shadowhiveThe past few days have been varying degrees of off. I’m not sure how much if usual post gig tiredness or due to the anxiety of this gig or if I’m coming down it’s something. I sense the anxiety is the main thing but who knows.
Yesterday ended up being the worst (though I did go so drained Monday) because I spent all morning with my headspace bouncing around from one extreme to another. I’d feel a sudden wave of sad, then frustration, then blehness, then ok. Doing icons seemed to serve as a distraction for a bit but I was feeling off the whole day.
(My head’s also been hurting at where I bumped it awhile ago while is a bit….)
Other than that on Monday we did a trip down to pick up the Dungeons And Dragons magazine thing. I’ve not looked at it yet, but the dice (black with red numbers) look really nice, especially with the tin. Of course them being black (and the dark clouds from bad weather) means it’s hard to get good pics of them. I might see if I can get the second issue too cause the dice in that look nice too (green with gold numbers).
Monday night, after watching a Poirot, I put on Saw VII. And damn, I’m so glad it’s not turned out to be the last film because (short of a few good scenes) it’s mostly disappointing. It’s largely due to happy they completely assassinate Hoffman’s characterisation and his actions seem baffling compared to Saw VI. It’s such a ashamed he was screwed over in such a way,
I ordered Spiral and Jigsaw though, so I’ll be watching those soon (Spiral arrived yesterday, Jigsaw should arrive today).
Eret and Seapeekay both got announced for the PiratesSMP on Monday, so I’m gonna watch their intro tonight. I wish I’d watched more of it beforehand (I only saw Tubbo’s first stream on it). So I’m really curious to see how they interact and what’ll happen. Apparently the thought of them captured my mind enough to give me an image for a thing with them so I just wrote the opening scene for it yesterday (it’s gonna be it’s own thing but should be a one shot).
That’s pretty much the only thing I’ve wrote though, I hoped to get back to the other Seapeekay fic I started, but I couldn’t seem to find words. I hope some come when I next look at it. (It might be because my brain’s unsure on the masks for it but I dunno)
And speaking of him he started his Subathon. I’m gonna be dipping in and out of it (I’ll sub during the next happy hour cause I missed the first) but I really hope he meets the subgoals especially the horror game night (i suspect he’s met the goal already) and the twitchcon streams.
One good thing yesterday was that we had an Amazon delivery! Mum got her Ninja (I can’t remember if I mentioned here but it’s been a source of much annoyance and back and forth for the past week) and they also bought Spiral and the new Doctor Who boxset.
That meant I put the first disc of it in last night to watch it. The first ep was Arc Of Infinity which I thought was pretty good. Bringing back Omega was a good idea (even though it may have locked people out at the time), and I like the effect of his transmissions. By the end I actually felt sorry for him (even though he was a bit creepy looking like the doctor).
It was nice that the ep gave Nyssa stuff to do, though she seemed a bit more trigger happy than usual. Apparently Leela had meant to return, but when Louise Jameson was unavailable it seems some stuff intended for her went to Nyssa instead. (It’s a shame because Leela being back would’ve been awesome!) I do have to wonder how planned Tegan’s return was because, as good as it is to see her again it feels a tad contrived.
And yeah it’s so strange seeing Maxil (played by the Sixth doctor) and him carrying his helmet everywhere. And of course the time lords are a bit hopeless, but it’s always good seeing those outfits. But yeah I’m so glad we finally have a fifth doctor boxset and I’m looking forward to seeing the special features and other els,
Last night I couldn’t settle too much, my stomach had been feeling a bit woozy throughout the day and it took awhile to settle despite feeling so tired.
I woke this morning really early to heavy rain outside. It took awhile to settle back and I’ve felt so drained again since which is sucky. Bleh. I hope the feeling goes away.
I did manage to watch Ahsoka.
I’m not sure what to think of the ep. It at least explains why Morgan was so sure that she’d find Thrawn where they were going, due to Nightsisters sending her visions (and I knew I recognised Claudia Black’s voice!). And I’m glad Sabine found Ezra and those cute lil aliens. (And Huyang starting a story with ‘A long time ago in a galaxy far far away’ in the opening)
But ughh I just can’t get excited by Thrawn showing up. I’ve never been a fan of him and I can tell this isn’t going to change my mind. I’d kinda hoped that he was a red herring and they would’ve arrived there and found no trace of him and something else instead. But eh, we’re stuck with him now and he’s already going to backstab people. Ugh.
I might bundle up a bit and then see how my head is to do anything.

Date: 2023-09-23 05:57 pm (UTC)I'm not that fond of Arc of Infinity. It's not a bad story but it does drag a bit and it never felt like they really knew what to do with the Amsterdam setting. It's a pity Louise couldn't take part, it would have loved seeing Leela again. I can't remember if Tegan's return were planned but it always amuses me how put out the Doctor seems when he hears it :-)
It's been ages since I saw the making-of but I seem to remember the reason Colin had to carry the helmet around was the doors were too low for it. I sometimes entertain myself with imagining that the reason Maxil looks so much like the Sixth Doctor is because he actually IS the Sixth Doctor. He disliked his predecessor so much he decided to go back in time and make trouble for him.

Date: 2023-09-23 06:23 pm (UTC)Yeah I agree with that, from the making of Amsterdam was just kinda thrown in by JNT so they had to work it in (same with Tegan returning!) but yeah that is a shame, i really wish we’d got to see Leela at some point
Yeah exactly! Its so funny! And yeah he commented how he only got the role of six by shooting five here. That would make sense though hee!
