January Round-Up

[potentiality_26]

My (belated) media experiences post for January 2025.

Malevolent podcast, through Part 17

Lies Sleeping by Ben Aaronovitch
This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

Also the RPG book Microscope by Ben Robbins, and the cookbook Baking Yesteryear by B. Dylan Hollis (which were my Christmas presents)

I've also been reading a lot of fanfiction, of course -- mainly DCU/Batman lately. The Cor Et Cerebrum series by bowditch is a particular standout.

Movies
Conclave
Twisters
Speak No Evil

TV Shows
9-1-1 (and 9-1-1 Lone Star), through their mid-season hiatuses
All Creatures Great and Small, through S5
Astrid, through S4
Brilliant Minds, first season (fingers crossed for another!)
Day of the Jackal
The Irrational
Mr. Mercedes

Only about 1k, I'm afraid. I posted that Astraelle ficlet and I worked a little bit on my bingo, but it wasn't much. Mostly I've been Trying Times journalling, and fiddling around with a superhero TTRPG.

I've elected not to really explain my opinions about these in an effort to get this post off the ground, but feel free to ask if you're curious.
