K's vacation has started and routine has become something else entirely. I get up late in the mornings, eat breakfast and lunch on the patio, sit out if the weather allows it. The past week, it's been raining a lot and it should pick back up from tomorrow onwards, but yesterday and today have been beautiful and sunny and warm. True Danish summer.
We were supposed to start our Anakin/Sarica PSL Friday and we did get started, but then got sidetracked with an Efith (fantasy) PSL for our old OCs, Marcel and Jean Louis. It's proving to be a lot of fun, placing them in such a different setting and I'm getting reacquainted with the characters completely. A challenge, but very rewarding.
Since earlier this week I've also started writing in a new 'verse, an alternative history/fantasy setting centered around the fictional empire, Edon, located around the Jordan Valley and stretching as far as Iran and even the western-most parts of Pakistan. Currently, I'm worldbuilding and writing the religious texts, myths and legends from Edonian lore, but at some point I'll write the actual story playing out around these elements. I'm roleplaying my MC over at

exultations and having a lot of fun with her, so I do look forward to getting started on writing more narrative-based stuff.While writing for this 'verse, I've been listening to a lot of Lindsey Stirling, particularly the songs Artemis and Til the Light Goes Out. I adore the music for the second number, but you get the video for the first, because it's frickin' amazing choreography. (The music is also really good, don't worry.)
I've also been listening a lot to this song by Lido Pimienta. I don't know Spanish, but I've looked up the translation and it's just the most beautiful song ever and her live performance of it is so extremely powerful and evocative. I had literal tears in my eyes the first time I heard it. It moved something completely fundamental inside me.
It finally feels like something is settling and finding its feet inside me, although I've been reeling for so long now, I almost can't recognise this feeling. Give me another month of this and I might actually live peacefully inside myself again. I can't remember when I last did that.
