Edit: My phone has been resuscitated. It still probably needs replacing soon, but it's nice that I can have a chance at making sure the stuff that should get backed up is actually backed up, etc. There is a plan for this to happen, but I am so relieved that it isn't urgent.

So here is my account of the annoying 24 hours I just had.

stuff to read before bed
audiobooks/podcasts to fall asleep to/keep me company when I wake up in the middle of the night
the weather app
checking how badly the Twins lost last night
going to the gym (needs an app) (not that I've had time to go to the gym yet, but knowing that I couldn't -- without trying to get the silent young people behind the desk to help me anyway -- still made me sad)
reading my DW circle! it's so busy lately with 3weeks4dreamwidth hooray, but I feel so out of touch!
podcasts to keep me company while I brush my teeth, empty the dishwasher, make tea
very easy game to play as a like a fidget toy
messaging the group chat that provides most of my social life these days
checking my e-mail
looking up a thing
taking a picture of a silly thing for social media
social media
looking up another thing
podcasts to keep me company
messaging the people in my house about tea etc.
telling the time
reading that tab I had open
adding something to the shopping list
planning when to leave the house to get the bus to transgym
checking I had booked for transgym
writing an e-mail
social media
texting the neighbor about walking Teddy
podcasts
reading my library (audio)book, via the Libby app
calling the doctor to make an appointment
trying the terrible NHS App to see if I can get an appointment (it's not urgent I just keep forgetting to make it)
two-factor authentication (luckily I could opt for an e-mail to be sent to me instead)
using the camera to zoom in on stuff that I can't see properly (like what signs say)

I'm so tired.

Current Mood: still waking up

Job hunt progress: rejected for every job I applied for so far!
- Have been asked for questions in advance, and oh my god I am never going back. How did I live without knowing what I'd be walking into with interviews. Why would anyone ever not give the questions in advance so they could decent, well-thought out answers.
- Had an interview at the start of the month where I asked what the team culture was like (meaning: how are the vibes), and the interviewer's response was "Well, Sam's Chinese...?"
- Had an interview last week and I think it went okay – the interview I had in March I was like "I am 100% not getting this job," the one at the start of the month I was like "I 100% do not want this job," and this one I'm like "If I get it that will be nice, if I don't I will survive." But I asked the interviewer if this was a quiet period for them, because the advert said "Busy, fast-paced environment!" and it looked fairly chill to me.
  
  "Oh, we don't have a quiet period! We see 600 people every week!"
  
  Me, working in a building where I can see that many people in an hour:
- Interviewer asked about how I'd handle a colleague who wasn't pulling their weight, and I gave my proper answer, then followed up with "And what I don't do is complain to other coworkers or do passive-aggressive petty things because I'm frustrated!"
  
  Interviewer: There's a story there, isn't there?
- (Update: I didn't get the job, but they said I had a lovely personality and it was a really enjoyable interview, so I'll take what I can get?)
- Job hunting while I'm in the middle of a slow-motion menty-b is fun! I am a tired, mentally ill slug, except for the half an hour where I have to sparkle my very hardest for complete strangers!

Work drama is fun! Someone leaked an upcoming Stupid Decision to the press, and the person in charge is furious! (Obviously we are all collectively popcorn gifs.) One of the sites I work at is closed because raw sewage leaked into the building and shorted the fire alarm system. The project I was really excited to work on has been cancelled. Five people have left in the last month and more people are job hunting. It's all going great.

Joined a D&D game with some of Lex's work friends, and last session everyone got to do cool things like "put the fear of [tiefling character] into a god" and "kill a god"! And my contribution was solo-ing a ginormous undead kraken by casting Turn/Sear Undead and making it leave the combat.

(We were fighting a god of the ocean and some bright spark decided we should fight them at sea. Why? I still don't know.)

Low-key obsessing over Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and I need my library to spit out the next few volumes immediately plskbai.

( The Ninfarium )

Dear writers/localizers for Duet Night Abyss: was the term "Filthoids" really the best name you could use to describe your game's Heartless-type monsters? That sounds like something you'd hear in a C-grade horror movie or a B-grade school comedy from the '80s!

Here is the sign-up form. Welcome to this year's challenge! Sign-ups will close at 11:59pm EDT, Saturday 9 May.

You can request 3-10 canons, and offer 3-10 canons. If a canon doesn't appear in the drop-down menu when you go to enter it, you can copy and paste it from the tag set and press enter.

Each of your requests and offers must be tagged with 1-3 of the labels "Fanfiction", "Podfic", and "Fanart".

Your requests have a space for optional details. Go ahead and use them to talk about how you understand the song and what kind of art/fic/podfic you might like. However, your gift creator doesn't have to follow your prompts. They do have to respect clear and specific Do-Not-Wants listed in the sign-up (like "no pregnancy" "no scat" "no rainbows").

If you are requesting Podficcer's Choice of Fandom, it's up to a podfic artist what work they choose to record, though you are welcome to include likes and DNWs to inspire their choice.

Your requests have a space for a letter link, if you want to provide one. This link must be included before sign-ups are closed. If you are writing a letter, please have it complete and unlocked by the end of 13 May.

Opting in to treats: Please state if your AO3 preferences are set to allow you to receive treats or if you have this setting disabled. Include a statement in your optional details like Treats welcome or I have opted in to treats (or Treats disabled if true).

Podfic offering options

If you are offering podfic for a song or music video in the tag set, you are pledging to create both text and recording (500-5000 words). You are welcome to team up with a friend to create a work, whether you're the recording artist or the writer, but if that's what you intend, please contact us at jukebox.mod@gmail.com to let us know of the arrangement and to provide a contact email for your friend.

If you are offering podfic in combination with "Podficcer's Choice of Fandom", you are pledging to create a recording of a pre-existing song/MV fanwork, using your recipient's DNWs and general likes as guidance for your choice of fanwork. If this is the only thing you wish to match on, please say so in the Notes to Mods field so we don't accidentally send you a request where you have to write a story as well. Please make sure we can get in contact with you - ie, do you use the email account associated with your AO3 account? If not, please email us directly (jukebox.mod@gmail.com).

Notes to Mod in Offers

These are confidential notes where you can tell the mods (Minutia_R and Morbane) if you want to match in specific ways - for example, if you want to match on one request more than the others, or want to be assigned a recipient who has a letter. If you are a podfic artist who has to offer 3 fandoms but only wants to match on Podficcer's Choice of Fandom, please use Notes to Mods to say so. (Please don't tell us things like "I will not create anything in my DNWs" - if required to closely compare your own preferences and your potential recipients' preferences, we may miss something. Specific names, or anything we can quickly check, are fine.)

In recent years, AO3 has implemented a blocking feature - see AO3 news posts here, here, and here. This does not affect challenge matching, ie, someone you've blocked can still match to you. So if you have another participant blocked or they have blocked you, please use your offers and requests, your notes to mods, or both, to help us help you avoid interactions with them.

You can comment here or contact us at jukebox.mod@gmail.com if you have any questions about signing up.

Again, welcome!!

NB: Normally, we get the reference tables of all songs & music videos & lyrics up just before sign-ups. Unfortunately, I'm a little behind this year, so that will go up during the sign-up period. If you nominated, your links are still very welcome at this post and will help us complete the tables.

This house, close to the castle and next to the Holy Rude (as you'd expect from The Earl of Mar, a senior noble) was destroyed during the civil wars.

And this was Cowane's house (he of the hospital). You can see the difference between a noble's house and a wealthy merchant's house.

Not much today because a good portion of the day was spent getting ready to go back home and then getting there, but YAY I'M HOME! I had a fun "vacation" with the dog, but glad to be back in my own space.

1. one creative thing I did today

Worked on a swatch for a knitted tee. Just a row or two, but I touched it.

When I got home, I did some searching on Ravelry to find something for a Nerdopolis challenge. For those new around here: Nerdopolis is a crafting tournament in which we get themes to craft to. One of the themes this month is "deep space objects", so I've been looking for stuff that is reminiscent of spiral galaxies.

I found a great hat that I wanted to knit, but (a) I wasn't sure I'd have time because it was densely knit worsted weight AND double-layered, (b) I went to purchase it and it said "This designer is not taking payments at this time." Tried their Etsy store, and it's closed. Ah, well. I had previously started a crocheted doily that I might finish, but I wasn't digging it, so I dunno. The end of round is coming, though, so I'll need to make SOMETHING.

2. one thing I'm proud of today

I cleaned the house before I left, to my satisfaction. Also left a note to say how good the dog was, here's some things they should know about, and thanking them for trusting me with their home and dog.

3. video game progress

I logged into FFXIV just so my console would be ON (I had shut it down completely before I left), which meant I did the PlayStation 5 OS upgrade and new TOS agreement. Now the console is asleep, or will be soon. I'm purposely leaving it sleeping so when patch hits tomorrow night, it gets updated and I won't have to wait for it before I play on Tuesday morning. I didn't do much in game, just checked retainers (they sold a bunch of things! That's what happens when you don't log in for over a week) and spent some poetics on HW relic materials.

and that's it for today.

Current Mood: pleased

For a more detailed explanation of what media counts as 'idol' or 'idol-adjacent', check out our rules post.

We also have a friending meme as well as some low-pressure community events if that piques your interest (mostly for recs so far but there may be more in the future).

[Previous]

Chapter 23: Lol at Misa being the token het. Exam season is coming and Nobara has deplorable grades;;

Chapter 24: Nobara has unexpected strong points, English and Italian.

Yukino introducing Nobara to dagashi (cheap sweets). 😂 Cheap doesn't always mean nasty, thankfully.

So sweeet, more than the snacks, Nobara wants to go out with Yukino.

Chapter 25: Yukino and Ookami made top 20 on the exams!

Lmao at Okisaki getting jealous over Kinoshita's roommate (I forgot her name).

Aw Nobara got slightly above average. <3

Chapter 26: Casual clothes!!

Sounds like Ookami's parents are absent. I nearly teared up when Yukino invited her to have her birthday over summer break at her place. Yes!! And they'll go to a festival too!!! This is healing my soul.

Chapter 27: Aw, Botan got into dagashi because of Nobara sharing after Yukino told her to try. <3

Chapter 28-29: Summer vacay and camps. Lol at Yukino's tomato shirt. Nobara charging up on Yukino so they won't see each for five days. 🥹

...Except they somehow got booked at the same place. *side-eyes Okisaki*

Chapter 30: Finally some info on Kinoshita and Okisaki. They were childhood friends. Okisaki's parents were absent and she couldn't trust kids who tried to befriend her because their parents forced them. People found her creepy because she acted older than her age and didn't show much emotion. She also has a sadistic side that likes to see Kinoshita suffer sometimes...
