Audentes Fortuna had better fucking Iuvat because I'm about to attempt a Henry of Skalitz Cover Art Armor cosplay (that I would actually re-wear in day to day life) AND a Hans Capon red chaperon hood.

Oh boy.
Drafting muslin, red wool, a sewing machine, silver thread, and a pair of knitting needs are displayed on a wooden kitchen table. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 cover art. Henry of Skalitz holds a sword over his head, wearing armor with a red tunic underneath. To his right Hans Capon holds a sword up, wearing an intricate red chaperon hood and yellow gold tunic. To Henry's right Katherine holds a crossbow while wearing a blue dress, and Jan Zizka is holding his mace. Pauli has drawn red arrows pointing to Henry's red tunic and Hans Capon's red hood.

Finding out the cast of Dropout and Critical Role and half the voice actors I've heard of are in this is MAKING MY DAY.

Whoever decided to make a dating sim where every household item is a hot person trying to flirt with you deserves a raise, because pitching that concept takes guts and I LIKE IT.
The cover art for a dating simulator game called "Date Everything". Multiple masculine and feminine characters are shown in an anime style, each with references to the household object they represent.

Can attest, it's tasty! Also if your roommate doesn't like the look of jabuticaba I suspect that guaraná is also ... not his vibe?
An image of the Brazilian guaraná plant, which has a red outer shell that breaks open, and a large black seed with a white protective layer around it. The guaraná plant tends to look like a branch full of eyes.

[sighs, begins muttering to herself]

I do not have time to play Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Same as I do not have time to play Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. I do not have time to pick up a new deeply immersive video game, no matter how hard the art slaps.

NO MATTER. 👏 HOW HARD. 👏 THE ART. 👏 SLAPS. 🙏
The cover art for Clair Obscur Expedition 33. The image shows four characters in black and gold expedition unforms, each weilding magical weapons, as they approach a dark monolith. A giant, white-haired, godlike creature sits against the monolith in the fetal position.

Also Efteling park has this spooky section that is ABSOLUTELY inspiring gay-vampires-and-lesbian-witch-knights ideas for that novel I'm working on 😍
Pictured is The Danse Macabre attraction, a spooky, gothic looking building with boarded up windows. A set of gothic wooden display cases with broken glass, and carvings of a scary feline, show the story of the Danse Macabre ride. A stone-like statue of a vampire feline with fangs and bat wings. A statue of a man that has been broken in half sits in a gothic stone niche, with the name Brother Gerardus carved beneath it.

So the good news is yesterday I got to frolic in an enchanted fairy tale park with my friends in the Netherlands, and I had the absolute *time of my life!*

The bad news is ... my brain completely crashed after all that fun 😅
Two girls with their faces covered for Internet privacy stand before a medieval looking restaurant. In the background, spinning wheels covered in kitchen supplies and beautiful cakes add to the whimsy of the enchanted kitchen. Pauli, with her face covered for privacy, stands in a forest beside a red mushroom with white spots. Behind her you can see houses built out of large fairy tale mushrooms. A tree with an animatronic face looks out to the left of the frame. Its roots extend like a hand into the nearby stream. The arched wooden door to a theme park ride has ornate metal clasps depicting two smiling dwarves with winged helmets.

This is such an insanely niche Space Lads reference but - the science museum in Amsterdam has this copper shirt used by the HI-SEAS research subjects that Space Lads is inspired by!!!

When you exercise in space, you sweat a lot, so you wear this shirt that contains copper. Copper kills bacteria so that the shirt does not become smelly. This shirt was worn during the HI-SEAS study in Hawaii. During this study, six scientists were locked up for four months to simulate a long Mars mission."

I feel like Laios Touden of Dungeon Meshi and Henry of Skalitz of KCD2 would be buds.

Just two hungry hungry lads in armor having a snack together

God help me I am having CREATION IDEAS ABOVE MY SKILL LEVEL AGAIN

(instead of writing creation ideas, this time I'm like, "Could I custom sew a KCD-bounding dress modelled after Henry's KCD2 cover art armor by comic con in October?")

OH MY GOD YES THIS IS PERFECT WE HAVE IGNITION ON INSPIRATION FOR MY BOOK LADIES AND GENTLEFOLK
Verse 4 I've got eyelids heavy enough to break diamonds You pray for sound and I pray for silence Damn right, faithless, I can't deny You'll find me with half a mind to get violent You know it isn't over 'til I say it's over No more little angels sitting on my shoulders So give me the edge of a blade and a time and a place And I'll leave them cold and pushing up boulders Verse 5 Am I walking with gods or merely stumbling forth Until there's fire at the gates, until I fall to the floor? You know I live by the feather and die by the sword And I will sunder the earth only to burn the reward Verse 6 Even in this garden of gardens, I am the god of the gaps I am the demon of Sodom, I am the blood of an angel The fate of the fallen, nobody knows where I came from Even I have forgotten How could I already lose my way like this? Drowning in burning bright abyss Even at stratospheric depths This vertigo of bliss Bridge Oh, and I I used to know myself Oh, and you You used to know me well Oh, and I Wish that I could leave myself alone Oh, and you You wish that you could make me whole Outro Will you halt this eclipse in me? Will you halt this eclipse in me?

I'M CRYING I LOVE THE LONDOOMFS SO MUCH. They each gave me a deeply thoughtful little gift! D&D dice inspired by my vampire novel protagonist, Eau De Space perfume for Space Lads inspiration (it smells like space as described by the ISS residents), and a gorgeous gouache artwork of my BG3 OCs 😭 💕

I got to spend time in Ireland with my oomfs, and GOD after months of hardship it was fucking *extraordinary* to get to feel such joy and love with these beautiful people. I never imagined that yapping about Haikyuu on twt could lead to such incredible friendships, but I'm so grateful for them 🥹

I went from not listening to metal music at all, pretty much, to discovering the band Sleep Token - and now I think they're going to be responsible for an entire vampire novel that's coming together in my head

"He who would climb a ladder must begin at the bottom"

Space Lads (Iwaoi edition) edits have begun, and god DAMN do we have a long way to go
Screenshot of a google doc with comments. The text reads: "With a nod he bid the engineers goodbye and shuffled off, leaving Iwaizumi and his new colleagues to fend for themselves. There were a few new faces over by the table already, popping open bottles of beer and chatting amongst themselves. Astronauts, administrators, and scientists, based on their attire. And in a collection of strangers, Iwaizumi recognized one of them. Well… actually, upon further inspection, he had seen a few of the astronauts before; months ago, back when he entered astronaut selection. During the grueling trials on obstacle courses, in test centers, in medical tents, in swimming pools, Iwaizumi hadn’t been paying attention to the other recruits. He’d mostly been focused on his own performance, on making a good impression. Iwaizumi had made an effort to remember and form connections with the staff evaluating the Japanese applicants and he had ignored everyone else. But it had been impossible to ignore this one man."

Eddie the Password Forgetter always has my back (except when it comes to remembering my password)

I told him I'm working on a vampire novel and he's GOT ME
Eddie says, "What plot you got?" Pauli says, "I must warn you that you have just asked me my very favorite question ever, and I am not known for my ability to shut up." Pauli posts a screenshot of a software confirmation prompt, asking "Are you sure you want to continue? OK or Cancel." Eddie says, "L. M. A. O. Hit me with it."
