That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 23/08/2026People in #Cardiff who are into beautiful things with #NoAI , consider popping along to Tiny Rebel on the 22nd of September and looking at some local art. Maybe even buy some local art. Please spread this far and wide, because look, stag! 010
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 22/08/2026If you see this cat, post a cat. This is Mochi in her happy place. 011
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Just went to Stranraer's first ever comic con. Decent number of people there, and we might have got a proper haul of loot, some of which is pictured below. 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I am in the process of sending out agent queries for my book. Unfortunately I am also incapable of taking anything seriously. So I had to get the silly query letter out of my system before I can go and write the actual serious ones. Hope you like it. #BookSky #AmWritingFantasy #AgentQueries 030
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 23/07/2026There are times when I consider myself extremely lucky to have run away from the city and escaped into somewhere beautiful by the sea. This is one of them 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Today, in Scotland, which prides itself on inventing whole new words for cold and rainy, I am sat outside in shorts and no top, because it's the first day in a week where there's been a proper breeze. And I am not the only one enjoying this situation. #proofofcat 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 04/07/2026And so, it begins. yes, I'm doing a new creative project. To go with all my other creative projects. Lets see how long this one lasts, eh? 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Ladies, Gentlemen and all others, please put your hands together for Sir Keir at this trying time 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 03/05/2026The sky was the colour of a TV, tuned to an image of the day before a Bank Holiday Monday 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Unfortunately, I can only hear it in this voice 020
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 05/03/2026#SlayTheSpire2 #Steam No, steam. Working is the thing that is isn't. That's the problem. 020
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Today's word count: 1479 Finished the #NaturalSix fanfic. Now have to do a little bit of editing and revision to make sure it reads okay. But I finished a thing! Have a cat! #Writing #TTRPG 010
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Word count for the day: 2530 Still working on my #NaturalSix fanfic. It's weird calling a fanfic, because of certain connotations of the word, but it technically is. Really enjoying playing in someone else's world. Have a cat. #TTRPG #Writing 141
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Today's word count: 1765 Bit of an odd one today. Did a bunch of plotting, and then some prose writing, for a #NaturalSix fanfic. Very fun, got to embrace my more Pratchettian tendencies. Please, enjoy a cat. #Writing #TTRPG 040
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Today's word count : 1764. Plus one of my #LegendInTheMist players has described his character as 'Gnomish Steve Buscemi' and that image is going to haunt my dreams, so you can have it too. You're welcome. Have a cat. #Writing 020
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Today's word count: 2125 I'm going to eat oatcakes in bed, listen to Alan Dean Foster, and play video games while pretending that the rest of the world doesn't exist. 020
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Today's word count: 733. A hard day for writing today. Bit of chronic illness stuff took me out for a chunk of the day. Still, have a cat #writing 031
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Today's word count: 1173 Plus about 500 words of plotting. Today has been a tough day. Woke up thinking it was Friday, and there have been some hard bits of news today. Hope that anyone reading this is having a better one. Here's a cat. 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Today's word count : 1233 Here are some cats. The really great thing about cats is that when they scream at you, you can pretend they're your agent and you have a deadline, boosting your focus. 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Today's word count: 1119 Actively hindered by my cat, who is determined that I should be paying attention to her, rather than this silly keyboard thing. 020
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 25/01/2026Just donated $10 to ILCM. Thanks for doing this. 040
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 21/10/2025I'm having a bit of low mood at the moment, so I decided to buy a present for my wife - which means I get to watch @erikaishii.bsky.social stab people in a very pretty game (cat for chiminage) 020
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 20/05/2025I'm having a bad mental health day today. So I'm listening to They Might Be Giants, and asking the universe (you) for cat pics. Here's one to get you started #proofofcat 23624
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Yesterday I was ill. Fever, sweats, thumping headache -whole 9 yds. Today I woke up feeling better. Showered. Took stuff to the tip. Bought a plant. Made really tasty battered mushrooms and got a couple of pictures of my cats being adorable. I'm taking today as a win. 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Here. Have a picture of a lovely cat who has decided to sit atop a door and scream at the universe. 020
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 12/01/2025One thing I like when doing the "oh gods we need to organise this space" dance is finding things I once thought lost. @pjmontgomery.bsky.social @joeglass.bsky.social 242
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Mochi has informed us that yes, she will in fact be helping wrap the presents 020
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 08/12/2024@dorkomatic.bsky.social I didn't make bread. But I did make this. And a really healthy vegetable soup. The cake is uh... not as healthy. 110
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 27/11/2024My cats, love-bombing the heck out of my wife in the hope that treats will appear 0240
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 06/11/2024And I posted it before I attached the picture. Classic. 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 09/10/2024Less of a looker than some of my food, but this is a hasselback sweet potato with a dark muscavado glaze, an ancho chilli smokey sauce, and chickpea, pumpkin and fennel mash. Fully vegan, very tasty, and - most importantly - a learning experience. Next time it'll taste good and look good too 010
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 03/10/2024Mochi here decided that during this visit to the vets she was going to demonstrate her love for classic cinema by recreating the 'under the truck' scene from Raiders Of The Lost Ark, resulting in her wedging herself in the dental hygiene machine, and refusing to come out until the vet left 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 22/09/2024Haven't updated my #proofofcat for a while. Here they are, enjoying the morning, in a rare moment of calm 1616
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 03/09/2024Yeah, it's another cooking post. This is Apple and Pecan fritters, double glazed in a maple syrup and cinnamon glaze. It's not healthy, there's enough sugar in it to summon a small tribe of Hugh Lauries and they were absolutely damn delicious. 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 22/08/2024After a couple of low days, where I was truly knackered, we finally built the bed yesterday. I also made a salad. This is day two of said salad, this time with some bread so I don't fall over at 4pm. 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 16/08/2024One of the reasons I do this is to remember what I have eaten. Today I ate breakfast (boiled eggs and chickpeas) and then forgot about lunch. So here's a big stack of chips with beer-battered aubergine slices to make up for it. Also it's Friday, and this isn't a takeaway - a serious improvement! 000
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 15/08/2024Had my parents over to the new house for the first time since moving in. Made them baked courgette, champit neep and tatties and a meatless stew. Had leftover mash, so this morning -- homemade potato scones! 020
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 13/08/2024I warned you about food posting, right. Cos today's lunch is roasted potatoes and celeriac with a mustard glaze, accompanied by some flavoured mayo and kimchi for a little spicy twist 010
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 12/08/2024Just to warn people - I have a kitchen I can cook in now. There will be food posting on main. This is courgette fried in garlic infused oil, with a chickpea accoutrement in a Dijon and tahini sauce. Rice cakes for cronch 010
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 11/08/2024Every so often I am reminded that sites like GameRant don't actually play games, they just look at other people's comments on them. HH is not the most complicated weapon in the game. It doesn't have stances, you don't charge phials, and it doesn't need ammo. HH is easy. You doot, monster fall down. 010
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 10/08/2024I looked up from where I sat, eating a bowl of spicy stuff (lentils, chickpeas, mushrooms and crushed tomato) and saw this. Felt peaceful. I hope you, whoever you are, feel peaceful too. 040
That Spooky Bean @malurion.bsky.social · 30/07/2024Currently working on moving house, heading 400 miles up country. To spare the cats the stress, they are on holiday while we do the hard bit. Here they are in the studio, about to drop the hottest rap album of the summer 030
