Neon (fandom)<p><span>I am back to do the last DecRec post! I know I skipped a lot of days but it's okay... <br><br>Today's DecRec is a bunch of Loveless fic I ended up reading these two days. <br><br>Title: Drawing Straight Lines <br><br>Author's summary: Premanga. Spoilers. Soubi, Seimei. If art is a reflection of life, then life might be a reflection of rules.<br><br>Why read it: Lots of art metaphors. It's very beautiful (but also, it's Seimei, so uh, using a tag I saw on Loveless AO3, "Seimei is his own warning"). This is Soubi-centric.<br><br>Length: 4,485 words<br><br>Link: </span><a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/41864" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://archiveofourown.org/works/41864</a><span><br><br></span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/DecRecs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DecRecs</a></p>
micah 💫<p>Day 31 - <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/DecRecs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DecRecs</span></a></p><p>My final rec is for one of my new favorite tv shows, Abbott Elementary! It's a mockumentary style sitcom that follows the lives of teachers at Abbott Elementary, an underfunded Black public school in Philadelphia. Particularly focusing on Janine Teages (played by Quinta Brunson!) who teaches second grade and the other teachers she gets to know.</p><p>I've been a fan of Quinta since she was working at Buzzfeed, so I was really excited when I learned about this show! And one of the other actors played in Everybody Hates Chris which I also like.</p><p>The show is really funny and even the annoying characters are likeable or at least understandable. And there's a slow burn slowburn romance that's finally started to pay off in the fourth season! :annoyingdog: </p><p>The show airs on ABC in the US and is on Hulu, Max, and probably other sites too</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/l4lP8roLz3I" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/l4lP8roLz3I</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/AbbottElementary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbbottElementary</span></a></p>

Asakiyume<p>Let me share this fabulous version of "Stairway to Heaven" as a last contribution to <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/DecRecs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DecRecs</span></a> </p><p>Stairway to Heaven--done with/accompanied with gakaku instruments (Japanese classical court music instruments)--and all performed by one guy in Heian court dress. NICE. Also, some of the backing images show a stairway to something very Ise Jingu-esque. </p><p>ROCK ON, Heian courtiers, ROCK ON.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnxI0mgAqgY" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=RnxI0mgAqg</span><span class="invisible">Y</span></a></p>

Forestofglory<p>It's been a very busy day and I haven't actually had time to sit down at my computer.

holo new-ra<p><a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/DecRecs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DecRecs</span></a> day 27: today i am reccing a silly and fun little game called WEBFISHING. it’s very simple: you are a little animal with a fishing pole and you catch fish at an idyllic campground. you can play it singleplayer but it’s more fun with friends! </p><p><a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3146520/WEBFISHING/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">store.steampowered.com/app/314</span><span class="invisible">6520/WEBFISHING/</span></a></p>
Forestofglory<p>I couldn't let a reccing event go by with out yelling about The King’s Road: Diplomacy and the Remaking of the Silk Road by Xin Wen so that's today's <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/DecRecs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DecRecs</span></a> </p><p>I love this book so much! It's about the nitty-gritty of diplomatic travel in Central Asia between 850-1000 CE, and it centers the city of Dunhuang, which was during this period sometimes part of various imperial states in the region but mostly an independent city state. I love that it decenters China!</p><p>(1/?)</p>
Soph (they/them)<p>today I want to <a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/DecRecs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DecRecs</span></a> the app TypeWise, which takes the revolutionary approach that a keyboard design that was initially created for two hands on a physical machine isn't ideal for a screen</p><p>It takes getting used to! But after a surprisingly brief period of adjustment, I am much faster and less prone to typos than with a standard keyboard design</p><p>the app uses tiled hexagons for all the keys, so keys have a larger surface area to aim for while fitting nicely together. you can use gestures right over whatever part of the keyboard you're already on, to add a space or to delete something - so you don't have to jump to specific keys located on an edge of the keyboard to take those common actions</p><p>caveats: its emoji picker doesn't have a search function so you have to scroll to find the emoji you want; autocorrect (a paid feature) is over-enthusiastic; the company is all-in in favour of AI writing</p><p>but overall: cannot imagine going back to a standard keyboard after using this one!</p>
micah 💫<p>Day 26 - <a href="https://blorbo.social/tags/DecRecs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DecRecs</span></a></p><p>Reccing one of my favorite rhythm games, Project Diva Megamix+! It's like the quintessential rhythm game for me at this point. The charts are satisfying to play, there's lots of classic vocaloid songs, and sincs it's on PC now, there's song and costume pack mods and lots of other customization options. There's 5 different difficulty modes from Easy to Extra Extreme so anyone can play regardless of skill level!</p><p>I highly recommend buying the extra song pack for even more to play!
