My dream last night was essentially Charles/Erik fanfic -- not at all consistent with XMFC but approximately that feel -- and as a result I've had xmfc on the brain all day. (Didn't help that several Twitter threads used the "Perfection" gif in comments.) Just this huge sense of nostalgia, both for the characters (for the moments where they were together and had the possibility of Together Forever) and for myself (back when I was writing xmfc fic; I'm not even sure I can write any more, let alone write well or get readers, though I do still have multiple fic bunnies rattling around my head, like the semi written one where Erik gets injured with bonus memory loss so gets brought to Charles to take care of him)

and just ... I don't know but I have this

just

yearning?

* I keep wanting to do a language in addition to the Spanish that I'm duolingoing, but a) I can't decide between Yiddish and Korean and Japanese and Russian and ASL, b) three of those involve new alphabets, c) the last one I can't practice "speaking" and so it'd be harder to learn and also it's not practical for communicating, and d) even with Spanish, which is quite similar to English, I'm having issues remembering things these days

* I am half tempted to get a (cheap-ish) bugle, because it doesn't involve fingering and therefore I can either duct tape it to a stick and hold it myself, or have someone hold it for me, and teach myself to play based on YouTube videos, but that is like an incredibly silly temptation to have??? Especially since beginning brass sounds horrible and loud. And the "duct tape to stick" thing probably wouldn't work because it needs to vibrate or something.

(But it would probably be epic for maintaining lung function, lol)
