Timeless!! And Whatnot!!

The Timeless finale just aired and it was SO good! Seriously, a hundred times better than I'd ever hoped it would be. TPTB really figured out what would make a good story and how they could tie up everything and took the opportunity of the final movie to really gave the fans a perfect send off. I am honestly surprised how well it all worked. :)

Ooh, a bit back I watched and loved Netflix's "The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell" (trailer is on youtube here) which is only 6 half hour episodes long and part cooking show/part monster/creature quirky... thing. It was made in conjunction with Henson entertainment (of muppets fame) and the characters are Christine who is a kind and quirky human baker, Rankle the mummy of an Egyptian cat she reanimated, Rosie the raccoon/cat/something animal she Frankensteined together, Edgar the werewolf and Bernard... the thing(?) that lives in the basement. It's definitely weird, but adorable. Go try it out if you have it available to you.

Other TV-wise, Voltron S8 dropped and I started watching but just couldn't get into it. I always found it fun enough and a little nostalgic as I remember loving the original way back when, but between terrible internet and maybe a little burnout on the show I decided to put it aside and I'll pick it up later.

Comcast has been so bad lately. Ugh. Sometimes it's fine but othertimes I can't get on IRC at all (not that yuletide's has been remotely active lately) and loading tumblr takes forever, if it'll even work. *sigh* I haven't checked out any of the dreamwidth friending memes as a result or tried to get on pillowfort either. It looks like the [community profile] snowflake_challenge will be running again in January. That should be fun.

I didn't back up my tumblr. Not sure I would have even if my internet was behaving since it's just 75% cute animals, 5% science, 5% fannish gifsets, 5% feel good stories with majority of the rest being writing/research resources and random stuff. I did, when the internet allowed me, go through my writing resource links and try to save what I could to the wayback machine. A few links were already dead, but I did manage to back up several so that's something at least.

It's almost time for Yuletide!! I met my person goal for treat writing which I'm really happy about. I'd like to manage one or two more, but despite trying a bunch of new fandoms, I haven't found many I can a) write in and b) fill the requests for. *sigh* Maybe I'll still manage something.

Timeless! I'm glad it's good - hasn't even started over here yet - or if it has, I missed it somewhere!

Ah, right! I shall have a good old search for it. It must be available somewhere - it's just a matter of knowing where to search!

Yay for making your goal!

Were you banned on tumblr or planning on deleting it?

I heard because even the most innocent of posts were getting flagged and people who didn't post NSFW at all were getting banned because of antis mass reporting and tumblr's bots not looking beyond the fact that it was reported. I haven't used my personal tumblr in ages and that was mostly for cat pictures and the Not Prime Time tumblr was mostly announcements/advertisements, so I'm not bothered if I lose any of that.
