Zelos | 天地大情路永無涯
@overzelos.bsky.social
Serial fandom monogamist, extremely slow writer, wuxia fangirl, perpetually hearteyeing about swords.
Me, rereading my old fics:

1) wow, I used to be able to write
2) I don't wanna write it, I wanna READ IT

I feel like I've been decompressing from the last three years' worth of stress in the last two days. So much sleep, so much potato-ing, so much takeout.

Phew. Sigh.

After 3 years, I'm finally starting to write again. 🥰

Wen Ning, Wen Zhuliu, Wen Qing in Nightless City. A character study in kindness, honour, duty, and obligation.

Me, looking at the rumoured upcoming dramas: Kill My Sins? Liu Shi Shi AND Zheng Ye Cheng AND Xuan Lu in one show??? Sold.

(Possibly releasing end of this week? If true, I'm gonna die. I will die double if ZYC shows off some more of his mesmerizing fight scenes.)

Me: forgot I had I to make lunch before work today
Me: that's okay, time for some indulgent takeout I've been craving anyway
Me:
Me:
Me: actually I Need to finish this I think I'm gonna skip lunch

(I did bring an apple so I'm not entirely running on empty. But. I am ready to go home, y'all.)

Happy new year to me

All right, my opinions about Blossom vs Brocade Odyssey have swapped.

Blossom - fast paced, well-shot, and enjoyable until the end. The ending is a little too neat for my liking, and some characterizations are a tad eh, but it's thematically sound and I enjoyed it all the way through.

Viki, please have Chinese subtitles for your cdramas, I'm begging you. 😭

Oh I LOVE leads who are SMART. And casting ML and FL who are BOTH whip-smart?? My catnip.

Yes! Cunning! Brains! Outwit their enemies in ADDITION to beautiful sword play? Yeeeeeeeees

What a weird, weird year. 2023 was my worst health year, 2024 I've been slowly climbing back up, and now I am finally feeling Normal again. Family priorities and work burnout means I haven't really had time for fandom; I still watch cdramas but haven't had the bandwidth to Join Fandom.

2023 and 2024 has been one long, bittersweet reminder that love takes many forms, and even happy goodbyes are hard.

Good luck, friend. I will toast you on warm summer nights.

It is TOO EARLY in the year for allergies.

Rereading my old fic and...I don't say this much, but I am really proud of some of my fics. Reading them years later, as both the reader and the writer, gives me feels in a whole new dimension.

Ah, Wen Ning/Song Lan deserve so much happiness.

I originally bought my fountain pens in super fine (Pilot F, approximately = 0.38-0.5 mm in gel ink) because I wanted minimal bleed/feather on cheap paper and hoped it would make my writing look better (it did not). But nowadays I appreciate the smoothness of a 0.7mm gel.

Rereading my WZL TED talks and going "Wow, I don't want to write this, I want to READ this"

One big reason why MDZS spoke to me much more than TGCF was because of the messy family dynamics and how human it made all the characters feel. Love without like (from a long distance, because breathing the same air is hard) can be so real, and so relatable.
February 16, 2024 at 8:53 AM
I resent that cdramas always have a long, staggered posting schedule (even if you pay). Let me marathon, you cowards, what do you mean I have to wait a month???

Over the last week, my findings re: draft v5 of Murder Will Out:
1. Writing is a muscle, I'm rusty but still 🔥
2. I still think the outline/fic is killer
3. I left the fandom long ago, I don't really have motivation/drive to work through the hard/sticky bits
4. Do I continue? Unsure
February 2, 2024 at 8:19 PM
*opens drafts and outline for Murder Will Out* All right I'm DOING THIS
January 29, 2024 at 2:54 AM
Lying around watching dramas all day is less relaxing than I had imagined. The fact that everything hurts doesn't help. But I'm learning some killer OST songs!

Makes me want to take up singing again, though no one will recognize or appreciate the songs I'm looping.

I thought Mysterious Lotus Casebook would take cdrama of the year for me, but HOT DAMN A Journey to Love is fighting (with lethal elegance, of course) for that crown.

Now THIS is a badass FL. Also, the FIGHT SCENES, scream scream scream. ⚔️

Queen is too small a word to describe her, truly.

Waking up at 4 something am on a work day hungry, with heartburn, while sick, seems like a GREAT time to make myself laksa noodle soup

Stumbled upon my notes for the last, still being rewritten (v5 so far, not that I've written anything during the entirety of 2023), Murder Will Out chapter today.

I miss it. I love it. It is possibly the best thing I've written/plotted. I don't know if I'll ever go back.

2023 has been so, so hard.
November 12, 2023 at 4:50 AM
Well, I have 28 hours to master my features into something resembling bland professionalism.

Wuxia people can just sword it out. Gotta say that sounds much more appealing today.
October 22, 2023 at 7:48 PM
Mysterious Lotus Casebook keeps giving me more feels the more I think about it (and I don't even have time to rewatch it). Truly, the gift that keeps on giving.

I haven't had a lot of time for fandom this year, but I am still occasionally reminded that it's a lifelong love.
