Nani in the Him color palette 👀 (or palette of your choosing)

I'm not sure how much this counts in The Shit Poopoo Palette Gauntlet, since it is just HIM, but tbf, I wasn't gonna pass up the chance here to draw Nani AS Him.

Hey, not to out myself as someone who frequently uh, checks your comic even on hiatus, but heads up that the DoTL comic website is pinging as dangerous/risky connection by firefox.

Hello! Gosh, thank you for checking in with me about this!

This isn't at ALL how I wanted to announce this, but basically: Daughter of the Lilies and @hiveworks' relationship is ending, and everything is being moved to a new server! The site is down and being pinged as a dangerous connection due to the technical issues of this process.

UNFORTUNATELY, Hiveworks has made it clear in the past that they are slower or unable to respond to emails on weekends. I would ask for assistance via the official Hiveworks discord, but I was pre-emptively kicked from it for reasons I am unclear on (no explanation was offered and I was not notified that it would happen). Hiveworks has not yet responded to my email to them about this issue.

So, thank you VERY much for your patience during this time! I'll keep an eye out in case Hiveworks decides to fulfill their obligations and help me complete the migration process, but until then I will do my best to troubleshoot the issue on my own.

Again, I apologize! I did not want to have to make this announcement this way, but thank you again for coming to me to let me know! I'll do my best to keep you all updated moving forward. :)

[lochingbird]

It's no issue! I'm just glad your page didn't get hacked/taken over or something! And sounds like migrating away from hiveworks is a good idea based on their decorum over this. Hoping the transition goes more smoothly from here, and I'm excited to see where the comic ends up!

Oh, never gave an update. The Windows 11 updated didn't brick my computer. It did tell me after a day(14+hours) of 'downloading' that I needed to free up space on my drive, because I didn't have enough...which...I thought installations were supposed to, you know, reserve the disk space needed beforehand so that you don't go through this exact scenario?

Anyways it recommended ways for me to clear up space, including clearing out the temp files folder (would give me enough space on it's own). It's auto clean up feature did...nothing. It's fine, it never worked before either(why it gathers so much junk I guess), so to hand cleaning it I went (i've done this before, no issues).

Important temp files and ones actively used by processes (windows update is still active on my computer, asking me to clear up space in the middle of it's installation, so it's update files should be fine, right?) and you can click a button to skip deleting those.

so I delete what is allowed in the temp files folder and have space to finally finish the update that I didn't want in the first place.

Go back to the windows update screen and ask it to look for space again.

It goes 'sure'

then pauses

Then it goes 'Downloading'

windows temp update files don't survive the 'skip these important or actively used files' prompt

amazing I managed to finish the update at all.

I had hoped to post these one at a time after this irl chaos is over, but in case my computer bricks itself, I must save these very important Nani drawings.

Windows forced me to update to windows 11 today. (yes, forced, I was unable to continue to use my computer until I pressed one of two buttons on screen, "update a few minutes after arriving at your desktop" or "update the next time windows checks for updates(today)"

It did not give me any options to decline

It did not give me an option to schedule it for another day

It did not give me time to make any backups before it began updating.

and even worse, the update began around 9am this morning. It is now 8pm. The update has reached 95%. I have not entered the restart period of the update yet.

I was really hoping to update my C drive to something with more storage space before doing any big updates, and I certainly didn't want to go to 11. (windows systems are already clogging 64+ gigs of my 100GB, and other program files that have automatically download to the C drive have taken up the rest, I've sat at a pretty 8GB left for over a year now while trying to prune and move files and it just stays there) (I am so tired of remapping program files to go to the D drive instead, so tired of it)

if this forced 'upgrade' update bricks my computer I'm going to be so fucking mad, it's already bad enough it's taken the entire day to install it.
