I thought that my break would last for a couple of weeks but it's been almost a month and I still have some doctor appointments scheduled + waiting for some blood/tissue tests. Other than that, the only remaining issue is my ferritin level being 12 🫣

How does one reach normal levels of ferritin especially if they're addicted to coffee/tea

There's this russian book series called Chronicles of Siala by Alexey Pekhov, which OBVIOUSLY STARTED AS THIEF FANFIC. like, first chapter literally reads as some random mansion mission playthrough. Main hero is — of course! — master thief Garrett.

BUT NOT IN THE ENGLISH VERSION, NO. I just learned that in English translation they changed his name into HAROLD and I'm laughing my ass off

[erika-xero]

Anyways the book is pretty entertaining, has a different world building (more fantasy stuff, less steampunk/mechanical), the locatins are not limited to one City and the story doesn't feel like a fanfic later on, so if you're interested you could give it a try lol.

There's also a pretty unique take on elves and I love the lil goblin companion too!

But yeah, I always laugh when people tell me that their favourite part of the book is when Garrett goes through an isolated part of the city filled with undead and scary stuff, because that's the part Pekhov ripped off the Cathedral missions from Thief Gold.

With a Mage Tower instead of Cathedral, but still.

Also, Mr Harold carries a crossbow instead of a bow. "This is my original character" ahh moment

I'm halfway into second book rn, and I thought that we moved on from original Thief Games and then Garrett's (Harold's) childhood friend appears and his name is Bass (lmao)

Also there's a villainness called Lafresa (strawberry in French) and I told y'all that in Russia people sometimes refer to strawberry as to Victoria. So, I guess, Viktoria mentioned LMAO

THIEF REMASTER THIEF REMASTER THIEF REMASTER FUCK YEAHHH

[erika-xero]

Ohhhhhh I'm definitely going to check this out!! Hope that the old version will still be available, though :D

Suddenly remembered about my DMC fan poster series from 2019!

Hero forge's CC literally became so freaking good that I went ahead and made myself 3D refs of my OCs (I usually struggle with Soile's nose in some angles).

More backgrounds for Three Past Midnight visual novel! The hall and the corridor of Misery's house.

[erika-xero]

yeah so I don't care that messangers and even the mobile internet ain't working anymore I am NOT using that fuck-ass "national messenger" they're pushing. White list this, white list that -- FUCK your white list. I ain't succumbing to your propaganda + I'll not surrender. No, nah, not gonna happen. You just don't realize how awful it is with internet here where I live, the govs are literally at war with social media and messangers and all that because they're pushing their own media platforms owned by oligarchs. That is why I left VK for good and only use my mail/ru email as trashcan. I am here with you for as long as I can and if one day I dissappear from the world wide web -- y'all know who to blame. But I ain't going to their shitty platforms they're trying to push down our throats. And it's not even about digital security or quality. At this point it's a matter of principles. I am EITHER staying on this side of the Internet OR go completely offline. And yeah I know that this has become a breaking point for many who still stayed in here since 2022, but I ain't going anywhere. I have my elders to care for + no money for immigration + the last but not the least. I ain't gonna let them drive me off of my land. No, nah. Not going to happen.

Hero Forge added birdfolk some time ago, which I only discovered today. Coudn't say no to creating the PIGEON ROGUE and also his big bro:

BE NOT AFRAID

@darklydreaming108's boy Elio!

[erika-xero]

Did a pretty journal design for Three Past Midnight visual novel <3

[odetoscavengers]

i had a dream that a thief movie came out and it was complete dogshit and the theater was basically just full of us thief fans on tumblr and we were all losing our minds. i cant remember much other than Garrett was just a marvel movie protagonist who said shit like "ermmm that was awkward" and everytime he did that we would throw popcorn at the screen

[erika-xero]

Aaand this is exactly what happened to another game series that I love lmao, please no more of this bullshittery

[erika-xero]

doodlin' around with Lucia (and a lil bit of Dante)

still can't wrap my head around ndmc. getting rid of an only one canon black female character, who basically fought for her freedom to give more screen time to white woman who committed genocide was certainly. a choice.

[erika-xero]

close ups + some refs. Tried to make her facial features look as close to in-game model as possible. So, plump lips + downturned eyes, BUT with hazel eye color instead of grass green. this is how I drew her in 2019 (for comparison).
