Club High Castle

It is finally here, and I am thrilled to own one of the Man in the High Castle promo packages from 2017 at long last! Resistance Radio Promo: Inside the paper record player I remember when everyone was posting their photos of it on Twitter, and though I knew there was a 0% chance that I’d be surprised by one in the mail, I still checked every single day in hopes of mysteriously finding one inside my mailbox. In my, oh so fan, defense, they had my mailing address already. I won a signed promo poster for Season 2. I’ve mentioned how much I wanted one before (and let’s just say how much = A. LOT. A hell of a lot.), and I still cannot believe I was able to get my hands on one. Yes, I really have longed for one over the past four years.  I’m still blown away by the creativity behind it. It was such a clever way to slip Resistance Radio inside a fictitious GNR songbook, immersing you into the world of Philip K. Dick. It honestly feels like a traveler from their universe brou...

And we’re back with another fun filled Seriously Geeky Sundays adventure! Today we are taking a trip to Asia.  14th February – Around the World in 8 Sundays [Asia] Everyone is going to be sick of lovey-dovey stuff today, so you’ll be glad to hear we’re skipping it as we head Around the World to Asia as February 12th was the Chinese New Year! Who is your favourite female character from this continent? There are so many amazing characters to choose from. I couldn’t possibly select just one, so I’ll highlight two of my favorites. High Castle’s The Crown Princess – She is beautiful, calm, collected, yet passionate and authoritative when it comes to doing the right thing. And I am sure this comes as no surprise to my High Castle fam! The Expanse – Chrisjen Avasarala, Queen Secretary-General of Earth. Need I say more? How about a male character? High Castle : Chief Inspector Kido – A complex character played to perfection by Joel de la Fuente . Kido will...

I started writing something new, and I decided to share the first draft, chapter by chapter with everyone. I mean, it will force me to stay on top of things; plus, I can open the comments up to readers who enjoy spotting typos and grammatical errors (I’m thinking of doing something special to reward people for that–a prize tier list for how many errors you spot! Let me know if this sounds like something you’d like to participate in). Metropolis is set on a distant, dying world (of the same name) ruled by an authoritarian government. Annalise Drake assumes life is good, for she knows nothing else…

And it’s time for another fun filled prompt from Seriously Geeky Sundays! This week’s questions are near and dear to my heart. I have always filled my dwellings with posters, banners, and action figures of my favorite shows and movies. 31st January – Decorate We’ve come to the final week of the Adorn, Decorate and Embellish three-month theme. It’s Inspire Your Heart With Art Day today which is the perfect day to explore the topic of decorating in relation to fandoms and being a geek. Do you decorate your home with geeky products? Oh yes. So much yes. I’ll focus on areas of the house that I don’t think I regularly post photos of. I mean, I’ve posted Club High Castle many times! I’m going to let other places share the spotlight today. For starters, let me talk about the stairs and our hallway. We’ve got space posters along the stairwell. As you go up the stairs, you are greeted with banners from House Stark and Targaryen. House Lannister appears when you tur...

It’s time for another fun filled adventure with Seriously Geeky Sundays! This time we are heading done under for a look at Australia! 24th January – Around the World in 8 Sundays [Australia] The 26th January is Australia Day, the national day of Australia which marks the anniversary of the first fleet of British ships to land at Sydney Cove in 1788. Despite being a national day, it does reflect a controversial point of history and is also referred to as Invasion Day. I recommend learning more about it here . I’ve chosen this day for this month’s Around the World in 8 Sundays topic because history isn’t simple. It is controversial, and contemporary celebrations for Australia Day have worked to encompass every aspect of Australian culture. This seemed the ideal way to introduce a discussion about the pop culture of the continent of Australia . What is your favourite fandom set in Australia? Mad Max: Fury Road is one of my all time favorite movies. I wrote a review which goes into d...

Hello, everyone! It’s time for a Seriously Geeky Sunday double header! Let’s do this thing, here we go! 10th January – New year, new… fandoms? Forget new year’s resolutions; new fandoms is what the new year is really all about! We all had high hopes for how 2021 was going to start out, and while we can’t control that we can look forward to what’s coming out in the entertainment world. Let’s start big; what release are you most looking forward to this year? I must confess that I have not been keeping up with upcoming releases. Most of the shows I’ve been looking forward to were affected by the pandemic. With that being said, future episodes of The Expanse . I am so glad they are airing them weekly!  What new release this year are you not that hyped up about? I honestly don’t know. There really isn’t anything coming out on a subscription service I have that I’m actively dreading (ha ha!). I don’t give shows I don’t enjoy the time of day. A new year often means ne...

I updated the look of a few things and hid some Easter eggs in Club High Castle for everyone 😉 Expect more Easter eggs and things in the future! https://blog.mlcartthings.me/ #HighCastle – Originally tweeted by Ms. Luna ( @MishiWan ) on January 1, 2021 . Let’s dive right in, shall we? My one goal for 2020 was to start writing again, and considering I could barely force a sentence out between 2018 and 2019, mission accomplished. It took me a few months to write more than just a few words, but I did it! Next step is to actually finish a novel.  2021 goals Drawing – 2020 put a damper on my art. Ask me one year ago today how I thought 2020 would go, and COVID-19 was not it. I made 90 posts on Instagram (which means roughly 90 pieces of art) compared to over 200 in 2019. It’s time to change that. I have some awesome ideas for this year! Grasshoppers, keep your eyes peeled because I have AN EPIC HIGH CASTLE project in the works.  Work Out – Hear me out! Don’t ...
