State of the Serial - October 2025

No art this month— mostly because I commissioned art that's technically spoilers. However, there is a Hina Sunspot and Ivy Drakemont arm wrestling art in the works, yootie-approved. That's gonna be public, so keep an eye out for that.

Anyways, this month's State of the Serial wil...

State of the Serial - September 2025

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Silksong to bring you art of our own Dame Elizabeth Tousavon, courtesy of Grimmjeow!

Deep Dive - 3.11

Rot, scraping at my scales.

Tremoring bridges beneath our boots, echoing our steps out into an impossible infinity.

An absence I cannot define.

Thoughts like that could lead me down into a dark spiral. Anxiety and dread are potent brews, but unproductive ones.

“Let’s t...

Verity and Ivy Candids by Grimmjeow!

That's right, more art by the lovely Grimmjeow, this time "candids" of Ivy and Verity. Art of Lena is lagging a bit behind due to how I queued things, unfortunately...

Deep Dive - 3.10

My heart drums a steady and swift beat, pushed by excitement and pragmatism alike. This is a monster that poses a genuine threat— massive, likely agile, and with a burning, furious malice glowing in its eight eyes. 

A growl builds in my chest. My claws lengthen, my skin give...

State of the Serial - August 2025

Another month, another three chapters done, so that means it's time for another State of the Serial. I'll be talking about this arc's reception, my patreon, and future plans, in that order!

Arc 3

3.3 is out for the public, 3.9 is out for Patrons. Overall, reception ha...

Deep Dive - 3.9

Dawn greets me in bed today, its golden blade rising through the curtains to hold me at swordpoint. It’s not the usual way we meet, and I don’t intend to make a habit of it. I much prefer to see the sun rise while I jog, or over the edge of an interesting book.

Today, though, I shade my...

Deep Dive - 3.8

Content Warnings: Discussions of bodily dysphoria and dysmorphia.

Do I even want to make sense of this?

It's just a little open air meeting, really. Like how they do their politics in Ard Judicia, just with less stairs and duels, and therefore a lot more boring.

Deep Dive - 3.7

There is no wind, no rustling, no true natural sound once the echoes of the monster’s shattering bones fade. There is only the soft crackling of bone-grass, Verity’s gentle humming, and the rustle of our armors— chain for her, metal and leather for the both of us. 

All the worse ...

State of the Serial - July 2025

You know, all those authors doing State of the Serial updates have the right idea. I think it's high time I start doing that, too.

State of the Serial updates will generally discuss, uh, the state of things: what's happened with the serial over the past month, what I'm planning, and I'll de...

Deep Dive - 3.6

The formless smoke writhes. It twists, it twitches, it glints in the sourceless light, tearing itself from the golden sky to rush toward us. Bone-grass flattens with its passage, and as it spasms through the rifts, we prepare ourselves. 

Unless distance is exceptionally warped, and ass...

TDoC: Schedule, Plans, and Discord

Hey all! This post will also serve as a schedule and discord link for my patrons. There's also going to be a bit of rambling at the bottom, mostly about my goals for the future.

Schedule:

Three weeks of uploads on Wednesday at 10am Eastern, followed by a break week. P...

Deep Dive - 3.4

The light of dawn is colder today, in warmth and spirit both. A morning jog through the mist chilled my body and awakened my mind, but did little to soothe the dread in my gut. Tea hasn't helped much either— still dressed for running, I sprawl across a chair and do my best to ease my worries. A...

Deep Dive - 3.3

When I slide into the bath this time, it frees a wordless, guttural groan from my throat. Long, loud, and underpinned by a growl from deep in my chest, I vent out my frustration and physical aches in one cathartic release. A tinge of Wind escapes, too; carving fleeting spirals of green light thro...

“I'm done, actually,” I manage once I'm over choking on her awful sense of humor. Yes, I'm green stained, yes, it's a terrible pun; I silently thank the Gods that I'm able to stop myself from properly laughing. At the very least, any worries I had about this paladin being the stuffy type are ...

Deep Dive - 3.1

My problems resume their march and motion two weeks later and, as always, when I least want them to. It begins as a shifting of the World around me, a tilting as it is yanked askew and weakened like crumbling soil. The angle would be subtle to most, but to a Delver it's a bonfire on the blackest ...

TDoC Arc 2 Q&A!

Celebrating the end of Arc 2, I asked my patrons to send me questions... but not for me, no! For the characters. So here’s a selection of those for your perusal.

“...and you're certain it'll work?”

“Enhanced senses.” I tap my nose, confirming Gelson's question. “And enhanced reflexes. It'll work.”

It's odd to be on the other side of this conversation— I feel like I should be the one listening as a gruff detective lays out their m...

“A-are you upset with me? For, um, lying again.” Helena's words are soft, and in the whirlwind of activity and chatter as we turn ourselves around toward the passage, I barely hear her.

She already knows my answer, and I don’t care to explain myself. Instead, I catch up to Gelson and ...

Art of Helena by Grimmjeow!

Concept was the main cast in more modern outfits, specifically pretty formal-ish wear.

Mjeow was a treasure, and we blazed through this commission. Frequency of more character art commissions will depend on Patreon income, but it will happen!

The Puzzle Box - 2.14

Unfortunately, I can’t just jump into a frantic, enthusiastic investigation of Church nonsense. No, the detectives have to call in constables to watch the vault, get a room set aside to speak to the guards; all the things proper investigators with paperwork should do. It leaves me with idle tim...

It’s hard to walk into the rectory as if nothing has changed. To walk past the space where a passage might sit, to put my boots on solid ground but still feel a strangely unsteady eagerness.

Secrets live here, and they always did; now a light has been cast to show their shapes in the dark...

After the emotional hike that was last night— all breathless summits and stifling valleys, linked only by tense climbs— investigating a theft with Gelson sounds effortless by comparison. No speaking from the heart, no meddling in grand affairs, and no Benny asking why I’d been up until past...

"Empty. You see, Winston?" Lizzie rolls her eyes rather dramatically, setting the wine bottle to the side. “I insisted, dear, that you have two brought up from the cellar. I was right, as I often am.”

The nights are growing. Stretching out, spreading their stars across the sky more with each day. When I arrived in Craumont, this time of day would see the Craumont Estate glow in the dusklight. Now, it is bathed in silver-white as I approach.

We step from bland, tidy uniformity to warm light and cramped halls. The walls are a soft green, the floors are plush and carpeted... they've even got Fire Crystal lamps that flicker like real candles.

The door shuts behind us with a smug click. Smug Gods-damned door. What’d they...
