Some good things
I have faster internet now!
DJ (middle child) is 21, as of yesterday!
I voted early!
I have a good idea of what I'm writing for my Discord exchange!
The storm the other day left minimal damage!
I'm still broke but not as much as I thought I was!
I went to the store today and it didn't completely suck!
Some bad things
The Oscars triggered some bad memories that I'm still trying to deal with. I started to write a post about it, but then I stopped because I hated it and it made me cry more.
I don't really like the Wangxian relationship in The Untamed that much, which makes it super hard to enjoy the majority of fics I've started to read and then gave up on. I liked it enough to root for them and aww over them while watching, but I feel like they should have played up the tension a little more? Overall I just find it less than interesting. Unfortunately, the ships I do like seem to be all written by teens and extreme kinksters and I don't like that, either. I don't want to be like this, I swear. I realize this is a vastly unpopular opinion. :(
DJ's still not talking to me.
I haven't written any of my book this month.
I'm having to ration my pain meds again.
I'm having trouble focusing on reading, still, which makes me sad. I've bought books but they are sitting in my kindle taunting me.

I still haven't sat down to finish watching The Untamed, but I'm wondering how much of that lowered tension is Wangxian appears as a viable pairing so much earlier (to my estimation) than it did in the novel. Or I guess I should say it was easy to not really notice it for a lot longer in the novel because we're riding shotgun with WWX who doesn't figure it out until practically the end of the book, whereas with the live action we're seeing things from a different perspective (and some tweaks in events that clue us in way earlier), plus if you've read the book you'd already know it was canon, so. IDK, rambling.

And yeah, the Wangxian in the live-action seemed like a foregone conclusion. While I did enjoy it, I feel no need to interact with the pairing in fic (except maybe as a secondary pairing?), and meta isn't my thing. I like pairings where I can fill in the blanks (or plot holes?) and stuff, and to me, it doesn't feel like enough left for me. I sometimes love a pairing so much that I want to see them fall in love in a gazillion different scenarios. This pairing isn't it, at least not for me.
