@andylaneauthor.bsky.social’s All Consuming Fire blew my socks off so i had to go back to the source

i love this thing so much

Heard about the passing of Justin Richards, imo the best person to lead a doctor who series with his time as editor on the EDA’s. That run, as well as steering the boat on the new series novels, proved how immensely talented he was at choosing and nurturing fresh faces for the doctor who EU. RIP

Helllo Everyone! This week Mr @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social joins me for a double dose of Briggs. It's The Mutant Phase & Creatures of Beauty. #DoctorWho

this week i’m on @lshyphenj.bsky.social wonderful podcast talking Nicholas Briggs THE MUTANT PHASEEEEEEEEE and creatures of beauty

WILDERNESS PART TWO BABYYYYYYYYY

justice

backrooms was incredible

rereading Blood Meridian page 14 and someone has their head kicked in while they’re on fire

the new boards of canada is brilliant

sad to see the torchwood range end but glad it sits at a comfortable 100 releases listening to the last one as i type this so will post later to see if i think its a good ending

if david foster wallace was still alive he’d just kill himself today knowing that if he did himself in back in 2007 like he was supposed to he’d have been a tad bit happier

if the delayed christmas special rumour is true then i’m quite happy with that. i reckon doctor who needs a good few years rest or maybe we let it end. i was fairly happy with the last 2 seasons so don’t get the wrong idea, i just think tv’s not really the right format for the franchise anymore

😱😱

when you shave a patch of leg and watch the hair fall on the floor and start to lick it up so you can lick the orange and make it hairy and warm for when you share it later on at the picnic filled with loads of different oranges all different sizes but you made sure to lick the biggest one to share

what it about Fontaines D.C. that people actually like? it sounds very annoying to my ears

been flicking through From Hell again and i honestly don’t think i was ready for this the first time i read it because this might be Moore’s best work. Eddie Campbell’s art is just sublime and the scrawled dialogue helps add that hazy, slightly sinister atmosphere to the whole piece

going out on a limb and saying that Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is the most influential genre novel of the past 20 years. fight me

just be eating cheese sometimes

have a great idea for a 5 minutes at an open mic. I’d just make this protracted “ughhhh” sound for the whole thing while i slowly sink to the floor and start to roll around with my legs kicking the air. when i finish the 5 minutes i get up, go to the toilet and climb out a window. what do you think?

Alan Moore in the Observer Q&A today

Hell yeah brother youtu.be/iNGClJV92h8?...

might have to do this to my phone

had such an exhausting day of travelling across the country, doing all my uni stuff and settling back in Bath once again. think i’m overtired now as I’m too knackered to bother getting ready for bed so just stuck watching youtube

the dæmons but the third doctor was a skinhead

put nuclear reactors in commercially available cars

the aliens of london target is fucking brilliant. so happy to have one of my favourite stories expanded as well as that retroactive torchwood easter egg fully fleshed out and incorporated into the story great stuff as always @josephlidster.bsky.social

hamster book club: the next generation

Today on Too Hot For TV I am joined by @davidkitchen.bsky.social too look at the expanded universe of Star Trek. As we look at the novel 'Imzadi' and the fan film 'Blood and Fire'. linktr.ee/Dylan_Rees

Pure love for this.

Nonesuch by Francis Spufford might be the best novel to come out this year

william hartnell looksmaxxing in daleks masterplan

DALEKS MASTER PLAN WHAT WHAT WHAT

just had a completely insane fever dream where someone harassed me across a weird blend of bath and bristol for the names of poets so they could get into poetry i really dont like poetry so it turned into a shouting match about how John Clare was the only poet i respect strange

FINALLY

randomly got sick today, lovely

sometimes you pick up a novel from the daughter of very successful female novelist and realise that publishers will put out any old shit if the parent hold their own work hostage

just gonna start speaking exclusively in Sopranos quotes

sam jones!!

gonna buy a massive JBL speaker and blast 2slimey 24/7 until someone just rips my head from my shoulders

i never knew a book about blood cancer could be so incredibly bleak and hilarious at the same time Barnes is a joy

keep being told my novel is INCREDIBLY complicated, probably to a fault. i’m Pynchon-maxxing fr

you ever feel like you want to pull your arm off and swing it about with the other one?

listening to too much Mr Bungle for my own good youtu.be/km1uWUPQvcs?...

at peace today, with what? i don’t really know. just feel completely relaxed :)

thinking about my uni journey as a whole. i’ve not changed as much as i thought i’d had. kinda forgot i still do the same things, just more aware of them now. the only real difference is that I’m a lot for pretentious and i believe I’m cleverer than i did beforehand. overall it has been worth it :)

“yea man postgrad is great, i’m loving every second of it”
