shadowhiveSpooky season catch up
Day 11: fortnitemares, nine bodies in a Mexican morgue, eso, embrace the darkness part 2
Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue due the same thing that Hell Motel did, include a flashback to a character at the start of this week. So, naturally I assumed he’d be doomed. Then the title came up as his name and I knew it was so over for him. Which sucks cause he was one of my favs.
A ‘good’ thing about my glassses fucking up is I had to get back to Embrace The Darkness.
Day 12: fortnitemares, Wednesday - if these woes could talk, shoto spooky stream, some bad spooky stream - poppy playtime
Shoto and Badboyhalo did spooky streams though again, my focus was off cause of exhaustion.
I did manage to watch Wednesday which I wasn’t sure I’d be able to do but I did use my older glasses. It was the last of the first set of eps which feels like a good place to share thoughts.
Under a cut for spoilers.
The season so far has been pretty good as a whole. I’ve liked Pugsley being in it more (and his relationship with Eugene), plus I’ve obviously loved seeing Tyler all chained up and like season 1 I have enjoyed the mystery going along with it. I hope we get to see more of Billie Piper’s Capri in the second half of the season too. And Thing is awesome.
There’s also some things I don’t like or really vibe with. While I understand Wednesday wanting to keep Enid at arms length due to her vision it also means they haven’t hung out all that much which is a shame. I really don’t like Agnes. The new principle is so unlikeable too, which I know is intentional and hopefully something bad happens to him before the season ends.
One of the main points of contention is Catherine Zeta Jones’ Morticia. I buy her as being Wednesday’s mother, being concerned for her and wanting to protect her from her powers but at the same time I don’t buy her as being Morticia if that makes sense. And that’s the same for Gomez’s actor too.
I am curious where things will go in the second half, as it feels one of the central mysteries (who is the avian) is solved and with Willow Hill’s residents getting loose that’s a location that won’t come back. I guess the next ep is about Tyler on the loose from the title and there’s still the mystery of the woman Wednesday released and what her vision means. I guess we’ll see.
Day 13: embrace the darkness part 3+4, ESO
I managed to do a quest on ESO, I had hoped to finished the Apocrypha quests before the new event happened but tiredness and glasses screwed that up. But yay for spooky creatures,
Also finished Embrace the darkness which was pretty good. I had a feeling there’d be a reveal of the ‘bad’ aliens actually being good so I’m glad I was right. Can’t help but be puzzled about all the tardises flying past in the first ep.

And now onto yesterday. Before we went the mail came and one of the this were the comics I had on preorder so now I have the following to read:
*Exquisite Corpses 4+5 (I still need to read 2+3 oop)
*Event Horizon Dark Descent 1+2
*The Umbrella Academy Plan B 2+3
When will I read them? Who knows cause up yesterday I got too drained and it feels the rest of the week is a bunch of stuff (more on that later).
At the opticians they, predictably, said the glasses weren’t fixable by them. I asked if I was due an appointment since it’s been awhile (and my eyes have felt worse) and apparently I’m overdue. Usually they send a letter when it’s time but have I had one? Nope. Sigh. I’m booked in Saturday so there’s that, but that means no new glasses for at least another week.
I am wondering if the new glasses will mean I can have better focus and everything but I guess we’ll see
When I got back I tried to use the superglue to repair the break only I fucked up and got the glue over one of the lenses so now there’s a smear over them. I looked up how to get it off lenses and tried everything I could find but no luck ugh. I’m gonna just wear them for today and see if the eye compensates.
The plans for the rest of the week are kinda dependant on that (plus energy, plus weather). I do have the old glasses which are a workable temporary solution but…
The intent of the week is this:
Wednesday - cinema trip: Tron Ares (and maybe Night Of The Zoopocalypse)
Thursday - Pokémon ZA release (which thankfully is the one thing not glasses dependant)
Friday - Coheed gig (once I get ticket)
Saturday - Opticians, maybe a cinema trip
Sunday - Horror market, dnd
Tomorrow’s cinema trip depends on how I feel with glasses as well as weather, which feels like it could go either way. It also depends on working out when to go for the best, which is dependant on if I see Zoopocalypse first (a 10am showing) or second (a 3:50 showing). The cinema also has a Tron Ares cup thing with the light cycle which is pretty cool so I might see about that.
Coheed depends on how I feel about must sight, I was gonna get the ticket when my money went in but causa the glasses fucking up… I have got a setlist from the EU dates so I have been listening to that. It has got 2 of my 3 fav songs on from the new album which is good so it would be nice to go. (Oddly there’s none from one of the other albums of theirs I really liked)
I had hoped to see Black Phone 2 before the gig but alas all the cinema times are just before or during it, even with new times. I had took a morning optician appointment in case they added an early afternoon showing Saturday but alas nope. I’m not sure I have it in me watch three films in one day for it (since the earliest showing is 5:20 which feels too late for me on a post gig day plus I’d like to see strictly), so I’m looking into going Tuesday or Wednesday depending.
(And speaking of Strictly I can’t believe they had a Sunday dance based on the Minecraft movie, that was insane)
There’s a horror film market Sunday thats walking distance away so it’s weather dependant. There was one earlier in the year just after I saw Sinners but it was too crazy then to see but I saw on the website that there was one now.
Then in the night there’s MCC but also ITV is showing Star Trek Strange New Worlds so I might check that out since I’ve never seen it.
Anyway now it’s to wait on the food shop and then ??

Date: 2025-10-14 06:36 pm (UTC)I hope so too! Yeah I’ve not read any reviews but hear thoughts are mixed. Sometimes though it does feel like reviewers hate fun though so ignore them mostly!
