Happy New Year! (Bubble gets an encore this year. ;) )

This year, I'd like to slowly get back into writing. I've signed up for

getyourwordsout again, I've placed a claim over at

1character, and I've signed up for

candyheartsex, hoping to get some inspiration flowing. I've also resurrected my writeblr, though all I have there now is a reblogged list of references.

Last year, I managed to write a little over 11k words, which surprised me; so if I could manage that in a year like 2025, I feel like I can at least match that this year.

In one of my previous posts, I also wished for a new media obsession, and I kinda-sorta found one, though I would say "obsession" is a rather strong word for it. I had seen several people on my Bluesky feed gushing about The Amazing Digital Circus, and I decided to check it out. On a cursory glance, I assumed it would be as absurdist as its character designs and probably insufferably edgy, but I am happy to say it proved me wrong! I think the characters are written very well, and the story has me hooked. I am also now emotionally invested in a sentient chess piece, thank you very much, Gooseworx.

But, Jax, in addition to being my least favorite character, is also obviously fangirl catnip, so I will be avoiding the fandom in general and just enjoying the show for what it is. (I learned my lesson with Aggretsuko.)

I don't know if it's just a side effect of getting older, but I really have lost patience with characters that are cynical/edgy/too-cool-for-you. In the case of Jax, it's obvious that there is something he's trying to hide or deny, and I am interested in his character in that respect. But he's just so needlessly mean to the others (especially poor Gangle!) that I can't be bothered to actually like him. /rant

So, at least I've got a few things going for the start of the year, and hey, I already survived the first day of 2026! Hooray for small victories! :D
