities. Although the most common time is January 1, "new year" can also refer to other calendars or cultures, whatever works for you. Alternatively, just pick a time that works for you and go for it. You can introduce yourself or make new friends here.

We will talk about different goal systems, pros and cons of resolutions, arts and crafts for tracking goals, human psychology, and more. You can share your resolutions or other goals. There will be check-in posts in January for folks to talk about their accomplishments.

For more details, see "Things You Can Talk About Here."
