Behold the awesome!
On April 5th, in London, as part of my tour, we are offering a day at the movies, where I will be discussing the many movie influences that have shaped my life and, more specifically, that have shaped the Demon Road trilogy.
We are breaking the day into two halves.
At 1 PM, younger readers, accompanied by an adult, can go to the Picturehouse Cinema in London and experience 80's comedy-horror classic GREMLINS on the big screen...! It'll be my first time seeing it up there too — I've only ever seen this film on TV, so I am HUGELY excited.
Desolation will be available to buy, I'll be doing a Q&A, and signing whatever you have. It's going to be FUN.
And then we'll be repeating the format at 8:30 that night, when we'll be showing the original A Nightmare on Elm Street to a STRICTLY over-18 crowd...!
Again, I was too young to see this in the movies when it came out, and as one of my all time favourite horrors, I can't wait to see this in all its glory.
Come! See Johnny Depp get blender-ised in his Bed of Death!
Naturally, anyone 18 or over can come to both movies and make a day of it — as I will be — but sadly the younger Minions can not savour the delights of Freddy Krueger — at least not until you're older...

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 3878 Newer› Newest»(Inky! Hi! *waves*
@Jai: Ah. Yes, right. Cause Manuel was a sweetheart. *nods*)
Inky: who did your nose in?
Dustin: then what the hell did you just do?
(How's you?)
(*pokes Ver* That's Chloe btw xD
And yes, Manuel was a sweetheart.)
Tresha: Michael. Does it need resetting?
*moves her hands carefully to give Inky a better view*
Michael: I.. I took necessary action to evade capture..
(*panics* I don't know anyone on here anymore!!
Right. Okay. Inky is Chloe. Sowwy! Very confused Mith with very bad memory...)
Inky: looks like it.. I can do it
Dustin: that's no excuse *turns back* Alys is better off without a woman beater
(That's okay ^.^)
(Calm down sis :)
Tresha: *whimpers quietly, nodding slightly*
*sets closer, bracing herself*
Michael: No.. That's not what I am..
Inky: *sets her nose and activates sigils*
Dustin: sure
(Still sowwy!)
Tresha: *cries out as its reset but relaxes as it's healed*
Thank you Inky.
Michael: I'm not!
*walks towards Dustin cautiously*
It was my way of getting away.. She wouldn't let go..
(+offers everyone cookies*)
Flauros: are you okay ?
Dustin: for your own good
Cookies are the happiest food in the world :) followed by pancakes and cake :)
(COOKIE! *omnomnoms*)
Tresha: I'm fine.
*gently touches her nose*
All fixed..
Michael: she was still refusing to release me..
(Oh! Cookie! (::) <-- Cookie! ^-^)
(Cookies are awesome.)
Every single time my mom comes over to check if im ok (she worries about me) she always brings me some chocolate chip cookies shes made :) theyre amazing :)
(Nawww. Your mum is sweet.)
Haha yes she is :) for her birthday once (among other things) I decorated a cookie jar for her and filled it with chocolate and candy and cookies that I made :) I also made a jar for me but decorated it less well haha ;)
(Naww. That's so nice :)
Haha thanks :)
Flauros: *growls* wait til I get him
Dustin: I may be rough around the edges but I would never hit a woman!
Tresha: It's fine Flauros.. No harm done, right?
Michael: I'm sorry okay!!!
Flauros: he hurt you!
Dustin: no good apologising to me.. Apologise to her
Tresha: I'm fine though now..
Michael: *sighs, looking down at his feet*
Fine.. I'll wait until they get back then..
Flauros: he still hurt you
Dustin: then you go far and not come back.. Don't want you to hurt Alys as much as you have already
Tresha: let's just go back shall we? Michael has probably disappeared already by now.
Michael: I said I'd visit
Flauros: he better had
Dustin; she needs someone consistent
Tresha: he will have
*takes Flauros' hand*
Michael: then I'll visit as a friend.
Flauros: *holds her close*
Dustin: yes, and watch her get over you and find someone else .. And who knows ? Before you turned up she was going to try it out with archer
Tresha: *hugs him gently*
Let's head back.
*looks at Inky*
Thank you for your help.
Michael: if that's what she wants then that is what she can do..
Inky: it's okay
Flauros:*hugs* okay
Dustin: don't you get it? She would do it for Charlotte.. Her world revolves around that little girl. She couldn't care less bout archer
Tresha: *starts walking back with him, leaning against him*
Michael: but that isn't honest?
Flauros: *holds her hand*
Dustin; and? Not as if you'd be sweeping her off her feet any time soon
Noelle was 129, but then ate a normal meal
Noelle feels like 135 now
Tresha: *murmurs*
I love you Flauros..
*sees Michael and rapidly steers Flauros away*
Actually I think we left something!!!
Michael: You shouldn't go out with someone if you don't like them!
(*hugs Noelle*)
(But you probably aren't 135? You just feel a little bit bloated maybe?)
Flauros: what did we forget?
Dustin: she knows you won't ask her.. And this way Charlotte can have a normal family
Tresha: To thank Inky properly?
*smiles*
Michael: a normal family? It isn't normal if the parents aren't in love.
Flauros: oh, of course
Dustin: they'll obviously act happy.. I know archer is enamoured with her
Tresha: *nods, dragging him back to Inky's house*
Michael: he is?
Flauros: *follows*
Dustin: yes.. And he doesn't beat women
Tresha: Uh inky?
Michael: *glares*
I don't beat women..
Inky: yes? Back so soon?
Dustin: you just did
Tresha: we just realised we didn't thank you properly
Michael: no I didn't!
Inky: oh *smiles* it's okay
Dustin: what would you say it was? What you did to tresha?
Tresha: yeah so um
*elbows Flauros*
Thank her properly.
Michael: I.. I hurt her to try get free..
Flauros: +coughs* thank you for healing my fiancé
Inky: fiancé?!
Dustin: you shouldn't have
Tresha: *blushes slightly*
Oops. Yeah, fiancée. We're engaged..
Michael: she shouldn't have grabbed me
Inky: *squeals* congratulations!
Dustin: she tried to save you from making a mistake you'll regret
Tresha: thank you!
Michael: Still, she shouldn't have grabbed me like that
Inky: if you need any help with anything let me know
Dustin: you would've left
Tresha: thank you, we are both a bit oblivious to wedding planning.
Michael: and she has no right to stop me
Inky: it is difficult
Dustin: *mutters* at least now we are wasting time..
Tresha: I can imagine
*smiles*
Michael: I'm just waiting so I can apologise to Tresha..
Inky: *smiles+ I remember my wedding day
Dustin: and I'm keeping you here so Alys has enough time to come running after you
Tresha: what was it like?
Michael: she won't come running after me.
Inky: it was amazing
Dustin; you don't know
Tresha: *smiles*
Hopefully ours will be amazing too.
Michael: she won't. She said for herself, she doesn't need me.
Flauros: I'll do my best to make it the best day of your life
Dustin: people say things when they're hurt
Tresha: I'm sure you'll do an amazing job.
*kisses him gently*
Anyway, we should head back.
*is presuming Michael will be gone by now*
Michael: sure
Inky: okay *smiles$
Flauros: *kisses tresha*
Dustin: it must've hurt you, what she said
Tresha: see you soon Inky!
*slips an arm around Flauros' waist and sets off against with him*
Where do you want our wedding anyway?
Michael: *shrugs, looking away*
Flauros: you can decide
Dustin: so it did.. And that's how she felt when she heard what you said
Tresha: I want you to decide with me.
*smiles up at him, walking*
It's our wedding after all.
Michael: it didn't hurt at all
Flauros: *smiles*! Okay
Dustin: sure
Alys: *is out for a walk by herself*
Tresha: *doesnt notice that Michael is still there*
I like the idea of fairy lights and candle, soft lighting..
Michael: it didn't. Where the hell is Tresha?!
*looks up and spots then approaching*
Ah, good.
Flauros; *spots Michael and geowls*
Alys: *sits behind a tree and sobs quite loudly*
Tresha: Flauros?
*looks up and sees michael*
Uh oh..
Michael: Tresha!
*walks over, watching Flauros cautiously*
I just wanted to apologise..
Flauros: you bastard! *grabs him *
Alys: *falls asleep crying*
Michael: *flinches, trying to back away*
Flauros listen I want to apologise, I shouldn't have head butted her!
Tresha: *moves to Dustin's side*
Flauros: it's the most cowardly thing you can do!
Dustin: shall we find Alys?
Michael: I know and I'm sorry and I didn't mean it please don't hurt me..
*is very aware that Flauros was the leader of an army*
*really doesn't want to be beaten up*
In my defence if she didn't want to be hurt she shouldn't have grabbed me and she should have let go like I said!
Tresha: let's.
Dustin; *leads her away*
Flauros; *griwls* she did it cause we all care for you and we see what mistake you're making!
Tresha: *walks with him, listening for any signs of Alys*
Michael: That doesn't mean it was okay to restrain me just because you THINK I'm making a mistake!
*glares at him*
Alys: *is asleep* +whimpers in sleep*
Flauros: *lets him down* if you ever see Alys again look at her wrist
Tresha: *turns her head slightly*
*shifts, trying to find her scent*
Michael: her wrist?
*frowns, dusting off his shirt*
Dustin; *sniffs* found her *heads towards a tree*
Flauros; me and Kat found her..
Tresha: Oh.
*follows him*
Michael: found her what
Dustin; *steps in front of alys* hey
Alys: *wakes up*
Flauros; *shakes head*
Tresha: *sits beside her*
Are you okay?
Michael: *frowns, confused*
Alys: I I'm fine *voice is quiet*
Flauros: anyways, on your way or I will punch you
Tresha: *pulls her close gently, hugging her*
Michael: *rolls his eyes*
Sure. See you whenever I visit.

Hello lauren!
Hi Fera! :) How are you??? :)
I am pretty good actually, how are you?! Are you alright from that bullshit relationship? :)
Ummmm which one 2nd or 3rd??? ;)
Im ok I think thanks :)
Sounded like both of them were not so great :(
It's alright. What have you been up to? :)
The second one TOTTALLLYYY wasnt um it left me with scars and tattoos and piercings I didnt/dont want put it that way ;)
The third when Patricia lied to me... were friends and when she shows me proof that shes telling me the truth well date again...
And um as for what ive been up to... working mostly and talking to people and telling dirty jokes to people on the other forum... you??? ;)
:( Sounds bad. This is all I can do for you right now *offers hug*
Ohhh dirty jokes sound fun ;)
Oh I've just been tryin' to survive ya know? :p Work and school and everything. Trying to stay determined whilst getting my mind off things that bother me. Youtube also. Practicing my dancing, as well. Ya know, not much ;P
Hey, do you like dancing?!!?!??!
*BOUNCES IN*
helluh
*gives virtual internet hugs* ;)
Yes...
When someone says that cigarettes are mainly a girl thing in their friendship group... I just have to make a joke about some girls liking to suck on long brown things... I just have to... ;)
My follow up joke was that, as a vegetarian, ive never wanted to have a big lump of meat in my mouth ;)
(im a dirty person really i need to wash my mouth out ;))
Surviving is good :)
Ummmm... kinda??? I dont do it often because im super clumsy but sure why not??? ;)
Hi Dugglyn :) your name is fun. Dugglyn. Dugglyn. Its cool :) like the word bubble. :)
THANK YOU
STAR IS A BUBBLE
I AM A DUGGLYN
Then hello Dugglyn the Dugglyn :) im Lauren the uh... human ;)
hehe, well I like any and all kinds of jokes to be honest :P Once when somebody asked why I didn't take the trash out, I responded with "I did actually take Trash out and she ended up sweating at the end of it" ;)
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPqZxnSRA4CqFrHijoOQZTw here's my dancing utube channel if u wanna check it out, if you don't, that's fine as well :p
I'd like to do more than survive though ;)
Is Trash a name???
Ill be sure to check it out!
Surviving comes first... real living comes later :)
Nickname I believe XD
Suh girl :p
I know I just want to feel something though. I can't really explain what :P
*pops in to tsk at the state of the benches* Tsk Tsk
Haha ok ;)
Watch Star Wars or Frozen or Inside Out... its what I do ;)
Hi Vivanus! Its nice to meet you :)
Perhaps if someone had been around to maintain them your benches wouldn't be in such a state, Vivanus.
*waves*
Hi Lauren. Can I ask you a question?
Sil! I expected you to!
Ummmm sure???
Nuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh HAAAAAANNNNNN XD
you're welcome :P
See, I would have but I've been.. Absent. Recovering, perhaps.
*sits, lounging on the bench*
@Lauren: In your experience, is purchasing and applying an anti-rust spray difficult?
@Sil: Plus, why do you think I returned. Someone had to. Look, this one's way out of shape!
Ummmm I have no experience with anti rust spray but id guess not because its a spray???
I know it was a question directed at her but in my experience, it's easy to buy anti rust sprays, the applying bit...depends on what surface and how rusty the thing is :P
*looks at the bench*
Oh, yes, I guess it could do with some exercise.
*raises an eyebrow*
*coughs and looks meaningfully at Sil*. Thank you, Lauren. It's good to meet you.
*motions to Sil* may I sit next to you?
Sure.
*shifts over slightly to make room*
Feel free to share the bench
I also get that it's a rhetorical question though XD
have we met before, vivanus?
Fera, if the spray was used correctly, there wouldn't have been any rust in the first place.
Pssssh.
*waves a hand*
The rust adds character. Not everything is shiny and perfect.
*pats the bench*
Not everyone can be flawless..
Its nice to meet you also :) im not sure I understand the question though???
*sits down, jumps back up and smooths out a rough edge before reclaiming his seat*. Has your absence treated you well?
(@Fera: Umm...I'm not sure)
It's..
*sighs*
It's been trying. But I think I might be over the worst of it now.
Don't think so then? Good afternoon/evening/day cycle/hell cycle/ suffering/ misery/ burning/ pain/ die die die die die die die die
ooops. That went well XD
Don't worry about it Lauren :)
(@Lauren: I made almost all the benches in Blogland a while back.
@Fera: And good Afternoon/evening/day cycle/solar day/sunshine/happines/joy/fun/live live live live live live to you!)
*slides a hand around the bench back, taking off rust, repairing the metal*. I'm sorry. Has it changed you?
Everything changes everyone, so yes it has. Whether it's for the better is for others to judge.
*grins, a manic glint to her eye*
Although I should think not.
*frowns, narrowing her eyes at him removing the rust*
Oh for heavens sake, leave the poor abused bench alone! Leave just ONE bench to be left with its imperfections.
And thus you have fulfilled the prophecy of becoming my yang XD
... where is/what is Blogland???
still a better love story than twilight 420/69 IMDB; brilliant performance wow ;)
this is an rp kind of thing, lauren XD we call this blogland and when we rp as if we were there in person, we use that platform :P
*sighs and leaves the remaining rust to its business*. Well what should I do with my hands instead?
(Fera: I think I'm the yin. Isn't yang the dark one?)
(Blogland is here.
Blogland is also the rp world in which our oc's interact, mostly a huge forest although there are towns and cities as well.)
Whatever you want Mr Tinman, just leave the bench alone.
*smiles at the bench*
Make yourself some nice rings or a complex statue, that used to preoccupy you well.
nahhh but yin is the feminine one which isn't very accurate I mean I do have some feminine in me but am mostly muscly, brutal, cold and dark :P
(Yin is the dark side with a kernel of hope. Yang is the white side with a kernel of corruption.)
*smiles a small smile*. So did you. How are you on knives?
(@Fera: Don't you mean yang? )
Okkkk haha ;)
No XD Yang is the white. Yin is the dark. Yang is the masculine with mostly good features but with a small amount of dark, yin is the one with mostly bad features but with a small amount of white.
Mm. Yes, well, "did".
*shakes her head*
Knives? I'm good, most of them are still alright. Lost a few since last we spoke.
(Nvm, Sil's right. I'm the yang)
Blogland is the lake, the forest, the clearing, the tree houses, the volcano, the swivel chairs, the people and so much more
*takes one of the arm rests from the bench and begins to mold it*. Are you sure? I have a new technique, extra sharp...
(@Fera: My mistake. Sorry.)
A new technique? What is it, infuse it with the hatred and heartbreak smouldering deep within?
*smiles sweetly*
Sounds brilliant actually.
OMG Hoan one of my favorite dancers, I mean holy crap, the dude has some insane musicality and great pops! Not too loose but not too tight either, just perfect! I mean, just watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etaOzZlbj9s SUCH A SICK STYYYLLLEEE.
OHHHHHH jai, wanna share making a bench out of all those things? :P
(*rolls eyes* As you can see Sil is a bit.. Sharp at the moment.)
*shakes his head* no, those don't stand wear and tear well. No, the trick is to arrange the molecules in a certain fashion that ensures the strongest bonds possible. Speaking of rings...
It's not really a bad thing is it? :P
A knife would be brilliant.
*looks at the bench, tracing the rust on its surface, focusing on it*
*insert: rings do well
(Eh, it's kinda amusing for me.)
wait, I'll get fera and shiet XD
Fera: Suh dude.
(same with me so don't stop? :P )
*concentrates on the knife forming of out the molten metal in his hands* How about blood? What am I saying, you never run low.
*glances at Fera* Hello
*looks at him for a long moment after questioning her blood supplies*
*she drained them dry quite a bit ago*
*she hasn't fed in weeks..*
Of course I'm fine with blood.
*looks at Fera*
Fera: *holds up "V" as his fingers* ha' suh dude *tries to hold back laugh*
*the knife suddenly snaps together, extremely sharp. He stares* You ran out? I know that look.
*ignores Fera for the moment *
Of course I haven't ran out.
*huffs, glaring at the bench*
Why would I allow myself to run out?
fera: *lays down on the floor, next to them* hmmm.
*dangles the knife in front of her, with a small ruby embedded in the hilt* it's yours if you admit.
*studies the knife, humming appreciatively*
No etch work done on the blade Vivanus? You're growing too practical. Add some more finesse.
*grins*
(@Sil: I just had a terrible idea. I thought, "What if we just take Fera's blood". And then I reeled back, horrified. That's what I get for just rereading Demon Road...)
*winks* try running your finger down the side. The etchings will appear from your thoughts.
(fera doesn't technically have blood anyways XD )
Fera: Blades are cool *tries to adjust his puffy hair but fails* though I prefer fists.
(What does he have?)
*turns sharply to Fera* Have you ever punched a razor?
(@Viv xD yup, that'd be the kernel of corruption there)
*tilts her head, intrigued*
*gently traces her finger the length of the blade*
*grins as intricate swirls appear etched into the blade, subtly containing the names of the people she loved and lost, both from her own mistakes and not*
*looks down at Fera*
Fists will suffice when in the absence of a blade. But metal sings where fists grunt.
(doesn't even have blood vessels. just a few organs(non human) and this black liquid that is poisonous to most creatures)
Fera: *smiles* me? Are you kidding? Punching a blade would make me bleed. *looks at sil* I see.
*looks her in the eye* So, madamoiselle, do we have a deal?
Sil said it better
*raises an eyebrow at madamoiselle*
Hmph. Fine. My supplies may have depleted somewhat.
Fera: *been listening to the conversation* want me to get you some? I've got quite a bit stored at my place *smiles*
*notices the eyebrow* Well, I didn't get the chance to turn you into a madam, did I?
*hands her the knife * would you like some?
*grunts quietly*
That's quite alright. I'm getting along just fine with what I have.
*dude*
*you have nothing*
*•fine• is not the term I'd use*
Fera: No? Alrighty *stands up* well, I offered.
*smiles at the knife*
I'll get by with what I have.
*slits her palm gently with the knife, grinning at the sharpness of the blade*
Ah. Beautiful. I think this one will be named. Rememberance. Mmm.
*nods, slipping the knife away, ignoring her bleeding hand*
*rolls his eyes* I have some with me. It's mine though.
Oh Vivanus, you know having your blood would just make you irresistible at night
*grins*
And not in the way you might want.
*sighs and hands over the bottle*. You practiced that, didn't you?
Fera: That word play though. *just leans against a tree* *ponders on what to do with these two* *decides to not do much* You, what's your names anyways?
Practiced? Me? You know I'm more of an improvisation person. I don't practice or plan.
*takes the bottle despite how much she despises charity*
*flicks the top open with her thumb, locking eyes with Vivanus as she downs the contents thirstily*
Fera: I mean, I know *looks over* the vamp's name. Dunno yours *turns to the guy*
And yet, that line sounded less than brand new. Don't worry, I'll wear my armor to bed. For protection.
*turns to Fera* Vivanus Keen, and you?
*narrows her eyes at being referred to as the vamp*
*a pet hate of hers*
*the vamp indeed*
(Fera, that second pun was in honor of you)
*finishes the last of the bottle and licks her lips, humming happily*
*smiles slightly, closing her eyes as energy flows through her again*
Of course the line was brand new. I don't like using lines twice.
*raises an eyebrow at "the vamp". This should be fun*
Fera: OHHHh yeeaaah, that's my boi *laughs* it's fera, nice to meet you.
*looks over to sil* why, what do you want your denominator to be? Her? him? I didn't want to say "it". I didn't say "a" vamp. I said "the" vamp as to praise you. Would you like me to call you her next time?
(First!!! For the first time in ages!!!)
*hands the empty bottle back to Vivanus*
*nods by way of thanks*
Let's hope armour is enough to protect you then. We both know what a beast I am.
*smirks*
*looks at Fera*
Name. I have a name. Either use she/her or my name.
(( I dedicate this page to puns! ))
Fera: *presses hands against both cheeks and let out an "ooooohhhhh" whilst he pretends to fall down* I cannot even take this amount of word play *laughs*
*turns to silente* *smiles* alright, silente.
(hear hear. Puns are great. Especially sexual ones)
*smirks back* my suit's strong enough. I've never had to worry about penetration before.
*looks Fera up and down* what are you?
(Hear here!)
*chuckles quietly, smiling to herself genuinely for one*
No? Shame you never thought to make me a set then.
*grins slightly * would you have used it?
Fera: What am I not? *smirks back* This conversation sounds pretty riled. Your relationship with silente seems like a .... hard ride *smirks even more, almost creepily*
