New year

This was gonna be part of the first snowflake challenge post but I figured it should be it’s own thing instead (if only to make it easier to sticky) so snowflake will be later.

Happy new year, I hope this year is better than the last.

As someone said a few days ago (it was on stream but I can’t remember who) last year felt more like three. The last fourth (maybe even third) was really hard and just.. bleh.

But anyway.

Yesterday I spent it, after the last post, I watched a few things. I’m putting thoughts on them under the cut so people that haven’t seen them can avoid spoilers (Strange World, Frozen 2, Yesterday). Before that I also had a delivery of the replacement earth orbit thing which impressed me cause I didn’t expect that. I’ve not checked it yet to start it but might tomorrow)

We spent new years night watching bbc 1, including Sam Ryder’s new year thing which was ok. I dunno it just wasn’t one of the best and I can’t place why. Though kudos to him for really trying.

Following it was the big Eurovision party which was definitely better. There was so many great Eurovision songs on it, I think my far was Subwoolfer’s one and the Ukrainian section towards the end. You also have to give Lordi credit too, they always come on these things and put on a good show despite being the obvious odd one out. I might watch it again some point.

Today I was gonna try and watch the new years concert but it was on too early and cause it’s a life thing it took awhile to appear on iplayer (it’s up there now though so I might watch tomorrow). Instead of watching that I did some a Pokémon Violet, not much but enough to do a gym, yay!

Tonight I’m gonna watch a bunch of things (I might do the snowflake thing during call the midwife) and I might game some after this post,

Do I have New Year’s resolutions? I didn’t really have anything specific in mind but I’m gonna post some thoughts now.

*Each month I wanna watch at least one thing on each of the following: Amazon prime, Disney+, Netflix, shudder (cause I’ve been faily at that)
*I want to finish at least one book a month (or maybe every two)
*I want to finish one game a month (again, maybe every two)
*I want to post one fic a month (at least)

Snowflake challenge 2023 - 1

Challenge #1

In your own space, update your fandom information! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So one of my current sticky posts (as I type this) is last years one, so I’ll switch it for this one likely tomorrow.

I’m Stuie, I’m 36 (though as I said last time I don’t feel it). I live in the uk and I’m currently a student with the Open University (this might be my last year on the main degree but who knows?). The current course is annoying because it’s interesting in places, but then there’s times when it’s just being bombarded with equations. I have depression and anxiety (and most likely other things but who knows). I have two cats and a dog, all girls.

I post mostly post random stuff. I sometimes post fic. I also post thoughts on things (like Doctor Who whenever there’s new eps or as I go through new boxsets. Soon I’ll get back to going though season 2, next being Dalek Invasion Of Earth).

I love Star Wars, Zelda and Pokémon, as well as Doctor Who (though I do need to get an icon of 10/14). I love Lego. I watch streamers, the amount I watch now has only grown, the ones I try to watch always are James Marriott, Ranboo and Quackity, though I watch others.

Here is the main place I post (and twitter, despite it being a doomed sinking ship). My links to where I can be found elsewhere are in my profile.

Honestly, I’m sure I’ve missed something important, so I’m gonna end with the suggested thing from the comm.

• Transformative Works Policy: I’ve got one noted in my profile and ao3: in short anything would be awesome just let me know


• Current Passion I’ve ended up watching streamers mostly. Currently I’m gaming on the follow things: Fall Guys, Fortnite, Sonic Frontiers, The Quarry. (And I’ve randomly started Magic The Gathering arena on my pad for some reason) Music wise I’m listening currently to Doctor Who music, James Marriott and Weathers. Show wise I’m watching Willow on Disney+ and slowly making my way through Sandman and Cabinet of Curiosities


• Where to Find Me: Here on dreamwidth or twitter


• Master List: I have a master list but it’s not been updated in forever so my fic tag is probably better


• Anything Else: I think all of that nonsense is anything else
