World: Deep Jungle
Gameplay: 12:43
Level: 19? 20? Somewhere in there. If Sora isn't Level 20 yet, he's about to be, because Goofy just leveled.

Okay, so Wonderland confused me A LOT and also, I was possibly too high level for the boss, because I was totally waiting for the Queen of Hearts to be the boss, but SHE WAS NOT. So what I thought I had to do to finish Wonderland was go find Alice and then return her to Wonderland and then fight the Queen of Hearts, but ACTUALLY I am FINISHED with Wonderland!

( Important discovery: Tarzan could probably save his world from the Heartless all on his own, because he's just that kickass. )

And an unrelated rec!
Pas de deux by neery
Figure skating/Reality TV Evan Lysacek/Johnny Weir, but really it's Evan & Anna Trebunskaya friendship fic. 28,000 words. In which Anna is long-suffering, Evan fails at human emotions, and Johnny sort of shows up to be Johnny on occasion.

It feels like it's been about forever since I've had a weekend off, and even longer since I've had a weekend off and not spent it, like, being social in person. It's so weird having all this free time. I've been spending it waiting for my actions at Echo Bazaar to refresh and reading fanfiction. I might go for a bike ride later.

Here are two comicsbigbang stories I liked!:

DC Comics: JSA
The Faculty of Conscious and Especially Of Deliberate Action by isilfic
Alan Scott, PG-13, 11636 words.
Alan Scott has had a very long life in which lots of things have happened.

Marvel Comics: Young Avengers
Gravity: The Fundamental Things Apply by jazzypom
Eli Bradley/Kate Bishop, R, 21500 words.
jazzypom wrote a really interesting post about Young Avengers fandom and race and female characters a while back, and I have not read Young Avengers in something like four years, but when I saw that she had written a Young Avengers story for Comics Big Bang, I was super excited. This is a story about Eli Bradley, and about superheroes who are not white, and about Eli/Kate. It is very good.


There is also a story from lgbtfest that I thought was pretty great:
Stupendous Man and Pretty Cool Dude (for an old guy) Join Forces by mjules
Calvin & Hobbes. In which Calvin visits his Uncle Max and meets Max's boyfriend.

I am slowly but surely unlocking things in Lego Batman, which I have started playing again for no good reason. I actually found the final missing minikit canister in two scenes in the past week, and finally actually finished the minigame version of Gotham Streets (Villain), although not with a good enough time to unlock anything. Blah blah blah, I am bad at videogames.

I am less bad at Echo Bazaar because the point is doing stupid things and seeing what happens. ( Example! )

Tonight, Evan Lysacek did a "futuristic" dance on DWTS in which he and Anna were vaguely robotic, and Anna was possibly Leeloo, and Evan kept doing terrible robot voices in the training segments. And the same day, baylop wrote The Most Important Thing, which is a story in which Evan Lysacek is secretly a robot. He has little robot feelings, and I realize that that sounds totally condescending, but whatever, it's Evan Lysacek, and the actual story was sort of bittersweet and I love stories where people are secretly robots. The story has a lot of issues with homophones, so if that sort of thing bugs you, beware, but I enjoyed it. But again, robots and my feelings about them.

I have been failing to finish the last Fionavar Tapestry book, and I don't know why, because I want to know what happens. Possibly because I am sure things will somehow manage to get worse and more tragic for our intrepid heroes.

Today I also got my weekly e-mail from my comics shop telling me what comes out this week. I AM SUPER EXCITED about this week's comics. I hope they don't suck!

edit: Some other things! I am going to be slowly working my way through the comicsbigbang stories over the next however long, and it might take me a while to read all the ones that sound good, but I WILL READ THEM EVENTUALLY OKAY.

I am shortly going to start sorting out who I'm following on Dreamwidth and start taking people off my Default View on LJ so I'm not getting double posts by looking at both friends lists. I'm also going to start, like, actually giving people access/subscribing back on Dreamwidth, which I have been bad about doing because I don't get notifications like I do on LJ. I'm not ignoring you, I promise!
