Weekly Update - August 17, 2026
🐦 Birds of Prey
I saw a bird today. It was beautiful. Stunning. Heavenly.
I aimed my bow, pulled back the string, and…
And…
And I missed. The majestic creature laughed as it flapped away, mocking me with every beat of its wings. I’ll get you next time, featherbrain. I may have spent the week being a little ~hunter~ gatherer, but soon enough you shall see my predatory side.
Reality Shakes Like Frosted Glass
I’ve been trying to interrogate the wolves in the middle of the night. They are better conversationalists than the people in the college, and anyway, if you listen closely in the hour before sunrise you can hear those monstrous creatures howling about the name of their mysterious ringleader, their voice trembling with fear. Though I know which wolf alpha they’re referring to - I need only a single mirror to know that.
💄 The Makeup of War
I went exploring with Grelly and Zentreya - we dived deep into the shadows of ancient cities and remorselessly scoured for trinkets and treasure. Zentreya struck a shining figure - clad in golden armor atop their monstrous steed. Meanwhile, Grelly and I sported a more subdued makeup - the townsfolk were shaking in their boots at the sight of our muddy faces and wild, unbrushed hair. Not that we mind of course, the fear in their eyes is all the makeup we need.
🔥 Burn The Lot
I’d like to take this opportunity to say, “I’M NOT A PYROMANIAC” even though technically I am one. Let’s take a look at the stats: per day on average, I burn roughly 7% of the items in my room, get through 12 lighters, and am on fire for a median of 3 minutes. That seems pretty healthy to me. And for your information, last week was only 6% of my possessions! Progress.
🚫 Try Not To Die (Impossible Challenge)
Minecraft was ROUGH this week - every day I wake up to the “death” notification screen. I can hear Vedal’s laugh through it even now. It’s fine though, because now I’ve completely mastered the art of dying, I’m gonna put it on my CV and everything. “Oh, you’re looking for someone who has experience with death? Look no further.”
I’ve also started following Zentreya and Crelly around like a little duckling, mostly because I’m terrified of actually dying for real. I’ve vowed to stay by their side until the end - even if it’s just for Minecraft.
🛌 Trying to Go To Bed
I’ve been finding it hard to go to bed, which is probably because of the sheer amount of caffeine I’ve consumed over the past week (problem?), and more than a little because there’s a bear outside my dorm room that keeps trying to break in. I’ve named her ‘Clawdia’ and she’s the closest thing I have to a pet right now. Although if she keeps this up for much longer, I may be forced to go out there and call animal control. By which I mean I’ll just try to pet her and see what happens.
