Okay, I've been trying to find that old shipping thread from that paradigm-city archived forums, and I for the life of me can't find it. If I do find it I'll update this journal (heck, I was meaning to update my PF post about it, as well).

UPDATE: I finally found the thread in question! Here's the link to the archived forums to take a look.

Right, so, in the hardest to find thread was about shipping with The Big O characters, and I was surprised that one person could come up with a small hand full for Schwarzwald of all characters. Man, 2000's shipping culture was its own dumpster fire...

What really got my attention was this one pairing: Schwarzwald/Beck. Yes, the same Schwarzwald and the same Beck. When I first saw this my first thought was that the only thing in common was their distaste toward Roger. I discussed this with my brother and we bounced some ideas around, and we found that with these two together it would be filled with misadventures and hi-jinks that it reaches dangerously close to Sam and Max levels of absurdity.

I'm actually tempted to finish this one fanfic about them bumping into each one day and seeing where those two take us. I was thinking of some AU with the manga with the Gigadeus for the fun of it and seeing what happens from there. But first, I have to finish my Visionaries hanahaki disease fanfic before going back to that.

I've been using a flip phone for several months and it's going well for the most part. I still find myself wasting a couple of hours a day on either a tablet and/or desktop, but it's better than having a smartphone to waste more time for me, personally.

At one point, I think we did have a sweet spot/happy medium with technology during the 2000's; landlines and cell phones handling calls (along with text messages on cell phones), computers whether on a desk or it's portable where people can wait for you to get back later, and mp3 players to store all of your albums and songs. A lot devices but it made people think what they really want to have like either a paper map or a GPS. Do I want the processing powers of that time? God, no!

I just think we need less features on phones that I (and possibly other people feel this way, too) personally don't need like Google Assistant for one. It gets a little overwhelming and it becomes bloatware at this point.

Either way, I'm still trying to find a better use of my time when I don't have school work to finish up like getting back into reading or even baking. But, I'm glad I'm getting some of my sense of direction back; it used to be better than this.

To be back here again. I tried this site back in highschool or community college but I could not figure out, or even had the guts, to talk to people here. Hopefully, that changes since I've grown older since my first experience here. But, anyway, what am I going to do here?

Well, I wanted to repost my fanfics and essays in case anything happened to them. But also, and this is a big one, Pillowfort has always had monetary issues but this one is really bad. They need to raise $25K by December 31st of this year or else the IRS will reclassify them as a hobby, and they have to close up shop because of the issues it would bring. I thought there were people on here that have a PF account, IDK, but I do know there are people putting together commission/donations drives for people who aren't able to donate directly to the site because of the region they're in.

I hope it helps in some way, and that's one of the reasons on why I made the account here. The other was just in case they don't make it I'll have this and see where it goes. I already donated (I should've done more but I'm facing some financial issues of my own, as well) and I hope things work out for the PF staff in the end.

It's not perfect but I've felt the most comfortable talking about the things I thought were interesting to me (if it is mundane).
