Get to Know Me Tag

Tagged by @adventuresofmeghatron thank you! 😘 (and sorry this took me so long to actually post)

LAST SONG — Chosen Ones - Mountains vs. Machines (I am still convinced Patrick Stump is secretly the lead...like Seriously these guys sound like Fall Out Boy!)

LAST MOVIE — Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (Me and my man celebrated our 10 yr anniversary in our usual nerdy fashion 🙌)

CURRENTLY WATCHING — Just finished Almost Paradise season 2. So back to YouTube for lots of Critical Role (Matthew Mercer being a DM gives me so much joy btw!)

CURRENTLY READING — MacCready fics. (imma do a reading list at some point to share the love 🫡)

LAST THING SEARCHED FOR WRITING PURPOSES (Imma tag on 'or for drawing inspiration' too if anyone needs it 🤫) - hah...how to spell Beauregard because I butcher it so badly even spellcheck doesn't know 🤣...and actually had to do it again for this post 😅 

The first name I have appointed to a certain Mechanic... (Sturges...it's Sturges 😜)

And I guess the I read a lot of fo4 dialogue (I use Voice Reference Tool 2 It's helps me to hear the characters, and get in their head! Recommended if you're a PC player)

Tagging (if you wanna!) @danses-with-dogmeat @druidgroves @ficbrish @galaxycunt @just-another-wasteland-merc @jinjieee @nuka-nasty @maccreadysbaby @sirmanmister

WIP stuff

Speaking of Beau... gonna be real lazy and tag on my WIP tag (Some Sentences Smonday) with a tiny little snippet of dialogue!

...I love pairing these two!

I'll have a bigger update once I get organised...but hey, she finally be trying out somethin' saucy 😅

(content warning: highly suggestive innuendo from 18+ chapter I'm ironing out...)

"—Aww shucks, ain't you a pretty sight with a flush of color—Bobby!"

"What was that, Beauregard?" he smirked—seriously regretting telling this teasing sonoffabitch his name— "Hmm? You're gonna calibrate your own damn piston?"

NHL Expansion Draft 2021: Full list of players available for Seattle Kraken

The NHL announced the protected lists for the 30 teams involved in the NHL Expansion Draft. (Vegas is exempt.) With the names of those protected come the guys who could be snatched up by the Seattle Kraken. There are a number of big names that have everyone trying to figure out just what general manager Ron Francis will do. Will he take Canadiens netminder, and future Hall of Famer, Carey Price and his hefty cap hit? Is Vladimir Tarasenko the sniper he needs or is his health a big question mark? There's also a number of guys who would fit in nicely but are free agents and the chances of signing them are not high (i.e. Alex Ovechkin).  EXPANSION DRAFT: Date, time, rules & more for Seattle Kraken team selectionRegardless of what Francis, coach Dave Hakstrol and Co. end up doing, there's a good chance the Kraken will be a playoff contender in just their first season. For now, let the intrigue and the guessing WWRFD (that's: what will Ron Francis do?) begin. Here's a look at every player they can pick.

A Year in Review: The 21 Best TV Shows of 2018

Peak TV may be over and the bubble may be about to burst. Unlike the past few years, 2018 yielded fewer outstanding shows. There were plenty of good-to-great series that aired this year but there were less exceptional programs when compared to the last five years. With the field being so competitive, talent is spread thin — not just those in front of the camera but folks who create and craft shows. We may be reaching a breaking point of quality vs. quantity but 2018 did offer some stellar series.

I watched just over 80 shows this year. I gave up on about 21/22? I liked a lot of shows. I loved only a few; pretty much the top 11. Most disappointing TV was "Deutschland 86," "Claws" Season 2 and "Little Drummer Girl." i hope 2019 is better!! lots of good stuff coming!!!

Below are the best 21 TV shows of the year. 

21. "The Haunting of Hill House" Season 1 Netflix

20. "High Maintenance" Season 2 HBO

19. "Black Mirror" Season 4 Netflix

18. "The Deuce" Season 2 HBO

17. "Baskets" Season 3 FX

16. "Channel Zero: Butcher's Block" Season 3 SYFY

15. "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" Season 1 Netflix

14. "Insecure" Season 3 HBO

13. "Mosaic" Season 1 HBO

12. "Channel Zero: The Dream Door" Season 4 SYFY

11. "The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell" Season 1 Netflix

10. "Forever" Season 1 Amazon

Starring "Saturday Night Live" alums Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen the tiny comedy "Forever," created and written by Emmy Award winners Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard, packs a powerful and emotional punch. It's hard to talk about "Forever" without giving away its unexpected and hilarious premise (make sure to watch past the second episode) but the show takes on what it means to be in a long-term relationship in a fascinating and refreshing way. "Forever" also serves as a showcase for Rudolph, allowing her to act and to do something interesting, nuanced and lovely.

09. "Sharp Objects" Season 1 HBO

"Big Little Lies" this was not. The fever dream summer show "Sharp Objects" boasted a similar pedigree to the 2017 hit (both series are directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, are based on hit novels, aired on HBO and starred movie stars), but was totally different in almost every way. This mood piece, starring a wonderful Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson, is a haunting exploration of memory and trauma, wrapped in a Southern Gothic mystery.

08. "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" Season 2 Amazon

Bright, bubbly and delightful, "The Marvelous Mr. Masiel" returned at the end of 2018 to remind us the best TV doesn't always need to be dark and twisted. In its second season, the Amy Sherman-Palladino comedy took risks, traveling in Paris, the Catskills and around the East Coast. And of course, like last year, the cast (Rachel Brosnahan, Alex Borstein, Michael Zegen, Marin Hinkle, Tony Shalhoub) remains absolutely fabulous.

07. "Homecoming" Season 1 Amazon

Based on a podcast and created for TV by Sam Esmail ("Mr. Robot"), "Homecoming" fires on all cylinders. Starring Julia Roberts in her best role in recent memory, this psychological and conspiracy thriller is one of the best-looking shows of the year. Riffing on Hitchcock, De Palma and more, "Homecoming" is a hypnotic mystery that's gripping as it slowly unfolds, featuring additional brilliant performances from Bobby Cannavale, Stephan James, Shea Whigham, Alex Karpovsky and Sissy Spacek.

06. "Pose" Season 1 FX

"Pose" is not only a beautiful show but a groundbreaking one. Featuring the largest cast of trans actors in TV history, this period piece centers on the ballroom scene in 80s New York City and shines the spotlight on a number of unknown actors who proved themselves to be some of the finest performers on TV this year. At the center of "Pose" is MJ Rodriguez's Blanca, a warm and heartbreaking character that is the through line of this stunning drama.

05. "Succession" Season 1 HBO

No show was funnier and more demented this year than "Succession." Centered on an incredibly wealthy family, which runs one of the largest media conglomerates in the world, "Succession" outdid itself week after week. Each episode was sicker and more hilarious than the last, building up to an over-the-top season finale that was as mean-spirited as "Veep" and as ridiculous as "Billions."

04. "Killing Eve" Season 1 BBC America

"Killing Eve" is a glamorous cat-and-mouse game that pops off the TV screen, thanks to stellar performances from leads Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer. Developed for the small screen by Phoebe Waller-Bridge ("Flea Bag"), "Killing Eve" did an incredible job at turning an espionage thriller inside out, making the show humanistic, hilarious and addictive.

03. "Atlanta: Robbin' Season" Season 2 FX

The second season of Donald Glover's "Atlanta" knocked it out of the park. A number of episodes blended the absurd with reality and humor. The hilarious horror story "Teddy Perkins" is the finest example of what "Atlanta" can do. Episodes were narratively disconnected, allowing the show to fling its top-notch cast (Glover, Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Stanfield, Zazie Beetz) to enter truly bizarre situations — from partaking in a Fastnacht celebration to a party at Drake's mansion. Episodes were also incredibly touching, like "Woods," in which Henry's character Alfred goes on a spiritual journey to reconnect with his late mother, and the flashback episode "FUBU."

02. "Maniac" Season 1 Netflix

The dazzling sci-fi drama "Maniac" was like nothing else on TV. It's world-building, courtesy of writer/creator Patrick Somerville and director/writer Cary Joji Fukunaga is incredible. A considered and specific show, the 10-episode miniseries took on mental health in trauma in a fresh way, resulting in one of the most creative shows in recent memory. It also featured a number of stellar performances from its two leads Emma Stone and Jonah Hill as well as its supporting cast, including a totally off-the-wall Justin Theroux, a diabolical Sally Field, and a compelling Sonoya Mizuno.

01. "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story" Season 2 FX

Told like a collection of short stories the second season of "American Crime Story," "The Assassination of Gianni Versace," examined homophobia in the 90s via one deranged and broken man. Though the show features a number of big names, it's Darren Criss's portrayal of gay serial killer Andrew Cunanan that stole the show. Expertly written by Tom Rob Smith, "Versace" explored a headline-grabbing story that somehow slipped away from America's consciousness. Unlike other true crime series, "Versace" made sure to highlight its victims, digging into their past and how their fate brought them to Cunanan, a victim of sorts too but a storm of evil who ended the lives of at least five men.

Hi could you maybe recommend me some fanatsy books if you don't mind? Since it's storyteller saturday :)

Hi @soso1777​! I don’t read as much fantasy anymore, so I hope you don’t mind some YA in your rec selection! More of a literary fiction geek, myself, but I will do my best!

Wow, it really has been a long time, let me go troll my bookshelf and Goodreads. Pardon my dust, lol.

The Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher

Personal fave, I try to reread it every year but never get around to it. But this year! I am already halfway through. It’s a fantastic series that combines Pokemon (and the myths and stories that inspired it!) and the Lost Roman Legion. The worldbuilding is amazing, Amara is my hero, the character arcs are awesome, the writing is incredible, and I love it. It does such a wonderful job of expanding the scope of the story as it moves forward.

Pendragon: Journal of an Adventure through Time and Space (Bobby Pendragon series) by D.J. MacHale

It has been a hot minute since I’ve read these, but I remember them being very good. Also very expansive, it follows Bobby as he travels to a bunch of different worlds to save them all from the evil Saint Dane. Cool world building and it all comes together in the end in interesting ways.Magic in Manhattan series by Sarah Mlynowski

Girl-oriented but a very fun read for anyone. Super cute and pretty funny and a lot like the old Sabrina tv show. Teenage witch antics!

Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt (It’s borderline, it’s middle grade, I’m counting it.)

It’s cute until it gets real sad. A classic. It’s a short and sweet story about a family who discovers eternal youth, and the girl who discovers them.

Kill the Farm Boy by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne

Not really my kind of book, but my friend absolutely loved it. A goofy romp through fairy tale and the least “Chosen One” of all Chosen One stories. Might give it another try, though! 

Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

You can’t go wrong with anything by these two. Good Omens, Discworld, Neverwhere, American Gods, all the short stories… Treat yourself to some ridiculously good stories and pick up some of their work.

Percy Jackson series and All Rick Riordan Books

Rick Riordan is a badass, go read all his books. 

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson (Graphic Novel! Very cute! Very good!)

Unburied Fables by a bunch of great queer authors! (queer takes on fairy tales!!!)

Patrick Rothfuss! Anything by him!

Ray Bradbury! (More scifi but who cares!)

Kurt Vonnegut! (Also more scifi but who cares!)

Peter and the Starcatchers! (have not read, friend has vouched for its goodness, though)

The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flemel series (read most of it, pretty good!)

That’s all I’ve got!

20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill

“He had been showing his collection for years. He was used to every kind of reaction.”

I'm not the biggest fan of short-story collections. Further more, I downright dislike reviewing short-story collections as one whole piece. Unless they're extremely connected, there's no way to write about all the stories in a collection as a whole without quickly sounding pretentious. But I also find it tedious to list all the stories within and review each and every one, so...

Sure, Joe Hill's  20th Century Ghosts is a collection of ghost stories, but rarely in the sense that you'd expect. See? If I go any further with that, I'll just start to sound like some insufferable grad student pulling shit out of my ass in a pathetic attempt to sound deep. So, yes, this is indeed a collection of ghost stories. There. That's settled. It's rarely a horror book, though. And the most successful short stories living within are more than just ghost stories. They are far more often bittersweet than they are bone-chilling, and significantly more emotionally devastating than terrifying in their exploration of loss.

The best stories within were "20th Century Ghost" (a passage from which - that made me feel understood in a way I seldom do - will close this review), which celebrates the life-changing nature of the cinema; "Last Breath" (from which the quote that opened this review came), which I thought was downright genius, boasting an amazingly creative, pitch-black concept delivered with efficiency and razor sharp teeth; and "The Cape", which had the wise words of Billy Butcher echoing in my head upon its ending... “With great power comes the absolute certainty that you'll turn into a right cunt.” Others I really dug were "The Black Phone" (though I'd give the film the edge, as I really liked what they added to it), "The Widow's Breakfast" (whose final line really takes it to the next level), and "Bobby Conroy Comes Back from the Dead" (the atmosphere and emotions it stirred felt real and hit home pretty damn hard). "Voluntary Committal" and the 'hidden' final story, "Scheherazade’s Typewriter", were also really damn good, but the former was significantly too long, and the latter had a concept and themes so hauntingly rich that I kind of wish Hill had reworked it into a full-length piece of its own.

The worst of the bunch (and really the only two I'd outright label, 'bad') were "My Father's Mask" and "You Will Hear the Locust Sing". Both came off as infuriatingly pretentious, and it made reading them excruciating, especially seeing as they were among so many great stories. There were others I disliked, or that bored me, and some I really got into while reading, but that didn't stay with me at all once finished, but none that I feel the need to write about here, as I feel like this has gone on too long as it is.

As an introduction to Hill,  20th Century Ghosts works quite well because it showcases his range of talent as a writer and wide scope of interest and creativity as a storyteller. I'm still not the biggest fan of short-story collections, though.

“A whole congregation of people who flocked to the Rosebud instead of church on Sundays, those whose prayers were written by Paddy Chayefsky and whose hymnals were composed by John Williams and whose intensity of faith is a call Imogene is helpless to resist. Alec himself.”
