Torn between "basking in the warm glow of accomplishment, as I FUCKING SHOULD, it's nearly 235k words in all," and "ooh but I want to start on Kanon's one-shot and I spent all of yesterday NOT looking at the final chapter or doing anything writing-related!"

With Rindo's Game over, everyone hopes to get back to their normal lives. But it isn't long before Neku, Shiki, Beat, and Rhyme find the UG isn't done with them yet, and Joshua isn't sure what's causing it. It might be an opportunity to close the gaps between the group... or the only thing that can protect Shibuya from peril once again.
Maybe life can't be simple. But maybe it can be what the five of them want, if they're willing to fight for it.

For the final time, Reaching Out, Reaching Down has updated.
Let the revels begin, let the fire be started.
... Okay. I actually think this is ready for review. I may well be updating this afternoon.
For the final time for this fic.
*Flops over*
Draft complete!
I am going to finish this draft tonight.
I am going to finish this draft tonight.
I. Am. Going. To. Finish. This. Draft. Tonight!!!
I am finally at the final scene.
Now I have to actually pull it off.
Tonight's agenda:
Finish writing at least the penultimate scene of Reaching Out, Reaching Down?
Get drawn into a debate about Revolutionary Girl Utena, culminating in rewatching episodes 39 and 38 (in that order) to beat by beat analyze the presence of Dios as an ultimately useless ideal of princelihood and episode 38's various refutations of the idea of a prince, to argue the thesis that Utena does NOT ultimately become a true prince, what she does is inspire Anthy to leave through the power of HERSELF separate from any princely ideal.
Spend two and a half hours on that, instead.
Eh, I don't regret it in the slightest. And I'll be seeing the movie IN THEATERS in two weeks, so. May as well refresh myself on one of the most satisfying finales in television.
yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the doctor down the street who gives me my T shots in a clinic so small that it's just two rooms was excited for me when she said my voice had dropped yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the receptionist who could see that I was a man didn't bat an eyelash when I asked to see the gynecologist and called me sir when he asked how I wanted to pay yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the barber cuts my hair exactly how I want it and never gave me strange looks for being in a men's salon not even back when I didn't pass as one
yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my friends have always gendered me correctly and stick to it even when it confuses other people and my friend's little sibling calls me older brother in Kannada yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my dog learned my new name quicker than the humans and she runs to give me a kiss when she's told to without being confused about who's being referred to
yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I can feel the Adam's apple growing in my throat and my muscles getting stronger, and my smile more real and I'm growing a beard, and I talk more freely
yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I'm here, and I'm alive, and so are you and there are good people, people who care and don't let them make you forget that-- you are not alone.
Today's Girl Genius:
Is deeply, DEEPLY satisfying.
I need to double check the lyrics to Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young for, uh, reasons.
I decided the quickest way to do this was to go to Youtube, where the finale video is still in my recently-viewed section.
Good news: I get to hear a bit of I Can Dream About You.
Bad news: I have to listen to the absolutely EXCRUCIATING lack of chemistry between the leads while I Can Dream About You is in the background.
Ah, well. Say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come.
Girl Genius comic fans, I gotta run something by ya real quick.
In the world of Girl Genius — does the specific profanity “Otherfucker” (+ grammatical variations like “Otherfucking” etc.) exist?
And yes, in Agatha’s specific and highly unfortunate case, “Otherfucker” and “motherfucker” would be essentially interchangeable anyway. But, y’know. For everyone else’s use?
My knee-jerk headcanon response here is: "Not yet."
Where we are in the story now, the Other War is too recent, especially as Lucrezia's influence has reemerged during the past few years of plot.
However.
Ten, fifteen years or so after Lucrezia's been definitively dealt with, and sufficient time-windowing has taken place to be sure she didn't show up in our future already, "otherfuck*" is a common curse word in Europa.
Agatha has a very specific annoyed and involuntary little eye-twitch she does whenever she hears it.
Anyone who knows her well enough to spot that generally jumps in and changes the subject realdamnfast.
of the two, which do you consider to be more likely?
joshua talks in an intentionally aggravating way because he finds it funny
joshua has no idea how he sounds when he talks
a bit of both
Okay, brain's definitely hitting my limit for the night, time to stop writing.
But I'm definitely... very, very close to the end of this fic. Maybe three scenes left at most?
Today's Girl Genius:
... I'm not sure I've ever been so happy to see
OTHAR TRYGGVASSEN!
Gentleman adventurer
in my life.
Happy "Kingdom Hearts 4 is real" day to all who celebrate.
Today's Girl Genius:
I'm not even surprised, and yet: Damn, Klaus.
I am hoping now that whoever came in last strip is an ally of Klaus specifically, whether that's Bohrlaika or Barry or someone else. He could use the hand, and is still not allowed to die before his children can yell at him.
How the heck are my arms achey NOW?!
