Also, I haven't whistled on a blade of grass in years. That takes me back!

He finally came home! I'm over the moon with this! 🥹 🎉

I've been a bit down tonight, but I've poured my energies into writing instead. Got the first part of something new done!

But now, I've got to turn in. It's Monday tomorrow, and I'm not facing that one tired. See you tomorrow!

#olberusweek Day 7 - free day
The return of the merfolk au 🐟🦈!!
So for this (really overdue) piece I had my friend scootbutt coloring the lineart I made. So it’s a collab piece (and as you can see they’re absurdly talented)

Cozy is good! In fact, I'll be going back to bed myself soon.

It's the best place to be on cold days.🙂

Wishing you the energy and strength you need to leave it when duty calls!

There we go! A new Coffee Corner AU fic from me! This time featuring a special customer in the shape of Sazantos...

There's no drama here whatsoever - just lots of fluff. 🙂

Just set up an account on Stoat, because it's always good to have backups. Discord's made some 'decisions' of late, so if the service is unreachable for any reason, I have something similar in Stoat to go to.

It's finally sunny today! It's been raining off and on for the last 3 weeks more or less constantly, so it's amazing to see the sun. 😌

オクトラ大陸の覇者／リネット

I feel like my confidence is getting a little better. It's still a bit fragile, and I'm still taking my time with everything, but... it's a good sign.

I'm finding this lvl120 NPC in Ryu so difficult... I'll get there one day, but today is not that day!

Why are the bonus battles in Side Solistia so tough in the later chapters!

All of you also MUST see how glorious Sazantos is in @fiveonthe.bsky.social 's artstyle.. *twirls hair* 😳👀🧡

An account left a spam comment on my fic, so I reported it late last night.

I got an email back from AO3 this morning saying that it was being dealt with. That's really satisfying. 🙂

Nearly midday, and I can have a bit of a break. CotC has been interesting, though - I didn't realise the cascade rewards had reset, and they've got some nice prizes in there this time, too: 2 veteran's seals, 90 rubies, lots of traveller's seals...

Definitely worth the effort. 🙂

Today's the busiest day of the week, and honestly, my mood could be better. I can't wait til tomorrow.

Screenshot from Ellipsus, suggesting I change the word Octopath to Sociopath.

Ellipsus, no! 😅

800 kudos on AO3 - that's another milestone I never thought I'd reach! 🎉

Honestly, I'm just really grateful for everyone who reads my stories. They make this old nerd smile so much. 🥰

It is! It's been on sale a couple of times, but I don't know if it is right now, though.

That's the one with friendship/affection points as well as so many different minigames... and 99 sub-endings depending on which characters you recruit. The older games were so good for that!

I thought you might like him! He's definitely one of the more interesting characters in the game (of an alien race with 3 eyes, uses a whip in combat, academic who explores ruins for fun).

I just talked myself into replaying it to get him now.😅

Screenshot of Star Ocean 2R's Ernest.

I want both him and Ashton on my team, but you can only pick one... Ashton's been one of my favourites for over 20 years now.

I think it's time for Ernest. Ashton will always be in my other save files. 🙂

Debating whether to continue with my replay of Octopath 0, or start a new playthrough for Star Ocean 2R. There are still characters I haven't unlocked in that game, too. Looking at you, Ernest.

Maybe it's time to go back to that vast ocean of stars...
