... thank you for posting before I hit the character limit. I was starting to worry

Anyway~ Junk Emporium! 150k. My Hero Academia crossed with one of those... I forget what they're called, CYOA writing prompt things? Anyway, it supposedly uses basically an encounter table for powers the MC collects as the story goes along, with the writey person rolling with it, from what I understand. In this particular case with a focus on buildy stuff. There's at least one more fairly lengthy celestial forge thing I'm aware of, just set in Worm instead of MHA. Any case, it's... okay? It's okay. Decent romp, no major stylistic issues I can recall, read pretty smooth. Just now hitting the point really major things are starting to happen, though, so... yeah. Not RSS'd ('cause if you can do that on SV I'unno how), but watched with some cheerfulness, heh.

Also sometime in the next month or so, I'm (probably) going to be getting my hands on the cyber samurai TMNT mini-series, so... sorta' looking forward to reading that. Gonna' see Raph punch Hitler!

E: Dragonspawn! 280k. Dude gets blown up by a mine, reincarnates into my hero academia land as baby dragon shapeshifter chick. Lives life! Experiences significant trauma and loses the shapeshifter for just-be-a-dragon-all-the-time! Does hero in training-y stuff, has ~family drama~, grows as a person dragon. It's pretty nice. Watched with cheer!

E2: Scientia Weaponizes the Future! Nibbly 74k. Adult lawyer gets isekai mind-melded into Wormverse Taylor, with super knowledge powers. Does things! Solves the P = NP thing! Other stuff! It's alright. Pretty fast moving, but also that perennial ~just getting to the good bit~ thing that always seems to be happening when you hit the end of the current work of an incomplete bit of fiction. Anyway, watched without reserve. Next!

e3: https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/snapping-turtle-naruto-si.83751/reader/ snapping Turtle, see title, 120k good nuff to read in one day, no type more due to hurt hand

e4: https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/mandalore-the-administrator.74563/reader/ title in url, star wars tinker taylor throwing wrenches around wormverse, 100k, totes dead due to writer life interrupt, wrist still fairly fucked so no typeformat junk, decent enough up to the point of kaput! Kinda' half-assed yuri plot, but one of the better half-assed yuri plots I've seen! anyway it's alright

e5: https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/the-skittering-chaos-worm-hazbin-hotel-helluva-boss.86712/reader/ tiny 60-something k, somewhat nsfw, I guess? Nothing super explicit, but some pretty rough language and gore. Worm/Hazbin Hotel crossover, so, y'know. Anyway, it's fairly decent, seems to be trying a redemption(?) arc on some of the Merchants. Worm characters dealing with the whole hell-actually-exists dealio and what that means for, well, Worm characters. Post golden morning worm characters.

If nothing else it made me realize I'd never really considered the implications of afterlife + crapsack/post-apoc settings, where billions or trillions of people that led pretty shitty lives full of questionable decisions suddenly end up super dead en masse. It's a thought!

It might, I'unno. From what I understand, the 100 day squelch got slapped down by a court, and despite that url the priorities and whatnot are (at least on paper) actually a restriction rather than expansion, compared to shitgibbon times.

Pretty sure they're supposed to be temporary in any case, with changes coming in the relatively near future (3 months or somethin). Plenty of people are extra pissed about it, so there's definitely pressure to shape up. We'll just have to see how it plays out

And in today's "light amusements of the light classical channel", An Operatic Nightmare: Desecration Rag No. 2.

Decent enough music, but the real gem is just the title

hahaha what

I can get a reprint of the full cyber samurai mini-series thing in through the state ILL.* Frumple has found something to spend a dollar on!

*For anyone curious and in florida, give a search for FLIN SHAREit; forth quarter 2020 or thereabouts florida finished rolling out a state-wide ILL service after mostly dropping OCLC a couple years ago, and it's searchable by the public, so if you have a local participating library (and maybe even if they're not; there's other ILL methods operating in FL, too) and you're after something specific it doesn't have, well. You can see if it's somewhere else in the state that's sharing!

Grandfather is very clearly transitioning into mid/mid-late stages of probably!Alzheimer's. No official diagnosis (i.e. no meaningful help) yet, either.

Trying to care for him's going to start getting much, much harder

Thing I wasn't expecting at 4 am from the light classical music channel: Acappella Mozart (Alla turka from piano sonata in A, a cappella amadeus, swingle something or other). It wasn't even bad or anything, just... very not expected. Channel in question does basically no vocals from what I'd heard, until then.
