Um. Okay. First, thank you to everyone who commented on my last entry. I, um, am having some problems responding individually (no spoons?), but I thank you all for it. *dips head*
Second, the situation at home is developing ... precariously, and somehow I've ended up the sane one (or at least the ruthlessly pragmatic one), so apparently I'm on damage control. Also, lying to people because other people need me to. I am ... not happy, really. But. We will work with this.
Third ... Okay. This is a fandom thing, intersecting with the me-stuff. Apparently, in times of stress, what I most want to do fannishly is write out a couple of really argumentative meta posts wherein I rant at people (I've got two so far, one Once Upon A Time on Regina vs Rumple and why that is possibly a stupid question to start with, and one on the MCU and why Nick Fury is not actually a villain, thanks). Because I sort of want to rant at somebody, on some slightly safer or at least less personal topic that does, in fact, genuinely annoy me.
And then I can't post them, because a) it's not fair to randomly rant at people, b) I haven't the spoons right now to actually back the rants up in discussion, and c) cathartic as they may be, they feel like picking fights and that's never wise. Even if I do, in fact, actually think that Regina vs Rumple on moral grounds is a stupid distinction, and that Nick Fury is emphatically not a villain and I'm more than a little annoyed at fics that make him out to be. *grumps faintly*
So. Is catharsis worth the rant when you haven't the strength to back it up right now? *shakes head* Oi.
Anyway. On previous topic. Thank you to all. Heh. *nods gratefully*
