While I very rarely picspam music videos, that's not the "something new" for picspammy. Janelle Monae is a new discovery; I found her short film/music video only days ago, thanks to a comment at yuletide. The song is wonderful, and the video hints as a fascinating world that I'd love to learn more about.

The video is YouTube quality, and I don't have much luck capping music videos under the best of circumstances. The video is included at the end of the picspam; I'd encourage you to watch it.

I've gotten over my difficulty with reading scanlations. I still prefer having an actual book in my hands, but that hasn't kept for diving wholeheartedly into OneManga's collection of One Piece chapters. I'm disappointed that One Piece took a detour into racefail territory during the Foxy Pirates chapter; I winced at Usopp's "the power of the afro" speech.

I'm safely signed up for Yuletide. I offered a handful of fandoms, some of which I'm sure I'll have reason to regret later. That is, of course, part of the fine Yuletide tradition.

I ended up trading out Flora Segunda (interesting characters, fascinating worldbuilding) for Mendol (crack, fanservice, and a side of kink). I'm ashamed of myself. . . but not enough to redo my signup.
