The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.
This is totally an excuse for me to make a new stickyHello, my name is Stars or Glittering or Lune!
My goals for this challenge are to use it as a way to make more friends on Dreamwidth, write more structured posts (I do a lot of silly rambling on whatever has taken my fancy), and hopefully use it as an excuse to share more of my hobbies (writing, sewing, crocheting, ttrpgs).
Current obsessions include
Dragon Age. My enjoyment of
Baldur's Gate 3 (and friendly peer pressure--thanks, L!!) caused me to pick up
Dragon Age: Inquisition for cheap from a local game store. About one hundred hours in, I decided it would be cool to play the earlier games, so I dusted off my digital copy of
Dragon Age: Origins I got from a steam sale forever ago, but never got around to playing. Now, over a month later, I've sunk another hundred hours into both
Origins, Awakening, and the rest of the DLCs, and bought both
DA2 and
Veilguard. I'm deep into Act 2 of the second game, and I'm having a blast despite it being the black sheep of the family. I made an
initial first impressions post, and it definitely deserves a follow-up now that I've gotten pretty far. The TLDR; I
really love the characters and role playing my Hawke has been really funny.
I'm currently working on a play through of
A Thousand Year Old Vampire, which has been a blast. It's backstory for one of my background antagonists for a story I've been toying with for a while. She's horrible, and I love her.
Current crochet projects include a kitsune I've been working on for
ages for a friend of mine. The pattern is from
this book. I've also finished a dinosaur for a family member using leftover yarn and scraps from my sewing project. It was incredibly serendipitous I had the exact colors she liked, and she absolutely loved it.
Writing-wise, I'm working on a...lot of things. My muse likes to be an asshole sometimes. IIRC, Ray Bradbury had a cute little essay waxing poetic on how muses are a fickle and skittish thing. Ten years after reading that, I'm still confident in my response that that idea is bullshit. Mine
is fickle, but aggressive as hell. Think overcaffinated fairy with one of those squeaky toy hammers.
