The fact that it's 80 full degrees out today, a week into November in New York, is doing nothing to ease my election anxieties

The amount of gaslighting that's been happening during the Mage Madness saga has been hilarious.

Emily laughing for a solid minute in the backgroud while Zac was goofing with Murph is making me really happy

something legitimately funny about my "is pursuing a diagnosis worth it" journey is having a neurotypical partner, bc while all my friends are AuDHD and therefore playfully diagnose me when i act a little sillay my fiancé gets to look me in the eye and go "there may be signs". it's also very helpful to take online tests together 'for fun' and have a new frame of reference for my scores outside of neurodivergent circles. we took the RAADS-R test together and he got a 27. i didn't even think that was possible

I saw people discussing this on twitter: it took less than a year from the start of filming season 1 to it airing (December to early October), and Rolin said that the strike pushing things back meant they had to film the second season in hours with less darkness and that was difficult, so I would THINK they would try to film season 3 late this year or early next year (even if flashbacks to human Lestat mean they film in daylight sometimes, most of the season would still be nighttime)...so they certainly COULD release the season in late 2025, and wouldn't autumn 2025 make sense? I could also see early 2026, but it just seems like they wouldn't want to do two years between seasons every time (really early 2026 would be more like 18 months). Rolin says they are thinking of possibly 5 more seasons -- they can't anticipate taking ten years for that?? Wouldn't 12-15 months between seasons make more sense?

I'm also wondering about what Rolin said about figuring out if they want to split TVL into two seasons, depending on what they might pull from other books. I want them to have enough time to tell whatever story they want to tell, and it really does sound like Rolin feels fully supported by AMC -- I'm kind of hoping they do it in one season with 10 episodes, but hey, if they can do it in eight or decide to split it in two, then cool.

Autumn next year would make the most sense! Rolin renewing his multi-year deal with AMC weeks prior to the announcement of the s3 order, and even seeming pretty confident about s3 at the 92NY panel back in April too makes me think a lot of things have probably been in train for longer than it seems. It makes me wonder how far along they are in the writing process (if they've even formally started! Which I kinda suspect they have given Rolin's been openly talking about him and Daniel working on the songs already.)

Newsreader s3 is supposed to be airing in early 2025, so the one thing about starting late 2024 would be you'd probably have a bit of a stop-start given they'd wrap for the holidays and then would, I imagine, need to release Sam for his press commitments, but then Australia usually pays dust to marketing and publicity lol, so it might not be as much of an issue as the reverse was (I'm pretty sure I heard through the grapevine that they were doing re-shoots for Newsreader when Sam had to head to the US for his IWTV press obligations).

I've been wondering about whether or not they'll split TVL as well. It's interesting though because TVL and Queen of the Damned really are a duology within the broader series, so I also kind of wonder if they might do something like adapt the two books over three seasons, which I think would probably make a lot of sense? There's so many new characters across the two books, and while I think they balanced the expanded role of Armand, and the introductions of Madeleine and the Paris Coven really well in s2, we'd also lost almost every character except the leads after s1. Both TVL and QotD introduce a lot of new supporting characters, many who are going to stick around in various capacities like Gabrielle, Marius and David (although I do kind of wonder if they're merging Daniel and David's characters, given the way certain things are shaping up), and being able to spread them out a bit as they've already been doing with s1 and s2 could give them a bit more breathing room.

6/23/24 Potato harvest from our container garden.

14 russet potatoes and 3 red potatoes for 17 total and a ballpoint pen for size reference.

Grown from whole potatoes. There weren’t many red potatoes because the pot size was too small. The russets started from 3 potatoes so I think I will try with just 1 next time (which I will post about). My dad wants to make hash browns because he loves them and has always wanted homegrown hash browns and this is the first year we did potatoes.

Harvesting potatoes is like digging for treasure.

Happy growing🌱🌿🥔💙

Sweet and light-hearted romance (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡

✧ 𝐀 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞:

"The sixth time" comes from this sentence:

他只对我笑过六次,两次好玩,两次怜悯,另外两次,一次生离,一次死别

(Mtl: He only smiled at me six times, twice for fun, twice for pity, and the other two times, once for separation, and once for farewell)

In the book, Zhang Qiling smiled at Wu Xie six times from 2003 to 2015. Here is the list (from MereBear's Translation):

1. Daomu Biji Vol. 1 Seven Star Lu Palace & Angry Sea, Hidden Sands, Chapter 57

When I saw how serious his expression was, I stammered, “He…he said ‘elevator’.” Men You Ping suddenly smiled and said, “Oh, so that’s what it is—”

2. Daomu Biji Vol. 1 Seven Star Lu Palace & Angry Sea, Hidden Sands, Chapter 66

Thinking he (Pangzi) might kill me if he knew that I had smeared my saliva on his wounds, I quickly said, “Don’t be such a girl. Let’s go.”

Men You Ping smiled in amusement before shaking his head.

3. Daomu Biji Vol. 3 Heavenly Palace on the Clouds (Part 2), Chapter 45

Men You Ping must have noticed our movements, because he suddenly turned his head towards us. When he saw our faces, he suddenly gave a profound smile and mouthed, “Goodbye.”

4. Daomu Biji Vol. 4 Snake Marsh Ghost City (Parts 1 & 2), Chapter 47

“The Ultimate?” I was confused and wanted to keep asking him, but he just gave me a faint smile, motioned for me not to speak, and said to me, “In any case, I’m on your side.”

5. Daomu Biji Vol. 6 Ancient Building Under the Dark Mountain, Chapter 49

Men You Ping suddenly smiled at me and said lightly, “It’s a good thing I didn’t cause your death…”

6. Daomu Biji Vol. 11 Ten Years Later, Chapter 41

I pulled down my sleeve, covered the scars on my arm, and stood up.

He smiled at me and I lifted my bag. “Let’s go.”

We just…haven’t seen you for a long time.

Both Ylvisåker brothers got their perfect solo show.

One set out for adventure to use all his knowledge that has been proclaimed as constant mansplaining by all who surround him.

The other…sit, delegate and judge mainly on your personal preference rather than an accountable system.
