Is The Old Guard 2 actually as bad as the IMDb reviews want to make me believe, or... ?

In other news, I found a new podcast to binge, which means I'm finally making some progress on my monster shawl again. 72400 stitches, and counting. Ugh. Almost there... www.maeltopia.com

Rewe Werbung in meinem Podcast Feed: was ist genauso entspannt wie diesen Podcast zu hören? Der Podcast: The Gentleman from Hell, Horror Mystery Fiction. 🤔😂

The jackdaws have taken over the tree across the street, and have been chattering away for over an hour now. Must be a very interesting topic.

And it's mostly just short snippets. But that's not the case here. I simply don't get it.

Use hover-text, use a toggle to switch between languages on click, fucking write it in english and make it clear they're speaking another language, just... 😩 Here's the thing: if an author does this it usually means the reader isn't necessarily supposed to be able to understand the conversation.

(And I don't mean a translation at the end of the chapter somewhere, what?) Do you seriously expect your readers to pop that whole thing into Google translate? I hate this shit so much, it completely disrupts the flow.

Meike @koryou.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
The language you write in is English. Awesome. One of your main characters is Russian. Okay. Why the fuck do you write him having a big, important, emotional conversation in fucking Russian? With Cyrillic letters? Without giving a fucking translation?!

I get so fucking frustrated with fanfic authors sometimes. I love all of you, all the work and time you put into it for free is amazing. But fucking hell. This is specifically about Heated Rivalry fic, because that's what I've been fixated on all year, but it appears almost everywhere.

What does that say about their taste in music? Okay, let me test something: just a small-town girl... (Yeah, I messed that up. 🤦‍♀️)

In case anybody's wondering, yes, it still has that effect on me.

I think I was twelve when I went to see it in Hamburg. That was also the first time I found out that music goes right into my emotions sometimes. I came out of there and while waiting for the bus just started crying. I had no clue why, just clung to my dad, sobbing.

Meike @koryou.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
Heated Rivalry fanfic really sends me to the strangest places sometimes. They go to a showing of Phantom of the Opera, and my brain goes 'oh, haven't listened to that in ages'. So that's what playing on Tidal right now.

So hey, apparently there's a shortage of L-Thyroxin again, which I found out today at the pharmacy. The second one I tried still had 8 boxes, so yay. 😑 But in case you'll need a new prescription soon, make sure to get it early enough. Still seems to be available online, but better safe than sorry.

Two of my the fans have started making noise they shouldn't make. Took one of them apart completely to clean it, put some new grease on, and right now that seems to have done trick. Who knows, maybe the fault lies with the hundreds of thrips that fell out of it. 🙄

Meike @koryou.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
Do you also have those neighbors who always have to do their big garden, or building, or repair projects on a Sunday? While making as much noise as possible? This is why I wish I had a house in the middle of nowhere - no neighbors.

The 11-year old son of my boss is better at putting his used dishes into the dishwasher than the grown up men. Is anybody surprised?

So, remember to thank your invisible dragons when you land safely, maybe give them a little wave goodbye, they'll really enjoy that.

Meike @koryou.bsky.social · 05/07/2026
And maybe one of them got distracted by something shiny from time to time, so the ride got a little bumpy. But they'd quickly come back, and everything would be fine. After that flight, she told me that every time she got nervous she had to think of 'my' dragons, and then it was alright.

Meike @koryou.bsky.social · 05/07/2026
She did understand how and why airplanes can fly - in theory. But she still didn't like it and got a little anxious about it. So I spontaneously came up with the answer to calm her nerves: dragons. The invisible dragons, that were helping to carry airplanes, and loved doing that like a game.

Meike @koryou.bsky.social · 05/07/2026
Not sure why I'm thinking of this tonight, because it happened at least ten years ago, but my brain works in mysterious ways. Back then my friend was living in Vancouver, and shortly before going to visit her family in Quebec she told me about being nervous about the flight.

Me: Hey, everything okay? Her: I just remembered I'm allergic to cherries. Fuck. And then she spent the next ten minutes waiting to see if her throat would swell enough to turn into an emergency, which fortunately it didn't. 🤦‍♀️

Meike @koryou.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
Sometimes people really just forget that certain things could kill them, huh? Beginning of the week one of my classmates made her way through demolishing a bunch of cherries she got fresh from the garden of our other classmate, when she suddenly just stopped and started starting into nothing.

...when you tell me "Oh, and you're coming too, of course" and my answer is "Nope". You never even asked me if I wanted to come, so what the fuck?

Meike @koryou.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
You know, it's really amazing how people think that me being single and childless means they can just demand my time. When you've been making plans with other people to meet up on the weekend and I only know because I happened to be in the same room, don't get fucking insulted...

Unfortunately I needed more to drink, and something to eat that I can just throw on the grill instead of the stove. Also wanted to get some ice pops, but I saw the queue and realized everybody else had the same idea as me.
