the life of a showghoul

Two photographs - one the cover of the book 'Amazons in the Digital Era: The Reception of the Warrior Woman Image' and the other of the first page of chapter five, which is titled Controllers and Chainmail: Amazons' costuming in contemporary video games. Which is by me!

Book get 🧡🧡 publication no.3!

A photograph of a very long Garfield plush. It has an eerie expression.

Lads I don't quite know how I feel about Long Garfield but it isn't anything comfortable

I give two shits about bluesky

I like my friends who came here with me

and I like the friends I've made here

Put on the first pair of pants I could find in a fugue state this morning (I haven't slept) and they are definitely too small 😬 work's gonna be hella uncomfortable then

Adore you, bestest editor xxx

😍😍😍

YouTube video by Taylor Swift Taylor Swift - The Fate of Ophelia (Official Music Video)

This music video really is novel in the extensive physical sets and almost no CGI (as demonstrated in the movie), with probably the best song on the album. It's absolutely worth watching even on mute.

One of my favourite games

THANKYOU

I screamed

To the tune of Time Warp:

Don't use the R-Word, you cunt

I've never seen Mean Girls or Clueless. Legally Blonde is probably the closest I've got, unless 10 Things I Hate About You counts.

Objectively, I do know the lyric is

And all the headshots on the walls/Of the dance hall are of the bitches/Who wish I'd hurry up and die

But my brain is *insisting* on hearing it as hedgehogs on the walls, and I cannot explain why

It seems to be one of those days tbh

Honestly I cackled!

My first boyfriend came from a fully Welsh-speaking family, and his dad was from mid-Wales somewhere and he used to use garetch? Confused the crap out of me the first time I heard it, I thought he wanted something from the garage 😂 it's a silly language (and I love it)

this is an excellent thread, thankyou for teaching me a new word!

lmaoooo

"the Welsh word for carrot is moron"
"that's ableist don't make excuses"

No, you don't get to tell me how to use the Welsh language, internet scold

(yes, I know moronen technically is the singular & moron is the plural, but in all my years in Cymru nobody ever asked for a single carrot)

It is very literally the Welsh word for carrot. I'm not using the English word for carrot in a Welsh-language conversation.

I will use moron, but only in a Welsh-language conversation (or an argument tbf) because it is the word for carrot 🤣 but otherwise no it's not in my vernacular

Thread 👇

I have some Loops but they are a v.old set from before they did the three different ones. They're probably closest to Engage though. I love them; I use them for live music, for drift races & for busy places (like London) when I'm feeling overwhelmed. Can still have a conversation with them in.

I was fully prepared to continue my TTPD pretentiousness into this new era and for The Fate of Ophelia to be my favourite, but no... it's Cancelled. Cancelled is my favourite. Ophelia is probably second, followed by Eldest Daughter.

'Deranged Croissants' would be an excellent band name

A digital painting of the main characters from the Chronicles of Prydain.

I really really really must find time to finish this #Prydain fan art. (A lot of the faces are kinda placeholder right now. So hard to capture how I imagine these characters with any accuracy)

Just lined up my multifarious Instagrams to Get In The Bin and it was very satisfying

I did not know that!

Wessely can fuck RIGHT off, lads

Bathroom done cat bowls done time for SHOWER BEER

Have scrubbed pretty much the entire kitchen and would like a lie down now 😭 bathroom is up next... I hate being the only cleaner
