Today I have an merge conflict plus a deploy error in my link in bio app which is deployed in Fly io. Not big deal, just came out that was auth error in deployment, but about the merge conflict was a little bit more than a few lines.

Blu's Misadventures on Discord: A Random Trip Down Memory Lane

Digging around a notebook full of old drawings and found one of the first pieces of TF2 fanart I've ever made! It's not dated, but if I had to guess it's from either 2010 or 2011 (a few years before I ever played the game and was just watching YouTube videos about it)

Don't ask why Spy isn't there I don't remember if that was me being lazy or if it was intentional lol

I suppose I could draw everyone again someday to show massive improvement but knowing me who knows when that'll happen...

January 28th, 2025

I'm getting ready to head back to class and have already started studying for the semester. Here's a photo of my planner and notebook.

I’m a bit bummed that study cafés or similar places aren’t popular in my country, it would be so nice to have a spot outside my home to focus and get some work done.

This semester, I'm focusing on staying organized and sticking to a study schedule. Hopefully, this planner helps me stay on track!

Does anyone else feel the same way about the lack of study spots? Where do you go to study outside of home?

[xinanigans]

I’m so tired I don’t want to do math and I don’t want to draw

I remember walking through snowy streets in an icy winter

I remember midnights writing essays I would have killed to read just months prior

I remember nights in the orchard, my breath foggy in the cold night air, a sky just for me

I remember aching limbs and sore muscles as I pushed myself to my limits again and again

I remember warm lips and tangled thighs, his grip soft in my hair, my hands hot on his back

I remember late nights and bright lights dazzling and intoxicating as we walked familiar steps in front of new faces

I remember forcing down coffee and rising before the sun in an autumn of new beginnings and heady promise

But I remember, most of all, that you can never go back

one of my students this year is that wicked combo of extremely smart, aware of how smart he is, and completely disinterested in using those skills to excel in school. his new thing is playing fully functional Minecraft on a remote server (????) with an emulator built in Google Chrome on his ancient school issued Chromebook (???????) and I know I should be telling him to knock it off but what I really want to do is sit down with him, open up devtools, and talk about the implementation details because how the fuck

for the wip title ask game:

'the droning engine'

oh boy, this is my super self-indulgent fic, lmao. I've been super into IndyCar my whole life, as is the rest of my family, so it's my IndyCar AU for the Terror (with a focus on fitzier as the narrative drive behind it).

It's kind of unwieldy and a bigger project than I thought it would be, so it's still very much in the works/in the planning stages while i draft prose as it comes to me, but I've been poking at it in my free time. The basic premise is Crozier is an older driver, signed to team Terror, a smaller team, but one that generally is in good standing. He's got a really odd rivalry with Fitzjames, and this comes to a head at the start of the work, when the Terror management signs James on as a driver. Basically, the plot is going to stretch over the entirety of an IndyCar season, and I'm going to try to hit major plot beats from the show in this story as the characters all vie for the championship for the season. Some stuff gets changed around, just to make things work, but that's the general premise.

I have it planned for the final driver lineup for team Terror to be Crozier, Fitzjames, Silna, and I think Little, but that's still in flux. Hickey was on the team, but gets let go after publicly starting a fight with Silna and suffering the consequences, lol. He continues to scheme in the background as the season continues to unfold, because a different team snaps him up pretty quickly. Is it conventional for how drivers are passed around and contracts are signed? no, probably not, but I do what I want, lol.

I have plans for general plot beats, how I want to draw narrative similarities for things like the no good, very bad wardroom dinner from the first episode, carnivale, and character deaths in the show without...... actually killing anybody, because I can't really have that.

I want the vibes for the fitzier part of the story to be the kind of "they would absolutely fuck several times before actually talking about their feelings" kind of dynamic, so I think that's the route I'm going to take and have their relationship really blossom towards the end of the season, but i'm also still planning out the specifics of that one. I really like the added tension of a secret relationship, given that they're on the same team and that motorsports doesn't necessarily have the most.... open-minded audience (it's very fun being an unpatriotic queer person at these events. i am....... very much in the minority there), so I want to play with that a bit, too. I thought I had a neat and tidy plan, but it rather started crumbling in my hands when i sat down to actually try to write it, so I think I'm going to be wrangling this one for a bit.

but i'm very excited to actually get to it someday! i know this write-up is very rambly and a bit unhinged, but i truly have so many thoughts about it that it's hard to organize into a coherent, short summary, lol. I have a lot of personal history tied up in this, too, so it's hard not to just go on cool tangents about the sport. this project has taken a back seat as my master's work ramps up, since it's just.... so much bigger than i thought it would be. but i really want to work on it over this winter break, creative juices willing.

and as thanks for reading........... all of this rambling, lol, here's a snippet from my draft of the "birdshit island"-cum-team-dinner scene:

Francis is at the end of his patience with the man, at this point in the day, and snaps. “Why don’t you tell us all about that crash in Monterey, James? That one was rather spectacular, if I remember right.” Fitzjames sours immediately, frowning and gritting his teeth. Francis has exactly a half a second of deep satisfaction at the expression before Blanky viciously kicks him in the shins under the table. Francis winces and glares at him, leaning down to rub at the spot. It had hurt, damn it. That prosthetic leg wasn’t soft by any stretch of the imagination.
