So the past days have been a bit like the past weeks have in general, a sense of feeling ‘tuned out’ especially at night. It’s a weird feeling that I can’t fully articulate, but I wish I could, because it’s so annoying.
But I digress, onto the post (and I just saw the Friday five which looks interesting this week so I might do that late or tomorrow.
I saw that Netflix have a new show coming called Below which is about a sea monster terrorising a coastal town so I’m really interested already. It’s also got Josh Hartnett and Charlie Heaton in it. Maybe there’ll be a trailer at comic con.
Also speaking of comic con, Hasbro have a panel… and let slip they have the license for the Zelda film and will be showing some off next week. That’s gotta mean a trailer is due too surely?
Being tuned out in the night has meant I’ve not been able to do much. But I did have better nights Wednesday and last night. On Wednesday I watched the Strange New Worlds/Lower Decks crossover ep, which was so fun and funny. I loved it so many, it’s made me wanna watch the rest of the show. I just have to remember where I left off (I think it was season 3 I fully watched?). Then I watched the next Widow’s Bay and damn, I feel so bad for Patricia.
Then last night I watched one of the films from my arrow delivery! The first Sana film, which has a band called Generations (also known as Generations from Exile Tribe). Thoughts ahoy!

This morning I was gonna go see The Odyssey, intending to go to the first showing. So I came down and had the bright idea to do pop tarts, since I’d seen the boxset the other day… and I managed to fuck it up, scalding my hand getting one out and the other broke apart in the toaster. So now my hand had three blisters which wasn’t fun at all.
I still managed to go, albeit an hour later.
(I also had mail come, In The Mouth Of Madness to add to the Sam Neill things to watch. I need to find Jurassic Park cause it seems to be awol)
When I got to the cinema I got the minions cup thay they did (with a minion in an explore outfit with a lil flaming torch).
Trailers before The Odyssey were: the uprising, digger, heart of the beast, pressure, the dog stars, Spiderman. I’m not gonna talk much on them this time as most were done before (Digger was new though, and it’s funny it has Eva Stratt from Project Hail Mary in it. And The Uprising was something I’d not seen before and doubt I will).
This is where I usually put in a warning or note about mid/post credits stuff but instead I’ll just say DO NOT TAKE IN A DRINK YOU WILL REGRET DRINKING IT.

Next cinema trip shall be to see Spiderman. But I also saw the cinema is getting Kiki’s Delivery Service next month which makes me wonder if there’ll be other Ghibli stuff.
Afterwards I had food, wandered around town (including getting from Tesco some new haribo, the Mandalorian’s N1 and the Fantastic 4 comic). There was a vinyl market/event thing but it seems to be wrapping up when I got there and I didn’t see anything of interest in my quick look.
When I got to the station the train was delayed and when I saw it was delayed 25 minutes I went to Smiths and got a Doctor Who bookazine, some Star Wars Unlimited packs (I opened the ones I got the other night, I got some good cards though damnit I got Luthen again as a leader) and they had the Stranger Things sticker starter packs. That’s the first time I’ve seen them since I got my own one.
I read some SFX reviews while waiting, then the train got delayed again on the way back. Apparently there’s been signal issues for weeks. Ugh.
Home I’ve listened to the proms and watching Magnum PI since Dave is starting the series again and, well, Magnum’s hot.
And damn this took too long cause I got sidetracked.

Anyone know anything about the band Mirror of Nightmares?
Deezer is warning for AI content on the first album, which... I try not to support such. But fuck if this is not the operatic hard rock I love. So... outside opinions?
ETA: Passion Project by Steven Saville, Website here, which lends credence to the idea it was AI-assisted, at the very least. Good reasons, wish he was more upfront on the album-making, credits for any artists and musicians involved, etc.
Like I said, the two albums sound GOOD. But. Credit your workers, and that includes what tools you used to make it in this day and age, so folks can decide "oh they used tools trained ethically" vs "oh that used tools trained on stolen music".

i’ve been having fun filling out this oc interview sheet on neocities! i’m not done yet but once i finish i’ll export it and share it here.
I hope when I get home from work I will have the energy to do some collaging, specifically to work with oldtoadwoman's Tuscon postcard. But in case the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, here are the very first collages I ever did back in January 2022, 100% inspired by this Youtube channel Moment D: https://www.youtube.com/@momentD
Poet's Corner: Meditation on a Grapefruit by Craig Arnold

stonepicnicking_okapiMeditation on a Grapefruit By Craig Arnold
To wake when all is possible
before the agitations of the day
have gripped you
To come to the kitchen
and peel a little basketball
for breakfast
To tear the husk
like cotton padding a cloud of oil
misting out of its pinprick pores
clean and sharp as pepper
To ease
each pale pink section out of its case
so carefully without breaking
a single pearly cell
To slide each piece
into a cold blue china bowl
the juice pooling until the whole
fruit is divided from its skin
and only then to eat
so sweet
a discipline
precisely pointless a devout
involvement of the hands and senses
a pause a little emptiness
each year harder to live within
each year harder to live without

insert the "yes honey" meme but it's me and ciel. also before you say anything, yes, i know they look like dimitri from fire emblem. i swear it was a coincidence and i wasn't even thinking at the time. you will need a toyhou.se account to see their profile, but i have a couple of invites if anyone would like one.
anyway, ciel has become such a massive comfort character, and i'm honestly a little embarrassed to admit, i had some extra money from my savings and splurged a lot of it on commissions of them and a few other characters. ciel is a haughty and vain person, and they're very morally grey. but for some reason, i just feel very attached to them. they're very brave too, despite their recklessness, and they're also very determined.
they lost their eye after an explosion in their laboratory (they're an alchemist). ciel's ultimate goal is to achieve immortality, and they'll go to great lengths reaching that goal. in my original novel, immortality is considered unnatural while illness and death are. when ciel lost their mother, they felt that they lost their own humanity. they sought out the best of the best doctors, healers, and priests to save their mother, but to no avail. so they took matters into their own hands at a small age: to become a god themselves.
but during their research, they became so obsessive and absorbed, that their family has not been able to contact them despite living in the same roof. ciel only comes out to eat and use the bathroom, but they never meet any guests, and they never attend any formal meetings. they're a count, but they're also a hermit.
you can read more about them on their profile (again, you need a toyhou.se account, but feel free to ask me for an invite), and if you want i would love questions about them. and if you have a character you'd like to have a friendship with, we can always talk about it. ciel is a difficult person to befriend, and they will abandon everyone if it means advancing towards their goals. but currently, their world is in a state of corruption, so they've swallowed their pride and allied themselves with a group of soldiers called the luminaries. ciel is only aligning themselves with the group because if the goddess dies and the world evaporates from corruption, then that means ciel's immortality will not save them from the end.
i should mention: ciel's immortality does not mean they're an all-powerful, mighty god. they can feel pain, they require food and water and shelter. ciel's immortality is simply a "pause button," where they no longer physically age. they never actually thought any of the consequences of immortality through, including the fact that they can and will feel immense pain. they just cannot die unless the goddess dies.
and the goddess is slowly losing her life force.
anyway, feel free to check out their bio or ask me questions. i'd really love to infodump about them, they're a really precious character to me, and it would make me happy if i could write or roleplay as them briefly some day.

trivia
- ciel and their half-brother, edgar, are heavily inspired by the story of the gemini twins; one twin was a mortal who died, and the other was an immortal son of zeus. pollux is similar to ciel, while castor is similar to edgar.
- they were created on january 26, 2026, and their profile on toyhouse was created on july 14, 2026. their profile was completed on july 16, 2026 but i often add little extra revisions to it.
- their appearance is not based on dimitri from fire emblem, and is purely a coincidence. i do know what dimitri looks like, but at the time of ciel's designing stage, i just liked the image of a blond androgynous person with an eyepatch. they lost their eye from their own accident rather than a war.
Went to ballet class again this morning! I'm iffy on morning classes because it means I have to get up early (I am NOT a morning person) but today's was pretty sick. It was the same students as I've already described in previous posts (a mom and a 14 year old). We all put our pointe shoes on at the beginning of class to do barre with and I'm proud to say I stayed en pointe for the entire class. Unfortunately I'm not proud to say that I overdid some piques and rolled my ankle a little and I probably disappointed my teacher a little bit, because she told me to do some press-ups (onto pointe) as homework. It's genuinely HARD to do stuff at half-tempo though! It was infuriating that I had to refrain from pique turns, soutenus, and pirouettes in center. This was, of course, because I hadn't been en pointe in far too long, combined with my shoes being quite new. Oh well. I'll simply have to take more pointe classes...
... But maybe not tomorrow morning, because the air quality index is currently horrendous (damn Canadian wildfires) and it'll only get worse during the time period at which I'm supposed to be at ballet. I'd like to limit the amount of walking around outside I have to do so I'll just go to work and then go home. I'll wear an N95 when I'm outside, I guess.
My Achilles was hurting a little bit after my last class but it wasn't bothering me today, thank god. Also thank god that even after I did something weird to my ankle it continued feeling just fine as long as I didn't... keep rolling my ankle again. Readers, you probably remember that I basically had a consistently injured ankle for all of last semester. This was because I was being stubborn about trying to do pointe without actually taking class consistently until I realized pretty close to the show "fuck, I can't do this, I'm going to injure myself onstage". And I made the very difficult decision to drop Cygnets so that I could perform in all my other dances without incident. And it was totally worth it so that I could stay in Dracula. (27 uninterrupted seconds of applause...)

Wednesday's word is...
...prognathous.
being or having a jaw and typically a lower jaw that projects forward especially to an unusual degree
--
I found it in Midnight at Malabar House:
A short, plump man in his forties, balding, bespectacled and with a prognathous jaw that gave him a permanently disgruntled look.
Like Charles II.

En fait de télévision c'est le tournage d'un film ; bon d'un téléfilm à faible budget, avec une jeune actrice dépassée, un véritable mystère, et la véritable fantômette qui vient s'y glisser en se faisant passer pour la fausse pour traquer un chasseur de trésor.
Euh excusez-moi après avoir été assommée violemment deux fois, un coup sur chaque temporal notre justicière devrait être morte.
Ben celui-là je n'ai pas franchment aimé.

So today as expected the Arrow order came! So I’m gonna do a lil pic post of them all.
This is the box everything came, which was in a bigger box (almost twice the size). Oddly some of the blu rays were upside down (one backwards too), so I straightened them up before this pic. (Now though they’re in alphabetical order after the Stranger Things boxset)
This should give you an idea of how big the boxset is. It’s not massive which is good, but still a decent size.
First the individual films, under cut 1.
( Read more... )
And now cut 2 which is the Stranger Things boxset.
( Read more... )
If you are thinking of getting it, or anything from the arrow sale, I do have a referral link which gives £5 off if you spent £30+

1. I haven't written a single word of fic in more than a month! This is the longest dry spell I've had (I think). I know past!me would've been worried, and I am wondering if I have lost interest in it altogether. Hm. Slightly worried but past!me would've been genuinely panicked by now.
But I have been busy with work and getting ready for the BTS concert next month (planning freebies, using Canva for the first time to design my own photocard), and doing the usual Mom stuff, filling out forms and uploading documents for the boys' sports, and the ubiquitous housework.
I don't know. I have had spells of 2-3 weeks after an intense project concludes, but not this long. Will the muse return?
2. I am reading Midnight at Malabar House for the July DW book club, and it's good. And I'm listening to Murder at Holly House by Denzil Meyrick. It's okay. Police procedural set in York in 1952. Detective has a touch of the Bertie Wooster about him (just a touch). Not going to cure cancer but okay to have on in the background while I'm cooking dinner.
3. I have been liking the videos of a Tasmanian seal (Neil the Seal). He has gone back out to sea, but he likes to make mayhem all over a little town when he's in port, so to speak.

First off before getting into the post I woke up and saw the sad news that Sam Neil has died. It feels especially sad because I’d read in sfx a few issues back that he’s just beaten cancer so to go so soon after that... We’re gonna try and watch Jurassic Park in his honour soon (and I’m gonna watch Event Horizon alone) and maybe I’ll see if there’s any stuff of his on the players. But man it’s so sad.
But anyway.
There’s been some recent deliveries these past days. On Friday I got Adam Lambert’s new album which came with some art cards (just 2) which sounded pretty good when I put it on Spotify. There was also the Heated Rivalry fancy vinyl soundtrack, but I’ve not opened it cause the heat was making me sweaty and I didn’t wanna mess it up. (There was issues with the preorder price guarantee thing but that’s been sorted). And then there’s sfx (which must’ve come Saturday but I didn’t see till Sunday, thouh it was funny cause the site said it’d be sent on the 17th) which is Strange New Worlds themed which makes me glad I’m able to watch.
(There’s a really Cool pic of M’benga and La’an in western attire in it, plus there’s a film I’m curious about from the reviews, a Japanese horror called The Curse so I’ll have to get it sometime, it’s on digital on prime at least)
The weekend as a whole was low energy for the most part. My brain kinda tuned out, mostly due to the heat so I was tired and unfocussed until Sunday night.
Sunday night I was actually able to watch stuff, which I’d not been able to do. So I finished off Spider Noir, which I sense is easily gonna be in my top 5 of shows this year, it’s so so good. I watched the whole thing in black and white, so if I watch again it’ll be in colour cause I’m sure it looks great. Then I rewatched Wildhood and the waterfall scene is still one of the hottest things I’ve ever seen, and I love how Pasmay (Joshua Odjick) is shirtless a lot.
I also did the arrow sale order since my money went in. I was only gonna get a few things, but I ended up getting: The Sana Collection, Three/Three Extremes, Hound Of The Baskervilles, Kolobos, Dark Water and the One Missed Call trilogy. Sana is the one I’ll probably watch first cause I watched a trailer and it looks so like my kinda thing. I mean I’d been hyped since I saw it announced but that made me need. (Plus I got the stranger things boxset, though who knows when I’ll actually watch it.) I do wanna get in the Mouth Of Madness
The order has already been sent though and might be here as soon as tomorrow!
Today was the day I’d considered going to town and thankfully it cooled off. The original idea was to see Minions And Monsters first (cause it had two showings) and Evil Dead Burn second, but I switched them last minute and went earlier to have food first.
Before I saw them though I got some stuff for mum from B and M, and saw that the WH Smiths is closing (I know the name is changed but I can never remember it). That’s a shame and I looked in briefly and got some Star Wars Unlimited cards with 20% off. I’ll have to open them tomorrow, see if I’ve got anything good. I’ll have to look in again Friday.
I also went in smyths and got the Mandalorian and Rotta funkos (the latter is so weighty!) but couldn’t find the Heihei I was gonna get mum. I did get the heihei cup for her from the cinema though.
Trailers were, for the most part, new.
Werwulf: Looks pretty well done, but I don’t think I’m sold enough to see it. Though the lead guy (who I’m guessing is the werewolf) does look hot
Clayface: first time seeing a trailer in cinemas and it’s a new short one. Looks pretty good and I love the body horror of the concept. It’s also got a date, my birthday week.
Resident Evil: I’ve seen this trailer when it went live, first time seeing it in the cinema. I’m hyped though, especially for the… whatever is coming through the doorway
Fall 2: New to me, not something i think I’d see.
Insidious Out Of The Further: Dunno if this was a different trailer but I still wanna see
Ice Cream Man: new trailer, better than first but… eh
Tad And The Magic lamp: looks pretty good, I saw one of the twd films a few months back and it was pretty fun. Might see if something else is on when it’s out.
the Forgotten Island: Same trailer as before
Shaun The Sheep The Beast Of Mossy Bottom: New trailer, still looks really fun
Coyote Vs Acme: Damn this looks really good! First time seeing a trailer and it looks fun
paw Patrol: same as before
Before I start, two things to note about Evil Dead Burn (in case anyone is thinking of watching). It has a midland post credits scene, so stick around for those. The second is warnings, it does have a dog dying and there is an elderly woman with dementia.
So that said let’s get to the thoughts.
( Read more... )
Next cinema trip will be for The Odyssey (I’m not gonna bother trying for the Backrooms with extra footage Wednesday, since the footage is going on YouTube this week) then the new Spiderman film. (I don’t think I’ll see Moana, recent pics/clips make it look so soulless which I really hate)
After the cinema I grabbed more things for mum (from Aldi) then came home. Again the train had issues, but I got home ok and just flopped.

I watched the whole thing in black and white, so if I watch again it’ll be in colour cause I’m sure it looks great. Then I rewatched Wildhood and the waterfall scene is still one of the hottest things I’ve ever seen, and I love how Pasmay (Joshua Odjick) is shirtless a lot.
I also did the arrow sale order since my money went in. I was only gonna get a few things, but I ended up getting: The Sana Collection, Three/Three Extremes, Hound Of The Baskervilles, Kolobos, Dark Water and the One Missed Call trilogy. Sana is the one I’ll probably watch first cause I watched a trailer and it looks so like my kinda thing. I mean I’d been hyped since I saw it announced but that made me need. (Plus I got the stranger things boxset, though who knows when I’ll actually watch it.) I do wanna get in the Mouth Of Madness
The order has already been sent though and might be here as soon as tomorrow!
Today was the day I’d considered going to town and thankfully it cooled off. The original idea was to see Minions And Monsters first (cause it had two showings) and Evil Dead Burn second, but I switched them last minute and went earlier to have food first.
Before I saw them though I got some stuff for mum from B and M, and saw that the WH Smiths is closing (I know the name is changed but I can never remember it). That’s a shame and I looked in briefly and got some Star Wars Unlimited cards with 20% off. I’ll have to open them tomorrow, see if I’ve got anything good. I’ll have to look in again Friday.
I also went in smyths and got the Mandalorian and Rotta funkos (the latter is so weighty!) but couldn’t find the Heihei I was gonna get mum. I did get the heihei cup for her from the cinema though.
Trailers were, for the most part, new.
Werwulf: Looks pretty well done, but I don’t think I’m sold enough to see it. Though the lead guy (who I’m guessing is the werewolf) does look hot
Clayface: first time seeing a trailer in cinemas and it’s a new short one. Looks pretty good and I love the body horror of the concept. It’s also got a date, my birthday week.
Resident Evil: I’ve seen this trailer when it went live, first time seeing it in the cinema. I’m hyped though, especially for the… whatever is coming through the doorway
Fall 2: New to me, not something i think I’d see.
Insidious Out Of The Further: Dunno if this was a different trailer but I still wanna see
Ice Cream Man: new trailer, better than first but… eh
Tad And The Magic lamp: looks pretty good, I saw one of the twd films a few months back and it was pretty fun. Might see if something else is on when it’s out.
the Forgotten Island: Same trailer as before
Shaun The Sheep The Beast Of Mossy Bottom: New trailer, still looks really fun
Coyote Vs Acme: Damn this looks really good! First time seeing a trailer and it looks fun
paw Patrol: same as before
Before I start, two things to note about Evil Dead Burn (in case anyone is thinking of watching). It has a midland post credits scene, so stick around for those. The second is warnings, it does have a dog dying and there is an elderly woman with dementia.
So that said let’s get to the thoughts.
( Read more... )
Next cinema trip will be for The Odyssey (I’m not gonna bother trying for the Backrooms with extra footage Wednesday, since the footage is going on YouTube this week) then the new Spiderman film. (I don’t think I’ll see Moana, recent pics/clips make it look so soulless which I really hate)
After the cinema I grabbed more things for mum (from Aldi) then came home. Again the train had issues, but I got home ok and just flopped.
