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."😁

#LesFicFri Quick #OrionSpurSeries Book 1
"After you," Hila said. She followed the leader and four of the henchmen followed her into the cargo bay.
Hila directed Zerbilla's men to where the crates were located. The leader had the four well-muscled men carry them to the truck that was reversing up to the hold. Hila cast a quick glance over her shoulder at Kamina. The girl was in a darkened corner obscuring her features, only the whites of her eyes stood out, caught in an errant beam from a nearby light. However, Hila didn't need to see Kamina to know what she looked like. Hila thought the girl looked like she should be anywhere but hanging around with a dodgy spacer like herself.
She was small and thin, with dark almond shaped eyes and long dark hair, that Kamina constantly let fall in her face to hide the scar on her left cheek. The scar was six years old and had faded so that it was hardly noticeable, but Kamina was still self-conscious about it. Their eyes met in the gloomy hold and Hila smiled. Even though she couldn't see her clearly, she knew that Kamina smiled in return.

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

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

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.
