There’s still no sign of the leads I sent for, though the tracking has been updated at least. I got frustrated though and, when we walked Naryu on Saturday, I popped into Home Bargains. I’d not expected them to have leads, they didn’t when I looked before, but they did this time, the lead is short which is annoying but the unused extension lead helped. So I’m back on the pad and back on my nonsense.

I had comics come Saturday, which I’ve only read one so far. I have a little pile now that I’m hoping to go through this week (along with reading black Spire).

Sunday I watched Detective Pikachu on blu ray which was nice to see again. I still think thegraohics are incredible and I really hope for more live action Pokémon films.

I’ve not done much else though. I finished fic and ended up going on Forza (which I’m useless at but is still... I dunno, fun?) and watching Nailed It instead of Disenchantment, oops.

Yesterday I did some gaming in the afternoon, Astroneer with saur which was fun, even though I fell down holes in caves and died. Oops. We might do more Thursday along with We Were Here,

I continued my Who rewatch last night too. It was The Keeper Of Traken. I watched it last when I got the new beginnings boxset, which was awhile ago. I only remembered the basics of it going in (that it was set on Traken, that it introduced Nyssa and the reveal).

The Keeper Of Traken is my favourite of season 18 so far. It’s got a good, intriguing story, a great supporting cast and it’s easy to see why Nyssa became a companion. Plus the sets, costumes and props are great too. The Melkur is suitable strange and menacing looking and the eventual reveal of who is behind it (and the very last scene) are great too. Plus Adric gets a bit more to do which is good.

I do wish I had season 19 and I know I’ll want it more after Logopolis. Damnit being crazy prices. I’ll just have to skip forward to season 23 when it comes, which should be soon.

Last night also bought good news from Star Wars. It’s been confirmed that two characters in Star Wars Resistance are a gay couple! Finally we get onscreen representation! Hopefully there’ll be more, including a certain pilot, ex stormtrooper and bumbling ‘spy’. *crosses fingers*

Today is the first of October and I’m gonna try and do kinktober. I’m gonna try and do about 10 of them roughly. I’m gonna start the first one soon. I’m also inspired by teigh_corvus to watch some horror films this month. Again it likely won’t be every day (Monday’s and Fridays are the worst for it) but it’ll give me an excuse to watch some stuff on Shudder and some of the pile of doom. We’ll see how it goes.

I went to the opticians today so I’m gonna have new glasses new week. My eyes have got a little weaker so it should help. They also will have stronger frames which should help too.

Now I’m gonna snuggle and write soon.

So I’ve not done a non-fic post in about a week so here goes I guess.

First, I was worried I was fucked with my project for uni but! The sunflower seeds started to grow thank fuck. One seems to have stalled but the rest are growing nicely which is a relief.

Thursday we went to get mum’s pills. It resulted in me going in Sainsbury’s but it was a bit of a bust cause there was none of the Lego Star Wars sets from the sale there. Disappointing, but we got a few other things.

Friday I went to Home Bargains to pick up stuff and ended up with a pack Star Wars figures I’d not seen, yay! But I ended up overspending a bit ugh. I did watch the Discovery finale and holy fuck, it was so good. A real culmination of the series so far (though sad too because of Pike leaving and Cornwell :() I watched Doctor Strange after that too which is still pretty good.

Saturday mum’s friend came round and she is just... I mean she’s nice enough really but she’s so loud and insufferable (which makes mum loud too) and so I couldn’t focus. I tried to watch Kubo and the two strings but I lost track of it pretty quick because of it.

After she left (which felt longer than usual) we took Naryu for a quick walk and settled to watch Fantastic Beasts The Crimes Of Grindlewald since we missed it at the cinema. Holy fuck, the reviews were right. What a train wreck of a movie. It was such a mess and I was so disappointed. (Where were the crimes? And what the hell did they do to Queenie? And why was it such a mess?) I can see now why Lego only made the one set (which was of one of the few good parts). Mum said it was the worst thing we’d seen since the Blade Runner sequel and I have to agree. I had hoped people were exaggerating but... nope. How did they mess it up so much?

I did get my Easter eggs though so yay chocolate! And I had my Easter Lego set of the Praetorian guards which is small but pretty nice.

And Resistance was good too, though it means sadness is coming as our disaster Kaz is going to lose everyone. And BB-8 finally left which was good to see.

Sunday we watched better films. After catching Doctor Strange on Friday I wanted to watch Thor Ragnarok before Infinity War so it became a double bill. Ragnarok is such an awesome film, definitely the best Thor film. I’m so not ready for Endgame though. I hope my boys don’t die though... I dunno. Maybe I’ll do a follow up to my fic depending on how it goes.

Music wise I’ve been listening to a The New Regime, FOB’s Mania and, oddly, Armor For Sleep today (And Gravity). I did start the Magnus archives too, which is super creepy and I love it. There was new music too, Raiders finally put out a song as did Motionless (I only like the one song, but it reminded me how sexy Chris was and which I could write him again/get more content of him).

That leads me to today. This week is my week off uni for Easter so my general plan has been to read my fic tabs of doom, read more Queen’s Shadow, catch up on podcasts, game and write (including hopefully finishing my serial killer kliego fic).

However this morning was interrupted by my depression trying to blanket me. It’s a hard thing to describe for those that don’t get depression, mainly because it was a wave of sadness with no cause. I wish it did, especially when people asked about it and I wasn’t sure what to tell them. It was just... random sadness.

Thankfully it disipated before it could latch onto something, which would’ve been worse. I don’t need to hyper focus on the people that fucked me over, nor play at my insecurities. Still a part of me worries it’ll come back. That remains to be seen though. Maybe it’s because mum’s birthday is close and the reminder of the cold message I got from Nat last year is lingering. Who knows though?

The rest of the day has been spent not doing much. I couldn’t focus on fic, so after a sesssion which cleared my head I caught the first Captain America film on film 4 (it’s my least favourite of the cap films but seems to get a little better each rewatch).

After that I finally watched Venom, which I got from Sainsbury’s with Beasts. I’d heard good things about it and, thank fuck. People were right! I loved it so much. Go see it if you haven’t because Symbrock is just perfect. There better be a sequel, because they have such potential. (And Eddie is so pure and a disaster)
