I was originally planning to hold off on posting about chapter four of Deltarune until I'd finished the chapter, but I've rambled so much already that I think I'd better just make a post now.

I've just defeated Jackenstein, but this entry only discusses the pre-Dark-World section of Deltarune chapter four.

( Thoughts on early chapter four of Deltarune. )

Thank you guys for avoiding spoilers in your comments on my last entry! Please try not to allude to anything post-Jackenstein in any comments on this one. Hopefully I'll be finished and able to discuss things freely with you soon!

I'm already missing this game in anticipation of finishing it. But, hey, there should be new chapters to look forward to in the future! At... some point!

I've been playing Deltarune! I've replayed chapters one and two, and I've also finished the new chapter three; I haven't played the fourth chapter yet.

For the benefit of anyone who's trying to avoid spoilers, this entry has two different cuts. The first cut contains my thoughts from revisiting the first two chapters (mainly disjointed speculation, including speculation on the Snowgrave route), with no spoilers for the new material, and the second cut contains my thoughts on chapter three.

( Thoughts on the first two chapters of Deltarune. )

And now on to chapter three!

( Thoughts on chapter three of Deltarune. )

One of the most striking things about Deltarune, like Undertale before it, is how dense this game is with fun little details. It takes every opportunity to slip in a secret or a joke. You're constantly rewarded for poking around, for trying new things, for taking a second look. It's an approach that makes the world such a pleasure to explore.

I'm looking forward to playing chapter four; please try not to give anything away in the comments!

And then I disappeared again! Honestly it's probably a mix of feeling very overwhelmed by life and also feeling like I don't really have anything to share. Which isn't at all true! I have things to share! But gosh, things have also been very difficult. Bad enough that Will told me that my quality of life seems poor right now. Which is because of MH stuff. Which is why I have an appointment to be evaluated for ADHD on Wednesday.

( Feelings about a possible diagnosis, some chatting about neurodivergency and my place in that space )

So there's that. UHM. YEAH. Having a lot of feelings about that right now!

IN OTHER NEWS my tomatoes are so big and too closely planted together, but they're doing so great! And my squash patch is growing so fast too, we're gonna have so many zucks and mini-pumpkins, haha. AND I GREW THEM FROM SEED. SEED. <3

There are also, in the squash patch, a couple of pepper plants and several onions battling for space. (there's also a couple of peppers by the tomato patch, I have four pepper plants and thirteen peppers growing big!). Today's gonna be the first little harvest, I think (we've been picking peas and strawberries and munching them as we walk about the backyard, but not a full, "time to bring the fruits of our labor inside). There will be homegrown peas in the stir fry this evening! ♥ ♥ ♥

And some art I have done! Logan Grimnar, High King of Fenris, and Arjac Rockfist, the Anvil of Fenris (and Grimnar's Champion), being cozy in front of a fire. ♥

I want to spend part of today catching up on posts and maybe. I don't know. Do something.

addme

Name: Holly

Age: Mid-30s

I mostly post about: Shower-thought essays and musings, fandom, fan theories, world-building, reactions to media, drabble snippets, OC and character development, creative process, occasional IRL that's in a digestible form for the internet.

My hobbies are: Writing, art, paragraph roleplay, video games, reading, book annotation, note-taking theory, journaling, hand-sewing, crochet, knitting, playlist-building, theory-crafting, wiki-building and information management.

My fandoms are: Anything cat-related, The Elder Scrolls, Baldur's Gate 3, Dragon Age: Origins, The Legend of Zelda (Ocarina of Time → Twilight Princess), Silent Hill (1-4), The Evil Within/サイコブレイク, The Apothecary Diaries, Higurashi When They Cry, Hayao Miyazaki, anything horror by Mike Flanagan, anything by Guillermo del Toro, Asian horror, found-footage films, high-end animation.

I'm looking to meet people who: are preferrably 25+ in age, neurodivergent, share my fandoms, are open-minded and fun to talk with.

My posting schedule tends to be: Sporadic, due to fluctuating spoons and hyperfocus binges.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Anyone under 18, anyone supportive of America's current administration/MAGA/right-wing idealists, excessive political posts, crypto/AI/Tesla/entrepeneurial bros, religious evangelism or witnessing, animal cruelty, bigotry, racism, homophobes, transphobes, lore-policing, drama-llamas, unsolicited mental-health bombs (I'm your friend, not your therapist), overt neediness/attention-seeking, inebriated/intoxicated messaging, atrocious grammar and spelling (my native language is English), toxic behaviors in general.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm west-coast American (and yes, I would rather be anywhere else right now, but can't be), I'm AuDHD (progressively demasking after years of working corporate and burning out) and queer (AFAB genderfluid, pansexual; she/they pronouns). I'm 15-years-happily-married and monogamous. I'm very direct, because I would rather be honest than polite. I grew up in a household where expletives were every other word, so I hope you don't mind if I curse at times. My creative works are intended for mature audiences and are not intended for people who are easily triggered (I do try to tag accordingly, though, I'm not a monster 😅).

More of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! I've beaten the two Axons and I've just entered the Monolith.

( Spoilers for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. )

In this game, I often find myself facing a powerful enemy, failing, going 'well, this is obviously impossible' and then beating them on the second try. It's pretty satisfying!

I've started prioritising Agility to a ludicrous extent. Pouring all of my points into it, neglecting all of my other stats. It's just so useful!

addme

Name:Rafi. If you come across this post or my profile and you think "hmm, looks familiar," that's possibly because I changed my DW name several months ago. It used to be "Emerald Em."

Age:58

I mostly post about:My daily life, my writing, my disabilities, autism, mental illness, being queer, my wife, fanfic, my gender journey, chronic illness (feh!), the political reality I and my people live in

My hobbies are:writing, crocheting, studying Wicca

My fandoms are:The West Wing, Man from UNCLE, Criminal Minds, some others

I'm looking to meet people who:share similar interests,

My posting schedule tends to be:three or four times a week, sometimes more often

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: TL;DR = don't be a bigoted jackass. Longer version: no queerphobia of any kind, no Trumpers. Be open-minded. Accept my lived experience in my queer self and my disabled body and mind. I welcome respectful questions if you have them, though.

Before adding me, you should know:I don't always have the spoons* to comment on all the new posts that pop up on my reading page when I log in. But I do do my earnest best to read the posts. So I generally know what's going on with my DW friends. Also, the mini-bio in my profile is currently (as of June 14 2025) pretty short--I'm working on updating and lengthening it--so it might not tell you much. If you have questions, please ask!

I am AFAB nonbinary, and again, happy to answer respectful/curious questions. But no phobias. If you don't like it, lump it and move along.

Valley So Low: Southern Mountain Stories by Manly Wade Wellman

A collection of uncanny tales. Some are Silver John. Some feature other men who wander about and know some of the matters -- each one with his tales grouped -- and it's clear that it's one continuity, with their loosely knowing each other, with Judge Pursuivant the sage old man of their knowledge. Others are people who get mixed up in such matters and may or may not escape.

One can see how he was listed in the Appendix N as a D&D source.

Time for a dream roundup!

( Dreams from April, May and June. )

I haven't really been remembering my dreams lately; I didn't note any dreams down at all for a period of over a month from early May. I wonder what makes my recollection fluctuate. Maybe I remember my dreams less if I'm sleeping at a comfortable temperature?
