Off to my first gig in YEARS. (Last time was just before the covid lockdowns)
Been excited for this for a while, even splashed out a little extra to meet the band and see a small acoustic set.

No Halloween activities for me tonight, instead enjoying a classic film on the big screen as #BackToTheFuture celebrates its 40th anniversary.

Had thought the previous book may last me a little longer, instead were starting the Christmas/Winter-themed books early.

Hoping my fellow critters can help out with this one. Trying to figure out what Ashley is wearing under her Metallica shirt in C4:Ep3.
I love the faux chainmail look of it, and want to try and get one myself, but my search attempts have been fruitless.

Off to the cinema to see #PrincessMononoke on the big screen for its 4K re-release.
This will always hold a place in my heart, as it was the film that introduced me to #StudioGhibli

Finally watching the first episode of C4 for #CriticalRole and I swear my reaction for most of the character introductions.

#TronAres was ok. It kind of falls into the same area as Ready Player One did for me.
Story is fine, but they are relying on the visual spectacle to keep your attention, especially as we see the digital and real worlds collide.

How is #ScottPilgrimm 15 years old already?
Still enjoy it just as much as when I was younger, but really interesting to look back at it through older eyes, seeing how much of an ass Scott is for the bulk of the film.
Knives, on the other hand, is an absolute precious bean who should be protected.

I'll be honest, I don't get complimented for my looks that often, so its such a rush when you get called cute by someone you think is attractive.

This October, as part of my #FinalFantasyIX 25th anniversary celebrations, I'm doing #FFIX themed daily sketches!
I'll be posting them on all socials under the tag #IXtober - anyone else doing FFIX creative works is absolutely free to use it for themselves. ❤️

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏
I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

Going for something a little different from my usual fantasy/romance selections. Heard a lot of good stuff about this, so curious to try it out.

For a 'dying site' there's an awful lot of triggered maga cultists creating accounts on here all of a sudden to cry because the latest killer is another one of their own, unlike all the normal people who scare them for just existing.

Another impotent right-wing twunt suddenly upset by needless killing, has to make an alt account to cry about people doing exactly what he does for 99.9% of other gun deaths.

After last weekend had tje 50th anniversary screenings for Jaws, my local cinema is doing an #IndianaJones marathon. More classics I was too young to see at the time (or wasn't even born yet!)
Just finished #RaidersOfTheLostArk and getting ready for #TempleOfDoom
