Finally got the hang of the summon familiar spell and this guy showed up, but I'm not sure about his work ethic. Hasn't helped brew a single potion, can't even hold the crystal ball, and his snuggle demands are so hard to keep up with. Still, his vague fishy aroma seems to be helping my telekinetic stamina, so I guess I'll keep him around.

animal death mention & suicide tw
My mother: the cat’s anxiety attacks are too much, I’m putting her down.
Me: oh sure, take away one of the few glimmers of joy I have left AND grant the CAT a “mercy killing” but not me?? fuck you

MK-S: Another Dark Souls update: those guys and cat(s) behind the artirious door seal are kicking my butt, so I left that area to do other things. Finally got that armor set you mentioned, but I haven’t taken the time to look it over. (Plus I’ve already gotten rather attached to a set of +1/2 Knight armor.)
Killed a black knight in the basin, and found the Valley of Drakes…yeah, drakes made a unanimous decision to inform me that I was to go find something else to do.
BlightTown was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Just had to be a bit cautious (and was occasionally punished when I wasn’t). It helps that I found a ninja set with high toxin/poison resistance, and that I’ve killed enough shrubs that I had plenty of purple moss and some purple flowering moss handy. I did consult a wiki map though. Get this: I crossed a moving bridge, grabbed a humanity, decided it was best to use it to kindle a nearby bonfire, did so, when back, only to discover that the humanity was the only thing down that path. So I had to cross the moving bridge back. Dang, those things are risky if you’re not paying attention.
Imagine my surprise at finding a second entry into the new Valley of Drakes. (Oh and I got the second fire keeper soul.) Then my surprise when I end up in the new lando ruins just below firelink, and right next to the elevator. I love shortcuts. (Also, it’s funny when you realize that more than half the game/story could be skipped if your character could just break doors or rusty iron gates. “Slay a dragon?” Easy. “Break a door down?” Impossible.)
Killed Quelaag on my first try! Woohoo! Second bell rung and dang Frampt is terrifying to see where a puddle used to be. But I’m ecstatic that I finally unlocked the Dark Souks garbage disposal: my storage box was getting full of junk.
MK-S: Just a quick note on a missed development opportunity in Dark Souls: I know that there’s the female merchant who sells curse stones that also sells a single Humanity. I think it would have been neat if it was her Humanity that she was selling, and after buying it, who knows? Maybe she’d go hollow or something, not having realized how vital what she sold was. And it could have been a trap for unsuspecting players who just go “oh, valuable” and buy it without a second thought, or a more through glance at the item description.
Glad to hear your're progressing well!
And uhm. Yeah. The actual forest past the door isn't an area you need to reach yet if my memory doesn't let me down rn. Same goes for the area with the small dragons oof

I debated whether I should buy Inquisition on Playstation, so at least I can try and play it on the sofa
Its £4.99, but I kinda dont want to buy the game again. Especially as i dont know how well playing it on controller works for me
..... Well today, thanks to something at work, I've ended up with a free £25 PSN voucher....
......... and nothing to spend it on ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Great dreamling dynamic is dream sees hob for the reunion in 2021 and he just.. cant leave. Cant get himself to leave and wait another 100 years. Hob is so excited he even gets to have another meeting and he nearly dies for real when dream just kinda follows him upstairs at the end of the night like a stray cat! Hob is trying so incredibly hard to not make a big deal over it afraid of another 1889 even if his stranger seems so different now... they continue their meeting in hobs living room sitting next to one another on a small couch and dream brings his now socked feet up on the couch to hold his legs to his chest and hob bites his tongue so he doesnt tell this powerful supernatural force that he looks so fucking cute right now. Hob will extend this meeting as long as he can but hes ready to pass out hes so tired. Dream catches him yawning and instructs him to go to bed but hob is stalling trying anything to get his stranger to stay. Its ends up hob falls asleep despite his best efforts and wakes up in his own bed, bittersweet that he got to see his stranger again but accidentally cut their meeting short... he hopes dream will still come around for 2089 instead of now waiting until 2121. Dream is still on his couch. He turns to look at hob when he exits his room and gives a slow blink. Hob is so fucking confused but he rolls with it with a grin and prepares them a big breakfast and dream can feel the love and affection pouring out of the cup of tea alone. Its exactly like feeding a stray cat, because he keeps coming back.
The more affection hob gives dream the more often dream comes around. Hob is so glad this is the case because he has so many hugs to give and having dream as a regular fixture in his life now is one of the best things thats ever happened to him. Hes waiting at their table for hob to get home from work every day now and when hob kisses him for the first time dream cant stand to be apart from him for more than about 4 hours at a time before a near cataclysmic breakdown. Hob doesn’t get scared off, not in the slightest. He quite enjoys the obsessive focus in fact because his own all encompassing adoration for dream seems less creepy in comparison.
Coworker: uh hey whatcha got there??
Hob, holding hands with dream for the past 12 hours straight: a smoothie.
