@venomousalex69.bsky.social made me my very first piece of fan art!
It became a running joke on my Spooky’s streams that the Deer Lord is constantly giving chase in Endless Mode, so he made this artwork of me running away from said Deer Lord.
I love it!

SCARY GAME WARNING
Holy hell, stream was fun earlier, but sometimes it was fun for the wrong reasons.
Anyway, here's a video of me barely outrunning the Deer Lord and some Husks, a combo I had to deal with again later, but it was nowhere near as bad as this instance.

Final Carrot Report:
Unfortunately, due to the lack of space between the seeds, and the pot not being deep enough, the carrots have grown in such a manner that makes them unsalvageable, but still edible.
It’s sad, but it was a learning experience for me, which I can use for next year’s harvest.

CW: Racism, homophobia, ableism, bullying, and especially grooming.
I’m very scared, but I will finally break my three-year long silence on this case regardless.
