Daily updates for Rec-Cember are going about as well as anything daily usually does for me, so I think I'll switch to weekly posts - say Thurs or Fri. That sounds like a plan.

I think what I'm finding is that writing one rec is actually not much less work than a batch of them, and the batch style is more fun for me because I don't feel like I have to come up with as much to say about each individual fanwork. Even though I know I could just yeet the link on DW and flee. Why are brains.

I'm really enjoying the event, though!

(In other news, it is cooooooold, and I am struggling with motivation for Christmas. Maybe I need to write some Christmas/holiday/winter fic. I went to a holiday concert this weekend with

ellenmillion and it was lovely! I need more of that kind of thing.)

This is my current project. I'm working on three pairs of these in different colors. Hoping to finish and get them in the mail in time for Christmas.

I should manage. I've only one and a half pairs to go, and I've made so many of these I could almost do them in my sleep.

It's been a wild day for me, so let's get to some Advent Calendars!

1. Gaming Dice: An 8-sided die that is a swirl of sparkly orange and sparkly greenish teal

2. Diamine Inkvent: "Dream Catcher" It's an extreme sheen, so its base color is a really pretty light blue, but then when you shine a light on it, it's a bright, metallic, pinkish purple. It's so pretty! I wish you could see it!

3. Cult Pens: Tombow Fudenosuke brush pen. At least, I think that's what it is. It's duo-ended, with one side black and the other side gray, and it's definitely a Tombow. Cost: $4.03. Total Cost: $49.35

4. Cacao & Cardamom: It's a small gingerbread man, only it's chocolate with a gingerbread-flavored filling. It was good!

Another piece of art for my current obsession.

On AO3 and tumblr

Also I've realised what the TV series reminds me of. The Canadian govt-supported film company is called Crave, but it could easily be Gay Porn For Girls. Not because the series is actually porn, but because it's made by a team that understands how to film sex scenes.

And When the Long Absent Are Home
The Pitt/ER | Carter, Jack/Robby | ~12,400 words | Sequel to Like Brothers We Meet; thanks to

We're early again!

1. Gaming Dice: Clear, 8-sided die with a tiny elf inside

2. Diamine Inkvent: A standard ink called Blush. It is a peachy pink ink

3. Cult Pens: Another cheap day! Iwako Snowman Eraser. They didn't have a single one, so I had to do some math for the set. Cost: $1.38. Total Cost: $45.32

4. Cacao & Cardamom: Cherry Cordial. Very, very, very good. I liked it much better than I normally like cherry cordials!

I figured that I'd group these together as they're by the same author. I wanted to talk about this anyway, because this is one of the more gratifying experiences I've had with leaving comments on older fic. Basically, I commented on a long WIP that hadn't been updated in several years, and the author not only wrote the rest of it but ALSO, to my delighted amazement, posted another long fic in the same universe, and started posting some new fanart too. It was wonderful. ♥ Never be afraid to comment even years later; sometimes you not only make someone's day but get lovely fanworks in return.

As If From the Sea
The Old Guard | Andy/Quỳnh | ~1000 words

(Also on AO3)

( Andy, Quỳnh, and a moment in a temple courtyard. )

Doing today's a little earlier.

1. Gaming Dice: A green metal 12-sided die
2. Diamine Inkvent: Fir and Fog. It says it's a chameleon ink, which I believe means it changes colors as it dries. As far as I can tell it dried down into a muted pine green
3. Cult Pens: Platinum Preppy Fountain Pen. It's yellow with orangeish yellow ink. Cost: $5.69. Total Cost: $43.94
4. Cacao & Cardamom: Chocolate Covered Fig. Yep, a whole ass fig covered in chocolate with a touch of gold leaf. Reminded me a lot of the snickers date, and not in a good way. I like fig newton's, but I had to do my best to forget that fig wasps are a thing while trying to eat this thing. It tasted good, but I was also grossed out by it.

Ok, I'm in. Extremely hot pretty boys, what's not to like? I did art of them, here on AO3. It's also on tumblr.

Shane in a dull blue hoodie at left, with Ilya leaning in to kiss him, in the stairwell of Shane's building.

So glad I don't use public transport these days, because as hillerska-official says

The show's on Neon in nz. Have been forced (forced!) to watch the initial two eps twice so far, and am working my way through the books by Rachel Reid.

We finally got around to watching the first Stranger Things new episode drop! Somehow I had remained completely and utterly unspoiled for it, to the extent of having even forgotten that there was a new season until suddenly a post with "stranger things spoilers" arrived on my Tumblr dash and I immediately blocked the tag. So I knew literally nothing.

( Random spoilers in no particular order )

Without further ado,

1. Gaming Dice: A clear, 10-sided die with a tiny elf inside. Red numbers

2. Cult Pens: Ohto Clear Super Clips Cost for three: $1.41. Total Cost: $38.25. I'm kinda of disappointed in this one, tbh. It's just, really cheap and kinda useless to me. Tomorrow's box looks like it could be a pen or pencil, so looking forward to that, at least.

3. Cacao & Cardamom: Gingerbread Pecans. They were very good. You could really taste the spice of the ginger and the salt on the nuts.

4. Diamine Inkvent: Just a normal pigment called Marie Rose. Looks kinda brown in the bottle.
