Oh, and while I'm at it: hehe new avatar preview uwu

A person drawn in a stylized design and monochrome pallette using mostly light, warm colors. They have pinkish skin, with darker red/pink hair that frames their face and reaches their chin. They have pointed humanoid ears, and a second set of cat ears with similar coloring to their hair. Their mouth is open in an excited or happy expression

On top of this, lots of other stuff can be randomized! In our game, all the treasures are randomized, but so are the caves! This includes the sublevels (which are shuffled), the bosses (fully randomized), and all the enemies (also fully randomized). It's super chaotic but also tons of fun :D

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 01/08/2026

For those who don't know, Archipelago is an multi-world (MW) randomizer that turns items in our own worlds into "checks" which can send a random item to ourselves or the others in the MW. This means that some of our treasures send items out, and some of their items send us treasures!

Guess who's back to streaming!! :D We missed putting the announcement here for the first session, but we'll be continuing an Archipelago stream with our friends Cyra and Lia on Monday at 7PM EST! We're playing Pikmin 2, Cyra's playing KH2, and Lia's playing Paper Mario: TTYD twitch.tv/selenated

we're making a mod for pikmin 2 that will let viewers drop enemies on us! it'll also be available to the public for others to use once we're finished with it ❤️ the above video is a test of what happens when we drop something random every 5 seconds lol. truly it is complete and utter chaos

working on things is still not easy with everything we have going on for us, but right now we're trying to learn to have fun with it again! this is part of an effort to make engaging with our passions feel safe again, which really just means that we'll be following our curiosity where it leads tbh

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 19/01/2026

that said: expect to see more wacky, unfiltered, silly, and weird stuff from us in the future. we're gonna be annoying and i will make sure of it >:3 i want to break our avoidance and social anxiety by unapologetically being us. and purposely being a massive yapper. prepare yourselves :)

110

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 19/01/2026

honestly though, our main focus lately has very much been on our health (both physical and mental) and trying to undo some things that have made life harder for us for a long time. it's a massive work in progress, and it's hard, but we're getting there i think. slowly but surely, we make progress <3

110

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 19/01/2026

small ramble update from our side account! main points: - haven't moved yet, hoping to do so by the end of this month or next month - still struggling a lot. still doing our best ❤️ - been thinky thonkin about content stuff again don't wanna say too much for fear of breaking promises again but 👀

110

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 20/11/2025

anyways! still, this is an overall positive for us rn and we're excited to be moving into a new place that won't have the bugs and mice that this house does :D plus we're excited to do things™ again >:3 that's all for now, thanks for reading!! ❤️ - Dusk

000

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 20/11/2025

but, that's just something that we're going to have to work towards, especially since it requires having an income and that's still the biggest hurdle right now 😅 we're hoping that moving into a cleaner home with no history to it will help us feel better, but we'll have to see how it plays out ^^;

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 20/11/2025

living with family that caused a ton of the trauma and neglect that led to us developing c-ptsd is still hard for us, even though we've had good news to share. it's still 100x better than living with our ex, but it does weigh on us pretty heavily. we still want to get out of here eventually

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 20/11/2025

on the topic of health actually: we've been struggling mainly with our fatigue as of late. it kinda feels like we're in a neverending crash, and everything feels really hard and really exhausting we've been reading a book about c-ptsd though, and i think we might actually be in a flashback :'3

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 20/11/2025

- related to that: we're planning to stream again once we're moved into the new place, which will hopefully be around the start of next year - we're still struggling a lot with financial stuff and health issues tbh, but we still really wanna do creative things again <3 we miss it so much

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 20/11/2025

more updates from us: - moving soon!! nana (our grandma) was able to find a house that can handle all four of the folks living here. from what we've been told we should be getting the keys within the next week so we can start moving :D

110

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 20/11/2025

gonna make another thread with some more updates in a sec but wanted to post the doodle uwu

000

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 20/11/2025

we've had the new phone for about a week now and honestly it's pretty nice? we've been avoiding pixels cuz of knowing how bad they are to repair, but the actual phone itself isn't so bad. plus it's nice to no longer be trapped on Android 9 lol (this phone comes with Android 16, for reference)

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 20/11/2025

we don't have a pressure sensitive stylus with this phone (it's a pixel, so we just have a rubber tip stylus) so it's a little weird to draw with, but i think we could get used to it <3 but also, since we got to keep our galaxy note 8, we can still draw with that as well (which DOES have a stylus)

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 20/11/2025

got a new phone (grandma took advantage of an upgrade deal with our provider; we're still keeping the old one thankfully) and decided to doodle on it to see how well it works :3c - Dusk

a digital bust sketch of a person with straight, chin-length hair and longer bangs that cover most of their eyes and frames their face. they have a smug expression and a floating knife is pointed at them

the same drawing from before, but this time colored with a mostly lineless style. they have light skin, red hair, and red eyes, and they're wearing a green shirt with a yellow stripe across it. the knife is colored with a silver blade and a black handle

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 04/11/2025

Big changes are coming :3c ... And by that I mean we changed our system name lol. Hi, we're Selenelion Aberration! We go by Sol or Selen now if you're referring to us collectively Calling us Grey is fine still, we just needed a name that represents who we are now as opposed to a few years ago ❤️

A picture of a desk holding a makeshift computer setup. There's a handheld gaming device on the right (ROG Ally) held in place by a box from cans of mountain dew, a secondary monitor on the left, and a 2-in-1 laptop folded so that only the screen is accessible perched on a shelf behind them. There are plenty of cables spanning the desk, along with the (unopened, save for one) cans of mtn dew from the box. To the far right is a box fan on full blast

UPDATE: We moved from our ex's back to our family's house; things are better for us mentally, but physically we've got a LOT of stuff going on. Here are some pics of our current living situation, please consider helping us get out of here :'3 gofund.me/100408ac

A picture of an extremely messy house, showing a dining room area and part of the livingroom. There is trash piled up along with boxes of various foods.

An image of the kitchen sink area of the house. There are dishes covering the counters and the floor, with more trash and food-related stuff piled up everywhere.

Another picture of the livingroom. Once again, there are boxes stacked up with a significant amount of trash and food items piled around.

A picture from the bathroom, showing the wall and the ceiling. The plaster on the wall has been ripped off to show the bare wood underneath, and the ceiling has been torn up as well. There's a hole in the ceiling that goes into the floor of another room on the next story up, and one of the steel support beams is missing.

Addendum: we'll be leaving the GFM up and will still be accepting donations from anyone wanting to chuck a few bucks our way- we don't want to permanently live with family and we'd still like to move out when we get the chance. Every little bit helps us to do that ❤️

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 06/07/2025

But yeah, just wanted to talk about it here. It's been so exhausting being in this relationship and I'm so, so glad we're getting out of it. The fact that she has shown how little she cares and how little she wants to change speaks volumes about her. I'm glad to be rid of that soon. - Dusk

110

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 06/07/2025

She isn't kicking us out, to be clear. We decided to open the conversation about getting us back to Michigan during that blow up. It's our decision and we're glad to be doing it, even if we might get worse for a bit because of it. Ultimately I think this will be better for us and our well-being.

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 06/07/2025

In a lot of ways it was cathartic, but in a lot of ways it was like trying to tear down a brick wall that just keeps rebuilding itself. Hey acknowledgements of wrongdoing are hollow. She doesn't care enough to make an effort to change, despite expecting change from us. It's rage-inducing.

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 06/07/2025

But the fact that she expected us to "get better" while completely and blatantly refusing to do any of the things that we asked of her- while taking her anger out on us, while refusing to communicate, while disrespecting our needs... yeah, I couldn't keep my mouth shut anymore. I yelled. I swore.

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 06/07/2025

We don't believe in a timeline for healing. We don't believe in pacing ourselves for others' comfort or desires. We don't believe that we CAN, nor SHOULD, meet someone else's expectations for getting better. And we never expect those things from anyone else either.

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 06/07/2025

I'm very angry, frustrated, and upset at her double standards and hypocrisy in all this. Being told that we've been doing good at bettering ourselves over the last year, "but by then it was too late"- after she did the exact same thing, and only started getting better in the past year... ugh. Ugh!!

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 06/07/2025

I won't get into detail, but something happened last night and I couldn't hold back any longer. I went off on her, in a very much needed way. In the end she agreed with me and acknowledged that I was right, and the way that she's acted is shitty, but she didn't seem to care to change anything.

100

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 06/07/2025

UPDATE: we hit our breaking point with our ex, and we're going back to live with family for the time being. We've been trying desperately to avoid this due to the health hazards of the house, but at this point I think it's ultimately a better place for us than living here is.

i don't think we posted this over here yet (been meaning to put it on our art page with a timelapse) but this silly guy is me :3 you can probably just pretend i'm Kam at this point, but calling me Dusk is preferred. that's all for now i think

A digital drawing of a catperson with light skin, blue eyes, and large round glasses. Their hair is in bands of color from a dark blue to a desaturated red, and it curls out away from their head. They're wearing multiple space-themed accessories: a cloud earring, a sun earring, and a star clip in their hair. They're also wearing a reddish, oversized sweater. They're smiling at the viewer with one eye closed, the other with shadows beneath it showing that they're tired.

Sol does too much stuff @selenated.com · 24/05/2025

kind-of sort-of had a host change i.... think? it's complicated but: hi, i'm Dusk, i'm a weird mix of Kam and Construct. Kam is maybe not around anymore, Construct is definitely still here but I think I stole some fragments from them hashtag just plural things lol. anyways, hi hello [waves] - Dusk
