sunshine_revival's first challenge is goals/plans for the month, just in time for me to actually post my monthly plans roundup. (A couple of days late, because hot.)

So here goes:

( June )

July's plans are to survive being too fucking hot.

( July )

There is another part to the challenge but I'll worry about that later, if at all.

Luckily, shutdown this year has us staying on our shifts. (Though I admit to being slightly sad to not be able to grab takeout every day after work...)

Unfortunately it is still stupidly hot despite being dark and the humidity is actually brutal.

Got an amusing postcard from

misbegotten, thank you! And zines from

used_songs, yaaaay! (I flipped through them quickly, will look properly over the weekend, probably.)

And received some lovely icons over in

femgiftboxes from

cosmic_whore_writes and

linky. <3 I wrote three things, which I will try to get archived to my own spaces this weekend for easier reading. ^_^;

sunshine_revival has started. The first prompt includes goals/plans, and since I do those monthly anyway, I'll get that posted sooner than later. (but not til after work, at least)

A few minutes ago, the first drop of 'Gundam Summer Fest' went live on the Premium Bandai site. I had a kinda chonky list of things I wanted and low expectations because "things sell out instantly" and yeaaah, lol. I actually managed nine of sixteen things on my list and then added in a couple other normal pre-orders with the same shipping month, so I'm pretty happy! There'll be at least one other drop next month? and then whatever after the pop-up tour is over, and of course I'm actually going to try to get to the last pop-up tour date so there might be some of these kits there?

I owe a post of kit photos and whatnot. Hopefully over the weekend.

I have bought more dirt though I'm not sure if there will be further plant hijinks this weekend or not.

Back at the beginning of the month, it was announced that there was going to be a Gundam Pop-Up Shop this weekend down in Kentucky and I thought 'well that's only seven hours away' and took a day off- but got talked out of it and a closer location has since been announced... I kept the day off mostly because I've barely used any, the year is half-over, and an extra day off sounded nice. ^^;;

Worked out well because I'll admit that finding out my ancient site was finally going offline did throw me for a bit of a loop. Did I then spend the night frantically archiving? Nope. I finished up HG Sazabi, who is a seriously big boy filled with Yearning, and noodled with some other stuff. And sprawled on my bed and let a cross-breeze blow through my place...

Saturday was mostly fussing around, looking for notes and building a little non-Gundam kit from Sheik Mainland, called a Yunque. Cute little critter, and while I'm not without minor complaints, it was a good build. Started on Starfall, finally, after what, two months of being utterly intimidated?

Going to try to get through a bit of my inbox. It's amazing that no matter what I do, I just don't seem to get anywhere. But, I suppose, it's not getting actively worse, either?

First and foremost, I'd like to offer up a huge "Thank You!!" to you for creating a gift for me. I know how difficult it can be to put any part of your creative process into the hands of another individual, so I will do my best to treat that trust with the care and respect it deserves. ^_^

Gifting is turned on and treats of any variety are welcome. ^_^

Fic versus Art

Most of the more specific prompts have been written mostly with fic in mind just because I’m a writer and that’s how my brain works, but there are more nonspecific prompts in the “Likes” and “Prompts that work for all canons” sections that I think would make good art prompts? Of course, you are also welcome to delve into the sprawling mass of the other sections as well if you’d like something more specific. ^_^

Vid prompts

I'm honestly game for just about anything you'd like to do with a video, since I know that you're going to be limited by what scenes are available in canon, so feel free to borrow from any of the prompts below if they're helpful or to come up with your own ideas. ^_^ In terms of visuals, TLT2 and Time Raiders (movie) would be my canons of choice of those I requested, but if you need to borrow from unrequested canons to make the scenes you want to make work, I'm fine with you using scenes from TLT1, UN, and Reboot, as well. In terms of music... ok, that's a hard one. XD My music taste is quite eclectic.

Some current favorites:

Мельница – «Прощай» (Official video) (Melnitsa - "Goodbye") is a song I've been obsessed with since I saw it in a Fanghua vid which has since disappeared from Youtube. TT^TT

Barns Courtney -- Glitter and Gold -- I also like a lot of his other songs, so feel free to explore. ^_^

Pretty much anything by WILD -- Silver and Gold was the first of their songs I fell in love with and I've made vids of my own for Just Begun and Haunted Heart, but I don't think I've ever heard a song of theirs that I don't like, so have fun? ^_^

The Arcadian Wild -- This is another band that I don't think I've ever really disliked a song from, but my favorite album is their self-titled album, The Arcadian Wild, and a few of their singles: Wolves of the Revolution, The Storm, Envy Green, Dopamine, and Willow. I also like Hey, Runner from the Finch in the Pantry album.

A bit obsessed with the Kill Me Love Me OST song 焰 | Flame and the lyrics strike me as fairly Pingxie appropriate for some of the darker parts of their timeline.

She Keeps Me Warm by Mary Lambert seems a nice soft Pingxie song, too. ^_^

And that's all I can think of off the top of my head, but if none of those are speaking to you, feel free to reach out to the mod and I can look for other songs. ^_^

Notes on rating, kink and general likes and dislikes (DNWs):

( Rating and kink )

( Likes )

( DNWs (do not wants )

Prompts:

(Overall disclaimer: for any of these general prompts that aren’t sexual, Pangzi can absolutely be there, too, because I DO see him as being just as integral a part of the Iron Triangle as Wu Xie and Xiaoge are, but I do not want him as part of the ship or implied to be part of the ship.)

( Prompts that work for all requested canons )

Specific Requests:

Movies: Time Raiders (2016)
Novels: The Grave Robbers' Chronicles
TV: The Lost Tomb 2 - Explore with the Note
Video Games: Time Raiders (mobile game)

You are free to utilize any prompt I toss out there or none of them. If reading what I like about the characters/worlds sparks a fic idea in your head, feel free to ignore the prompts and run with it. ^_^

( 1. Movies: Time Raiders (2016) )

( 2. Novels: The Grave Robbers' Chronicles )

( 3. TV: The Lost Tomb 2 - Explore with the Note )

( 4. Video Games: Time Raiders (mobile game) )

Got notice yesterday afternoon that my old website would be shuffling off in short order. A backup exists and I should have all the files/fics that haven't been archived yet, so I am not terribly upset or anything.

A 20+ year run... o7

I am constantly finding parts of aspirational projects that were abandoned or otherwise lost to time. While cleaning up my hobby desk, I found four bottles of DecoArt craft paint and have no idea what I was intending to do with them... (black, white, red, purple - so a very basic set of colors that isn't helpful) Reddit helpfully let me know that while it's physically possibly to thin it down to airbrush consistency, it's not fun anywhere in the process. So that's out.

I also have an olive and a grey that I will someday tinker with and mix to repair worn spots on a wooden figure, but I've been putting that off for like a decade now and intend to put it off for a bit longer. I suppose the black and white can stick around for that?

(I guess these can all stick around for the hangar/manger if I ever get back to that? Not so much the red, but maybe the others can get used...)

The dining room table is also covered in zine-binding/related debris. I need to see what's there and what needs to be bound and do some little projects when I'm otherwise just watching something or being a mushroom.

But right now I'm a mushroom because it's too fucking hot.

I meant to spend about five minutes on plant care and then proceeded to spend about an hour, instead, complete with running myself out of dirt. That's a bit how my weekend has gone, though? I've gotten a lot done.

I took a deep breath and pushed myself past one of my major mental blocks with archiving and it... wasn't bad? Like, I had bumped up against some very old stories that are... Listen, they were never good. And then I asked myself if I really wanted to archive them. Yes, I want them archived. Yes, I've posted them to mailing lists, to Geocities, to my own site, to AO3. I can post them to Neocities and DW. They will continue to be a part of what I've created.

I also reminded myself that I just have to archive them; I don't have to read them. I also wrote a couple of drabbles and then... also archived those! Super-easy, even though one needed a fandom page made. But super-easy! I like this.

Finished up MG Exia, who I totally didn't want to throw out a window multiple times last weekend, nope. He definitely had his moments, but overall I didn't hate the build. (Which is good because I'm going to be doing it a lot.)

I started on HG Sazabi, who will be a much-quicker no-frills build. I'm going to hold off on polls for a bit until I get through my own little to-do list. I still need to build the HG Calrea that got me back into this bullshit.

Caught up with

purplehellebore for a birfday lunch and whatnot. Went to the home improvement store and did not buy a 9/16ths wrench. (But I had two people restraining me...) Got some paint from the nerd store. Finished up a prototype for a hollow book.

Shadowverse Worlds Beyond released the other day but the less said about that the better. We're already grousing on

mobilegames.

Ugh, it's been hot and going to get hotter. The next week is going to be suffering.

Monday, got an oil change. I like my new mechanic! The shop is affordable and honest to a fault. They did a fairly thorough inspection and flagged a couple of things and when I went to schedule taking care of one of them, they insisted it wasn't a safety issue and that I'd be much better off saving up the money (because it will be pricey) and they'll see how things look next oil change. (Car is a decade old and this is apparently more of a 'x is starting to show a bit of wear' not 'x is about to fail'. I would have done the repair! So yeaaah, honest possibly to their own detriment, lol.)

Tuesday & Wednesday were help the 'rents days. Went a little hard on Tuesday but that just made Wednesday easier. On Tuesday, I waited around for packages that didn't arrive (they did, later, but beyond my timeframe)... I have another on the way from Bandai and I love the path their packages take. They always scan at a facility in Arizona called Navajo Nation which I assume is located in the greater Navajo Nation somewhere. Anyway, since the packages are always Gundams/Gunpla, I keep imagining Gundams and pilots stopping to admire the American Southwest and learning a bit about it.

We're back to shuffling things around at work, including my sanity. It has become a 'we all need to work on things as a team' but there's still no second shift and nobody leaves me notes. So I work on what the fuck ever and then reiterate that I am not psychic, leave me notes.

Weekend is going to be some errands and catching up with a friend for their birfday. Still picking up some things for the airbrush and whatnot. I definitely need a hygrometer and I also realized that I forgot to get primer. ^^;;

I have (at least temporarily) removed my Transformative Works Permissions Statements after an incident. It feels kinda bad but the incident feels really bad so I'm just gonna take some time and sort out some psychic damage and greater feelings.
