I've got an appointment for a health check tomorrow with a nurse, so that should be helpful? I hope?
It was funny, because I was going to ask if there was anything like that available*, and then I randomly got a text last week about it. So that was a nice coincidence.

In other news, I am stuck on the final boss of Deltarune chapter two, because my reactions are not quick enough/I panic in boss fights. I'm sure I'll get it eventually, but it's annoying me right now. So much so I didn't actually play any Deltarune yesterday, I just sat and watched a three hour theory video instead.
I also watched a video called What The Internet Did to Undertale. Which is about the effect the game had on release, and how that reflected back into the fandom, and how it likely affected Toby. And I found it really interesting! (Though it contains spoilers for the game, so don't watch it if you haven't played it).
What I especially found interesting was the portion that touches on how many alternate universes of the game fans made. And I mean barely touches, because there are so, so many of them. And I think it's amazing.
I mean, I love AUs. I realised yesterday, after watching that video, that most of the fic I ever wrote for every single fandom I've ever been in where I wrote were AUs. I even started thinking about, though never wrote/published, AU of AU fic for at least two fandoms. Because why not, I guess!
And then I wondered at what point an AU of an AU of an AU (etc, etc) becomes an original work and then my brain melted. Although it did have me thinking about the one AU AU that I could totally make into an original story if I chose to because it doesn't require much shuffling to make it original (whether I'd want to do that is another story (ha ha) entirely).
I don't know where I was really going with this, except that it proves I've always liked AUs/bending canon. (I was going to mention in the previous post that I also like Groundhog Day loops, and messing with scenarios in that, but I'd already gone off-topic as it was anyway. But this feels like a good place to mention it. Additional fact: I tried watching Groundhog Day when I was kid, but got bored (!!), so never finished watching it. I've never thought to try watching since because I am a fool).
I just find them a very interesting concept, I guess, and that video just got me thinking.

*The last time I had one was a good fifteen years ago, I'd estimate, and things have (obviously) changed since then.
