Fae 💫

On that note can someone give me a TL;DR on what on earth has been happening with modern day in Shadows. There's been stuff happening, right. Do I need to care about any of it

I was telling a friend about AC Syndicate at the weekend, and my heart squeezed. I miss that game. I miss the time and the friends and the place I used to be in 2015... it was a good life we lead, brother. I will fall back in love with you again one day, AC, be it with Hexe or sooner

Time for my regular "I miss Assassin's Creed" post. I yearn for the old days. I will play Mirage and Shadows, and I'm sure I'll love them! But the vibe around Ubisoft since 2020, the drifting of the community, once I felt like I couldn't be helpful to others any longer it felt best to take a break

We have such limited time on this earth, I'm not gonna spend my free time like that. We can do literally anything else! In current times more than ever, we have to protect our peace

I get it, I used to reply to people who wanted to be mad about Assassin’s Creed sometimes. But now if someone wants to get negative in my hobby space, I don’t feel any need to engage with that. This is my hobby space! No wonder everyone slowly withdrew from AC fandom spaces, it’s exhausting

I feel bad admitting I still skim Twitter every so often, just to catch up on ppl who aren’t here, even though I’ve stopped posting there. And so much of it is friends replying or arguing with bad faith actors. You don’t have to do this any more. You’re free. You can stop. Get off that site

el woowoo #triguncelebration

I ended up going to the Natural History Museum three times in the last 2 weeks (and only two of those times were related to Pokémon) and it was nice... my favourite museum in the world and yet it still feels like a special treat. I can actually go there any time, and I should

I don't even wear hats

I just fished it out to wear for Perfect Order prerelease, and the big party day we're having on release weekend to open packs together. I've come full circle that I actually play the TCG now and have never been more excited for a TCG set (it's the Zygarde set) (so I should wear The Zygarde Hat)

"A weird plea for anyone playing at #PokemonWorlds — I have become bizarrely infatuated with this Zygarde hat at the prize booth. It costs 30 points (?) and please god if anyone can help get me one I’ll pay/barter/etc. I’m not a hat person but something about it!! I want one!"

"I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY TCG (and lost every game) JUST TO ENTER AN OPEN FOR THIS … and it was fun, everyone was so nice 🥺 came for the hat, stayed for the card game"

"I can't believe my Zygarde hat, which I spent 2 days trying to win and only wore for 10 minutes, ended up immortalised like this"

Wanted to chronicle the tale of The Zygarde Hat over here. One of my fondest memories of Worlds 2022 was people (whom I had not yet spoken to, so must have heard about my quest from others) stopping me in the venue to ask if I'd won The Zygarde Hat yet

I only have three of these left..!! I’ll see if I can restock but if you want one for FanFest travels now is your time

I am still enjoying it bc it's fun :) But I only ever tried Trigun whatsoever bc I loved Studio Orange's animation work and the trailer for Stampede looked beautiful. Houseki no Kuni is stunning. Now I'm not even all that interested in a second season of that any more

Trigun Stargaze scene

Stampede's scenes, even with very harsh sunlight, had such nice colour grading and compositions. You'd get fun camera-like tricks with exposure and focus. Stargaze has just been flat boring harsh lighting with no interesting compositions... it's so sad

My biggest disappointment with Trigun Stargaze is not the pacing or the writing, it's just how... bland it looks... Stampede was so beautiful bc they could lean into more film-like lighting and shots. It used the 3D animation to it's advantage. Stargaze has just been animated like a budget 2D series

Wolfwood: "Yeah. I just almost died for a bit."

After last week, I can't believe they just be letting Wolfwood say shit like this

Scones and tea

Ate scone. I’m really getting my treats in this weekend

Popped you an email!

Very nice sticker that is going to take honour of first sticker I put on my still clean fresh 2 year old laptop

Sticker of “THE BRIDE” bottle from Trigun Maximum

Bought my Wolfwood death episode memorial sticker before last week’s episode, and now it’s arrived, and he gets to still be alive 🎊 neat

Saw my old favourite dinosaur for the first time in a while so it was a good day

Easily missed (because security was obscuring it lol), but they have the original artwork for Pikachu at the Museum by Naoyo Kimura on display at the NHM 🥺 Amazing to see the intricate pencil work, and how much further the art extends beyond the card borders!

@archaeomal.bsky.social Do you still need the Pikachu at the Museum card? I think I remember you posting about them, and I've ended up with a spare. Would be more than happy to send it your way :D

Crepe Suzette

Ate a crepe

To me, the best part about everyone posting that Pokopia has the highest Metacritic rating of any Pokémon game ever, is seeing that the second highest rated has in fact been Pokémon XY this whole time

Screenshot from Trigun Badlands Rumble of Wolfwood in the back of a car eating a sandwich. He is not wearing his seatbelt

Watched Trigun Badlands Rumble. I get why it has a weird reputation, but it was enjoyable enough. My favourite part this shot of Wolfwood eating his Subway in the backseat
