Girls Night In The Ancient Tomb And We Know Fuck All

Admittedly I have been getting more silly with chapter titles recently, but I'm not sure I could quite get away with using this one for the actual update.

No matter how much I want to...

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.

there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.

there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.

doing nothing is good for my soul.

i am not defined by what i produce.

my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.

i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.

i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.

Going to be a slight delay on the next chapter, I'm afraid- I'd had something of a light headache the past few days that's made it difficult to focus on things, and I haven't been sleeping too well, so I'm aiming for the 30th of this month instead- hopefully, I should feel better by then.

And, hopefully, there shouldn't be egregious delays moving forward- after the next chapter we will be moving firmly out of the set-up period and into the proper meat, which should, fingers crossed, excite me enough to write to power through any body pain distractions.

i call this category: bitch

I'm going to *remembers suicide is often not a desire for death itself but rather an attempt to radically change one's life because the current state of being has become unbearable but the person can't think of any way to change it other than death* kill myself

I made Klearrhishkminal in the game for fun a while ago, so I thought I ought to share her so you could all see why Turmeric was (and still is) so enamored with her. I mean, look at her, she's gorgeous!

She's a pretty important character for someone who's literally been dead the whole time- or at least, I like to think so, I hope that impression comes across. She is the entire reason for Turmeric, well, being called Turmeric for starters.

As a reminder, she is bronze and definitely not brass - if you think you've ever seen me describe her (or Ansur!) as that because they're similar words and I forgot to check and got confused, no you didn't, that never happened. Because then Turmeric's whole character quirk of having a fondness for lightning spells because her last girlfriend had lightning breath wouldn't make sense and nobody would pick up on it! (I do hope some people have picked up on that, it's a subtle little thing, but it's there. (because we carry those we love with us, long after they're gone, after all))

i’ll be chillin and then all of a sudden i literally turn into this thing

Top-Tier Villain Motivations

They will be safe. It doesn't matter who else or what else burns as long as They will be safe.

I will be safe. The hunger and the cold will never touch me again.

Fuck any bitch who's prettier(/cooler/better-liked/better at making dumplings) than me.

Yes, Master

Love me. Love me. Love me. Love me. LOVE ME!

I know the terrible things these so-called "heroes" will do if I don't stop them (<- is absolutely wrong)

I don't want a better future, I want a better past!

No other way to get performance art funded these days

Me: damn this situation I'm in sure isn't ideal, what am I gonna do about this

Suicidal Ideation Man who lives in my brain: perhaps I have a suggestion ☝️🤓

OH MY GOD I JUST REALISED I PUT DECEMBER. I MEANT NOVEMBER. 30TH NOVEMBER. I MEANT THIS SATURDAY. TWO DAYS.

Okay, next story should definitely be out on the 30th December.

I've gotten the plot planned out to a point where I'm starting to overthink really tiny details, which I think means I'm ready to start writing it out in full by this point. I've already gotten the first chapter done save for a few more proof-reads, and I'm 70% done with the second, so it's go time.

30th December.

I already think I'm going to make it novel-length by accident again.
