Here's a character I made for Silksong, Lailie! This OC actually has some backstory regarding her creation. I liked Hollow Knight a lot, so I wanted to make a self insert. She would explore Hallownest, drawing the cool things she found in a sketchbook. She would let The Knight see her illustrations, for a price, of course. Then, when I thought about it, Lailie's concept seemed too similar to Cornifer. So I scrapped the original idea, and did something completely new. Instead of a wandering artist, she would be a sort of technician, building things in the comfort of her workshop. I didn't know how to fit that into the original, so I decided to put her in Silksong, instead. Hornet would encounter Lailie somewhere early on into the game, and she would upgrade her things. Sort of similar to The Nailsmith from the first game, now that I think about it, but not too similar. I hope Team Cherry sees this and puts her into the game. It would really make my day.

When Instagramers recommend cake

@Petit Noir...

…was recommended to me in a brewing house with no name on the wrong side of the Rhine. I’d been on my first instawalk, organised by Koelnergram and was drinking beer with some Instagram Elders. The recommendation came from @lailie, she later explained that @ollili had told her of the place.

Bevor I get to the Café and the cake, I do recommend you checkout both @lailie and @ollilion…

@Petit Noir...

…was recommended to me in a brewing house with no name on the wrong side of the Rhine. I’d been on my first instawalk, organised by Koelnergram and was drinking beer with some Instagram Elders. The recommendation came from @lailie, she later explained that @ollili had told her of the place.

Bevor I get to the Café and the cake, I do recommend you checkout both @lailie and @ollili on Instagram. Lailie has been taking photos for like forever (in social media life spans) and doesn’t just take great pictures of interesting places. I think she has a wonderful eye for capturing people in special moments. I’m amazed with what Ollili comes up with on a daily basis. He is a great photographer with an eye for the moment, angle, lighting, composition. Both have good taste when it comes to cake.

It was the start of Autumn when I visited Petit Noir but Summer was still lingering with golden sunny warmth. I locked my bike, eyed up a small table in the sun and stepped through the entrance. In that instant I felt the world around me change and found myself in a simple bare café somewhere on the southern French coast. At least it fulfilled everything I’d expect if I was entering a wee café in a small town in the south of France. White washed walls, young guys behind the bar, makeshift flare but clean and tidy. I savour these moments when they happen.

It was my lucky afternoon – they had one piece of the carrot cake lailie was so keen on. I got it reserved for me, organised a latte to go with it and bagsed my seat in the sun. I love the tables outside. No one matching chair, all slightly rusted metal. I was sitting on Zülpicher Street but as far as I was concerned it was a beach promenade that day.

The coffee was rich and smoky. That was good with the cake’s light flavours of cinnamon and nut with notes of caramel. The rich cream cheese topping had a sweet lemon tang. The real carrot (vegetable) decoration really touched me.

I would go here for cake anytime again. Maybe even in winter, definitely in spring. And summer.
