Today has just been... tired, oh my fuck. Slept late, groggy all day, had to get my social worker's apprentice to stay home with me and have tea, because I couldn't find the energy for a walk, no motivation in general, actual dislike of doing any writing on my fic, done some light rp'ing and have made some light prep work for tomorrow when my online writing group is hosting its "24 Hours of Writing" event. I had originally intended to use this event to really get a head start on my fic, but the way I feel right now, I won't be touching it until I'm better or I will actively start detesting it all. Instead, I have a backup idea, an old project I can fish back out of the mental swamp and use tomorrow to work on throughout the day. It's a project I like and was intending to do some more work on eventually anyway, so it's fine. Maybe it'll be my comfort project to pick up once I'm done with the Omina fic and need something to soothe my hangovers, too. That'd be nice.
But yeah, that's the state of me today. Just generally worn out and stretched thin. Threadbare.
I really hope it starts picking up tomorrow. I do want to work on my Omina fic, I'm just really afraid of pushing it right now, in case I burn myself out completely and won't get it to the finish line. That would suck so much.
Anyway, in honour of tomorrow and the fic I'll be working on there, I've updated my default icon to this, Maikaze Rira as Mireille Duroc in Silver Wolf, also my face claim for the character of Germaine Dupont, who's the narrator of the fic I'll be working on tomorrow, if all goes according to plan. Likewise, I've updated the sidebar banner to the same photo of her. It's one of my favourite moment's from the musical, when Silver is angsting like an utter angst muffin and she looks at him over her shoulder, coming up behind him to gently wrap her arms around his arms. It's the best.
All will be revealed in this video:
Maybe I'll be gentle and understanding of myself later today and rewatch the musical, to just relax and gear up for tomorrow's marathon. I should definitely do that.
