I didn't make a whole lot of progress yesterday thanks to being extremely stuck in the initial chase scene with The Girl (which is what the monster I referenced in my last post is called). I think I might have encountered some kind of glitch since the sequence of events didn't match up with what articles were describing, so I'll describe what I did in case it's helpful.

I was at the section where Grace needed to get the screwdriver. I will note, I was pretty low on health at this point, and things weren't going great. XD Now, I had already moved the cart in and been chased around by The Girl twice, and apparently that meant the little hideaway structure was supposed to have disappeared. It hadn't, though, so I think that's where things were getting confused.

I feel like I'm having more and more days where I would like to wander off and become an ornamental hermit.

That is probably also a post on its own... This is, thus far, a weekend of feeling very old/turning to dust and blowing away, and general enshittification annoyances.

Beyond that, I have finished the Destiny Astray as far as I'm going to for now. Absolute nightmare, would build again in an instant. Though I suppose I'd much prefer to be able to afford the ridiculously difficult-to-get official version of the kit and build that. (I remain tickled that the not-actually-wrong translated name of the bootleg kit translated back as Heresy of Fate. So I suppose I should be calling it that.)

I will have to get some photos posted because while building it absolutely sucked, it looks gorgeous and absolutely passes the two-foot rule.

I am going to make good on my promise to build a bunch of 30MM kits for the next little bit...

There are no fewer than four gunpla/plamo contests with deadlines in March. One of which I am definitely committed to (Redacted III), another I strongly intend to do (30ML), and the others are if I have a brilliant and fast idea that I can knock out quickly and easily.

I have a lot of other projects I need to get (back) to, but at this point I just need to get myself together to get to the nerd show today and do that. One thing at a time...

(Please go vote in my poll if you haven't.)

I'm having so many conflicting emotions about this game, and I'm only an hour in. I am fascinated, irritated, confused, and I must finish it stat. So, I figured I would write up some of my thoughts as I make my way through it.

( Lots of thoughts and spoilers below... )

Current Mood: amused

Death Note: The Musical is coming to London this summer, which is pretty exciting news if you're me!

'Wow, is Riona posting an entry about something that's not The Goes Wrong Show?' - bad news, I'm afraid.

Tem: Are you looking forward to seeing your boy Light Yagami?
Rei: Played by Robert Grove.
Riona: That would be a bold casting decision, but I'd watch it.
Tem: Death Note Goes Wrong. Their 'prop Death Note' is an actual Death Note. They need to write in it during the show, so they just use the names of the people who bought tickets. At the end, they're going 'wow, this was our most successful performance ever, can't wait for the applause,' and the lights go up to reveal the entire audience dead, with Ryuk sitting in the front row and applauding.
Rei: They consider writing Jonathan's name in the Death Note, because it's the only way he'll be included in the play, but they decide against it because he's not part of the audience. That's the only reason he survives.
Riona: Or they write his name in the Death Note, but he survives because they misspell it.

Robert Grove also cannot be entrusted with a Death Note if he knows it's real, of course. If Robert sees an opportunity to secure the role he desires, he will take that opportunity immediately and think about it later, if at all.

Basically, Robert has no particular desire for anyone's death, but he will one hundred percent kill people if it's a straightforward way to get what he wants. I give it a week before he kills Chris in order to get the lead role and then goes '...hmm, I might regret that later.'

Dennis might actually be the safest member of the Cornley Drama Society to entrust with a Death Note. He wouldn't use it with the intention of killing anyone. He would almost certainly forget it kills people and start using it like a normal notebook, which is risky, but if he writes anyone's name he's probably going to misspell it.

Aaaaand then Robert would wrestle the notebook off him and use it to kill Chris so he can have the lead. Let's just not give the Cornley Drama Society a Death Note at all.

I keep wondering what Ibbi-Ilabrat thought about the sesame irrigation situation. Was it "Don't copy me on this email" or "Dude, you fuckin' tell him! That sesame is SCREWED!!"?

On a similar ~~note~~ tablet: the second part of the Ea-nasir saga reveals that even over 4,000 years ago, guys in the "our money or your kneecaps" business had nicknames like Shorty.

(Or a spider)

Today I learned the slingbaby was an actual baby in a sling, and that this term has nothing to do with baby spiders at all.

I want to see this argument from the alternate universe where someone was upset Vividcon wouldn't let them bring their nest of baby spiders into the viewing room. They need supervision!

... Parenting wank from spiders is truly the wank we need right now. <3

This post will consist of various silly Goes Wrong Show-related things I've posted to Tumblr recently!

I posted a poll to Tumblr, asking people for their favourite member of the Cornley Drama Society. The poll closed at 149 votes with Trevor firmly in first place (27.5%), followed by Chris (21.5%), Max (13.4%), Vanessa (10.7%), Annie and Dennis (8.7%), Jonathan (3.4%), Robert and Sandra (2.7%), and Lucy (0.7%).

(I don't think Lucy is an official member of the drama society, but I created this poll to see how things had changed in the three years since

personinthepalace asked the same question, so I thought I'd better make sure I had exactly the same options.)

I'm surprised and a little wounded by my beloved Robert's unpopularity! I'm just going to have to love him hard enough for everyone. (This will not satisfy him.)

Anyway, I wrote a little snippet of the characters reacting to the results:

( The Cornley Drama Society react to my character popularity poll. )

Another poll I've contemplated recently was this one from

questions-about-blorbos: Would you let your blorbo tie you up and do whatever they wanted with you?

My immediate reaction to this was 'oh, GOD.' Awful!! I think the only one of my blorbos who I actually find sexually attractive is Robert Grove of The Goes Wrong Show, but any sexual encounter with him is guaranteed to be regrettable, and involving bondage would be catastrophic. He ties me up and then gets distracted by an argument with Chris and then rehearses without rest for several days straight, and I am left tied to his bed for seventy-two hours.

Whilst I currently answer blorbo-related polls with Robert in mind, on account of being actively insane about him, the character I usually call on for these polls is Light Yagami of Death Note. Also a terrible idea to let him tie you up! I'm not sexually interested in him, he's not going to be sexually interested in me, and, perhaps most crucially: if he does want to tie me up, it's going to be because he wants to either kill me or frame me for murder. All things considered, I'd rather he didn't.

Finally: for Valentine's Day, I posted a Valentine's message from Robert Grove.

Please accept this as an extremely belated token of my affection for all of you.

Help me pick my next* build! (*Well, I have the Destiny Astray to finish, whatever I'm making for 30ML Day, the other contest, and possibly some other small decompression builds. Which is fine, it means I can leave this poll open for a bit.)

These kits are all not Gundams, nor are they made by Bandai. There's a frustrating habit in the hobby, both by the folks who build the kits and the folks selling them, to lump all these kits under "Third Party", "Indie Plamo", or just "ChinaPla" even though not all of the makers are Chinese. I haven't decided on a preferred term, but I'm leaning towards just listing the maker or if I need to refer to a larger whole, "Other Kits" or "Non-Bandai".

Pairing: slight Robert/Chris
Wordcount: 3,000
Summary: Chris and Robert are stranded in the Amazon rainforest together. It's not a great experience.
