miss_ingnoLots happening in less than a week again! I really hope things calm down soon :'D
Re: moving
The widow of a former colleague of my grandpa's lives less than 20 minutes from where I'm gonna start working soon, and gramps mentioned me looking for temporary housing until my flat is finish mid-November; she offered me a room for the time in-between. Which I'll probably take her up on, temporary housing costs more for a month than most of the monthly rent options I've been looking at (which are already way too high imo! I mean, I get that heating costs are going up along oil/gas prices, but sheesh) and what she offers is incredibly, humblingly generous. Though it means I'll probably have spotty internet access at best for the time being. Still, 100% worth it.
Re: fanfic
Finally wrapped up and posted the last chapter of Shen Wei, Accidental Lesbian Whisperer, a wishlist gift forelenothar from last year ^^" took me forever, but I'm pretty happy with the end result! (and very grateful to Elenothar's endless patience and reassurance that she wouldn't mind if I never finished it <3)
Waching: Detective L
I'm now on episode 15 and I feel like the whole Arson case is confirming my "Huo Wensi is Moriarty" theory. Sorry, but nothing (including the drama) can convince me otherwise at this point xD he's being positioned too obviously as Luo Fei's foil, pretending to be empathetic (but does not; whereas Luo Fei is pretending not to care but does too much), blending in where Luo Fei doesn't. The creepy-smug serial killer smiles are NOT helping him at all, either!
I've been warned that the ending is going to be a bit unsatisfying, the last three episodes especially are said to be extremely rushed? I'm curious but open to it at this point (and looking forward to fic for fixes lol if anyone's got a rec...)
Listening: JiYoo's Monster cover
So Jiu and Yoohyeon (Dreamcatcher) did a cover of Irene & Seulgi (Red Velvet)'s Monster, and ngl I live for it. I like the original better now that I've listened to the cover on loop, too xD I adore the visuals too, like the girls are kpop veterans now, and still do these kind of high-quality covers? Damn. (And it's rumoured that this was Yoohyeon's passion project, she's been hinting at wanting to do a specific cover with Jiu for a while in vlives, apparently... <.< I don't have time to keep up with those but I think it shows!)
Reading: Guardian novel
Started on my third attempt to make it through the novel! (The first time, I didn't realize RainbowSe7en's TL was unfinished and was then floundering where to continue. The second time I got too busy irl and was then distracted by fic xD Fingers crossed I'll make it further this time!) It reminded me how much I adore early novel!Zhu Hong's raw thirst and disgust with Zhao Yunlan lmao. I really want fic that leans into that... if I do Yuletide, I might request something along those lines <.

on 2022-09-28 08:35 pm (UTC)Glad you have prospects for a non-prohibitively-expensive temporary place! That's good luck, and definitely worth the temporary bad internet. ♥
Congrats on finishing that fic; I need to catch up on reading!
With Detective L, I feel like the last three episodes really show that they were originally planning for more episodes and then had to cram it all into what they were left with. Still fun, though!
(As a Moriarty fan, IMO every detective needs a Moriarty! :p)

on 2022-10-01 10:21 pm (UTC)Definitely worth it, I have more than enough expenses coming up OTL
Thanks! :D I hope you enjoy it, but no pressure, time's are busy <3
Re Detective L: Well, I'm looking forward to pulling at those leftover threads and see what they might've been going for, at least :D (and yes, good Moriarties are fun! Huo Wensi reminds me a little of Shen Wei in the interrogation scene, something about the head duck, smug smile, and glasses adjusting... <.<)
