Seraph

Oh, wow. Yeah. One of the best films I've ever seen. Probably will never watch it again. 😭

I always wanted to be either a witch or a vampire every Halloween - and the way that could have been almost foundational to an identity I denied... Boy. 😮‍💨😅 2/2

Came up with an idea for a poem today. I've only written the title, but this October has been about me trying to tap into my childhood love of spooky stuff that never exactly left, but which was never able to connect to my queerness along the way even though it also wound up in the closet. 1/2

Okay, I have a bunch, but I'm mostly caught between Farscape and Angel.

The cello wins today.

Hmm, how did my plan to start making dinner at 5.30 to allow extra time for watching stuff *and* pumping up my tyres result in me standing in the kitchen just after 6b with several minutes more coming time *on a ready meal*?

The Dissidia series became the inheritor of the weird title title aye that, I think.

I'm not sure Kingdom Hearts has ever beaten 358/2 Days as a title.

Ooh!

manuscript with a cross motif at the bottom below the text

byzantinists: does this little cross motif say anything to you?

Juno should not be getting the spam label from moderation!

It looks like an album cover! Very handsome and mysterious.

What do you mean I have to hang it up to dry!?

Okay, I've had lunch and been productive: wrapped my daughter's presents to drop off tonight (her birthday's not until Monday but I won't see her again til Tuesday so look at me being organised), put some laundry on and now will definitely try for that nap in the hope that it calms me down.

With claws to slay!

What an amazing look and bringing it a whole other side to you. Thanks for sharing!

Fuck. I love doing counselling skills practice, but all that self-reflection and emotional congruence is exhausting, especially when you stupidly allow yourself to read messages at the wrong moment and your anxiety hair trigger goes off. I need a nap, but first I need lunch.

people tell AI to do things like they're playing a character in a game. 'summarise this'. 'open the door to the spooky cave'. they should have to roll. sorry, failed your 1d12 now you've fallen into an eldritch pit of pdfs enraged to be disturbed from their slumber, hope you've got healing potions

And now I'm gonna be late but my digestive system had other ideas.

The problem with my later start on Thursdays is that it lulls me into a false sense of security and I end up lying on my bed in my dressing gown scrolling for far too long!

I must be more worried about my Open Table reflection this week and preaching next week than I thought because my frequently interrupted dreams this morning were about waiting to preach with no planning. Terrifying.

So of course the worst conservative evangelicals and CNs love it - it's a power fantasy - but they fail to notice that it was punching up (which is why it still contains a valuable message about the Kingdom of God versus the powers of Empire) and they're now punching down (they are the Empire)! 2/2

One of the things I've recently learned about Rev. is that it was *extremely* unpopular among [Christians] at the time it was written for being violent & focused on the deaths of their enemies. It became canon mainly because it had useful things to say in the battle against Arianism. 1/2

Claudia Tinkleman?

Finished The Midnight Walk. What a dark, beautiful little game. Perfectly Octoberish.

"We have arrested the girlfriend of the brother of the grandmother of Santa Claus and we will be putting a halt to Christmas any day now!"

Despite my complicated relationship with country music, I would be as devastated as any longtime fan. She's a living saint. 💜

Great job, Cub! 💜

And he's studying counselling, too? 😍

A glossy paperback lying on a bed sheet. The cover reads Fables of Flower, A Collection of 15 Short Stories, T A Jenkins. The image is of a giant ant, and various other random things (cake, a cat, underpants amongst others) seeming to explode out of the cover.

Yay, my copy of Fables of Flower by @norab84.bsky.social arrived today!
