Sucreabeille: Iron Snow
Mar. 28th, 2026 01:19 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
brigidI'm making pasta e fagioli soup today.
I came home yesterday with groceries and immediately put the beans to soak so i didn't forget.
I woke up this morning, brushed my teeth, and immediately started dicing carrots and celery etc. Gotta get this shit together. MY CHILD NEEDS SOUP.
Specifically, my autistic child with ARFID and a very limited pool of acceptable foods loves the veggie-filled minestrone soup I make (as long as it doesn't have cheese in it) (or garbanzo beans).
Said child is currently having A Very Nice Lunch with their dad after an unpleasant medical appointment and I'm going to get up in a bit and cook some italian sausage and assemble two half pans of lasagna. It's my batch cooking weekend. My kid's going to college the year after next and that shit isn't cheap and we need to eat out less. How "isn't cheap" is it? Community college now costs the same per semester as the state college I attended in the late 1990s. What the fuck.
My kid has a career plan that involves "working in an office for the state and creating art is a hobby/side hustle" so an associates degree with work study in an administrative office is the plan, followed perhaps by transferring to a state school to finish the degree with office work through a temp agency. My child has a career plan at the age of 17. I'm 47 and don't have a career plan other than "keep doing what I'm doing I guess?????".
Anyway, after washing onion off my hands I applied a dab of Iron Snow to the inside of my wrist. Scent notes are "Simple syrup, cardamom pods, pamplemousse, amber, fresh snow, orris, fennel, and effervescence."
This goes on smelling very thin, almost watery. Not like petrichor, but like... if you have dough then you can't see through it, it's opaque, but if you roll it thin enough you can see light through it. Sometimes smells are the same. They're thin, they're watery, they're transient.
It blooms on the skin, though it remains subtle. The initial smell was almost solely weak mandarin orange, which I guess is the pamplemousse. After a few minutes the smell is deeper. I don't get much cardamom, there's no fennel that I notice, and I'm not sure what orris is meant to smell like. I'm picking up the sweetness of simple syrup and I don't know what "fresh snow" is supposed to smell like but by god this DOES have the edge of winter air right before it snows.
With a name like "iron snow" I was expecting something a little darker or deeper.
I'm not a huge fan of this. It just isn't for me. I can see it being exactly what someone else loves, though.
List of all reviews here.

Mar. 28th, 2026 07:11 pmstefanyeahWho's signed up for an agility competition on Pentecost because of the annual assembly of the dog club?
Since the sign up for the rally obedience tournament earlier this month didn't work out (was put and kept on the waiting list…), I decided to go for the agi tournament our club is organising.
Need to find time and place to practise again, haven't attempted a parkour since last year… But at least A0 won't have the weave. Just dog walk, A-frame and tunnel. Which Gojira can do. (The problem is my imprecise leading, really.)

Mar. 28th, 2026 09:01 amnansliceI live for the applause. XD; I've gotten some very nice comments on the Victor/Leon post and I've just been om nom nomming them up. ;3; I know we're supposed to write for ourselves and all, but I. I love comments. And I managed to reply to all of them, because I want to be that person, I want people to know I appreciate them taking the time to comment. Weh. ;/////; Comments. ;3;
Friday is my Sunday and I don't waaaant to go back to work tomorrow, I want to stay home and watch jacksepticeye play Resident Evil Village and figure out why people ship Ethan/Chris (not a dig, I'm very intrigued by the idea!). It's a short workday, even! I need to be an adult about it instead of such a baby. :(
AND THEN I LEFT THIS OPEN and it is now Saturday, a workday, which is only 1:30p-6:30p, but I don't know how to not think about work before going in. It's frustrating. :\ Gonna do some laundry and try and focus on anything else.

Monthly Magical Girl Media: January - March
Mar. 28th, 2026 03:00 pmsonofgodzillaI've spent the whole day reading Peanuts and watching these skating streams. I remain committed to desperately trying to find this middle ground between Charlie Brown and Higurashi, that's a story I really want and something that makes later conversation in this entry make a lot more sense. Yester-day was incredibly hard at times, but the performances by Mone Chiba, and especially Sakamoto Kaori were like the realisation of a dream. To-day, as I write, I stopped everything to watch the brilliance of Kagiyama Yuma. My heart is going a mile a minute these past two days!

Hyper Projection Engeki: Haikyu!!
Mar. 28th, 2026 10:36 pmmeteordustSo when I got into Haikyu!! last year, I read the manga and watched the anime. But I also discovered there was a stage play! Or rather, a series of eleven stage plays that covered pretty much the entire story.
They were performed in Japan from 2015-2021, and have recordings on DVD and Blu-ray. Sadly I don't have a region-free player anymore (why are they so hard to find now?) so I've been browsing video clips online.
I love seeing how things get adapted into different formats. But you might wonder - how do you portray a volleyball match onstage?
Physically - with the use of projection screens, sound effects, and - when you have a dramatic slo-mo sequence - a volleyball on a stick moved like a puppet.
Metaphorically - with dance battles!
So these are stage plays, not musicals, ie nobody sings. But they dance! And do acrobatics. Some of the volleyball matches are like dance battles, and the different teams have their own dance styles. Which is pretty cool.
It's also pretty cool to see live action versions of these characters. The actors do a great job of capturing their essence.
Anyway, the opening sequence below (from the second stage play) gives a good sense of the vibe:

Results on the lump
Mar. 28th, 2026 08:48 amgaladhirAfter much fretting about whether I'd get to the hospital in time, I arrived at precisely the time of my appointment. Then over the course of about two hours had a mammogram, doctor's exam and ultrasound, and they decided that it was a sebaceous cyst - and was perfectly harmless unless it got infected. As it was already getting smaller, this didn't seem likely.
However, it seems that I was not as un-worried about the whole thing as I thought I was. Even before I got home, the deep, lancing fibro pains had started up, and by the time I got home it was the full works: jabbing pains everywhere, back locked up, feeling sick, dizziness, fatigue etc.
I can only assume that this was my body dealing with suddenly not being stressed any more. As a stress reaction, I do not like it.
DH is off at the Halesworth day of dance. Son has borrowed one of our cars because his new car is in the garage, so I do not have a car available. I had planned to cycle into town, do some weight lifting, toddle around the shops, maybe have lunch in a nice little place as a treat, but while I am fatigued, dizzy and in pain I don't know that that's going to be possible.
Basically everything is terrible. I'm going to the garden to eat worms. But I don't have cancer, so that's something :)
i miss sylvie in my skull
Mar. 28th, 2026 01:15 amasuraidto be fair i've been very tired and drained. usually it's pretty easy to pull them out for conversations (something something living character phenomenon, theyre akin to a munbond to me), but i haven't even had much energy for that ... it's funny, i used to use my ocs for conversations for coping (which now is sylvie), but when i'm most exhausted it's the hardest to pull them out, either for conversations or silly interactions with my friend's ocs, or my zhongli writer's ... err, zhongli LMFAO
it's definitely a weird, kinda empty feeling to not be able to connect to them so easily. i've had it before, but usually those were days i am aware i was either under some kind of depression, or fatigue, like i am now. i surround myself with them (my icon, theme, them in new leaf and new horizons, desktop), but lacking that connection sucks balls a lot
i know it'll eventually ease up and they will return/the connection will revitalize, but until then it sure sucks ass!!!!
until then, have this moo version of them by lavendergalactic

i love you need for speed most wanted
Mar. 28th, 2026 12:11 amasuraidits funny cause this game was my introduction to disturbed as a band .. but it's also funny cause my parents thought i'd be a great driver cause i kick ass at this game (girl who has massive anxiety about driving at ALL). but seriously, pretty bomb soundtrack, i do miss the underground 2 deco system in terms of having lights underneath the actual cars themselves + more customization flexibility, but i still love the open world aspect of it and the blacklist system to progress, plus the cop chases although annoying as shit sometimes (20-30 minute long ones in the later progression), is definitely a good stress inducer in like a FUN way
... except every time i do cop chases, all i remember is the very old youtube videos where they go around a certain roundabout on the map with yakety sax playing on a loop. and if i remember right, this was one of the videos i remember watching about stupid shit that happens to the cop AIs in the game LMFAO. fly piggies fly!!!! 2012 good lord ... one of the videos that shaped my own childhood
i've definitely lost count of how many times ive actually finished this game. so many times i have finished it but lost my save file because i didn't transfer it over from an old hard drive or it got wiped somehow LOL. im also one of those that stuck with my bigger car to the end, but to be fair the chevrolet you start with (as an option) fucking kicks ass when its fully kitted out
... its weird, i dont know if need for speed had any real good games after most wanted. to be fair i also didn't look much deeper beyond underground 1 and 2, and most wanted. to be fair, even looking at ranking lists, underground 2 and most wanted (2005) tend to be the top ones, alongside carbon and some of the hot pursuit games
kinda funny youtube recommended me a very recent (2 days ago) video about need for speed's history, rise, and fall

Shadow of the tomb raider, 3
Mar. 28th, 2026 02:54 amrequiemsSo, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, are you going to acknowledge or address the canonisation of another plane of existence in your universe, which the Yaaxil returned to? No? Alrighty then.
I did the rest of the DLC tombs :') It turns out the first one just really, really sucks in terms of level design - you can tell for several of these that they were designed with co-op in mind, there's a lot of needless back and forth. The last two also had a bit of this, though one of them was more so, damn this puzzle would be ten times easier if I had someone to stand on this platform so I didn't have to force the game to let me stand on a winch which I don't think is the solution but after half an hour and countless failed attempts somehow jumping on a winch twenty times until it let me stay on it for the additional height seemed the best idea.
The rest did have some timed sections - one is an almost level long raft ride - but they played more like classic 90s platformers, so I did the score/time attack trophies on those too. I should do the other three I did not like. But I'll have to look up how to do those puzzles quickly...
For the most part the DLC is weird. Some pad with missions outside of the tomb, some don't. A lot of the things you do are superflous and have no effect on the story or its outcome at all, you leave as you start. One did have a fun nightmare sequence which culminates in a shadow version of Lara telling her to end the pain and Lara being confused, because she's not in pain, and the shadow saying no, don't be so selfish, not your pain, theirs, you ruin the lives of everyone you touch so just end yourself, and I gently pressed my hands together like oh this is another catgirl with Esteem moment absolutely.
Otherwise the only thing left is Deadly Obsession. We'll see if I fold and give it a go: I need to pre-prepare for mogtomes by taking 3-5 alts through the start of HW so they can access Coerthas Western Highlands and Sea of Clouds to be eligible for Ultimog, so once I've done that and I've settled in to the Gold Saucer, maybe I'll take breaks by having Lara plummet to her death from cliff jumps.

Mar. 27th, 2026 10:26 pmthe_siobhanYou get two posts in two days because I am procrastinating.
So the neighourhood where I live used to be a village called Brockton which was swallowed up by Toronto as the city expanded west. (This is where Lord Brock got his name, btw.) The plumber's supply shop at the corner was once the town City Hall and there are old goal cells in the basement.
The main employer at the time was a rope factory. Most of the streets at the time were little short things with lots of bends but there are two very long streets north-south streets near me that had no intersections that were used to twist the ropes. Even now the only cross-streets are the major thoroughfares the city built when they expanded out this way.
The factory owners, along with all the other wealthy people, lived south of the railroad tracks and down towards the lake. Big three-story houses with lots of windows and wide front yards and two staircases - one for servants. In the 50s the city built a highway along the lake and all the rich people moved out, a lot of those big houses were turned into apartments and boarding houses
The houses on my street were specifically built to home the factory workers and they are all row-houses on lots 15-feet wide or smaller. Most didn't have basements. They all had the same "summer kitchen" setup that I had to tear out. The insulation, where it existed, consisted of torn up newspaper.
My house is at the end of a row of three and was built in 1913. There are still sections on streets all over the area that were built at the same time, and also lots that were cleared and used to build more recently.
There are creek beds that were funneled into pipes and ravines that were filled in while they were building. There is a creek running under the next street over, you can hear the rushing water through the access covers every day of the year. Some of the houses we looked at when we were buying are settling into the old ravines, if you drop a marble it rolls the full length of the house and out the door. (Yes I did this once. The realtor tried to explain it away and I have no idea what he came up with because I could not stop laughing.)
There are history walks in the area all the time. I find this stuff fascinating.

Mar. 27th, 2026 04:09 pmkradeelavi've spent the last day slowly figuring out the scope of what i want in this next project with gamedev....
see, it's always been a dream of mine to recreate tellius as a walkable 3D world. i like that world and characters, and think it'd be Neat. it's safe to say after twenty years i doubt i'll get bored with it anytime soon, so the low-level consistent drive is certinally there. but actually taking a stab at this does several additional things:
* forces me to learn blender beyond 'pick a video to do one small thing, flail a bit with copying it, and giving up out of boredom'. 3D modeling is one of the last frontiers creatively that i had been intimidated by, and this would create a consistent positive cycle with lots of mini-goals to tinker with, while not having to come up with ideas from scratch.
* obviously this wouldn't be sell-able in any way given the IP, but giving the game files to tellius old heads to have fun with would be cute. :)
* lowkey honest to god great reference for future tellius doujinshi/drawings.....
anyway -
finding PoR/RD's high res textures was an incredible boon because the bottleneck of most games is the sheer amount of assets needed, even if you're an artist. i like painting textures, but i was not looking forward to having to recreate .... everything.... this also lets me put in placeholders with fairly little effort as well as seamlessly matching the world i'd want to recreate.
i'm actually considering using blockbench again for the initial wave of modeling because i had about a month or two genuinely having fun with it creating basic low poly work and painting my own textures to the point i made a walk cycle for one character and a basic environment with fairly little difficulty (this was right before gunter ate my brain in 2023 or so). perhaps working in that program there briefly could stretch those muscles again before attempting blender...
* in terms of NPC and general graphic complexity, i'd be happy with a majora's mask equivalent. this isn't no 'recreate elden ring/skyrim' scope creep. majora's mask felt dense and lived in, but "basic" enough with polygons and gameplay it won't eat my computer alive lol.
of course, since this kind of thing invites dreaming, the pie in the sky ideas my brain was running wild with last night:
* what if a wyvern delivery service mini game that unlocks fast travel. creating crude weather systems (so a wyvern flight isn't a boring direct line between A and B) where there's a chance of lightning bolts to OHKO a wyvern, or a tornado like gust to likewise OHKO a pegasus (nodding to their weakness of lightning/wind reciprocally.)
* in terms of "filling up" the towns with characters we know, i was wondering if there'd be a cool system where there'd be a % chance makalov could be at any tavern in begnion, volke could have a lower % at any one in the continent in general.
* what if bright eyes gets a whole special combat system where you're encouraged to take damage to regenerate/counterattack. friendly to newcomers but also has a weird skill learning curve. (this is also making me think how cool would it be to incorporate my ashera's tower survival horror game idea.)

Mar. 28th, 2026 03:17 ammichifuguwow a lot of government are so persistent to add “Age Verification” I am sure it's because they wanted to protect children safety not because they wanted to implement digital surveillances or being lobbied by big tech company to sell our data for ads!
updated my pinned + journal policies
Mar. 28th, 2026 04:04 amautumninplutoUpdated my pinned post and journal policies. Mostly just the arrangement of words because I felt like it was a jumbled mess. Hopefully this is better? 🤔
