Holiday Update Schedule???? (A brief break)

For the first time in 5 years of FtPverse, I'm taking a holiday break.

I already skipped uploading a chapter around Christmas, and while around now would be the best time for me to upload another one, I'm gonna take this week off, as well!

Ideally, I'd resume updates on January 4th or so, buuuut AGDQ starts Jan 3rd, and I may extend the break to Jan 9th to account for that! I dunno. There are quite a few days where there's only one or two things I want to catch, and I can probably upload a chapter during down time.

For certain: a chapter will go up somewhere between Jan 5 and Jan 7 if at all during AGDQ. If I don't get one up during AGDQ, then Jan 10th. Coolio.


In other news!!! CHRISTMAS STUFF!!!!!

I end up doing this every year and, even though I'm kind of late this year, well!! Here we are now!!




Here's all!! my Christmas presents!!!! Well, all the ones I got Christmas morning, not any of the ones I got Christmas night at my Grandma's.

It like, there weren't any Big Old Fancy presents but it was all stuff I really wanted!!!!!


I got Yoshi's Woolly World which I won't sit here and review for ages but in short: is a fun Yoshi game with all the regular Yoshi charm and as an already fan of Yoshi's Story and Yoshi's Island, it, it feels really good. It's something like a cross between the two but with everything being made out of yarn, it's got it's own new quirks and mechanics and it's?? It's really good.

If you want an even shorter version: it was developed by a company called Good Feel and, that's exactly what it is. A good feel feel good game.


I also got!!! A certain hedgehog plushie!!! Which you may be thinking "rar seriously isn't that for kids???" and, here's my take: yeah, it is, but i love him. my lil sister sent me a pic of her with him at some mall shop months ago and i was like wait those still exist they still make those uuuuuum oh my god i want one and so, merry christmas to me, he's great

(The little plushie next to him is Rey from the new Star Wars and she is my daughter and the light of my life my favorite etc, she's really good, the movie's really good, if you haven't seen The Force Awakens you should now because, wow, what a great??? star wars???? honestly)



I also got!!! the Chain of Memories novel!! which they released in English like half a year ago but I kept forgetting to buy but my mom got me it for Christmas so it's all good!!!

I keep meaning to do a full review of it on tumblr, though I've only read Sora's story so far, but my short take for here:

It's pretty good, but about as interesting as the game itself? It's real easy to not care in the Disney worlds or, um, a lot of Sora's story, though I ended up getting really invested towards the end / when Repliku, my son, showed up (read: just like the game itself).

I know Riku's story has a lot of added stuff for Repliku and I keep putting off reading it but Sora's story doesn't have a lot of extra stuff?? I mean, you get extra insight into his brain which is pretty cool and you also get some insight into Namine's but, um, for me Namine felt a little off-character, or at least she came off as very??? I dunno how to put it, but, hooo, it didn't feel that great in every spot.

My biiiiigest complaint is that the writing style is kind of bland. I blame that mainly on the fact it was translated from Japanese and they did the "we just translated it word for word and didn't do much in the ways of making it actually sound good in English outside inserting word-for-word quotes from the game every now and then" thing, so, like a lot of translated Japanese material it, it's a little bland.

Also they kept calling Namine "flaxen-haired" and I freaking swear if I ever hear those words again I'll scream. don't do that. it sucks.


I'll do another update here when I actually read Riku's side I guess but in the meantime:


have this slightly blurry picture of my son with a bow on his head.
