A slightly earlier song Saturday, cause I dunno if I’ll have the time actually on Saturday.

I’ve been such a fail at doing this, even though I pondered doing a few songs I’ve just… not. But I had to do this one so, here it is.



So I know CG5 has been working on a Quackity song for awhile and yesterday this got posted. I wasn’t able to watch the premier of the video on YouTube (a mix of watching some of Quakecon and doing badly in a Fortnite tournament) but I saw screenshots of the animation and knew I had to see asap.

Because let’s face it, the animation is amazing art and huge kudos to the artist that worked on it. Diceshimi did such wonderful work! It’s so pretty and detailed and just… I love it. It covers c!Quackity’s stuff, but mostly focussing on the Las Nevadas stuff. (And it makes me wanna watch the stuff I’ve not seen I’ve still only seen the last one) there’s just so much to it, and I love the card art for Foolish,

But ah the song! It could so easily play as Quackity’s villain song and it’s just so… epic. I think the instrumental bit towards the end does work better with the visuals of the video (the fight with Purpled is so !!!) but it still works. And there’s just so so much to it.

I’ve lost track of the amount of times I’ve listened to this song already and it’s only been out, what? 15 hours or something? And i know it’s gonna get stuck in my head. I wish I could find a place to download CG5’s stuff to put on my pod thing.

The past few days have been a bit… iffy. Culminating in a massive depression downswing Wednesday night which was… ugh.it’s hard to define, but in some ways there are elements I can see as a contribution. But I’m not gonna go into those here.

Before that on Wednesday there was some better things. The new Who magazine came which had some info on the Abominable Snowman blu ray, coming in a few weeks, as well as a tribute thing for Bernard Cribbins (which I’ve not read yet but will soon). There was also a short thing on the upcoming Who Ray, again wisely not confirming a date.

Jack did a stream that night too which was a bit surreal, as it had Micheal from 5 Seconds Of Summer join the DreamSMP which was just… so strange. Especially as they ended up listening to clips of songs some people have made.

Yesterday was… slightly better. But my mood was slight off most of the day. But hey, we got a Wilbur and a Ranboo stream (annoyingly overlapping).

I’m a bit annoyed too cause insomnia put up times of stuff and, ugh. It seems there are some interesting panels on Friday after all… but it seems everything is clashing (one’s at 1-2, one starts at 1:30 and the Zelda meet and greet is from 1 too) which is just so… ugh. Also annoying? It seems seapeekay’s not gonna be there on the Friday anyway but will be there on the Saturday. Which made me think should I go Saturday too (cause there’s an interesting sounding dnd thing too) but I think it’d be too busy and a bit much. And it’s seapeekay it’s not as if its Wilbur or Ranboo.

Semi related to dnd, but Magic The Gathering had a thing last night too and there’s gonna be a Doctor Who set for it! The art looks so cool! I dunno if there’s a date or anything but I definitely wanna get it.

Today I had to make icons from Lonely King so while I did I listened to one of the audios from the Doctor Who humble bundle. I’d noticed they had the full set of the first Classic Doctors new monsters which is something I’d always been curious about. The concept is exactly what it says, each of the audios features one of the classic Doctors with one of the new monsters from the new series (although the last of the four is… sontarans, which seems a bit cheap but then again there might but something else in there).

This morning I listened to the first one, Fallen angels, which was about, as the name implies, the weeping angels. I was curious how the angels would work in audio as they’re a very… visual concept. It works pretty well, with musical cues signalling when they move and it’s actually a pretty good story. The classic doctor for this one was the fifth Doctor which works well though oddly he lacks any of his companions for the story. Instead there’s two new people, who got displaced by the angels (one of whom is voiced by the new master! Which was cool but a little odd too).

One interesting thing about it is something the Doctor mentioned at the end. Once the angels are trapped the couple asks if they can be taken home, but the doctor says that he can’t because of the angels sending them back. I wonder if that was put in as an explanation for why the doctor couldn’t go back for Amy and Rory later.

I’m looking forward to listening to the rest, hopefully I can listen to them fairly regularly. The other two classic Doctor new monster eps feature the Judoon and the Sycorax, and I love the Judoon so im definitely gonna listen to that one.

Today I’m gonna… I dunno. It depends if my mood stays stable (although as I was working on this post the net, or perhaps the pad, has acted up so maybe not)

Tomorrow I’m stuck going to town cause of taking money in for mums friend, but hopefully I can take advantage of it and check smiths for some magazines, but also go to Macdonalds too. They have halloumi fries! And also Pokemon happy meals, so I’m gonna try and get one (I wanna see what the cards with them are!). And then there’s MCC in the night. I might end up watching Ranboo again, if only to see what outfit he’s gonna wear this time.
