To-do lists & DS9
You know that feeling when RL stresses you out even though nothing is happening? Yeah. It might just be PMS, which I hope it is, but I've felt a bit overwhelmed for a while now and I'm hoping I can make it go away by slowly and steadily crossing things off my long, long to-do list. I just finished hemming a curtain, which has been languishing on said to-do list for ages, and omg, that serotonin boost of getting things done, how I've missed it!
I just spent the past ~2 hours listening to The Magnus Archives while rearranging my bookshelf. It looks much tidier now and I can find things more easily, plus I got rid of a bunch of old crap. 2022 is yet another year in which I will try to finish TMA, and I've started at S2 again to get back into the story.I finally want to read, and perhaps write, Jon/Martin fanfic, damn it.
Crafting-wise, I'm still knitting, though I'm doing my best to slow down and not strain myself (I've been having some hand/wrist issues for the past couple of months, 0/10 would not recommend). My perpetually-unfinished blue viscose sweater is stuck on Sleeve Island--I somehow decided I was going to make balloon sleeves and that's a lot of fabric I have to knit! It's going to be worth it in the end, I hope.
Another year of
getyourwordsout is looming™ ahead, and I've set myself the somewhat unrealistic lofty goal of 500k. I'm not at all sure if I can accomplish this, or even come close, but I did 350k in 2021, which went so smoothly that my gremlin brain has decided it wants a challenge. :'D My reasoning is, even if I don't write 500k in total, this will likely push me to produce more words than last year.
Civil Defense (3x07) has quickly become one of my favorite episodes to date. It had so many fantastic moments, including but not limited to Gul Dukat fidgeting awkwardly while the pre-recorded "shame on you for trying to escape the station" message played; Garak straight up marching into ops using an old access code (and the lovely ensuing Garashir moments); and the unparalleled delight of Dukat's flustered, scandalized "Garak!!" when Garak told him to stop thirsting over Kira. That was so beautiful. A moment for the ages. I laughed so hard I almost cried.
I'm not too sure what I think about the Kira/Odo developments. Seen through a platonic lens, I love the depth of their friendship for each other; romantically, I don't really know. I ship Odo/happiness so if Kira makes him happy, that's wonderful, but I guess I'm jaded from years of watching unsatisfying heterosexual relationships play out on TV. I'm hoping for great character development though.
The moment in Heart of Stone (3x14) where the cave was going to collapse & Odo shapeshifted into a protective dome above Kira (or who he thought was Kira, at any rate) was SO COOL. I absolutely crave more shapeshifting stuff like that. They cannot go too hard on the body horror where my Odo feels are concerned (I'm sure they won't, but a girl can hope).
