🤭 ikr! "5 Stars" was hilariously funny, but dark as all hell. There are also like 1000 videogame references in it, which makes it the unofficial sequel to "Ready Player One"

Thanks for providing context. Oh yeah, I totally remember it now. The entire scene was hilarious and contained like 10 hidden references to videogames and obscure internet culture. 🤭 (i.e. the "immortal snail")

"Rhapsody" was a reference to "The Underworld Rhapsody"

Was this from a book or is it something you said in an interview, somewhere? Where was this quote from exactly?🤭

My deep and vast literary legacy, ladies and gents...💙📚

I didn't know you used to be anxiously-attached too. I always imagined you were avoidant before, given your proclivity for being on your own for very long periods of time, being an introvert, having few close friends & taking these super long walks in the forest. Yes, pls! I'd want some advice.🥰

This sounds EXACTLY like my current situationship that has been going on for 8 months. 😭 the guy is defo not working on himself or trying to heal his core wounds at all! He just...avoids everything. You have a secure attachment style, I can tell & are very calm & assertive. What would you advise?

From our last conversation, you seem to have a really, really deep understanding of advanced human psychology (Jung) but also attachment styles. It was pretty fascinating to hear about core wounds & how they get created in childhood for each attachment style. The DA seems likes the hardest to heal.

Yes please! I would really like some perspective on this. ☺️

I still want to know how you dealt with all those avoidants. I'm dealing with one right now and he's driving me up the wall!😅

Sweden & Finland are incredible countries.🥰 I would legit move there, even though I know I'll have a bad time in their culture. Too many cold, avoidant & emotionally unavailable people up North.

Lu, you're a warm person & you somehow lived there many years. How did you deal with all the avoidants?🤭

The Princess/Glinda style can be pretty sweet too!👸

But I totally understand your preference for Wednesday & her Victorian-Goth aesthetic.💀🖤 I'm a fan of the Goth aesthetic too (see below) because I'm a little bit kooky/eccentric.🤭

Would love to see your Halloween outfit tho, regardless what it is

so cute! I have 2 of my own! 🦜🦜

I’m normally wary of sequels, but since I’ve only seen the Goldblum film and HMV had the full boxset of 5 ‘The Fly’ films for £13, I succumbed. Plus I wanted to watch the Vincent Price version

I recently read the short story it’s all based on and enjoyed that as well

I think you got yourself another super fan, Lu. 🤭

at long last! 🤭:))

Yeah, tell us what you genuinely thought!

Just finished reading "Vivian Amberville - The Book of Chaos" by @louiseblackwick.com & I am shooketh!😮

Hands-down THE BEST DARK FANTASY STORY I've experienced (including all films, tv series & games). Nothing comes close to this epicness by a longshot. 💙📚

Reading book 1 not obligatory, but helps.

It's a strange killing at the Volcano Lounge in my mystery comedy Murder in Murk City: “I don’t care how many suckers you’ve lured into your shady eruption racket, Muggett. Not even the smell of burning magma can cover the stench of this killing.” bit.ly/43FRVGC #kindle #kindleunlimited #booksky

wow, Tim is talented AF! 😮

I am so freakishly proud of my talented friend, Tim de Man @timdeman.bsky.social, 🥰♥️ who is currently working on the #soundtrack for the videogame CLOUDHEIM! 🎵🎶

I read the story and it's not as bad as it sounds. It's actually a literary masterpiece worthy of Poe or Kafka.

But it's still a very scary story though. 🤭

Yes! 🤗
