Do you ever just do research for a novel you’re working on and just… get lost in the aether?

First I wanted to use alchemy symbols for the magic but realised alchemy went out of fashion before a lot of the scientific concepts my magic uses were invented, so I’d have to invent old style alchemy symbols to fill the gaps in scientific development! I’d literally be reinventing the periodic table!

Then I was looking at submarine concepts on how the design of the magical submarine would work and ended up on some scifi royal navy concept vessel that used zero point energy.
Crazy!

I need to stop worldbuilding and eventually write one day.
Also casual plug that you should check out the art of the main heroine I commissioned!

I got reminded of the wonders of British television today.
Such creations as:
Merlin.
Leonardo.
Atlantis.

I wish Atlantis had a bit longer to find its footing, it would have been a worthy successor to Merlin I think.
Well no point wondering about what ifs.
Sometimes things just don’t work.

So I commissioned some art of my novels character.
And it’s almost done. In fact maybe when this goes live it will be done.
Or maybe it won’t be.
It is however just a matter of days before completion!

That’s why you should join the discord so you can see her in all her beauty!
It has armpits! It has thighs! She is…. commando?
Look there’s a lot to unpack so just join the discord.

Realist Hero started airing today.
Overall the anime seems a pretty strong adaptation so far and a decent introduction. First episodes can be hit and miss though so I won’t judge it yet.
I did have two nitpicks.
The first is Liscia’s introduction is changed, in the novels and manga the room is more busy and it takes a while for them to introduce themselves.
The second is that the final line of the episode is different, likely do to the translator, but originally it was closer to “you can’t fill an empty stomach with patriotism”.

Anyway, nothing bad about it. Actually on the plus side Roroa is cuter in fact.

So since this is a game about MMOs let us talk about MMOs!
Asmongold, a big time WoWhead started playing Final Fantasy XIV today.
I watched the entire stream.
It was incredibly frustrating at times but that happens when you have over 100,000 backseaters.

It peaked at over 200,000 and apparently he got like 5000 new subscribers in that one stream.
Man playing a rival game is like the best of both worlds, you get two fanbases checking in.

So this chapter originally translated Edinburgh as Edenborough.
I was considering leaving it as is because this is a fictional setting, but after checking on all the other names which are 1:1 to their real world counterparts I corrected this five minutes before scheduling.
If a couple of Edens slipped by in previous or future chapters please shout, but I’ll do my best to avoid that.

Now enjoy the chapter, also I should probably check the previous quickly.
So glad find and replace exists.

I bought a feather duster the other day to try and deal with my recurring spider problem lately.
My parents think I have become enamoured with it.
I mean it’s cool!
It’s suuuuper fluffy. And the handle extends so far that it is actually taller than me!

Did I mention how fluffy it is?

Great fun!
