Before I get to the cinema part, I headed to B and M to get mum mints and look for a lightbulb for the oven light (I couldn’t find them). What I did find was a lil Stranger Things display, so I got fruit roll ups, a demogorgon tin (with some kinda sweets inside) and pop tart things. Plus I got a drink thing that was a game and some dice.

(Plus I picked up a Hocus Pocus bag from Asda.)

Before I get into the films there was the trailers.

Keeper (x2): Why do people in horror things keep staying in cabins in the woods? Have they not seen *unrolls list of films why that’s a bad idea*? I have been curious of this cause the cinema has had a poster of it but this was the first time seeing the trailer and I’m kinda intrigued by it?
Shelby Oaks (x2): let’s go! I had hoped there’d be a Shelby Oaks trailer today and it was (like Keeper) for both things. It was the one I’d seen before, but more importantly it confirmed the uk release date of Halloween. I’m tempted to see it if the cinema does get it then (which it should! It’s just not listed)
Chainsaw Man: I’d seen two eps of Chainsaw man on a stream once and it looked pretty good. I’m kinda curious, but like the other recent anime film I fear I’d be too lost.
Black Phone 2: it was the new trailer, yipee!
Good Boy: this was my first time actually seeing the Good Boy trailer.
28 Years Later The Bone Temple: I’d not seen 28 years later, but this follow up trailer makes me kinda curious cause what the fuck is going on?
Five Nights At Freddie’s 2: I think up this was the newer trailer, confirming we get it December 5th

Now onto the films.

Read more... )

I missed a train by a few minutes again but got the next one. Though I was so pissed. On the way home I realised I didn’t have the Hocus Pocus bag (which had the stranger things drinks/dice, a Star Wars cos baby of Fennec Shand, a Halloween choker and bat that I got from a closing Poundland). I’m so annoyed at myself and cause it’s so late I feel someone will just take it (after all there’s no one there to hand it in to). I’ll call in the morning just in case though but ugh. I’m so annoyed. I might be able to get some of the stuff later in the week but the cosbaby was the only one and the dice/drinks only had another one. Bah.

I’m gonna rest now, maybe watch something (or game).

Well, I wasn't planning on doing Kinktober this year, but five days and five fills in...I need to figure out where I'm going to post these, I guess! A couple of them can stand alone, but most of them are just short scenes.

I could do a multi-chapter fic on AO3 to collect them (they're almost all for the same ship, so it would just be a bunch of Klavdar porn fics), but I don't really love doing those, and I also don't want to post twenty-odd short fics. (I know both of those are allowed and a lot of people do them, I just don't like them for me.) Or I could just do what I've been doing with the FFA 100-words prompts and put them all up on Dreamwidth...

"I don't know where to post all of this writing" is a pretty good problem to have, so I'm not too worried, haha. Still, why do the logistics have to be so much harder than actually writing the fic?

(If you saw the unedited version of this, shh, no you didn't, Mirage was Helping.)121

(Edit #2: I see those extra numbers, but when I tried to remove them she stepped on the power key, so I'm leaving them in tribute.)

Spooky season day 3: dreamlight valley star path, VHS Halloween (thoughts here

Friday’s main spooky thing was VHS Halloween, but there was also a new Star Path on Dreamlight Valley. It’s for Halloween so I’m counting it and this one’s Witchful Thinking. As the name implies it’s mostly witchy stuff, drawing inspiration from Hocus Pocus. None of the tasks so far are especially spooky but since the stuff is I’m counting it.

Spooky season day 4: Ghost Files, Sheeple Chase, Doctor Who Audio Forty Five: False Gods

Saturday was mostly a lazy day watching Murder she wrote and spooky stuff only really came in later. I guess you could count Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue (cause someone else did die under suspicious circumstances). I’m still not sure who it is, but I knew the one guy’s luggage was going to be his luchador fit and that’s why he was so protective. I am wondering if it might pull a double bluff. The assume is that the one body not in said morgue is the killer right? But what if it’s not? It could be that the killer is one of the bodies, beaten by one of the others who flees into the jungle. (But that’s just a theory)

More definitely spooky was new ghost files, not that anything spooky happened in this one still it was. A nice location. Less definitely spooky was Sheeple Chase, which is a spin off from Magnus Archives about conspiracy theories, with this ep being about dead singer replacements.

Lastly was a Doctor audio. Forty Five, like Demons Of Red Lodge, is a set of four one part stories and I listened to the first. I did enjoy it, though it was A Lot happening. But it was set in Egypt and had Benedict Cumberbatch doing a voice (the tardis wiki says during a lunch break recording he auditioned for Sherlock which is crazy)

None spooky stuff yesterday, my Black Series Qimir came! He was due to come on my birthday, then when I checked my money a few days ago I saw the money for him had been taken out so I knew he was coming early. And ahh he looks so cool! I’m so glad that they did him and it feels like they went all out. He has a poncho, soft goods for his robes, his lightsaber and the lil one, plus two heads. (Which makes me tempted to get another so I can display him with his helmet on and off but I doubt I will) I need to take pics of him and with Yord.

Plus it has made me wanna do that rewatch of The Acolyte again.

Also there was Strictly and I love La Voix and Alex, but damn George’s dance was my fav (and his fit!). And thank fuck Tom was the one to leave tonight, I bet everyone was glad he was in the bottom two.

Today I watched High Potential to catch up and damn it’s such a great show Morgan is so awesome. Then I watched a Futurama ep which was fun and a lil silly, with people floating into the sky.

Then I watched Wednesday since Dnd got postponed. This was the camping trip ep and was pretty good though it did have Morticia and Gomez in it together and I just… do not buy the romance there at all. It’s really bizarre. I am curious how the mystery of the season is gonna pan out and I love Eugene and Pugsley together. (And Thing! Lego have done a set of the apartment Enid made and it’s so cute)

Tonight I put on A Haunting In Venice cause I’d not seen it since I saw in the cinema. Mum drifted off as I suspected, but I still think it’s the best of the Branagh Poirot films. Like I’m still not sold on him as Poirot but at least with this one it’s somewhere different and I love the haunted house setting. It is meant to be an adaption of Halloween Party but I feel like it’s one of those adaptions that uses character names and little else (I mean it’s set in Venice instead of England for some reason?) but I still love the whole spooky vibe it has going for it. Plus I do like Tina Frey’s Ariadne, it’s a shame she probably won’t be in another cause I liked how they worked together.

And so another week ends. Next week is a little hazy on plans, with Monday being the only concrete day. Mum’s friend is coming in the morning (alas, which means I can’t start uni reading until Tuesday) and in the late afternoon/night is the cinema trip (for Him and the mystery film).

On Tuesday I’ll firm up what my plans are because there’s three things.
*There’s seeing The Long Walk (which may be Wednesday or Thursday)
*There’s a store opening in Birmingham on Friday so I’m thinking of going (they’re giving out goodie bags which I’m curious about cause the store has Sanrio and Pokémon stuff). If I do this I wouldn’t stay in Birmingham long, basically looking in the Lego store at new stuff, popping in hmv and Forbidden Planets, then heading to town to the cinema (for Tron Ares and maybe something else)
*Saturday (and Sunday) is the Birmingham Horror Film Festival. I’m feeling I won’t go to it though. If it was in Birmingham itself I might have but as it’s a second train away I’m doubting it’s worth it. Plus it’d be a long day, there’s no guarantee of their being good food and it might just be A Lot in general. (Can you tell I did a pro/con list?) If someone I’d wanna see is announced I might change my mind but that feels doubtful.

Other than that, it’s starting uni, seeing what’s in prime day (hoping for a micro sad, or some other stuff), poke my fic brain and maybe watch K Pop Demon Hunters finally. (I blame strictly and Fortnite) plus getting back to Hades II. We’ll see if I do any of that though.

[personal profile] musesfool
Since I'm going to the office on Tuesday and my whole team is supposed to be in, I am finally going to be able to get some feedback on funfetti cupcakes. So today, I baked both the Sally's Baking Addiction recipe (black and white cupcake papers) and the Smitten Kitchen recipe (yellow and red cupcake papers) (pics), and I think the Sally's recipe is the winner. I particularly like that it uses melted butter instead of having to cream the butter and sugar, so it can be done easily by hand. (For Christmas, I will double the recipe, so I'll use the stand mixer anyway, but overall, I do like a recipe that can be made without one.) My plan is to make the SK frosting attached to that recipe (doubled, and potentially tripled if necessary since I have 72 cupcakes to frost (38 Sally's, 34 Smitten Kitchen - overall they made 40 and 36 mini cupcakes, respectively, but I ate 2 of each). Normally, I would go for cream cheese frosting for funfetti, but both my nephews have said they prefer buttercream, and since this is specifically for them (and to replace the vanilla cupcakes I've been making but have been unhappy with), I figured I'd go with their preference. We'll see how it goes.

In other news, I am so sad HGTV cancelled Bargain Block - I still have the last couple of post-New Orleans episodes to watch, but then it will be all over and I will miss Keith and Evan a lot. I heard they also cancelled Married to Real Estate, which I also enjoy but still have a couple of seasons I haven't seen, and that Unsellable Houses is probably also going to get canned, which is a shame because that is my other favorite HGTV show and I have already watched all that is available. On the plus side, it seems like Home Town will be coming back, and I do enjoy that one, plus the new season of Help! I Wrecked My House (now in Park City, UT) has started (though I haven't watched it yet). And of course, my Elementary rewatch continues.

Spooky season day 2: Curse Of Frankenstein, Pokémon Stream - Chills And Thrills

So in the last post I covered Curse Of Frankenstein so I’m not gonna do that again. But after the post I watched the Pokémon stream. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they stream Pokémon the series and lately Thursdays have been Johto (aka Gold and Silver) and I’ve been enjoying that cause that’s roughly as far as I saw in the original run.

However instead last night they posted a theme night, ‘Chills and Thrills’. In reality that just meant a bunch of episodes with ghost Pokémon. Only a handful were genuinely spooky, with a bunch of them about Ash’s battle with a ghost gym leader. As such it felt a bit odd, especially since some of them had ghost Pokémon just for one or two scenes.

Today has been a lazy day really. We’d heard a we were gonna get some of a storm and, sure enough, that happened today. So it’s been mostly bundled up, getting Midna cuddles and doing Fortnite, since there’s a bunch of new quests.

Though of course Leia decided to go out in the storm and so we had to chase her around the house to dry her which was… a lot.

I also went down a rabbit hole and now I wanna hunt down a film called Wildhood. I’m gonna track the blu ray down once money goes in cause I wanna see the hot guy from The Long Walk make out with a guy (and maybe more).

But then tonight was also the new VHS, VHS Halloween. Thoughts are under the cut (along with triggers at the start.)

Read more... )

Now it’s almost 4 oop. Tomorrow I’m gonna be watching Murder She Wrote, Strictly and Nine Bodies In Th Mexican Morgue. I’m not sure what tomorrow’s spooky thing might be. Maybe it’ll be something lighter, or just reading the Fantastic Four comic.

Ugh, I woke up at 3:30 this morning coughing my lungs out and didn't really sleep much after that. It's that itchiness in my throat and chest that make me think allergies, especially given that I haven't really been around people except at the dentist's office yesterday, so I don't think it's covid? But who knows at this point? My quest to get this year's flu/covid shots has been derailed a couple of times but I am off again next Friday, so that is going to be my next attempt.

In more fannish news, I read that Dungeon Crawler Carl has been optioned for tv, and now I want a Carl vid to Mike Ness's version of "Don't Think Twice."

It’s time!

Spooky month is here! Rejoice! (Along with dozens of -tober month things, why is October the month for those?)

This spooky season I’ll be posting what I do spooky season.

Day 1: Welcome To Night Vale - Date Night, Fall Guys done Fall-o-ween Frights, ESO

First there was the new Welcome To Night Vale which, despite the name was spooky via the presence of the citizen eating town founder crashing the date night. As usually it was a fun ep (I giggled at the ai comments) and it was funny that though they did puzzle the founder so much was happening they didn’t know what it was. Also the restaurant was a mix of cute (awww bee petting!) and horrific.

Fall Guys had two Halloween events start and I completely the first one, which had rewards including a costume that looked like a robot jack o lantern. Elder Scrolls Online was more obviously spooky, with a quest to pet daedric princes causing trouble. (I’m also way behind on ESO cause this was an Apocrypha quest and there’s since been two story areas since then).

I did consider watching a treehouse of horror ep, but Disney+ didn’t have the Halloween section up and I didn’t have focus.

At the end of the last post I mentioned there not being Frankenstein dates, well today I checked the cinema site and there is some! Strangely Netflix said it would be one day only, on the 17th. However my cinema has at least a week of showings! So from the 24th-30th(at least!) and what’s more there’s not one but three showings per day! I was so worried I’d miss it on the 17th so that’s much better. My thought is to see it on the Wednesday, cause that’s when the Halloween art event at the art gallery is.

Speaking of cinema today was a cinema day. I had hoped to go see two things (my plan was to see The Roses) but my stomach had felt funny last night and so I didn’t feel like seeing it. Thankfully my stomach was ok today so I did go.

Before I did I had a delivery of t-shirts from qwertee, a silksong and an alien earth one. (And yesterday my tubbo cargo pants came!) And mum did some messing today in her room and found loads of things I’d been missing, including the Ranboo tee I won, the Hellfire Club tee I got and the Sorry Boys Book Club tee which I never wore before it was squirrelled away.

In town I picked up the new fantastic 4 comic, then some Halloween bunting and hello kitty Halloween tattoo things then went to the cinema. The Black Phone 2 display was set up and looked cool, plus I had a compliment from the guy that scanned my ticket for my Silksong tee which was nice.

The trailers were a strange mix. There was Corpse Bride and Paranorman, which are both getting seasonal re-releases. Then there was one for Battleship Potemkin (cause they’re getting silent film re-releases, this one with a musical score) and lastly was I Swear. This was the strangest choice to me. Cause the film was rated 12A the trailer was cut to hell to remove the swearing which just made it play out so oddly.

Curse Of Frankenstein was in one of the back screens, it might even have been the same one as Jaws, so it was one of the smaller screening rooms. There was a quite a few people there though which was nice.

I had been wanting to watch more Hammer Horror films since seeing a documentary on sky arts about it awhile back so I’m glad that the cinema had this one since it was so well done. It did surprise me a bit that most of it was focussed on Victor’s experiments, including reviving a dog (where did it go?) and then getting body parts. (Which, again, surprised me that it was 12A) And the creature only appearing in the last third (ish) of the film.

(It also makes me wonder if this is the film that put in the public imagination that the creature is a mindless lumbering monster. Hopefully the new film dispels that a bit)

I was surprised that Frankenstein’s mentor survived honestly. A few times it felt like Frankenstein would kill him but he didn’t. It did feel a little strange that Frankenstein went from reviving the dog to… make a man, like it felt he was making a leap there between the two instead of just taking the win. But like I said it was all well done and the vibes were pretty great. It probably wasn’t a faithful adaption but what it was still done well. (Apparently it had a limited budget which meant it was filmed largely in one location and they did use it so well despite that)

(It does feel a bit that words have failed me alas)

Next cinema trip is Monday which is gonna be Him and the mystery film. I’m 70% sure it’s Black Phone 2, 30% sure it’s Good Boy. Either is a good option, as it would be an earlier showing than the other Good Boy ones and I am wanting to see Black Phone 2.

Now though I’m gonna snuggle with Midna and watch the Pokémon stream jn a bit.

Rabbit, rabbit! Gotta start the month out right!

According to the dentist, my teeth are mostly fine but another old filling has started to crack so he wants to take it out and put a crown on it. Since I have money in my FSA because I didn't order new glasses, I said let's do it! So as long as he gets the approval from my insurance, I should be having that done on 10/22. I'll probably still have to pay about $500 out of pocket, but that's better than the whole $1500. As always, he marveled about the Maryland bridge I have, which has been in place since 1994; even when I got it, my dentist at the time said it would probably only last 5 years, so it's quite impressive. "Those dentists back then knew what they were doing!" he told me today, and I wanted to be like, "1994 wasn't that long ago," but it was 31 years ago apparently. That just seems wrong.

Anyway, I could barely stay awake on my way home, so I crawled into bed and ended up sleeping for THREE HOURS, which I was not expecting. I will take it though.

I made pancakes for dinner, but as I was mixing up my wet ingredients, I put what I thought was vanilla in the mixing cup, but as soon as I smelled it, I knew it was the wrong bottle. It turned out to be fior di Sicilia, which is lovely and smells like an Italian bakery, but is not what I wanted in my pancakes. Whoops. The vanilla bottle is the same size, so I have now rearranged that shelf so the vanilla remains in front and the fior di Sicilia is back behind a bunch of stuff. I also redid my wet ingredients - it was only an egg and some milk, so not a huge loss to start over.

Now I'm going to watch the new episode of Slow Horses and then later, the season premiere of Abbott Elementary.

I had hoped to do some ficcing and had started things, but again, completely stalled. And my focus has been too off to read anything either.

On the plus side watching stuff has gone better. I largely enjoyed Alien Earth and what I’ve seen of Futurama and Wednesday so far. Plus, yay! Finishing Hell Motel!

The cinema only had two trips, but I did love Honey Don’t so much (as well as Bad Guys2/Thunderbirds).

Also in audios I finished some pretty good stuff (I loved Demons Of Red Lodges mix of one episode stuff, which were all pretty good) and I finished Unlicensed. It’s by the guys that do Night Vale, but it is very different, being much more grounded and about two private detectives, but it was really great.

***

As you can see I didn’t watch Stranger Things as planned Monday, cause mum decided to wake me up by being bitchy (which, of course, she denies), then I spent yesterday in bed with a bad head/achy eyes. So neither was ideal and it’s kinda stalled my week and plans for today.

Tomorrow is a coin flip. It largely depends how I feel when I wake up. If I feel too headachey/woozy I’ll stay home. If not I’ll go to the cinema to see Curse Of Frankenstein. (And speaking of the new Frankenstein trailer looks so good I hope the cinema gets it!)

Pet-sitting over the weekend was ok, not great. Bleu was a good boy and a sweetheart. Brie was fine when we were inside, but once she got out, it took a couple of hours - repeatedly - to coax her back into the house, because even though she was happy to climb into my lap on the couch, she flinched away whenever I stood in the doorway and called her to come in. Even just sitting in a chair and propping the door open and putting down treats to lead her in took a while. So that was not great. Additionally, because of the cat, I had to take a ridiculous amount of allergy medication just to breathe and my throat and chest were itchy the whole time.

On the plus side, the pizza I ordered was delicious!

I took yesterday off and scheduled a grocery delivery, which never arrived. Apparently none of the drivers would take it? I don't know what that even means, but I took that personally. I cancelled the order, and then today, put in an Aldi order which arrived on time and only cost half as much. *hands*

I'm off again tomorrow for a dental appointment. We are battening down the hatches for a govt shutdown at work, but should be okay if it doesn't last too long. Otherwise, there could be furloughs.

I don't know where this headache came from, but I wish it would go away :( I've got another hour left at work and when I get home I need to do some dishes and fold some laundry.

Bribing myself to do the things: if I do the things instead of falling straight into bed when I get home, I can also bake some cheesy biscuits (including the usually-forbidden trip to the store outside of grocery day to get some more butter). We'll see if the lure of cheesy biscuits is enough.

  • Six cat toys, not counting the two she hid in my bed that I didn't find until after the sheets had gone through the dryer (fake feathers meticulously shredded, jute rope unwound into a swallowing hazard, just torn into pieces)

  • One set of window blinds (started by Prowl, enthusiastically helped along by Mirage)

  • One copy of Martin the Warrior by Brian Jacques (pulled off the shelf and the spine disintegrated under inquisitive little claws)

  • My laundry drying rack (frame bent due to either climbing or pulling laundry off it to play with)

  • One sock with a tiny hole in the heel (pulled off the laundry rack and enthusiastically shredded)

  • Three bookmarks (carefully dismantled into little pieces and dragged triumphantly through the apartment)

  • Two fall-themed fake leaf garlands (dragged off shelves and enthusiastically torn apart)

  • As I was typing this, yet another cat toy (shredded)


I'm going to start buying pet toys marketed to large dog owners.

This is one of those posts mostly rambling about various things.

We finished Hell Motel! Yay! Overall the series was pretty good, though there were a few times it felt like people died too close together. But I did like the first episode twist and it was a bold choice to finish on an ep so disconnected from the rest of the series.

It has made me curious about Slasher, so I might start it over spooky season and make it a weekly thing (with an ep or two) though we’ll see.

Yesterday was a lazy kinda day. It was mostly spent watching Murder She Wrote, then half watching Strictly while watching Seapeekay compete in twitch rivals. That was ok though early strictly is immensely long, though I did enjoy a few of the dances.

Then I watched Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue, which was pretty good. It’s about a plane that’s crashed in the Mexican jungle (or forest?) however among the survivors is a killer. And clearly a successful one as, when the plane is found 8 days later there’s 9 bodies of the 10 people on the plane. Who it is and why is gonna be the central mystery. It is funny though, it has the presenter of pottery throw down only she’s doing an American accent and it throws me off so hard.

I’m curious to see how it plays out and it seems mum is too.

On Friday a new film came to shudder, House On Eden. I didn’t watch it release day but did watch it last night. Thoughts under the cut.

Read more... )

Today I watched the next episode of Wednesday and yesss YESSSS it had Tyler shirtless and collared and chained. Thank you whoever decided to have him like that that was hot. A+ work I hope you get a raise.

The ep is mostly a great one not just cause of that. Christopher Lloyd’s cameo role is nice and it addresses one issue I had with season 1 the lack of other teachers. I really hate the new principle. Like wanting Bianca to use her powers and threatening her if she says no? That’s such dickish behaviour.

I do feel another issue from season 1 is gonna raise its head. It’s clear from this ep that Morticia is gonna be around a lot more this season as she’s moved into a cottage on campus. Already I feel unconvinced this will sell us on Catherine Zeta Jones’ performance of her. (However I do love Pugsley’s vibes)

There is also Wednesday’s stalker which uses Saw Like ‘do you want to play a game’type messages. And her chemistry with Enid is unmatched. If only they weren’t cowards and made them a couple. (And I love Enid’s friendship with Thing)

Finally I watched The Savages, after having the blu ray sitting there since it came out and that was…. *checks* March 27th. Damn.

I think I held off cause of the last season plus this is a first Doctor one . Thankfully it is a four parter which is good, because the longer ones are such a slog. Unfortunately the essence of the ep, two groups of people on a planet one exploiting the other, has been done better. The how is an interesting take though, with the essence of the ‘savages’ being used to enrich the elite.

It is just a bit of a talky one, though the animation does make things look nice. Also it is the last ep for Steven and his ending is such an odd one. He essentially get volunteered to stay and it felt he had no real say in it.

Overall it was better than I expected but I as I wasn’t expecting much…

Though it was funny the doctor had a device and he called it a ‘reacting vibrator’.

Tomorrow I’ve got a call which… ugh. I hate the calls they’re needlessly stressful. Since I’m not going to the mystery film I might watch the Stranger Things season 4 finale, but knowing me I won’t.

Then it’s the start of spooky season, deciding if I’ll try kinktober and a cinema trip I’ve still not settled on.

hi, and thank you for taking a look. for the most part, as long as you take the dnws into account i'll probably enjoy whatever you serve up! further wants / likes / dislikes are below the cut, but please don't feel obligated to stick with any of these ideas, these are just things that i think would be cool, which you are more than welcome to use or discard at your leisure. this is the same dear creator letter i've been using for a while, with minor modifications for this exchange. not all requested relationships are listed, and if our matching criteria isn't listed, just assume i'm very easy to please (it's true!)

dnw: underage, infidelity/cheating, rape/non-con, corporal punishment, spanking or corporal punishment, 'jedi are evil/bad/wrong' storylines, unrelieved angst, hurt no comfort, ahsoka having anything more than a crush on anyone during tcw timeline, obikin (even in the background).

art likes: in general, i like bright colours and happy or soft scenes, characters being affectionate with one another whether that's hugging and cuddling or holding hands. i'm more than okay with explicit art if that's the way you decide to go! digital or traditional media are both great <3

fic likes: in general, i love fluff and fix-its, i love happily ever afters. that said. i am also into whump and h/c as long as there is comfort and resolution! and that can be emotional or physical pain! put them through the wringer if that's what you like, just make sure to get some comfort and cuddles in at the end and tell me everything's going to be okay! i love time travel, and alternate universes can be fun too, i just don't like every bad thing in the universe to be the jedi's fault. i love explorations of jedi culture and temple life, at any point in a jedi's life. with aus, i do prefer ones that take place in the star wars universe, as opposed to modern aus or other aus in vastly different universes, but i'm not wholly opposed to modern/fantasy/etc aus. polyamoury is great, and so is communication.
