Break

There's a lot I want to write about and things I want to do but I'm just not in the best state of mind right now. I need to let myself heal or let the medicine kick in before I can start writing again. I know that I'm giving up time but it's important that I fix myself or I'll spiral into a hole again. So, for now, I'm taking a small break from writing. I'll still try to post here but writing my Cain story is going to have to wait until I can do it without beating myself up.

Finishing The King in Yellow: The Prophets' Paradise

The final story in Chamber's collection that has any connection to the King in Yellow. This story is made up of very short parts or chapters listed as: The Studio, The Phantom, The Sacrifice, Destiny, The Throng, The Jester, The Green Room, and The Love Test. I see a pattern of each story in Chamber's story of the themes around the King wanning away with each entry. This collection has the bare bones of what could be considered a reference.  For example, The Green Room mentions a character with a powdered face. This could be similar to a pale mask. But the analogies are so thin here that it's difficult to draw connections.

Silksong Thoughts

I've completed the first Hollow Knight about four years ago. I was going to replay it but then forgot all the deaths and headaches the game gave me. It's not a bad game, if anything, it's an amazing game. But jumping through hoops all over again with no guidance isn't what I would call a fun time for the second round. This new game feels like Super Mario Bros. The Lost Worlds. America never got the true edition of Super Mario Bros. 2. Instead, we got a reskin of Doki Doki Panic with Mario characters plastered on. And this was done for a good reason: Super Mario Bros. 2 The Lost Worlds suck. There's never been such a spike in difficulty between games in a series before or since. You are expected to make calculations based on the sudden change in wind to time your jumps, navigate ice-covered platforms and take on suped up enemies. This is how Silk Song feels to me. It's like the developers said, "You dared to beat the most difficult challenges in Hollow Knigh...

Life in School

Lovecraft never finished school. From what I can tell he never went to college. After suffering a seizure at school (possibly related to his father's possible std) he never went back. It seems like school was tough on Lovecraft, except for subjects he enjoyed. I've seen smart people flunk out of school or college. I could argue about the issues with our system but through some miracle, I, an autistic individual, made through it. I feel a kinship there with Lovecraft. I know how hazard the school system can be even today. It's a wonder i made it but if I were to offer some encouragement to anyone reading, if I can make it so can you.
