Good Malenia Morning

today’s wordle was a “EUREKA” moment on the final guess

colored sketch of the towering Tengu, hand at the ready on his katana, stands before a rough shinobi in his old tattered rob from childhood, and commands, "Tell me your name!" The shinobi is silent. The tengu continues: "No name to give? You shinobi are all the same. You die nameless, with no one to mourn you. However...Your left arm. A prosthetic shinobi arm, it reminds me of... That's it... a one-armed Wolf. I like it! Which means...Sekiro. This is what I shall name you.

it's been 7 years since Sekiro's release and while I only played the game for the first time a not so long ago, using this anniversary as an excuse to finish a piece of my favorite moment in the game ߹𖥦߹

I’m really excited to catch up. The violence and overall grimness may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Volume 9 was the most painful but also my favourite.

To clarify- not super scary to ME.

I absolutely ADORED this novella. Such an interesting reworking of a classic fairytale. This earned 5 stars from me and a spot on my favourites shelf on storygraph

The title page of Carmilla.

Started off strong with Carmilla - Sheridan le Fanu.
Eerie and captivating, I do wish it was longer, especially the ending which felt a bit abrupt.
