3 Good Things 11

I went over to my folk's place today and got ALOT done. I closed my old bank account because they accidentally put my folk's money in my account. We figered this was the last nail in the coffin and decided now was a good time to cut ties with them. After a half hour and three people, we were able to get me off their program. After that, I helped out around the house. I did everything they asked and didn't complain, which I'm counting as a win. I picked up old fencing, trimmed a tree branch, fixed the rocks in the "fish tank" and planted all the plants. Dad was a little sick due to his medicine and I could tell he wasn't happy, but he kept it to himself. I wish he'd complain to me a bit because I want to help him. I want to help out more around the house because both my folks need the help. I'm glad I have them and I love them alot. Today made me realize that which is another win in my book. I asked God and he finally gave me another step to take with my story. The next stage or threat for the characters is the bad guys I created called the Neo Mortalists. I'm thinking about killing off each character until it's just Abe and Lilly. That would make more sense to me, like their philosophies are being tested with each death. I also got up at six today which is another win. Several wins today. I plan on writing for an hour or two tomorrow. I feel better but I still think I need more meds to fix my issues.

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.

The Yellow Sign

I've made a breakthrough. You've likely heard of the Yellow Sign, a common trope in the King in Yellow and Lovecraft universe. Artists have designated it as a symbol. Specifically, it looks like an askew question mark with extra appendages. But the phrase is wrong. It's not Yellow sign but Yellow signs. The King is described as a figure in a pallid mask and tattered yellow robes but Yellow and White make their presence throughout the stories. Case in point, the current story I'm reading, The Street of the Four Winds describes a cat with yellow eyes that licks a marble bowl clean. The yellow eyes are an obvious nod but the marble bowl is white. White like a mask.  If we go back further into the story The Prophet's Paradise, we see a clown that marvels at his own pale mask. He then turns to death and who asks who has a paler mask than death.  Again, we see the symbolism of white and pale. The King's presence us there. I think that the sign is not a central concept...

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...
