Wrote a sentence in what I hope will be my first book that I’m particularly proud of today and thought I’d share. #writersky #booksky

I surpassed 100k words today, and wrote close to 5k total. I’m right at the cusp of the book’s emotional climax and I’m wrapping up some key character development. There are days when I’m happy with how things have turned out, and days when I’m not, but today was a good one. #booksky #writersky
A screen capture of a Word document showing that I’ve passes 100,000 words in what I hope may become my first book.

I thought it would be useful to get some if the production and release details of the Record of Lodoss War anime OVA series before diving into the series proper. More to come! #recordoflodosswar #anime #90sanime #lodoss #funimation

The two main spin offs of Record of Lodoss War are Legend of Crystania and Louie the Rune Soldier. We got the anime and part of the manga adaptation of Louie, but otherwise these two massive series haven’t received official translations. #recordoflodosswar #legendofcrystania #runesoldier

To avoid legal problems with Dungeons & Dragons, the creators of Record of Lodoss War spun off their own tabletop RPG, Sword World, where Lodoss, Crystania, and Rune Soldier are all set. I believe it remains the most popular TTRPG in Japan to this day, even moreso than D&D. #recordoflodosswar

This video discusses the prequel and sequel series Legend of Lodoss and Record of Lodoss War: Next Generation. No anime adaptations of this material, but there was some manga, cassette books, and RPG replays. #recordoflodosswar #lodoss #lightnovels #manga

Part 2 of my look at all the multimedia adaptations of the original Record of Lodoss War light novel series. The captions de-synced for some reason and I’m not sure how to fix them at this point. My bad. #recordoflodosswar #lodoss #chroniclesoftheheroicknight #anime #90sanime #manga #lightnovels

Here’s part 2 of my look at Han and Leia’s three weddings across Star Wars Legends and canon. Doesn’t seem like anyone’s watching these, but whatever. I’m done with TikTok so Skylight Social / Blue Sky it is. #starwars #starwarsbooks #starwarsbookssky #starwarslegends

I decided to post some of my old Star Wars TiKTok videos to Skylight Social / Blue Sky as I don’t see myself going back to TikTok at this point. In this one, I take a look at Han and Leia’s three weddings and decide my favorite. I’ll post part 2 tomorrow. #starwars #starwarsbooks #starwarsbookssky

I just finished reading Star Wars: Dark Disciple by Christie Golden. While I did like it, I didn’t find it quite as good as it has been hyped up to be though I did love spending more time with Asajj Ventress’s complexity. Full review in image alt. #starwars #starwarsbooks #starwarsbookssky
Star Wars: Dark Disciple by Christie Golden book cover. I had heard great things about Dark Disciple and for that reason, perhaps, I was pretty underwhelmed by what I actually found. It’s still a good book and worth checking out, but it didn’t seem as great to me as I had been led to believe. Starting with the criticisms first, I thought Quinlan’s character remained pretty flat throughout the book. I never really got a sense of who he was. It seemed like the book assumed the reader would have previous familiarity with him, but he only appeared briefly in The Clone Wars and prior to that had mainly only appeared in old, Legends era comics. And perhaps coinciding with this flatness, I was unconvinced by the romance between him and Ventress. It didn’t seem to have much depth beyond general attraction and proximity, which I suppose is enough to get things going, but it left me a bit perplexed when they began expressing deeper feelings for one another. As a final criticism, I was unconvinced by the premise. I get that much of The Clone Wars series was dedicated to highlighting the failures of the Jedi, but I frankly find myself doubtful they would stoop to that level. It wasn’t quite unbelievable , but it seemed a shaky foundation to me. Now, what I liked most about Dark Disciple: Asajj Ventress. It really captured the complexity of her character that was just beginning to take shape in The Clone Wars and she remained a powerfully compelling character throughout the book. And while I liked the conclusion of her character arc in this book, I’m actually kind of glad it seems to have been retconned so that we can continue to see more of her character growth in animated form. Aside from that, I thought the author did a great job capturing the feel of The Clone Wars series. So while I went in expecting greatness, what I found was good, if not so great as I had been led to believe. I definitely recommend checking it out for Asajj Ventress fans.

Part 1 of my guide to Deedlit related Record of Lodoss War content. A lot of people are still discovering Lodoss through Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth and want to see more of her story in particular. I’ll post part 2 tomorrow. #recordoflodosswar #deedlit #deedlitinwonderlabyrinth

Made this on my last Record of Lodoss War rewatch back during the “very demure’ trend. This scene always makes me laugh. Poor Deedlit doesn’t stand a chance when Kashue is around. #recordoflodosswar #deedlit

Did this Record of Lodoss War video back when this sound bite was trending to show different versions of The Grey Witch story line from my most to least favorite. #recordoflodosswar

Posting this old TikTok video to test the Star Wars fandom waters on BlueSky / Skylight Social. It’s one that might rile people up on purpose because I want to gauge what the Star Wars community is like here. I guess I’ll find out, haha 😅 #starwars #starwarssky #reyskywalker #sequeltrilogy

So the last Record of Lodoss War video I posted on Skylight Social / BlueSky did pretty well, so what the heck, here’s the next video I did in that series where I show of my copy of The Grey Witch light novel. Thanks for having me LodossSky! #recordoflodosswar #swordworld #forcelia

Posting this old Record of Lodoss War video I did on TikTok last year just as a test. But I’m proud of this video regardless and hope anyone seeing it on BlueSky and Skylight Social enjoys it. #recordoflodosswar #forcelia #swordworld

This is a real comment I saw on TikTok and I’m not joking when I say this is probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen on the internet, and by far the worst Star Wars take. This is the level of stupidity we’re dealing with in. America right now. Smh.
The dumbest comment.
