The good thing about Babymetal fans is that even some long term fans have Momometal as their favourite member. They're wrong, the correct answer is Moa, but it's good. And even if another fan's favourite member is the wrong one you can go, "I can respect that. Even if you are wrong."😁

Happy Thur #lesficfri Friends! 🤗 Tomorrow's theme is ****QUICK**** There are a lot of things that can happen QUICKLY in a story, would you agree? A QUICK smile, gasp, wink, shrug...the list is endless. What's happening QUICKLY with your characters these days? 👀😉🏃‍♀️

This is the next post to go viral. Gain credibility by liking and sharing it before everyone else. Replace a word in your favourite film with your favourite number: Evil 8 2.

A horse walks into a bar. The barman says, "Don't get many of your type in here." The horse says, "Does that mean I'm not welcome?" The barman says, "You got it. Now move along."

A horse walks into a bar and says "Two creme de menthes please." The barman comes around the bar and opens the horse revealing two sheep. "Get out. You're barred."

A horse walks into a bar, "Double vodka, quick." The barman says, "What's wrong?" The horse says, "I just saw a chicken cross the road." The barman says, "You're joking."

Not to make the people who live in castle deprived areas feel inadequate, but the county (yes county, not country) I live in has so many they could run "guess the castle" picture competition every month for over 2 years.

Having read posts from sci-fi fans, I tried bluffing my way in a fan group. I failed. When asked what my favourite shows were, I said "Stargates G1, and Star Trek 5 Oyager."

Remember when companies had sensible names? Nowadays they're all Inqivinj and Fujeyenuh and Porcenk. And they all promise to grow your potential awareness in cyber online markets utilising the latest volatile agency.

Tears were streaming down the young woman's face. Kamina swatted an angry hand at them to wipe them away and smeared a bubble of snot over her cheek. Even wet and daubed with mucus, Kamina was still the most beautiful thing Hila had ever seen. #LesFicFri #OrionSpurSeries

Happy Fri #lesficfri Friends! 🤗 Today’s theme is ****Angry**** What’s got your characters ANGRY these days? 😡😤🤬😖

This week I started watching The Orville. This week I gave up watching The Orville. The scripts and acting were mediocre at best and it made the cardinal sin of making main characters stupid and ineffectual.

'That means I could be going into a war!' Tehvay thought, but she did not give voice to her sudden concern. She didn't want to end an otherwise pleasant evening on such a serious note. 'Besides, there's nothing I can do about it; I go where she goes.' #LesFicFri #OrionSpurSeries

Happy Thur #lesficfri Friends! 🤗 Tomorrow's theme is ****SERIOUS**** Is something SERIOUS going on in your stories these days? Or nope! Something SERIOUSLY not? 😕🤨🤔😐🫤

"If you were a slave, the very notion that you could resist and fight back is anathema to everything you believe. The concept is totally alien to you. You have no idea that the concept of resistance exists, let alone have a word for it." #LesFicFri #OrionSpurSeries

Happy Fri #lesficfri Friends! 🤗 Today's theme is ****BELIEVE**** What are your characters BELIEVING these days? 🤔👻🐉🪄🙏

1. 1 racist. 2. 2 racists. 3. 3 racists. HA HA HA I love to count. 4. 4 racists. 5. 5 racists... 50. 50 racists... I don't love to count anymore.

What feels like a STAR TREK but isn’t actually a STAR TREK. Shall I go there... mmm... oh I went there.

What feels like a STAR TREK but isn’t actually a STAR TREK.

Why do people like Chewbacca? Clone Wars - captured, Solo - captured, Clone Wars - captured, Empire Strikes Back - captured, Rise of Skywalker - captured. The guy's useless. #StarWars

Futurama predicts the future Fry: Wait a minute, I know what's going on here. You've all become idiots. Bender: Hey, let's all join the Reform party. Everyone: Yeah.

The late Galyn Gorg played Helen of Troy in an episode of Xena in 1996. Of course this was before racists knew how to use the internet. #HelenOfTroy

Me: Time to take my pills. My Body: I think you need to pee. Me: I know, 2 seconds. MB: P-- Me: Yes. Oh I need to start a new blister pack. Where's-- MB: Pee! Me: Hang on. MB: PEE! Me: 2 sec-- MB: PEEEEEEEEEEEE! Fuck my body.

Some thoughts on #SkyF1 coverage. If they spent less time telling us what's coming up, they could have more content. If they stop Ted Kravitz rambling on about whatever just attracted his attention, they could have more content. Very brave decision not to have theme music this year.

It's been dull and overcast all day. I finally get up the energy to move and turn the light on. 5 minutes later, the sun is out and I've got to build up the energy to move and turn the light off.

There's a saying: "Learn from the past to avoid making the same mistakes." It seems the right wing has taken this to heart. Unfortunately they seem to think the mistake is the Nazis lost.

"Is there a point to your story?" Rikana thought for a moment. "No. Unless, it's that if you want to go down on me, don't expect me to return the favour." #LesFicFri #OrionSpurSeries

Happy Thur #lesficfri Friends! 🤗 Tomorrow's theme is ****WANT**** Such a small word but can carry big emotions. Is there something one of your characters WANTS badly? 🚗❤️‍🔥🐶🧳

FYI The Welsh Senedd just passed a law making it a crime to lie while election campaigning. Only one member voted against it, Reform's Laura Ann Jones.

*Werner Herzog voice*: Having seen her next video, I feel only sorrow at the inevitability of total societal collapse that its release will set in motion.

Who will be next to release a video, You, Ami Yamato, or Natalie Tran? My money is on Nat.

Kikola slid her hand down until it found the bare flesh of Tehvay's leg. Tehvay did not object, so Kikola slowly moved her hand up Tehvay's thigh. She felt Tehvay's muscles tense. 'Should I stop', thought Kikola. #LesFicFri #OrionSpurSeries book 2

The other day I heard a radio presenter ask a question and he added "Don't AI it." Is AI now a verb, or does being a radio presenter make you stupid?
