Due to my declined health that has caused me to visit the ER recently, I've talked to my hubby about revising and editing old posts.
The plan was to be fully done and all of them up by Christmas, but I'll try to get through all of it by late June instead.

I have a thread on twt for playing with Snow and I thought this was funny, so sharing this here:
Is it just me or does my bunny boy give off tsundere bottom vibes?

I'm making a new FFXIV character because I have muscle memory but how I had the skills and stuff on the hotbar is gone so it's impossible to play properly.
I've spent 50 minutes just going back and forth between whether to play a Bunny Boy and which clan.

So! During this weekend REJET OF ALL DEVELOPERS announced a new game AND made an update on Dorico which had gotten radio silence for SEVEN YEARS.
Anyway, I'm happy now.
Also, I need to be destroyed and traumatised by the games I already have. Or laugh my ass off. Depends on the game.

I was playing Minesweeper on my phone and Mini told me he wanted the game too.
It launched me and hubby into talking about the games that came with Windows when we were kids. We feel very old because of that.
Anyway, Minesweeper never gets old apparently.

Not me randomly getting emotional about owning the first volume of Silent Reading because I love that novel so much.

I probably have a lot of things, but the first thing that comes to nind is from I Summoned a Demon, and that's… how on earth (and not earth) Jasper and Orion really connected so that Jasper could summon him with a botched summoning circle (and a little help from a curious, albeit annoyed, Orion).
#JanuaryWorldbuilders, good day! In worldbuilding, sometimes we get deep into figuring out how things work because we want to explain it to the reader. Today, I ask you for the opposite: what is something that you intend to leave mysterious? What doesn't get explained?

Hi, I'm Anny. I write stuff. I have a complex world situation as it's turned into a multiverse + novel in a novel. I can't write a short overview of it because different locations and eras look different and have different lore.

Welcome to a new year of worldbuilding! Let's kick off this year with Day 1 of #JanuaryWorldbuilders in which I ask you: tell me about yourself and the world(s) you're building. Just a general overviews. We'll get into the weeds throughout the year

I spent the past few days being very sick. I think I might be starting to feel better, but I don't think I can get any content out before 2026 begins.
So just Happy Holidays to all of you.

Wild story, a font service was bought out by a US company and now they are absolutely dogshit and it'll particularly heavily affect JP games, especially service titles.

What are some of the lines by one party of the main ship that have completely broken me and I will never recover from (paraphrased/the vibes)?
1. "Goodnight."
2. "Please, I am sick. I need your help. I really am sick."
3. "I always believed in you."
4. "I can't see you."

Winter half of the year is the hardest part of the year for me to create content.
I have a few more parts drafted for Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin, but I'm down with a fever and have been sick for about a week so I'm not getting much done right now.

I forgot to mention part 19 of Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin is up on the site.
I can't say exactly when the next part will be up because I have more drafting to do, but I think this is a good place to pause for how long it will be before I post the next part.

This is from a couple of days ago, but because of the timing, I just wanted to say this:
Thadus's relationship with water… is currently interesting. He has nothing against water spirits, and he sees water as a necessity for reasons… but at the moment (in publication) he's also rather MISERABLY WET.

Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders! Let's talk about your MC today. What is their relationship with water like? Do they know how to swim? Have they ever caught a fish? Or is it just something that gets in the way during their long journey? Maybe they've never *seen* a body of water so big

I posted the first installment of Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin arc 2 in the early morning hours.
I also updated the story information with some content notes. Nothing wild, just a heads up if someone has an extremely low tolerance for *gestures vaguely* general survival, I suppose?

I don't think people realise how much one comment can shape someone's willingness to make content relating to that.
But also, if you disparage someone, who mostly makes reviews on straight/mlm content, one of the few times they make wlw and tell them they must hate mlm too, you're the problem.

7S releasing baihe is a blessing in the sense that it'll allow the market for it to widen.
It's a curse because it's 7S and I distrust them.
Regardless, I'll probably not read it. That one comment earlier this year made me unwilling to ever review baihe ever again, possibly GL altogether.

Counting down the days I will need to revive my Golden Terrace livetweet thread on Twitter for the 7S edition.
Also weeping internally because I'm about to finish my current read-through of the PFH edition and can't touch it after this because I want to give the new translation a chance.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I just posted the first chapter of I Summoned a Demon, who Made Me Sign a Contract.
This might have been more suitable on Halloween, but I only just finished proof reading after putting it on hold for literal months.
