that happened to us i believe and we thought we oops’d ourselves in the process but we managed to make it in time with a good deal of time leftover to complete the game. so just keep going and unlock as much as possible, never know if you start a domino effect.
Game cover image for The Sēance of Blake Manor. The style is that of a Gothic graphic novel. In the background, there is an imposing grey manor house with a full moon above it. The clouds that are wrapped around the moon resemble a skull with the moon being one glowing eye. In the foreground, a man dressed in somber 1890s attire is looking at a piece of paper for clues. Behind him, there is a looming rock bearing a sigil. All rights to this image belong to Spooky Doorway and/or Raw Fury, but I thought you'd like to see it.
Eldest and I are playing The Séance of Blake Manor, and the world-building and available historical and topical information is just staggering. It's like wading into what you think is a shallow lake only to step off a ledge and sink 20 feet.
I'm still not entirely sure what form the antagonist is.
there’s sooooo much offered in this game that i adored and easily spent so much time on and with doing. glad to see more recognition of this game. 💕
[cw: discussions of death, family death, grief]
finding myself grieving again 8 years after the last close death to me has been a bit of a whiplash. especially finding out about one estranged grandparent followed by the other i have been a caregiver to for two decades hit hard. 💔
this has been a sad month for me. 💔
haven’t been able to write much this month due to several factors is deeply frustrating.
having to take a deep breath whenever something else hits you to keep going is something.
will miss you on there but totally understand. just means have to be a bit more active on here now. 🫂💕

been too chaotic and exhausting this week so far to do much progress writing wise but going to see if i can. still want to get this backlog done with so i can feel comfortable with working on my original writing projects again. #amwritingkinda
re-listening to starcraft ost takes me back to 1998 and the nostalgia of it all.
forgot to mention that the second and third chapters are now posted. regarding the third one, mixed up the chapter titles so had to do some plot recalibrating before finishing it. 🫠🙌🥀
ICE must not be allowed in Toronto.
They’ve kidnapped Canadians.
They’re currently holding a 7 year old autistic Canadian girl in one of the camps.
Boycott all World Cup games happening in the US, and demand ICE stay out of Canada.
hope you were able to find it again, that’s the unfortunate timing of things! 🥲
been wanting to write but in a weird state of unrest and can’t get comfortable enough to bother it seems. 😔 #amwritingkinda
slowly writing pieces and thoughts into personal essays have been a nice place to impart some considerations i wish i had the chance to speak more on, but often it comes much later after the matter has long passed.
lowkey how one starts a memoir of sorts, or something similar.
I’ve watched disability policy get debated like it’s theoretical while it dictates whether people can eat, rest, or survive.
when you realize a title was mixed up with another or isn’t as fitting to the written content of a fic…
yup, just had that. 🥲
i love how vast and ranged genres can take you for stories, understandings, and learnings.
when you update to post two new fics only for ao3 to be on the fritz again lol.
been building up writing more and more, but it definitely takes time to rebuild the writing pace i used to be at. but hoping it continues to be built. and will become something again. #amwritingkinda
It’s been six years since Covid was declared a global pandemic.
Most people moved on years ago.
Decided to go “back to normal” whether it was safe or not.
They left people like me by the wayside.
They abandoned the vulnerable.
They embraced the comfortable lie.
i feel like in a world that is constantly on the go and prides on the value of productive worth…taking your time and taking space for yourself is *so* important.
coming back, coming back, come back to me…
yeah, i had an unfortunate reaction to a raw apple and finally looked into it further and was like ???????? 🥲
discovering the troubles of having a birch pollen allergy and then finding out about pollen foods a year afterwards than being told has been a trip and a half.
tldr: allergists you should tell someone to check into all the details about an allergy rather than just stating be careful being outside…
they’re so fascinating to consider, like the centuries they’ve existed through!
an isekai-like inspired tribute story has always been on my list to write someday. maybe soon. once i have a better idea and finally written some stuff i already still have to write. 🥲
thinking about escaflowne again and how much i adore the earlier isekais that were more shoujou centric than what it’s become today.
a whole mood and a half.
