It occurred to me yesterday that Christmas is in less than two weeks (??!) and I have done very little in terms of preparations so far, so today I went shopping for Christmas cards & dropped off my best friend's gift in the mail. I've honestly been feeling quite stressed but I hope that'll lessen once I start sending out these cards.

I'm going to spend the 24th with my lovely roommate! We're gonna do a Lord of the Rings marathon--we'll watch all 3 extended versions back-to-back. That'll keep us busy for sure. Then on the 25th my mom is picking me up for a Christmas lunch with my parents, my nephew, and my parents' BFF. I feel conflicted about it. On the one hand it's ~tradition~, but on the other... stuff that involves my parents is always really hard on me, especially around the holidays. I just hope I'll get through it relatively unscathed.

On Monday night I finished Prey and I just
  • What the fuck
That is all. -- At least some of my questions were answered in the end! I've been reading Reddit in an effort to better understand all the subtleties I missed & I think I now have a vague idea of what was going on. I also went into the AO3 tag and discovered to my horror that there's not a single Morgan/Jason fic out there! Now I have to write my thing. I've also got to buy the Mooncrash DLC asap. I heard we're gonna get to know another member of the Yu family & I'm really looking forward to meeting them, whoever they may be.

I've been thinking about maybe making a WIP post where I ramble a bit about the fics I'm currently writing. I tend to be fairly withdrawn and insular about my favorite hobby, which is a bit sad--I'm so envious of writers who can just... talk about their WIPs, damn it. I tried to chat about writing on my Tumblr but that website in general just tends to give me that dreaded AllByMyself.mp3 feeling because I know how quickly posts can get buried in a deluge of reblogs. So I'm hoping that DW is more suited to my blogging style. I have a lot of WIPs so that'd be quite a huge post, haha.

My To Do list for the weekend includes:
  • write Christmas cards
  • LAUNDRY
  • work on some fics
  • start replaying Prey as female Morgan
  • play Overwatch
  • maybe cook
  • make birthday plans

Hiii new followers! ♥ I participated in [personal profile] snickfic's Multifandom Friending Meme and I'm really excited to have some new mutuals. Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay--there isn't much here yet, but I hope to get back into the habit of blogging and posting about writing and fandom.

I've spent pretty much all weekend playing Prey. I'm not surprised by how much I'm enjoying it because it's by Arkane Studios, who also made Dishonored, which may be my favorite video game of all time. But seriously, it is so fucking fantastic. I love almost everything about it! Spoilery rambling - no endgame spoilers though )

The main reason why I'm so excited about Prey is that I acquired a ship along the way: I ship Morgan with his assistant, Jason Chang. :3 We know almost nothing about Jason, except for the fact that he thought Morgan was hot regardless of gender (agreed), that they were on first-name basis--a big deal tbh, considering that Morgan is TranStar's Director of Research--and that Jason was an attentive and reliable assistant.

Just, oh my God, I am so ready to write an OFFICE ROMANCE with unexpected SINISTER UNDERTONES as Morgan changes, with Jason being very confused but trying to be supportive. And like--late night work shenanigans! Jason running into Morgan in the fitness center! Sitting down for a round of chess in the rec room! Inadvisable office sex! Christmas on Talos I! AHHH.

I just love them a lot. I've started writing a thing, but I also have 800 other WIPs to tend to first. :D
