Tinfoil Hats and OTPs
Mar. 22nd, 2022 11:10 amBy chance, I was trying to find one of my older fics. You would normally just go to AO3 and start scrolling, but I have a lot.
I mean, A LOT.
So, it is actually sometimes easier for me to just Google my own work. So, I popped in the title I was looking for and discovered that TWO of my Bleach fics were featured on a PODCAST.
"Berry Barista" and "The Loss of More Than Power," were called out as part of the "Ichigo's Harem" by The One True Podcast, Episode 19 (you will have to scroll down, I could not find a direct link. Not that I expect anyone but me cares to listen to this whole thing). The first part of the podcast just explains what Bleach is and why there are so, so many ships that sail with Ichigo, the main protagonist. The story that the guest speaker talks about wishing she could write, is, in fact, "The Loss of More than Power." and then she gets into her recs. And, let me tell you right now, there is literally nothing quite like being simultaneously called out as "I don't think they have updated in a long time," and "It is so good. SO GOOD."
Yep.
My fan fic career in a nutshell.
At any rate, the other thing I forgot to tell you all about is that as part of Shawn's work, she is doing a course in "Design Thinking." It's one of those certification programs that requires a lot of projects. One of them was to design and BUILD a tinfoil hat, I have to admit that I kind of dig the craft parts of this course? Previously, Shawn and I had to do a brainstorming session with post-it notes. I mean, I say "Shawn and I' because technically these are supposed to be "team" projects, but, of course, no one is in the office right now. So, she's been tapping me to be her team.
The good news is that I kind of dig it.
Here's me modeling the cooking tinfoil hat, for the discerning conspiracy theorist who likes to cook and is fond of anglerfish.
It has a recipe hook, a fancy fish tail counter weight, a spoon holder, drip pockets, and so much more!!
Also, as my friend Laurie Winter pointed out when I posted this to Facebook, the other feature of our hat is that the aliens can not implant their recipes into your brain! Bonus!
We sent a series of these pictures to Mason, who left for college and Connecticut the day we sat down to do this with, "Here's what happens when we are left with an empty nest." We got back, "??? ARE YOU OKAY?'
