For someone who likes writing so much, you'd think I'd be better with my words. 🙃

The real tragedy of daylight saving time is that most of my dailies don't run on local time, and now their timing is all off by an hour. 🙃

Bed time. Got a bit distracted and took longer than I should have, but writing quota met and chapter finished. Definitely should have just been tacked onto the previous part, it's less than half the length of chapter 1. 😅 Welp, proofreading time tomorrow. G'night.

Guess who only just realised that today is a public holiday and wasted the first half of the day keeping an eye on stuff at work. 🙃 I need to put a reminder for this sort of shit on my phone, this is not the first time this has happened.

Thinking about how Echo Fighters in Smash Ultimate range from, like, Ken having a bunch of different attacks/attributes from Ryu to the point that he's more like a clone than an echo, to Daisy having literally zero differences between her and Peach.

Mornin' folks. The week begins. ...Still hate daylight saving time, but at least now I went to bed at the right time relative to when I woke up. Hope y'all have a good day.

Bed time. Writing quota met. I feel like I'm very close to the end of this fic, and I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't have split this up as a two parter considering how many shorter the second half is compared to the first. 😅 Maybe I'll go back and find more to add when proofreading. G'night.

Daylight saving time is stupid. It should not still be bright outside at 7PM.

Otsukame! Stream over. We did not, in fact, finish the main story. 😅 Somehow it didn't occur to me that there would be more after we finished all the areas and that the thing on the beach was actually main story important. I guess Donkey Kong will have to wait a little longer. See y'all next week~

LIVE NOW! We're back to finish off the big building in Pokopia! And maybe finish the main story probably! It's taken us a while, but let's see what all happens. 😌 www.twitch.tv/melodycturtle #VTuber #VTuberLive

Being a fan of incredibly minor characters is suffering but also I will not be gaslit by the universe into adding even more stories onto the pile of fanfics I want to write this time.

Trying to decide if I'm awake enough to stream after getting slammed by daylight savings. 😪 We'll see how I feel after I have my tea, I guess.

Mornin' folks. I got scammed by daylight savings. I saw the time started with a 5 and went "Huh, seems a bit dark but I guess it's fine to wake up now." not realising it was only 4 relative to last night. 🙃 Why is this still a thing? Hope y'all have a good day.

Bed time. Writing quota met, yippee. It's been a bit. Not sure how many more sessions this one's gonna take. If I'm able to keep it up consistently, it'll probably be done next week, but that depends on my sleep schedule. 😅 G'night.

My wrist is sore, which makes sense seeing as I spent more time than usual drawing today. ...Except it's the wrist of my left hand that's sore, and I'm right-handed. What?

FCs of the day. ProSeka added a new thing for birthdays where you grind materials to make special birthday furniture in My SEKAI, and damn is it tedious. I got all the furniture except the birthday chair which takes 200 flowers (all the other ones combined take 83). 🙃

Lost $33 in Tomodachi Life because I accidentally told a Mii's kid to live on the island by skipping through the dialogue too fast and had to pay to remove them. 🙃

Dunno how long I'll be able to keep it up, but I wanna try, like, doing a weekly sketch so I'm drawing more often and also cutting down the number of characters I've created but don't have a design for. This felt like the most appropriate character to start with.

Jellyfish-themed magical girl who will absolutely bite your head off if given the chance and totally isn't a bootleg version of any characters I discovered recently.

I definitely need to draw more often, even if it's just sketches. I don't draw frequently enough to retain my skills. 🙃

Melody C. Turtle 🐢🌌 Author VTuber & Creator of Various Things @melodycturtle.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

You can tell when a game/story/character has its hooks in my because I just go and start making my own bootleg version of it.

About $30 AUD for 13 games. 🙂 Normally I'd feel bad about adding even more to my backlog, but the vast majority of this stuff is small arcade-y games like Bejeweled and whatever so it doesn't really count.

Me being bad at coming up with names is made worse by my desire to not have my fictional companies overlap their names with any real world companies.

011

Melody C. Turtle 🐢🌌 Author VTuber & Creator of Various Things @melodycturtle.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I have way too many characters that I've made literally no art of. Maybe I should sketch more often.

I get that they're, like, not gonna go and make a custom menu for the MV of just this one song, but I like to arrange the 3D MVs so they line up with the units of the main AU I've been writing fanfiction for, and there's just no real way to do it for this song.

000

Melody C. Turtle 🐢🌌 Author VTuber & Creator of Various Things @melodycturtle.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

The 3D MV in Project SEKAI for the new 5th anniversary song is really cool for containing every character in the game, but the fact that you can only assign the main singers and the rest are automatically populated disappoints me. 😔

Would be cool if YouTube let you block advertisers and not just specific ads. I've gotten three very obviously AI generated ads from the same company this morning and I'd prefer to never see this slop ever again.

Mornin' folks. Fridaaay~ Wish I could stop waking up early with weird dreams, but at least I'm starting to get better at falling asleep again if I can tell it's to early. Hope y'all have a good day.

Bed time. This week is a wash. Instead of focusing on writing, I'm just focusing on relearning how to sleep well. I got a taste of it for, like, one week, and now I'm not used to being perpetually exhausted anymore. G'night.

Today I learned that Marvel has a lesbian magical girl version of Venom, but she only has, like, one major appearance because she was created for "Spider-verse but Venom" and they just needed more Venoms to pad the roster. ...Put her in Tokon.

I keep reminding myself that I shouldn't be complaining like "Man, how do other people have the time do anything?" when it's entirely my own fault that I've loaded myself up with so many projects to work on.

Melody C. Turtle 🐢🌌 Author VTuber & Creator of Various Things @melodycturtle.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

(I know they don't actually want me to grind for it, they want me to spend money to pull on the premium gacha that has the purple memory pieces as a reward for pulling, but as someone who refuses to spend money on gacha, I refuse to acknowledge that as an option.)

Melody C. Turtle 🐢🌌 Author VTuber & Creator of Various Things @melodycturtle.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Project SEKAI really out here wanting me to grind 3000 blue and red memory pieces just so I can turn them into enough purple memory pieces to get the anniversary outfit, huh? I miss the 4th anniversary campaign, that one was easier.

Mornin' folks. Slowly relearning the art of falling back asleep again. Feeling very out of it but I'm trying to convince myself that's because I woke up early and then fell back asleep and now I've only just woken up again. Hope y'all have a good day.
