In my last posts I described the start and progression of my tadpole adventures. Here's the next instalment.

As soon as the tadpoles started growing legs they changed rapidly. Within days the kinda dopey goldfish behaviour, like nibbling around the surface of the water, disappeared, they became very elusive and shy. Almost like as soon as they started thinking about being predators they realised they were also prey. It was a bit sad, because I really enjoyed watching them, but also necessary for them to become wild frogs. I was glad that I hadn't spoiled them for life on their own.

So I’m back home after today’s trip.

I ended up leaving at 9:30 which felt early enough since most stores in Birmingham didn’t open up until 11. The train was really busy which surprised me. It was standing room only by the second stop which was crazy. (I just read some of the Doctor Who chronicles I had).

In Birmingham I went to the Forbidden Planet by the station. Mum hoped they’d have the Hei Hei bag she’s been wanting (so I could get pics for her) but alas no. They did have some Star Wars graphic novels on offer and I got 3 - Star Wars Quests Of The Force, Bounty Hunters - Bedlam On Bestine and Obi-Wan - A Jedi’s Pirpose. They all sound pretty good (even though I’ve not read any of the other bounty hunters or recent Star Wars issues) and quite a bargain for under £10 (they’re usually more than that each).

Then I went to the entertainer which was my main stop and I built the little bantha there! He’s so cute but you’ll see him later. I also got to see one smart play set in action, more on that later.

I went in hmv just to look around. I completely forgot if there was anything to look for. I also went in m and s and got mroe red velvet hot cross buns (oop).

I went in the Lego store to check out the new sets and they had smart play stuff (again more on that later). They also had the Pokémon sets on display. My fav is still the Eevee, the big set is impressive but over £500 is crazy.

I had a quick wander around, though Primark, Smiths and cex were a bust. (Again where are the Stranger Things stickers?) from the other Forbidden Planet I got some comics, 2 exquisite Corpses issues (Ineed to read the ones I got when I went to the hospital oop), the new Smile comic and two black series sets: master Vernestra from The Acolyte and Dagan Gera and a cool BX droid from Jedi Survivor (just look at them!). (Which I need to go back on sometime I got distracted from it. I’ve not even seen him yet in game but he’s hot and his fit is cool.

Tk I got another Christie book but almost didn’t cause it’s Seven Dials, one of the ones I’ve read but the cover is cool.

I did go back to Lego before getting the train and it’s here I’m gonna say my thoughts on the smart brick.

I mostly saw interaction with two things, the X-Wing and Vader’s TIE. I did like the enguine sounds they made and the blaster fire when you pressed the button/switch (respectively) and the R2 noise was cool. The downside is, of course, the ‘voices’ for Luke which sounded terrible and robotic. I alway wish we’d got to hear other things, Lego had the throne room duel and the turret from the fighters, but didn’t show how the brick sounded when interacting them. I guess we’ll see when reviewers do it. (I still say the cantina set looks pretty nice.)

So it does seem the brick is much better for effects then anything else. But it is an expensive gimmick and the buttons/switches/tiles are all quite garish in bright red. The main issue is the price. The smart brick x-wing has a lot of stuff to it, but it’s still £20 more than the new republic x-wing from the mandalorian and Grogu which looks cooler and more complete. So yeah I’m waiting on reviews to have the full other sounds, but I’m not gonna get smart play stuff unless there’s a discount.

I was all peopled out so decided to come home instead of seeing Hoppers (it was also cause of the train and showing times being pretty bad). It’s no bother really I know they’ll be plenty of time to see it. So I just read some Heated Rivalry, then nommed sushi when I got home and watched traitors ireland.

Tonight I’m gonna watch the pottery throw down, mock the week and then… I dunno. I guess it depends on mood and tiredness. (Maybe fic or something)

But I end on this!

addme

Name: C.K. or Chester

Age: 36, nearly 37, growing old mandatory, growing up optional

I mostly post about: Culture Club/Boy George & Jon Moss (my hyperfixation of 22 years and counting), Linkin Park, wrestling (classic SMW/WWF, Jim Cornette, and my deeply cursed WWE 2K25 Universe), my OCs who are realer to me than most people, witchcraft/spirit work/folk healing/moon rituals/grief magic, retro gaming, emotional overshares that read like journal entries from a possessed poet, fanfiction that makes people unwell at 2am, chaos, and the occasional Reddit food rabbit hole

My hobbies are: Writing fic that's 70% emotional breakdown, 20% worldbuilding, and 10% people getting railed in a meaningful way, hexing cults with sigils and sass, collecting music like a religion, drawing OCs, being a haunted glitter goblin with eyeliner and vengeance, building 48-year fanfiction universes with fully documented timelines and named children, going to work like a normal person and coming home a completely different entity

My fandoms are: Culture Club (I'm writing a massive AU called Colour By Numbers spanning 1978-2026, and a supernatural [not the show] fic called The Rhythm of the Hollow), Linkin Park (Bennoda forever), wrestling (SMW/WWF/WCW but mainly the universes in my head)

I'm looking for people who: are too weird for Reddit, too raw for Instagram, too smart for Twitter/X, overshare about their OCs like a religion, cry over character development, understand that Jon Moss deserved better, write long posts, and don't find it weird that I've named all the children in my fictional universe including the surprise baby

My posting schedule: Erratic. Sometimes a lot. Sometimes I vanish for three weeks and return with an entire AU timeline and a new OC

Dealbreakers: Racism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, antisemitism, being a dick, Scientology apologists, anyone who thinks Mike Shinoda is evil because of an Instagram reel, "isn't wrestling fake?", "you still like Linkin Park?"

Before adding me: I'm a trans man (he/him, they/them). Autistic and ADHD. I write mpreg unapologetically. I am a Zionist and tired of explaining what that actually means. Pro-AI. I smoke weed. I am extremely defensive of Jon Moss and will write essays about it. My AO3 is CampCornette69 and yes that's a wrestling reference

So it’s already the last day of February what the fuck? Where has the time gone?

I’ve still neither done, nor read the stuff I love posts (oops) I had thought to yesterday but time kinda got away for me. However I bring it up cause the one I did do (about standalone films) made me wanna watch some of them.

The first, which I disc switch to a few days back (I can’t recall when exactly) was Dungeons And Dragons Honour Among Thieves, which I watched not long after the last post.

And yes, I can confirm it’s still a top tier movie. It’s just so fun and funny and it looks incredible (so much of the effects are practical) and Xenk is so handsome. Again it has made me sad there’s not a follow up or anything, but then again it works so well on its own (though I would love to see Xenk some more,

i also found out that the music is done by the same guy that did the music for The War Between The Land And The Sea (and Wallace And Gromit Vengeance Most Fowl!)

(Other films I wanna rewatch soon are Event Horizon, Clown In The Cornfield, Wildhood and Spree)

I woke early Friday which was annoying (especially as the loud noises started soon after) but I was glad to hear the news that the Greens won the by election! Labour had acted like it was a two horse race between them and reform and yet both were beaten (and sizeably too!) of course it looks like labour leadership aren’t going to learn anything from this defeat (they’re already sending out more smears and comminting to continuing being awful) but I do feel hope again anyway.

Friday was also Pokémon day which is the 30th anniversary of Pokémon (which makes me feel ancient). I did fish out a Pokémon tee to wear (with ghost Pokémon) and I finally watched an episode of Pokémon concierge which is really cute so far! I love the art style to it and I hope to watch more soon.

There was a new Poke on Presents, which if anyone hasn’t seen it tends to be a mix of stuff we know, coming events, stuff for the mobile games and then the genuinely good stuff at the end. One cute thing was a Pokémon music player which is shaped like a lil game boy! The downside? The music is on cartridges (like game boy games) and there’s… 47 of them. What??

Of the new announcements Gale Of Darkness is being added to the GameCube player, which is great cause I never played it and always wanted to (it was rare and so prices went insane). There was also more info on Pokopia, with a dj rotom that plays music, a reveal of electricity to power things and a few more Pokémon shown. The fact that it has electricity makes me really curious what sort of contraptions could be made. So much of what was shown was early game I’d not even considered ti a possibility.

Lastly! The new Pokémon games are called Winds And Waves and it looks gorgeous! It’s so beautiful and really shows off the power of the switch 2. It did show off the new starters which look cute! I’m torn between the Fire and Water ones. It’s not coming out till next year which is a long way off but I’m sure it’ll be worth it.

In the night Resident Evil Requiem came, though I didn’t go on it until after The Last Leg (so 11). I only did the first section with Grace but damn. It really looks so incredible on the switch 2. I played for about an hour, doing her opening section and the first cut scene of Leon’s (ahhh he looks so hot!) I do have minor thoughts (under the cut just in case but it super spoilery?)

( Read more... )

Ihave decided I’m gonna try and go tomorrow to Birmingham. I’m thinking of just wandering around (including checking TK for more Agatha books though I doubt it), look at the Lego Pokémon in the Lego store and pop in a few other places.i have considered doing a Birmingham trip before, stopping off at the cinema on the way back, so this might be it.

Alas there’s not much showing at the cinema. Most of the screenings are for Wuthering Heights (I’m not fussed about but I’ve heard bad things), Scream (I wasn’t going to see but I’ve heard equally bad things), an Elvis concert thing (eh)and Hoppers (for a preview weekend. Hoppers is the one I’ll probably see but it depends how I feel and if things line up. (goat is an alternate possibility but there’s fewer showings). Part of me does wanna go for a rewatch of Cold Storage but I doubt I will, at least this time.

If I don’t see hoppers, well it’ll be on for weeks anyway (I might see it with The Bride in a few weeks.

Now I’m gonna have noms, try and do fall guys event thing and then… maybe fic, maybe watch Heated Rivalry. (I’m not sure I’ll go on Requiem but we’ll see)

I went to the cemetery today and it was the first warm day of spring - even the wind was warm, and all the birds were going absolutely nuts, they were so loud. The snowdrops are in full bloom everywhere and they look so incredibly lovely against the leaf litter.
