Life is requiring a lot of brain power right now, and the only thing clearing the sludge has been these black space experiments.

Having to read people comparing M3GAN 2.0 to Terminator 2 makes me fear we will indeed be overtaken by AI. And, instead of Sarah Connor defending us we’ll have an army of sympathisers.

Some advice from a Scottish person for any producers setting a production in Scotland. If you intend to cast people from outside Scotland in a role with a Scottish accent please hire an accent coach who is actually Scottish themselves because these accents in Dept Q are very distracting.

We won a pub quiz for the second week running last night and I feel like I’ve reached the pinnacle of accomplishment in my life. Turns out @mothsprimkle.bsky.social, @sagalauren.bsky.social, James and I make a great team — and together together we are… The Sherlock Homos. 🕵️

Having watched #TLOU Season Two finale I have to admit my fears were cemented of it being a diluted version of Part Two. And, I know, it's a long game and it's an adaptation, but it feels very much like the creators were scared to put the darkness on a television screen instead of a gaming one.

Rewatching (well, it's on in the background) Pretty Little Liars reminds me of just how perfectly ridiculous that show was. From the storylines to the fashion to the editing choices it was all performed with just the right mix of dedication and understanding.

A common occurrence happens every time I read a new @mariwriter.bsky.social book in that my surroundings match the colours of the cover art. This time the highlands of Scotland on the banks of Loch Morlich.

Everyone loved Joel/Pedro Pascal, yet every week I’m faced with articles about #TLOU and how Bella Ramsey isn’t Ellie enough, or how Isabella Merced has changed the story of the game to make Dina more important, or how Kaitlyn Dever is, well, Abby - I wonder what the connecting thread could be…

Maybe I’ve streamed too many hours of Blue Prince play-throughs because when I walked over a dirt pile in the middle of an Edinburgh street my brain went “wait you missed a dig spot” before quickly remembering where I was and done what I could to pretend I was normal.

I’m bored of the is Kaitlyn Dever built to play Abby debate? As if she’s being reduced to what her body tells us. But, wait, of course it does, she’s a woman. How she looks tells us more than the words she says, the emotions she gives as she protects - not kills - in #TLOU Part 2, right? *sighs*

How #TLOU HBO series continues to honour Ashley Johnson makes me heart happy. There was no more emotionally fitting way to mark THAT episode than her version of Through the Valley from TLOU Part 2 Covers and Rarities EP as the ending scores.

Falling asleep with a stream of Blue Prince on Twitch while having musical theatre songs stuck in my head meant waking up from a dream where I was in a maze of different productions which included a version of Oliver with Olivia Coleman and Les Mis with a dog..?

Is it Thursday yet? Well, actually... Four years ago the realms of TTRPGs were foreign to me. But, thanks to TLOU and discovering Ellie & Abby were on this dnd series together my life changed. I made friends, I started writing, and I discovered the world of fanart and illustration. #criticalrole

Try every month.

My wife’s better than your wife - or anyone else really.

You know yesterday was #worldautismawarenessday. I knew this but never said anything. Last year I said something, had no response, and deleted said post. I guess people who aren’t figuring themselves out don’t understand the duality of emotions when we share something personal.

Anyone for some MAK (@mika.rip @ashleyroboto.com & @katskratchh.bsky.social) R.E.P.O art albeit before they went and changed up their cosmetics? It helped remove my creative block at least for a few hours maybe it can yours.

Imagine if anyone in the last two seasons of #RHOBH - who believes Kyle is questioning her sexual orientation - sat down with her and said they empathise with her having to go through this confusing time in the public eye when it’s no-one’s right to know until she does and decides to share it.

Sometimes I wonder if there’s a more proof I need that I’m autistic and then I realise I’ve been listening to different performances of the exact same song on repeat for an hour.

People being unable to appreciate cool cinematography in shows because they don’t have 100% dialogue throughout is why we have so much shovelware equivalent media bro oh my lord 😭

10 years ago, Amsterdamn happened #RHOBH

My friend brought her copy of The Chronicles of Exandria Part Two to our theatre group tonight. It’s one thing to have a far of dream of imagining my own art appearing in a book like that, nevermind two other people looking over my shoulder and saying how they can’t wait to see that too.

A week late but nonetheless I’m about to press play in season three of #yellowjackets and I’m so intrigued to where Melanie, Christina, and Tawny take us this year.

Traditional employment is something that seems impossible most days thanks to the way my brain works. Last week though I tried. I applied for a vacancy on though would be fine, got an interview and prepared, and then today was told I wasn’t successful but “did the best I could with what I had”.

Forty-five hours in to what will be soon be my #criticalrole tenth anniversary print, but which items from all three main campaigns should each cast member be wearing to represent all three of their characters?

Mika, can we make a pact that we both don’t get sick again this year, because it’s a recurring theme this year that you post you’re sick the day after I become sick and maybe is we both don’t get sick again then..?

After rewatching season one of #Lost nearly twenty years later my main question now is how did anyone ever like Jack? There isn’t a second in his day where he’s not being misogynistic, or acting the victim in power even though he refuses to give up the mantle.

You know, I just wanted to spend a night socialising with my queer friends playing Wicked Monopoly, not a night of being infected with yet another flu I woke up this morning too.

Coming on any social media platform these days feels more and more like being in a head on collision with despair. Where I climbing from the wreckage thinking why am I wasting my time.

Following #Wicked on stage I came away thinking obviously Elphaba is my girl, turns out after the movie she’s dethroned for Glinda with my wife blaming my own lesbianism.

Tethered 💜🖤 #criticalrole

After three years, one hundred and twenty one episodes, and more hours than I have the mental energy to count in its wake, Campaign Three of #criticalrole is complete.

It’s not unknow I’m biased towards a Marisha character and against a Liam character. However. The fact Bells Hells go to Caleb about anything Ludinus hurts my head when Expositior Beau would either know equally as much or more than he would given her status within the Cobalt Soul. #criticalrole

You know what this week is? This is the week I experience a Countess Luann Cabaret in Glasgow of all places. Fourteen years of watching #RHONY has led me to this moment.

If you see this, quote with a game you’ve played multiple times.

For so many reasons. (Reposting with alt text.)

I think this season of #RHOSLC is the year we should say goodbye to Lisa Barlow and Meredith Marks. They’ve played their part but it’s time for some new faces to hold a snowflake.

It may be 3am, and nearly an hour after the fact, but after relaying the excitement of a possible @criticalrole.bsky.social Live from Edinburgh Castle my wife declared it of the utmost urgency that I pass on the correct pronunciation of Edinburgh (Ed-In-Bruh). I hope she sleeps easier now.

one of my first artwork for this campaign was the witchy trio, it felt right to end it on the same note 💚 🖤 💜 #criticalrole

In between posting memes and inflated video game stats, the world’s richest man has succeeded in spreading chaos and conspiracy theories across his platform, X. Why, then, are Scotland’s political leaders and institutions still using it? My column today 🪡 www.thenational.scot/politics/249...

Rewatching OG CSI and with every episode I can play a game of which baby faced actor will I see next? Today we’ve had Mae Whitman, Alexandra Breckenridge, Jesse Plemons, and Kate Mara.

After having been floored with a flu for the first three weeks of the year I need to catch up with sleep BUT this makes me want to forget all that, stay up for the live stream at 3am, and then pretend I had a full nights sleep tomorrow morning.

QRP with your couple art.

A little update on my favourite troubled DnD rogue who hides behind her leather studded armour because after a year I finally got to jump back into her half-elf/half-tiefling skin.

This.

Five episodes into #TraitorsUs and I still haven’t been presented any evidence to make me not want to see each of these traitors sought out and banished from the castle. #WeNeedCharlotte

Okay, maybe I shouldn’t scroll the #RHOBH tag because I can’t bear to witness the unwarranted delight of people seeing Kyle be made into the villain of yet another season despite the fact the show has put her through hell year after year for all our entertainment.

Is it just me who’s confused by the reaction to Kyle’s text to PK on #RHOBH? Like, we’ve been led to believe through every double date interaction that these four people were friends, who you’d assume spoke and confided in each other about more than just the people in the room - right?

“Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?“ Okay, so maybe I’ve seen the #Wicked movie four times now, I show no shame.
