3 of 4 shelves done and up and merch has been moved out of boxes and onto them >:) ...except I underestimated the footprint of the shikishi frames I got so I only got the echoes of sin shikishi up (and i also just have. A lot more merch than I thought oops). Had set aside some other shikishi like alkaid's previous bday to display instead of in one of my scrapbooks but all well. I do need to find some tiered mini shelves or w/e (I've seen them around just haven't picked any up) to organize and display all this better, just. Wasn't sure what I'd be needing exactly. Probably gonna end up rearranging this like 5 times. Do need to find a layout where the 3d diorama is visible because that thing is neat and it is currently relegated to being a stand for the 4th anni cake acrylic.

4th empty bracket in the upper right is for some HSR merch. Shelf had to get sanded and repainted on the edges so all of that shall remain in boxes for a couple more days.

Okay but like. The reasons I am so ????? about the event.

CN PL event story spoilers below the cut.

The possibility of there being an absolutely ancient Alkaid out there in some universe who might theoretically learn to universe hop or do other space/time shenanigans (me guessing based on some of the things he can do). Also a planet eater and essentially an eldritch cosmic being. The one thing that gives me pause about this being a legit alternate timeline is his reaction of pure rage and anger at "the voice" causing his planet to be destroyed. Like I guess child Alkaid was always a bit more volatile/emotional than adult Alkaid (as seen with Edenkaid) but hm. Like my current thought is this is a movie he and MC made/it's Cael's possible-timeline-theater. And i'm still scratching my head over the dinosaur and coming home things; not sure if analogy or literal or "there is a theoretical timeline where this is the case". Again don't read mind-fucky LBC stories while high

On MC's end, the implication of her being able to re-write/alter reality through her artform (in this case, writing) alone unless again this is just a theoretical possibility or not real. I single this out because I consider her ability to do this through time travel a different ability altogether since she has to directly interfere rather than re-write cause and effect.

And again this also hearkens back to the Alkaid+MC theme of multiple possibilities and meeting in multiple theoretical worlds and timelines. I guess thinking along these lines, we could get something in the epilogue where PL asks MC the same question his self in this alternate timeline/possibility did of "would you trade the current me for my other self?".

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

So I finished the current CNY/Valentines 2026 story on CN for PL a couple days ago. There's like. One minor detail at the end that's driving me up a wall because I'm foggy on certain world building details and I want to ask people who might remember better about that world building detail but I also don't want to give away spoilers on accident. Help.

I also finished Godforsaken Land Chapter 3 Part 2. I have. Thoughts. That I will save for a dedicated post. I'm also mentally bouncing off the walls over a certain scene because it was everything I wanted. Also fuck u conchmeat for where that chapter ended at.

Goddammit why I do get the urge to catch up and read stuff in lbc when I need to be sleeping. I still haven't read the part 2 update of chapter 3 of Godforsaken Land or chapter 4 since ch 3 p2 came out at such a bad time for me. I have jewelry class in the morning I need to sleeeeeeep

Thinking about the end of the new CN PL card and like. The mental imagery of him making out with MC and suddenly stopping and going "^^ okay you're running a fever. Time to sleep," and bundling her up and tucking her into bed is. Really funny. Rat bastard man.

[ehrzeth]

Oh yeah so um. Had almost a full breakdown crying over the new Alkaid CN card. It's sad. But so, so good.

Hmmmm I need to update my icon and banner since my char is now a Viera in XIV and not an Au Ra. I also kinda wanna flesh out a backstory for her (she has a bare bones one in my head technically) but also like...it's weird because the name "Ehrzeth Lahr" is synonymous to me the player if that makes sense. So it is me, but also my character. Never thought I'd want to try rp'ing in XIV. Also not sure if I have the attention span or confidence to do any bit of rp with non-close friends. Aaaalsoooo wanting to hop on the WoL lightwarden train and make one for her because that is the stuff I like.
