Ah, yes. Uncle Billy. He was great.

I am slowly working my way through his memoir; I downloaded it from Gutenberg and gave it this cover.
A photo of W. Tecumseh Sherman (the one where he's looking to his left (our right) with his right hand tucked into his jacket) done in the Yes We Can color blocked style. Below the image are the words DIE MAD. It's the cover I made for a downloaded copy of his memoir.

This is from Bourne Legacy. We call this the Sweater Movie at my house. I am going to make this sweater. It's so gorgeous. (Oscar Isaac is also good looking in it, but I want the KNITTING, plz.)

Here you go!!
A large tan tabby cat lying in a window with rainbow light all over him. A small tan tabby cat sad that she's not getting to eat any of the food on the counter, none of which she likes. A landscape with low grass and tall fronded plants in front of water reflecting the blue sky and clouds. In the distance, tall dark green trees line the horizon. A large tan tabby cat has stolen my office chair. He looks smug. The office is cluttered.

I... there is a solution. It's just, possibly, too much?

#wangxian I'm working on the short 'WWX claps back' story about LXC's shitty Guanyin Temple speech. I'm about to move from hand notes to typed ones.

There's a lot to address in The Speech and I need to work out just how WWX would do it. Also when LWJ arrives.
Three index cards with hand-written story notes about a different response from Wei Wuxian to Lan Xichen's 'only mistake' speech in the Guanyin Temple. WWX isn't having it.

so, uh

pen

(The series is a cozy necromancer set in Oakland, California in a fantasy world like ours, but in which people are, generally, nicer, there wasn't covid, and also necromancy and magic exist. Honestly, the no-covid and no homophobia are the most fantastical parts of the story.)
Three photos, stacked vertically. The top two are of a Jinhao 82 fountain pen with cap on. The pen is translucent blue with sparkles in, and the trim is 'gold'. The top photo is the pen un-inked, the second is the pen inked, with Antique Copper colored ink. The third photo is the pen laid diagonally across the top right corner of an index card with hand written notes on it. The card reads: The Graveyard Cafe (2) Belonging Season: novella, how it started (1) Unwilling Thief: novel, Kieran et al must find out who is raising ghosts and using them to commit crimes (3) Silver Dreams: novel, Kieran helps Zayn discover the truth about his family's past (4) Night Temptation: novella, vignettes of the family getting to know each other

A large tan tabby cat curled on his side on a furry rug and next to a pillow in a rainbow batik cover. The entire scene is covered in rainbow light (from a plastic film on the window). Everything is glowing pretty colors.

This is the second time I've seen this name being re-used (non MDZS danmei) and it never stops being funny.
White text on a black background; the first couple paragraphs of a description of a danmei. It reads: In this novel series originally released in Chinese—and which inspired a number of multimedia adaptations—two disaffected young men stuck in a run-down city discover that everything changes once they find each other. Unwanted by his adoptive parents, JIANG CHENG leaves home to live in a cold, gray city with his deadbeat dad whose only talent is feeding a gambling addiction. Alone save for his suitcase, the rebellious teenage boy arrives at the train station ready to face his miserable new life.

A Star Trek book titled The Price of the Phoenix, by Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath. There are three Kirk faces partially layered over each other; the center one is in blue shades with an angry expression. The background is marbled reds and purples.

I thought she meant this (please excuse my awful drawing):
a very sloppy drawing of a cat standing over a toilet bowl, looking up at the viewer. It's an attempt to show a way the cat might be peeing into the toilet.

Here's what I've ended up with. The map is an old European map of China, and the locations are... maaayyyyyybeeeee in the right places? Why are MXTX's maps so wonky?

I'll record the second chapter, then upload both together.
A podfic cover. The background is a colored old European map of China. On top of that image is the title (Remaking History to Find You) and the author (KizuKatana) and the reader (Stasia Reader). Also a little mountain roughly where Yiling would be and one near where Gusu would be, with a dotted line between them.

A floofy gray cat is being interviewed, with a round-headed silver microphone. In the first panel, the cat is asked, "Sir, are you aware you are a cat?" In the second panel, the cat is silently looking at the offscreen interviewer with a startled expression.

A cartoony image of a mountain over some green hills, with water running downhill into a river, then into 'the ocean'. The image is titled The Water Cycle. There are blue wavy lines going up from the 'ocean'; these are titled The Boys Are Back In Town. Then a blue arrow moves from the top of those arrows toward the mountaintop. That arrow is titled Boyz II Men. Raindrops fall on the mountain, accompanied by a blue arrow titled It's Raining Men. The raindrops collect into the river, with a blue arrow pointing toward the 'ocean', titled Ol' Man River.

Oh, *these* stats. Sure.

I'm sure I'll get over a million words here and I think I'll get a treat when I do. (This number is missing all the writing I do professionally, which would add ~300K.)

I was most prolific on AO3 in 2014-2016, and I'd kind of like to get back to writing more fic.

A photo of a cabinet with jars of spices. The text reads: Spices were first brought to Western Europe in the Middle Ages. Some of them are still at the back of my cupboard.

Here's Amos, who is huge and soft and squidgy.
A large tan tabby cat lies curled up with his head up in a wingchair with pale upholstery. Behind the wing chair is a window looking out onto a green wilderness. The cat, Amos, looks soft and sleepy, because he woke up from a nap when I came into the room. He immediately put his head back down and fell back asleep when I didn't come to pet him.

I think they come with whipped cream and cherries?

I made this with cod and spinach and it was delicious. I'll make a few changes next time, but it's definitely going into the rotation. I'm also thinking about making the pockets in advance and freezing them raw.
A slightly messy pile of food: cooked cod, with chunks of soft and delicious tomato and spinach mixed in, all with a slice of lemon on the top. This is all in a deep bowl with blue and white stripes going from the center of the bowl to the rim.

Screenshot of fanfic titled Hand in Hand is the Only Way to Land. It's Untamed/MDZS fanfic, very soft and fluffy. Summary: Wei Ying considered knocking on a nearby door and asking whoever opened it to be his cat-rescuing buddy. Then he saw a flash of light in the distance through the drizzle. A white-clad cyclist came skimming quietly along the street like a very fast ghost. “Hey!” called Wei Ying. “Excuse me!” The cat-stuck-in-a-tree meet cute. Or: a rare occasion where Wei Ying’s hero complex doesn’t kick him in the teeth.

Here you go. An Catte.
A small tan tabby cat face peeks out of a bright light blue knitted top. The pile of cat/knitting is on a colorful red duvet and a colorful blue/green floral pillow. The cat, Peaches, looks extremely smug.
