August summary: lockdown + got vaxxed + bought some stationery (you can see them here) and a digital keyboard (Casiotouch S1--I'm thinking about posting some sort of ~review~ when I have more time).

I finished a lot of media in August, but most of them were books I started a while back, or shows I've been groupwatching over a period of months. ^^;

TV/Movies

( HiStory3 Trapped, The Day of Becoming You, Kamen Rider Build, Minari )

Books

Neon Yang, "The Black Tides of Heaven": thoughts here

Jessica Zafra, "Twisted Travels: Rambles in Central Europe”: thoughts here

Allie Brosh, "Solutions and Other Problems": I liked this book for personal reasons, but due to the content, it's in no way a pleasant or enjoyable read. "Banana" was very funny, though. I'm also anti-reccing the physical book as it is very, very heavy and unwieldy. Might sell my physical copy and switch to digital when I have more energy. (Book contains: pet illness + death, suicide and grief, cancer scare, medical situations, drugs)

Lastly, a list of fanworks I made throughout the month:

The Day of Becoming You Tumblr gifset tag in chronological order

The Day of Becoming You gifs (Twitter thread)

Couple of Mirrors (12-episode republican era GL drama, which we're now groupwatching) gifs (Twitter thread)

Piano arrangement/sheet music for Crush On (ep 22 piano BGM) from The Day of Becoming You

Piano arrangement/sheet music for My Soul (ep 23 guitar BGM) from The Day of Becoming You: here's a video of me playing a draft of this arrangement, using a random instrument setting in my new keyboard XD
