rionaleonhartIn Peter Pan Goes Wrong, Robert comments on Sandra 'flirting with everybody'. Everybody, you say? I do love an opportunity to ship a character with everyone, but how do I learn how to write everyone?
When I get fannishly into a work of fiction, I want to gather whatever information I can find that might be useful for characterisation. Usually, this is a simple matter; I just have to watch the show or read the book or play the game!
The Goes Wrong Show universe is more of a challenge. The actual actors are playing fictitious 'actors' who are playing characters, and it's the 'actors' I want to learn more about. If you want to learn more about the fictitious members of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, you really have to go digging!
There are snippets of characterisation scattered across a bunch of theatrical performances and supplemental materials, some of which are readily available and some of which really aren't. The Goes Wrong Show itself is easy to come by; it's on BBC iPlayer (although I bought it on DVD because we don't have a television licence), and I've heard it's free on YouTube outside the UK.
(If you're curious about this stupid thing I've gone insane about, I suggest trying the Goes Wrong Show episode '90 Degrees', which instantly makes it clear how ludicrously dedicated the (actual) actors are to the craft of fucking everything up. It takes genuine effort to make a play go this badly!)
Beyond that, I find myself desperately piecing these characters together through brief faux 'behind the scenes' videos across various platforms, and one two-hour in-character radio broadcast, The Christmas That Goes Wrong, which aired in 2016 and is now only available on the Internet Archive.
(I'm including this link solely for my own future self's reference; this is very much a 'this is of interest to me and only me' piece of media! Do you want to hear Chris Bean and Robert Grove fuck up and play 'Summer Holiday' instead of 'White Christmas' three times? Of course you don't. I do. This is for me. If for some reason you do decide to listen, the programme starts three minutes into the audio file, but I really wouldn't recommend it unless the Goes Wrong universe already has its claws in you.)
I still haven't seen The Play That Goes Wrong itself, which is where most of these characters actually originated. I am, I'll be honest, eyeing up theatre tickets.
Anyway, here are my favourite stupid facts I've gleaned about the members of this fictional drama society from supplemental materials. Actually, now that I double-check, all of these facts are about Robert, my beloved terrible egotistic weirdo. (Why are all of my blorbos the worst? Why can't I ever fall in love with someone nice?)
( Stupid facts about Robert Grove of the Goes Wrong Show. )
My personal favourite bit of supplemental Goes Wrong material I've come across is this stupid two-minute promotional video (Tumblr link) in which Robert is helping Chris try on suits. Extremely weird and homoerotic; single-handedly sent me from 'I'm not really shipping any of these characters' to 'okay, yeah, these two should have absolutely disastrous sex'. Robert may or may not actively be attempting to murder Chris here?

Drawing practice
Jan. 8th, 2026 08:47 pmfred_mouseI stalled out last year on the drawing practice, because I tidied up my sketchbook and pencils, and it was so frustrating not to be able to find them that I abandoned the project. But I was in OfficeWorks the other day, and bought myself a $5 pack of 12 sketching pencils and a $2 tiny shitty sketchbook.
Two days ago, I attempted to draw something from my screen, and was too sore/tired/grumpy, and gave up after about three lines. Today, I realised that the worst part of drawing is working out where to start. So! I have a simplified goal. Attempt to draw my hand at least once a week. Today's effort was about 5 minutes worth, I got the thumb, some of the palm, and two of the fingers before running out of oomph. I've worked out that I'd rather do a stack of detail in one place than try and sketch the whole shape before getting started. And it wasn't fun, but it wasn't awful.
The Day in Spikedluv (Wednesday, Jan 7)
Jan. 8th, 2026 06:20 amspikedluvI had a chiropractic appointment this morning. This would have been a no-shopping day, but I forgot one item crucial to tonight’s supper, so I stopped at Price Chopper and naturally bought a few other things. I also hit the post office (to mail a returned Christmas card because I screwed up the address *head desk*).
I did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, went for several walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter. Supper was shake ‘n bake pork chops, which you cannot have without shake ‘n bake. Who knew? o_O
I tried the Raspberry tea this morning, since I was home long enough to drink a cup. It reminds me of the Pomegranate tea. I read more in Amelia Peabody and watched some HGTV (Fixer to Fabulous and House Hunters International) and Secrets of the Zoo.
I’m separating this out because it’s so exciting: I added ~1,700 words to my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
smallfandomfest fic!! It was a ~really good writing day. Few and far between these days.
Temps started out at 34.5(F). It was still raining and all the schools in the county were delayed 2 hours, so it’s a good thing I had already planned to leave later. The roads weren’t too bad when I finally did head out. Temps reached 36.7, which is barely two degrees warmer than it was this morning. This is one of the reasons winter sucks.
Mom Update:
Mom sounded good on the phone. She’d just had a call from my brother and Sister A was visiting, so that was nice. She said the hospice visit was filling out a lot of paperwork and a brief overview. Thank goodness the hospice rep did all the paperwork. This woman (hospice rep) does our area and she worked with a woman we knew who recently passed away, and her daughter told Sister S that she was very good, so that’s good to know.
I later found out that Sister S also visited, so mom heard from or had visits from all of her kids today.

new year, new insurance
Jan. 8th, 2026 12:53 amredbirdI gave Capsule my new insurance information, and then had them deliver a prescription.
I will need/use the inhaler, but this is also confirmation that yes, I (still) have prescription drug coverage.
Other than that, not a great day. Fingertips are improving, but I had a sudden nosebleed while sitting quietly on the couch an hour ago. *sigh*

Jan. 7th, 2026 07:14 pmshadarasThe thing about Martha Wells' Queen Demon is that I really adored Witch King and then was mad about the fact that it wasn't a stand-alone book because I didn't feel a need for more in that universe.
Queen Demon is a perfectly serviceable book. I generally like Martha Wells' writing and her casts of characters. However. One of the things that I did not mind in Witch King but do mind in Queen Demon is the dual timelines. I suppose they weren't precisely directly connected in Witch King either, but there it had the effect of explaining who Kai was and providing all the backstory to the world. In Queen Demon, it's like...
I can see echoes but it's not direct. It ended up feeling like I was intercutting between two novellas with a shared world/cast, rather than one book that built its thematic/narrative push along a split timeline.
And yeah that probably wasn't helped by how I read it (in three sittings, more or less, each a couple weeks apart), but...
The main feeling I had about this novel was that every chapter seemed designed to end on a cliffhanger, which is perfectly reasonable design/structure for a novel, but also way more annoying when you know that you're not going to be immediately following up on that bit of time when you begin the next chapter.
This then leads into my biggest "I didn't like this" about the book, which is that it ends in much the same way as any of its chapters end, just on a bigger scale. Which, like, yeah, that's normal for a book in a series, I guess? But it's not how I'm used to Martha Wells books in series ending! She is usually pretty good about wrapping things up instead of ending on "here is a dramatic change in status quo that we are not even providing characters time to have an emotion about before cutting from".
...which then leads to the biggest question I have about bk3, which is:
So if the naming schema so far has been "magic-user + royalty title", does that mean the next book will be named for the Immortal Blessed or the Hierarchs?
( spoiler-tastic specific ??? about the ending )
(yes I will read bk3 when it comes out but I still think that I liked Witch King as a standalone more than Witch King as a series.)

341/365: Kidderminster Town Hall and Rowland Hill statue
Click for a larger, sharper image
It's not that easy finding anything that isn't depressing in Kidderminster, which seems to fall apart a bit more every time I go. Post-industrial towns are often like that, and Kiddy is certainly one of those. The Town Hall, however, was built at a time when the place was thriving as a centre of the carpet industry. It's recently been refurbished, so it looks reasonable again. The statue is of Sir Rowland Hill (1795–1879) who was born in Kidderminster. He is probably best known today for having invented the adhesive postage stamp; the Penny Black's design is based on an idea by Hill.

Let's Get Literate! 2025 Reading Recap
Jan. 7th, 2026 04:31 pmrenay posting in ladybusiness2025 was the first year my reading started to feel less like a miracle and more like, "oh yeah, reading! I do that without struggling." I read 78 books, although a lot of them were rereads. I'm happy to reread The Murderbot Diaries and a bunch of my favorite romance novels a few times a year. The brain craves familiarity.
I have elevenish favorites this year (I combined books in series, because I make the rules). My top book, which is no big secret as I've been shouting about it for months, is the only one ranked; the rest are here in alphabetical order.
( Favorite Books )
( The numbers and musings )
That's a wrap on 2025! If you read any of my favorites and have readalikes, I'm always hyped for recs. If you wrote a favorites post for your SFF reading, I'd love to see it (and then link it in Intergalactic Mixtape, haha).

A week after last post
Jan. 7th, 2026 08:39 pmhunninghamMy father-in-law is staying with his daughter for a couple of weeks, so I have swapped one elderly relative for another and come up to Edinburgh to visit my mother. I came up on Saturday, and leaving tomorrow Thursday.
My mother doesn't need much help, so most of what I do is sit with her and listen. I have brought my laptop with me, and am also working while I'm here - this helps, it gives us a break from each other. I have also watched far too many episodes of a TV show called Bargain Hunt, and another show about house-hunting and lots of weather reporting. All the exciting weather is in the highlands, here it's just freezing temperatures & sleety rain. We've been to Tesco, where we managed to mislay each other, and my mother was horrified by the price of frozen mashed potatoes. The USA is gangstering into Venezuela.
It's been long visit, I'm not sleeping well, and I'm feeling very worn.
