NEW FRIENDS ACQUIRED. They're a breeding pair of giant American millipedes. Haven't decided what to name them yet but the larger one is quite chill about being grabbed while the little one is like "pls do not". Glad they survived the mail okay.

Been busy preparing for my surgery coming up on Monday. I'm nervous about being put under but will be glad to finally be done with all the random bursts of pain I get. Also weird to think today is my last day of work for the year, but I look forward to having the time to actually work on things.

Been thinking about maybe attempting to make a Second Sentinel cosplay during my time off. I won't be able to go anywhere or do much of anything post-op so I'm gonna need a variety of things to keep my brain occupied. I think it would be doable. We'll see.

I'd draw something for ace week but I already have 5 separate tabs open in CSP and should probably finish them before I get carried away with anything else, lol.

I do hope that when my comic is ready for release that people understand I didn't copy from Silksong. I swear I planned most of it years before it came out and things like the prince wieding a pin like a fencer or World's Worst Mom Goddess is just me and Team Cherry sharing the same brainwave, lol.

I've been replaying the OG Hollow Knight to see how the difficulty compares to Silksong and holy shit, I am just crushing it. I am become too powerful.

When I finish up what I'm currently working on I might attempt this silly idea for a shirt I now want to have.
Basically Tormented Trobbio doing one of his dramatic poses with just his name spelled out in heavy metal album cover font.

My surgery date has officially been set in November. Got a few things I need to prepare for it as it's a 6 week recovery period and I'm going to be absolutely fucked up on pain meds for the first week. With luck I'll bounce back pretty fast though and get a bunch of art done.

The eternal struggle of not wanting to make any more fan characters but your brain coming up with a really cool idea for one anyway.
Help.

Trying to complete the hunter's journal in my quest to get all of the achievements and that hidden area above the cradle is going to make me CHEW THROUGH MY CONTROLLER.

I think my favourite of all the silly little details in Silksong are the wild grunting noises Widow makes during her boss fight. Idk why but they delighted me so much. I just love feral women I guess.

Apparently it was supposed to be the rapture again today? Christian Americans are so weird man, they want the world to end so bad just so they don't have to take any responsibility for the bullshit they've caused, lmao.

I do have a couple criticisms and ramblings for Silksong and none of them have anything to do with the difficulty, lol. Spoilers imminent in thread below.

I keep getting my ass obliterated by Lace 3.0. I can do her first two phases just fine but phase 3 is such sensory overload for me that I am STRUGGLING.

The Trobbio reprise is a much appreciated bit of silliness among all this absolute depression. Most of these boss fights in act 3 feel so bad to win man.

Taking a break from Silksong to draw Peal in a Hollow Knight -ish style. Kind of funny because Peal started out as just the name I gave the pre-infection Traitor Lord. I turned him into an OC because I didn't want to lose that part of Nugget's backstory, and now he's my main boy oops.

I'm in act 3 now and EVERYTHING HURTS SO MUCH but I've beaten one of the bosses and have become witness to the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Fuck Bilewater man. I avoided having to do it for as long as possible and now I actually need to kill that boss and I hate it so much. That walk back is brutal, lmao.

Is my birthday tomorrow and what a difference this month has been compared to the absolute dogshit that was last year. Silksong is out, I won $150 at work and I'm even getting birthday gifts this year instead of being completely forgotten by everyone. I hope that's a sign my life is on the upswing.

Currently stuck on Lace 2.0 and not even mad about it because she's fun to trade blows with and the stage is pretty. Her anime villainess laugh stole my heart back in act 1, lol.
It is also very funny seeing how much people are crying about the difficulty in act 1. You do know it gets harder yes?
