être dans la lune

I've been watching the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender show and liveblogging my reaction. I'm about halfway through, but that post is coming soon probably. In the meantime, it's got me listening to this beautiful orchestral cover of Leaves From The Vine. And occasionally tearing up. And crying. Oh, I love Uncle Iroh so much. There's also this amazing AMV (do we still call them that? fan edit?) called Uncle Iroh - Father, but it's chock full of spoilers. But what's cool is the actor portraying Uncle Iroh even commented on the video saying how much he loved it. How cute is that? Anyway, it also made me cry (the video, not the comment!) so of course I recommend watching it.

Cool things happening at promptmepromptly where writers can sign up to offer what they'll accept requests on. Once all prompt-requests are in, it'll be time for request-prompting! Sign-ups close 9th March.

Baldur's Gate Gift Exchange sign-ups closing on 10th March. I was delighted to see this one because it reminded me of how much fun I had playing the first two acts of BG3 (at a frankly absurdly slow and thorough pace - 100 hours!? how...) last year.

bethefirst is open! I'm going to give it a try this year for Sweden Roll's Coriolis seasons. (You can listen to the first podcast episode here if you're curious!) Although, it is nerve-wracking to be writing fic for someone else's ttrpg character... But then I look at the critical role fandom and I'm like, nah, not so nervous anymore. It's not like any of the cast will ever see my silly little fic (crosses fingers desperately).

The kickstarter for Cats of Catthulhu 10th Anniversary Edition launched. It looks really cute. I have PDFs of the original; I wonder if I can pull a game together before the deadline in a bit under a month in case I want to support this. Super doubtful, but I might try if the body cooperates in March. I'm finding it hard to predict what I will and won't have time for with my weird energy levels lately. (Nevermind that it was one of my resolutions to not buy any more RPGs...! It's got eldritch cats!)

I ran a oneshot for There's Something Under The Ice which was awesome! I watched The Thing and read (half of) At The Mountains of Madness in preparation, but ended up mostly inspired by the Carrion video game (at least for the monster). It's a simple but fun system, and I found the DM section really helpful in developing the monster and outpost. I added a homebrew rule lifted wholesale from the Alien RPG of giving each player a different secret related to their chosen role on the facility (engineer, scientist, etc). Players loved having their own secret agenda that they could reveal as and when they'd like to, and investigate for themselves. I'm running the same oneshot again twice this weekend (my scheduling failed me orz) so fingers crossed it goes smoothly again! And fits in one session this time! O_O

This might be incredibly niche, but for those who like ASMR and also mouth sounds and whispering, I really recommend this ASMR video. I've been obsessed. But I can't really listen to it and do other things at the same time because I get too sleepy lol.

I thought I wasn't going to have enough to post here, but actually this is a respectable list. Heck yeah.
