Another hobby of mine, that is within another hobby: taking photos on a 100+ year old camera while at my World War I reenactments.

I ordered film in the middle of October for my late 1910's-early 1920's Vest Pocket Autographic Kodak camera. It's a film that is rare nowadays...as late as 1995 I'd have been able to go to any film store in my hometown (where I still live, and where Kodak's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities are/were) and get myself a few rolls. Now I have to order it from film suppliers online who import the 8-shot rolls from Japan. I found the camera online last year on Etsy. I paid not a lot of money for it, and damned if it wasn't in tip-top shape. In April of 2024 I went to the WWI spring tactical in Newville, Pennsylvania. I had one roll of film with me and took some damned good photos of some damned good friends of mine, as well as a shot of no-man's land and the German trenches beyond....which coincidentally housed some other damned good friends of mine. There's a place about 15 minutes from me that develops 127 film and also scans it onto a flash drive. The two rolls I received today I had hoped would have gotten here in time for the fall tactical last month, but the supplier was out of stock. Oh well, it just means I have more for next April's event! The reproduction film box was a gift from one of my oldest and bestest reenactor friends.

ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: 2x09 - “The Dirt Under Your Nails.”

Imagine being THE most powerful wizard in all of Exandria and you have this insane plan to release a godeater because you know, fuck the gods. And you spent centuries perfecting this plan and forging alliances with trained killers and this five minded entity from the moon and the unseelie court and you have an entire army behind you. You start a war with a neighboring country so that you can get this ancient artifact to power your moon bridge and you set up a scheme to try and kill the lover of the champion of the matron of ravens so he’ll show up just for you to put him in an orb. And then you try to absorb your general’s essence into your body so that you can become the vessel for the godeater ONLY for you to get forcecaged by a blue man who just got out of the house this year.

I do love a good villain monologue, but every time Ludinus speaks, my first reaction is, "god, shut the fuck up already."

I have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with the Mighty Nein, and I will be very upset if one of them dies tonight.
