On The Misgendering Of Axolotls
Oct. 26th, 2024 09:31 amThis morning Kaida was out when I got up and not only is she HUGE compared to when I brought her home, but she is also... not a SHE. Yes, indeed, I was finally able to sex her. Him. Whatever. And it turns out Kaida is a male axolotl not a female so I need to get used to different pronouns lol. That's fine though, I just told him "that's cool, you do you, I just need to know for future possible tank mates." And he just smiled at me like 'lotls do. :)
At least that batch is big enough now that they CAN be sexed so if I DO go at the beginning of November to get another one I know I can make sure it's the right gender. This is all hinging on Mom being willing to drive me back to Elmvale again, which... yeah. We'll see. I'll have to approach the subject very carefully on that one. =/
Anyway, I got a good pic of Kaida's little face this morning but unfortunately there's a lot of tank gunk behind HIM because it was before I cleaned out the aquarium, which is too bad. I'm hoping to get better pics of him once he gets bigger and can't hide quite as easily, you know? Which reminds me, I need to take the hidey-log out of the tank soon before he gets so big he gets STUCK in it. :|
So, Tubi got in a whole bunch more movies and I've been working my way through the new horror ones the last little while. Most of them are shit, but they got in all three Pulse movies as well as Kairo (the Japanese movie that Pulse was based on), so I just finished the Pulse trilogy last night and I'm going to watch Kairo tonight I think, the only problem is it will be in subs so I won't be able to write while I watch it so boo to that.
The last couple of days I've been working on Freefall when I should have been working on Ghost In The Machine, but Freefall popped into my brain and really GRABBED ON in there, like I've written a four-page summary, I'm working on the actual story outline and this morning I did a Pinterest board for it so I'm pretty well committed. I think it's going to be the next original project that I work on after TKA, unless by some miracle I sell TKA and the publisher wants the rest of the series, too. Freefall has angels, it has demons, it ticks all the boxes. I really like it and I hope other people will too. FINGERS CROSSED.
Speaking of Ghost In The Machine, though, I'm currently at 24 pages and 10,781 words, and I WOULD be father but I ended up working on Pinfeathers last night instead (21 pages and 9,361 words) because. I dunno. REASONS. Basically I'm at smut scenes for both of them and I wanted to write the Pinfeathers one more than the Ghost In The Machine one last night so I just... I did. Okay. Don't judge me.
What you CAN judge me for is adding another one-shot into the post-Storm Season one-shots and bringing it up to freaking TEN of them. And that's assuming I stop there. Like I JUST added Hunting Souls and Day Drinking, and then last night I added Nightingale and I (tentatively) reinstated Stalagmites I just. My brain won't stop with this AU, I swear, it's so out of control I'm like. Halp plz. Anyway, this takes the Horror High et al fic count up to SEVENTEEN, and TWO OF THOSE have TEN CHAPTER EACH so like. Stop anytime, brain, this is getting ridiculous (and I kind of love it.)
So, I'm hoping to get some more work done on Ghost In The Machine today, or maybe Pinfeathers idek anymore, and HOPEFULLY have those two finished by Thursday because then it's NaNo time and fanfic is OFF THE TABLE for the following month, BRAIN, DO YOU HEAR ME?? IT'S TKA ALL THE WAY!! WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS, YOU AND I!! AIDAN AND TYLER DESERVE OUR FULL ATTENTION FOR AT LEAST THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, AFTER ALL THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH!!
DETERMINED SENA IS DETERMINED!!
