H/C exchange signups have closed so it's stressful waiting for assignments/did I offer freeforms that will match something or not while panic time. (It will/should be fine, it's always fine, but STILL. Anxiety brain will anxiety brain.)

I tried and noped out of several C-ent things (among others, Maiden Holmes and Legend of Fei- which was highly rated but I'm going to assume a lot of that is due to the Wang Yibo affect because I was just SO very bored by it). Currently, I'm watching the Kdrama Ghost Doctor, I'm finding it very interesting just how much English keeps popping up- not only a lot of medical terms but also just random words and phrases. There was a little English here and there in the modern Cdramas I watched, but so much less.

I spent several weeks on a rug that just wasn't working so I pulled it out and began again with a slightly different pattern. We'll see if it works. The plan is to dye it when it's done since it's being made from a stained sheet, I wanted to see how dying the finished rug works vs dying the sheet and then turning it into a rug (which I've done before). Do I need another rug? No. But, whatever.

Sigh, 2 weeks of recthething recs (tumblr art for ST:VOY, Merlin, Star Wars, MDZS and WoH as well as MDZS/Untamed fic)

Tumblr art:
ST:VOY - Happy Threshold Day (in honor of the anniversary of the airing of "Threshold" aka the lizard baby episode)
Star Wars - han solo? best damn braider in the galaxy. he once braided an entire wookie in twelve [improper units of measurement] (an older comic but utterly hilarious)
Merlin - The last Dragonlord (fantastic painting quality to this with incredible lighting)
MDZS - what about those years in between (stunning and powerful LXC&LWJ art)
Word of Honor - ZZS/WKX warmup doodle that developed a life of it’s own (far too amazing to be considered a warmup doodle, NSWF)

Summary Snippet: Wei Wuxian tells Jin Ling about the people his parents were. (short, sweet and melancholic moment between WWX and Jin Ling)
Clothe Yourself in Beauty Untold by GhostySword (5.5k)
Summary Snippet: As a watchtower keeper, Lan Wangji has spent years alone with his memories and his view across the sea. When the long-missing Wei Wuxian stumbles up from the ocean, injured and hand in hand with a small child, Lan Wangji tries to understand their past and find a future. (short but tender selkie+modern cultivation AU)
some life yet unspent by Fahye (28k)
Summary: Lan Wangji wasn't privy to the conversations that took place among Yiling staff, but there was always an apologetic, tense edge to the tech's voice when someone else took over his missions. As if Wei Ying had put the fear of God into them if they let anything happen to Lan Wangji when Wei Ying was not personally available to oversee him. (absolutely excellent spies and secret agents AU)

I wanted to treat for H/C but I don't see anything that's calling my name. I hope you get a great assignment! :D

I enjoyed Maiden Holmes as a fun found family romp but I can see where it wouldn't be for everyone.

I never tried Legend of Fei but then I've never experienced the Wang Yibo affect. :D

Exchanges can always be a crapshoot as to if there's relevant requests or not. If you're in big enough fandoms (ah, how I miss the post-CA:TWS days and the Steve/Bucky era fandom) it's usually not an issue but for the smaller ones? Not the case.

I only watched 4 episodes of Legend of Fei - I suspect I'd have given it more of a chance if there were only 30 something episodes but there were 54 which was way too many and the pace far too slow.
