I don't know why this is weird

Over the past week, I've twice had people express surprise that I've read the Odyssey. It wasn't about me reading in Ancient Greek (I didn't) or even that I read it when my age was in the single digits (I did), just that I'd read it at all. I don't know if it was general disbelief at someone having read The Odyssey or at me specifically having read the Odyssey, but now I'm curious: Do I give off "hasn't read The Odyssey vibes"? Have you read The Odyssey?

For what it's worth, I have read neither the prequel (The Illiad) nor the prequel's other spinoff (The Aeneid), though I did read its sequel (The Divine Comedy).

Oi.

Eu decidi deletar o EON. Inicialmente eu ia deletar todos os meus textos, e, quem sabe, até esse meu perfil no Dreamwidth, mas optei, apenas, por apagar a maioria, e deixar alguns bem específicos, sobre as minhas fanfics. O AE nasceu como um espaço para que eu pudesse falar das minhas histórias, e o EON, seu predecessor, morrerá desta maneira. 

2026 está sendo difícil pra mim... não de maneira explosiva, fora da caixinha, mas no sentido de que eu tô passando por vários desafios próprios dessa fase da vida, influenciados pela situação socioeconômica de, bem, todo o território brasileiro. Não é nada demais, não vai me matar, mas ainda não me recuperei do burnout que sofri em 2023 e os meus recursos emocionais são limitados, então estou me despedindo da blogosfera. Não vejo porque deixar os meus textos online, e nem me sinto confortável fazendo isso.

Não tenho energia sobrando pra ser uma fã ativa e criativa. Mal tenho energia para ser uma fã, na verdade.

O AE foi bom pra mim, o EON foi bom pra mim, a blogosfera brasileira, as fanfics, os fandoms, a ala fannish do Tumblr e do (falecido) Twitter. Obrigada, aos amigos e colegas que fiz através desses ambientes digitais, por passarem pela minha vida (inclusive aos que não ficaram... bom, paciência). Darei o meu melhor no Enare, e, quem sabe, dentro de uns três ou cinco anos eu volte a escrever fanfics de Grand Chase.

O conto inscrito na lâmina foi engavetado por tempo indeterminado, de novo, e eu sinto que, dessa vez, ele vai direto pro lixo em vez de voltar para a minha mesa de trabalho. É foda. Quase dez anos, né? Dá pra cansar de um projeto.

No entanto, eu tenho várias ideias de oneshots, então nem tudo está perdido!

I've returned from a week away in Amsterdam, which I visited with my mum. The two of us were last there together in the winter of 2005 (although I've been back since, mainly to change trains en route to Matthias's family in Germany), and it was great to revisit the same places in the sunshine — and discover the city, much changed.

I kept a haphazard paper journal throughout the week, and will transcribe it behind the cut.

Canals like the veins of a city )

I've put up two photosets over at [instagram.com profile] ronnidolorosa: a general Amsterdam batch, and a collection of cats.

The less said about the chaotic journey home the better (suffice it to say that I made it onto my Eurostar train in Brussels with twenty minutes to spare), but I returned to a fully stocked fridge (so many strawberries and tomatoes!), a bottle of pink sparkling wine, and an incredibly lush garden.

I'm only peripherally engaged with the men's World Cup, but I accidentally stumbled into a very Balkans corner of Instagram, and discovered the absolute banger that is the Bosnian team anthem (a thirteen-year-old song about the bittersweet experience of being an immigrant, reworked by the surprised and ecstatic fans into an anthem for their team). It's so catchy, and the video is gold!

Title: Ceremony

Fandom: Stargate SG-1

Pairing: Sam/Jack

Rating: T/PG-13

Summary: He could've said they were cousins, siblings, could've said Daniel was her husband, but the words that came out of his mouth had actually been "Sam and I are married, actually," and not, "we're her family."

Notes: 6000 words. Pretend relationship. Set mid season 4. Was labelled boot meet mouth in my docs.

Sometimes it feels like learning Breton/brezhoneg is an exercise in "this might as well happen". Take numbers, for example.

Brezhoneg English
Unan One
Daou / Div Two (masculine form) / Two (feminine)
Tri / Teir Three (m) / Three (f)
Pevar / Peder Four (m) / (f)
Pemp Five
C'Hwec'h [1] Six
Seizh Seven
Eizh Eight
Nav [3] Nine
Dek Ten
Unnek One-ten (eleven)
Daouzek Two-ten (twelve)
Trizek Three-ten (thirteen)
Pevarzek Four-ten (fourteen)
Pemzek Five-ten (fifteen)
C'Hwezek Six-ten (Sixteen)
Seitek Seven-Ten (Seventeen)

So far so good, right? But is 18 "eight-ten"? You bet your ass it isn't! It's "tri-wec'h", ie "three-six". This might as well happen.

[1] The "C'H" trigram is one letter [2]. It's a voiceless velar fricative (IPA: [x]), ie pronounced like the Spanish "j".

[2] Not to be confused, of course with the digram "ch", itself also only one letter.

[3] That "v" is a vowel, by the way. "V" is pronounced "o" but only at the end of words. THIS MIGHT AS WELL HAPPEN.

I recently had to get a new mp3 player, because my old one stopped working. As I was filling it with music, I put all of the musical Hamilton on there and took the opportunity to relisten to the whole thing in order while paying attention rather than "whatever comes up on shuffle while I'm out and about doing stuff". Overall, I don't think my opionion has changed much from a decade ago, ie: I enjoy it overall, Leslie Odom Jr is the best singer of the bunch (unfortunately, Lin-Manuel Miranda is the weakest), I wish the women got to do more than just Be Romantically And/Or Sexually Entangled With Hamilton, Lafayette's French accent sure is Something, Huh and slavery is a bit glossed over, innit? I do really like the artfulness of the lyrics -- the way the words work is really nice, idk.

Anyway, there's a line in Cabinet Battle #2 that goes "If we try to fight in every revolution in the world, we never stop" and HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Is swimming from the Château d'If to land actually doable?" (à la Edmond Dantès, the Count of Monte Christo himself)

The answer is very much yes.

Looks kinda fun, honestly.

A bit of a long shot, admittedly

I saw a trailer for Nolan's Odyssey before watching Project Hail Mary in theaters and at first i was fun trying to guess who each character was supposed to be, but then they showed a dog and I was like "oh so I'm not watching this movie then, ok". Just thinking about Argos is enough to make me tear up ;_;

There's a solo TTRPG: Cage of Sand, "A time loop horror TTRPG for one or more players." I got it in the Racial Justice Bundle back in 2020 and promptly ignored it for several years (like most of the 12,000+ games I've picked up in game bundles).

Recently, I picked up a tarot deck specifically for solo TTRPGs: the Calandra Tarot (it's pretty but not one I'd want to use for divination), and went looking through my archives for a tarot-based solo game that wasn't a hack of Anamnesis. Not that there's anything wrong with Anamnesis - I like it very much; I've tried it; I've made my own hack of it. But I wanted to try something else, and after some sorting of the Big Spreadsheet o Game Bundles, I found this one.

So I decided to try it )

I hate how DNFing a book means I stop reading/wanting to read for some time afterwards. Like. What's up with that?! Just because one book is bad doesn't mean all books (or even comics) are bad. That's not how that works! That's not how any of this works!

AI is not coming for my job

A friend asked me if I worked in an office (yes) and warned me that AI is probably coming from my job.

I told him no, I am very not worried:
1) I have a union, and
2) My company works with a lot of confidential personal info that needs careful handling, and
3) AI cannot do my job.

AI cannot even attempt to do my job.

I do document formatting & processing, and while I'm sure there are AI advocates who think they can have AI do that, it's because they've never done those.

I was out with a friend and we were talking so long I missed the last métro home. So I went back on foot, which took around 90mn and was quite lovely. I only had to check a map thrice, on account of my brilliant strategy of "follow Seine to [Landmark], know how to get home from [Landmark]". Idk why I'm feeling so proud of navigating a city I've lived in my whole life, but I do.
