Rules: put your music on shuffle, and make a poll with the first 5 songs that appear to let folks vote for whichever they like best!

I was tagged by gothyanki but I don't actually listen to playlists much these days, I either listen to specific albums/songs in a variety of ways, or the radio. Last time I did this meme I cobbled together a collection to randomise from, but this time I decided to just listen to the radio (specifically Double J) and write down the first five songs I like enough to theoretically listen to on purpose (though the only one I remember ever actually seeking out is "Weather With You" and then only because it was attached to other Crowded House songs I like more)



Crossposted to tumblr, which means it has to be radio buttons. NO NUANCE as they say on tumblr.

As tagged by anghraine. Last time I tagged the last five people in my tumblr notifications, so this time let's see who's in my dreamwidth inbox: fred_mouse winterbird got_quiet lilacsigil and alephnul. Absolutely no pressure though! Just if it seems fun! And everyone else is free to do it too.

From alaterdate. I am as always too awkward to actually ask 9 people, but if it looks fun, consider yourself tagged!

Tagged by leah_hazel: Share the last line of your wip and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

And I actually wrote something relatively recently! Behold:

"Not in a weird way!"

from an Eita/Momo "My Love story with Yamada at level 999" fic tentatively titled "The Lesbian Love Story of Momo and Princess Ruri". The line is said in response to "Isn't she based on your little sister?" lol.

I don't think I'll finish the story, and am iffy on the in-characterdness of that line in particular. But I guess this meme means the fic gets to see a brief flash of the light of day before going back into the drawer.

I tag anyone who wants to do it but ONLY if there's exactly five of you.

isabel_lunnen/ isabelpsaroslunnen tagged me in a "getting to know you via five drinks" meme. So, off the top of my head, five drinks I have illustrative things to say about.

Tagged by elwing and also I think phlebasphoenician ages ago but I was really tired that day and forgot until now.

last song: The Devil's Part, All Our Exes Live In Texas. The problem with this band is I like their songs (so many weird breakup songs!) but I find Australians trying for a Folksy American Vibe annoying on principle (idk maybe this is unfair and that’s just what aussie folk sounds like). I have to admit this one is pretty good, though, with an enjoyably creepy, femslashy video.

last movie: Probably 'Seeing Red'. I liked it, for all the reasons mentioned previously!

currently reading: Devil Venerable Wants to Know by Cyan Wings, a Chinese m/m xianxia romcom. This question usually trips me up because I tend to either finish books in a day or so, or give up entirely. But I've been stalled halfway on this one for a while. It's a fun premise: the amoral immortal secondary romance lead of a cheesy romance novel comes across a copy before he meets and falls for the heroine, and is horrified. Both because his love leads to him dying at the hands of the heroine's dickish boyfriend and his second in command going mad with grief, and because becoming such a mushy pushover feels preposterous. He decides the best solution is to (a) get the heroine to find a different better boyfriend and/or self actualisation (b) get to know his second better and encourage his mental health. His idea of 'helping' involves a lot of like...pushing the heroine off a cliff to speed up her arc etc which is darkly funny, and there's some great amoral female characters who are enjoyably femslashy with the heroine (she just keeps being so NICE and they DON'T UNDERSTAND and also it's not like they care or anything but her boyfriend is a DICK and she can DO BETTER). And it has a lot of fun poking at genre conventions. But the romance between him and his second is VERY slow burn and the rest of the plot is a lot of amusing but repetitive silliness. It it was half as long I probably would have loved it, as it is...maybe I'll finish it one day.

elwing tagged me in a meme on tumblr. I always overthink these things, so, off the top of my head!

Dreamwidth Circle Meme

A good way to meet new people to follow and be followed by.

I was tagged by tree/ hoidn but I'd been vaguely pondering doing what I think is the same meme after seeing it a bunch on dreamwidth. So I'm not tagging anyone because I can't remember who's done it already but have enjoyed seeing everyone's responses and would enjoy seeing some more!
