Terms and conditions of endeerment

*Annie Lennox' voice* "Booping is easy, it's talking that scares me to death, oh yeah..."

Asking questions - already kinda scary. Being asked questions - immediately forgetting all the words not just in English, but in my actual language too.

People crave real interaction. Asks. Questions. Discussions. Meanwhile, I'd rather be hit with imaginary oversized cartoony cat's paws instead.

Happy New Year!

Sorry for being a bit late with that (at least not as late as the last year), I'm mostly sleeping these days.

Alive, but mostly elsewhere. Nonetheless, I'm not abandoning dreamwidth, and have, in fact, some plans. Whether or not I'll manage to get to doing the things I want to do... well,  that's another question. We'll see.

("But Hamilton is criiiinge! what are you dooooing?" - having fun, that's what I'm doing. Shut up.)

( some Goncharov nonsense under the cut )

Cut not because it's long (it's really not), but because it's Goncharov, and I understand people who are already being sick of it.

I'm aggressively ignoring the latest reoccurance of the "Mandatory Unnecessary Het Romance For Everyone!!!! (but let's make sure the actual canon main het couple can't share the screen ever!)" nonsense on The Running Show, but, tbh, I was worried something like that is going to happen, so - not surprised. Just... tired.

I don't wan't to talk about all the ongoing everything. It's not like I can do anything anyway. I'm trying to concentrate on writing my melodrama. I know nobody needs it. I need it. It keeps me from falling apart.

Still around.

Also I found two audioplays from my childhood/early teenagehood that I already tried to find before, but wasn't able to.

ETA: three audioplays. Also found a not-very-awesome operetta - I remember loving the duet between the main romantic couple, and well, I still love it, but that's the only thing I remember fondly. Okay, some other songs are also nice. But the premise is... siiiiigh... The premise is that one cheated-on fairytale king decided to magically eradicate love in his kingdom... meaning heterosexual variety of love, of course, aka the only kind of love one was allowed to write operettas about (and the characters are not just all-straight but also all-white, obviously. Except for a wizard who is a horrible Eastern stereotype. Told you: not awesome). But, oh no! now the (all-white) people affected by the magic anti-love potion don't want to marry and, therefore, procreate! Will I be able to listen to this whole "het is forbidden forever, how awful" mess to the end or get bored before the end? We'll see.

Housekeeping notes:

"Witt Sirner's extramarital daughter Solange" isn't a character anymore. Sirner is now two different dead actors, but neither of them had a daughter. One almost had an adopted daughter, and she's the closest person to Solange from the initial drafts, but her name (and her mother's backstory) is different. There still is a character named Solange though, but she has pretty much nothing in common with draft!Solange.

Felim and Cezar (name still temporary, and it's not even either of his given names... though maybe that's exactly why I'll keep it) don't have stepbrothers anymore, that's a different storyline now, with (mostly) different characters.
