I have returned from my Tumblr rabbit hole to actually post something! It's good to be back!
I might be the least patriotic person I know (especially these days--do I really need to explain why?), but I hope my fellow American friends had a safe and happy holiday weekend. We did absolutely nothing to celebrate (not that there is anything to celebrate, in my opinion), which is exactly what I wanted. At the very least, I enjoyed my day off by playing Pokémon, reading, and taking a long nap.
Has anyone watched The Pitt? It's my newest hyperfixation, and the main reason I have stumbled back into my Tumblr rabbit hole. Dr. Mel King is the love of my life. I have neverever enjoyed a medical drama before, but there's something special about this one. The writing is brilliant. We can't all relate to being doctors or nurses, but I think we can all relate to waiting in an emergency room, or worrying about a loved one, or being frustrated with the state of our healthcare system. The more I work in veterinary medicine, the more I realize how connected we all are, and The Pitt is a beautiful reminder of that, too.
On an unrelated but very happy note: my coworkers were kind enough to throw me an early birthday celebration (I'm turning 33 this week, holy shit), and one of them baked a vegan cake! So, naturally, I am about to enjoy a piece of chocolate cake for breakfast. :3
Until next time,
ktea

I've finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!
( Spoilers up to the end of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. )
Overall verdict: what a game! The concept is interesting, the scenery is gorgeous, the battle system is fun and the soundtrack is absolutely extraordinary. I don't think it's a perfect game, but I think it comes very close.

Fanfiction: who you are and what you want (Deltarune, Kris/Noelle)

rionaleonhartwhooooo wants DISTRESSING SNOWGRAVE FANFICTION
For the moment, this fic is exclusively available on my blog! I'm holding off on posting this to AO3 until tomorrow, because a) AO3 is currently sorting out some bookmarking issues, and b) I suspect Americans are going to be Fourth of Julying instead of reading fanfiction. Consider this a sneak preview!
Title: who you are and what you want
Fandom: Deltarune
Rating: 14
Pairing: Kris/Noelle
Wordcount: 1,400
Summary: The soul can't take any action that hasn't crossed Kris's mind, apparently. So why does it keep treating Noelle like this?
Warnings: Spoilers for the Snowgrave route in Deltarune, up to chapter four. Intrusive thoughts. Deals heavily with consent issues, although there's no sexual contact in this fic.

Please let us talk to Kris, Deltarune. It's all I want.
It's very weird to write a fic in which one of the central characters is the player of the game! Obviously it's not possible to write a representation that reflects every player, so how do you approach it?
I've ended up writing someone who's not quite me, but who played the game in a similar way and holds similar attitudes towards it. Hopefully it'll ring reasonably true for other players, or at least not outright ring false. (With the possible exception of the part where I push my 'Kris has an unrequited crush on Noelle' agenda, because I could not resist.)
Title: Communication
Fandom: Deltarune
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 2,000
Summary: Kris has a conversation with the soul.
Warnings: Alludes to events and revelations from chapter four of Deltarune.

When I have a fic idea, I’ll usually scribble it down in the back of my diary. It’s time to switch diaries again, so it’s time for the annual fic concept roundup!
This post lists all the fic ideas at the back of my 2024-25 diary. If I’ve written the fic, I’ll include a link to it. If I’ve started the fic, I’ll share a snippet. If I haven’t started it, I’ll write at least a hundred words on the spot.
First of all, here are the fics I’ve written in full. (To be clear, this isn’t all the fics I’ve written over the past year; it’s just the ones I’d previously noted the idea for in my diary.) Fandoms: Scrubs, Danganronpa, Ace Attorney, Death Note, Omori, Better Half, Severance, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. There may be spoilers for these canons below the cut.
( Written fics from my 2024-25 diary. )
Next, let’s look at the works in progress (or at least the works that were started; I’m not sure they’re actively progressing). Fandoms: Death Note, Metaphor ReFantazio, Severance, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, Danganronpa. There may be spoilers for these canons below the cut.
( In-progress fics from my 2024-25 diary. )
Finally, it’s time for the fic ideas I haven’t touched and now have to write something for. This is always intimidating, but I’ll give it a go!
Fandoms: NEO: The World Ends with You, Severance, Death Note, Dexter, The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, Deltarune. There may be spoilers for these canons below the cut.
( 2024-25 fics I hadn't started... until now. )
As ever, I have no idea whether any of these will end up becoming full fics, but I’m glad to have written at least a little for each concept!
