halfcactusRecently enjoyed Wednesday's Child by Niv Sekar, a little f/f urban fantasy comic about a woman who wakes up curiously numb after a night in the club. She finds out over the next few weeks that someone had cast a spell to make her emotions disappear.
It was what she needed, but it wasn't kind.
(This is mostly to remind myself to check out Niv Sekar's work if ever they're on Shortbox again since I quite like her writing and art style.)

Talk about what has improved in your life thanks to fandom.
My perspective; My world is so small and boring and stationary but I've been realizing lately how broad my PoV has become in spite of it. The perks of not being limited to physical proximity. XD Also travel! If it weren't for fandom friends, I never would have gone on the quest to try the black sesame chiffon cake in New Taipei City... There's no way I would have known it would have existed and that I was capable of enjoying a dessert that much...!

Misc.:
The Lovers release has been pushed to 2026. *sad dolphin noises*
Fanmix rec: The Magician (Arcane - Viktor) by fairykiss: great tracklist, great cover and track art
Manga I recently enjoyed (all ongoing): Though I Am an Inept Villainess (universally cherished but chronically ill heroine x reviled but healthy villainess bodyswap; inner palace intrigue; gen), When I Became a Commoner, They Broke Off Our Engagement! (a fairy's mischief: a commoner and a noble are swapped at birth, to be returned to the "right" parents when they're older; the men appear to only exist so they can help the girls achieve their goals of social change...)... Megane, Tokidoki, Yankee-kun (high school romance between a reformed delinquent and a girl who used to be bullied by delinquents)
A cnovel I recently bookmarked and briefly skimmed but am not sure I'll actually read: 全宇宙最后一只猫 The Last Cat in the Universe: The MC is a former pampered house cat that is determined to cultivate to the ultimate nine-tail form; fantranslation appears to be incomplete.
It was what she needed, but it wasn't kind.

Re: the last cat in the universe !!!! (I read it on my Last in the Universe phase after the dinosaur novel. So many old things are translated now O:) is one of those novels that joined in the trend with a xianxia in space with mecha concepts (yeah, potluck time ~). It's pure fluff that needs high suspension of disbelief. Sweet and slightly blur main character (bottom). Commander general love interest.
I think it features a little bit of social media and forum reactions to the 'last cat' and following his news too.

I do like fluff, I’m just not sure this type of story warrants 80-90 chapters. 😂 I have a hard time with social media/forum elements so it’s good to know that they’re going to be a thing haha

(The Space Xianxia Dinosaur and Cactus, though I would recommend these if I ever recall the novel names.)
