Thank you, Amanda! 🖤
It's at a few reposts now - there's a lot of accounts that do nothing but repost women's selfies and that's their whole content. I don't mind it that much, if they don't make it creepy in quote posts or comments 😬
Thank you, Sky!
Of course they made completely unnecessary sequels. 😅 Might watch the original one at least then, now I'm curious!
Apparently Tobe Hooper directed a movie adaptation?
Just read Stephen King's The Mangler (light-hearted morning reading, I know) and this is totally why I just don't iron clothes.
Top tip for complimenting women: don't call women's body parts gear. Love bsky immediately labelling him as 'Rude' at least.
Thank you, Tanya! 😊
Thank you, sweet Kari!
Thank you Coco! 🖤🖤🖤
Good evening from me pretending I'm showing off my new crushed velvet top, but actually showing off my waist because I'm very proud of my weight loss. Thank you for your understanding. 🖤
His neck is wider than his head too. You could strangle him by making him wear a turtleneck sweater
Woke up to this guy being extremely suspicious of me.
Thank you!
Thank you ✨✨✨
Thanks!
Just completed the next step of the hiring process for that job in the film industry, and next week I'll hear if they want to meet me. Fingers crossed 🖤✨
Love seeing a person in a well-designed monster suit so much more than a full CGI monster
Trying to make myself (Waluigi's daughter apparently) now and the sculpting is surprisingly hard to get right. I can't get it to look like me 🥺
Stunning!
I will not be taking any questions at this time, thank you
My brain deserves better
@xshike.bsky.social made sexy Waluigi for our Fallout 76 game and unfortunately it looks exactly like my dad when he was younger. Thoughts and prayers please.
About to do some wild pre-shower make-up (iykyk)
That's exactly what I thought!
Definitely still enjoyable but it felt like two different movies hammered into one.
Awesome! Thank you for the reminder I need to order Black Flame btw 🖤
📽️ Currently watching SUNSHINE (2007, Danny Boyle). Confused how I've never seen this before. I love space sci-fi, it's Danny Boyle, and the cast is s t a c k e d. It snuck past me somehow. 👀
What's the haul? 📚
Making this a post because with the attempted 'revision' of the reality of American Slavery, everyone should read Beloved. There's also an audiobook narrated by Toni Morrison herself, which delivers the emotion even harder.
A classic but I remembered it because I found an essay I wrote on it at university while sorting through my Google Drive last week - have you had a chance to read Beloved by Toni Morrison? Obviously very heavy but I think you would appreciate it.
And that's not even touching on the ethics of your personality and memory being perverted by AI after you die. Any company working on and profiting from this is disgusting, morally bankrupt and irredeemable.
I could write up an extensive list of horror and sci-fi stories on why holding onto an imitation of your deceased loved one is a bad idea. But common sense should do it too. Clinging to an echo of someone you lost will at best make you unable to move on and at worst drive you actually insane.
GA, my life is pretty good overall but my tits still deserve better x
This is me every single time I get my nails done. Maybe next week I'll get black?
Haven't posted a #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday in a while 📽️🖤
Trashy it's 4 pm for you. (But go on, it's never too early for spicy margaritas.)
In the last episode of Star Trek's #StrangeNewWorlds, the city they show as being on planet Tezaar is Antwerp. I'm not joking or saying it's just similar, that is quite literally a satellite picture of the Belgian city of Antwerp. Very curious if it was deliberate???
Your cat can see ghosts
The circus vibe to the music throughout was great btw, not just in the theme song
📽️ I had a certain type of day so I'm trying to relax with... this. KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE (1988, Stephen Chiodo). The clowns' faces actually freak me out btw.
Exactly 😌
Looking at some more jobs in case the one I'm excited about doesn't work out, and holy hell. If your background is in writing/editing, half the job ads are AI-related. No I do not want to post-edit AI texts or write AI prompts for a living. Stop destroying your own industries please.
My comments are feral today 🥲
I'll allow it this once 😌
Just saw a video where the scent of the guy's body wash was called Naval Diplomacy. The concept of naval diplomacy. Men, you're allowed to smell like fruits or flowers. A coconut or lavender scented soap won't shrink your penis, I promise.
LORE
He is extremely soft too ✨
Ooh just looked it up, I like the concept!
Behold my friend's big-ass cross-eyed cat. Thank you.
Gm 🖤
Gm x
I've got a weak heart so if I die it's on you nbd
📽️ Squeezing in a short film tonight: currently watching The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023, Wes Anderson). I love the storytelling format in this one so much, and the sets are incredible. I'm having actual emotional feelings about how beautiful some shots are. ❤️
Thank you, Linnéa! 🖤
I am once again thinking about John Carpenter’s Creature from the Black Lagoon, which featured a design by Rick Baker of the Gill-Man. Universal reportedly canceled the project after Memoirs of an Invisible Man fared poorly at the box office.
If only our pets lived as long as we do!
Thank you!
I took Spencer to the vet today and some of his old age ailments got worse, but he's still doing very well for a nearly 15 y/o boy. Can't believe I raised him from a puppy to a super senior old man 🥺🖤
Gm, Blue! X
Morning 🖤
Cinephile status revoked for now. Will be returned upon watching three movies for the theme this week.
📽️ I've been a bit busy and the movie watching machine has slowed down a bit, but today I saw TOGETHER (2025, Michael Shanks). Schedules willing, @xshike.bsky.social and I should be doing another themed movie week this week as well!
Please behold my supreme skill in taking photos of animals while hiding in some bushes x
Yes! This game really picks up after you've done the introductory story and you're free to do all the insane side quests (no spoilers but I have a few favourites) 🖤
The new hairstyle suits you so much! It's just as vibrant as you are ❤️
He's really trying to put the phobia in homophobia. You're not scared, you're an asshole.
I had this once with a Black Sabbath shirt. Which I was wearing while physically at the Ozzy Osbourne tour. No dude, I have no idea who Black Sabbath are and accidentally stumbled into this concert venue. 😐 I think it's an attempt at negging sometimes when they do this.
Ooh they support/fund the Belgian gaming industry too. Very interesting 👀
I've been asked to apply for a job in the film industry, which I would obviously love, but the job itself would be much more admin work than my current job. But the environment would be a lot more interesting. Struggling between industry vs job content, but I think I'll just apply and see 🖤📽️
"A friend remembered the French language" is hilarious to me somehow 🥲
I've only played for an hour but it's fun! But I do really like these types of games and I've played Anno 1404 before as well. It's so cheap on Steam right now, good time to give it a try!
I picked up Anno 1800 because it's on sale for like 5 euros, which I thought was a fairly serious historical management sim, and then the in-game name generator decided to call me Lil Nutslinger. 10/10, no notes 🥲
I don't live in the UK either, but I do visit often, so I'll have to see if I can make it myself 🥲
I made spicy chicken quesadillas just now and I wish I'd thought of having spicy margaritas with them 😩
Because of this I've also just learned about DANDY DUST, a truly wild film by trans filmmaker Hans Scheirl. Really intrigued by the description. Not sure where to find it if I can't make it to this screening, but I'd love to watch it.
Exactly, I hadn't heard of Dandy Dust yet tbh! Sounds really interesting.
I hope I can make it to one of these screenings at the @princecharlescinema.com 🖤 I love the original Tetsuo (like I enjoyed it a worrying amount.)
Beautiful little ratty dumpster man 🖤
Yeah I probably will still watch it eventually when it hits streaming because curiosity will get the better of me tbh
I still love Superhero movies and I've loved many MCU movies, but Marvel's lost me here. You can't make a good or even decent movie without a clear vision and direction, and with Doomsday they're just stumbling about hoping it turns into a coherent movie somehow.
Ok maybe a little 🥺
If you see me playing Fortnite, please know the decision was out of my hands 😔
"By far the biggest expense when making games is salaries." Whose salaries?
My good name is being slandered on social media 😔
Ikr! And even the ramen cup they come packaged in is so cute to keep
Rawr 🐆 (Happy weekend!)
Ooooh ❤️
Absolutely valid, going to see if I can get them somewhere without paying for customs and shipping from the US though
It's insanity, the entire creative process BEFORE putting pen on paper (or hands on keyboard) is as much part of writing as anything else
I want the Godzilla or Mothra holding the little ramen bowl 🍜
@xshike.bsky.social Good timing to have it on our list for next week 🙌
Also wondering how much AI slop agents are being sent these days. Must take longer for actual writers to get feedback when querying agents now? (Agents can definitely tell AI slop from a mile away, but I imagine it still takes extra time with being sent larger amounts to sift through.)
Imagine thinking 'I want to take up the craft of writing... Minus the writing'??? I'm dead
Omg a friend just told me his brother is 'writing' a science fiction novel... with ChatGPT. I can't imagine starting a whole creative project because you were inspired by something... and then having the AI do it? It's really shit too btw, like hilariously bad. As anyone with a brain would expect.
Release planned for Spring 2026 though. I shall have to be patient (sad train noises)
A friend saw this being presented at Gamescom and messaged me: "It's like Tony Hawk Pro Skater, but you're a train, in Japan." It's like they analysed my brain specifically for the perfect game, I'm so sold. ✨
Love it! ❤️
