Fandom and Gaming Blog
I'm taking a bit of a break today and answering another Blaugust prompt (also I need to figure out how to bulk move screenshots off my switch) Blaugust Prompt #4: Do you remember how you heard about Blaugust for the first time? Who are the Blaugust bloggers who you keep reading all year round? I have followed Aywren's blog on neocities for a few years now, and that's where I first heard about…
I'm so slow to watch TV series; however, sometimes my enjoyment of Star Wars wins out! I finally got around to watching the OWK show a few months ago. I'd like to preface this with a disclaimer that I'm one of those people who hated on the prequels when they originally came out, and I still think that there's a lot of flaws with them (and lots of memeable moments too--and not in a good way).…
The Blaugust prompt today is about planning posts ahead of time, which I definitely didn't do. SO, I'm skipping that one and instead subjecting you all to my Genshin Impact recap post! Since I last posted about Genshin, I've made a lot of progress and finally caught up with the game releases! After finishing the main archon and world quests in Natlan, I focused on the character quests which I…
Hi! I know it's been a long time, but I'm finally settled after moving and getting back into blogging. AND it's now August, so what better time to start again than attempt to participate in Blaugust? I'm planning to answer the planned Blaugust questions and then talk about whatever I think of! There's definitely a lot of posts and other media that I need to catch y'all up on! I do think that I've…
Hi everyone! I know I haven't been around for a while. Moving and changing jobs took up much more of my time than I thought! I'll try Blaugust again next year ;D I'll be slowly making a series of posts to catch up about topics that I've missed/gotten behind on. But today, I wanted to talk about Heated Rivalry since I watched it this month along with everyone else it seems! I've read the book it's…
Whelp, looks like Blaugust may take me until November to complete at this rate :/ but I'm going to keep on going! Today's Blaugust Prompt: What other hobbies do you have besides blogging/the topic of your blog? Well, this is basically my hobby blog. Fortunately, I have a ton of hobbies. Too many for my own good! In addition to enjoying all the series here, I also like rose gardening, book binding,…
Today's Blaugust Prompt: Tell the story behind the creation and name of your blog. This one won't actually take me very long. It's kind of simple and makes me a little sad to think about. This blog's title is basically the username/alias that I went by for a long time when I first started using the internet to interact with other people. It's named after my cat, Mutt (short for Mittens), who…
This is the final fic that I beta'd from the Obikin Big Bang 2024 (hosted on tumblr)! And it's definitely last but not least This fic is an age swap AU between Anakin and Obi Wan and really does an amazing character study of Obi Wan as well. The writing is absolutely beautiful, and I love the way that the characters are focused on. Honestly, looking at the stats on this fic right now, it deserves…
Today's Blaugust Prompt: Tell us about your absolutely favorite entertainment media. Well, I could talk about this forever, so I'm going to limit myself to a short list. My favorite movie: Monty Python and the Holy Grail This may surprise some of you because I feel like it doesn't fit in that well with the rest of my interests, but no matter how many times I watch this movie, it makes me laugh so…
I'm still catching up on my recs from the Obikin Big Bang 2024 (hosted on tumblr) that I helped beta for last year! This is the 2nd fic that I beta'd! The 2025 bang is currently running right now as well, but I didn't have time this year to sign up as a beta :( This fanfic is a very lovely time travel fix it fic. I love the descriptions of Obi Wan's mind palace, and all of his and Anakin's…
Wow! I'm so sorry y'all that it's been 8 months since I posted here. I really love my website, but I moved to a different state and started a new job and tried to do a bunch of different things with my friends before I moved. So I just didn't have time to really update anything for a while. I'm a little homesick now, but I've finally settled in at my new home and have all my furniture situated.…
There are so many good fics in the Obikin Big Band. It's going to run through the end of December, so I've decided to make a few fic rec posts of my favorites. I'm making separate ones for all the fics that I beta, so those won't be included here. I tend to like canonverse and canon divergent AUs, just fyi! That will become very apparent from my fic recs if you haven't caught on already. Also…
I've finally got my Star Wars page here up and running, so I'm catching up on my recs from the Obikin Big Bang (host on tumblr) that I helped beta for this year!! I think I've said it before but I honestly really loved being a beta!! And I think it's a good way for me to interact with fandom writing bangs in the future. Much better than being a writer and having to drop out due to deadline…
So, back in October, I made a post reviewed Dead Boy Detectives series on netflix. Since that time, I've been reading a ton of payneland fanfic, and I've absolutely fallen in love with the fandom. It's so nice to finally be back in a fandom that's positive and excited! There's 3 DBDA events planned for December that I know of. There's DBDA Yuletide, 12 Days of Ghostmas, and a low moderation gift…
Ok I've done some behind the scenes editing for the site over the last week, and I'm finally catching up on blog posts! First, I'd like to talk about the Fontaine arc of Genshin Impact that I finally finished playing last month. I know I said that Sumeru was my favorite but I think Fontaine archon quest beat it out. It is now one of my favorite storylines in the entire game!! It kept me on my toes…
Long time, no see. I've been extremely stressed out this past month, so haven't been able to update here as much as I'd like. However, I did end up making mastodon accounts instead. It's been easier for me to post short form posts while I'm this stressed. I'm @cowcatridesagain@urusai.social for manga/anime/danmei/easter media and @cowcatandsilver@fandom.ink for western media fan content. I also…
So I haven't mentioned 2ha here before. For those of you who don't know: it's one of the major danmei novels being translated to English. However, it's not written by mxtx, and it's the first danmei I've read by another author. I'll talk more about how the writing/plot differs from mxtx style, but first I'd like to talk about vol 6, which is the most recent volume released. I just finished reading…
I know it's been a while since posting here, so I'm trying to catch up now! It's been over a week since the olympics ended, obviously with women's artistic gymnastics being at the top of the followed sports here in the US. And I just can't help but compare it to women's figure skating as it currently exists. It's so hopeful to see "older" (ie later 20s) women competing who have been able to go to…
I updated my About Page with new Quizzes, memes, and picrew sections. I'm gradually adding the links for the picrews as I have had them saved for a long time and will have to search for each one. I also updated the Links Page with my Kitty Friends Pixel Club collection. This is my kitty: . Future plans: revamping my css to work better with screen readers. I've learned a lot about css since I made…
So . . . I had time to watch the opening ceremony today of the Olympics, and, wow, I loved it! Just the whole thing was so creative! I've gotten so used to watching a projection show on a stadium floor, and they really flipped all my expectations today. I loved watched the boats and the river - it's so fun, and I bet it was amazing in person to see. And on top of that, I wonder if it ends up being…
I now have an RSS feed!!!!!!!!! You can find it here: RSS and in my sidebar!
