mindstalkI did make it out! Later than planned, but still. Tokyo National Museum (TNM), a big art museum, by 14:05 (ticket time). I figured it'd be a bit under 3 hours, but ticket price was 1000 yen, high for around here but a good deal by US standard.
Fun fact! Friday and Saturday, the museum closes at 20:00, 8 PM. So, like 5.5 hours after rest breaks, for US$7.( Read more... )
yvannairieHappy New Year!
I'm reading the Locked Tomb books and I am looking forward to the moment one of my other fandoms requires me to write a necrocav AU for my blorbos.

Summary:
Lanhua cocked her head. “Do you want to be human again?”
“No. It’s—” The feeling scurried away from the light of scrutiny. “I want to be a different person. But not too different.” She threw out a random suggestion. “Like myself, but a woman.”
Xiao Lanhua lit up, eyes sparkling.
Qingcang recognised that expression from experience. She waved a hand again. “It was just an example.”
wolffylunaEveryone should praise me for my FIVE FIGURE DONATION to the Against Malaria Foundation, even though it was VERY SCARY.
The sensible context is that I had miscalculated my charity budget and made it too low, and I decided to 'pay back the shortfall.'
The slightly less sensible context is that I read a lot of Medieval history in 2025. And something that came up, both in majority Christian cultures and majority Muslim cultures, was that the standard response to any good news was 'give a donation to charity.' A baby was born? Charity donation. Found a commentary on Aristotle that finally explained it properly? Charity donation.
Apart from the, uh, exciting bits at the end, I have had a pretty good 2025. And I wanted to properly honour that. And you know what? I think the various Medieval people are right, a good response to good things happening to you is to give to charity.
... Also, assuming I have done my back of the envelope maths right, I have now gone over to a whole Negative Moist Von Lipwig.
wolffylunaThread of Duty: (aka the Cavalry General and Embroidery Mage arranged marriage romance.) Finished, except for cover, formatting, and acknowledgements. I mean, I could edit it again? But also, I can move forward. ...even if that would require working out what to do with it. (Insert combined rant about both Amazon and itch.io.)
Survival Showdown: (aka VR streamers in not-a-death-game.) I thiiiiiink it's had it's second draft? But I'd need to check. So the first step is 'reconstruct where I was up to with it, and go forward from there.' Also, then work out what I'm going to do with it. (See above rant.)
Sapphic Steppe Atrocities: (which needs a more descriptive name.) I have got an editorial letter back, and need to go do some chunky edits to the thing. The next step is to go and do research on the Central Asian Steppe (short chain of logic gets me here) and research on [deep sigh] early modern Japan and World War 1, even though I don't want to do either (a longer chain of logic gets me here.)
Emperor/Favourite: partway through outlining.

dw_maintenanceПривет and welcome to our new Russian friends from LiveJournal! We are happy to offer you a new home. We will not require identification for you to post or comment. We also do not cooperate with Russian government requests for any information about your account unless they go through a United States court first. (And it hasn't happened in 16 years!)
Importing your journal from ЖЖ may be slow. There are a lot of you, with many posts and comments, and we have to limit how fast we download your information from ЖЖ so they don't block us. Please be patient! We have been watching and fixing errors, and we will go back to doing that after the holiday is over.
I am very sorry that we can't translate the site into Russian or offer support in Russian. We are a much, much smaller company than LiveJournal is, and my high school Russian classes were a very long time ago :) But at least we aren't owned by Sberbank!
С Новым Годом, and welcome home!
EDIT: Большое спасибо всем за помощь друг другу в комментариях! Я ценю каждого, кто предоставляет нашим новым соседям информацию, понятную им без необходимости искать её в Google. :) И спасибо вам за терпение к моему русскому переводу с помощью Google Translate! Прошло уже много-много лет со школьных времен!
Thank you also to everyone who's been giving our new neighbors a warm welcome. I love you all ❤️
