Yesterday ended up being the stint at the library in the morning which ended up being kinda productive on two fronts. First, I was able to talk down mum about Adam. She managed to listen to reason (that access tothe presale wasn’t a guarantee, that the prices would be too much and, most importantly, Ididnt want to be in London at night alone).

Second I was able to read, finishing Nightmare Yearnings and reading some of the Who magazine (which made me curious about Blake’s 7 again, anyone seen it?). Nightmare was an anthology so it was the last four stories which were pretty good. Albeit some were like others in that it felt like they could have been longer.

The Fortnite season is ending next week which I thought was ending later in the month. So now I’m gonna be speeding finishing the bonus battle pass. Thankfully there’s a bunch of last minute quests to do so I’m gonna try and do them.

I did the little Lego birds nest that I got from Birmingham and it’s so cute! There’s a cute bird and some little hatchlings. It reminded me I meant to look for Lego explorers Sunday and forgot so I might have to go try and grab it next week.

Last night Squidcraft started which was an odd time at 6 (so I had to miss an hour of it for Voyager) and I watched foolish’s stream when I was watching, thankfully everyone I knew survived the first day so let’s see if they last till the end

I did watch a Simpsons ep last night, I watched Thanksgiving of Terror, in part cause the title gives treehouse of horror vibes in part cause I like the anthology eps. Unfortunately this one was a bit… eh. Mostly cause the first one was so horrific (and makes me glad I don’t eat meat cause those poor turkeys. The other segments were better but I think that first one was just so…

It probably didn’t help that I had a general Bad Feeling again which was just…. Ugh.is it because of the constant bombardment of bad news in the world or just anxiety being bad again? Or maybe it’s just tiredness or the result of the headache and stuff.

This morning not long after I came down (the Zelda tees I ordered from qwertee had came earlier than I expected too) there was a call and… ugh. Now they wanna do calls every 3 months about ESA and ugh. I hate calls (I hate going in more) and I just don’t see why they’re so necessary because they left me alone for so long. It’s just a new annoyance and I know it’s gonna be a source of anxiety. It seemed like she might be nice but… I dunno. I don’t trust the people there honestly.

After walking the pup there was The Mandalorian first ep of season 3 (thoughts under the cut)

I have mixed feelings on it. It’s obviously a set up for the season, with two threads. Going back to Mandalore and those pirates. I suspect the pirates will be a threat over the season and it wouldn’t surprise me if they kill Greef or destroy his city. (Especially this they have that huge ship)

It was cute to see Grogu being adorable again. Him seeing purgill in hyperspace kinda felt like foreshadowing somehow too.

Greef’s spattitude about the new republic may be why the republic ends up being so small by the first order time and I could see it being a view of many worlds, especially after all the shot the empire pulled.

The main thread is the return to Mandalore which… I kinda don’t want. As cool as it would be to see Mandalore again I honestly don’t want to at this point. I’m kinda tired of seeing/hearing about prequel/clone wars era worlds being fucked. (And Mandalore seems to have gotten…. Truly fucked)

There’s also the reason for him going. He’s not going to reclaim the planet or unite the mandalorians… he’s doing it to… bath in the waters of the mine. And why? To get back in with the Armourers group of Mandalorians. A group that discarded him (and didn’t seem grateful for him saving their lives) just because he removed his helmet. I don’t know why he’d want to go back with them especially because they seem cult like and their loyalty can be lost for nothing.

And speaking of loyalty Bo Katan’s Mandalorians have deserted her too. Is loyalty a problem for Mandalorians? It’s what led to the downfall of Satine’s governemnt in the Clone Wars and now it’s clearly an issue with these two groups.

Why would you even want to be a Mandalorian at this point? (Cool armour aside)

(I kinda get wanting to be back with people that have abandoned you but at the same time the Mandalorian has Grogu and it’s clear these people can’t be trusted with his safety. He should just take up Greef’s offer instead)

Tonight I’m hoping to get back to The Quarry, though again it depends on how I feel or if I get drained.
