I never stopped loving the show, by the way. Just because I don't talk about it on main, just know I'll always be in my mysterious, Victorian, widower phase about it. I'll never take that big haunted painting off the mantlepiece. (the painting is of Ed in a wedding dress.)

went to the Flight of the Conchords concert last night. Someone in the audience called Jemaine a "Sexy Einstein." I had a great time.

Imagine being a professional journalist covering the met, and somehow not knowing who Tom of Finland is.

I tried making Moomin in Tomodatchi and it looked like an actual nightmare I don’t recommend

I'm looking forward to Alex Garland's take on Elden Ring because I'll finally be able to really enjoy the "lore" of Elden Ring without being murdered by stupid fucking ratdogs for the 200000th time in a row.

oh wow if T bought that studio in NZ maybe I'll finally get that Incal adaptation. I've only waited 200 years

obv the site is extremely bare-bones right now. I want to make more art, and add more features as it grows, as I (very slowly) add more stories. I think it'll be fun to watch it evolve. Please let me know if anyone has trouble with the file, I'm very stupid when it comes to websites and technology.

My fantasy adventure book is finally ready to download! For free! A tale of giants, cursed rabbits, and sword-fighting. Special thanks to my dear friend @jackuntiljune.bsky.social for being a wonderful editor and to @roximonoxide.bsky.social for helping me with the site! 🐝 balladsofbeeswax.com

when Chris Fleming eventually crosses over into movies, I really want him to star in a PeeWee/UHF style comedy where he can just be himself in a world of wacky characters. I know there is no joy or wonderment in movie comedies anymore, but I think it's what we all need right now.

I want to thank the Internet Archive for giving me access to "The Biology of farm pests" from 1872 in order to properly cite an outdated microbiological term, so I could justify using it as the title for my thesis. All because I like to paint genderless blobs dancing around with mushrooms.

I think we should make lo-fi film a thing. Hear me out. -Put all the money into writing. -Put all the money into making the actual film and color grading look decent. -special fx done with cardboard, clever editing, xmas lights, and matte paintings. -cast unknowns only.

....but what if I wanted to play Pokopia...

60 days is almost up and I'll be able to FINALLY customize my book website 🔥 sheeeesh it's taken me a long time. Hold tight

rory kinnear always pops up when you least expect it

Sometimes I feel like I'm being too quirky or out-there with my writing, and then I go back to reading The Dark Tower, and it's been 5 chapters worth of a dimension-hopping cowboy fighting lobster monsters

lying on my ass sick as shit, watching olympic curling

have the urge to read some goth/fantasy stories involving gods and personifications and NOT written by a slimeball? Check out the books by Tanith Lee! They are very sweeping, a little bit cheesy in that delightful 80s fantasy way. If you like Labyrinth she's for you.

One of my favorite moments in book illustration is when John Tenniel cleverly transitioned the image of the red queen getting shook with a kitten getting shook, with one page turn. It's so cute and funny, and a borderline meme.

I love that fans do personal book binding? Like that's so fucking cool and punk and amazing? The spirit of DIY! Should relearn that skill myself for sure.

I can't believe a movie subtitled "The Bone Temple" was a nuanced look at religious psychosis and cult deconstruction. From a movie called "The Bone Temple."

Seeing any kind of positive feedback for T in mainstream critical writing is like seeing a flower growing out from a crack in the cement. Like holy shit, a flower!

Also happy for Emillie Blichfeldt's team? I really enjoyed The Ugly Stepsister last year, and I'm so (pleasantly)surprised to see it nominated. I am really interested in Blichfeldt's career going forward.

As a horror fan, it’s so nice to see the genre finally being noticed by the Oscars. If there was ever a time and place for horror to be accepted as a form or art and critique on our times, its NOW 😂💀

Update on the book - been waiting for my 60 days to be up so I can finally transfer my site to wordpress and make it look nice ✨ the book is complete on epub and even has a cute cover, and some cute character art.

The first two movies I've seen in 2026 so far are Pillion and 28 Years Later: Bone Temple. I hope movies continue to maintain this level of whimsy going forward.

me staring at the ceiling at night planning storylines like I'm in the Queen's Gambit or some shit

wish there was a way to hide spoilers on here? I have a spoiler I want to talk about

normalize going to see movies by yourself. I love getting my little popcorn and my little drink, sitting in my little chair, with my little feet swinging because I'm too short to reach the ground. Unbothered

I can *feel* a new story brewing, but it hasn't taken shape yet. It's like in my brain but I can't quite pluck it out

watching Nosferatu (2024) and Frankenstein (2025) back to back is so rewarding. Both are adaptations of gothic horror, but they have distinct styles and are opposites in tone. Yet, both stay true to the gothic horror genre all the same. Sit with me on this 🧵

I really love time-loop stories. Groundhog Day, Palm Springs. Even video games like the Hades series and Into the Breach. There's something very satisfying about seeing characters develop despite the repetition of their surroundings. It gives you hope that maybe you can break out of the loop, too.

Alternative xmas things to watch that aren’t Diehard- Tokyo Godfathers | Satoshi Kon is a legend. No one did it like him. No one will. Emmett Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas | A Jim Henson xmas special. Otter muppets. Perfect. Pee Wee Herman’s Xmas | the gayest xmas there ever was 🏳️‍🌈

tip-toeing down a flight of stairs in my bed robes and nightcap, holding a single candle aloft. "Hark! My rice crispy treats are ready!"

Part of this is well on its way 💜 thank you @roximonoxide.bsky.social for the website assistance. Aiming for a March release date. Will dump more info later

Two things I learned this year- Do not read comments : Some of my worst OCD spirals happened because of misinformation spread by reading comments on tiktok. Blocking and Muting : Self-explanatory. Even if that means having to mute friends for a bit. Have boundaries.

Hey, look at me. I survived this year. I still grew, enjoyed my friends, and had adventures despite all the shit. It's like I did a 5k run with both of my legs broken. I maintained my whimsy out of pure spite.

Okay its winter break from grad school. Finally playing Hades II. Its a miracle I have not been spoiled in any way

Something The Muppet's Christmas Carol has that other versions don't have. All of Scrooge's coworkers are played by muppets. He literally HAS to look down at them. He doesn't see them as human. This psychological look into Scrooge's mindset can only be achieved using fuzzy muppets.

about my book, a thread 🧵 ~ I wrote the first draft in 2022, right after quietly coming to terms with my NB identity after a decades-long journey of deconstruction, therapy, and diagnoses. I wanted to write something fun and full of things I loved. I was not setting out to write a personal story 🧵

my to-do list for 2026- Read more books Finally figure out how to post my book online for free Watch more indie animation and micro-budget films - I'm open to all suggestions on this front (seriously, I just want to upload my 🌈fantasy adventures story online for free how do I even start)

Every 5-10 months, I get a little treat. I get a little treat in the form of a gothic horror film with a big monster boy in it. I get this little treat at least twice a year. I need to keep getting these little treats for my morale. It's the carrot on the end of the stick.

I made a separate bluesky account on here for my *professional* work but I forgot my password and I can’t get into it 🫩 so I—- hhm

I bring up A Christmas Carol and my love of spooky victorian xmas and one of the youtubers I watch releases a Muppet's Christmas Carol retrospective. They knew.

I have *religious trauma*, so engaging with xmas-related things, even music, is not for me. However, I fucking love A Christmas Carol. I'd argue (and Charles Dickens would back me) that it's less about the jebus and more about pushing back against greed. With ghosts. And sometimes muppets.

Anyway, I think Love and Mercy is the best biopic out there. Extremely underrated. A unique look into the genius of Brian Wilson, thoughtfully played by the always excellent Paul Dano.

TCM has a lovely podcast called "The Plot Thickens". It's vintage, well-researched Hollywood T 🍵 🫖 about chaotic film shoots. The current industry has nothing on the level of chaos classic sets had oh my god

heya 👋 if I see an AI bro liking and sharing any of my posts, that's a block on sight. Fuck off, sir.

fyi the Moomin character in my pfp is Little My from Moomin. In the deep moomin-lore, she's a Mymble, which is also the name of her mother (????)
