So the last post I mentioned sorting out the cinema a pass and I was gonna go either today or tomorrow (depending on weather and mood) and I ended up going today. Yipee!

But before I comment on that, I decided last night to check the local cinema last night (the one I usually go to) just to see and… they’re not getting Fantastic 4 till next week at the earliest. Like ???? That’s baffling to me. Sometimes they have had films later than release (like Smile and Sinners) but I never thought they’d do that with a marvel. It makes me glad I got the pass.

So I had a few options today. Fantastic 4 had multiple showings but I was between 10 and 11:45. Then I had the option of either just seeing it or seeing I Know What You Did Last Summer (which had a 12:20 and 3 showing). I didn’t know what I’d go for until this morning. (Mostly cause the weather has been dicey and the forecast said rain was possible)

So I went to the 10 showing of Fantastic 4 and then the 12:20 showing of I Know What You Did Last Summer right after.ten I spent half an hour around town, picking bits mum wanted and got the new SFX and the Starburst Star Wars Episode III issue (that I was sure was out of stores by now). I had hope to get How It Works but I didn’t see it so it was probably tucked away somewhere.

But anyway! Before I go onto the films proper here’s the trailers

The trailers attached to Fantastic 4: First Steps
Odyssey - Honestly I was surprised to see this. I’d heard there was a trailer out but didn’t expect to see it. It doesn’t show too much but honestly? It makes me wanna see it.
Avatar Fire And Ash - It looks really impressive and beautiful but at the same time I’ve not seen the second and I know it would be depressing. In the sense of ‘here’s this beautiful world and here’s humans that wanna trash it again’.
Tron ares - the same trailer I’d seen before, it does look pretty cool though (Evan Peters is apparently in it so I’m curious if he’s in it a lot)
Naked gun - this feels like it was mostly the last trailer of it I saw but there was a few new things. It does look really funny. I might ask mum if she wants to see it when we go to town.

The trailers for I Know What You Did Last Summer
The Long Walk - This is one of those things that looks like it’ll be well done but…. Honestly I hate the concept of it.
Conjuring Last Rites - Honestly I’m not sure if I’ve seen a Conjuring film. I feel I have at some point but I’m not sure. But this did look like it’s really good
Together - Same trailer as before
Bring her back - I’m not sure what to make of this but at least there’s a cute guy
Weapons - I read it was something to do with kids so I didn’t look more into it. But honestly? The trailer left me intrigued. Since I’ve got the pass I may go and see it.

It wouldn’t surprise me if one of those were the mystery film in a few weeks (there’s also one at the end of the month, also a horror film!) but I know there’s a preview showing of Bring Her Back.

Speaking of the mystery film I’m hoping to see Superman before it, but if it’s not showing then (I’ll know next week) I might go and see it next week instead.

But anyway! Film thoughts. Obviously it’s the first day and this may have spoilers so please avoid if you’re avoiding them! However if you are going to see there is a mid credits scene and there’s also a small thing at the end of the credits (though only the mid credits one is important).

( Read more... )

Has anyone seen either I’m curious what other people thought.

And now non film thoughts, well non these films anyway.

It’s comic con and yesterday there was already interesting things.
*The Lego Game Boy got revealed and it has a Link’s Awakening cart and screens!
*A new V/H/S is coming this year! V/H/S - Halloween and that title alone makes me hyped. I hope there’s a trailer soon
*Theres a Stranger Things dnd thing themed on the campaign Eddie is running which sounds so cool
*I jus saw the new FNAF film trailer has been posted so I’ll watch soon

Also yay I finished a fic! So hopefully that block has shifted. I do need to find a copy of The Loved Ones from somewhere for research though.

And Hell Of A Summer is finally on Amazon prime, alas it’s a paid thing so hopefully there’ll be one of those discount things they put out randomly.

Right now, besides some other stuff, my main writing focus are two events on a discord server I'm a part of: 5k and tfthy (the fic that haunts you).

The 5k event

5k is an event where you write a fanfic set in an alternative universe and that is not over 5k. It's a very simple event that lasts for the month of August when it comes to posting for it (you can write it whenever you want not just during August). Last year I missed this event as I wasn't really a part of the server until the last few days of August so I didn't have the time to join it nor was I following the bluesky and tumblr accounts enough to know when it was happening.

I have quite a few Ideas for this event, but the main one I'm working on right now is an umamusume alvaluca fic, set in the universe of umamusume game. This would also be the first time I'm writing a genderbend, as umas are all girls, meaning Luca would have to be a girl in this setting. This isn't something I explored much before so it's a fun thing to do. Having a lot of fun with it.

Next idea I have for this event is a dol au, this time with Ivy and Emma. Essentially, recreating the scene in the forest when the player in the game dived to get a lichen for their school project, only to get caught by the Ivory Wraith. I thing this fits both Ivy and Emma, so it's my choice for the next fic in my idv dol au series.

Last but not least, a mha fic set in an omegaverse au with some general changes to the main story because i said so. The ship is Overhaul/Setsuno, I haven't written them in so long. I haven't written anything related to that fandom in so long so it's nice to return to it now, for the first time ever, as I normally do not return to old fandoms when it comes to writing fanfics.

Tfthy

This is a very unique event. You have to pick a fic that you haven't touched in over a year that haunts you. You want to finish it, but you don't know how. You always thing about it, but never have the chance to make yourself finish it. It's like a ghost that's behind you all the time. Event lasts from September to November, so there's quite a lot of time for me to write the fic.

For this, I've decided to pick a My Hero Academia fic I originally wrote two chapters in 2019 and posted them, with another one done in 2020 but never finished or posted online. I fell out of the fandom in that point in time and was more interested in Bungou Stray Dogs. I also changed my ao3 accounts at that point in time, so after a certain point I just never looked at my old one until relatively recently when I orphaned everything and deleted it.

My goal for the event is to rewrite the original 2 chapters and then finish the fic if possible. It was an Overhaul/Setsuno fic (yes, another one) and the old writing is not that good, including how I wrote the characters at that point in time (i was 17/18 back then. I am now 23)..I might link the old fic once I'm done with it, but for now I won't be showing it anywhere. As of now, I'm on chapter 4, meaning I rewrote the first 2 chapters. I'm very happy with how that's going, as it has been so long since the last time I visited this fandom so it felt nice to see the characters again as an slightly older adult and see how I write them now.

Overall very happy so far. There are some other smaller events I want to work on later in the year, but for now these are my main focus. This is not counting zine works, which are separate for me. Hopefully everything will go as planned!

I'm working on an early draft of my

justmarriedexchange fic, while still also working on my multi-chapter Palia WIP. This is in between drafts of a still-secret origfic project. I had toyed with the idea of submitting to IFComp (despite my first foray being, uh, less than ideal), but the truth is, I have plenty on my plate, right now.

In reading news, ( I am still reading. )

I've also been rewatching Spy x Family on Netflix, and I went back and watched Code: White, too. Weirdly, the dub for that seems to have different voice actors. Netflix doesn't have that big of a library, and sometimes I'm tempted to reactivate my Crunchyroll account.

Maybe I should make a note of what I read, so they don't all blur into one.

Recently (in the last two weeks):

The Masquerades of Spring, by Ben Aaronovitch
A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, by T.Kingfisher
Nettle and Bone, by T. Kingfisher
Rose/House by Arkady Martine
Grandmother's Secrets by Rosina-Fawzia al Rawi

(1) is a novella in the Rivers of London series about Isaac Newton's line of British official government wizards. Starring Thomas Nightingale in a rare trip abroad to visit 1920s New York and hunt down the maker of an enchanted saxophone.

Very Bertie Wooster dancing the Charleston in a gay club, and it's the novella that reveals Nightingale to be asexual. A rare win for the aces :)

(2) is a children's book in which a young wizard whose only gift is for working with dough is forced to find out exactly what she can do with it when her kingdom is in peril.

It's very well written - the plot escalates smoothly and it keeps you reading without being too busy or hectic. The prose is powerful but doesn't intrude. I enjoyed it but didn't really connect emotionally.

(3) follows a slow and unworldly (third, spare, novice nun) princess as she makes/finds allies in a quest to rescue her sister from the sister's husband. He is the prince of a neighbouring, much more powerful kingdom, and having murdered their elder sister is now abusing the middle sister.

I enjoyed this one much more for its blend of realistic dynastic politics and weird wizardly powers. I liked the characters more too, and they combined with the excellent workmanship of the author in a way I almost had feels about. (Not quite - my feels don't get engaged much any more, sadly.)

(4) A dead man turns up inside a hermetically sealed house run by a powerful AI, and a detective goes inside the house to try to solve the murder. This turns out to be a mistake. I enjoyed Arkady Martine's Teixcalaan series (A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation Called Peace) so I thought I might enjoy this too.

I am finding it haunting, and I appreciate her attempts to construct intelligences that are not human, but this one feels a bit like there is no plot, just an experience. And it's not a particularly pleasant experience. Rose House is not a particularly likeable character, even if its murder was in self defense. (Or was it?)

(5) A non-fiction book, partially a treatise on the origin of belly dancing and partially an autobiography.

I appreciated this as coming from within the culture where raqs sharqi originated, and it is a beautiful memoir of the author growing up with the dance. It was interesting to think of it as a private, indoors thing done by the women of the household chiefly for each other

Okay, I just finished revamping my website so it looks neat, and I also added a Landmine/NG section so people can understand my squicks. Feel free to visit the site here!

Also, I just logged into my JP Umamusume account because I wanted to roll for Goddess Statues to uncap my Mambo to 3-star.

And Jesus Christ... I’m scared of my luck. I'm happy I got Ace and Fusapan, though.

On the other hand, I’m really annoyed with some Umamusume global fans spreading misinformation about the real-life horses. Hhhhh.

Lately, I've been hitting gym for this last 1-2 month, although my I didn't loss that much weight but I still continuing it because somehow I feel my body is a bit lighter & easy to move?

Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This batch features hobbies.

Hairstyling is a hobby that includes cutting, braiding, and related accessories such as wigs or hair jewelry. It all depends on what you what looks you wish to create. Like makeup, it varies a great deal depending on your human canvas -- African or other curly hair textures require different techniques than straight or wavy hair.

Temporary Work
By Dialecticdreamer/Sarah Williams
Part 1 of 1, complete
Word count (story only): 1209
[Saturday, 5 August, 2017, 1 p.m.]

:: LaQuinta is restless in her new living quarters, so she goes looking for work without her Surrey. Things become complicated fairly quickly. Part of the Unfair Trades arc in Mercedes, within the Polychrome Heroics universe. ::

LaQuinta stared around the interior of the converted schoolbus, called a ‘skoolie’ though that insulted both the bus’ origins and the education of anyone who repeated the term. She sniffed, surprised to smell cedar. Leaning close to the light-colored paint, she shook her head. Standing on the sofa, she brought her face close to the wooden strips on the ceiling and laughed.

When she stepped down, she quickly smoothed the cushion and checked the surface for dirt. The whole place, contained in a forty-foot schoolbus, was a bit larger than the motel room converted into emergency housing for earthquake refugees, felt very, very different.

When I first started writing, I would get comments about how things I'd written were "so funny." This perplexed, confused, and annoyed me, because most of these times I wasn't trying to be funny. But after a while I realized that this was just sort of how my writing came out — even when I'm trying to be totally serious, I often still end up slipping little funny bits in, and when I'm not trying to be totally serious. . . well, you end up with things like this conversation that I wrote last night, and that I'm particularly amused by:

Lily lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling. After a while, she rolled over to look at Jiwoo, who was lying on her bed, watching a drama on her laptop. “So how long do we have to pretend to be dating?”

Jiwoo laughed, then paused her drama and turned to look at Lily. “‘Have to’? You really know how to make a girl feel wanted!”

Lily tossed a throw pillow at Jiwoo. “You know what I mean!” she said teasingly.

“Who knows?” Jiwoo teased back, her eyes sparkling. “Maybe we decide to end it next week. . . or maybe we end up pretending to date for so long that we end up pretending to get married and then we pretend to have kids and end up pretending to live happily ever after.”

“Pretend to have kids?” Lily asked. “How would that even work?”

Jiwoo shrugged. “I don’t know,” she said. “But we’ve got plenty of time to figure it out. Before we do that, we’ll have to pretend to get married, and before we can do that, you’ve got to pretend to propose to me.”

“I’ve got to?” Lily asked. “Why wouldn’t you pretend to propose to me?”

Jiwoo raised an eyebrow skeptically and scoffed as she looked at Lily and said “Because you’re older than me, so obviously people would expect you to pretend to propose to me. If I pretend to propose to you, it’ll look like I’m pretending to tie you down because I’m not really sure that you pretend to love me.”

Lily laughed. “Should I be worried that this is starting to make sense?”

I had been short listed for my weird west thing but didn't make it in. I'm sad. I loved those girls. There is another weird west open call but the pay is low and I am not feeling it. Sigh. Had one for my watery colonial monster but that open call doesn't want historicals. Sigh. Sometimes it's hard to feel appreciated as an author that's for sure.

So have the book thing

What I Just Finished Reading:

Cinders of Yesterday - Buffy/Supernatural vibes, urban fantasy, lesbian partners (by a queer author) really liked this. It was set up for a second book but I don't see any yet. Maybe she'll be at the Gettysburg Steampunk con again

Zero at the Bone - an old true crime not badly written saggy in the middle

The Crossing Places - really a good mystery but my god the fat shaming in this

Victoria's Electric Coffin #3 - I had no idea this was gonna end in 3 books but in some ways I like that

What I am Currently Reading:

War Child - a Deep Space Nine Novel lackluster like most Star Trek books

The Wood - an urban fantasy I literally lost under my bed for years

Dark and Dangerous Journey - WWII mystery arc

What I Plan to Read Next:

Pantomine - an LGBT (intersexed main character) fantasy, I like it but i'm shelving it for a bit
