Title: Finding Yourself in a New World – Chapter 6: Her Own Personal Code
Day/Prompt: Day 6 / Her Own Personal Code
Fandom: Warrior Nun (TV)
Character/Pairing: Yasmine, Camila, Ava, Mary, Shannon
Rating/Warning(s): T / None
Word Count: 4166
Summary: Despite Yasmine's fears about breaking the law, once she gets to know the workers on Kasar and sees how they are treated, she throws herself into helping them without regard for the risk. Yasmine even takes on an extra mission when she learns about an injustice that she can correct.
Author's Notes: So, life attacked me (or rather, the vibes were not right, they were right for watching a lot of shows but not writing, lol), meaning I have now broken my 401 day streak of posting one fic or chapter every single day. Honestly, I'm kind of relieved about it. But I am determined to finish this fic for Halfamoon, I just might be a bit late with some of the prompts.

Summary:

Misadventures in the fourth estate

I don't have much to say about this year's Festivid. I like how it came out, but it's also very much the kind of vid when you sign up for Festivids and then almost immediately buy a house and just need to make some kind of vid.

Has anyone watched The Paper? It's one of those sitcoms whose first seasons make you think, well maybe this is promising. Some of those shows get more time and figure things out, most of them just get cancelled before they can figure those things out. Its connection to The Office is mostly a funny running gag that the accountant Oscar has not escaped the documentary crew from the Office as they make a new doc about a newspaper. But I liked the idea of making a show about the futility of trying to make a useful local newspaper in the year 2025. It's delightfully quixotic, and so as much as this is a ship vid I also wanted to make a vid celebrating that noble ambition of making the community better by giving people better information, waging war against the avalanche of slop.

Per my last post, I intended to make two specific dishes for dinner this weekend (panko-crusted pork chops and pasta with sausage and cabbage), and my groceries were ordered with that in mind. Three guesses as to what did not arrive with my order, and the first two don't count. (Spoiler: it was the sausage and the pork chops.)

Sigh.

I gave up on today and just ordered pizza, and I think tomorrow I will pivot to mac and cheese because I have all the ingredients for that without having to do a second grocery delivery.

This afternoon, I baked an apple-cranberry crumble since I had 2 apples I hadn't eaten yet and all those cranberries hanging around. Instead of walnuts, I used pecans and instead of raisins I used chocolate chips, and I used maple sugar over the fruit instead of regular, and it smells fantastic. I can't wait to cut into it. I might need to make some whipped cream to eat with it.

The wind is whipping around like crazy and it's supposed to be super extra cold tomorrow, so I hope everyone is safe and warm, wherever you are.

February 15 is almost here, and it’s time to get ready for the 12th annual International Fanworks Day (IFD)! This year’s theme is Alternate Universes (AUs), and in honor of #IFD2026, the OTW has quite a few activities planned to celebrate with all of you. Check out the list below to find out how you can get involved!

Feedback Fest: It wouldn’t be IFD without our annual Feedback Fest! This is your chance to share your favorite Alternate Universe fanworks and get some great recommendations for yourself in return. Look for our Feedback Fest post on February 13, and leave a comment with 10 fanwork recommendations for your fellow fans. On social media, use the tag #FeedbackFest when posting.
Share your fanworks: Tag your own AU fanworks on AO3 with International Fanworks Day 2026, or share them on social media using the #IFD2026 or #IFDChallenge2026 tags!
Fanlore Challenge: The festivities aren’t limited to AO3! Fanlore, the OTW’s fannish history and culture wiki, will be celebrating as well! From February 10-16, join Fanlore for a new editing challenge to complete every day. To participate, refer to the IFD 2026 Fanlore Challenge page for more information.
Games and Fan Chat: On February 15, we’ll be opening the gates of the OTW’s once-a-year Discord server. Join us between 21:00 UTC February 14 (What time is that for me?) and 03:00 UTC February 16 (What time is that for me?) to play games and chat with other fans! The chat room will be moderated in English, and we’ll post a detailed schedule on the 15th.

We also invited you to send us your community events for this IFD, so in addition to what we’re doing, here are some fan-led events:

Despite the continuing grotty weather, I pushed myself out for a couple of walks today, meaning I've crept over 10,000 steps. Thanks to hurting my leg I haven't done that very often recently, but I wanted to get back to it and so I mostly feel being out in the drizzle was worth it! I did briefly think about posting a photo again – not a 365-style one, just something mildly interesting – but to be honest everything looks so dreary in these conditions that it's going to have to wait a few days.

Current Mood: gloomy

Another round-up! I have now written over thirty fills for

threesentenceficathon… absolutely wild, especially considering that I’m pretty sure this is over double my previous “best” for most fills written. Again, there is so much Pokémon in this batch… I freely admit that my personal goal at this point is to try to fill as many of the Cyrus/Dawn and Volo/Akari prompts as I possibly can. (…It would be very cool if I could manage all of them, but let us be realistic in our goal-setting, haha.)

Pokémon (Main Games), Cyrus/Dawn, for the prompt You bring me to my knees, you make me testify / You can make a sinner change his ways

Pokémon Legends Arceus, Volo/Akari (& Ginter, kind of), for the prompt Who are they anyway / With their sticks and stones

Pokémon Legends Arceus, Volo/Akari, for the prompt I was trying to find ya, see if the love was still the same / Visions of us that don't fade

Fire Emblem Awakening, Severa/Lucina, for the prompt any f/f, i have lost a hero, i have lost a friend

Fire Emblem Fates, Camilla/Selena, for the prompt any f/f, hungry hearts

Pokémon (Main Games), Cyrus/Dawn, for the prompt My love, it lies so deep / Ever dream of me?

Pokémon (Main Games), Cyrus/Dawn & Darkrai, as a second fill for the prompt My love, it lies so deep / Ever dream of me?

Pokémon Legends Arceus, Volo/Akari, for the prompt Did it just to hurt me, make me cry / Smiling through it all, yeah, that's my life

Am doing Animorphs reread with my friends and wanted to record my thoughts.

The Invasion -- Jake POV
The Message -- Rachel POV
The Encounter -- Tobias POV

It's fascinating in these early books to see what will become firm team dynamics get laid down. Animorphs is about how war is terrible, and each of the six main characters embodies this in a different way.

Some thoughts:

ME: [foolishly] "2026 is the year I really take work-life balance seriously!"

WORK: [amused chuckle]

Life Is Strange (2015, PC) -- Beat it! It took me about twelve hours total. Thanks, I hated it.

Okay, I didn't hate all of it. It makes some ambitious narrative swings: admirable. It does a really nice job with the character of Chloe: vibrant, original, memorable, fallible. And I liked how it handled Max friendzoning Warren. Maybe there are different outcomes if you're meaner to him, but I had Max politely reject all of Warren's overtures, and he took those rejections in stride and was friendly and supportive to the bitter end. What a good little bro (at least in my playthrough).

I also genuinely liked the ending and how it presents Max's final choice. Her time-traveling powers aren't for fixing problems, the game argues at the last minute. They're for creating a week-long temporal tree-fort. After squandering her precious life (not contacting Chloe when she moves back, hiding behind her camera to avoid meaningful connections with her classmates, creating selfie after selfie in Narcissus-like self-absorption), the universe generously hands her a temporary reprieve to hang out with her soulmate and her hometown one last time.

Après nous, le déluge.

In movie news, Cineplex has a listing for Zhu Yilong's new movie, Scare Out, which is apparently opening in Canada on Feb. 17. I refuse to let myself be excited about this, after having so much hope about Dongji Rescue last summer. But maybe it'll open here and I'll be able to see it! At least the 17th is before the crunch at work starts.

Reading: To shake things up a bit from Kurosagi, this week I reread the first two volumes of Hikaru no Go. In both of these cases, I'm pretty much relying on Goodreads to tell me when I get to volumes I haven't previously read. Awkwardly for my sense of "what even is time?", this means that I now know that I first read vol. 1 of Hikaru no Go in 2006 and vol. 1 of The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service in 2008.

My sense of how far I got into Hikaru no Go is completely nonexistent, since I know I read some number of volumes at some point, and I saw some of the anime (long enough ago that I know we were still living in the co-op we moved out of over fifteen years ago), and

scruloose and I (much later) saw the c-drama in its entirety. It's all rather a jumble. But seeing the c-drama did inspire me to finish buying the manga, and I guess its time has come!

I did wind up reading all of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and the upshot, given my uncertainty about finishing it to begin with, is unsurprisingly that I doubt I'll pick up the second book. I think it's very safe to say that LitRPG is not my thing. I did wind up liking the book more overall than I would've thought back around the 40% mark or so, though.

Watching: We're caught up on The Pitt and one episode behind on Frieren. We've also seen the second episode of Midnight Mass, which has a lot of animal harm; I don't have any triggers that I'm aware of, but it was enough to be upsetting.

Playing: I think I've finished Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven, which is to say that I've finished the main plot and done a few wrapping-up things, leaving me free to idly manage the cult and do dungeon runs, but that's usually when I wander off.

Weathering: We're having some of what I would call Normal Snow for the second time this week. The first time, a few days ago, I realized I've started to basically think in terms of "winter days that are cold but not much is happening outside" and "snowstorms", without much in between, but that's probably a result of leaving the house so rarely as much as it's a byproduct of climate change.

It snowed overnight and we've ended up with maybe 1 ½ inches of new snow, but it's also very windy and although the temperature is around 12F/-11C, the windchill is more like -4F/-20C.

Did I mention that Aria asked me to teach her to crochet? I was a bit dubious since she's only 6, but I showed her how to make chain stitches and she seems to have caught on quite well. Her attention span is so short, though, that she will do two stitches and then declare that's enough for the day. She is far from holding the hook and the yarn correctly, but she does understand the basics of making a new stitch, which is a good start.

I'm still enjoying watching Naruto Shippuden, but the pacing is starting to get to me... I'm in the Tenchi Bridge arc right now and it just feels like everything has been moving so slowly for so long. I'll get through it, I'll get through it... but I am kind of wondering if maybe it would just be a better idea to read the manga. But then I miss out on the voice acting and the color and the fight animation! Hmm. It's something I'm thinking about.

I've also been meaning to catch up with Kai-Hen Wizards again! I missed when it returned from hiatus, so there are about 20 chapters or so right now that are subscription locked... but the subscription is only like $2 a month, so I think I'll get it soon for a month, catch up on Kai-Hen Wizards, and then drop it. I'll probably even be able to do it during the free trial period of a week.

I've also decided to cancel my subscription to marquee.tv, an excellent site that has a lot of opera, ballet, and theater performances recorded that you can watch with a subscription. I just wasn't using it! I'm trying to get a handle on my backlogs in general, of video games and books and shows and etc., and I just wasn't using this subscription, though I'm really glad that it exists as a service.

Other subscriptions I currently have include DCU Infinite and Dropout, both of which I also need to use more often... but I do actually use them, at least. Other than that, there's Crunchyroll of course, and Amazon Prime... one day I will cancel Amazon Prime, but I just! keep! buying! things! from Amazon. I've gotten better at curbing my spending, but I still use it often enough that it feels worth it... but it would be nice if I could stop buying shit on Amazon often enough that a Prime subscription would be worth cancelling.

So now my biggest backlog items are video games and books. I need to get in the habit of reading on my phone instead of playing games or browsing ffa when I'm bored! The video games... well, I'll get to them eventually. Right now my main focus entertainment-wise (especially wrt my TV) is Naruto Shippuden, so I expect to make more headway with the video game backlog once I'm done with Naruto.

I started with the main/downtown section of the festival and boy do I have regrets. There is a reason I usually mind the outskirts of the festival for interesting photos and experiences.

The Portland Winter Lights Festival is a 2 week thing with over 200 art installations and events. Last year they ranged from giant metal fire breathing dragon at the waterfront to 'store that happens to sell a few glow in the dark items is open late'. Also, last year I saw a drag king performance based on I Saw The TV Glow. It is a highly varied experience, and the website is deeply unhelpful. I can tell you already that some of the images this year are concept art and not actually was what done. There is cool stuff, but to find it you just need to keep hopping around hundreds of sites and hoping.

I've had a good time at the festival in the past. One year it happened during that extended snowstorm/power outage Portland had and I remember trudging through deep snow to see the fire powered light events, a truly surreal experience.

Anyway, the main downtown space can get crowded and people can get pushy. I don't have a sense of balance so people pushing me side to make a hole for their group is A Problem for me. Some lady wanted to push through a line I was in, rather than go around. I asked her to cut behind me instead of in front for a specific reason, and she had a expletive filled crash out at me.

I hopefully got at least 2 good pictures, but yeah, there is a reason I usually skip the main area. I am *hopefully* hitting the Electric Blocks and some east side stuff tonight, then I'll start sorting through lists to see what else I want to hit. The only exhibit up on St John's is... an art exhibit that's been there year round for years.

Also, damn, just like I need a dedicated Mike Bennett folder I need to start a PDXWLF folder.
