☆ Getting through my reading list as promised! I hate falling behind even though I always do, though I guess there's not really any rush here compared to other social media. The posts'll still be there when I get to them! I did stumble upon a fic exchange that looked interesting, ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
unsent_letters_exchange. Nominations are still open for a few more days! I've never done an exchange before, but I used to be big into epistolary fic, so I'm kind of tempted. 👀
☆ I've reached chapter 150 in my great Tsubasa RC re-read, which is definitely past the point I had previously read in high school. The amount of shit that has gone down since my previous update... So much that I can't even remember half of it now that I'm trying to type this up sjdfhskjfs. The whole X-themed apocalypse world happened, Fai finally got vampirized--lots of incredibly gay KuroFai content revolving around that, love that CLAMP has permanently tied Kurogane and Fai's lives together, thanks fam--and then the battle chess world... I had zero forewarning of what was going to happen here with Fai's curse and Sakura's premonitions, and the last I read she had left them (in two different directions it seems lol) so this will be delicious fallout to read once I jump back in. I looove Fai so much, I didn't think they could "poor little meow meow" him any more than they already had but once again CLAMP exceeds my expectations.
☆ I'm making progress in Final Fantasy XVI as well! According to my PS5 I'm about 63% of the way through? The last major event was the Titan fight, which was super cool, I do love these ridiculous eikon fights we get to do. I think my previous complaints are still holding up, but I'm still curious where this plot is going, what's up with Ultima/what's going to happen once all the mothercrystals are destroyed, etc. Got to see Dion and Terence for a single cutscene, they're cute. 😔 Still can't believe Squeenix finally put a canon gay in something. (Yes Fanille is first in my heart, no I don't think they did that on purpose lol.)
I hate that you don't really have a proper party, it's just Clive and sometimes you bring along a pal who's barely there except for cutscenes. Jill got to have her moment when she got revenge on that Iron Kingdom priest guy, but it was a pretty lackluster scene compared to the badass fights Clive gets to have. I was talking to a friend who's also playing the game right now and she said it would have been cool to get to fight as Jill either half-primed or fully primed instead of it just being a cutscene, and I was like that would have been so good!! I hate that she put the idea in my mind because now I'm mad it didn't happen skjhdfksjd
☆ Does anyone still play Overwatch? Unfortunately I do lmao. I've never been big into first-person shooters but I've always enjoyed Overwatch as a game. Unsurprisingly I'm a healer main with D.Va as my main tank (though tanking has gotten sooo much more annoying since they switched to a 5-person team single-tank setup). This new season they've reset everyone for competitive, idk why but I'm sure there's some explanation that I don't care about, so I was stupidly like eh okay I guess I'll place myself again. BAD IDEA I had to stop because I'm 1:3 and consistently the best player on my team which is not good because I'm average at best jshdfsjkdfs. So I guess I'll just jump back in later after more people get sorted, maybe... Would be nice not to get put into games where my team has zero kills amongst us and the enemy team has 15 elims each. (And this is for my healer ranking, I shudder to think how things would go as the sole tank...)

Welcome. I've been here since like 2007. You'll be OK, I promise.
If you want some fic, I remember there was a lot of good stuff on

I'll definitely have to go fic hunting once I finish the series (which is close I think?), thank you for the link!
