Weekly Update - 277 - 6/30/25
🕑 Added 2025-06-30 21:41:44 +0000 UTCLast week was a lot. The good news is they FINALLY seem to be on to something with the husband's medical issues and it's also probably something treatable. Again, it wasn't anything life-threatening but it's baffled no shortage of doctors over several years now and whatever it is (we know now probably nerve/spine related) it's affecting his QoL quite a bit, so getting it treated would be amazing! Any promising new leads on that front is very good news!
Anyway. When we got back from all the stuffs I felt this intense need to draw my moss piglet-brained foxcatbatmew chimera thingy and make her part dragon too, so I did! I haven't talked about this creature a lot, largely because I've been worried that if I define her too firmly, it will remove her from what she's meant to represent, but I feel like I might have finally found an angle I can lean more into that won't also restrict or diminish her.
To simplify what she ACTUALLY is, apart from being just a nonsensical foxcatbatmewdragonchimera puree, I'm thinking of just calling her a Kakuyou (描妖) Which, by my understanding, is a made-up term that might express her nature of being like a drawn/painted/sketched spirit/being. Fitting, I feel, and maybe even a little meta, given that she exists only in art. So if she's a spirit that can exist only when drawn, then maybe drawing her is where she gets her power? There's also some youkai themes I might lean into a bit more with her too, simply because I am granting myself the freedom to do so. Dunno! It's all just a silly thought train I've been riding for only a few days -- in the end it all gives me a reason to want to draw her more often!
Why is she chained up? Why is she so pissed off? Why is she wearing a bell? And why is Pyre eating her own hand?
Why not?
Comics this week?
God Slayers - Yeah maybe!
Solipsus - Yeah sure!
Given that I skipped last week, despite a pretty valid excuse, I feel like I owe it to y'all to deliver THIS week. So I shall try!
Also new Rimworld DLC coming July 11th! Excited!
