I think I'm going to start on this tomorrow. Can't promise I'll do one every day, but I am going to do my best to remember to post them all as I go. Am I good at drawing? Hell no. But I'm gonna give a shot and have fun with it. You gotta do it bad before you can do it well.

remember when i broke my partner's guitar while trying to stop my cat from breaking things? it's going to be at *least* $350 to fix, and that's before getting into the optional stuff. i will have a more robust fundraiser stream later but for now, if you're able, i would deeply appreciate the help.

It's all feeling so real now. I've registered. I've applied to volunteer. I have a room booked. I even submitted runs. I'm really going to AGDQ 2027, y'all. 💚

I made a really tasty Zuppa Toscana soup tonight. The problem? I ate way too much soup.

As we're getting very close to time for registration and booking and everything for AGDQ I'm finding myself getting weirdly nervous at this whole thing. Also very excited and happy to finally be in a place that it's feasible, but weirdly nervous.

I think maybe I should apply to be a comms buddy at more events. There's just something fun about existing purely to help someone out and help them shine. Also in general I'm happy to learn about any game to help someone out. So if you ever want silly and/or unhinged chatting I'm ya gal.

Another event done and I was so happy and honored to be back as a Chat Mod Coordinator this time around, and also as a runner with good friends along for the ride. We put in great work and raised a bunch of money for an amazing cause. #FlameFatales was a resounding success, y'all!

Alright I of course got slowed down by the work week, but the journey continued nonetheless. Metroid Fusion is now done. It was really good. I liked that it was more plot-forward, but it could have been a little less on-rails. I have acquired a way to play Samus Returns for 3DS. So that's next up.

A reminder before mine and @218vt.powerupwithpri.de's Yuri% Race tomorrow night for #FlameFatales that this is how close our PBs are in the categories we're racing against. It's going to be a close race no matter who wins out in the end. See y'all there!

screenshot from speedrun.com showing mine and 218vt's times in the game Fear the Spotlight, which we're racing at Flame Fatales 2026. Their time is 35minutes 42 seconds 517 milliseconds. Mine is 35 minutes 42 seconds 880 milliseconds.

Okay so I finished Super Metroid last night. Amazing game. Honestly silly of me to have purposefully avoided it for this long. Got to just past the first boss of Fusion before bed. I'm quickly approaching the point of having to spend money for Dread and Ha Ha I'm in Danger.

Willow @chillingwillow.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Okay carrying on from the other night. I did not like the Game Boy Metroid 2, so I moved on to Super Metroid and damn it is really good. I'll play 2 when I work out a way to play the 3DS remake of it. Don't know how far into SM I am, but I'm thinking maybe I'll go to Fusion next.

Alright so I did give Metroid another fair shake. Attempted original NES Metroid and that was an awful time and I only made it like 15 minutes before giving up. I then sat and completed Zero Mission in one sitting. Well, guess I'm playing them all now.

I really liked the look of the new Metroid. The only experience I have playing the games was someone trying to teach me a specific trick in Super Metroid so I could play rando with them, and I bounced off that way hard. I also beat Prime 1. Should I actually give the series another chance?

This is incredibly important. Too many non-binary and gender-noncomforming accepting queer spaces specifically identify as "femme" areas by mission, and that's great for those of us who feel connected to that in any way, but so many others feel othered without spaces of their own.
