So it’s monthly round up time! How has another month gone already?

Looking at this I actually managed to do more than I thought I did. Like I’ve done something for pretty much everything which is good and some things that I didn’t do are mostly due to stress high is annoying. (And being too lazy to disc switch until I’ve finished the doctor who special features, which I’ve not finished cause stress and tiredness).

I think I’ve mentioned most of the things here at various points so I won’t go over them.

But damn I’m still thinking of that thing from the Wendigoon vid. A 9ft shark had a tracking device on it and they found it washed up on shore. When they looked at the info on it something had dragged the shark suddenly into the depths. And honestly? That’s one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever heard.

I would cover the thing I did with things I wanted to do last month but again, cause of stress I don’t think I can. I’m more annoyed that I wasn’t able to fic anything. Like I had things virtually ready to go and my focus has just been so fucked. Hopefully this month I can get some of the many WIPs and such out. Maybe.

I dunno if I’ll do a similar thing for this month but if it is it won’t be till next week.

***

The rest of the post is mostly quick fire things cause I feel drained (due to the dumb heat making me drained).

I watched Andor and damn, the costume designers really have popped off this season and I hope that they get all the awards. (Also it’s tragically amusing they’ve made Ghorman basically space France and that ending of episode 6 is so… part was cathartic, part was immensely disappointing.)

Last night I finally saw Nope cause it was on tv. Spoilers thoughts under the cut.

( Read more... )

Today’s been a low energy day but! When we walked Naryu we saw the first ducklings of the season! In fact, bar some tiny tadpoles, it’s the first of any baby animal. There were 8 of them total and they were so cute and fluffy!

Of course I’d not took my pad or anything cause I didn’t think we’d see anything, so I’ll take it Sunday to try and get pics.

The rest of the day was spent finishing Andor (with the aforementioned ep 6), then the new Star Wars fortnite (Poe looks so cool and has two outfits!) and a Lego set I ordered on sale arrived (an acclamator class Star Destroyer) and now there’s Taskmaster.

Tomorrow’s a busy day but expect pics of cute animals on 8nsta at some point when I’m back!

A few days late on posting this but…

First let’s start with the things I did which is something for most things this time! Most things I’ve made individual posts about such as Ghostbusters - Frozen Empire (which I really enjoyed),:ABC Murders (a pretty good read), High Potential (really great and fun), Horros Greatest (which made me wanna watch more j-horro) and Stranger Things (which I have had MANY thoughts over).

Things I’ve not mentioned, or mentioned as much is Selene’s second story arc The Doll Hospital which… I dunno it didn’t really click with me. Maybe it was the content of the piece but I think it was more the doll part wasn’t really used all that well despite being in the title? Likewise The Rig season 2 didn’t feel as good as the first one. Like it started strong but it ended up with a bigger focus on corporate politicking.

Then there’s the audio I listened to Tropical Beach a sounds And Other Relaxing Seascapes #4 which ended up being so great. It was about a self help tape which was possessed so you had the voice of Micheal Palin being all sinister throughout. And damn there were some killer lines, like how did he make ‘you will get your biscuits’ sound so sinister? As well as talk about sexual assignations and Ianto having ‘nothing to be ashamed off’. Such a wild time.

Also with reading I did start two other books, Flight Of Icarus and The Thirteen Problems and the later I’ve continued to work on already this month and the former I might soon too.

Alas sickness and stress ruined my focus for this month so there’s not been a fic posted. There were a few times I got inspired and did write, but then the following day or days killed inspiration which really sucks. I hope to get back to writing when my head eases but ugh.

I did hope to read a graphic novel too before the month ended but couldn’t find the focus.

I had hoped to see something at the cinema but between a lack of energy, money and bad timing I just didn’t.

***

Second part of the post is about the new Doctor Who trailer which released Sunday night.



The new season (it still feels so wrong calling it season 2) looked good from the teaser at christmas but this one makes it look even better. I mean there’s so much in the trailer that I’m really curious about and Belinda is giving me Tegan energy with her demanding to be taken home.

The four main things I’m curious about:
*That Giant skeleton of… something, I wanna know what its deal is
*The episode with Mr Ring-a-Ding (the animated character that comes out of the screen) which looks really good
*The creepy thing that Ruby (I’m assuming it’s her) says ‘wants you scared’ because it ‘likes the taste’
*The Interstellar Song Contest, because how could I not love that as a concept?

Also Who related but the Doctor Who season 7 boxset arrived Monday, yipee! Though as mentioned before it’s timing is terrible because as much as I really want to watch this month is the worst for watching stuff causa the Tubbathon. Hopefully I can work in at least starting it sometime but who knows when.

Speaking of the Tubbathon it’s been really great so far. No Dice is a highlight, though the end of the first session definitely caused Owen have to change things (damnit Sloevi😭) and Twitch Master on Monday night was so fun (Freddie was so horny for Tubbo and his painting was so unhinged) so I’m curious how the rest ones. The next main event is tomorrow with Watch Box which is billed as being like big brother and has Seapeekay and Piso so will be… something.

Yesterday was a library day cause and I ended up reading some of my Who magazines and the second of The Thirteen Problems (which I really liked and figured out just before Marple said the solution). And ahh we got a visit from puppies which were so cute!

Now I’m gonna flop and maybe do some more reading (either The Thirteen Problems or the season 7 booklet) and then tonight is a big question mark. Maybe I’ll watch another Stranger Things but we’ll see.

I realised the other day I’d not actually posted the last monthly round up of 2024 so here it is.

Overall the only thing I’d not managed was to read a book. I did read some of the first story of I Want That Twink Obliterated…. And then promptly lost it. It, along with Sleep Token magazines and SFX, have suddenly gone awoke. I took them to the library and bout them home but I’ve no idea where they are and haven’t exactly been able to properly search.

Most of the things from the round up I’ve mentioned already in detail elsewhere.

*Witches road was really good and it’s made me wanna see more Scarlet Witch comics.
*Sonic 3 was really good and was my farm film of the year! I wanna get the Knuckles series.
*I’m glad I finished Stranger Athings season 2 and I’m getting back to season 3 tonight

I’m sure I could add more thoughts but my head, annoyingly, is hazy

****

No other thoughts right now cause I’m a mix of tired (due to annoyance of the repair guy that came today but that’s for another post) and creativity has flickered back to life so I’m ficcing a lil so wanna get back to it. I might do a separate post with snowflake, again, if I have a concrete idea and I’ve got things to reply to but I don’t have the focus for right now.

So it’s time for another monthly round up. The time sure has flies. I’ve something for most categories though some still are lacking sadly. (Again, mostly due to health stuff.) So again, no fic which is annoying, as well as no graphic novels (I intended to read the Dead By Daylight one, but the weekend was so dark) and no who audio (although funnily, I did listen to one this morning). I’ve also been chipping away at Rogue though my rough sleeping has meant I’ve lacked the focus to read more (which sucks!)

However good things! I’ve finished a bunch of things! The Magnus Protocol season 1 (bar the epilogue), Star Wars Outlaws (like I said it’s so fun!), Tears Of The Kingdom (finally! More on that later) and the Mallorca Files (fun as always). Also I finished the Ju-On boxset and the physical VHS films (again more on those later). And, after months of lack of focus, I’m back to watching things on shudder, and not just for VHS! The first Horror’s Greatest is fun.

Plus I saw Alien Romulous, thoughts which I posted a few weeks back.

I still need to watch the rest of Futurama, though it has been really fun and I am continuing Agatha Alll Along (which may be my fave Marvel series) so woo.

I’m hoping this month I can actually write, I have ideas it’s just the will to actually write them and it hasn’t helped having distractions (and pain). Fingers crossed I have something this week!

***

Anyone onto Zelda thoughts which are twofold because I’ve been playing two games.

First is Tears Of The Kingdom. While I had finished the four main regions I still had a bunch of stuff to do. I had intended to goes back to it for months but just… couldn’t. Instead I did a lot of stuff over a few days. The stuff I did:
*Beat Master Kohga in the depths multiple times, including the last one
*Went to Hyrule castle after imposter Zelda
*Found all the tears (which was wild seeing all the cutscenes)
*Did all the stable quests with Penn
*Got the master sword
*found the sage of spirit
*went in the depths beneath the caste and beat Ganondorf

It was a lot to do in such a short time but I somehow locked in and did it. The fight with Ganondorf was really hard, but it was satisfying having all the sages join in. And the last part of the fight (while thankfully easier) was so pretty.

After the credits rolled and the last scene though I couldn’t help but think one thing: did Mineru bring everyone to the island with no way down??

(Of course I have many other thoughts and feelings so if anyone has played please lemme know so we can ramble)

But it was fun and I’m glad I was finally able to lock in and do it (maybe I should get back to skyward sword at some point)

I gave myself a break and then started the new game Echoes Of Wisdom yesterday. (Thoughts this time ipunder a cut cause early game spoilers. For reference I’ve done the first dungeon and on the way to the second, but got sidetracked)

( Read more... )

Like I mentioned about I watched more VHS films and I did ratings on twitter as I went along so I’m posting the pm here like I did with the first one the other day. As I watched 2 and Viral it surprised me how few segments I remembered (1 vaguely from 2 and the wrap around and 1 from viral) whereas in 94 I remembered them. I guess it’s cause I’d seen it more recently than 2 and viral.

VHS 2
Wrap around: 6.5/10
Segment 1: 7.5/10
Segment 2: 6/10
Segment 3: 8/10
Segment 4: 6.5/10

I’m glad that vhs 2 had more likeable characters than the first one, and I loved how inventive each of them are (even the second which was the most eh). I’d have rated the last higher if the poor pupper hadn’t got hurt (and implied died). My fav though is the one I remembered, Segment 3 (Safe Haven) which is just so well done and it’s a bold choice for the series to have a subtitled segment so early on.

VHS Viral
Wrap around: 6.5/10
Segment 1: 7.5/10
Segment 2: 7.5/10
Segment 3: 7/10

Viral felt a bit more consistent in terms of quality, though it also had one less segment. (Apparently there was a 4th segment filmed and it’s included on the American release but not on the uk one, which annoyed me as soon as I found out.) The wraparound was a little too disjointed alas, but other than that the first two were really good concepts well executed and the last one was fun too.

VHS 94
Wraparound: 7/10
Segment 1: 8/10
Segment 2: 8/10
Segment 3: 6.5/10
Segment 4: 2.5/10

After the first three films the series changed its format so every segment is set in a particular year (though after three of those the format has seemingly changed again though time will tell if it’s a one off). This one is set in 94 and the first two segments are really strong ones. (The first one especially providing a nice contrast with th documentary style of viral’s first one). However the last two segments are lacking to me. The third, while clearly well done, just didn’t hit with me and the final segment was just so… ugh. (Though maybe it’s cause of the content of it) but the wrap around was pretty good.

I might watch the next one tonight or tomorrow, ish time for the new one on Friday (which I’m hoping to watch release night)

***

Lastly it’s October 1st, so that makes it officially start of spooky season! I hope everyone has done something spooky today. The Who audio I listen ed to this morning was kinda spooky, then I have the Chucky season 1 finale tonight though boo sky mix at not starting season 2 next week.

So it’s monthly round up time and… yeah there’s large gaps this time. That’s mostly down to low energy (a mix of general low energy and mood, but also the heat being draining) which is so annoying.

Heat is what put me off going to the cinema, among other things, cause I pondered seeing Despicable Me 4, Inside Out 2 or Deadpool and wolverine. My local cinema is still showing them all but will I have chance to see them before they switch out? I am hoping to see something this month though, if not them then Borderlands (which the cinema is getting), the new Alien film or Trap.

Although who audios are blank cause Into the tardis ones technically count?

Also yay for finally finishing a book. It’s taken me so long to read which is annoying but I finally finished one. (A+ work for having a non binary character and what might be the first mention of binders in Star Wars). And yay for Krow’s audio, I hope it does more cause it has a good voice for it.

The main thing I watched was The Acolyte which was A Lot. I have many thoughts and feelings about it. (Manny Jacinto hot being a main one).

I hate how I didn’t fic, it’s not that I had no ideas it’s that words just wouldn’t come out which is so irritating.

Anyway now to flop, maybe fic and snuggle.

Late update to these, I kept meaning to post them but failing. Obviously the past months haven’t had much done causa various things.

I had hoped to read more comics causa free comic book day, but alas only managed to read two which is annoying, hopefully I can read some this month.

Main things of note:
*I finally started The Umbrella Academy… only to promptly not continue you it despite being intrigued by it
*I watch the first half of Tales Of The Empire and then also forgot to watch the second half
*I’ve slipped behind on Into The Tardis and Magnus Protocol oop
*I had expected seeing Episode I would start a Star Wars run but it didn’t
*American Horror Story Murder House really pulled focus (as it should it’s awesome!) and I should finish season 1 tonight (if not then this weekend)

This month I am hoping to hit more of these again. I am hoping to get one game done this month, albeit not one of the ones I have started, but next week one of my potential games of the year is coming to game pass: Still Wakes The Deep. It’s a horror game set on an oil rig and I wanna try and dedicate a few nights next week to playing it.

Anyway, this might be the first of a few posts today so stay tuned for those.

First monthly round up of the year!

I feel I did better than I expected to. I’m glad I got to start Star Trek Prodigy at last (which I’ve really enjoyed) and the first Hazbin ep was good too. I did hope to do more, but alas my head and eyes being archly has meant I’ve not been able to do much (also why I didn’t get to finish Under The Waves which I thought I’d be able to when I started it)

And I’m glad I finally watched the Dungeons And Dragons blu ray that’s been sitting there for months!

And it’s obvious how someone got me distracted with Asking Alexandria.

Hopefully this month I can watch something on shudder and do other things, though we’ll see.

***

The last few days have been uneventful, mostly cause I got really tired and stressed. In part that’s cause we were gonna have the washer sorted a few days ago but it kept being stalled (it seems to be sorted now though). I’d also suggested to mum we could go out the other day but she seemed non-committal so I didn’t push it, though on the day of course she changed her mind but didn’t tell me. (Though im kinda glad we didn’t).

A few months ago we had booked a ticket for something, though I can’t seem to find any confirmation so now I’m wondering if we actually did (I’d not be surprised, I think it was done on mums kindle which tends to be temperamental)

And ahhh Sleep Token are doing a uk tour in November (ugh why in a cold month!) so I might try and get a ticket. The us tour went real quick so I’m not optimistic, but… we’ll see

Yup I know it’s late but ugh anxiety and stress was annoying which was also a factor in November being lacking in some areas, boo. But here’s Novembers round up, posted on Christmas Eve oop.

—

And mini post cause I don’t think I’ll make one later.

Happy almost christmas!

Yesterday ended up being so tiring, we went to sainsburys to get food shopping and ugh, it was busy already. I’d also told mum that certain things should be left till last cause I’m trying to keep track of money and previous pre Christmas shops were crazy which of course she ignored. (Most notably cause of the cat litter which she insisted on getting despite it being three times the price we usually pay and me not wanting to, especially since there was an Aldi next door we were going to check which, surprise surprise, had some at the usual price, ugh)

Thankfully it wasn’t an overspend like the last times despite that though and picking up the food orders went ok. (And I got to see the Guinea pigs in pets at home while waiting, they’re so cute!)

When I got back I ended up dozing then watching a few things on tv. There was some stuff on Dickens on sky arts (I didn’t know he’d been to Italy, or that he’d done so many ghost stories), then I finally watched the grinch on tv (pretty good), then watched a bit of a stream before Invitation to murder (good idea, didn’t quite work).

Then I did a bit more of Baldur’s Gate so I’m not off the nautoloid ship and on the ground now. I dunno why but the first combat there seemed much harder than the one on the ship. I didn’t do much cause of that but! I did get to meet two hot men which are now part of my party, Gale and Astarion. (Which can smooch them both right?) I loved that Astarion’s intro included him having a knife at my characters throat, like yep game, really start with that👀

Thn I did a few round on dead by daylight before crashing again. I had hoped to work on something yesterday ficwise but I dunno, I think tiredness got the better of my brain.

Anyway! Today’s plan is White Christmas, maybe work on stuff then just watch the stuff on bbc1.(and iplayer stuff from 2)

I meant to post this sooner, but *gestures* things happened and I got too distracted and unfocused. So two weeks late, here it is!

Again I didn’t do any reading like I meant to, which really sucks. I really need to get back to reading my books because I was so into them and it feels like I don’t have time. I’d also intended to watch stuff on prime (I wanted to watch Red White and Royal Blue but never found the time) and shudder (there was some good sounding films this time!). I might have watched a film in the cinema if the showings were on better times

However I did manage to do some games (which were good but the endings…) and do a bunch of the Saw run (which is super fun!). Plus there’s Ahsoka and Futurama and the Babylon 5 film turned out to be awesome.

Plus, as I’ve said before, words have come back! So writing has taken a decent chunk of time especially when I’m in the zone.

Hopefully this months round up will be earlier!

There’s gonna be another post later, because Things happened yesterday that feel like a personal attack (in a good way) and I was gonna tack them to this post but I feel they deserve their own thing so that’s what they’re getting (probably around lunch time)

Monthly round up post time!

Again there’s been no fic, which is kinda bleh but I did end up starting something (again) so we’ll see if that goes anywhere or if I become blocked.

At least this month I did finish a game, with The Chant. Like I’ve mentioned it’s a solid 7/10 and I hope the studio do more.

I listened to a lot of Spirit Box Radio because I got so into it, especially with the appearance of Oliver at last.

Alas this last week (when I planned to read a graphic novel, comics and watch stuff on shudder was plagued with issues so I didn’t do any of them. I also didn’t do much of anything else (apart from finishing The Chant) which has been an annoyance. I’m hoping July will go better and the issues of today aren’t symptomatic of the month as a whole.

Yesterday after making the post we went to town to see Indiana Jones and the trip ended up being oddly tiring despite us not doing too much, which is kinda… baffling. It’s not as if we went everywhere or got bags of stuff but we were both tired.

(All I got was a magazine, a book from The works sale and some nanoblock from game, hardly heavy stuff)

Also McDonald’s was kinda… lacking (other than the mozzarella bites and fries, whenever they have cheese things it’s always so good). So if we go again I think we might skip that. Not that there’s any films I wanna see till October (unless I do decide to go to a late spiderverse showing)

Brief thoughts on Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny under the cut (I’ll keep it spoiler free as possible).
