She sounds so good 😭

Hannah and Zack with cameras taking a selfie

I don't know if I'll ever stop smiling.

We've all done something very special. 💚

Although tbh I don't know if she's geordie or if she's doing the accent for the game but! either way, not an english accent you get to hear much in video games

I'm playing Dragon Age Veilguard (finally) and I was really pleasantly surprised that the "english" (as opposed to american) accent option for a femme Rook is a geordie; she sounds lovely

This is a massive scandal.

Labour has invented a made-up tactical vote organisation to trick Gorton and Denton into voting for them.

How can this even be legal?

Idk man I just love it. Read Murderbot. Watch Murderbot. Listen to the audiobooks. Enjoy!

There are a lot of big themes in this series - community, selfhood, freedom, the evils of capitalism and the small goods of human (and robot) kindness - but this love of storytelling as a means to selfhood and comprehension is one that's really hitting home the more of these books I read.

Murderbot learns to see the world and itself through space soap operas. 2.0 uses Murderbot's own logs. Three loves nonfiction and documentaries. Each of them finds something they love and it's formative of how they think and relate to others, but it does help them relate.

And of course I love this, I'm a big reader, moviegoer and lover of great TV, but I also really love that the kind of storytelling Wells chooses for her characters isn't high art, and it isn't all fiction!

Having read all the Murderbot books (currently published, can't wait for more) I've noticed that one of Wells' big themes is the power of storytelling and communication to bring people together, to set them free, to understand and comprehend the world.

Me, being stabbed in the skull: maybe it's just a bad headache this time

Once again shocked by my inability to recognise a migraine until I am well into it

And I do think a big part of this problem is the insistence that thinking is pretentious, that complexities & unconventionalities in fiction are really just accidents & "plot holes", & the fear of "being wrong" devaluing the act of seeking out more than only the most obvious and irrefutable meanings

Stopped in at the library and it happened to be baby story time; I experienced a brief window of childlike joy while requesting a BSL dictionary.

a painterly digital portrait of the character of Claudia from Interview with the Vampire. Claudia is a young Black woman wearing a light patterned shirt, a brown/red houndstooth jacket, and a dark scarf knotted at her throat. Her hair is pulled back from her face in rolls on either side of her head, with a curl loose against her forehead on each side of her face. She has red eyes that look off to the left with an expression of disdain and judgement, her lips are pursed a little. The background is a very warm bright yellow, and the highlights on Claudia are also yellow.

My coven is Claudia.
Interview with the Vampire season 2 still has my brain in a vice ngl. Painting my feelings to cope.

Thank you!! Delainey Hayles has such an interesting face and I really enjoyed going hard on the yellow light 😌

an illustration of a young woman in portrait, facing left. She is light-skinned with a distinctive pattern of red scales on her cheeks, forehead and neck. She has a red ridge, like a rooster's comb, starting on her forehead and reaching back across the top of her head. She is wearing an off-the-shoulder dark blue robe, with a gold chain and gold earrings. Her hair is golden, and has a metallic sheen.

A seven panel comic of a kenku (a bird-humanoid) signing the words "hello! My name is soft rain over distant mountains." Purple speech bubbles point to each gesture with the relevant word. Soft Rain is a smiley corvid with a patch of rainbow feathers around their left eye, wearing a green coat and a big yellow scarf.

An introduction to my hurdy hurdy birdy bard, Soft Rain Over Distant Mountains ✋

God this is meant to say hurdy gurdy. Like the instrument. I hate autocorrect

And NGL it's insane to me that the DnD lore says that Kenku don't have any language of their own, just what they can verbally mimic from other people... Girl wouldn't they sign

I am very baby in my bsl learning journey, but Soft Rain has been a nice way to practice and look up words and cement words in my head!
