New MAW SOCKS in the store!
Hi everyone! We wanted to give patrons the first heads up-- we finally made the Maw socks that we've been dreaming of for years! It's a repeating pattern of maws in various poses-- a pattern that would look nice between your shoe and the hem of your pant leg!Tomorrow we'll be sharing these with our readers over on the main site, but patrons get dibs! Thanks so much for your support!

Tarnished needs a different job (84)
I've been spending my evening Elden Ring time trying to avoid really difficult endgame areas, and instead have been getting completely demolished in previously unexplored difficult mid-game areas, which has been somehow more exciting β¨

Between me and Ananth, we've agreed that Percy has been spending her entire journey around The Lands Between looking for moisturizer, good luck to her ππ

The imps got their own "plot relevant" area!!!!! I was so proud of them!!! It honestly made me really happy to see them be acknowledged by a quest!(*for reference since this is an optional area: this is in the unlockable western area of the mountaintops of the giants)

A lot of people were telling me this was a fun gimmick fight - it still took like 2 hours for me to do this one lol!!! I guess it was partially because I insisted on finishing it with the imps, who don't do well with lava - they were troopers!!!!

FINALLY went back to finish up all the requests at Volcano Manor and came to the conclusion I didn't want to do Patches' homework for him lolApparently Patches is a legacy character who appears in most other Fromsoft games-- but I've never played other Fromsoft games! But I actually liked Patches a lot, I love a good dipshit ππ

The pit crew of summons has solidified themselves into two groups: "reliable headless ladies" and "goblin" π

One evening I sat down to do a "not trying" joke run of the Fire Giant, cast scarlet rot on him and ran around on my horsey until he died, WHOOPS, very anticlimactic.

THANK YOU TICHE, THE SCARY BABYBIRD KEPT ON FREEZING ME TO DEATH

After throwing myself at the wall of Optional Boss, I finally looked up a cheat for killing Alecto: Black Knife Ringleader and unlocked her daughter Tiche as summon!!!!Tiche's whole thing is like, she's supposed to be one of the best summons in the game but also I just killed her mom?? This is her flavor text:"Tiche was one of the assassins who, on the night of the plot,imbued her black knife with the Rune of Death and slew Godwynthe Golden. She was the daughter of the Black Knife Ringleader,Alecto, and was killed protecting her mot...

Crab Boil Guy (Blackguard Big Boggart) is actually one of my favorite NPCs, I've been actively avoiding [spoiler] in order to make sure he gets out of Percy's playthrough alive. He's super hard to find in the latter half of the game and I died like three times trying to get to his location. All for you, Crab Guy

Found a Worm Face forest!!!!!! I have no idea what their problem is but I don't like killing them, they seem like a bunch of very depressed cursed dudes. Take care, weirdos π

I realized we'd missed like 50% of all potential Alexander interactions and just finally looked him up online. FOR A GIGANTIC SENTIENT JAR HE'S VERY ILLUSIVE!!!!Anyway I had to kill another dragon in order to hang out with Alexander for a bit, but also Fire Wyrms are more like big bipedal lizards with swords than dragons so...????

this was probably the hardest/my least favorite fight of the game so far!!! I didn't care for it!!!!!!!!!!!!! A bunch of our friends were like, "oh this was so much fun, I really enjoyed that one"! I am not good at video games!!!!anyway we did it!!!π
BACK FROM ALA!!!!
WE'VE RETURNED FROM ALA!!! IT WAS GOOD BUT VERY TIRING!!!!I don't know if "4-day convention" is something I have the stamina for anymore?? But if you need to go to a non-fandom trade show and also you're a professional in the publishing/librarian space, ALA (American Library Association Convention) is a really nice show. Also librarians are generally very civic-minded people who believe in rules for social betterment (like masking lol)Anyway I didn't have a lot of down time during the weekend but here's some doodles ...
be back soon ~ ~
See you next week! π―ββοΈπ
