Aeronautic Primates and Other Delights

On the Critical Role front, a friend has sent me some very specific spoilers about last night's episode as well as timestamps to avoid, so I'm going to try to watch it again this weekend but this time going in prepared. When I watch this time, I'm going to very carefully fast-forward through some scenes to try to avoid being set off again like I was when I was watching it live. We'll see how it goes?

I've gotta admit, one of the biggest things that annoys me about Critical Role is their refusal to add content warnings of any type even now that they're prerecording. It was one thing when they were properly airing live, because that just wasn't possible, but now? It would definitely help to at least have an option to know in advance that an episode was going to include certain topics. They gave warnings for the Divergence miniseries, so it's definitely possible for them to do. They just... don't do it most of the time.

Let's see... I finally managed to get my Yuletide sign-up done earlier this afternoon. It took a lot longer than I was expecting, but I got it in so that's a relief. I'm having a few regrets about not trimming down my list of offers a bit more than I did, but that happens every year so we'll just see how it goes.

The Dragon Age Reverse Bang's deadline is Sunday, so my artist and I are both hurrying to get everything finished. My brain's a bit mush right now despite me napping after work, because A. I slept like crap and B. I think that I might be coming down with something, so I think that I'm going to go to bed in a bit so that I can plan on getting up early and curling up with my laptop to spend the day writing until I get this ever-growing monster of a fic done.

Okay, yeah, I think that I may no longer be watching Critical Role.

( Rambling under the cut. )

ETA: In retrospect, I was definitely having a mild panic attack for a while there, so I've apparently found a fun new trigger. A friend is sending me some very specific spoilers and timestamps about last night's episode, so I'm going to try it again when I can go in prepared. It's not as bad as it initially seemed, but the way it was handled was definitely... not great.

I swear that it feels like time's speeding by the last few days, to the point where I haven't been able to get anything done. It's because I've been having to nap in the afternoons to make up for my lack of sleep at night, so it's not like I don't know why I feel like I have no spare time, but still.

D&D starts in about ten minutes, so that's going to take up the right of my night. Tomorrow, I have to finish up my Yuletide letter and sign-up whether my brain likes it or not. It's taking forever because I'm requesting multiple new fandoms this year, so I'm having to write those sections of the letter from scratch, but I'm running out of time so I've gotta get it finished.

Then I desperately need to finish my fic for the Dragon Age Reverse Bang by Saturday at the latest. It's due on Sunday, and both my artist and I are scrambling to finish up. The fic's one of those ones that decided to keep growing and growing on me, as isn't uncommon with that fandom, which hasn't exactly helped.

Come on, brain. Cooperate for just a few days. Please?
