Above is a picture of my version of the toy we made in DT. Isn’t it adorable

All the staying after school payed off because I understood basically all of the questions. However I was too slow so was unable to answer them all. I am not upset about this because I know I can get faster with times practise.

Bonus chapter for a Sunday of my discord fic! We have some movement here that is really exciting. I hope you all enjoy!

Read the chapter on AO3 here!

Excerpt:

“Can I see it?” Luke shifted a little closer as Din held out his phone. “Oh, shit, this is perfect.”

“I’m going to do it, then.” Din’s eyes met Luke’s and they stared at each other for a moment.

“Do it.” Luke bit his lip as he leaned closer. They kissed again before Din held up his phone.

I killed a man this morning; He cut me off on the freeway so I cut out his eyeballs and left him on the side of the road. That puts the grand total up to four this week. It’s a little high, I know, but it’s been a rough work week. Now I know what you’re thinking: how do I have time to do it all? I have a full-time job, I’m a full-time guardian AND I’m a killer?! I’m not aiming for Woman of the Year but let’s be honest; I’m pretty damn close.

I must admit that this kill wasn’t my favourite. When I stuck the tire iron through his eye socket I got his blood all over my hands and it took nearly half an hour to get it out from underneath my fingernails. Good thing I was running a little early this morning. Sandra had an early morning band practice so I figured I would get in to work and catch up on some filing that has been piling up on my desk since the beginning of the year. But sometimes you need to accept that pleasure will come before business if an opportunity presents itself.

That’s what I believe: seize every opportunity that comes your way because it could change your life. I know some of you think it’s absolutely terrifying but I think change is a good thing. Go with the flow; that was my sister’s motto. I know, I know: look where it got her, but I maintain that the philosophy can hold true even if it did land some people in prison. You still have to admire her initiative and I, for one, am proud of her. I’m less impressed that she got caught and am certainly more wary of the mistakes she made but all in all, I’m proud of my baby sister. I certainly don’t have the guts to do it so near a police station. That’s not to say I don’t take risks. I certainly have had my fair share of close calls.

Okay, I could stand to be a little more adventurous in my choice of victims. Maybe it would heighten things if I did it closer to a public area. What do you think, dear readers? Should I start seizing more opportunities closer to home? I know my husband would like it if I were home earlier. James is always complaining about my fluctuating hours despite my assurances that it’s a necessary sacrifice. That man is very lucky that I love him.

Our anniversary is coming up. Six years. It’s not a big number but it’s still significant. We have been married for six whole years. Six. You learn a lot about a person in six years: how they take their coffee, how they dress when they have something on their mind, what they look like when they’re about to kiss you.

That man has turned me into such a sap, I tell you. God help me, if I let him talk me into this trip to the mountains this weekend. It might be nice to get some fresh air. New meat; anonymity; no kids. It would be nice. And a bit of change would be good.

Alright I’ll do it. James and I will go away this weekend and enjoy some guilt-free anonymous pleasure in a cozy ski lodge in the mountains. It’s late in the season - there won’t be too many skiers - so it’ll be easier to get one alone and I can finally try that new strangling technique. Heather, the loud mouth bitch that she is, is very good at giving me ideas on how to spice up my marriage – without cheating on my husband. I swear, the only reason they haven’t found her body on the morning news is because she’s a damn good secretary. That bitch.

Anyways.

Thank you, dear readers, for your kind suggestions but I don’t think I’ll name myself. Named serial killers always put too much attention on the killer and not on the victims and I want them to get their 15 minutes of fame. It’s a nice tribute to the life I added to my collection. I always take notes during the news segments: their name, where they worked, what family they left behind, the basic stuff. My notebook is running out of pages. But that reminds me: if you learn any details (eye witness statements, video surveillance, if you knew the victim) just post them in the comments below. It’s a big help to me. I like to know as many details as possible.

Well, you won’t hear from me until at least Tuesday but I’ll be sure to tell you all about my little getaway. It should be exactly what I need.

As always, dear readers,

Hey gang!

Despite finals, I’m still on track for a PU either on or shortly after (26th or 27th) christmas -- the content will definitely be done by then, so it’s just a matter of how hard the editing is.

As a little preview, here’s a small video demonstrating just a couple of Capboy’s new moves along with a mechanic I’m extremely excited about: partial turning!

(animated)

An issue a lot of people (and myself) had with the old combat system was that it was extremely clunky -- Capboy had to come to a complete stop for all of his attacks, and had no control over his orientation after the attack button was pressed, making it very hard to adjust for slight misses or weird enemy motion.

Now, in addition to having forwards motion on all of his attacks, Capboy also has partial turning control through the beginning of them.  The amount of control he has, as well as how quickly the control goes away, is something I can adjust on a per-attack basis -- for example, an attack that quickly lunges forwards might not give Capboy much turning control at all, but an attack with lots of wind-up could give him an extremely large amount of control.

There’s a fair number of other things I’ve added as part of this combat overhaul, so stay tuned for the longer video update coming in about a week!

I hate the fucking people who don’t understand that their decision to be a douchebag affects everyone around them.

I am a serial killer. I murder people in horrible, gruesome ways, and I derive a small amount of sexual pleasure from getting away with it for over twenty years. And even I have the decency to wear a fucking mask and keep my distance.

To be fair, I enjoy the mask wearing because it adds a layer of anonymity which makes my job a little bit easier. But also I’m not a monster.

Well, I am, but not in a general sense. I understand the concept of protecting yourself and others from a deadly, horrible virus and not potentially killing just anyone.

Again, I see the irony but I am claiming the moral high ground over people who don’t wear masks and you can’t stop me.

I haven’t really talked about the pandemic beyond complaining about everything – and worrying about my father (who is okay, his care home is no longer in lock down and they’ve had no more cases in several weeks). I simply feel powerless in this situation. We’re going on eight months and some people have already decided that they’re over it and it’s only making things worse. I just got a new job, if we have to go into lockdown again and I’m trapped at home, I’m going to lose my fucking mind.

Either that, or start writing a novel or something. I tried picking up hobbies when this whole thing began but nothing really panned out. I have been wondering, lately, if I shouldn’t try my hand at writing fiction. Like “Basic Instinct” but better because I understand the difference between coincidence and an alibi. Just because she wrote the book, does not mean she couldn’t have committed the crime. That’s nonsense.

So anyways, I’m better than Sharon Stone, is my point.

I don’t actually remember what my point was. I just remember waking up and seeing the reports of cases spiking all over the place and I got really angry at the world for a second.

As I should, because the world is a shitty place that allows people like me to make claims like: a serial killer is better than an irresponsible douchebag, and is also better than Sharon Stone. And none of you can dispute my claims because there is so much anonymity that you will never know how much of what I’m writing is real, or pure fiction in preparation for my novel.

Every lady needs a hobby, after all.

As always, dear readers,
