20231130 Deep Space Domain Lord's Weekly Journal Chapter.58

Hi everyone! It’s time for our weekly journal check-in!

We went through so many fun things together this week! First off—WirForce!!! I was absolutely thrilled to have the chance to share that stage with all of you. Both the Zero Two dance and *A Cruel Angel's Thesis* were incredible. Guang spent ten solid hours putting together the Zero Two dance, and the stage effects were completely out of this world. And Muqing singing *A Cruel Angel's Thesis*? Pure vocals from heaven. I had an absolute blast dancing along to it (it was the ultimate stress reliever, even if my neck was popping the whole time). Seeing all the Little Cottons out there in the crowd just made my excitement go through the roof. Since I had to wake up so early for the event, I crashed incredibly hard right after it was over. But then I woke up and somehow stayed wide awake until 9 AM the next day! LMAO.

Since I found myself with all that extra time, I hustled to pack up the member reward merch and successfully shipped everything out on Monday! (Patting myself on the back for that one.) So the merch saga is finally a wrap—hell yeah! That said, my upcoming commission deadlines are looking a little tight, so I’ll probably be taking three or four days off in a row next week just to catch up on them. Don't miss me too much! (Actually, doing the math, it looks like I might be taking three to four days off for the next three weeks straight between grinding out commissions and going out of town.)

I also kept working on the scarf this week, and I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of it. I did a little more knitting off-stream and managed to figure out the perfect hooking technique! It should be smooth sailing from here on out. (Fingers crossed!)

I also played *Layers of Fear* and just realized the 2023 version is actually a remake. Honestly though, I didn't feel like the graphics looked all that different? Maybe it’s just because I wasn't the one playing the original version back in the day, so I don't have a strong frame of reference. Who knows. I've made it to the Actor's chapter so far, and I'm really liking the adapted sections and the new systems! The funny thing is, as I was playing, I realized I’d basically forgotten the entire storyline for the Actor, so experiencing it all over again feels brand new.

With the end of the year coming up, I thought I was just going to be "a little busy," but it turns out I'm totally slammed. Make sure you Little Cottons remember to take care of your health while you're grinding through your own busy schedules! Speaking of health, my canker sore is finally pretty much healed—time to celebrate!

I did start reading a new novel this week, but I haven't gotten too far into it yet. I'll be sure to share some recommendations with you guys once I've read more!

Well, that just about wraps it up for this week's journal. Catch you all next week! Goodnight!
