shadowhiveSo dreamersdare is doing an august posting thing so I’m gonna try it too. It’s probably not gonna be the same sorta stuff (certainly today’s is more of a random stream of conscious kinda deal). But first a general update.
I feel the past few days have been draining. The heat has returned so it’s made it hard to focus which is so incredibly annoying. I’ve also had trouble settling to sleep which is… ugh.
It also feels I’ve had bad luck with a few things. A few of the in-line games I use have been disconnecting a lot. My tumblr is gone (and I’m not getting any answers as to why despite sending support messages). It really sucks cause I had so many memories there and was finally getting back to using it again. Ugh, hopefully they sort it.
I started a technic mini set, lost a cog for it, got stabbed maybe something while rooting for it (after losing it again) and then lost half of the build. Which is more of annoyance than the rest but I’ve had to wear a plaster since then.
Bleh.
But anyway, onto fandom things instead.

I picked up some things from the summer sale. I did an order with arrow video, which was gonna be just ju on in the sale but I added a few other things cause you could get a few gift when you spent so much. Those things are on their way (while ju on is on back order) and I also ordered the J Rising boxset (mpwhich might be a belated birthday present) and Trick R Treat.
The things that are coming from that are Audition and Lifeforce (both of which I’ve seen but not for a long long time), something called Hiruko The Goblin (never seen but sounds interesting) and The Sacred Spirit (which was the freebie which also sounds interesting).
From the Bethesda sale I eventually decided to get the Ebonheart pact dice set (yeha I have a problem) but also a tee and a hat.
I also had to use my game points before the reward card ended. I was gonna get vbucks, but they had to be delivered so I just got Xbox credit instead. (Cause the saving wouldn’t even cover the shipping.) I thought I might use it on the Xbox summer sale (I’d a few things in the basket to consider) but I decided none of them interested me enough.
Sunday I ended up watching The Turning because it was on tv and I was curious about. For the most part it was creepy in an unsettling way. And Finn Wolfhard was the standout part in it. Unfortunately the final scene of the whole film was very… unsatisfying because of how unclear it was?
Speaking of watching stuff Futurama was back on Monday and it was so good to see it back. I really liked the Aztec themed robots and I hope we see more of them at some point.
Gaming wise I finished the MCC event stuff and have the cape (yipee) though I’m a bit sad it’ll be over soon cause I like Seapeekay’s npc. (Speaking of him he’s also gonna be in a film! So I’m super curious what he’s gonna be in it cause he says it’s a speaking role and that it’s gonna be shown at Cannes which is wild).
Bloomburrow is also live in Magic arena, which looks so cute with all the animals! I feel I’m gonna end up making a bat deck soon.
Star Wars Hunters first season wrapped up and the season 2 Hunter is an imperial droid (like K-2SO) and the whole pass is empire themed which… eh. I’m not an empire boy so it’s a bit blah, though there are a few nice outfits (the death trooper, sunset and carmine outfits). Plus one of the other characters has a Zam Wesell themed outfit for in game currency so I’ll definitely pick that up.
Speaking of Star Wars we finally have a date for Skeleton Crew, the next Star Wars series. It sounds really fun from the description and I like that it sounds like it’s gonna be something different. I think it’s really sweet how the director said Jude Law (who is the main character) was with the child actors he’s working with. I am a bit worried the toxic parts of the fanbase will harass them but I hope I’m wrong (but then people suck).
I had a feeling I was gonna say something else but my brain is just… empty.

Date: 2024-08-02 03:46 pm (UTC)i feel you on the heat and being drained :c i hope it lets up and you have more energy/better sleep soon.
wtf happened to ur tumblr, did they ban you??? that's so weird i don't think you've ever even broken any rules... i hope u can get it restored bc that's fucked up.
i'm so glad you enjoyed the turning!!! yeah the ending sucks like i love a good open ending but u gotta explain SOME things or it just feels incomplete and weird. if she was hallucinating or smn fine ig but maybe a small hint perhaps??? or if the kids are ghosts then.....????? i dunno. but anyways, miles is worth it all ♥
i really wanna know what type of movie cpk is in and what kind of character he's playing. actor cpk was not on my 2024 bingo card but it's a very pleasant surprise tbh.

Date: 2024-08-02 06:45 pm (UTC)I hope so too! Wednesday I was unable to sleep and then last night I just went zz so easily so I dunno
I’ve no idea! At first I thought it was tumblrs server being down but apparently a lot of people lost their accounts😭I’ve no idea what caused it cause it’s not as if I used it much. It might’ve been a side blog I just started but I dunno😭 hopefully I hear back soon but I dunno
Yeah I really did! Miles had such an energy! But yeah that ending was so strange cause I’m really not sure what they were going for? (I did wonder if the girl was a ghost cause of the insistence of her not leaving but I dunno🤔) yeah it being a hallucination/all in her head wouldn’t make much sense to me (If only because of the opening, where we see it happen to the previous governess). I think a hallucination would only work if it was like, something in the house causing it?
Me too I’m so curious about it! The only other thing he said was it was originally meant to be out now but one of the actors that was meant to be in it went missing🤔 But yeah I’m super curious 🤔 (if it is gonna be at Cannes that’s not till May so we’ve gotta wait awhile😭)
