- Paid off my mortgage
- Finished reading Death Note for the first time (an entry will happen about that later, hopefully)
- Played a few rounds of Go after not doing so for ages, losing to the computer every time per usual
- Moved my paints to an easier-to-access place, which will hopefully make it easier for me to actually sit down and paint some things later
- Signed up for Iddy Iddy Bang Bang
- Worked on a WIP
- Did research for said WIP because I was stuck on some details, found out that I won't need to fix as many things as I'd thought
- Contemplated a trip to Victoria in August, looked up prices, immediately remembered why I never go to major tourist destinations in the summer, decided to ixnay that idea. I'll probably take some time off but just stay home instead. (Maybe I'll go in February or something...)

Someone put together a ship sorter for Conclave pairings. I always find these kind of fun.

( My results )
Overall, nothing shocking here, though I'm surprised that Lawrence/O'Malley ranked above Benitez/Lawrence. And also that Bellini/previous Pope turned out number 1.

I suppose my logic with ranking was, aside from whether I like a pairing or not, is whether I would find it interesting. Bellini obviously had a lot of backstory with previous!Pope; I found his grief etc in the film very compelling. The whole thing with the chess set and so on. So I guess it makes sense.

Not surprised that Adeyemi/Tremblay was #5 for me. Like, neither of them is my favourite character, but they're both such troublemakers. And while they don't have a huge amount of interaction in the film, the amount they DO have is enough to latch onto. That damn cafeteria scene, man. Adeyemi's whole thing with "Judas. Traitor." Yeah, yeah, Tedesco's iconic vape hit, we've all seen it, but the delivery of Adeyemi's line...!

My only disappointment is that Lawrence/Tremblay isn't on the ship list, because like, I DO have opinions on that, unlike some of the stuff on the list. Partially thanks to Tremblay's route in Delectatio Morosa, but also thanks to the book, in which Lomeli is so very BEC about Tremblay and his sports-newscaster-esque good looks and his perfect hair, lol.
