glitteringstarsCelebi underskirt is a bit behind schedule, but that's because my depression started kicking my ass. I have added some extra strips to the ruffle part of the skirt, and I love how it looks! Originally, I was bumping it up to 3x the width, but I defaulted to 4x because I'm a lazy bastard. It now has that extra poof I was hoping for without resorting to doing two layers. It's not quite historically accurate, but I'm cosplaying an humanoid interpretation of a little sentient onion, so there's that.
Otherwise, weather has been funky, which I don't think has helped my mental health. I'm trying to curb a bit of my news diet to a handful of podcasts and the WTF Happened Today newsletter, but it's still hard to not feel like I'm going crazy.
I'm coping with playing through Act 3 of Baldur's Gate and reading a new book called That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming. I've had my eye set on her books because of a Smart Bitches Trashy Podcast episode where Sarah interviewed Lemming, and she just sounded like such a goddamn delight. It wasn't until the second interview that I remembered I had a copy of one of her books. I'm not as thrilled with some of the dialogue choices (usage of "sus" threw me off) for a high fantasy, but the light mood and interesting worldbuilding at least makes it feel less jarring when things start rolling. I'm still absolutely fucking delighted by the opening scene where Cin is in want of cheese, and how spices are very essential for a grand goddess-killing quest (she is right, goddamn it).
Baldur's Gate 3-wise, I'm still just working through my first playing through as Origin Shadowheart. I've dabbled a bit in BG1E, so seeing familiar names like Saevorak and Candlekeep and whatnot is just funny. I'll probably have more thoughts once I finish my first playthrough. Debating on doing a Wild Magic!Dark Urge or playing Origin Wyll or Lae'zel. Or secret third option where I play best girl Karlach.
