Finally managed to watch Nosferatu (2024) - enjoyed it enormously - had that #ClassicHorror feel which really appeals to me.

Book Review: @johnfleonard.bsky.social returns with 'Strowg,' a novella that is equal parts horrific & touching. What happens when Strigoi take up residence in Bledbrooke? We get brutality & the longing for love. This was fantastic!

Hi new folks,
I post about movies (Mostly old)
I post photographs
(Mostly dumb)
And I talk about TTRPGS
(So many)
If I don't follow you back straight away just interact somehow so I know you're there.
(If you *only* post US politics I might not follow back, my feed is pretty full on that front)

So before the pandemic I didn't write smut or romantasy.
But I watched and read romantasy.
I was watched a harem isekai anime with my wife & our roommate. Don't judge. & my roommate said I should write a romance.
