more revalink hcs from this post part 4
previous revalink hcs here: x x x
full disclosure i rearranged and took out some of the questions around because a handful of them were related to cooking/eating and it's like. what else can i say other than link is disaster gay who can cook and revali is disaster gay who can drive
who’s the first to wake up in the morning
if you've read the sleepy link x coddler revali fic, you know what's up but here's a quick recap:
at first it was link because of his insomnia, hypervigilance, or his nightmares, and it would end up waking revali up too, because revali is a light sleeper
but gradually, link relearns how to sleep in again, comforted by the warmth and steadiness of revali's embrace, and now revali is the one who wakes up first by default and he stays in bed with link cuddled up on his chest, admiring how soft and peaceful his beloved songbird is <3
who’s the one to make breakfast:
revali is the type of person who doesn't eat breakfast because he can't stomach food that early in the morning (i'm projecting again) and him and link wake up pretty early as per the previous concept
but link always makes him eat a little bit because he's a firm believer that breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
(in the future, link is the type to cook a big meal for every mealtime to sit down and eat with revali and their babies, because food is his love language 🥹)
who orders lunch
if link isn't around to make his food, it's revali
bitch would be living on that hellofresh shit if it weren't for link making their food all the time
could you imagine youtuber!revali doing a hellofresh sponsor
"yes, well, i suppose i should offer the proper gratitude for the sponsor of today's video, hellofresh. without my boyfriend or you, i might have starved to death and left the world one less god for its mortals to walk with."
who steals food from the other’s plate without asking
link LMFAO he's just a hungry little guy
"link, you have your own plate with twice the amount of servings on it."
"i cooked the food, i can eat whatever i want even if it's on your plate!"
revali is so soft for him though, he'll let link eat as much as he wants
revalink but they're the yoonkook moment where yoongi says watching jungkook eat makes him feel full
who cleans up the kitchen afterwards
revali cleans because he feels bad that he is a disaster in the kitchen and cannot help whatsoever during the actual creation of the meals; he is not allowed near the cooking pot 👍
will straight up snatch the plates from link's hands and insists on cleaning and link will smile at him fondly as revali aggressively scrubs the dishes
who curls up next to the other and falls asleep due to a full tummy
link for sure because he eats so fast and so much
revali will roll his eyes but continue eating as link snuggles into his lap for a quick food-induced power nap because revali will still make him get up to go take a shower and get ready for bed properly
who would suggest a quickie in the morning before work
LINK LMFAO WHO ELSE
he's already straddling revali's lap before revali can even register what link just said and then— oop. revali is going to be 30 minutes late to work now
who suggests they both ditch work to lay around all day
neither of them would actually because they both have really strong self-discipline
they only suggest ditching when they notice the other being really tired or burnt out, and then suddenly link is at the receptionist's desk at revali's workplace demanding they let revali go home early like he's a parent pulling their kid out of class for an appointment
who chooses the movies
revali hands down
he's the type of guy who took theatre, film history, movie analysis, and all those kinds of classes as general eds in college
he has a letterboxd account where he frequently updates his list of watched movies and heavily critical reviews. he's amassed a small cult following there because of how out of pocket-ly mean his reviews are 😭 to the point where people start using his reviews as memes KDJFHKDJHF
link is one of the people who use it as a meme and is the one that tells revali that he's a internet microcelebrity now. revali facepalms (but secretly his ego has been stroked)
who initiates kissing during the movie, thus distracting the other from the movie all together
both of them HAHA
it's mostly link, but if link chose the movie and revali's not into it, he'll start slowly making moves on link KJDHFKJD
"come on link, is the movie really more interesting than me~?"
"shh revali, singing killed his grandma 🥺🥺🥺🥺" KJDHFKDHFKDJHFKDJ
who distracts the other from trying to work at home
mostly link because he gets pretty needy
revali does it more often than you would expect though, they're almost equally very needy and clingy to each other
link just keeps barging into revali's office to the point where revali has to lock the door
then link is just sliding down to the floor against the door screaming the lyrics to Gotta go my own way from High school musical until revali unlocks the door again and begrudgingly lets link sit on his lap while he works
if it's revali, he will straight up just pick link up from his work even if link complains, carries link to their room to flop link on the bed, lie down on top of him, and then cuddle ❤️
who asks to go get ice cream like a five year old
it's absolutely link
if revali says no, link books it after the ice cream truck with revali yelling and running after him
revali pays for link's fucked up spongebob popsicle though 🥺 and link makes him get a fucked up patrick popsicle to match
revali also the type to be like "we have ice cream at home" only for link to respond with "nuh uh i ate it all"
revali: what? we had like 2 huge buckets of ice cream in the freezer. what do you mean you ate it all
link: 🥺
who takes pictures of their partner eating ice cream
revali. link made him take like 30 pics and post at least one on his instagram story
(revali keeps the other 29 pictures of link though in his folder of cute link pics to look at later)
who makes a sexual joke about the dripping ice cream on their partner’s face
you're not gonna believe this but it's revali
it slipped out he didn't actually mean to say it out loud
but link stares at him with wide eyes and mouth agape, then suddenly downs the rest of his ice cream, and then starts dragging revali home so he can jump him in the bedroom
link is just 😭 a horny little creature idk how revali keeps up with him
who stays up until 2 reading
it's revali, you know damn well he got those reading glasses and one of those lamps you clip onto the back of the book
he tried leaving the whole room light on at first but link was like i sleep in here too dickhead Close the damn light
the book-clip lamp was actually a gift from link because he did Not want revali to be contributing even more to their electricity bill
link has tried to join in but he's such a sleepy little guy he falls asleep with the book on his face and he felt bad (revali didn't really care but link was nearly gonna cry from being so guilty)
so instead, revali will read some of his own book aloud to link to make him feel involved until link falls asleep to his voice and also clinging to revali's side
who stares at their partner while their sleeping
revali of course but he doesn't do it in the creepy twilight edward way
when revali notices that link has fallen asleep to his reading, he'll put his bookmark in and set the book on the table to comb his fingers through link's hair
he just stares fondly at link, wondering how he was blessed to have a gift of a person like link because revali thinks of himself as a difficult person to love. how does link put up with him? why did link choose to stay with him? i guess he'll never know
(that's a lie; revali voiced these insecurities to him once and link got so mad he yelled at revali about how much he loved him and why, then locked himself in the office for the rest of the night only for revali to wake up the next morning to an entire powerpoint presentation from link on why revali is the most lovable person in the world)
who kisses their partner while they sleep
also revali but not in the creepy sleeping beauty way
revali is a big fan of forehead kisses especially because he's taller than link so he often likes to pull link closer and kiss his forehead before they leave for work or something
and he does the same as he's gazing upon link's sleeping face, wondering how he was blessed to have such an angel of a human being for a lover
revali will cup link's face with one hand and start with one kiss on link's forehead, a second one on his nose, and the last one being a very soft, chaste kiss on his lips 🤍 he's just so soft for link y'all 😭🥹
one time link woke up during the second kiss but didn't open his eyes until revali kissed him on the mouth, and then immediately pushed revali onto the bed to kiss him back harder. like i said 😭 horny little creacher

PoliZ's WIP Update - 27 Dec 2023
A slow-ish writing week, but I’m okay with that, considering the holidays. I touched  4 fics (3 new works & 1 WIP)  for a total of  1917 words.
On Ao3, I posted: 
Three holiday ficlets:
Deck the Halls -  a No Powers AU Stucky meet cute/meet ugly while dealing with a Karen.  
Making Room  - Post-Endgame Morgan and Tony talking about a family friend  (background WinterPepperony) 
I Need a Little Angel Sitting On My Shoulder - No Powers platonic Stony AU with Tony in recovery and Steve as his sponsor. 
Reluctant Four Footed Heroes -  Established relationship Stucky + Alpine and Dodger 
Chapter Nine of  Never More to Go Astray -  Star Wars fusion with eventual Stuckony - finally wrapping up this fic!   
On Tumblr I posted: 
 A (Not So) Misplaced Gift -  Bucky isn’t sure what to do with the magical gift he’s been given; Steve has some insight.  
I have 16 semi-active WIPs   that I’ll be carrying over into the new year 😬 with my  current  deadlines being the Stucky’Verse Bingo which wraps on 29 Dec and the Bucky Barnes Bingo which wraps on 10 Jan.  
See  below cut for what I’m working on/planning to work on - arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc.  As always, feel free to send me   prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding  any of these projects  or any other WIPs I’ve got out there.   Interaction really helps feed the Muse and keep me motivated!
Seek & Destroy Collab
After reading @psychiccatpanda‘s amazing   Morguna and the Green Queen, I  got the itch to explore the Soldier’s POV and talked  Faustie into   collab’ing with me!  We’re working on a new part of the series, and I’ve  contributed about 900 words towards the  2500-ish we have so far.   Going to see if I can squeeze any of my BBB squares into this fic.
Stucky’Verse Bingo Round 1 - [SVB_R1]   (Ends 22 29 Dec)
Seventeen  fills, three  WIPs and a couple of ideas.  Have one bingo & am shooting for hopefully one more bingo with the fics listed below - thanks to the mods extending the deadline by a week!  
* B2- Pets - Posted Reluctant Four Footed Heroes  on Monday.  It was  inspired by a round of square interpretation during the BBB Discord party.  Stucky domestic shenanigans with Alpine & Dodger which  came in at 226 words. 
* A4 - Fairy Tale Curse  - Despite being custom-made for a continuation of Beyond the Beast,  I just haven’t been able to to pull anything together in time.  😞    
* C2 - Meet Ugly - Posted  Deck the Halls  on Friday - a No Powers AU holiday fic that crossed over with my Winter Break Advent calendar prompt Day 1:  Putting Up Holiday Decorations at the Hospital.  It came in at 517 words.   
Bucky Barnes Bingo  - [BBB_R5]   (Ends 10 Jan 2024)
I’ve got  twenty-two fills for  four bingos, four WIPs,   and a couple more Vague ideas. Aiming for a blackout - we’ll see how close I get!  
* B3 - Sunrise/Sunset -  squished this into Chapter Nine of  Never More to Go Astray  to wrap up my Star Wars fusion fic with  Jedi!Steve,  Mandalorian!Bucky and fugitive!Tony in a Stuckony finale.  It came in at 781 words and posted this morning. 
* U3 - Fireplace -  posted  Making Room  on Friday - a soft WinterPepperony + Morgan holiday ficlet that came in at 256 words.
* C2 - Yelena Belova–   The plan is to use this prompt in the next chapter of Peresmešnik,  (aka Three Avengers and a Baby), which is I poked at a little recently and is currently sitting at 1551  words (800-ish of which are mine).
* C5 - Marriage of Convenience/Pretend Couple -  planning to use this in the next chapter of   Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion.    Got a spark of an idea the other day that might get me a bit further on this fic.  
* K3 - Magic -  Wrote up A (Not So) Misplaced Gift as a crossover with the Flash Fiction Friday prompt   [#FFF232 Among Any Option]. It came in at 301 words and will  post to Ao3 before this event ends.
* May Adopted - Insomnia - finally got this filled with The Dead of Night, which also filled a Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF211 An Old Friend] along with my JBB FREE square. It came in at 317 words and will post to Ao3 before this event ends.
* August Adoptable: Take the Shot - Got inspired by a  discussion over on the BBB Discord server about which Avengers would be the best at pool/billiards -  pulled in a BaBB December prompt: Wingman and kept my original  WinterHawk pairing to write up It’s In the Way That You Use It - a No Powers AU with a meetup at a bar pool table - Natasha and Steve acting as the wingman/woman. It’s coming in at 1313 words and will post Friday.   
Tony Stark Bingo Round 7  - [TSB_R7]   (ends 15 Feb)
Twenty-one  fills and zero WIPs as of the moment, with a couple of ideas in play.  
* S1 - Galaxy -  see BBB Sunrise/Sunset. 
* T2 - KINK: Cock-blocking 'bots -  I still want to combine this with  the  Fictober Day 27: prompt   "I don't know if they will accept this."   
* T5 - Shawarma - possible crossover with SAUB Canon Divergence – Battle of New York-related?
* A2 - KINK: Concubine - possible crossover with SAUB Gentle Dom  and SRB Multiple Submissives.  I’ve got a fairly fleshed out  (so to speak) story in mind   (Dom!Tony/sub!Steve/sub!Bucky) - just need to get it on paper.   
* A3 -  FREE  – @SomeSortofItalianRoast and I are looking at collabing on a  Steve/Tony/Scott fic - still need to throw some ideas around on this.  
* R5 - Doppelganger/Evil Twins -   The Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF214 Broken Mirror] got me at least a good start on the idea I’ve been playing with for this square. I posted NamNori on Tumblr and have a general idea of how I want to build on it to also fill my SAUB AU: Crack square. It’s currently sitting at 360 words.
Stony AUniverse Bingo  [SAUB_R1] (ends 15 Feb)
Another brand-new bingo I’m helping co-mod!   Six fills, three WIPs and several  crossover ideas already!
* S1 - Edging - Filled this with Ringing in the New, where Tony makes a suggestion to improve/change up their love life. It’s a crossover with a Flash Fiction Friday prompt: How Do You Use ‘It’? and came in at 324 words - I will post it to Ao3 before the event is over.
* S2 - AU: Crack - see TSB   Doppelganger/Evil Twins
* S3 - AU: Wings - possibly Chapter Three of     Half of the Flesh and Blood That Makes Me Whole   - a Bucky POV remix of at least the first part of Take What Was Wrong (And Make it Right),
* S5 - Accidental Baby Acquisition - see BBB Yelena Belova
* T1 - AU: Fantasy -  CoffeeOwl shared a really cool dragon!Steve/indebted!Tony prompt in the ACB Discord server that I may be playing with for this.
* T4 - AU: Canon Divergence - see TSB Shawarma above.
* T5 - AU: No Powers - Posted I Need a Little Angel Sitting On My Shoulder last Friday.  Tony’s struggling with his sobriety during the holidays and reaches out to his sponsor, Steve.   It came in at 484 words and will post on the 18th.    
* O2 - Omegaverse - I have a Vague Idea inspired by  @kandisheek’s lovely art piece.  
* N2 - Mutual Pining - crossover with CABB Royal Knight?
* N3 - Gentle Dom - see TSB KINK: Concubine above
* N5 - AU: Multiple Identities - Posted  The Secrets We Keep  to Tumblr.  It’s a first person alternating POV ficlet with mutual pining (and secret identity) Stony.   It came in at 314 words and will get posted to Ao3 before the event ends. 
* Y4 - AU: Soulmates  -  @chrissihr  posted a cool idea about Animated soulmarks, where  only your SM sees your mark move - may try to do something with this!  
Captain (America) Bottom Bingo - Round 2 [CABB] (ends 28 Feb 2024)
I signed up for a 3x3 card for this bingo and have four fills, two WIPs and a couple of crossover ideas.
* A2 - Secret/Forbidden Relationship - see SVB Harem
* B3 - Royal Knight - see SAUB Mutual Pining.
Post July Break Bingo  [JBB_23p] (Ends Apr 2024)
One fill on my  2x3 non-fandom-specific card - still working on  potential crossovers.
* A1 - “It’s you. It’s always been you.” - This might fit in with my TSB Doppelgangers/Evil Twins fill NamNori above :: ponders::
* B2 - Character’s personality is split into two different beings – I’ve never played with Bucky & the Soldier being two different people, but this seems like the perfect opportunity! Will see what might be a good crossover on BBB or WIB (or even SVB)
*  C1 - Touch Starved – another good fit for a Bucky-centric fic. (Steve or Tony or Clint) possibly crossover with BBB Take the shot?
Steve Rogers Bingo - Round 3 [SRB_R3] (ends  15 Jun 2024)
Two fills  - need to ponder possible crossovers, especially with SAUB, SVB   & CABB.  
* A2 - Age Difference - see SVB B4 - Sugar Daddy
* C5 - Exes to Lovers  - crossover with  CABB - "B1 - "All I wanted was for you to be happy."  – Bucky or Tony as the Ex?   SAUB S4 - Arranged Marriage  might be an additional crossover  
* D1 - Multiple Submissives -  Stuckony crossover with  CABB - C3 - Bath/shower sex  and SAUB  Y1 - Pre-Serum Steve Rogers?  
* D3 - Tony Stark - see BBB Sunrise/Sunset
Build-A-Bucky Bingo [BaBB_R1]
Another fun year-long  event from the folks at  @buckybarnesevents!  Each month there’s a list of prompts and you choose (at least) one  each month for your card!
* November:  Crackfic  - see  BBB K4 - Accidental villany
* December – see BBB Take the Shot. 
Warm and Fluffy   Bingo  - [WFB]   (no end date)
Four  fills on my card, courtesy of   @warmandfluffybingocards  - need to try for another crossover or two! 
————
On  other creative fronts:  I am working on an Iron Man Stuffed With Character figures for an upcoming con - have one figure left to work on for my   Marvel Trumps Hate  auction winners. If  you’re looking for one of a kind gifts for birthdays or other celebrations (besides this coming Christmas), check  out Stuffed With Character    over on Facebook for a full list of my designs (now over 150!).   These soft stuffed figures are  mostly Marvel and monsters, but I have some Star Wars, Star Trek, DC   and Disney figures as well. Plus I love to take custom design   requests  for any fandom!

there's something so ?? ? ? ? tumblr about a sponsored post suggesting people get a good nights sleep and the comments being full of "you're not my mom" "go fuck yourself" "some of us have school" "staff obviously thinks we're all children bc some of us have work" "well SOME OF US have insomnia think before you speak asshole"
i'm not even here to lick staff's boots, i'm just adding this to the trend of people getting touchy instead of recognizing a post isn't for them and moving on, it's just really not that serious

Insomnia is a sponsor of my posting.
In the movie Caótica Ana one of the characters says that living in the cave nowadays is an act of art or poetic act, meaning that not that many people would trade comfort of living in the society for the freedom of cave living. Is it applicable to the art nowadays? If I choose not to create since so much has already been created. I think though that I am a coward, and I am very inconsistent with it. Also I want appreciation and I am afraid to be unnoticed.

Music Monday #222: Dreamcatcher - VISION release: October 2022 genre: Kpop, K-rock
I know, I know, it's been weeks of me promising to come back to this series and with this specific track even. At six months and change since release, I'm a bit late to the party. Or more accurately, a bit late to bringing the party to all of you. And yes, it is absolutely my intention to bring a review entry every day in May in a desperate attempt at something like getting caught up with new(er) releases. XD
As with last year's "MAISON," "VISION" also combines overdriven guitar and rock beats with dance-pop vocals and an overtly political message in the lyrics. Dreamcatcher (and Edenary, who write and produce for them) knows their niche for title tracks - the crossing of rock/metal with pop - and embody it in a way that makes it look easy. Similarly, the video makes a return to a post-apocalyptic world, one a bit further progressed in the destruction. But where before the ladies were (probably) goddesses calling out for help to save the burning world, this time around the ladies have stepped up to do be active combatants. There's a vibe here that feels like a close cousin to ATEEZ's Guerrilla - a world in ruin and dominated by militaristic fascism with the artists cast as scrappy freedom fighters. Only the ladies have the advantage of superpowers and are more clearly going after a global threat. This makes two videos in a row arguably telling pieces of the same story, something the writer in me will always latch onto with pleasure. Will this continue? Well, since Vision's release, Dreamcatcher has released another single, Reason, and both the song itself and the MV for it are thank you gifts to Insomnia, as part of marking their sixth anniversary. Whether we will go back to the previous story in the next release or start something new, only time will tell. "VISION" is the title track off Dreamcatcher's second 2022 album, [Apocalypse: Follow Us], available wherever you like to listen to Kpop. Want to see Music Monday deep dives more often? Sponsor a song selection! For the low, low price of one (1) KoFi, I'll write up the song of your choice. ANY song of your choice. Yes, even that one that's been played to death. Yes, your obscure faves too. With sponsors, I can stop skipping weeks and falling further and further behind in the releases! Sponsor a current CB for the next open Music Monday slot or sponsor a throwback for a Thursday feature! But seriously, if you've been enjoying my selections and analyses, we (me and the foster kittens) would love a KoFi in thanks. DW | Twitter | Mastodon | Ko-fi | Patreon | Discord | Twitch

the old guard but make it sports i guess??
to the surprise of everyone (mostly me tbh) i actually put some thought into these! read on for weirdly specific meta
some sports lend themselves quite naturally to the old guard (fencing, horseback riding, martial arts etc) but i got to thinking about what sports would they go into that wouldn’t be related to their ‘jobs’ or maybe in a modern au and THUS:
for nile i thought something that would suit her quick thinking and way of pushing her own limits would be rock climbing. it’s the kind of sport that takes a lot of physical and mental strength along with endurance and agility which i think would be a great match for her. also consider her reaching the top of whatever she’s climbing and just standing there, looking out over the landscape, the wind against her skin, at peace, just taking it all in... it’d be a thing she’d do just for herself, a way to cement her self confidence in new areas and experience a combination of adrenaline and intense focus that she can really revel in
for joe and booker the obvious choice would be football/soccer of course but here’s my niche scandinavian take: handball! it’s a team sport, quite fast paced compared to football (we’re talking like. 20 goals per game) and quite physical. (it also enjoys popularity in both north africa and france if that matters!) i also considered tennis, squash (the sport) and even badminton but i think joe would dig the social aspects of it and drag booker along because damn boy, you need to get out of the house and talk to people, ok. i call the pose for their picture ‘don’t throw that fucking thing at me and don’t give me those eyes i can see you lifting it you absolute walnut’. 
(nicky dutifully attends their big games and usually drags nile along - neither of them have any real interest in the sport but nicky buys the best snacks and they sit in the back the entire time practicing italian shit talking and listening to podcasts with shared headphones) (andy used to go too but she got a little too uh enthusiastic and got banned. oops)
my knowledge of roller derby is limited to that one ellen page movie BUT holy shit can you imagine andy and quynh tearing up the rink??? fucking lethal my dudes. we know they’re both quick, elegant and strong af so their games would be fast paced, at times brutal and they’d both have the best fucking time. in an au they’d probably meet while on opposing teams and flirt via basically mauling each other - esp with quynh as a jammer, the player who scores points by lapping the opposing team who have to stop her. nobody knows whether to be annoyed when they finally get together because the public flirting gets outright dirty or relieved because the injury percentage drops SO MUCH, oh my god how are they both still standing. and yes, their derby names would be pit wiper and androma kills because get fucking wrecked. the boys all get too caught up at their games and make a lot of stupid bets that nile inevitably wins because she’s the only one with critical thinking skills in these scenarios
nicky’s was actually the one who kicked this whole thing off for me; aerial silk is a very cool type of acrobratics - it’s basically yoga played on Extra mode and also in the air?? it’s all about stamina, flexibility and body strength. it looks super graceful but is also very challenging and it’s a fairly individual sport, which i think would suit nicky very well. i was honestly also inspired by the fact that the most aerial silk guys at my gym (i do pole fitness which has some overlap with the aerialists) have the same kind of figure as nicky: not bulky or cut, but still very strong with broad shoulders, lean arm muscles and strong legs. i don’t think he’d be interested in performances or competitions but he does occasionally invite joe to watch him practice when he has the studio for himself (the first time, joe nearly faints because his blood doesn’t know which direction to go and you know it doesn’t get any less heated from there wink wonk)
all that being said please don’t ask me about sports because i genuinely know next to nothing about most types of it - but i did have a lot of fun making these!

If Magical John's main color is yellow, then it's possible that he is a dandelion
The dandelions stems contain the milky white sap also known as 'dandelion milk' in some regions
So technically if you refer to Magical John's chest as milkies you won't be wrong in this essay I will-

So, after seeing this post about the trans bats dress with pockets, I went to the website and subsequently fell in love with @vaspider /@nerdykeppie's store. Last night I had insomnia and a teeny bit of extra money and ended up making my first purchase. Just LOOK at how cute this bi pride top is!!
Tumblr media
It's my first crop top I've bought and I'm hoping it will go well with my overalls.
Also, as a wildlife biologist, I LOVE the abundance of nature-based prints so I couldn't resist buying an animal skeleton face mask too.
Tumblr media
Wow ok this is starting to sound like a sponsored post but LISTEN this store and the people running it are great and I want more people to find it BUT the point of this post is that I'm super excited. I will 100% update in the reblogs of this post once I get the items. Based on reactions across Tumblr, I have no doubt I will love them.

Week 181, Day 1262.
Yesterday, I had one of my regular steering group progress meetings with my supervisors and project company sponsors. I always dread these meetings as they are really important and take a lot of hard work to prepare for. I was especially nervous about this meeting as I was showcasing a metric I developed to measure service reservoir performance. It was bizarre to summarise 3.5 years worth of work in a few slides! Fortunately, the meeting went really well and the metric was well received. I don’t really know why I’m surprised to be honest as I work with some really great, engaging, and supportive people, both in industry and academia!
Nevertheless, I am always exhausted and mentally drained for days after such meetings, and today is no different. I am always amazed at how mental exhaustion can manifest itself in such physical ways. For instance, I slept through 3 alarms and my cat meowing at me whilst sitting on my chest this morning, and I have insomnia! The difficulty is that unlike first, second, and even third PhD year, I don’t really have time to properly recover as my ‘to-do’ list is very much looking like an overfilled glass, about to overflow at any point. Hence I am writing this blog post at 22:15... 
Anyway, talking of glasses, I am going to quickly neck one filled with wine and call it a night!
Have a grand rest of the week!
