So, we're still in Icewind Dale Rangers territory for this week's DnD Character Colouring Book. And I'm not gunna lie, for the most part with Tabaxi characters, I just keep reusing existing versions and tweaking them, because why remake the wheel. And this remake of Cuts Like A Knife is very much a remake of a character I made for something else. I just changed some of the details and accessories.
And then added a fuckton of lunar moths. Because Swarmkeeper Rangers live in my brain rent free. And what's better as a swarm for someone who lives in a location where the run doesn't really shine than a bunch of moths. Honestly, I do kind of wish that the subclass had thought more about the implications of the line... "While you're alive, the swarm remains in your space, crawling on you or flying and skittering around you within your space."
So, just all the time. Always. Pooping. Swarm. Having sex. Swarm. Swimming. Swarm.
I do kind of prefer there being an activation trigger of some kind. Because I've always thought of this subclass in terms of Mushizō from Ninja Scroll... like, the most horrifying version of this idea. But not a constant swarm at all times.
Anyway...
Normally in March there is a week where it goes very specifically from Summer to Autumn. That week seems to have only really happened this week.
Vegetable soup with brown rice this week. Tasty, but ugly as fuck.
The Mini Media Reviews for this week are something of a mixed bag.
We start with The Garden of Words. I'm not completely sure that this anime counts as "a movie". Because it's literally only 46 minutes long. Also, Japan... can we not make movies about teenagers and adults "falling in love"? Can we just manage that? As, like, a bare minimum. And having the adult be a literal teacher at the boy's school (albeit one he doesn't recognise for some reason). Like, you could have done literally anything else other than that. Do better. And it's disappointing because it's a beautiful looking "movie".
Doubly annoying because it's the same creator who did Your Name and Suzume, both of which were amazing.
After that, I can really only blame myself. Fant4Stic. And I refuse to call it anything else. Wow... even if the studio took this off Trank and recut it and reshot a bunch of it, I find it incredibly hard to believe that this shit show was ever good. Because the script and the performances are just awful. Not even the raw charisma of Michael B Jordan can save this dumpster fire.
Last up was Lady Jane, which is a movie from 1986 that I've been aware of for a long time but never seen. And a very early movie for both Helena Bonham Carter and Cary Elwes. Is it very melodramatic and not at all historically accurate in a lot of the details? Yes on both counts. But still enjoyable.
Friday was Chiro Day... and also Doing A Lot Of Things In Town Day.
I swapped out one of the video games Fluffy got me for my birthday for two other games. Bonus. I also wandered around the library in town and picked up a bunch of stuff, then grabbed a couple of things in Kmart.
Friday Night DnD was another big fight followed by a lot of Seeing Terrifying Things. Good times.
Anyway.
We've reached the weekend where they just choose to block off a bunch of roads in Norwood so that people can go eat food on a medium strip in order to celebrate football or some bullshit. Fuck literally all the way off.
So basically we did the supermarket and called it a day.
