Gonna be weird not having my sister and the kids over at all tomorrow. Probably for the best I don't have them around as an excuse to procrastinate, though, lol.

I can't remember if I followed up on my plans to wax the floors last weekend but it didn't happen. I wasn't sure if my brother or my oldest niece would be coming over to get some stuff for me, I wanted to look into renting a floor cleaner, I let myself get distracted... Anyway, I swept and mopped and I'll be doing another pass again tomorrow before going ahead and getting it done. I'll start with the kitchen, dining area and hallway, I think, since I can get it all done in a more or less straight line backing into my room. After that cures, I'll hit the living room. I may do the bathrooms while I'm waiting on that, not sure yet.

Since I'll need to move all the furniture anyway, I'm thinking of rearranging the living room while I'm at it. In part, I admit, because I think it'd be funny if my mom came home to find everything moved without warning. Idk, though, we talked about moving things before but she might prefer to be here for it. I'll see how I feel about it in the morning, I guess.

The humidity has been so stifling this week. I can still bear it enough to have my lunch outside but I've not been walking around after eating like I was for a bit. That does at least mean more time to read, I guess, but I was enjoying those walks. Looking at the growing plants, looking for lizards and bugs... I didn't even take time today to check on my little spider friends in the bushes next to my lunch spot.

Man, time really got away from me tonight. I had a to-do list and everything. But then I realized I needed a few groceries and my brother was available to run me to the store. It didn't even take all that long but it was enough to derail the entire rest of my night.

But, I mean, hey. Got what I needed. Made the dinner I wanted. And I wasn't planning anything tonight that can't be done tomorrow. In fact, if I can make myself fall asleep early enough, I may even be able to do some of it in the morning. Can't be too upset, can I?

The Transformers/Jem collab was officially revealed and... I'm so disappointed ToT

Most of the Collaborative line is made up of original characters based on iconic vehicles from the crossover property or at least transforming robot versions of the other property's characters. What does Jem get? Not a transforming Rockin Roadster, no. It gets funky-colored Blaster and a handful of cassettes. Literally reduced to a colorway.

Idk, I guess I'm glad they gave it Blaster instead of defaulting to Soundwave. And one of the cassettes is Rosanna, who I was hoping to see involved. All three cassettes (Rosanna, Glit and Sundor) in the set are from Transformers: Kiss Players, actually, and if you don't know what that is... I'll let you look into that on your own time, lol. Just don't do it at work. Suffice to say, I'm glad to see some characters get "rescued" from its depths and it's kinda cute that they're being released together as they were originally. This just isn't really how I would've like to see that happen.

All in all, I'm incredibly disappointed and I probably won't be making an attempt at an order. The Blaster isn't bad but he doesn't interest me. I would kinda like to have Rosanna, maybe Glit. Maybe even Sundor. But I don't really have a way I'd like to display them, so they'd be a waste of space. Maybe if there was any guarantee of getting Flip Sides and Howlback later, I could be bothered to come up with something. As it stands, meh.

I've got some hot peppers pickling along with some onion and a few cloves of garlic. I got it going on a whim but now I'm looking forward to making hot sauce for the first time! It'll be a pretty small batch but I think that's fine to just try it out. If I like the results, I can always be more deliberate about it next time.

i should be sleeping right now....

Cleaning update: nearly completed folding of the laundry (I have a couple more baskets to go so yay me), cleaned the bathroom (minus the tub, did mop the floor at least), cleaned OUT the couch, and vacuumed the living room. Managed to break a light fixture for my new living room ceiling fan I don't have up yet (which it is way past return date so I'm going to see if I can superglue it back together otherwise meh) - it's about right, I've broken at least three dishes within the last couple months (my Captain America & Sailor Moon cup and a bowl). I need to work on cleaning my room, getting the spare bed dusted/cleaned, laundry put away, and vacuuming the rest of the house. I'd also like to get the gardening beds put together ideally but that is backburner right now. I'd also like to re-organize my books and clean out the storage room. I also need to clean out my car.

So this weekend, other than cleaning, my brother came over and worked a bit more on the office floor - apparently it needs more floor leveler so he couldn't start that part (which fair, I never did end up painting anyway). He started me on watching Star Wars: Clone Wars show since I enjoyed the Maul show. Except early seasons animation was not great, so I don't know if I'll watch more of it without him. I don't know why but I just enjoy Star Trek stuff more? Maybe I just need to be in the mood for animated stuff.

So I updated Capes & Crusaders TCG today, only did a couple decks - but I had the idea last week to start a Make a Deck option at the community, so I got some rules/guidelines up for it - haven't started making what I have YET, but hopefully the concept works. *shrugs* I did end up returning to a "Monthly Theme" concept - except this one, since it's consisting of Pride, Spider-Man, and Supergirl is going to last until the end of August.

No writing this weekend, but I do think I'm going to pass on the [community profile] unconventionalcourtship this year - I just can't find one that I want to try, or I get sorta close but meh. It does inspire me to want to work on my X-Men Pairing & Prompt Generator - I'm planning on making a MCU one and a DC Comics one - the plan for writers to be inspired of different pairings for xmen100, mcu100 and now dc100.

I've been through a few paths in those Find Your Fate Jr Transformers books with the niblings. They're no great literature, as you probably didn't need me to tell you, but it's charming how straightforwardly nonsense they are. Also how they just kinda do their own thing, like referring to Seaspray as a destroyer (he's traditionally a hovercraft) and Sunstreaker as a race car (traditionally a Lamborghini Countach). Or bringing up sort of obscure characters as if tehy're established team members. Got a bit of an attitude too. Like, one of them outright goes, "Don't you feel just awful? You made a bad choice!" for an ending where you get Bumblebee tortured to death, lol. Which feels even meaner since they make you flip across two pages to get there, despite there being no further options to save him.

We've only looked at two books so far and not in their entirety. When I get a chance, I want to go through and see if I can pick out any specific author quirks in each. All of the books I have now were written by different people but some of the others have repeat writers, so that'll be neat to see when I've got them all.

6/7/26 Note: So this post should have been posted May 31st, but instead, basically a week later since my computer did a weird freezing thing for the internet. So while I lost a little more writing on the original post, I did manage to screenshot what was originally written - so that's what you guys get here.

Welp, ending this month with a lot more icons being made than writing again. I have kind of a busy schedule for the month of June, so I'm not sure exactly how much I'll be around, but I do want to make a few posts in June (I've been wanting to talk about the latest books, films and shows I've been watching) here and some drabbles/fics (I seem to keep getting distracted by iconing instead of writing, lol).

Anyway, I signed up for [community profile] marvel_bang - I haven't quite decided exactly what I'm going to do for it - either I'm starting the long awaited sequel to Falling Slowly (XME, Rogue/Scott), working on the WIP Hearts & Souls (MCU/TASM, Darcy/Steve, Tony/Pepper, Peggy, Howard/Maria, Peter/Gwen, Mary) that I haven't touched in years, or starting a brand new Rogue/Scott or MCU related work. I'm leaning towards the Hearts & Souls mostly because that one is at least started - I think I need to see the original movie again for inspiration, that might help me write more. I don't know though, because Wanda has been inspiring me a lot more lately, so who knows.

I do want to do a [community profile] unconventionalcourtship but I can't find a summary that intrigues me enough to write for it yet - sign ups close June 10 so I still have some time to look for something. I really want to do a Kara/Maxwell (Arrowverse) fic for it though. I also tentatively signed up for [community profile] launchtheship for Batman/Joker/Lois (Harley Quinn animated series) and Bucky/Kate/Yelena (MCU) - but there are a few other Marvel ships that don't have anything that I've found. 

Okay so besides wanting to get more writing done this month, I also want to work on more decks for Capes & Crusaders TCG. I got distracted (lmao again), by making icons otherwise I'd have completed a couple decks today (I have images for Aquaman's Lorena Marquez and started saving image hunting for Batman Beyond's Aquagirl & Big Barda). If saving images wasn't so annoying anymore, it would get done faster (I hate when I go to save an image and it tries to save it as anything but what it is - I don't know who THAT was a good idea but fuck them). I did at least put up the previous Pride header in honor of Pride Month (minus the original purple background). I did pay attention that I could do at least a deck within an hour (maybe more) depending on if I have images or not. It's when I have to go looking for images I get lost and become distracted or down a rabbit hole and find mismatched images (for example I went looking for Rachel/Betsy & Betsy/Warren images, ended up getting scattered images of Betsy with Beast, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Storm, and Emma as well). I'm thinking of kind of doing a Make a Deck challenge at the community, where I'd make cards out of the images I have and ask members for help/donations to fill in the rest - that might be best? I do miss character/ship fansites so much though - they used to help so much.  

So anyway the reason why I'll be busy in June, will be because my aunt will be visiting from June 13th-June 20th (or maybe a little less? she said she has to leave early for a party). So I'm not sure how much time I'll get to be on the computer doing that period of time. Also my friend who moved to Colorado will be here for a few days as well (I told her she was welcomed anytime and because something another one her friends is dealing with, she came to the east coast). So what THAT all means - I have to actually clean clean my house. I don't know if it's a mixture of anxiety/depression or some other mental disorder (or just how I was raised) but doing chores are a struggle for me so I usually do the bare minimum, but I can usually motivate myself to clean when "company" is coming a lot more than normal, especially now after working 10+ hours a day. Started doing all the laundry baskets that I've been avoiding this weekend, so I should be current by next weekend. I need to check out [community profile] bitesizedcleaning for tricks/inspiration.

Also new community alert! 
dc100 [community profile] dc100 similar to of course [community profile] mcu100 and [community profile] xmen100, just encompasses ANY DC universe.

Didn't do the floors today because I realized too late that I don't have gloves I'm not scrubbing with this cleaner without them. It's not even really that harsh but it really irritated my skin last time for some reason. Maybe it's the fragrance, Idk. It's fine, though. I can get a pack of gloves from the dollar store tomorrow. In the meantime, I can make sure everything's ready to be moved. I'm so looking forward to sliding around the slick floors in my socks-- I mean, to having clean and shiny floors ;>_>

Got another handful of the Transformers Find Your Fate Jr books. Including one that I already have a copy of, oops. That's what I get for not going ahead and making the spreadsheet, I guess. Anyway, I gave the spare to my niece (sister's oldest) and she's pretty happy about it, so I can't be too fussed. Just gotta pay more attention next time. In any case, I've got about half of them now. One I still need to get is weirdly expensive on ThriftBooks. I've seen a few lots on eBay and at least a couple of them include that one. I might stake out that search and get the other half-ish that way, then give any extra copies to my niece.

Another package that showed up today was of some Transformers comics I bought kind of on accident. I saw an unusually good price for a couple trades on Shop Goodwill and since they don't have a watchlist, I put in a bid with the expectation that someone would outbid me and I could see what they ended up going for. I then forgot about it until I received the email confirmed I'd won the auction. Yay for me...? I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with these, tbh. They're in the middle of the run, so not easy to just hand off to someone. I don't want to turn around and immediately list them on eBay. Buuut I also don't actually want them, lol. Ah, well, at least they won't take up much space while I decide.

Last fun thing I got today was something I completely forgot was coming. I preordered the first volume of The Delinquent and the Transfer Student, apparently. I remember wanting it, I remember finding the listing on Bookshop.org, I do not at all remember placing the order. But I guess I did, since I've got it now! Can't honestly say I'm upset about it. I was actually just thinking again of this manga the other day. I only learned about it after it was cancelled but I heard that it wraps up decently. I guess I'll find out! Well, eventually. The other two volumes come out in English later this year. I wouldn't normally think of ordering, never mind preordering, more parts of a series I haven't even properly started yet but I've seen enough of this title to know that I want the whole story (or as much of it was published, anyway) and it is only three books long. I can stand to show support for more yuri manga licenses for that low of a commitment.

Between the weather settling down and the new allergy medicine I picked up on my last grocery trip, my sinuses are doing pretty alright now. I maintain that they're more trouble than they're worth but if they must exist as part of my face, at least we've come to an understanding.
