A lot of people would take this opportunity to compile a Best Of list... and I am no different. And so, without further ado...
Best New Horror: It Follows
Jaw-droppingly good. A wickedly smart throwback to horror movies from the 80s. Bliss.
Best New Addition to a Franchise From Far, Far Away: The Force Awakens
Good GOD I loved this. It has heart, soul, warmth and grit — a huge departure from the prequels and a wonderful continuation from the original trilogy. I couldn't have done it better myself.
(Well, I could have, but they didn't ask, so...)
Best TV Show: The Walking Dead
This was a close one, with Game of Thrones running a tight second, but its White Walker mayhem was matched by episode upon episode of zombie thrills. And unlike GoT, I didn't know where The Walking Dead was going to end up...
Creepiest Horror Seen on Blu-Ray: Sinister
Oh I love a good creepy horror, and this hit the spot.
Most Disappointing Horror: The Babadook
I don't get it. I just don't.
Best New Addition to a Franchise Thought Long Dead: Fury Road
A car chase that lasts an entire movie. How awesome is that? Not as feminist as I'd been led to believe, but still a thousand times more awesome than most other movies.
Best YA novel: The Rest of Us Just Live Here, by Patrick Ness
Get this book. Read this book. Love this book.
I didn't get to see all the movies I wanted to, didn't get to watch all the TV I wanted to (Ash Vs The Evil Dead and Jessica Jones being top of my To Watch list), and definitely didn't get to read all the books I wanted to, but all in all 2015 was a good year.
Next year is going to be busy. I've got the second Demon Road book out at the very end of March and the third and final one out in September. But I've learned my lesson, oh yes. No more six month publication schedules for ME, boy howdy. A lot of things have suffered as a result of this workload (that still isn't over, by the way) and I want to get back to a nice and healthy communication routine with you, my lovely Minions.
2016 is going to be FUN.

Sil: *quietly*
It's only a blade. It. Needs. To. Be. Sharper.
Claire: No, I think it's sharp enough.
Sil: *grunts, glaring down at the blade*
No. It's not.
*hisses*
It's USELESS!
*quickly sends the knife flying for the opposite wall*
Claire: Why does she call you a mutant? She calls you and the stupid you mutants.
Sil: *her eyes fill with hatred, by animal instinct she bares her teeth*
*her words are more growl than actual words*
I don't know.
Claire: I'm sorry.
Sil: *closes her eyes, forcing herself to breathe evenly, to calm down, before a familiar numbness embraces her, calming her, soothing her*
You tried your best.
Claire: Maybe if I had thought...
Sil: Don't.
*relaxes into the numbness, letting it smother her*
Don't.. It's not your fault.
Claire: Yeah it is, but thanks anyway.
Sil: *looks up at Claire*
*stands up fluidly but slowly, pulling her close and holding her gently*
No. It isn't.. you.. you couldn't have know how.. to fix.. to solve the.. numbers..
*is struggling slightly to get the words past the lump in her throat*
This was her
(Why. Is my brother. And his mates. So noisy. When I just told them to shut up or get out.)
(Good morning blue planet !
Bore da glas planet!
Mae hi'n heulog ond oer!
It is sunny but cold! )
*glas planed
(*bed*
*is comfy in bed*)
(Woah
Just read an article saying witchcraft is satanism...)
It's snowinggggg!!!!
(Lucky!)
(*smiles and sits contently at the window, watching the world as it is painted white*)
(That moment when your mum loses it over literally nothing and you end up in a shouting match with her and Ben she starts slamming doors and doing things aggressively )
(..*hugs Chloe*)
(*hugs* )
(I hope you're okay.)
(I'll be fine
I am staying away)
(That's probably smart *cuddles*)
(*cuddles*)
(*cuddles back* Hey, neither wolf nor Chris were taken by Ila you know..)
(I would love to rp
But j have all my energy zapped and just feel like curling up )
(*cuddles you gently* Okay.. maybe nap?)
Naps are good.
(Naps are brilliant.)
(*cuddles* I napped earlier)
(*cuddles back*)
(I always thought I was introverted
Maybe I am an extrovert in disguise
I'm never tired around others)
(Or maybe you're just not tired because you're prepared for danger, for a knife in the back.)
(I don't think anyone wants a knife in my back... )
(all I want to do is make a snowman :P its deep enough... Make a snow devil :P )
(Don't rub it in 😫)
(Don't you have any snow Chloe?)
(Zilch)
( sorry .... But I love it :P .... Its white for miles )
(We were supposed to but now...)
(Nawww. It's making its way down Chloe :) Give it time. Its gone from Glasgow to Huddersfield, it's coming to Swansea.)
(Yay!)
( it's not gone from Glasgow, its just light now :P hehe so you might be getting the backlash from it)
Don't you hate it when you put 110% into a relationship
And only receive back 30%
Because I do
(*hugs Noelle gently..*)
(- has never had a relationship where that's happened-
-Has had one where apparently I said I loved her after 3 weeks of hell, where she cheated and got pregnant with my friends baby..... -
But no.... I imagine that is annoying, maybe they don't deserve you?
)
((^that story is verbaim tadra/Aladra, circa 2013?2014?)
Anyway
Just. Be thankful, then. It's one of the worst feelings in the world. It's like... Being snubbed. It's unrequited affection and attention- it just isn't fair, and it's hurtful
( it happened 2014 if that's what you're asking)
((No, I was saying that what you said parallels what happened a few years ago- reminiscing.
Thanks though))
((I need to go wallow and feel bad for myself ciao))
( ahh * offers hugs* life's a bitch. )
(Hello.)
Claire: Sure.
(*cuddles Sophi tightly*
Hey. *smiles*)
Sil: *keeps hugging her despite the hug not being returned*
*although she won't allow herself to use her adoptive daughter as an emotional support that doesn't mean she won't support her daughter*
Claire.. thank you.. for stopping me..
(*she cuddles Jaimie tightly back* Hello, Jaimie.)
Claire: *she hugs Silente gently* For stopping you breaking your blade?
(Hello amazing.)
Sil: For stopping me from getting us all blown to smithereens.. I.. wouldn't have stopped until she was dead if you hadn't..
*sighs*
Hadn't reminded me that I'm a mother, I have to look after you. I can't be rash anymore. I'm not 100 anymore, I need to think before I act.
Claire: You make a hundred sound young.
Sil: *smiles gently*
100 is young. I'll live until I'm put down, and even then in your mother's part of Phaestra's realm I'll live on. Just as Bethany will live on. Long lives bless and curse our family..
*looks at Claire*
When your mother comes up I want you and Liliana at my side. And if it starts going wrong I want you ready to stop that bitch from hitting the explosives before I can slit her throat and drain her dry.
(Back for one comment
I'm sorry to hear that Noelle...
I decided to start a new blog... The witching hour. It would e nice to get constructive criticism
Nos da)
And then... Big curve balls are thrown.
And my heart just breaks
Also, whoever you are, your profile isn't enabled, so access isn't allowed to us))
(*gently hugs Noelle*
Shea unlocked her profile now.)
I'm sorry...
Just
:/ my friend just... Killed me a bit inside, and didn't even really think about what they were doing...
I don't think they know just how much it hurts.
But you can't tell people to change.
(Unfortunately no, you can't :/ I'm sorry that your friends are hurting you.)
Claire: Lucky you.
Sure. I mean, I can't promise I won't hit her in the head with a throwing knife as soon as I see her.
Sil: Mmm.. in not against that.
*sighs*
But we don't know enough about her. So we need to be careful..
I just always love people deeply- it's either that, or we aren't friends. I don't know how to not feel deeply for those who I do let in.
So just
...
Today sucks a lot. It feels as if our foundation has just fallen apart..
I'm sorry, I need to stop thinking about this. I've literally been crying for the past hour, and I have an event later tonight
(It's okay to cry..)
No it isnt
( ... Yeh it really is. )
(I mean.. Yeah, when I cry I get all red blotchy and snotty (I am not a pretty cryer) and its tiring but it also helps..)
( yehhhh :/ I'm ugly af when I cry... Ask gem )
hello?
hellloooooooo *looks around the corner* :P
No it isn't, not for me.
I don't know what to do with myself
It's as if our friendship has just been thrown in the trash- everything we were built on- all our good memories- just aren't good enough anymore
I just feel really isolated now...
Because they are one of my Best and only friends.
bad timing i am guessing? Sorry ^_^
( hey frank
Friend?
You said relationship not friendship...
)

Nahh, more like friends with benefits, I mean I'd like to go out with her and we both like each other but she only wants friends with benefits for reasons ^_^
( fairynuff .... Good luck then :P )
thx XD sorry i haven't talked much lately, been quite busy ^_^
( same tbh but that's what I like to think makes a good friendship, when you don't talk for months but pick up where you left off like nothing's changed)

*hasnt run in a long time*)
(*sits, glaring at the wall*
You know, I try to be thoughtful and I get it thrown back in my face. I know my sister doesn't like the smell of bacon so if she's awake on a weekend before I've had breakfast I'll have cereal, and apparently that's not okay with her because she just complained at me about it.)
(why doesn't she like the smell of bacon? Are you burning it, is she a vegetarian whoa morals are questioned when she smells the goodness)
(I don't like bacon
Or pizza
Or cheese
Or most foods )
(She just doesn't like the smell of bacon. She didn't like the smell before she was vegetarian either. She thinks it smells bad.)
( well you're missing out,
Also if you're just not eating it coz its unhealthy then I wouldn't count that as you don't like it.)
(I eat crap all the time
I don't view it as missing out as I eat a lot of what I do like )
Just had bacon for brunch <3
I'm just coming back to clarify:
The word "relationship" does not imply romantic ties. You can say you your friend: "we have a really good relationship", and not mean that you're dating.
So..
( you can ... But the word implies a romantic attachment... Hence why there is such a word as friendship )
(Not necessarily
Parent child relationships
Student teacher relationships
Romantic relationships
Pet owner relationships )
( yes but you make it obvious and say it a different, tone behind it.
For parent you imply relatedship
Others I would argue don't exist, if you have a good relationship with a teacher then it is either a friendship or romantic.
Pet is a loyal friend.)
(A pet is much more than a friend.)
(*shaes head* a relationship is a bond between two people
I am a psychology student and I am studying relationships now)
(*points at Chloe*
See. She knows.
*nods and hugs Chloe*)
(*hugs Jai* thanks
Pretty sure related ship is not a word)
(Btw these kind of relationships do exist)
( * facepalm * you have a relationship with everyone.... And studying that top know if its good or bad is easy
But if you say relationship then you think going out with not friends because if they were friends you'd say friendship
" don't you hate it when you put 110% into a friendship and only get 30% back"
Compared to relationship.... Which one implies that someone you care about romantically isn't doing the same?)
(Maybe its your own bias keiron.)
(Omfg imply when talking about your relationship with parents you imply that you are related..... * )
(Huh. According to OUAT Rumplestilskin has very good handwriting.)
( I'd assume so, with all the contacts he Writes)
(But you don't have a friend relation or romantic relationship with everyone
Nor with a teacher
Relationship can simply be a synonym for friendship
I have a relationship with my biology lecturer
She is nor my friend or romantic partner)
( it is friend family romantic neutral or bad not much else )
(But you said some of the relationships I stated doesn't exist)
( may as well not...
If you like someone but don't go out then friends of you don't care then it's neutral and related obv it doesn't matter good or bad you still have some sort of attachment and bad well you don't like the person so there's no point in even thinking about them/ it)
(I am actually lost so I'm going to stop talking
I am studying this ATM)
(*nods* thank you Fab )
( * shrugs*
Cars can be fast on paper although they have to drive on asphalt, why look at the paper when you know asphalt)
(-*is so lost*)
( just because something says it is doesn't mean it is. Look at what it does not what it can do)
(I ... I am confused
How does that apply to relationships?)
( can't be bothered trying to explain anymore.... Got hw )
(I see no coherence...)
???
( I'd be able to make you see in person there is only so many words I can type but I explain well in person.... )
(right...)
(What game are you watching ^.^)
(Awesome ^.^)
(Fabi didn't mean offence...
What's got your pants in a twist?!
And no one should change what they say so people understand....)
(Bye Fabi...)
( coz naebudy fucking understands now and its pissing me off I dinae want tae bloody waste my time any longer when I've got shit to do.)
(Don't apologise
Speak a bit more clearer if you want to be understood)
(Good evening.)
(*glomps kas*)
(*melts*
Hey, Chloe!)
(How is you?)
(I'll be fine, Chloe.
How are you?)
(I has a website)
(Oh?
I have a website but it's just a redirect -_-)
(*frowns* I said headache...)
(-_-
Hope it passes soon. Take painkillers maybe?)
(I shall )
(Okay!
I'll be here/ghosting)
(Ikay Bach ^,^)
(What are you up to, Chloe?
And where is everybody? :/)
The Seahawks just missed a field goal. :-(
It'd have been nice for them to be on the scoreboard...
31-0 Panthers
(I am panicking )
( Seattle?)
( how come?)
TOUCHDOWN SEATTLE
THEY'RE ON THE SCOREBOARD, PEOPLE
[hugs Chloe]
(@Chloe Holy crap! :O
@Fabi American Sports! Yay/Boo!?????
Why are knives so expensive???)
WHY ARE KNIVES SO EXPENSIVE!!!!!???
( well they're less likely to come back then...)
(*hugs fab*£
( knives are quite cheap.... I got 200 blades for my straight razor for £10)
(@Fabi Yay!)
That's pretty scary, Chloe. Is everyone okay?
@Kas Yay! Definitely yay. They're probably not going to be able to make a comeback. They're still down 24 points. It's good that they have more than 0 points now though. They just got the ball again, too.
And I don't know why knives are so expensive, and I also don't know whether or not that was a rhetorical question.
(@Keiron StatTrak M9 Crimson Web Factory New = €23,850)
(Yes ...
The police woman said they left a hat behind
But who the hell breaks into someone's house in the middle of a Sunday afternoon when everyone's home?
We think it was kids)
( csgo ? Coz if so its because of how rare they are )
(@Chloe Hmm... what was stolen?
@Keiron Who pays that much for a knife!???)
( youtubers... For views )
(€23,850.
Just think how much money that is. Just think.
For a knife.
@Keiron What's your Steam btw?)
(Police didn't say
I don't know if anything was stolen... If it was a kid, maybe it was a prank or something...)
(I'm thinking of buying a knife so... yeah.)
( "keironmate"
I wont be able to accept for a while though still waiting on my laptop coming back from currys )
