I interrupt my planned character posts with this announcement - Fall Out Boy is coming to play a music festival not too far from me! I don’t know the price nor how I’d cope at a huge event like this, but to quote one of my favourite songs of theirs (and the song that they played as their Magic 8-Ball selection at their Toronto show), Oh hell yes!
I bought tickets today! I just hope this festival doesn't go the way of so many others and I lose all that money on them.

I don't think I'd posted pics of my most recent GW2 characters, made specifically for the new weapon specialsations.
Ulmacae as a gunslinging Guardian
Schplott as a pistol wielding Elementalist
Eudium the Short Bow using Engineer
Adynar the rifle toting Mesmer
Fened the dual wielding Necromancer
and
Malphigh as an axe chucking Thief
I'll eventually post their backgrounds and how they tie into the rest of the bunch.
I’ve been thinking of revamping my character page; GW2 characters, at least. I need to do something to encourage words again, and those characters all have these stories and inspirations that I’ve never managed to tell. So if by some miracle I manage to start posting these, I hope you’ll forgive me the spam.
I’ve been so stressed lately; there’s a lot of politics and management manipulations that have been doing my head in at work , I’m starting to feel the way I did when I left the library all those years ago. My anxiety is squeezing my head in a vice, and my sleep isn’t terrific. I’m starting to make mistakes at work as well, which sets off all kinds of downward spirals.
Also, mental note: no matter how much your brain wants to wallow in horror-y things before bed, Aile, don’t. It just raises your anxiety to the point where sleep becomes impossible. Stick with the relaxing ones instead. You know how The Magnus Archives sets you off.
I wish I wasn’t so tired. I haven’t enjoyed this CO episode as much as I should, and I’ve lost track of this whole ending. But that scene of Oscar and Cosmo back at the chapter house still made me tear up.
Looking forward to watching this when I’m compus mentis.
Candela Obscura: Circle of Tide and Bone episode 2 is streaming tonight! I’m so happy my one day off is falling tomorrow so I can watch it all without worrying about sleep debt.
I’ve been working on getting my own Circle together so I can actually play. I’m even willing to try to GM sometime, maybe sooner if my husband is too stressed to run it. That’s how interested I am in this world.
If things keep going the way they have been, I might just be coming back to Tumblr to dribble about my latest obsession. I’m years late for the Critical Role train, but ye gods and little fishies, I’ve been gobbling up this latest game they’re featuring, Candela Obscura. Like, to the point I’m actually starting to think about characters to RP and even game scenarios I might run.
I’m no GM, and all my attempts at tabletop RPGs have failed miserably, but I’m kind of thinking I want to give it another try, despite having only half the brain and time I used to. It’s that interesting to me.
Wow. First listenthrough of So Much (For) Stardust, and just as I suspected from the first singles, this album really talks to my depression, particularly in the lyrics. And it’s so much more symphonic than their earlier stuff.
Maybe I’ll have more observations once I’ve actually finished the album, but so far, holy shit.
Gah, the musical references to different rock eras! The music! The brokenness sounding joyful. The isolation and need for others… gah! *dribbles*
Though I cannot for the life of me remember the song/piece of music the title track reminds me of. It’s tickling the back of my mind, but I cannot yet bring it to the forefront.
Is it sad that I feel I want to finish the second season of Shadow and Bone before Netflix inevitably announces its cancellation?
Has anyone seen an uptick of pornbots here lately? Just me? Ok then.
If I don’t know you, I will report and block you.
Love From The Other Side out now ✨ New Album So Much (For) Stardust, produced by Neal Avron, out March 24th on Fueled By Ramen/DCD2 Records
I need to get back into the swing of writing again, even if it’s just twiddles. I haven’t felt inspired to actually put words together in years, and I miss it. I have so many characters, so many realms and ideas in my mind, but I haven’t had the ability to write.
I need to fix this.
Today in WTF, I was running around on my newest character when I suddenly got this in-game mail.
It was so random I just stood there stunned for a few minutes. This is what my character looked like at the time, FWIW:
