we've got to hold on to what we've got
My stomach was upset earlier and I just got hit with a huge wave of exhaustion - I think the two are related. Still 90 minutes of working to go though. Sigh.
At least the weather has moderated - today it's only 80° with low humidity, so I've got the windows wide open and there's a lovely breeze.
In fannish news, Netflix is giving Shadow and Bone another season, which makes me wonder if we'll see not just Nikolai (♥NIKOLAI♥) but also Wylan, as he does know Kaz before he gets pulled into the Dregs' shenanigans fully with the Ice Court Heist.
And of course I hope we get to see Nina and Inej's friendship bloom as Nina tries to get Matthias out of jail in Ketterdam.
And then I suppose season 3 could cover the last Alina book and the events of Six of Crows simultaneously. Though I'm not sure how the geopolitical situation will shake out to allow Nikolai, Zoya, and Genya to be in Ketterdam along with Jesper's DAD. And now I'm sad that Howard Charles was already cast as the Conductor because he could have been a lot of fun as Jesper's DAD. I hope they get someone good for him.
And lastly, today's June Something:
Day 4: What are the origins of your penname/username?
Well, my pen name (victoria p.) is my actual wallet name. When I was a little kid (I mean, about 5 or 6), I used to run away from home a lot, if by "run away" you mean "hide downstairs in my grandmother's apartment until someone came looking for me," which I do, and I signed all my "you'll be sorry/tragic goodbye" notes "victoria p." as if there were another victoria in the house and someone might be confused (there wasn't and they weren't). And so it's always been my name and why wouldn't I use it online as well?
I only didn't use it for a website or LJ name because I didn't like seeing it in the URL, so I needed to find something else, and I used to write this line of poetry in all my teenage journals/poetry books (by which I mean, notebooks in which I wrote poetry): "Fool," said my Muse to me, "look in thy heart and write." So I named my website "The Muse's Fool" and then I truncated it down to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
musesfool for an LJ/DW/AO3 name, though someone else has it on tumblr, which, what the actual fuck. Not that I was going to use it when I joined tumblr - my tumblr name is different on purpose, but when I thought about switching it back to musesfool I discovered I couldn't, which again, what the actual fuck??? I kind of do think of it as my name now - I've been musesfool online for 20 years! - so having someone else use it seems really wrong, unlike, say, other people using Victoria P., which could very well be their wallet name as well.

I'm really curious to see what they do with the Crows next season - the showrunner has said he can't see the jurda parem plot happening in a world where the Darkling is still alive (which I kinda agree with, but then like, why did you choose to combine the stories, bro?), but I'm of the same opinion as you, that they start up SoC simultaneously with the end of the trilogy. I think it would work out, since the other Grisha don't need to come into the story until CK, which can be S4.
It would be odd to see you under any other name on tumblr! I never bothered to even check if vialethe is available, the "your tumblr handle must be different and interesting" trend was too strong.

Yay!

That is all true, though I get wanting to introduce the Dregs/Crows early as they are a lot of fun, and really, what show couldn't be improved with a heist in the B-plot? And then they could lock up the actors as needed. Who knows how the casting might have gone if they'd waited. I can't imagine missing out on Kit Young's Jesper. *g*

It would be weird! I definitely thought my tumblr was only going to be for posting baking photos and poetry, hence the different name, but I should have known better as the real reason I got one was to follow Robin-related tumblrs. *g*

I know what you mean about your name. I would feel so weird to run into another lunabee34.

It's just not something I would have expected to see someone else come up with independently? Like, it's not a character or fandom-related thing, or my favorite ice cream or whatever so it was a surprise. And of course, the tumblr only had like 2 posts from 3 years ago. 🤨
