1. Guardian rewatchalong, episode 3 is now up! Please do some engagement with it.

2. My working environment does not bring me joy. My "office" is a piece of what was originally meant to be a conference/lecture room of some stripe, my back is to the door, and my desk seems to be of a design that maximizes wasted space. Monday will have to be about redecoration; I think I can rotate my desk 90° and have the power cable still reach...

3. Perhaps relatedly, I am a bit zzz and bleh. Thankfully, it's Friday?

Oof very much sympathies with zzz and bleh, and hoping you can make your workspace better next week.

I really need to catch up on the watchalong! Hopefully this weekend ...

And ugh, that does not sound like a great office. I hope you can make it more habitable!

You totally should! Shen Wei takes off his glasses again! :D

The last place, I had maybe a square meter and a half for my chair + desk, right next to the door, and a view of a parking lot. Here, I have at least four square meters for chair + hideously space-wasting L-shaped desk one cannot move by oneself, and a view of some nature, but the previous place was much cozier and safer. I guess I really hate having my back to the door.

Happy weekend!

The desk situation sounds >.< Hope you can fix it on Monday!

I did start a New Thing, so part of it is being all peopled out, I guess, but I really wish I could be all energetic in my free time and write some fic! I have a veritable farm of plotbunnies! But no...

Good luck recharging your batteries and getting started on that fic! (I'm so impressed with your plotbunny farm! That's a great thing to have.)

Thanks!

The desk ... I originally thought it was three desks next to each other to form an L (corner piece plus two add-ons), but no, it's all bolted together, so a single penguin cannot confidently handle it. Grr.

No, but they're so inconvenient! Midway through one fic, I get five different new plotbunnies!

Accountability plotbunny listing, Guardian:

"Shen Wei, why are you wearing an iguana costume?" comedy previously brought up
Zhao Yunlan requests the Hallows bring Shen Wei back, but he came back wrong, bittersweet version
Zhao Yunlan requests the Hallows bring Shen Wei back, but he came back wrong, tragicomedy version
Maximum Heartwarming AU where Li Qian can't call the SID and Shen Wei has to go Envoy in her view; absolutely no-one dies
More time-traveling Dixingren (this time intelligentsia from before the meteor!) wake up, reform Dixing – mostly an excuse for conlanging and worldbuilding and Shen Wei getting to retire
During the blindness arc, Shen Wei dumps Zhao Yunlan – cue moping, dating around, and trying to figure out WTF is up

...and were I to actually think a bit, I'd be able to get at least 15 more plotbunnies, and also I have more than one fandom, and. Argh. At least I managed to con someone else into writing amnesiac Ye Zun!

Augh, that sounds... not happy making. >.

will the Guardian rewatchalong be spoilery, or is it something that would be fine to engage with if I'm watching for the first time?

It's spoilery – we talk a lot about foreshadowing, and how X thing from this episode relates to Y thing from a coming episode.

I guessed that would be the case, but figured it was worth an ask. Thanks
