Apparently I was right to have zero trust last downtime and set up a personal fanfic site, lolcrysob.
I should probably spruce up the landing page a bit, and then take advantage of this downtime to get some writing in, and do non-writing stuff for the big bang I’m participating in.
A Heated Rivalry S1 playlist.

So many things to catch up on but at least it’s nice and chilly today! Actually it’s a little too chilly. Can we get the weather dial up two centigrade? Thanks.

Seeing that Pinboard is down which is unfortunate but not unexpected. I don’t want to migrate to AO3 bookmarks because the lack of mass-editing along with the rate-limiting makes it an unserious tool. Considering I am on migration four (Yahoo Notes, LJ memories, Delicious, Pinboard), I’m thinking of just spinning up a local db once I can get my data out.
(I was unaware the guy went off the deep end. That was tbh also not unexpected but if I were aware I would have migrated earlier!)
I’m going to a concert tomorrow that already has some logistical red flags, so wish me the best D:

I spent most of this month blasting last year’s kurayamisaka album, so this is whatever I was listening to otherwise.

Title: Luca Haas, Tumblrina
Fandom: Game Changers/Heated Rivalry
Pairing: Luca Haas/OMC
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 3,000
Summary:
Luca Haas is a hockey player who admires Ilya Rozanov. @rollzy is a Tumblr user and Hollanov shipper who allegedly goes to the University of Ottawa. No one will ever connect the dots.
or: Luca Haas’ rookie year, as told through Tumblr.
Notes:
So hey, did you know AO3 doesn’t support SVGs nor the CSS property row-gap? column-gap, however, is fine. Bonus: CSS media queries get removed from your work skin silently!
As I no longer trust AO3’s databases, I’ve finally set up a personal fannish website: rikkai.club.
It’s still a WIP as I move fics over. I also mirrored several fics on here, but my social media fic aren’t easily ported to Dreamwidth.

Title: The Student Project, Ch 2
Fandom: Game Changers/Heated Rivalry
Pairing: Shane/Ilya
Rating: PG13, eventually probably R
Word Count: 3,400
Summary:
Shane Hollander is a first-year student at the University of British Columbia. He just wants to study, make robots, and maybe not be caught sleeping in the lab overnight again.
Unfortunately for him, Ilya Rozanov is his classmate, and Ilya is looking for a team. Because Ilya has one goal: to pull off the greatest prank in UBC history.
Notes:
Since AO3 is down, I’m mirroring this fic over here.

As a figure skating fan, those sure were an Olympics. At least Niina Petrõkina did away with a few more men.
Now for the (seasonal depression) music.

We are fully in the swing of winter now (I say, while leaving my parka unzipped outside). We are also nearing the Olympics, so I will take this opportunity to make a PSA and say: under no circumstances should you support the French ice dance team and here is why.
On to the music.

I went on a small stationery spree while I was in Taiwan this winter. However it took me a few weeks to get pens and inks out of boxes and filled, so photos in bad indoor lighting it is!

It’s the NYE concert season, aka time to keep Kouhaku on TV while completely ruining my Youtube recs in the name of catching all dozen or so Taiwanese NYE concerts. At one point I had 6 different streams open at once.
CW: Most of these videos have flashing lights.
Edit (2026/01/02): I’ve updated the links as some official livestreams have come down.

I’ve been battling migraines on and off for the past several weeks, so this is an iosyscore-free zone as much as Maltine Records is trying otherwise.
