I like the lunar event in #thatskygame. It's a moment of thought and calm (and bunnies) before the chaos of Days of Mischief.

The addition of the pavilion and memorial lanterns was a nice touch.

A floating lantern during the Lunar event in Sky: Children of the Light, intended to carry a message to a missed loved one.
It reads: "Grandpa, and Papa: She's 13 now. I wish you two were here to see the wonderful, compassionate, kind human she's becoming. I'm not the best parent, but I want to do you two proud. I love you. I miss you." It is signed with a single alembic emoji.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

You two are talking about two different things. Mady isn't saying the guy is good in any sense, they are specifically referring to the integrity of the information being provided. There is still time, and reporting on it as if it's a done deal discourages people from calling in to pressure the guy.

TL;DR: My partner is stuck in an abusive job and can't quit because his work insurance is the only reason we can afford my meds, so I'm preparing a doodle drive with the goal of covering my meds long enough for him to switch jobs.
Not yet, but soon. Details:

These grapes, I shit you not, taste like strawberries.
Like, I'm serious. I even gave one to Cat and she tastes it.
He says this kind can only be bought at the end of the season, so I assume they have stupidly high sugar content because of the colder weather.
I'm in heaven!!

Indulged today and had the last of the white rice drizzled with maple syrup.

6/10; Decent utilization of leftover condiments. Bit dry after a few hours, though.

Seeing as how I've eaten nothing but cereal and school-snack-packs of bear paw cookies for 3 days straight I should probably get that commission post up and running.

I'm trying to get my setup somewhat less of a fire hazard. My hands ache. :<

A pen doodle: "CABLE MGMT DAY", with a small "s" added in brackets next to it implying the task has taken multiple days so far.
Below, chibi heads of Elixir and Faranae have tired expressions. Elixir asks "Yay?", and Fara replies "Yay." They are tired.
The bottom of the page cuts off, but features a crudely-drawn diagram of a desk clamp.

Oh, and the Homestuck animated pilot dropped on my kid's 13th birthday. What is it with videogame-related coincidences and this child's life milestones?

Fara @faranae.bsky.social · 12d

Hosted 3+1 boisterous teenagers for my kid's b-day sleepover last night.

Turned the group of "do we have to watch the cartoon?"s into "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S ONLY ONE EPISODE"s with the Knights of Guinevere pilot. Life is good.

These are all FANTASTIC films! '88 Beetlejuice is my annual Halloween go-to, a sort of tradition since I was around 6.

You've reminded me I managed to find a DVD copy of Scooby Doo on Zombie Island last year and the kiddo and I never got around to watching it. Gonna remedy that this year!

My uncle chose MAID not long ago. It's a stressful process. I have nothing but respect for Munsch's choice.

I will be sad when he is gone. But I am more sad now, knowing that his condition has been bad enough for MAID to be on the table at all, let alone approved.

I'll like you for always, sir.

Fara @faranae.bsky.social · 24d

Robert Munsch, a beloved Canadian author of children's books, has chosen to defy his dementia and Parkinson's diagnoses and die with dignity using MAID (medically assisted death).

His books were my childhood, and my baby sister's 9 years later. My now-teen read them, and soon so will my niblings.

Nana collapsed after she got home from Grandpa's funeral 2 weeks ago.

She was found after a few days, and sent to the hospital. She's okay now, but this has been an absolute nightmare.

I just want a return to normalcy... I'm quite sick of grieving, thank you very much.

bonus comics:

4 panel comic

P1: a right hand draws a wavy stroke on a sketchbook page. A caption box up top reads "draw"

P2: the word "CREATE" dominates a panel with a black background, forming in the negative space. Various small shapes surround it.

P3: a lone simplified humanoid figure is on the bottom right of a another panel with a black background. A thought bubble forms above their head, the words "if not for others, then at least for yourself" within.

P4: The Earth dominates the bottom of the panel, with a sliver of space above it. Clouds swirl and boil across the Earth, which is the only element on the entire page coloured a pink-red. A caption box above reads "now, more than ever"

Finally had grandpa's burial, after 5 months. Made it real.

When I was at my lowest as a little kid, he'd steal me away for a few days if things at home got too intense. He tried his hardest to give me a dose of humanity when I felt like property.

He's the reason I kept my name.

So Skykids, what are your thoughts on that extra scene at the end of tonight's live screening of The Two Embers? Nice of them to give us a peek at the Dawn Ember now that Dusk's story is over. #skycotl #thatskygame

(Also, does this confirm that the child from the Steam launch trailer is Dawn?)

You too? Congrats!! My past 2 lottos, the winner was the number immediately after mine. It was pain, lmao. This week Balmung made up for it!

(Now I stare blankly at the interior wondering what to do with it; A literal decade of "if I had a house" ideas, and of course I can't remember any of them.)

I really do live in a world where my friend can draw fan art for the cult my daughter leads and that's just-- A thing. That's just a thing that can happen.

As reluctant as I was to let Cat have a Discord account, I must admit that being in her group chats has its advantages.

A message sent in a Discord group chat:
If any of y'all are in range of my spawn, can they remind her she was supposed to check in half an hour ago? [SAD EMOJI]
[In tiny text:] I really have to get her a SIM...
[In bold text:] Edit: SPAWN LOCATED.

At 71, voice actor James Carter Cathcart (also known in the early days by Jimmy Zoppi) has passed away.

I'm sad now. :( So many iconic voices. Meowth, James, Prof Oak, Vector the Croc, Maeno...
