I finally got around to watching the new Fantastic Four movie, and I really enjoyed it.
What made me the happiest was that they kept Ben's Jewish heritage. I had the biggest smile on my face at the scene of him walking into the synagogue.
They've been doing a lot better with Jewish representation recently, like making Wanda's "son" Jewish in Agatha All Along.
It's almost enough to make me forgive them for erasing Wanda and Pietro's Jewishness.
Almost.

I'm so excited yet so nervous for Doomsday. I swear to G-d, if they end up killing Loki off within the first 10 minutes of the movie just to show how terrifying Doctor Doom is, I will rage quit and never give Marvel another penny. PLEASE don't fuck this up, Marvel, PLEASE.

I finally got all of my fics backed up to my new Tumblr blog.
https://mslovelyrita.tumblr.com/
I have lost count of how many times that I have deleted my blog due to the platform's mean-spirited userbase and then rejoined because some of my favorite fic writers that are not anywhere else use it primarily.
This time, I am only using it for archiving purposes (fanfiction, fanart, the rock stars and superheroes that inspire them, and occasionally some Jewish history and mythology tidbits), and will only interact with the select handful of people that I follow on there. Right now, my dashboard feels very safe.
Tumblr became very addictive to me in the past, causing me to feel like a slave to it. I liked feeling like an "important" fanfic author when I got hundreds of notes of likes and reblogs. But then I would get genuinely upset when no one responded for a few hours.
But now that I am treating my blog like an archive site, it feels a lot more enjoyable.

I have such immense sympathy for characters who die in horror movies when they didn't even want to be there in the first place. Partners who got dragged along on a trip, or friends who were talked into doing something they didn't want to.
That said, I also feel that horror movies would be more compelling if the Big Bad were up against smart victims a little more often.

Mar. 20th, 2026 03:23 pmsouthernmedicineLife is pretty chill, for the most part.
Blair was hit hard with the flu and is way behind in almost everything. She graduates in May and is looking down the barrel of having to find a career in her field, though that's looking to be quite difficult these days (national parks and whatnot are being defunded, after all).
I need to do my taxes. I've been doing everything BUT.
Mostly between the two of us, we've been working, sleeping, and cuddling on the sofa watching youtube. It's a listless time, as the season changes over. We got a LOT of snow this last weekend, so much so that my work was closed down on Monday. Keeping things tidy, running errands, and trying to keep up with my shows. I'm not a very interesting person these days, haha.
We've got a small local convention we're going to, the weekend of May 1st, so we're going to have to get our cosplays out and clean and patched up if anything needs patching. We're concerned about Blair's, because, well. Since starting T, she has gotten quite buff, and there's a very good chance that parts of her costume won't fit now. We're also futzing with our hair, because neither of us are much interested in continuing to use wigs when we don't have to. Los Angeles Comic Con also FINALLY dropped their dates for this year, and I've submitted my time off request. It's going to be over Halloween weekend this year, which should be interesting. And a lot of fun.
Trying to finish this week's episode of The Pitt before I gotta get ready to go to Blair's mom's birthday dinner.
