fandom

Fandom is rather funny. Isn’t that how it goes?

a full suit of armour, and evening stars…

I am now officially double-vaxxed! What a relief. It hurts rather dreadfully to raise my arm, and I am not looking forwards to the further oncoming post-vax symptoms, but I dare say it’s better than enduring COVID-19! This also means I’m free to roam about, now (with a mask, of course). Not that I have overmuch of a need or want to do so, as of late, but still…the option is there if I need to take it.

In website news, I gave Evenstar — pka Vespera — the biggest overhaul of its coming-up-to-twenty-year life on Professor Tolkien’s birthday! New name, new layout, new address (…or an old address, if you’ve known me long enough ;P), new content, new affiliate…new, new, new! I’m astonished it’s still around, to be absolutely honest. The only websites I run that are older than Evenstar are Runaway Run (on indefinite hiatus) and World Spins Madly On (being pieced back together as we speak…and also pending a huge update for its own 20th anniversary, come late February).

I also think it’s the only non-abandoned Arwen fansite left on the web…the oldest and the last. It’s quite a melancholy thought, but it’s appropriate, in a sad way…

Yuquain yéni ar nótarië, húnir. 😛

eat, sleep, and eat…many souls

…apparently it’s perfectly normal in addiction recovery to face, like…literally mind-numbing boredom. that’s…I mean, great to know and all, but ugh, really? when all my creative stuff is still in three million boxes and I’m in frequent pain to boot? it’s also really, really annoying to know that my addiction recovery from xanax is like…a forever thing. I’m always going to be in recovery, never recovered.

so! my extra moneys arrived today, and i got my paws on that Ken+Youji cel w/ background and a wonderfully kept copy of the WK tarot. worth every penny, and the fact that I’m buying it off ‘Yueki’ of Kuro Koneko, a site I spent literal hours on back in the day, will never not amuse me. this is on top of the ceramic container, metal bookmarks, and cute sticky note set that I bought on tuesday. I hope they get here soon, but lately, AusPost + USPS is like…a recipe in why even bother. soooo tempted to put my remain dosh towards the Youji and Omi+Youji cel I’ve been eyeing, but I might leave that ’til next payday, just in case.

oh yes, the wigs for my new customs arrived, and…they didn’t fit too well. smallish 1/3rds, I suppose. it was just a matter of unpicking the elastic around the back of the wig cap, but they’re still a little precariously placed on Pullip heads. suppose I’d better make one of those velcro wig-snap things…whenever my sewing box gets opened properly.

I need my goddamn studio back already. I’m actually going crazy. crazier. I’m literally so bored I think I’m going to bed. you can’t be asleep and bored!

…god knows my brain would give it a go, though. -_-;
