Sunny Monday
The weekend was honestly nice.
Sunday was my mother's birthday and we surprised her after breakfast with flowers, cake, cookies, and her actual gift (socks! she asked for socks!) and she seemed really happy. I peeked out the doorwall in the living room and the snowdrops were up and blooming! (No sign of the crocuses yet, but none of us were expecting the snowdrops and those are always first.)
Saturday's nerd show was also good. If I could change one thing, it'd be moving the hours from 11-4 to, like, 9-2 or something. Big afternoon die-off.
It was sunny earlier, I had the energy to get quite a few chores done (or at least worked on) and got the all-fi set up. A few weeks back, I got about fifteen notices that the phone company is discontinuing landline service to this area. So my options were try their device that I assume uses the cellular network (yes I know that's not really what it is anymore, but for description's sake here) or go to the reliable and fast and absolutely miserable to deal with cable company. Their device, the 'all-fi', which sounds like a cult, has a free seven day trial to see if it'll work/have a signal so I finally got it and set it up. Unexpectedly, quite literally unexpectedly, I have a good signal and internet that's probably a hundred times faster than previous (not an exaggeration). I'm going to keep adding devices as I only have two tablets connected right now, but I think this is going to work out okay. (And the dire cable company is still always an option.) The set-up was obnoxious (an app that had to go on a phone, not a tablet) and I haven't entirely ruled out ornamental hermitude, but... so far so good.
Built: one small lotus flower brick kit from the nerd show, black Levinix, white Iglight (getting lots of customization, lol), dorky Zeta Gundam 'marble' shooter.
I'd also registered for CitrusCon but I really didn't do much with it because I was busy with the nerd show and also just... didn't really enjoy trying to communicate on the discord. Textual equivalency of being in a room with a thousand people yelling to each other.

WIP Big Bang International Fanworks Day Mini Bang 2026 - Posting Extension
Just announced it on the Discord channel (mostly because I had a wicked allergy attack yesterday and wasn't online) but we are extending posting for the 2026 Mini Bang to March 16th, as February seemed to be a rough month for everyone.

Update~
The little nerd show was good. Never really busy, but steady-ish. Mostly a Pokemon/card-heavy group, didn't move any of my animanga stuff, but sold a few TFs and some random other things. Sold video games, and at the end another vendor offered me half of what I had marked on my 'expensive' PS1 games which was still way more than double? triple? what I'd paid and I said "sure!" because, like, they are out of my sale box and I have cash in hand. Next show is in April and I suppose I'll be best served by picking out more games that I'm never going to play. (Also the vendor beside us kept coming over and looking at a couple of random PSP games but said he hadn't done well enough to justify buying them. He had Pokemon plushies and I said I'd trade for a couple of cool critters. I got a Pikachu and some sort of mushroom with tentacles that made me laugh.)
It's March, so I have communities to do things with and promote in general... I have a lot of stuff to do in general. While it is still chilly at the moment, the end of the week is supposed to be impressively warm and I will be able to hopefully do a quick garage-clean. Yay!
I suppose this week, if it's as quiet as it's looking like it might be, I can work on my Redacted III contest entry. That should be easy-ish to do? Hopefully? Just need to find momentum...

New Fandom Add-Me for Winter/Spring 2026
Name: Soda (she/her)
Age group: Zillennial; too young to consider myself a 90s kid, just old enough that I remember most of the 2000s
Country: United States
Subscription/Access Policy: Journal is SFW; any posts that contain potentially triggering content (ex: blood) will be put under a read more. I prefer to interact with users who are at least 20 or older, and will avoid interacting with minors.
Main Fandom: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003, IDW, Splintered Fate, and the embryo that is my fan iteration)
Other Fandoms/Interests: Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda, The Sims (2 and 3; I refuse to touch 4), Stardew Valley, "cozy" games, RPGs, platformers, and strategy games, anime, cartoons, comics, manga
Fannish Interests: Fanart, fanfiction, OCs, character design and development, compiling lore, collecting merch
OTPs and Ships: Although I technically still enjoy the act of knocking two characters of my choice together and making kissy noises, I prefer not to describe myself as a "shipper" but merely someone who enjoys exploring the occasional romantic relationship every now and again (because even I admit romance is overrated and there is plenty of joy in exploring friendships and familial relationships, too.) If I do feel like doodling a bit of romance, it's mostly OC x Canon these days.
Other Info
- Officially diagnosed autistic, possibly ADHD as well. Recovering smartphone addict.
- I do fanart, currently am trying to get back into writing fanfic. I'm also planning to debut as a PNGtuber on March 21st.
- Besides fandom things, my journal is mostly the various happenings in my life, as well as any thoughts, feelings, and other ramblings that come to mind.
- Just be kind and respectful and I'll do the same for you.

Fanfiction: By Proxy (The Goes Wrong Show, Robert/Chris)
I'm constantly delighted by how bonkers the dynamic between Chris and Robert is. Robert had a relationship with Chris's mother; Chris had a relationship with Robert's sister; are you two sure you're not just trying to sleep with each other by proxy?
Anyway, here's a fic about that.

Pairing: Robert/Chris, past Chris/Robert's sister, past Robert/Celia
