yuuago+ Long weekend. Had dinner with parents. Did a lot of faffing around aside from that. I feel like I didn't really do much aside from sleep and watch movies.
+ Some people invited me out to a thing, then cancelled but forgot to inform me. I didn't find out until the afternoon on the day it was going to happen, when I sent a text to check on the time (though luckily with enough notice that it wasn't a big deal). I'm still kind of annoyed about it. Like, on the one hand, I didn't really want to go to this thing anyway. On the other hand... dude, seriously? They want to reschedule, but I'm 50/50 on whether I'll decline.
+ Watched Akira Kurosawa's Dreams. Beautiful film, but very very artsy. It's an anthology of eight vignettes or "dreams", each inspired by an actual recurring dream Kurosawa had. Some are more fantastical than others. I'm glad that I took the time to watch it, but I'm also very glad that it was not my first Akira Kurosawa film - I don't think it would have been a good introduction to his work. Very recommended for Art Film enthusiasts though.
+ [Hetalia] Came across someone grumbling about the prevalence of SE/FI and the lack of other FI pairs, and on the one hand yeah I feel that, but on the other hand they were going on about how they've never seen work with other FI pairs except as a joke, and I'm like - hold on. Excuse me. Dude, you haven't been looking. Sure, there isn't a lot, but I've never seen a NO/FI or EE/FI shipper who wasn't 100% earnest and enthusiastic. There aren't a lot of fanworks out there, but there are some, and a lot of them are quite nice. Pairings other than those two are much fewer, but every so often something unexpected turns up. You just have to go looking, man. Or make your own. ...Anyway, it did remind me of a No/Fi story I've had notes for that I never did get around to writing. Maybe I'll try to write it when I'm on vacation in November. Not that I'll be sharing it with that asshole, but I do like the idea and it'd be nice to get it on paper.

What is even going through the minds of people who say stuff like that when it's so easy to filter for fic by pairing. Never? Really? You've never seen it? It just kind of feels like giving up before even starting. But I support the NorFin writing in any case!!

Date: 2025-10-15 11:44 pm (UTC)Yeahhh, that pretty much sums it up re: filtering and whatnot. Times like this I feel kind of "I somewhat agree, but you're so obnoxious that I wish you'd get off my side". Anyway, we'll see if this thing gets written. I really like this pairing, but it's been hard to get ideas for them!

Re: Hetalia:
I am kind of in the same boat as the grumbler, being a SuNor shipper. Still. Nonetheless. Complaining about other ship(per)s literally never inspires people to make art for your ship. And as you said, it's not even hard to come by sincere, interesting not-SuFin works. God forbid people learn to use the search function...
Hope you get time to work on the NorFin story during vacation!! or another story that you feel inspired to write about, or another creative endeavor XD

Date: 2025-10-16 12:55 am (UTC)re: Hetalia - yeah, I definitely feel that. It's exasperating that there isn't more variety but complaining does nothing and also there is stuff out there and... eh. Things like this kind of make me want to resurrect my fest, because that's the reason I originally put it together in the first place (wanted to see more pairing combinations than just The Usual), but. Time/effort. No.
We'll see if anything comes from my time off~ Who knows :V
