shadowhiveThis gonna end up being a bit of a random post, because my thoughts have been all over the place lately (in a mostly good way for once) so I’m gonna try and keep this as coherent as possible.
First off I still mean to go through the comments on the prior pos with peoples thoughts on Interview. They just came at a bad time and I’ve not had the chance to properly go through them. I still haven’t gone back to watching the rest of the first episode, even though I want to. So maybe I will soon.
Something I did start watching was A Discovery Of Witches, which also has vampires in. The first ep was last week and I’m suitably curious to keep watching. One of the vampires is kinda cute and I have so many questions that’ll no doubt be answered in due time.
After the last post I made I ended up building the little pirate snubfighter I got (which was an interesting build, good use of space) while watching a thing on Sky Arts about Michelle Yeoh. It made me really want to ch3ck out more of her stuff, because she’s always good in whatever she’s in. I need to watch Everything Everywhere All At Once soon. Also because of it I looked to see if Sunshine was around and it’s up on Disney+ so I’m watching that again soon.
I big reason for my head being full is Twitchcon which was this weekend and I swear, every new thing I hear from it drives me crazy. It kinda feels sometimes like it’s a dozen fics bought to life with how crazy it all is. I’m planning on doing a separate post being unhinged about it with pictures, maybe tomorrow but I’ll see how I feel.
Before twitchcon Name Your Price started I decided to order McDonald’s to use a code, hoping it would arrive better than the last time. It didn’t though. The tracking didn’t show up and it arrived well over an hour late and it was just an utter disaster and was cold and ugh. I wasn’t gonna use it again but they sent a notification with a £1 happy meal, which I did in daytime Monday, which at least came on time but it was the same squishmallow I got Saturday night so… I’m gonna eBay them.
On Monday mail came, so I have sweets fromfadefur and the Set It Off Halloween merch (and anime tee). It’s my first merch of them and it looks so nice! I haven’t had chance to put it yet, but I’m hoping to for Halloween.
Mum did call up about the genetic testing thing and we have an appointment, but it’s not until March which is…
On Monday night I resumed my Who ray run with Terminus, which ended up being split between Monday and last night. It’s an episode that starts off strong, with the Tardis being forced to land on a ship and then them investigating it and the mysterious goings on there. Some of the concepts to that are good, and I think could have worked but I think it definitely suffers because it’s not a standalone ep. It kinda feels like it might have started as its own thing and got added to the black guardian trilogy (I’m curious if I’m right when I read the booklet and watch the special features) so there’s that added to it which feels a bit… out of place?
But I think the biggest problem is that this is Nyssa’s last story…and yet she spends a large part of it alone from the others and sick. It kinda feels like a disservice to her and I wish she’d got a better story to leave on, especially because she’s leaving seems so sudden as well.
Speaking of Doctor Who stuff there’s a new audio coming out with Luke from Sarah Jane Adventures, which is awesome cause he was my fav! And then last night they also announced that the new Who eps are coming in one month, for three weeks starting November 25th.
Tuesday started badly because my head and stomach felt woozy, but thankfully they eased up over the day, that meant I was finally able to watch the new VHS, VHS 85 that night! I really enjoyed it! There were 3 segments that were so strong that I’m not sure which of them is my fav one between them. And I loved the end song referenced all the segments. Maybe I’ll have to watch some of the older ones.
I had hoped to watch more spooky stuff this month (and do games and such) but I just haven’t watched or games as much as I’d hoped which is a shame. I might just put playing spooky games back to November. (Especially since I have the passes for Fortnite, Fall Guys and Dreamlight valley to finish)
And also speaking of spooky stuff I am hoping to watch Five Nights At Freddie’s but I’m not sure when. I was going to watch in the local cinema, but the showings are only at 7:30pm which is a pain. If the weather was ok I wouldn’t mind walking back (which I’d have to do) but the weather has been ropey. I’m not keen about going further either. Walsall, where I saw Saw X was too expensive. Birmingham is better but again, it’s getting there. (And the fact that I heard a flood knocked out one of the stations on the way makes me worry it could happen again) So I dunno
Yesterday was meant to be Naryu getting her hair cut, but mum decided to cancel (which is annoying after all the trouble). The reason was that Naryu’s tablets are making her pee more and she’d be worried she’d do it while being groomed. I just wish she’d put it back when we talked about it last week instead of causing extra stress for us both.
One thing I have ended up doing, which has thrown me off a little, has been working on kinktober stuff. When I first put up the prompt list I didn’t expect to do many of them. I thought it’d end up being a long drawn out thing and I didn’t expect to get many done for actual kinktober month. However I’ve ended up finishing 7 already and I have six more as wips (three which should be short, so I’m gonna try and get them done before the end of the month, and three which are longer). I also think that there’ll be more than that too, so it’s looking likely I’ll have most of it done. I’m also surprised there’s no bandom related ideas and none of the ones so far have Maxx, but I suspect that might change with the new song
I do think that once those 6 wips are done I’ll pivot back to other stuff as well (I wanna finish the two Seapeekay fics I had at least) but we’ll see.
I do want get back to posting stuff on ao3 so I’m gonna do that soon. I’ve meant to the past weeks, but I’ve yet to do so. So I wanna get a few up before the end of the week.
Slam dunk got a line up announcement last night and why am I considering going? There’s Waterparks, Funeral For A Friend and Set It Off all there, but it’s not as if it’s close. It’s at Leeds and Hatfield park and I have no idea where these places are (has anyone heard of them). Because of this weekend I do wanna see Parx again (which is something I’d not have thought last week) and I’m even considering going to that horrible venue to do so.
Today I woke feeling woozy and that’s not been helped by drilling outside being annoying and rattling my brain.(I also think going to home bargains yesterday wore me out) so I’m hoping that passes and I’m gonna just rest a bit today.
Anyway! There ends all the rambling for now. Stay tuned for the twitchcon one at some point soon.
