Again no fic done in September. I’m so irritated that the spark seems to be gone but at least this time it can be tired to the back thing and the nonsense with that stressing me out and exhausting me.
I probably would have finished Steamworld Heist 2 (I certainly intended to) if I’d not got Ubisoft+ so I could go on Outlaws. I do hope to finish it this month though cause it is reallly fun. (Though Outlaws is a time sink but more on that later).
As to everything else, the Deep Space Nine eps are so random cause they’re ones I missed on the tv run.i really wanna get back to Prodigy but my focus has been all over the place. I hope to get back to American Horror Story soon though, as well as the Ju-On boxset run.
I see myself reading graphic novels again this month(I wanna read Crimson Reign but might wanna see if I can find the prelude stuff first. If not, then I have the Dead By Dead one to read.
Another month not watching anything on shudder.if things had been different I would’ve watched that new horro 101 but alas. Hopefully soon.

After days of calls we finally have a date for the rescheduled appointment. It’s in almost two weeks. On a Sunday. At 8:30am. Which is fucking ridiculous for a time and if they cancel again I’m gonna snap, cause this thing is just so… ugh.
Things have calmed again with mum. Which is good but ugh it was so exhausting. I had debated going today for the signing but I don’t think I’d have had the energy for it (or been in the mindset to be around that many people). It’s annoying, but at least it was only Palaye and not Parx or Set It Off or anyone.
That meant, since I was here, I was roped into going to the library cause mum wasn’t feeling great. I did end up reading Rogue some more though so it wasn’t a waste. I love the concept of the Doctor playing DND with Vastra, Jenny and Strax (Strax was a bard and sang!) and that Can’t Get You Out Of My Head is mentioned as a future earth anthem which I love.
Since I didn’t go out today it meant I need to figure a way to see Alien Romulus. Alas there’s only a few days left before it both leaves the local cinema and is only late nights in Birmingham. So I can either go to the local cinema (but, because it’s showing at 7:15pm it means I have to walk home in the dark). Or do a trip to Birmingham to see it in daylight, so in other words do what I would have done today minus the signing part (advantage to that, they might have signed cds still so…). But I dunno which is the best way to go. I’ll have a ponder and see how I feel.
Another recent annoyance is the digibox remote has stopped working which is a pain. It’s meant I’ve switched to the tv fully which is gonna take some getting used to (I’ll miss being able to pause things) but I feel the box might be too old to get a replacement remote. Maybe I’ll see if talktalk can sort something but I doubt it.
Midna has been very snuggly lately which is nice. She let me carry her up to bed the other night and she stayed snuggled up to me all night. She was even there when I woke up, curled up under the covers and very cute. She seems to have taken to my bed for some reason too cause now she’s curled under the blankets instead of being around down here.
I have started the Lego Deku tree. I’m so glad that Link’s house and the master sword pedestal are separate builds so you always have them. Also Hestu too! He’s so cute and his maracas even have seeds in them! I love that the instruction booklet has info on some of the things, identifying mushrooms and the items in Link’s crate (I love the hook shot especially. I’ve finally done the base of the tree itself, though the base has been annoyingly fragile at times. Today I got to the point where you choose which tree to do and I’m gonna do the BOTW one cause it’s prettier. The OOT tree does look nice though, though I don’t see myself switching it up to make it (or getting a second tree to do so… well unless I win the lottery).
Other thing I’ve been doing is, obviously, Outlaws. I have to say that it’s good, really good. It’s a lot of fun and I’ve found myself sinking a lot of time into it already. Obviously my fav character thus far is Nix, Whois so adorable (and you can eat with him!) but I love Kay too, especially how out of her depth she is and how new to everything she is. It’s took me 13 hours but I finally got off the first main moon (Toshara, a new place which has been so cool) and I loved you had to explore a high republic wreck. And ahhh! The hot droid! I dunno which ND-5 is hot but he is and I’m glad he’s shown up. First planet I’ve visited (cause he suggested it and I’m weak) is Kajimi and I feel it’s gonna give me feels for this world that the first order destroys pointlessly.
It does make me wanna watch Solo again too, so I might watch that soon.
Other good things, As It Is are back yay! Weathers have a new song tomorrow! Slam Dunk has announcements tomorrow too. There’s a new Smile 2 and VHS beyond trailers, both which look good too.
But oop this post has become rambly.
Plan for this week
*Look into uni stuff
*Get back to Ju-On run
*Read Rogue some more
*Build Lego Deku tree more
*Start VHS run/watch American Horror Story some more
*More Outlaws
*finish fic (most likely the birthday one)
