As I write this, it is ridiculous o'clock and I am getting ready to leave for the airport.

I finished Blood River! The ending is great! Honestly the most satisfying ending possible. It achieves what I thought impossible, giving something to satisfy the m/m fans and m/f fans (and possibly also the m/m/f fans), and gives an end to the politics that's somehow both grim and optimistic.

I also watched 4 episodes of I Am Nobody season 2 while I had the Youku subscription, and I just don't think I'm going to watch the rest. The pacing is off, and there are way too many male characters and not enough women. I could genuinely feel my interest dropping with each episode as the gender balance got worse.

I also watched 8 episodes of When Destiny Brings the Demon and to the end of the 26th episode of Whispers of Fate, though I could not tell you what happened in them right now, I am so tired.

I am 34 episodes in to Blood River! I think the writing gets a big wobbly starting in episode 30, but I'm still having a good time, and I'll be able to finish it this week, and it did pick up a bit in episode 34. I hear good things about the ending. I'm enjoying my silly sad-eyed assassins story.

I also had to pause during episode 23 of Whispers of Fate last night to go to sleep, because I was so tired. I have my quibbles with this show, but once it started feeling like particularly magical xianxia instead of a lukewarm rehash of Mysterious Lotus Casebook it really picked up for me. The action scenes are so good! Tang Lici dancing to save that array, and that one music/string puppets scene live in my head rent-free. A Shei and Tang Lici still have negative chemistry, which does drag things down, but overall I'm enjoying it.

Also, today is my birthday! (For another two hours.) I went out to lunch with friends and exhausted myself at a market, and I'm looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow.

Hello, friend! I didn't get a letter up before yuletide stuff closed but here it is now! If you started writing off the actual signups that is totally fine, though, that should have all the info you need.
