22degreehalo: Castiel from Supernatural dressed up like a bee (animals)
A couple of things!

* I watched The Favourite and really enjoyed it! It's definitely a strange movie, and unless you're looking at it as a dark comedy I doubt you'll enjoy it, lol. But if you really wanted to see highly flawed, often outright awful women engage in all manner of incredibly impure and unwholesome dominance plays and age-difference seductions, this is your movie. (Because really, there is always a lack of genuinely screwed up femslash out there.)

* I enjoyed this article - In 2018, TV increasingly asked how to be good. It's a trend I noticed too (the article doesn't even bring up Bojack Horseman as well) and it's one that has been resonating a lot with me. So much so that it's kind of a major theme of my Mega Fic that still is not finished, sigh... Also since way too few people are watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend I can confirm the section on it is remarkably unspoilery so feel free to read!

* I created a few icons for [community profile] iconthat over here! I've never really seriously made icons - just played around with paint.net a bit back when LJ was still big - so I really don't know what I'm doing lol but I'd like to make more!

* Please check out [community profile] jeevesandwooster, a brand new comm! I'm not hugely in that fandom - I read one of the books last year and I've read some delightful fic but that's all, I haven't even seen any of the tv series - but Wodehouse fanworks are always great so I hope it does well! :)

* Last but not least, [profile] snowflakechallenge is starting tomorrow, and this year I very much intend to see it entirely through!!

And that's me for the year I guess! It's a quiet New Year's even by our usual standards - it's not even 11pm yet and I'm already ready for bed n.n;; But oh well. I'm just staying up for the fireworks! :P

So right now my head is all kind of Confused and I keep feeling like I should Do Something but I don't know what that thing is and everything either feels like Too Much or Not Enough... but one thing I can do is rec this really interesting and accurate IMO post by adventures-in-asexuality on burnout.

Key part:
This kind of surviving, though, leads almost inevitably to burnout. Constantly pushing through more and more obstacles with no time to rest or recover from the previous ones isn’t sustainable or healthy, but it’s also what we need to do to stay alive, let alone make any sort of progress on top of that. Some people have approached the topic of burnout as related to inter- or intracommunity hostility, and while that’s absolutely an important topic to discuss and try to remedy, I think we also have to consider the inevitable burnout of living in a world that is not made for us. Any quests that try to eradicate burnout without addressing that are bound to be incomplete at best.


I don't have anything in me to add anything right now (which is, ah, probably appropriate?) but it's good and resonates a lot so I'd recommend reading!!
