I'd really like to see a trend toward more original IPs instead of adaptations of books, overseas films/animations, and remakes of classic stuff... but I have heard good things about the Blade Runner sequel. I'll still probably wait until it's out of theaters to see it though, because I'm a butt who doesn't like spending money when I don't have to.
Also, hi! Kinda not been around these parts for a while. Still alive though!
Just finished surviving my 31st trip around the Sun, and this year's been the best one in a while. Work's been good; after the uncertainty and inconsistency I'd been dealing with, a bit back I landed an indefinite contract with 100% flexible hours and scheduling, plus no conflicts with other contracts, which makes the whole hunting for contracts part of freelancing extremely stable. My debt has basically all been settled, and I'm finally able to save up for my name-change type paperwork and such, and a long-awaited move to Canada! Been able to put some sex-health-related worries I've had since I was a kiddo to rest as well, which was a huge relief. With help, I've been working through a lot of my mental-health-type issues too, and somewhere in the process learned to manage my anxiety, and be genuine and direct with folks about stuff instead of withdrawing, lying to smooth shit over, or being a passive aggressive turd. This might not sound like much, but it's a pretty huge change in my life. My interpersonal relationships have gotten a lot more healthy, genuine, and emotionally fulfilling in the process too. In the last few months I've had a bunch of unaffiliated friends tell me I was a positive influence in their life, or that I inspired or gave them the courage to do a thing they'd always wanted to do, or helped them grow or heal in important ways, and... shit, it was just really fuckin' validating and heartwarming. I feel like I'm finally becoming the sort of person I've wanted to be, and I'mma keep on trekking in that direction in the year to come.
Got off my bottom and finally started dating again too. Met a brilliant and compassionate artist/animator/game developer/general nerd some time back. They've become one of my dearest friends, and one of the most fulfilling and mutually transformative relationships of my life. We share enough important cultural touchstones in our lives that we can bond, with enough differences that we constantly bring new things to each other's lives too. They've helped me heal emotionally after a bad patch, helped me find self-esteem and comfort in being trans in ways I was still anxious about, inspire me to work hard to make the things I want out of life into a reality, support and appreciate being supported by me, have indirectly encouraged me to grow in so many big and small ways, and... gosh, I just feel incredibly blessed to know and be with 'em. And knowing that I can do the same for them is just so dang good and important to me too! Kinda geeked/nervous that this weekend, I finally get a good chance to ask another very sweet and adorable poly friend of mine if he wants to go pick apples and have a cuddles-and-anime or cuddles-and-video-games date night some time too. I think he's been hinting that he would, and man oh man I hope so! Finally understanding my whole quasiplatonic/demi orientation, and being comfy in my polyamory (and being with someone who is too) has brought a lot of good into my life. One step closer to my nefarious plan, of having a little horde of some of my favorite people to be close to and make nice food for and all that good biz. X3
Er... so yeah. I've got a lot of things to be happy for, I guess! And I wanted to share some of those good feels with y'all. Hopefully that works as a way of checking in too, for any folks who wondered what I was up to this last bit! Hoping to get caught up on some of what y'all have been up to too, so you'll probs see me around.
