*pin drops*
Nov. 20th, 2020 12:48 pmOh. Apparently I have not updated since 2019's "Year in Review" meme. Erm, oops?
Consider this a placeholder, I guess. This year's YIR will be much shorter than usual because *gestures at ongoing pandemic* but on the plus side I actually have the Christmas-to-New-Year period off this year, so I can write the thing in late December rather than mid-November as usual!
I actually intended to do an entry back in September about (a) ongoing work shenanigans which resulted in me leaving our group WhatsApp chat in a fit of pique and (b) a review/flail post about The Last Of Us Part 2, but by the time my fortnight of leave rolled around I was exhausted. I started drafting the first one immediately after the event, but then I processed it through a Tweet-thread instead and ran out of steam.
Since then it has been utterly relentless at work, which we fully expected when the schools re-opened, but I literally haven't stopped since I got back.
Anyway, yes - hopefully over Christmas I will do the TLUO2 post (after I've replayed it) as well as some thoughts on Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, and hopefully get some words down on both of my GoT WIP's this side of 2021. Possibly wishful thinking. On that note, I also keep intending to do a Tumblr post about the two GoT crossover fics I've been considering: both Braime, one an AC crossover and the other a TLOU crossover because old!Joel in the sequel reminds me so much of Jaime. Allegedly Netflix are doing a TLOU series after the success of The Witcher and the ideal fan-casting for Joel is Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. PLEASE FANDOM GODS, MAKE IT HAPPEN. We lost out on NCW as Geralt but he would actually perfect for Joel.
Aaaaanyway, yes, you can blame the DW radio silence on the 'rona, like everything else. :P I have been working at home since mid-March, and seven months have passed in what feels like four weeks. I've lost all sense of linear time and if not for my job I don't think I would even know what day of the week it is. You can expect the YIR post to be a slightly puzzled summary of this very strange year...
