you won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules

Been to see it now! If you wish to see it and have not yet, mind the ending—it is ambiguous but one character is convinced with reason that "tw suicide" is a potentially applicable phrase regarding another character.

( spoilers! )

Kujaku Mai wallpaper now. am pleased.

I'm cry.

SUNLIGHT WHEN THE SUN'S DOWN IS NOT A PHYSICAL POSSIBILITY

(unless the source is something other than the sun, but then it's hardly sunlight, now is it?)

wait what is the deal with this time reversal shit

Wait. How has Yu-Gi-Oh! canon as of episode 202 been four years long? Even if we start the count at Yuugi solving the Puzzle, that makes no sense. Taken that long to air, certainly, but internal chronology? No. They're high schoolers at the start, they're high schoolers at the finish, and senior high in Japan is three years.

...it has been eleven months since I made serious progress on Daughter of the Sun: With Flame and Fury. WOE IS ME but at least progress is now made! I am 56 words short of 8K. This morning I was just past 6.4K.

You know, I remember when I thought this whole thing would be 10K...

OKAY TIMELINE CHECK. Poking at the Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki, manga chapter 005 corresponds to anime episode 13. Since I just finished anime episode 02 (which corresponds to manga chapter 004)...so if I'm going with anime timeline (which I think I mostly am), I want to skip to chapter 006? That incident doesn't seem to have an anime counterpart. And then chapter 007 matches with episode 10? iirc? (wiki article: stub.) Then chapter 008 seems to be manga only, and then chapter 009 is the first of a couple chapters that correspond to episode 03. So I think I want to do 006 next, then 008, then 009 / 03.

From naraht (and I'm not tagging anyone either):

Rules: go to page 7 of your WIP, skip to the 7th line, share 7 sentences, and tag 7 more writers to continue the challenge.

But first I have to paginate the thing, because Scrivener doesn't so much do with pages...

Yuuki finally managed to move her head, only to see Jounouchi and Honda on the ground and Ushio walking away—but in her hand lay the last piece of the puzzle, and the puzzle itself was in her backpack, only a few tens of centimeters out of arm's reach.

She had to solve the puzzle. Only a few more centimeters. Her wish would come true when she solved the puzzle. Only a little farther—

The puzzle piece snicked into place.

A golden glow, and the world fell away.

*rereads what is written thus far of Daughter of the Sun before work*

*reconsumes the next couple bits of canon to rewrite on lunch break*

*has plot revelation at half past lunch break*

*gets home*

*does not write a single damn word before going to bed*

:(

Snow day. Perfect day to blast through the rest of Yu-Gi-Oh! Classic canon, or at least most of the rest. I have twenty-five twenty- to twenty-five-minute episodes left, which should be eight-and-change to most-of-eleven hours; it is one-thirty, so I could easily get through most if not all of that by the time I have to go to bed in order to be up for the work thing tomorrow morning. (I was gonna work a shifted schedule today, two to ten instead of four to midnight, so I could be up for the work thing tomorrow morning. But I got woke up at fiveish by the automated call to the tune of no work today.)

...why am I not watching show?

Okay, metaphysical question about the Capsule Monsters arc. These people in the dragon village are just NPCs, right? Because it's a game somebody designed? So how come the victory rides on the actions of the volunteer-as-tribute girl and her buddies?

And epic silly question:

That is a really sensitive area that armor leaves unprotected...
