 Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk, Episode 7 |
The current season is 2/3 of the way complete – and my watch schedule hasn’t gone as planned. Somehow I seem to be making less time to watch anime than I did when I was employed. Some of this is due to house projects – some due to spending a lot more time in manga. However, I do watch enough anime to be constantly entertained – and that’s what it’s all about.
And the top three shows that I’m following are:
- Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk
- Always a Catch!
- An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess
( Notes on All the Shows I’m Watching )
I know I set my alarm last night, and I don't remember turning it off this morning, but I must have because when I got out of bed, it was almost 9:30. I didn't panic because I prepared for this with canned coffee in the fridge and protein bars in the cupboard. I didn't panic when I got pretty well soaked by the rain, either, since I knew I'd be coming back to my place to strip off the wet clothes and do laundry.
Similarly, I've got sauteed zucchini in the fridge for upcoming breakfasts, and I'll soon put some beans on to soak to cook tomorrow. It's a bit of a domino effect and a commitment to a given outcome, and it's more of the same planning and anticipating. I don't know how much I'll be able to get done this week on assorted projects and tasks, but I'll be ready to get rid of excuses.

Can LSD Do This? (And If Not, Are There Any Hallucinogens That Can?)

little_detailsMy Extremely Square ass is writing a scene where a character does LSD, and they (AMAB NB) hallucinate seeing and fusing with a female version of themself- for the rest of the trip, their proprioception/body map is altered so that they feel as though they have a more "female" body shape (eg, breasts, wider hips).
My question is in the title- is fucking with the body's proprioception/body map/sense of touch in this way something LSD can do? Also, the contents of the trip are kind of plot-relevant, so if LSD can't actually do this, are there any hallucinogens that can (and that people take recreationally/Actually Enjoy Tripping On)?
Thanks!

Tell me a favorite trope you have, and I will tell you if I embrace it, reject it, or subvert it... and possibly why.

Edit: Ok, another crap idea. Axing it. Got it. Thanks.
Context for this wee scene - shift handover between bodyguards, 1st speaker has drugged their boss because his gambling was out of control. Can't find the right search string to get around medical advice on mild sleeping pill sedatives etc, but I think diazepam probably isn't strong enough? Or maybe it is, or maybe only if enough is administered it would cause other problems. Not that anyone is particularly worried about an overdose but the scene is rather early in the novel for that to happen.
“You’re in for a rough day once he wakes up.”
“How bad did he lose?”
“I spiked his drink at 750,000 bhat.”
Pod shakes his head.
“We could just not let him wake up. Keep feeding him diazepam until we’re ready to deal with him again.”
“Is that what you gave him?”
“Rohypnol first, and GHB to mess with his memory. Diazepam cause we got home at 4 and I wanted the rest of the night off.”

Thank you for creating something for me! I love horror. 😊 I am good with all kinds of endings for horror stories, from everyone safe and whole, to grim but hopeful, to the bleakest of the bleak. For the horror subgenres, feel free to take them as suggestions, but don’t worry about whether your work fits exactly into one of them. The prompts are also just suggestions; feel free to go in another direction that fits the tags if you think I would like it.
I would be happy for both fic and art treats for any request, including requests where I only request one medium.

I have photos from my June desk calendar!
And a close-up on the collage from the first week because I'm just so please with it:

Given my mum is about to arrive for an extended visit, I think it's highly unlikely that I will finish any more TV shows before the end of the month, so let's have the May wrap-up a week early! I finished three shows this month, and they were:
Miss Scarlet, a mystery series set in Victorian England in which the eponymous heroine works as a private detective, solving crimes alongside an array of allies and sidekicks, including a police inspector from Scotland Yard. This is silly, inoffensive fun — the sort of thing that doesn't challenge the brain much, in which the culprit is usually obvious from about ten minutes into each episode — perfect frothy Sunday night fare.
Season 2 of Deadloch, the comedic Australian crime drama. This one sees lesbian policewoman Dulcie ditch the eponymous Tasmanian small town of Season 1, and head to the Northern Territory to join the other half of her odd couple buddy cop duo, accompanied by her wife, and travelling in a campervan. Chaos, against a background of every Top End cliché imaginable, ensues, as various seemingly unconnected mysteries slowly reveal themselves to be interwoven. The humour, if anything, is even less subtle than in the previous season, and I feel that it's essentially making fun of the stereotypes the rest of us Australians hold about the remote parts of the Northern Territory (crocodiles wandering around, disappearing backpackers, impoverished Indigenous communities, packs of grey nomads living an extended holiday existence in caravan parks, plus various oddballs who have fled from other parts of the country to escape the authorities or otherwise live off the grid, spouting an assortment of conspiratorial beliefs, etc). There are some unexpected twists, and extremely hilarious lines, but I think it didn't quite reach the heights of the first season.
The final season of Daredevil: Born Again. I know, I know, I say every time that my monthly TV roundup includes a Marvel show that I'm burnt out and this is truly my last Marvel ever ... but then I found out that Krysten Ritter was coming back as Jessica Jones, and I had to watch. If you've seen previous Daredevil series, you'll know what you're in for: existential battle for the soul of New York between blind vigilante Matt Murdoch and his crime lord nemesis Wilson Fisk, who by this season has managed to get himself elected as New York's mayor. He uses this position both to enrich himself through various corrupt enterprises, and implement an anti-vigilante rein of terror that sees his super loyal armed branch of the police (unrestrained by any need to follow legal processes) rampage around the city, terrorising people. The allusions to real-world contemporary US politics are not subtle, which irritated me for two reasons. Firstly, I hate fantasy beings/superpowered individuals being used as a metaphor for real-world oppressed groups (since, you know, vampires are actually dangerous, and extrajudicial law enforcement is not a great thing, so equating this with real world marginalisations feels quite offensive in most instances). Secondly, because the show is constrained by the rules of its superhero comic book genre, the good guys are able to overcome all these metaphors for real-world iniquities in a way that is tidy, easy, and uncomplicated — which just ultimately feels insulting. But Jessica Jones was in it, and that was great!
It is 48&#!76; this morning and supposed to get up to 66°. It's also supposed to maybe rain? I am debating the possibility of going out to mow. I don't want to mow; I hate mowing. So I'm kind of hoping for rain, so I don't have to. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny, but it's also supposed to be much, much warmer, so I don't want to mow tomorrow, either.
Yesterday, it rained for a good chunk of the day. I went out and got groceries early, and, because I felt like something nice for breakfast, went across town to the Other Grocery Store, because they have a better bakery. I over-indulged, because of course I did. I came home with a bag full of baked goods. Mmmmm, carbs.
After that, though, I was at a bit of a loss, because my next task should have been laundry, but it was already done. I should then have moved on to some other chore, but...I did not. I sat down at my desk and indulged in some of the fresh baked goods, then read fic or watched YouTube videos until it was nearly time for Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, then discovered that it wasn't playing yesterday, which was annoying. So I went to the website and listened to a couple of older episodes while working on the June pages in my journal. I thought a couple of them were really cute and a couple of them were okay. They involve pastel backgrounds and some black cat stickers that I am pretty sure I got from The Washi Tape Shop. It took me two hours to get through that, but that was partly because the first one took extra time because I colored the background instead of using stickers or papers or washi tape. I wised up for the second one, though, and used washi tape. I took some photos, mostly because I really was proud of how well the first page matched my vision for it.
By that time, Parker was making a nuisance of himself, so I let him bully me to the couch for a nap. Tegan joined us and we made one big, snoozy pile. Naps are your friend.
Speaking of napping and cats, I caught Tegan lounging in one of the soft cavey things yesterday. Just when I think I know her....
Oh, and she has eaten in the kitchen the last couple of days, even with Parker shoving his head into the same bowl.
* insert shrug emoticon here *
I read last night (I am now rereading Platform Decay), then did some writing, then read some more.
So...I want to say that I accomplished nothing yesterday, but that's not quite true. I made art (sort of), I caught up on my favorite radio program, I read, and I wrote. And I served as the warm base for a kitty nap, which is, after all, my purpose in life. Other than the ability to open cans for them, of course.

I've been working on a fic series for the Album Challenge at lyricaltitles. I'm using the Daughtry album, 'It's Not Over, the Hits So Far,' and writing a fic for every song. I have a few more to finish before I'm done, and I have till the end of the month. No sweat. I'll probably post them here at my journal at some point, but for now they are only at the com and AO3. I'm giving all the Miami Vice characters some time, including M/M, F/F, M/F, and gen. AO3 link, in case anyone wants to check them out there.
It's Not Over Series
I made a new icon in honor of the Valerie ficlet I wrote, and I love it. 🧡 (I deleted several of my Good Omens icons, so I now have a few more spots for new ones). Valerie was played by Pam Grier.

Last Month I fell into Kodansha’s K MANGA app – and I’m still trying to understand the app’s mechanics and business model. It’s... weird.
At launch, Kodansha provided the press with information about the app. For example: Kodansha’s New K MANGA App Reveals Tickets, Point System... (ANN). I’m not particularly crazy about how they gamify the e-manga experience. But, whatever.
The K MANGA app threatened to suspend my account once it detected that I had been taking (a few) screenshots – so I’ve immediately stopped doing that.

This morning I drove into Portland and bought a box of four Dots from Saint Cupcake. I wrote a brief note in a small card and bundled it with the Dots box into a gift bag.

In talking to petra and melannen, it hit me that Ryland Grace of Project Hail Mary, especially the movie version, is exactly the kind of person who'd ask, "Doesn't everyone have a system for socks?"
It's got me thinking there could be a piece of fandom shorthand about how to identify characters who'd have Systems for socks. Because they don't struggle with socks, they have a System for socks. It might be bad rats, though I think a way to say they have a System for socks is an easy way to describe something deeply specific.
