Do you want to hear me read the opening chapter from my upcoming fantasy adventure novel This Is Where The Future Bleeds, then talk nonsense? YOU CAN!

No context, I just know somebody needs a laugh. Or a new night terror demon, duality of man or some shit.

Look what I got, Project Hanuman by @stewarthotston.com gonna get my teeth into this this evening. But I bet it'll be magnificent. #BookMail #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Slept through my alarm, thought I started work at 9am (I start at 8am). So I rang in and took the day today. It'll cost me, but given I normally run like clockwork where work is concerned. Well I'll take the rest, before it takes me and something daft happens.

PSA

Don't do this, don't ever fucking do this.

Said blunt falchion by Blue Dog Forge out of Carlisle. It was intended to be a Conyers Falchion, but the spec was a bit off. So it became a slightly shorter lighter one. The Conyers Falchion is likely what the Vorpal blade from the Jabberwocky was based on. #Hema #Swordcialists

On Monday I'll have a Falchion on its way. And fuck I'm excited, gods I love a Falchion something so brutal yet elegant about them.

My pre-order of Project Hanuman by @stewarthotston.com comes soon, excited to finally read something of yours. Enjoyed having a bit of a chat with you at Brighton. Gods that coat you showed on your phone was beautiful! amzn.eu/d/4Somx5w

Serving size per 100g is wild, do you think I'm not eating the entire bag? I'm a ravenous feral thing at the best of times but when I'm hungry? Nah just tell the values per the whole fucking thing 🤣

@tfrohock.com Hi Occult mom, hope you and yours are well? 🖤

The freedom that is breaking the chains that autistic burnout had me in is just, euphoric. The world has colour again, and I feel energetic, inspired, happy and free. There was a very brief but insightful conversation that I think really cut to the core of why I felt so disconnected.

Not even a god fearing man, but that's a fucking good line.

Jesus fucking Christ, pro tip? Don't spray aftershave, then touch your fucking eye with the same finger immediately after.

Still punk I say as I consider a pizza and all the dairy and face down the trots so have to eat a handful of lactase tablets.

Fucking love it when I've done my due sword maintenance and she looks bright and shiny again.

@annaclark.bsky.social @annaclark.bsky.social personal messaged you some videos and such :D

But less negativity. I had an absolutely magical last few days with amazing people, enough whiskey to kill an average person, fucking sublime food, shenanigans, great banter and got to meet some old friends again and solidify friendships with others. 'It's not fucking funny' oh it was.

Another pet peeve? Don't be on your fucking phone in public on loudspeaker. The chaotic goblin in me wants to just start screeching like the devil himself has my bollocks in a vice to teach said people to never do it again. (I'm sure there are exceptions, but it's a choice to do that)

@annaclark.bsky.social Just wanted to say it was lovely to see you again mate, hope you had a good time 😁🖤

That said it's been a lovely journey in stark contrast to the fucking ballache that was getting to Brighton. Sun's out, got to compliment the bus driver on her lovely brass hair clip thing that reminded me of a Roman laurel crown. I always love to give a compliment and brighten someone's day.

Pet peeve? I'm sat at waiting on a bus and there are no smoking signs fucking everywhere. Within three feet of me is a guy smoking, I took the walk to the smoking area. Say one thing for Tom, say he doesn't force others to smoke when he does if he can help it.

I really enjoy bus travel, and trains tbh. But why the fuck must buses in particular often be hotter than the 7th circle of hell. Sweating like two rats fucking in a wool sock here.

Emma is awesome, her patreon is well worth a look and she writes with such heart, emotion and depth. #Writingcommunity #BookSky bsky.app/profile/slas...

Sat here listening to music at 00:52 and smiling wide as I think on the antics of my time with people who I adore and feeling so fucking blessed to know the fucking sublime human beings I get to call my friends, some of which are very much my chosen family. Find your tribe, hold them tight, be kind.

On route to Heathrow central bus station, then from there to Brighton. So far stress free.

Looking forward to being battered by @slashnburnett.bsky.social and @phokion.bsky.social tomorrow evening too. For context we have swords and a hall for Hema, I might surprise myself. But I'll keep expectations low, then I can be pleasantly surprised 😂

Got nice earrings that don't annoy me a lot to wear too, long enough to be noticeable and nice. Without being irritating.

Got new patches to sew on later this evening, excitement is going to make it hard for me to sleep anyway. May as well add a sharp needle to the mix 🤣

I have new socks, always a risk with the tism. But they are not tight on my calf and I can't feel the stitch across the top of the toe. Fucking magic, now to hope they last. But then I walk between 7 and 10 miles or so most working days, so I've gotta be realistic. £15 for ten pairs though, deal.

Last shift today and then I'm not back until the 10th of next month. Long needed a break, so I'll be glad for that.

@c3jb.bsky.social How's things brother? Been a long while.

Since I have some people here but on other socials. Had to take a week off sick, I'd planned on being at Bristolcon and Brighton for World Fantasycon. But due to the money lost I couldn't afford both so I won't be at Bristolcon this year. But it's annual so I'll be at Bristolcon next year.

I have a Todesca, and after about an hour swinging it about in the garden I can say it's everything I thought it would be, light, responsive, nimble and beautiful. Now she needs a name, but that'll come in time. #Hema #Swordcialists

Just to make it clear I'm alive and here, and well. I've just been busy and honestly approaching burnout at times, with work and life. Understand I'm sincerely fine, I've got ten days off soon, a little over that I plan to spend very productively and also in great company.

I really do love overnight oats, but all the chewing makes me feel like a donkey. Arguably one who has eaten and doesn't become full of rage before lunch, which is nice. As I'm not above kicking someone and laughing about it when I'm hungry, either.

Been slacking on the Thursday and Saturday posts lately, life's been manic. But I'll pick it up again Sat onwards.

I both love and hate waking up so early, it's quiet and peaceful, but I also don't have much to do.
