I’m exhausted and ready to fall asleep ASAP.

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday season! I’m exhausted and ready to fall asleep ASAP. Me too. I've been up since 5:30. No one sleeps in on Christmas over here. Last night was terrible. The kids were up three times between 10-12 due to the storm noise. Even I couldn’t sleep during it and I had my own white noise on. And then they were up at 4:45 for good.

No! I let my sister borrow my laptop! I'm still playing King of Avalon and I'm the leader of my alliance. And let me fucking tell you what, that shit is like a full time job. 😅 I'm currently taking a break from KoA, but I believe it. Our alliance was merging with another, but I just didn't have the time with real life getting in the way. What are your thoughts on the kingdom mergers coming up? I am sad because our kingdom isn't eligible for the merge. We just turned a year old in November. But I think it will be good for a lot of kingdoms. Even ours is kind of dying. We've lost a lot of players in the last few months. I also don't spend anymore. Bit we finally have peace and that's been nice, I save a lot of gold. I'm hoping they might change it to kingdoms a years old and up. I think a lot of people are looking forward to it while also dreading it because they don't know how many bugs there will be. We were looking forward to people being taken down a few pegs. I'm just glad I don't have to rebuild territory. We have two farm alliances that boarder our main alliance so none of the big bags can touch our boarders. And after we did it everyone else did it too lol. We also have a nice defensive boarder to the north so even when assholes port to the edge it takes a long time to march to our hive. I'm pretty proud of it because it's me and one other girl who have designed it all. I like to call our kingdom As the Kingdom Turns, it's like a soap opera. And unfortunately I am not just a side character, I'm a main character with a few specials to my name. 😅😅 But some of the people I've met in my alliance are literally a part of my family now! I also call it the most expensive Tinder App on my phone.

I hope everyone has a healthy and happy New Year!
We played Forbidden Sky (Christmas present) while drinking champagne. Then I was all cozy in bed by 10 and slept like a dream...the best way to start 2021!

This should probably go into the Confessions thread, but I am so looking forward to the much delayed Falcon & Winter Soldier debut in March. I'm really nervous about the new COVID variant being way more transmissible, and I have reasonably high risk factors, but darn if Kaylee's quote doesn't keep ringing in my mind waiting for this darn show.
Kaylee Frye: The hell with this I'm gonna live!

Hi! I want to go here but don’t feel cool enough to!
Anyway, I’m making costumes for DS’s birthday party in Star Wars theme. It’s not until May but I’m weird and plan things in advance. He also wants it to double as his Hallowe’en costume this year too and I don’t think he’ll change his mind. Darth Vader for him, Din Djarin for myself and Grogu for DD.
ANYWAY, I adore how smart and innovative people are when it comes to cosplay and crafting in general. It genuinely makes me laugh and warms my spirit. I don’t know how I’d exist without tutorials and other cool things I use from the internet.
Does anyone cosplay? I haven’t but I think it’s cool.

I don't have the time, money, or patience necessary to really cosplay. Though I love it. It's awesome to see all the costumes when you walk into a con. Also welcome. There is no secret handshake or entry fee! Stay and play and chat with us! We do movie nights once a month and started doing online escape rooms last month too.

Some of the get ups are insanely pricey and mind blowingly intricate. Idk how they do it but I’m impressed. I tried making a more cosplay-esque costume for DS last Hallowe’en and he ended up looking more like a mascot 😂. That sounds super cool! I will try to keep up and participate with that.

Fictional character depression here I come. I just saw that they’re recasting one of my favorite characters in Discovery of Witches for Season 3 due to scheduling conflicts *shakes fist at Covid for ruining everything*. RIP Trystan Gravelle’s Baldwin. It’s because he’ll be filming Amazon’s LOTR series so fx it’s good.

He’s a grumpy asshole and I love him. I was just creeping on the GD Randoms and saw you’ve been watching! I’m waiting for all of Season 2 to come out so I can binge it.

Although who do I love? Book Baldwin? Show Baldwin? Fan fiction Baldwin? He’s such a dick but my brain was like “Yes! You! I pick you to be my fav character for no rational reason!”

I pick you to be my fav character for no rational reason!” So far I quite enjoy him. Once I finish season 1 I'll probably try the books. Season 2 isn't out yet? I really don't like Diana, other than the actress playing her being hot, but I'm told she's better in the books. Season 2 is currently on air, I think 3 more episodes need to be released. I agree Diana is kind of obnoxious at first. I’m meh about Matthew as well. I think the show did a good job casting and fleshing out some of the secondary characters and I really enjoyed that. I read the trilogy when I was freshly postpartum with dd and really enjoyed them because I needed that fantasy escapism. I hope they’ll hold up of I ever reread them. There was a fourth book that was a random followup focusing on Marcus. I didn’t like it as much. It was a split perspective and I wanted more of Marcus and his history.

I think I read the first book of that series...I should pick it up again. And maybe try the show. H will be leaving for a year in a couple of months and I’ll need things to do, like watch new shows.

I’ve decided to rewatch Season 1 to get ready for Season 2. I watched the first two episodes tonight. All the buildings are so pretty.
