An acolyte kills the dream

shadowhiveThe past few week has been pretty annoying, I think I counted at least 6 things that went wrong all at once last week which ended up being so incredibly exhausting. And then just as I get better from the mental aspects of it I’ve felt sick. Ugh. I dunno if the sickness part is due to something I ate or new meds but…. Ugh.
I’m not gonna dwell on the bad stuff though, apart from one of the more minor ones. When we walked Naryu last week my glasses slipped off my head and one of the arms came off. So I spent a few days having to wear my Parx hat to keep them on.
It took until Monday for me to be able to head down to get them sorted, but they thankfully were able to quickly which was a relief.
Friday we had to go to town for the first of mum’s tests, which went fine and everything seemed ok. The market was on in town which I don’t get to see often so I got two blu rays and some pretty stones. Then we had to stop off to get compost on the way home, so I popped in game and got one of the other Lego animal crossing sets. The best part of it (even more than the figures) is the lil hermit crab which is so adorable!
A game I played the beta of, Multiversus, came out of beta this week. I didn’t realise until I saw Connor stream it so I decided to go back to it. I hadn’t thought too much of it during the beta, it’s basically a smash bros style game with a very random bunch of characters, but I feel it’s definitely better now. I’m enjoying the PVE rift things which are fun. Also it’s wild having Jason from Friday the 13th as a new character, as well as the banana guard from Adventure Time (especially so cause he’s the third character in it which feels strange!).
Saturday was new Doctor Who and today was The Acolyte (thoughts on both under the cut for spoilers).
First was Who with Dot And Bubble. I think the big risk of this episode was having the focus on someone other than the Doctor and Ruby (especially a strange choice given last week was Ruby focussed) which means the whole episode was in the hands of a guest character, Lindy.
I think it was a bold choice making the character so intentionally unlikeable. I thought her more negative traits would lessen through the episode, but of course if there was any doubt about her being a butch that was clear in the last minutes were she intentionally gets someone killed and then, l turns out to be such a racist she won’t accept the doctor’s offer of helping them off world.
So yay for the racist eating slug things! (Even though it felt odd that the dots needed to use them when they were capable of killings themselves)
But ahhh next week is Rogue and I’m excite to see what his deal is because he’s so hot.
Today was The Acolyte first eps which is so awesome. I sold itself as a mystery (as someone is killing Jedi) but the first two eps shows that the mystery is less about who is doing it and more about the why. I’m definitely curious what that could be, especially how the second of the two Jedi died.
Also I love the new little picket droid, and the new Jedi Yord is hot (a+ having him shirtless) and it all looks so awesome. I’m so excited to see where this goes.
(Sorry it’s not much thoughts but… food alas)
