let us be perfectly calm

The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery. Woman is given one year to live and proceeds to make choices that horrify her stuffy society family! This was fun and cleverly written and I feel a strong need to write a Star Wars fic inspired by it which is maybe mildly insane of me--the vibes are very different--but also is just life in fandom. Will see if the muse holds.

Speaking of Star Wars, I watched Skeleton Crew and it was very cute! I feel like I heard almost nothing about it and I wasn't going to watch it but I'm glad I decided to. Space kids accidentally going off on space pirate adventures! I'd be interested to see a season 2 because they left several things half open but the season also worked as a good stand-alone.

Aww, The Blue Castle! My sister wrote fic for that one Yuletide long past, I'm very fond of it.

I have also weirdly heard nothing about Skeleton Crew, so I'm very glad to get a personal recommendation for it - it looks cute, I have no expectations for it except 'fun, hopefully' and it sounds like it does that ;)
