169.

It's one drink. Maybe two. Maybe a little more than that. Opeli allows it because it's Soren's birthday, and he doesn't really celebrate his birthdays anymore, and he deserves a bit of fun. It's just another number these days, he says, another year, and the galas and the parties and the more formal celebrations were fun once but he's reached a point now where the simplicity of dinner and drinks with his closest friends and family is what makes his day.

Now it's late, and the candles are burning low. The song has been sung. The cake has been eaten. The others have all gone upstairs for the night, eager to sleep off the feast and the alcohol and it's just the two of them left in the kitchens with one last bottle of wine between them and something heady in the air.

There is danger here and they know it, but Opeli is... some number of glasses of wine in and her defenses have been loosened by good food and company. The wine is rich and sweet, its warmth like a pleasant heat humming in her veins that makes the very air feel sluggish and thick. She was never very good at drinking—she is used to having one glass with dinner but no more usually, unless it's a special occasion and she lets herself indulge in a second. She doesn't know what number this is. Five maybe? Enough that she would have called herself tipsy by the end of dinner, but that was an hour ago now and she is still pouring herself another glass.

"I'm impressed," says Soren, smirking at her from behind his goblet. "I didn't think you were one to drink."

She scoffs. "I don't. Not usually. But it's your birthday today and I think that warrants a little fun."

"Weren't you the one who told me you don't need alcohol to have fun?"

She waves him off. "That was years ago, and you of all people should know I'm terrible at taking my own advice." She drinks once more, relishing the burn as she swallows and thinking of other things, sweeter, warmer, just as intoxicating, but in entirely different ways. "It was a good birthday dinner, then?"

"One of the best," says Soren, watching her carefully over his goblet. "I should thank you."

"Ezran planned it."

"I get the feeling you helped."

Opeli lets out a laugh, her hood slipping, just a bit. "A little. He wanted to throw you something bigger. He seemed to think it was unfair you wanted something small the year he finally turned eighteen."

He snorts at that and takes a drink himself. "I can't help that I'm mature now."

"Is that what we're calling it?"

"Well, you would know, wouldn't you?"

Opeli scoffs into her wine, her eyes coy over the top of her glass. "Perhaps."

He catches her eye and smirks. "Like fine wine, right?"

Sweet, and warm, and intoxicating, yes, but Opeli doesn't say that. She only twitches her lips, watching the way he watches her and the way he sets his goblet down and leans back in his chair, knees set apart, one elbow on the table, lazy, content, inviting.

"Is there a reason we're still down here and not somewhere else, High Cleric?"

Opeli smirks back. "Is there somewhere else we're supposed to be, Captain?"

"Bed, maybe," he says, eyes twinkling. "It's pretty late. Can I walk you up?"

And the answer is no. And it should be no. But Opeli has never been able to say no to him, and if she's honest, she doesn't want to. Tonight she is loose and under the influence, and Soren is handsome and charming in the candlelight, and it's his birthday, for heaven's sake, and that warrants a little fun.

"If you'd like," Opeli says. "There are other ways to celebrate too, I think."

He laughs and gets up to offer her his arm. "There sure are."

And oh, how there are.

People with morals and integrity - I'm watching Moonlight Chicken despite the cheating plot

Me, a trash person raised on soap operas and telenovelas -

Pleng is EVIL, Knock. Korn loves you! Do us all a favor and ruin Pleng's day.

Ploy is nice and all, but Vee, you love Mark! Could poly be the answer?

Tol, if you can't remember that you love, kiss, and sleep with Tin, you're not really cheating on Mai, right? It's science.

Why did you get back together with Mint, Pete?! Just kiss Kao already. Mint's going to try to ruin your life anyway, so just kiss him now!

Sam, you better kiss Mon so hard that you both forget about your fiance, Kirk! - Sam's entire friend group

Hira, it's not even official with Kazuki! You better kiss Kiyoi right now!

Tawan, can you please cheat on Por already?! Mork is standing right there, and Por is already cheating on you! It's the way justice works.

Cake, you're making it very obvious to Rin that you are emotionally cheating on her with Eiw. Go harder so nobody can question who you love.

Wen, you have Alan waiting at home, don't *oop* Hey, Jim

I'm watching Moonlight Chicken because of the cheating plot.

#Most anticipated of 2022 AND 2023! #Moonlight Chicken #Give me that cheating plot and let me see how the cookie crumbles #Give me fictional characters with questionable morals #Jim x Wen #I'm glad there are people with morals to balance out me existing in the world #Gives me hope for the future #Now give me my cheaters

probably has been talked about before but after great consideration ( = rewatching moonlight chicken 5 more times) I have decided that my second most favourite scene (after the uncle nephew beer sharing) is the one with li ming and his friends after football practice

there are very subtle and very overt ways this show has woven in its main themes and this scene falls somewhat in the middle. it is very explicit what this is about but it is also not called out by its name.

but the way they show how li ming might not face overt homophobia but what a weight heteronormativity can be is just so excellent. how alienating it can be that you feel like there is this part of you you cannot talk to about with anyone if you wanted to. how his friends very likely mean no harm, they just have never considered one of their friend group not being straight.

just such a great scene.

#moonlight chicken #my personality is this show the msp soundtrack the anticipation of the next gl and NIF

i haven't had chicks in four years, I've forgotten how tiny they are. I'm feeding them out of a jar lid rn

#everything is in miniature #i bought a 2lb feeder in anticipation #1. i needed another feeder and they'd need one ultimately #but they're much too tiny. im hoping theyll be able to use it in a week but i think two weeks is more realistic #theyre sooo small #and im talking standard chickens. hell one of them is likely going to be 10lbs at full grown #(standard chickens are. 4-5lbs) #quail and bantams blow my mind

tomorrow i have to go to this painfully het wedding for my cousin and his creepy cult gf and like, since she evangelicalpilled him, they seriously restricted the alcohol there (1/2 a barrel of fucking pbr for 120 people) so.   literally everyone in my family is bringing a cooler lmfao.  basically since theyre both being weird ultra christian assholes about it everyone has decided that we’re all gonna get Very Drunk off parking lot rum and bourbon

#im anticipating me infodumping about 1. isopods 2. chickens 3. explosive decompression #theres like so much WEIRD going on with the culty shit. like she isnt allowed to drive and despite being in her 30s and engaged #she has had to be home by 11pm #she works at the Church Childcare Center (daycare) but tells people she is a teacher #she doesnt talk to anyone else and the two of them just stand in the corner at family events #and my cousin has like 100% changed everything about himself since meeting her ??? his clothes his hair his taste in music his hobbies #like its WEIRD and VISIBLE #also theyre gonna live in his parents attic. theyre going home after the wedding to the tiny room above his parents bedroom.

There's something so tragically somber yet beautiful about the way Alan and Wen's ep 5 dinner scene is filmed and written that had me fully captured and emotional.

There's so many factors at play that make me want to hug the screenwriters and directors cause wow! This is how you capture a breakup. This is how you bring out character development and entice an audience's emotional response!

I think it's the fact that the cinematographers are playing with something typically romantic - a dinner scene at an outdoor restaurant, something we might expect from a date night out - filmed with intimate close ups to capture Alan and Wen's detailed expressions, and yet, instead of feeling warmth for something this personal, we're thrown dark lighting and dialogue riddled with metaphors.

The wordplay insomuch as the play on contrasts is what gets to me! And don't get me started on the rising hum of the background music, which panders in intensity to indicate an epiphany - for Alan, who is fully realizing the end of their relationship, and to our audience, which is grasping with the finality of it all. It's simply stunning.

These lines hit me so hard:

And this too omg

(made me think of that line we accept the love we think we deserve pls now I'm crying)

The delivery on these lines!! There's no harshness, no resentment, just pure honesty and liberation. And the body language coming from Alan? So much beauty in subtle performance. It brought me to tears.

And if that weren't already enough, the literary nerd in me gasped when this happened:

Shakespeare who? I only know Moonlight Chicken screenwriters

#literally got so hooked on this drama #it's much more mature than i anticipated #and I'm here for it #amazing performances! #moonlight chicken #moonlight chicken the series #gmmtv #thai drama #thai bl

According to my mood tracking app, the longest I have gone without writing since I started up again in Jan 2021 was ten days in a row, which was when I was in GA for xmas during the last two weeks of Dec 2021...

The overall effect on my mood when including the writing activity is pretty high, in a positive way, based on the data.

All of that to say that my current depressive slump as a result of facing the fact that I may have finally hit a hard wall of burn out, after two years of intense output?

...well, it makes sense lol.

#thoughts #personal #depression #mental health #i desperately need a break i know i do my brain is spinning out ans having difficulty even starting on concepts/stories #but also... writing is the center tower of my support structure it's what I do to unwind and make myself happy #i anticipated some amount of this uhh feeling gutted and empty after break up au was over #but i didn't anticipate this fucking weird limbo inbtw of being burnt out and unable to write but ALSO unable to find joy in other things?? #my brain doesn't want to read it doesn't want to play video games or do art or pursue a different hobby #it's not latching onto any non pirate things despite me pspspssing ans throwing other content in front of it #like I'm TRYING #with 1899 with Sunder with Disco Elysium etc #it feels like shit frankly #and also a lot of the pirate ppl i started this journey with have also gotten tired or moved on completely #i just am absolutely CONFOUNDED that my brain is finding zero joy in even rotisserie chickening pirate stuff #who am i? #god i hope it's just a little slump and I snap out of it #cuz i am thrashing like a fish in a net trying to figure out how to make ny brain happy #what's the magic formula #and the brain fog is still here so like i would LOVE more distraction from IRL shit #i can use my friends to produce joy to some extent right now but it's limited #bc im also Still Tired so doing the Jay Thing of trying to fill needs and thus feel useful has a hard limit #reminds myself im not just an endless battery #anyway im desperately trying to find heathy coping and not ooze all over everybody but it's fucking hard #venting #i find it hard to talk to my therapist about this which maybe means i need a new one #just another Thing to do

you might think it sounds so cute and wonderful to have a baby chick imprint on you

you might think it'd be adorable and a good ol' time

until the baby chick cries unless you hold it, cries if you leave the room for 5 seconds, or forces you to hold it against your neck in a lil scarf sling so you can use your hands

#personal #ignore me #i did not anticipate this aspect of chicken motherhood #i need one more egg to hatch desperately #so she can have a friend

I will never get over how Santino will open his mouth for treats/cheese and just... wait for me to put it in his mouth. Like he's taking communion.

#he cracks me up man #he uhhhhh HATES his booties. and his baby socks. which I anticipated but OMG such a brat #so he got some of his new chewy chicken treats so we'd be friends again and he just sits there #staring up with his mouth open like ok now ur part I am not taking it I am baby I am provided FOR thank you #erin explains it all

being so brave right now (i ate something different from my current safety foods and am petrified of it triggering a gallstone attack but it shouldnt but it might i guess)

#c shut up #the only food that i KNOW i shouldnt have but have anyways is these chocolate chip muffins #my job gets for the office #they're higher in fat than im supposed to eat but i had them multiple times before i was confirmed to have gallstones #and never had a problem so they're my fun little treat :') #my diet has been very chicken and pasta heavy #but nonetheless im too anxious for my own good and anticipate an attack with everything i eat OTL
