Dec. 9th, 2018 09:04 pmI'm really enjoying idly checking out my friends list (reading page, yeah yeah) here and being surprised repeatedly that there are posts! Posts since yesterday, more posts than I remember there being in ages! Y'all, I know how fast these things can die away but what if we made Dreamwidth what LJ was. What if we have comms and fic posts and actual comment conversations. What if.
In that light, I have very little to actually say (I'm supposed to be writing right now hah hah) except that we did Team English House Christmas for the second year running yesterday and it was so nice to have an entire day of quiet movies (The Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding is terrible oh my god; how can these people NOT ACT TO THIS EXTENT and yet we still watched the entire thing and made Housemate #3 who hadn't even seen The Christmas Prince watch it too, much to his confusion) and good food and presents. Housemate #3 bought me a combined birthday/Xmas present after getting me something I already owned for my birthday originally and having to return it) so, unexpectedly, he got me Pokemon Let's Go: Eevee. I'm limiting how much I'm allowed to play when I haven't finished Breath of the Wild or half the things I'm writing, but so far it's disconcertingly like going back in time to play Pokemon Red/Blue again and just as bizarrely addictive. I love my Eevee (Evi) but I'm already wary of running out of pokeballs with the sheer number of pokemon running around. It's great that you can sort of avoid the wild pokemon if you decide you need to get somewhere in a hurry though; that's a great upgrade from the original games. I'm already impatient to start catching Charmanders and Vulpix so I can get me my Charizards and Ninetails (Ninetailses? Ninetailsi?) again.
Having a full time job is very inconvenient when I just want to play Pokemon Let's Go: Eevee. I mean, being able to afford to eat is pretty nice but I could do with each day being twice as long. Work is also... A Thing right now. I don't know. I might know more tomorrow how stressful the next few months might be or it might drag out and, I don't know. It'd be easier overall to win the lottery or inherit a trust fund tomorrow so I can quit to write full time and play Pokemon without guilt, basically.
But I can't. So instead, and in the name of adding to the Dreamwidth Resurgence, have a tennis fic snippet. I wrote this a few months back thinking I'd carry on and make it a Christmas fic surprise but that's looking less likely the closer we get to Christmas (oh god I am so completely not organised this year) so have a snippet anyway. Sascha/Roger with background Andy/Novak; overall the entire fic plan has Sascha/Dominic, Sascha/Roger, Sascha/Novak, (are you sensing a theme?) with a variety of other pairings because I thought months ago 'what if the big four players took the top four next-gen/up and coming players away for a Christmas "training session" every year, only it was actually an excuse to play a mini round-robin competition where the winners got to consensually sleep with the losers in a glorious week of fun times for all with surprise Meaningful Feelings because those are the best kind, and then this happened. Maybe one day I'll finish it.
