Apparently I moved into my flat 2 years ago today! That time has gone very quickly! I still love living here, even if solo living gets a little lonely at times.

Popped to my Dads today and managed to dig out a huge chunk of my graphic novel/tpb collection from his shed, including my favourites which I though were lost/destroyed: The complete Peter Parker story for Ultimate Spider-man! I can’t wait to re-read these!!

I’m hosting some animation workshops at a local arts festival today! I’m very excited about it but it’s definitely going to be a true test of my social anxiety! Hoping the ADHD hyper focus means I just won’t notice! Wish me luck!

TF and TF-adjacent friends, I hope you all have a great time at TFN Manchester!

Ohhhhhh! Thats my Blokees Spider-man series 2 retail case on the way then!

Today I was Smyths toys, stood next to a group looking through the marvel figures whilst checking stock on their phone. They ended up grabbing a member of staff who checked the back, then came back to help them look… For the Daredevil: Born Again Punisher figure… That was in my hand…

So the HP show trailer is out. I used to like HP, read all the books, loved the movies and even applied for a tour guide job at the studio, but have avoided it since Joanne started her bullshit. I caught a glimpse of the new trailer and it just looks exactly the same as the movies? Who is this for?

Back in 2005 I began living a straight edge lifestyle, a punk subculture based on no alcohol, smoking or illegal/harmful drugs. In 2025 I celebrated 20 years of this lifestyle and today I cemented this by getting a new tattoo! Almost at 21 years edge and counting, I’m now a hand tattoo person!

I’m getting tattooed today!

Electrician has finished so I can finally leave the house!

Got an electrician here sorting out my supposedly illegal plastic fusebox so I’m without power for up to 6 hours, which is just neat. It’s also overcast so very little bright light getting in so I can’t even read all that easily. A dilemma indeed!

I simply had to change up my cinema board to quote one of my favourite movies!

Holy cow, I’m getting tattooed on Wednesday!

It’s a vintage toy grails, taking my self out for lunch and selfies kind of a day. Social anxiety is peaking so once I’ve run my errands I’m going home to hide under a blanket…

Blokees Spider-man series 2 ordered!! Whoop! Excited for these to arrive! I may have also ordered the Blokees Marvel Rivals Spider-man 6in kit too…

YES PLEASEEEEEE

I’m holding off on viewing these clips so I can just watch the full Spidey Trailer tomorrow, but one of the things I’m liking with the tiny bits I’m seeing is that his costume moves and feels like actual fabric that bunches and wrinkles, rather than the weird CGI smoothness of the other movies!

I can’t remember if I ever posted this, but here is my lightly customised/modified ITSV Spider-man figure! I shaved his hip ball joints and his torso to allow more movement, and I added a wash into the web line recesses to make the webs pop a little more! It really adds to this underrated figure!

It’s been a while, so here’s a mini figure photography thread! First up, it’s Marvel Legends Spider-Venom! A solid figure on my favourite body type, but his chest ball joint is super tight, I’m worried about snapping it. He looks cool as hell! The chain accessory takes up tons of space though! 1/2

Picked up this awesome Spider-Venom figure today, I’ve not read the comics he’s from but I love the new take on the black Spidey suit! This chain accessory though, how the shit are you supposed to display this?

If you see this, post a robot!

Got my hair cut so I’m currently in the small window where I feel ok about myself! Win.

Post a great photo of a musician

A work colleague just brought me in some trainers, he bought them a while ago and went off them, never worn, still had the cardboard in the toe caps! They’re so sick, they’ll definitely be my summer shoes!

Not entirely sure how much of a chance these Guardsman have against my Black Templars…

I had an obsession with the movie Hackers in my teens, I just thought it was the coolest, these counterculture kids sticking it to the man via the medium of 90s computers! The scene of them all getting excited about a 28.8kbps modem is especially funny nowadays!

New tattoo booked! I’m very much excited to get tattooed again, it’s been far too long! This one is a meaningful one too.

I posted some of my signed comics yesterday, but I don’t think I’ve ever shown these off publicly! First, Spider-man Manga #1 signed by Skottie Young and one of my prized possessions, Spider-man/X-Force #16 signed by Stan Lee!

I just found a ton of signed comics I salvaged from my Dad’s house! It’s mostly IDW Transformers stuff, but I did find some gems in there, like Superior Spider-man 20 signed by Dan Slott, Astonishing Tales 2 signed by Dan Goodbrey, Herobear 1 signed by Mike Kunkel, and holy crap is that Tara Strong?

Holy crap! I just found it!! Can’t wait to get this in frame and hung up!

I had a Spider-man/Black Cat variant cover comic signed by @danslott.bsky.social in around 2014/2015 somewhere, I have absolutely no idea where it is now, and that makes me sad.

£3 charity shop bookcase? Don’t mind if I do!

Been to visit my Dad in his care home, ended up in some mugger tunnels. Didn’t get mugged because I’m so hard* *It was deserted

What the shit is this?

I think my electricity meter might be as frustrated as I am… 😂😂😂

Love that @danhausen.bsky.social

At 15, I was officially the 3rd best paperboy in the UK after winning the bronze award at the National Federation of Retail Newsagents Streetwise Awards. The grand final involved a walk around the set of UK Soap Opera ‘Coronation Street’ pointing out potential hazards, and a written portion.

Extremely disappointed that a retro gaming shop I’ve used many times has been using AI Slop on their social media and doubling down on anyone who’s calling them out for it, comparing it to emulation and shopping elsewhere? Cool, guess I’ll shop elsewhere then?

Back to work after a week of annual leave and I’ve had literally zero sleep. Today’s gonna be loooooong…

Finally on my train home, it’s been an amazing day that’s done absolute wonders for my mental health! I’m knackered now though, I’ll post some pictures when I get home!

Hmm.. I don’t think so

Headed to London for the Aardman exhibition at the Young V&A! I’m very excited, and I have no idea what I’m doing with my face in the picture…

Oh wow, I’ve been approved to hold some animation workshops at a local ‘have a go arts festival’ in March! Now, what am I gonna actually do?

Been at my Dads 2 days in a row sorting and moving bits and pieces I don’t want to lose when his house is gutted and deep-cleaned, which surprisingly isn’t as much as I’d thought! One more day to grab stuff tomorrow and no more full mousetrap jumpscares! Anyone want to help massage my sciatica?

Been sorting stuff out at my Dads all day and I’m knackered, I did manage to sort the majority of my stuff to try to get out of his before the deep clean begins! Ordered pizza because I can’t be bothered to cook tonight!

I painted a Land Raider Redeemer! It’s pretty rough in places but overall I’m very happy with how it turned out, and will make a very powerful impact on the tabletop! #Warhammer #minipainting #Wargaming #SpaceMarines

Movies you were shown in school! *The Mummy (Brendan Frasier) *All Quiet on the Western Front *Flatliners *Ghost *Baz Luhrman’s Romeo & Juliet *Shrek *Hook

Oh, the grand old duke of york He ██████████████████ He ██████████████████ And he ██████████████████

I’m gonna get back to some figure photography soon, does anyone have anything they’d be interested in seeing?

I kinda hate how much of a cheap feeling easy part-repaint/minor retooling this figure is. Do I still kinda want it though? Also yes.
