Stephy Plays Animal Crossing: New Horizons

 Last time on Hades:

Got a new room on my house.

Just a note, the formatting went a bit wonky on this one and I am too mentally exhausted to figure out how to fix it. Sorry?

Oh, Gullivarrr...

 

This villager lives in a laundromat apparently...

I always feel so bad for startling Wisp...

 

6 Things That Won't Get Their Own Post - Part 6

 

 

The Labyrinth (2021)

Not the David Bowie movie. Though I do find that movie quite enjoyable. This one is the Korean movie based off of the video game White Day: A Labyrinth Named School. Basic plot is a group of students enter a school at night and have to deal with *spooky voice* ghooooosts.

Movie was a fun watch. A few changes from the game but oh well, that shit happens. Though, the special effects did not seem to be up to 2021 standards. Just a fun horror movie watch that wasn't overly great or overly bad. I do highly recommend the game. If you don't wanna play it, there are some great playthroughs on YouTube (I made a playlist).

 

Scream 3

I had watched this one before, but all I could remember was the Jay and Silent Bob cameo. Not a bad entry into the series, but... Not a great one either. Better than The Blair Witch Project, though 🤷

 

Scream 4

 The opening for this one had me screaming in annoyance. Like holy shit. I thought the whole movie was just gonna be girls getting murdered before the Stab title flashed across the screen. But no, I got an actual movie. Which was pretty good. I am almost positive that the big twist ending was ruined for me, but I forgot until it was revealed. 

 

Venom

I watched the trailer for the new Venom movie. Remembered I had never watched the second Venom movie. So I watched the first Venom movie. Because my decisions make a lot of sense...

I love this movie.

Over the Garden Wall

I heard this show compared to Gravity Falls a lot, and I love Gravity Falls. So I figured it was worth checking out. Good show. Fun, short, a bit twisty. Oh, and Elijah Wood is there!

Cutie and the Beast 

by E.J. Russell

A banished fae decides to become a psychiatrist to the supernatural community. Then his receptionist goes on maternity leave and he needs a temp. The temp that is sent is a human who doesn't know anything about the supernatural world. And they are gonna kiss. 

This was a fun read.

Finished my T-Rex! Woooooo!

 

Wow. Seven bells. I get more when I shake trees...

Who is Eunice?

Dude has a rad house...

You can't tell from pictures, but the fish move! I love it!

Last time on Hades

Claudia moved in. Caught some fish. Pancakes.

 

 

 

Ignore my eye. Bees got me.

I always feel so bad for scaring Wisp.

So awesome... 😍

That's all for this one.

 Last time on Hades

I got a new room on my house, invited a new villager to move onto the island. And I caught a bunch of bugs and fish.

 

Woo! New villager!

I have been making wreaths anytime I get a recipe for one and hanging them up. And then I thought I lost my wreaths because I was looking around the room and couldn't see them. They are above my character's eye line... But yeah. Wreaths!

Not a great shot of Wisp, but yay! Wisp!

We're just stargazing together...

Yeah. Agree.
 

 That's all for this one. See y'all next week.

Star Wars Young Jedi Knights: Shards of Alderaan by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta

About/Summary

The seventh book in the Young Jedi Knights series by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta. After the battle against the Shadow Academy, it is time for the Jedi Academy to rebuild. Which is the perfect time for Jacen and Jaina Solo and their friends to go off on their own adventure. Meanwhile, Zekk is off to find himself.

 

Content/Trigger Warnings

minor character death

Characters

The usual gang of Baby Jedi - Jacen and Jaina Solo (Han and Leia's twin children), Lowbacca (Chewbacca's nephew) and Tenel Ka (the daughter of Teneniel Djo and Prince Isolder of Hapes).

Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca also show up for a bit.

Oh yeah, and Boba Fett shows up. But he does not have enough screen time to warrant that big of a picture on the cover.
 

Writing

Same as the other books. Writing is good, but it is a book for children, so don't expect exceptional literature.
 

Plot

Raynar Thul (another Baby Jedi)'s father has gone missing. But, who cares about that? Jacen, Jaina and their friends are going to the asteroid field that used to be Alderaan to get their mom a present for her birthday. As one does...

 

How diverse is it?

Does Boba Fett count as a person of color? If not, just a bunch of white people doing... white people things in space, I guess.
 

Overall Thoughts

Boba Fett shows up! And is somehow outsmarted by a bunch of teenagers. Best bounty hunter in the galaxy over here.

Zekk goes back to his home planet, which that place pretty much destroys itself every eight years. And it is time for death and destruction when Zekk gets there. I'm with Zekk... Why keep living there?

This book begins the second arc in the Young Jedi Knights series. First arc dealt with the Shadow Academy. this arc is the Diversity Alliance arc. Which, we don't learn much about them in this book, just that Raynar's (a fellow Jedi trainee who has had a small role in the previous books) father, Bornan Thul, was supposed to meet the leader of the Diversity Alliance and no one has heard from him. Most suspicious.

Good book overall.

That's all for this one.
