Back. Up. Your. Files.
Here's a wee announcement for you. Some of the ToS crew have (stupidly?) signed up to a Secret Santa and have agreed to stream whatever our Secret Santa has picked for us.
Streams will be through December (maybe some in the new year) with the 21st Dec having a marathon of potentially cursed games.

I idolised Kai from Beyblade so much I had a dream I can still recall clearly. I went into Toys R Us and discovered his Black Dranzer from his villain arc - it was in a huge case covered in chains and hidden in a derelict ailse. The intense desire I felt scared me, and steered from the path of evil
When yall were kids (think like.. age 4-12) what was the coolest character design you had ever seen that was super formative?

Thinking about how I (as a child, mind) heard the lyrics from 'Be Our Guest' "Tie a napkin round your neck, Cherie" and thought a Necksherry was just a french woman's neck

In my neverending drama life, got hate crimed and threatened outside the Doublet pub by some fiercely anti-pakistani randoms. Staff gave their sympathies, but did not move a punter who joined in, who I'd informed them of. Hate being a downer on socials but can't help being alive, haha!!
