Yes, I did a post abt Kep1er two years ago.

Anyways, one thing I've noticed since "Shooting Star" is that the group has not only gained more confidence BUT that their songs continue to evolve in better music!

Trigger warning: A ton of visual f/x including lighting/flashing lights, image distortion, etc.



What an energetic song! I loved it from the second I heard it. The thing that made me go HUH is that this a Japanese single. 🤞🏾 that they bring this sound/energy to their next Korean tunes.

I had a good time with moss and forests this past month, but now it’s hot girl summer, and by “hot girl” I mean Ganondorf. I’ve been collecting a bunch of fun references, and now I’m looking forward to once again being very weird about a fictional character online.

This week felt like a drag despite being short. More to do with the rain than anything else, tbh. I'm looking forward to being able to enjoy the ongoing rain through this weekend, rather than dreading whether I'll have to walk through it for my usual work errands.

Work was pretty okay this week, all told, so I'm also going into the weekend with a pretty clear head and a pretty decent amount of energy to spare. I'm gonna do some more tidying, maybe get to that room reorganization that I didn't manage last weekend. I really want to buckle down and finish my custom and also the book I'm reading, though, and I'm not sure what the order of operations should be there. Work before play seems like the obvious answer but I already know it's going to be a major timesink. On the other hand, if I only get the reorganizing or the custom done-- I can finish reading the book in between cleaning sessions-- then shouldn't I prioritize the former? ... Actually, maybe not. It'd sure be easier to clean up after my project if I, y'know. Finish the project.

I think what I'll do is read a little when I wake up, work on the custom with occasional reading breaks and then decide how much I want to do with my room depending on how long that takes.

Weird lights

I was downstairs in the game room talking to [personal profile] evil_little_dog and I noticed that over the bar where my parents have hanging glasses (like at some real bars) and it's backlit. That's new. I didn't think much of it until I turned off the lights and it didn't go off. Nor did it go off when I left the bar (thinking it might be motion activated) so I go up and ask Dad (he put them in. he was an electrical engineer) and he's like how did they get on? I expected I accidentally hit one of the switches but no, this is on a separate little controller. You couldn't accidentally hit this. We have no idea how it got turned on. Weird.

You're getting a two-fer for fannish 50 today. First up, have I mentioned I'm a fan of plants? I suspect many of you could guess I love plants from my posts. Well I escaped the house to go to one of the three local greenhouses because I needed herbs (and mom is also sick with bronchitis, sorry Mom so she didn't come). There I am, unsupervised in a greenhouse/farmer's market.

Long story short, I got cinnamon basil, bonsai basil, regular basil, lemon thyme, Italian parsley, zucchini and a flower, a torenia. And then they had free tomato six-packs that you could take one. Come with me early girls (not my favorite but hey free). I am a happy girl with all my new plants that I have no idea where I'm putting them.

In good news, my busted open toe is finally sealed over (a week after the fact) I am relieved. It's not red, not swollen so I think I'm past the danger zone.

So let's move on to the rest of the fannish 50, stories and art! I have a story for you this week myself




Title: Holding Out For a Hero

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel


Summary: Even Pentious might have been impressed with Angel’s new steampunk movie and Angel would give anything to be able to make a sequel. That would mean Pentious and his airship were still alive and he wouldn’t be mourning a friend. Worse, the Vees want to capitalize on his pain and force him to betray the friends he still has.

Rating: teen and up

Author Note - Written for the Get Your Words Out Yahtzee challenge. I’m aiming for a large straight in which I have to write a linked story using all five prompts—all five prompts must connect to tell a united story. This is story number two and the prompt is curious. Since they are connected stories it would be better to start with number one.

Also written for the lyrical titles album challenge 2025 using the Footloose album and the song Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler.

Also written for the allbingo prompt of black and blue and for spikesgirl58’s six word challenge. The six words were Fate, Unpleasant, Captive, Colony, Anxiety, & Swap

Not sure answering this one is the greatest idea, but...
These questions were suggested by [livejournal.com profile] malloreigh.

1. What sets you apart from your friends? Depends. Sometimes I feel separate from both my disabled and abled friends. But in different ways. I feel like I've been on a different "journey"(ugh, so reality) than everyone I ever met. Kind of lonely, even when I know more people than ever.

2. What sets you apart from your family? None of them are writers. My mother just will not admit how different my life is from other people's. We don't fight much, but this is a real point of contention.

3. What sets you apart from your coworkers/fellow students? can I say everything but politics? Because they got to travel and be a part of things, and I'm about 51-going on 16.(I guess it keeps me young but in the most embarrassing, sweaty-palms, rookie kind of way...kind of hate it.

4. What is the one thing about you that is most unique? Besides being the broken Hummel figurine who, maybe because she almost died, could win the John Munch think-a-like contest?My ear for dialogue? My deeply disturbed sense of humor.

5. What is your most interesting quality?Probably the contrast between the outside and the inside.

Copy and paste to your own journal, then reply to this post with a link to your answers. If your journal is private or friends-only, you can post your full answers in the comments below.

If you'd like to suggest questions for a future Friday Five, then do so on DreamWidth or LiveJournal. Old sets that were used have been deleted, so we encourage you to suggest some more!
