Playing the game AC Shadows has inspired me to paint a scene I call Naoe’s Forest

Went back to edit the almost-finished Wind Breaker fic I started over a year ago and I think it's soon gonna be ready!

Not sure if I'll ask for a beta this time as I know no one in the fandom... maybe I'll just read it to my wife as usual :blobBlush:

I'm happy to have gone back to it! Maybe I can publish it soon!

Just saw my blorbos in the shop :blobCatBlush: :blobCatBlush: :blobCatBlush:

This AO3 downtime is tempting me to finally host my fanficitions on my own website... :rainbowEyes:

I don't even have a link to my fanfics on my website, somehow it feels too vulnerable... but at the same time, I have many fanfic recs on there, so I never really share my website with people outside of fandom, so not sure how much it would change to add my own fanfics on there directly... hmm

getting excited over a taemin fansign in paris but it's a raffle and you have to spend 100 euros minimum 🥀 (not even a kpop store btw)

Anyone in the US already watching ESPN+ can stick around for some Canadian soccer playoff action between Vancouver and Montréal in the Northern Super League.
A couple of ex NWSL players on both teams.

Congratulations to Gotham FC for winning the #NWSL Supporter’s Shield by 3 points. Well deserved. Very successful couple of seasons. Wouldn’t be shocking if they go on to win the double but we’ll see.

39 year old legendary midfielder Jess Fishlock gets to play a little longer thanks to 20 year old centre back Jordyn Bugg’s goal for Seattle Reign.

Gotham and the Reign will face each other next in the playoffs.
The SD Wave will go against the Utah Royals, the Washington Spirit will go against the Portland Thorns, and the KC Current will face Angel City FC for the first round of playoff matches.

#NWSLplayoffs

I believe ESPN is showing all matches in the US.
In Canada, TSN is showing their usual single match and it’s Gotham vs Utah.

One Soccer is showing two matches: Houston vs Portland and Courage vs Denver.

NWSL+ is showing the other five matches for free.

#NWSL

It’s #NWSL Decision Day (final matchday of the regular season)!

All 16 teams are playing at the same time (5pm ET) but there’s 4 matches that carry a little (or a lot) extra weight to them since the Supporters Shield hasn’t yet been decided and the final 8th spot to qualify for the playoffs also hasn’t been finalized.

Two teams vie for the Shield: Gotham and SD Wave.
Three teams vie for the 8th playoff spot. Seattle Reign, NC Courage, and Denver Summit.
Courage and Summit are playing against each other today.

Reign currently hold that 8th spot but the Courage or the Summit could sneak in with a win (a tie wouldn’t be enough) if Seattle lose.

A tie wouldn’t be enough for the Reign if the Courage win because Ashley Sanchez’ Golden Boot season has ensured that the Courage have a much stronger goal difference.
The Summit have a higher goal difference than both the Reign or Courage so a win would put them level with the Reign on points but the Summit would squeeze in on goals alone. It’s that close!

I think it could go either way but if the Reign lose, it would be Jess Fishlock’s final game of her career. I guarantee you she and the entire team will work very hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.
We saw what happened when it was Ali Krieger’s final season. Gotham squeezed into the playoffs and won the Playoff Championship.
The Reign have never won the Championship (they won the Shield 3 times).
The Reign play Orlando Pride (who didn’t qualify for the playoffs) and the other two face-off against each other.

Gotham just need a tie to win the Supporters’ Shield but they face a strong Utah Royals team. I wouldn’t put it past the Royals to feel extra motivation to ruin Gotham’s chance at the title. Both teams are already in the playoffs so there’s more pressure on Gotham.

San Diego Wave play Bay FC. I would expect the Wave to win that but that would only put them level on points with Gotham if Gotham lose so Wave better win by at least 2 goals just in case it comes to that.

Let the games begin!

Too Hot to Tango by E. E. Salo
5/5 stars

This was so, so romantic. It's a Sapphic, age-appropriate, much less problematic version of Dirty Dancing. Sports camp counselor accidentally injures art camp counselor's dancing partner and volunteers to take their place. We--and the delighted counselors and campers--watch them practicing dance and falling in love. It was sweet, wholesome, and swoonworthy.

• What did you do? You saved yourself. They were there to kill you and we are not going to pretend it's bad you survived.
  • I think after this, when you go on a murder spree, then we talk about morals. But right now, Pam, you're good.
• Making tasty corpses, are we? I guess the bear thinks so. This feels like you've thought about it before, Pam.
• I would give everything I own. Best song choice. Pam against the forest with the fireworks behind her was triumphant and terrifying.

Crystal Lake S01E01 Camp Crystal

• The camp song is so good. It's exactly what every 70s/80s camp show and movie taught me to expect.
• No, you are not going to leave Jason alone with those children while you go to the boathouse to get rope. You can see they're bullying him already.
• Grace's 70s swimsuit is perfection. I had something like it.
• Traditional 80s horror movie view of a butt. Look, Barry, you can't be having sex in 70s/80s horror. That's a death sentence.
  • You'll finish quick. Wow. Tempting. How can she resist.
  • I like that they're taking an outdated and gross trope and giving it a reason. It isn't that having sex is bad in this show, it's that someone was having sex instead of watching children.
• I'd forgotten that Pamela had a snake in the pot she was gently crading as she smiled at her son.
• Setting traps for what, Ralph? Children?
  • Right, right, avoid the landmines.
• What is this, Penthouse Letters? That is an odd thing to read at the lunch counter.
• "That Voorhees lady" tells me all I need to know about how this town treats Pamela.
• The thing is, Chief Lee, she's not wrong. Jason's not gone. He will come back out of that lake.
• Baby's first machete.
• Is the seizure disorder new or has Jason always been known to have seizures?
  • I remain very uncomfortable about disability being the root of Jason being "horrific." I like that they're showing how disabled people are treated.
• "That's right. I whittle now. I'm a whittler."
• I remember the fast food wars. And the cola wars. Things were weird back then.
• This is going to hurt later, isn't it? Chief Lee is really nice. His sister hangs out with him voluntarily, that says good things. And Pamela's so sad.
• Dude, follow her to the water. Who the fuck knows what's going to happen.
• What the fuck, Ralph? "Crystal Lake won't give up her dead."
• "Everything he overcame. He was such an inspiration to all of us." You two are D-E-A-D. For the crime of inspiration porn, not for the sex.
  • Matchy 70s outfits, too. Weirdos.
• Pam, sweetie, there's a reason they didn't tell you about the camp re-opening.
• 1972. I was 3.
• That is a good 70s cop stache. Excellent polyester suit and mock turtleneck, too.
  • "Is your husband home?" Mhm. Always.
  • "A kid like that?"
  • You fucking asshole, stop wiping more dirt onto her floor. Especially right after you insulted her son.
• What the fuck? Who the hell are these assholes?
  • If Voorhees is a family name, what family is it? I am assuming they know Tony Soprano.
  • Get him, Pam. Save yourself.
  • Mrs. Wittering.
  • Oopsie about your face, dude.
• I feel like you'd have more success getting that knife out of his head if you stepped on his skull.
• This is the worst timing Chief Lee. (Now that I know his name is Levon I will not be able to stop singing.)
• They did not need to burst that bag.

I know I go on and on about #ACshadows but it’s such a perfect fit for my personality.
In between assassinations you can just wander around and find nature to paint then hang your painting up in your hideout.
I love it so much.

What a player Kaylee Hunter is! AFC Toronto are fortunate she’s not been lured yet by a bigger club in a bigger league.
Maybe the fact she only just turned 18 this year has something to do with her not yet leaving Canada.
She’s going to be a world star footballer for sure! Even the way she speaks in interviews is very mature.

Happy Halloween. 🎃 👻
Yesterday I watched the original version of The Hills Have Eyes. I know there’s a lot of people who really like that movie, but I was very disappointed.

The only two characters I cared about were Ruby and the dog.. Everybody else was super annoying.
