Oooh! Yay for monochrome update!! I’m very excited, hope that monochrome updates are a regular part of Monday check ins. Also, I’m posting this at half-time. Seems like it will be a close one. I’m definitely rooting for Clemson. Mainly because of the Orange paw print propaganda I’ve consumed via the foxhole court, but also because I’ve been on the campus before and I haven’t forgiven Alabama for new years eve yet (I’m a Spartan). My Monday is going well. I gave myself a face mask, ate chocolates, and called home. And turned on the heat because it is SO COLD. As an update, last week’s Monday check in gave me the motivation to buckle down on studying Korean, so I’ve been doing quite a bit of that. Wish I had the characters on my device to show you. I’ll save that for next week. Go Tigers!
@millportdingo I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT. This game has my blood pressure through the roof. There are a couple teams out there whose very uniforms are enough to raise my hackles. Alabama is one of those ((also includes UGA, USC Gamecocks, Minnesota Wild, Detroit Red Wings, etc etc…)) so having to watch an entire game against them is killing me.
Ohhh a Spartan?! Really? That’s the OSU rival, yeah? I work with a diehard OSU fan, and one of our everyday regulars has OSU jerseys for all his kids. They’re pretty uhh vocal about MSU. ((If I remember correctly!))
Dark chocolate or light or white?
Heyyyy!! Congrats on getting back into Korean!!! Can’t wait to see the update next week :D
@korakos Monday check in
Literally everything you had to update us with made me happy!! I may just be in a really good mood but who cares? I have spent my week desperately attempting to fix my sleeping schedule and I believe today is the day! (hence my good mood)
I have found an EXTREMELY promising anime-the first one to give me this feeling since Steins;Gate. I’ve been searching for an anime with this kind of serious and supernatural feel for a long time and I happened upon it yesterday. If you’re interested in checking it out (please please), it’s called “Boku dake ga inai machi”, or “Erased”. It’s AMAZING and only 1 episode currently exists, so you’ll have to keep up with it (or come back for it in a few months).
Also, it snowed the day before yesterday!! First snow of 2016 and first snow of the 2015-2016 winter. I live in Kentucky so it was really a light sprinkling but with temperatures hovering at approx. 10 degrees, the snow isn’t going away and when my cat gets fresh and thinks he wants to sneak outside, I just gently set him in the snow on the porch and he runs back inside. It’s a very effective method.
Anyway! Happy Monday and I hope you have another good week!

@andrewminyardd Happy Monday! Hope you managed to fix your sleeping schedule! Once you screw it up it’s definitely hard to get it back on track.
Oh, haven’t heard of that one! But I’m not good at keeping up with things, it’s easier to just binge watch things after the fact. I’ll try to remember to come back for it once they’ve had time to put more episodes out. :D
10 degrees? 10 degrees? Like, as in……. 10
How are you still alive I don’t understand
Last year we got a lot of ice around here, and we don’t have the infrastructure for it– they didn’t even really salt the roads until after it’d all fallen and stopped the city. So I’m hoping we get no snow or anything whatsoever here this year.
lol I’m imagining that cat’s sense of indignant betrayal when you plop him down in cold stuff.
READY
(((NOT READY)))
“why do all moms do this”
wheres the tw:(
monday check-in
Monday again? Feels like we were just here. Time flies when you’re having.. fun? hahahasdfasdfkj My update is going to be very boring today, so probably best to just skip it and @ me or reblog with your news.
1. Clemson vs Alabama tonight. please please please. I’m going to be wearing my neon orange hoodie in a sign of support. One day I should take a picture of it for you, because it is the same shade of ow-my-eyes bright orange I imagine the Foxes’ sweatshirts to be. I don’t think a camera can perfectly capture it, though.
2. Was talking briefly to @selurdour about deleting characters, which had me thinking about Marissa. Ya’ll know Marissa as Katelyn’s roommate and a cheerleader – I knew Marissa as the 11th Fox. ((surprise)) She was recruited over Christmas break and joined the Fox line-up in spring, which is how the Foxes got through several of those games when Neil was down & out. She added a balance to the striker line-up, since Kevin was brilliant and Neil was fast and she was brutal. She got removed in the final round of edits because she added nothing to the line-up but the convenience of her presence and because too much happened in TKM for me to do her character justice. She also kept getting sidelined in emotional moments because she didn’t have enough invested in the team for it to matter. The brief cameo of her as a cheerleader was the best I could offer her.
3. Monochrome is coming together as quickly & often as it falls apart, but every time it shatters it pulls together a little sturdier. We’re back to having a female MC, though – and an ace one at that. The pick-up lines you’ve collected for me are still super useful, though! I have a character who can put them to good use.
i like to think that jeremy knox from the usc trojans makes court someday
#I would read 200K about laila the goalkeeper and Alvarez the usc sunshine puppy lesbians
tbh I’ve been shipping them since the dawn of time
I like to think that this glorious fic was inspired by them
tbh Don’t Speak Against the Sun came first, Laila & Alvarez were a quiet tribute to it instead. @syncytio is one of my fave people in the world & did such an amazing job helping me edit TFC for publication. <3 <3 <3
