Checkpoints

I think that once global War of the Visions shuts down at the end of the month, I won't have to keep printing the staple of my last few years - my login checksheet. These have also doubled as chore sheets, etc. but at their heart they're just me keeping track of games. And of the games I'll have left, three are in maintenance mode, one is private server, one is Granblue, two are ancient but alive, and one is Eternal. Like, I can clatter through those okay and if I miss any of them it's not a huge deal. (And I can trust myself not to forget Eternal.)
But I am a list-maker anyway, so I might just repurpose the checksheets in general? It's amazing how much stuff I'll forget if I don't have a basic list with me. I get distracted very, very easily.
Wrote something for
femgiftboxes and might try for a couple other things since there's been another delay. There are five empty boxes right now, including mine. It's not incredibly clear, whoops, but I'm good with icons for all my requests...
I wrote a few bits of short fiction on Fedi earlier in the week, too. Slowly shaking the marbles loose.
Started watching the Busou Shinki anime, which I must've bought because 'Busou Shinki' sounded familiar at the time. And looking them up, yes! I remember being oddly charmed by them back when they first came out and rather wanted one but never got one. They are of course long-discontinued aside from some expensive collaboration girlpla kits, but there are also a few on Suruga-ya. I'm not attached to any one character, just the general idea, so I'll probably pick whoever is affordable to snag at some point. (The anime is cute enough so far, too.)
Finished up McGillis's Schwalbe Graze; pictures later when it's not the greyest day. Started on the SD Heroes Strike Freedom. It's an SD kit so it's not super-complicated but already I've run into sticker-hell and am just going to paint a couple of bits. ^^;; I apparently don't own a plain black thick Gundam marker, so paint it is. (Weird!) Flauros will be next after, and then the white Alto + wings. Then Plutone, since I had the absolute luck to snag one. So here is a poll for, like, no sooner than June. As always, voting based on quick searches is encouraged and appreciated. (I'd link more but the Gundam Wiki is unfortunately kind of a mess. I suppose I could do store links? Hmm.)
*non-custom
**this may be partly built or questionable; I have a couple of UC MGs I got very cheap because someone had started and not finished at least one of them
***also non-custom

Oh no, I bought too much gunpla! Which kit should I build next?
