Realized I accidentally did therapy this week wearing my Shiro shirt 🤦🏻♀️ bless my therapist who knows me well but I didn't realize until after as it's my "I want to be comfortable and feel joy" shirt
Yeah I had to write this in two goes because after The Sad Part, I needed a break. I thought about posting it as a stand alone chapter yesterday but that didn't feel right, and then I thought about joking when I posted the link "I swear I don't hurt Shiro on purpose."
Am self conscious if y'all will think my voice and accent are what you expected or really weird. I've a very particular way of talking which my friends always tell me they love and I once had someone ask me "do all Americans want to have your accent?" I said yes and another American side eyed me lol
I'd also thought my OBS setup was fubarred so made a whole new setup… only for the previous one to suddenly start working lol! But I've had fun in tinkering in OBS on days I'm too exhausted to use my writing time for writing, and it's a story telling adventure in its own way.
I really wish I hadn't given up on getting my Vtubing software set up on my new computer or maybe this week I would have challenged myself to actually do a stream like I've wanted to for so long, just something chill where we hang out. One day I'll get there but life has had other plans for me.

The photos in this are so beautiful and remind me why I love space so much, it's mind blowing to see these but also so grounding to see the universe and get perspective and think about the effort that got us these photos and how much more there is to find.
I'm in it until I feel like I've written everything I want to of it and that will be a while out lol. Readers like you help encourage me because you enjoy it too.
I'm taking a couple hours instead (thank you allergies + illness) every day to write, but it makes me happy and Idk if I do nothing else that day, at least I did that? Like I told myself I'd watch a fun movie every night and haven't been able to do that because I just fall asleep.
To be clear, I will not be able to keep up the pace of posting a new fic every day at a random time that makes it convenient for literally no one to read, but I am enjoying that this week I am prioritizing writing things that make me happy even if my "it'll just take 30 minutes" idea was wrong lol.

This one is a canon event for Hoshi so it feels so good to finally be able to write it.

The way I'd been feeling about work of late, thinking about just hard launching the start of the Japan arc for #sheith family for my own mental wellbeing (spoiler alert it involves Shiro being pissed off about work).
My love of space is why as a child I found the original Voltron so fascinating, I was raised watching Star Trek TOS so I can talk at length about how groundbreaking it was, I just love space and sci fi and reading about astronauts and all of it so much.
Happy launch day to all my fellow space nerds, I missed the launch because of therapy but I'm watching it now on the NASA YouTube channel and have been so excited about it all day
My friends have started buying me good luck charms from different countries so that tells you how I've been doing lol but I've also reached the point where I look around the world and think sure why not I'll carry these amulets see what happens.
I can't remember if I've said this already or not because my life has been Chaos but happy birthday to all my fellow Aries! May our stubbornness and fire get us through ♈️🤍🤍🤍🔥
It does feel like the sort of thing where all these Galrans Shiro talks to will congratulate him and he doesn't know what on which makes him anxious and the Galrans are also confused but decide this is Good and Keith is just vibing without a care in the world and the kits are like "this is love."
You know he is NSA style figuring out who the other Shiro stan accounts are and making sure they stay in line, he has Reports, he has A Certain Set of Skills, and they are being Deployed, which is why there's just one that's thirsty af and Shiro can't figure out why no one can shut them down.
Update btw still sick and now people at work are like "if this is what you can do when you're sick, I'm slacking" yes I'm sick every day of my life and still out produce more people someone let me relax 😭
Shiro having an official Bsky-style social media account for his admiralty that his secretaries run and Shiro trying to figure out who runs the obsessive Shiro stan account that sends the most thirsty responses to everything because he refuses to entertain the idea that it's Keith.
It's Keith.
And I haven't fixed whatever is stopping my setup from playing VLD on my TV 😭 I just want to sleep to Shiro
When you're sick sick on top of chronically ill sick uggggggh I just want a little break I just want a little relief
I will add, because I do download "children of stars" stories to my eReader, the fact that I post things out of order means the metadata for which entry it is quickly becomes out of date lol but there's something nice about having a favorite fic when you go out and about for a fun day in nature.
AO3 be having a day huh? Reminder that, when it's up, there are download options on a fic's page to download the story in different formats. You should always feel free to download my stories to take with you on like your Kindle and such so you can enjoy it at your leisure.
It also stands out because it'll happen even when my social media is listed in the story, not just my profile, and I've also never gotten comments like this until this year, but I don't know how to describe it to look up if this is A Thing.
Seeing a sudden rise in AO3 comments that follow this weird format of they're mostly normal, but then the follow up is always a request to talk on a different social media platform to share further ideas, and sometimes the replies are too quick, so… AI? I do not understand the aim.
I'm about to say maybe my weirdest reference yet, as someone who makes a lot of weird references, but I always picture Etsu like she was drawn by Hashiguchi Goyō. His 1920 "Woman in Summer Kimono" is so beautiful and that's the vibe I always picture for Etsuko. www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...
