Meh

It's honestly depressing how little the world has learned during this pandemic. Governments are saying we now need to 'live with it' despite doing nothing to actually facilitate that. So basically it's get sick and if you're one of the unfortunate ones who dies well so be it.

I'm fully vaccinated and boostered so I'm as protected as I can be, but the idea of going anywhere now has me as anxious as I was this time last year. Chances are if I get covid at this stage I'll be unwell for a few days and then be okay, but I might not be. And even if I am that doesn't mean I want to go out and knowingly get myself sick because all preventions are being removed.

This morning I got a gleeful email from one of the airports down in London proclaiming that 'travel is back on' because PCR tests are no longer mandatory before getting on a plane. Yeah, no, I will be staying in the UK for the forseeable, thanks.

It just feels like we haven't made any progress at all, or at least that no one cares anymore. It's all about making money.

I am Tired.

I'm trying not to dwell on it too much, or I'm just going to wind up depressed to the point where I don't want to get out of bed.

So, carrying on with snowflake_challenge

Challenge #4

In your own space, make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1. I have a blanket transformative works policy so if anyone wants to do art, or remix one of my fics, or record a podfic, they are more than welcome.

2. More queer Pangzi fic. It makes me sad he's either relegated to the best friend or given a female love interest a lot of the time. Let him be queer!

3. More Iron Triangle OT3 fic. I feel like me and my little discord clan are the only ones writing it.

4. Comments/Kudos on my fics. This fandom is actually pretty good at this but it's always nice to get more

5. More ace rep in fic. I'm as guilty of this as anyone, but I've written a couple now and I'd love for there to be more.

Dramas I've finished this year

A few days ago I was tagged in a thing on tumblr to list 10 characters I fell in love with last year. I found that I really struggled to remember what I'd watched in 2021 vs 2020 because it all felt like one very long year.

So, I'm going to keep a list of what I've watched this year so that I can check back at the end of the year :D

1. Hawkeye - Started this last year but finished it last week because I was watching it with Jacqui so we left the last episode until we were both back from the holidays. It was fun. A nice mesh of the Fraction comics and the MCU version of Clint. Kate was awesome.
