Thank Thor

The weather has still been unreasonably hot, but the past few nights have been stormy with thunder and lightning and everything.

Tuesday night was strange though. Leia, of course, was outside so after checking to make sure she wasn’t upstairs I went to try and get her in. Naryu, who’d followed mum to bed, came down with me rp the back door and barked to be let out (she doesn’t do that). She rushed outside and spent the next twenty plus minutes (while the Lightning was flashing) snuffling under the pine tree. I half expected to find a dead thing like the pheasant, but there was nothing there. Leia did show up while I was trying to get Naryu in and she ran away. (She didn’t come in at all so she must have hunkered down somewhere.) Naryu on the other hand kept coming down whenever I called for Leia before going to bed. Clearly she was worried for her, which was so sweet.

Thankfully Leia was in for the storm last night.

Because of all that I went to bed earlier on Tuesday (I was gonna watch something but trying to wrangle Naryu was just... time consuming and tiring).

I have started ESO and the hot vampire shows up pretty early which is good! I love him already. Unusually it’s part of the main quest, but the location also has a regular one and you’re actually encouraged to do both together (by dialogue and interactions). I don’t think there’s ever a place with two quests that actively encourages you like that. Hopefully they’ll continue that going forward.

There’s also a group called the Antequarians Circle, which gives me Magnus Archives vibes. They look for artifiacts, to uncover the truth of things and they also have a thing called the eye which chooses who joins. Which is just... spooky.

But I’m loving the expansion so far, I expect to do more later.

Also yesterday I did some Animal Crossing stuff. I had flick so I tried to do a trick with nook miles islands to get palm tree bugs but.., still didn’t get the ones I’m missing. I have got enough for models of the others though, which I guess is a plus. I did get to go to a treasure island someone has set up which was fun. I got some diys and a few items (and some bugs/fish/sea creatures for the museum). I hope to go again and get some diys and materials.

Last night was the last ep of the good doctor season 1 which was bittersweet. Shaun is just so sweet and so determined. Later I watched a film on Shudder, The Corridor but it was just a bit, blah. It took awhile to get going and it was unpleasant, but not in a good way. The characters were mostly unlikeable, though there was one cute guy (that was a jerk even before the weirdness happened).

Also last night was the reveal of Robert Sheehan on the cover of the new Attitude and I feel so attacked by this because, well, just look at him!

It’s cooler today which is good. I’m hoping my fic brain will start up again because I really wanna write (either one of my WIPs or something for season of kink or something). I do kinda wish I had the incentive to do bandom stuff sometimes, but it’s just not there (and it’s sad how quiet the discord is now). I’ll content myself by reading and not writing for it.

I might try and read some of my Padme book today but I can just see myself watching tv and dozing instead. (My focus for reading is still not there)

I’m gonna snuggle now, finish this taskmaster ep and keeping an eye out for mail.
