Joey's fuck it, and then smile because we have his back 🥹

Disclaimer: I have talents, but singing (especially while sobbing) is not one of them.

On my way to Pheonix Fan Fusion! Dressed as Schmendrick for the next 2 hours, then it's Witcher time!

Was editing some stuff for my Witcher presentation for Pheonix Fan Fusion and I just HAD to post this picture for you guys

Drew the scene from the original novel where the two of them escape from the military camp.

Long time no see all!

Sorry for the delay, I know I promised I’d post more of the videos I got soon… I’ve just been so jet-lagged I’ve been focused on settling back into work and acting like I’m normal and didn’t experience a genuinely life changing event.

Here’s a snippet from the first song of the night, A Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious. They really know their audience ☺️

My favorite memories of the performance are moments like these, that were so uniquely TAD, so intrinsically tied to THIS audience, THIS time and THIS place, that they are truly irreplicable. The way we were all right there with Joey and Madeleine, were feeling their lyrics so deeply and with such love we couldn’t help but spontaneously start to sing along? Magic.

I’ll be making an effort to post more of my favorite clips of the performance in the coming days. The videos I got aren’t the best (I was fighting tooth and nail with my phone’s focus the entire time, ugh), especially when compared to some of the really awesome videos other fans have shared, but I’d still love to offer what I’ve got!

I do have audio recording of the book interview at the start, as well as longer videos (and these shorter ones not absolutely fucking mangled by Tumblr’s compression, if anyone has tips on how to deal with this I’d love to know). If people are interested I’d be happy to put together a Google Drive to share. Just let me know!!

It’s been so joyous to see everyone’s posts about the night, I love you all so much and I feel so lucky to be a part of a fanbase as fucking amazing as this one ❤️

You don't get to play damsel in distress. That's my job.

My Husband and I had the absolute privilege of being at Joey and Madeleine's gig at the Hay Festival on Friday night. Words cannot describe how special it was...so I won't, instead here is a link to the YouTube channel where the videos he took are in HD for all to enjoy! @chrisschuring on YouTube.

The Amazing Devil at Hay Festival 2026

[creatureseeker]

The Amazing Devil performance yesterday was hands down the best live show I have ever been to. It’s not even close, and not to be melodramatic or cliche, but I will genuinely treasure the memory forever.

I keep trying to write out exactly how it felt, what it meant for me to be there, but nothing seems to be enough. I’ll keeping working on it, and I’ll post more of the photos and videos I got soon (most likely when I’m back in the states and can take a breath lol).

I will say though, that the connection I felt to every person in that room was near spiritual. To anyone who was not able to make it, if it’s any comfort know that we were carrying all of you with us 💕

[erunjohnlambert]

it was utterly magical in such an unexplainable way

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

gotta say, the witcher has really revolutionised fantasy tv by deciding that high-waisted pants are the peak of fashion for dudes in witcherland

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

the men of the witcher are in the equivalent of our world's current craze for high waisted jeans. this is the reason why the witcher is so good, and why game of thrones failed so bad.

[buttercupsanddandelions]

I love this but I'd like to point out that op used both of their saddest scenes to demonstrate the waistline of their pants

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

the saddest men have the highest pants

This is an album I put together last December for a friend! I edited some of the vocal and instrumental tracks on our favorite songs to make special versions of them (like instrumentals or piano only), made some photo edits on Canva and called the whole thing a "TAD Deluxe Version" (?)

(If you are able to scan the QR I don't mind. In fact, enjoy 💜 There's also some Joey songs from TV shows and plays that I cleared the annoying white noise from so, bonus tracks I guess).

[youangelheart]

okii here's a google drive link that i reallyyy hope works for everyone!!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mzi3toGLNzk1DSaE9C251IUkERAtAwW3/view?usp=drivesdk

this is a 1 hour 14 long uncut audio but if anyone wants only the songs, i can try to cut it when i get back home

i was sat in the 3rd? 4th? row quite near a speaker but it still can't do them justice

The best night omg
