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 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 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 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 bitesizedcleaning for tricks/inspiration.
