Ok I haven’t seen Cursed Child yet. I have not read it either. I have it but haven’t read it.
I’m going to defend it though. Everyone that I have spoken to that has seen the play changes their mind about hating it. It was never meant to be read, it was meant to be seen. My cousin saw it and said it was amazing. The hosts of the podcast swish and flick loved it and cried through a big portion of it. They now accept it as canon.
We may not want to accept it as canon but it may not be as bad as we think.

Ok, but that is the most convoluted fanfic plot ever. I mean, extreme time turners, secret love child, crazy trolley lady? It may be a good show to see, but it has a terrible plot.

I agree from the standpoint of someone that hasn’t seen it. I will reserve final judgement until after I see it (whenever that may be). I was firmly on team #IHateCursedChild until I heard from multiple people that changed their minds. There has to be something about it that makes sense for the 20ish people I know that have seen it to completely turn their opinion around. None of them know each other and yet they all said the same thing. They all said it makes so much more sense after you see it. There has to be some truth to it.

It heard it’s gorgeous and well done (acting wise), but the plot is still the same. And the plot is just 🤢

I saw Cursed Child twice and loved it both times. I read the book version prior, and did not love it, but the way it is done on stage just makes it so much better. I don't know if I exactly accept it as Canon in my head, but it's a breathtaking show and reading it does not compare at all. Maybe I spent so much time in Fandom and reading and writing fanfic that having multiple canons in my head isn't really a big deal? Also, alternate universe/alternate timeline fic was my jam for a long time (I even created an LJ group called Alternate_HP or something back in the day) so maybe that's part of it.

Do you ever go to read something the author described as a drabble and thne look at the word count and it's like 8k words? Not an epic of course, but Drabble this is not!

I don't know if this belongs here, but I got Patricia Cornwell's new book on a Kindle First Read deal and I just don't even know what is going on. I read the prologue and maybe three pages in the first chapter and quit. I love her Dr. Scarpetta series but I don't think I can get into something about the Space Force.

So DH decided to try the kids on HP anyways and they made it about 20 minutes in before it was "too scary" and we had to turn it off. It was a little hard not to say "I told you so" to him. I know it's not really all that scary of a movie, but they don't really watch anything not Disney at this point.

So I have some really excellent friends who have declared this month of my birthday "The Month of Pianolove" and every time I see them they bring me little gifts. It's the sweetest most genuine thing anyone has done for me. This is part of what they got me, and they just came by with sims 4 😱

Did anyone get the advanced access to the wizarding world of Harry Potter app? It’s basically all the shenanigans that pottermore has been up to for month put into an app. It’s pretty fun.

Infinity Saga box set trailer out on youtube since yesterday, I think. I haven't seen price or date details. But, wowza, that trailer.....
And now I'm mad again all over at Sony....I really do think it's them, or, they have the worst spin doctors out there.

Since MH runs a D&D game, he talks about it a lot and is always reading books about it. Well my 4yo must be noticing because she was playing “school” today and told us that if we were naughty she would send us to the dungeon. 😂

I'm coming up for air from my sims 4 hole. After my kids go to bed that's how I've been spending my evenings. I actually quite like it, it reminds me a bunch of sims 2 except the loading screens are like 3 seconds instead of 10 minutes. Much more modern as well.
I'll probably keep sims 3 forever though, because I like the integrated world and how it's all seamless. And I like being able to lock the wishes and stuff.

I dont know if you guys have ever heard of them before but McFly has reunited and is going on tour in 2020! Its only in the UK, but Im kind of hopeful they might come to the States at some point. If nothing else I hope that means that Album Six is going to be forthcoming. They were my obsession right before Teen Wolf took over my life, I even watched tour videos and own their autobiography. I discovered them because Danny Jones was a judge on the Kids Voice UK. They are seriously amazing and I could listen to them forever.
This is just Tom, one of the singers, but this song was like my theme song for us moving here from our hometown.
This is them, but they have so much variety in thier music and its all so damn catchy.

Also my H found me some extensions for AO3 that are amazing. One gives me a floating review box so I dont have to wait until the end of the story to comment. The other one is my absolute favorite and is THE SHIT! It shows me if Ive left kudos and/or bookmarked a fic. I can also just mark it as SEEN in case I didnt like it so I didnt leave kudos.This is amazing because there are so many times Ive read a story and go to leave kudos just to find out Ive already read it before. Its life changing. Also its an excellent way to see that Ive read a fuckload of fic lol.

They are talking about rebooting Wlaker Texas Ranger. Jared Padalecki is in talks to be Walker. So my grandma used to love this show, I grew up watching it with her. I caught a few episodes a few years ago and OMG it was an experience lol

My ASD sibling was fixated on the show and so it was on every Saturday night. I don't see Chuck Norris being easily replaced though
