Hey 322 Crew, Fall is definitely arrived here in Tampa. Morning temps clocking in the low 60s and soon mid-50s. It’s truly refreshing and the days of mid-80s or 90s are behind us. Work schedule has opted to mess with my sleep pattern but as of today, things will be back to normal. I have begun to start a monthly writing schedule non-FireFrei related. At this time, the name of the story is called Drafts. It had been on my mind to do a story project where I write a chapter, long or short, for each month an at the conclusion of 12 months, release it in printed format.

My NG+ run of Demon's Souls guest starring ScarletxStar!

It’s been a while since updating but no worries — I have resumed transcribing the story and boy is it refreshing to revisit to edit after months of hiatus from editing. As of this entry, I’m on page 62 — and that’s counting the chapter art covers. In the middle of all the political heat happening here in the USA, it’s been refreshing to just put step away and do what I love — which is drawing and writing. When awaiting my kid to get outta class, I’m doodling at a local Salem’s and when it’s day off and I’m home, if I’m not streaming or watching something, I’ll likely put my mind into writing.

Of all things that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has done, it’s this — reopening the conversation of grief. It also made me revisit the complexity of it within a family dynamic and the is means a lot to me. It’s because I’ve been there. This blog was going to be a massive theme conversation with spoilers of Act 3 ahead of the videos I’ve uploaded on my YouTube channel; I’ve opted to instead just…save that for a Part 2 of this blog mini-series. The Prologue was a great premise and gave us that initial “kill god cuz they killing us” premise but when Sophia brought up how the Paintress seemed sad, I got “Fractured Marika” vibes from…

This past week here in the US has been yet another one that has led to heated discussion regarding freedom of speech. This also includes the spectrum of consequences that can be unlocked by it depending on the message. Yet something sprung up in my head as I decided to think upon it all this morning writing this while in anticipation of today's glorious yet heartbreaking episode of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on my channel. It's Verso, the 2nd protagonist of the story. If you've watched my livestream on Twitch a few weeks back on our journey through the Visages, Monoco spoke of "he who hides truth with lies" and that stuck with me.

Do you see yourself as a leader? If I’m honest, a very reluctant one. I would tackle the role but am not one to use it maliciously to lord over others. Don’t walk behind me like sheep; walk with and beside me. I don’t care to be served but rather to serve. That’s sound leadership; to not feed one’s ego and feed the needs of others instead.

Hey 322 Crew, I'm recovering from a nasty cold yet true to my word, trying to post content as daily as possible until the next major episode this friday. I d...

How are you feeling right now? It’s Saturday morning and I’m a wreck. Before going to work, I took time on Twitch to stream more Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to get through the Forgotten Battlefield and fight Pontiff Sulyv— erm I meant Dualliste. What I wasn’t prepared for was the very heartstring-pulling meeting under what looks like a Weirwood tree from a A Song of Ice And Fire by George R.R. Martin. I cried…a lot. Yes, I cried significantly more than when I saw Aerith die in Final Fantasy VII…

The ghost that haunts my dreams. She reminds me of loss procured and agony afflicted like ash seeking embers. Your laugh still in the air but your hugs and love cut off from this earth. A fate unkind, as though taunting me into despair. At times would that I’d trade places so you can embrace loving faces but who’s to say you wouldn’t hurt more while struggling for air once for sure. I see your innocent aura in the eyes of a kin; who is of my blood, not afflicted by the world she’s in.

The Fallen Leaves tell a taleIn a forgotten battlefield of saints and sinnersKings and Queens of blinding eyes and stolen dreamsLeaving behind hollows and misbegotten to simmer They left behind a legacy —A canvas of wintry fog and wind blowing forth bloodMisbegotten families in sorrowFor the blasphemous treachery upon them was sprung. Can you hear them?The whispers,The tearsand the groans of sorrow?In the absence of their kindling flames,Is there no hope for tomorrow. Yet fallen leaves drift along with the blood in the wind.

It’s morning and thankfully I had some rest the last two nights. In the process, I did have another major streaming session of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The game is truly a modern masterpiece. I’m approaching close to the end of Act I and with all the reveal dumps that happened with Maelle’s Nightmares, I’ve experienced anxiety, shock, awe and even a hint of fear.
