We're rolling the clock back for this week's DnD Character Colouring Book, because I realised that this has been sitting in the CCB folder since 2024.
Garrr is from our previous Friday Night DnD Campaign, an in-joke that turned into a creative exercise on my part. As often happens. I still really like both the face on Garrr, but also the way those particular boots sit with that pose. And while that sword is generally too dumb to actually use for a character, I do really like it, and it makes complete sense for Garrr.
Honestly, he might get recycled at some point if I ever decide to actually play a full himbo.
Anyway...
I think we're at the end of Soup Season. Thus the last soup was my minestrone. And now I have to relearn how to make dry soup, aka salad.
Mini Media Reviews for this week goeth as follows...
Lilies. Thank you random Instagram post. This was a gay movie from the 90's that I'd never actually heard of, which is somewhat rare. The premise is slightly odd, and it took me a second to really work out who everybody from the past actually was in the present, but I don't know if that was me or if it was intentional. It's an interesting one, if only for the fact that, because of the premise, all the roles are played by men both in the present and the past.
Mother Mary. I really loved this. I don't wanna give anything away, but I kind of enjoyed the first half a lot more than the second half. Hathaway and Cole are both phenomenal though. The whole thing is pretty much a two hander, and would absolutely work as a play. Also the costumes... the COSTUMES.
The Last Kingdom. Season Four... only one season and the movie left to go. I am really loving this show, and I'll definitely be sad when it ends. So many good characters, so many hateable characters. So, so good.
Camelot. Friday was very much a smooth brain day. And no DnD, and no Movie Night. So I needed something to fill in my evening. That didn't require large amounts of brain or effort. And even though this was three hours long, it made the most sense to me. And Fluffy ended up simulcasting it along with me, which was nice. We didn't specifically set out to do that, but I made a comment early on and found he was also watching it. And speaking of costumes... goddamn. I don't honestly know how John Truscott (who also did the production design) managed to make that many shades of orange, brown and yellow all work so well, but he definitely did. The number of times it would cut to a new scene and either Fluffy or I would decree "THAT OUTFIT" over Discord. Are all the songs instantly forgettable? Yes. Is our supposedly French but actually Italian Lancelot both over emoting and also having his singing being dubbed? Yes. Is Richard "Dumbledore" Harris chewing the scenery in a terrible wig/haircut/eyeshadow? Absolutely. Does the movie just kind of end? Definitely. But it was still an enjoyable evening.
But like I said, no Friday Night DnD due to random sickness or proximity to same.
Anyway...
Not really a lot of excitement today either. Basically just the supermarket.
