I’m going to be a tad annoyed if Reanimal expansion Chapter 2 drops on Halloween or something now that the 13th date is out the window. It’ll be the first one I won’t be able to play on launch. 😭

I am FREAKING OUT and so excited. Sixty illustrations?? Let’s just say I am sufficiently… something’d.

"James and the Giant Peach by way of The Muppet Movie, with the adventurous high spirits and the meta-framing of The Princess Bride and the lush weirdness of Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away." It's the cover of @iamjameskennedy.bsky.social's latest. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2026/10/09/i...

You know what, this is so weird. So if you combined The Puppeteer and The Leech Monster, you’d basically get the vibes of my Resident. 😅

It continues. While I don’t think my LN persona would live in the Carnevale, I could see it being possible with just how much is down there. The Puppeteer definitely reminds me a bit of them. You can sort of see what I’m getting at in the design, even though they’re quite distinct.

Can confirm it’s just Cold Foot who is bigger! That’s actually so clever! They keep knocking the designs and little special things they do for each character out of the park. An absolute delight!

I’m really trying to not run away like this. But I’m really struggling with the line between. Things matter. But the internet/social media does not. How does one reconcile that? Especially when you start to feel unseen by the things you love…

I remember the time I was at one of those live symphony movie screenings that encouraged the audience to make noise where I let out a big loud “woo!” in a sea of silence toward a vindicating statement about the character I dressed as and the guy next to me whispered “That was very brave of you?” lol

Please understand. It took everything in me to do so. This was the third venue/ show I’d been to for this concert. I don’t like making a scene and chicken out easily even though my entire body is screaming. I REALLY wanted to recognize the moment of character growth.

Even though I nervously laughed… I can’t thank that person enough for validating ME also. I don’t think they were being sarcastic. But even so… to give recognition in front of hundreds of people(during a silent emotional scene) for what I felt was important… I WAS brave, wasn’t I?

I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again— if being the villain in everyone else’s story is what it comes down to… I already made peace with that long ago. People condemn a challenge. They’re complacent with not thinking it matters. I’m not giving up.

I feel like when people say a game is x length… I always take at least double that the first time around because I’m having way too much fun goofing off and seeing what can and can’t be done. Generally causing chaos and probing around, especially when games have physics, is one of my fave things.

The new Reanimal chapter was fire. Had an absolute blast. And some very funny moments with my co-op partner. There seems to be some similarities between this and the LN3 chapter too, including possibly being better than the base game. Fantastic.

Sometimes I want to run away. I’m not that strong. Even the things that make me happy, I can’t share because I hate this place. It gets worse and worse and worse. That’s not me. It’s what I’m forced to be.

I have some issues to work out with it, but the first pass at a static screen without the nose is pretty cool. I probably won’t be posting the rest since I don’t want to draw attention, but… 💜

I’m going to burst because I know a trailer has to be approaching. And I swear if I get Spot-blocked again I’m just going to break down. Who am I kidding, I’m going to break down regardless.

lol I don’t know I just thought it was funny. He’s still the king of (coming!)

I have no idea why my other figure went to California. What the heck! Oh well. That’s actually the reason I ordered two and paid shipping twice. I was so worried something would happen.

The gang’s all here! I can’t express what it means to have these three in my life. Now to be able to see them all together as figures is a silly yet inspiring dream come true. I’ve learned so much about myself -my best and my worst- and want to continue to grow alongside you guys. 💜

Rule 1 of bendy figures though… you don’t paint the main bend points. He should have been cast in red. I can not see his arms lasting. It’s just something I immediately noticed. 😭 I know white is harder to paint over a darker colour, but he would have benefited long-term.
