🌙 MESSAGE OF THE DAY 🌙

🎭 DELAYED PLANS, FAILED EXPERIMENTS & A MOUNTAIN OF PENDING SETS~ 🎭

Sometimes the Temple's greatest enemy isn't destiny... it's a stubborn LoRA and an overflowing task list. Hehe~

╚═══.·:💀🖤 🌟 🖤💀:·.═══╝

Mortals!

Message of the day~ 🖤

First of all, apologies for the delay...

It's been a... difficult day?

I'm honestly not sure whether difficult is the right word, but I wouldn't exactly call it a long day either. Just difficult, I suppose...

And it all started with a certain green-haired menace.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🦉 THE LILY EXPERIMENT THAT NEVER HAPPENED~ 🦉

I originally planned to release a set featuring Lily from Duolingo.

You know, with all the attention she's been getting lately, I wanted to make my own version of her. I even had a little Trick or Treat concept in mind!

In November, of all months...

That's entirely my fault. Hehe...

But... I could never get her to work properly.

She didn't look quite right, and honestly, something about the results felt strange. She was recognizable, yes, but she didn't really resemble her official appearance. It was an odd combination of styles that simply didn't come together.

So, for now, I'll put that idea aside.

Once I'm back, I'll visit my trusted little LoRA marketplace and see if someone else has managed to accomplish what I couldn't.

Perhaps someone out there has already found the secret to making Lily cooperate. Hehe~

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎃 SO, WHAT'S COMING NEXT? 🎃

For now, I'll be postponing today's set a little.

It'll arrive late because I haven't quite decided which one to release yet.

I actually have several possibilities waiting, and each comes with its own little complications.

First: Blackfire's Trick or Treat set!

I've been thinking about giving this one a mini-story of approximately 50 pages.

I honestly have no idea how it'll end yet. It started as a short joke I came up with, which I liked enough to write down.

But then I thought...

Why stop at the joke?

I wanted to write something more with these characters instead of simply making an entire set around that one punchline.

And now that little idea has turned into a short story. Hehe~

Second: The surprise set that was supposed to arrive on October 31st.

I think the subject is fairly obvious...

I didn't want to spoil the surprise, especially because it features a character I had previously lost but managed to recover!

And the set is actually turning out rather lovely.

I'm really looking forward to showing you this one~

Third: Another set that was supposed to arrive during the same week as the Halloween set.

But then the business trip happened.

I got sick, became busy with other responsibilities, and practically everything got pushed aside.

Only now am I finally getting back into my usual workflow.

And these last two were both separate surprise sets, apart from the other projects I've been mentioning lately!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📋 THE TEMPLE'S CURRENT PENDING LIST~ 📋

So, just to give you an idea of what I'm currently trying to finish, here's the little mountain of work waiting for me:

1. 🎃 Halloween surprise set.

2. 🔒 Locktober surprise set.

3. 👻 Trick or Treat mini-set.

4. 🖤 Commission set.

5. 🖤 Another commission set.

6. ⚔️ The pending second part of Kirito's set.

And there's one rather important detail...

ALL OF THESE SETS INCLUDE TEXT.

Yes, every single one.

That's precisely why I've been so insistent on working through them and why they've been taking so much of my attention.

It's not just a matter of generating images and uploading everything. There's writing, editing, organizing, and making sure the whole thing actually comes together.

I know I've been repeating myself quite a lot about the pending work, but I really want to get these offerings out of the way and finally return to a more comfortable schedule.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💀 A LITTLE TOO MUCH WORK FOR ONE PRIESTESS~ 💀

For now, I'll try to survive my earthly duties, finish at least one set for today's upload, and hopefully have the first of these pending projects ready by tomorrow.

At the very latest, the day after tomorrow.

That's the plan, anyway...

And honestly, I spent practically the entire morning fighting with Lily. By the time I realized how late it had gotten, I had absolutely nothing complete to show you.

I could have uploaded some samples, of course...

But I really didn't want to spoil the surprise of who won the Halloween offering.

Just like I did with Venti during the summer!

Some things are much more enjoyable when you get to discover them without knowing what's coming. Hehe~

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

And well...

I'll leave things here for now.

I just looked at the time, and once again I'm surprised by how quickly the day managed to disappear.

I really need to get back to work before another idea, another LoRA, or another earthly responsibility decides to steal the rest of my evening.

Thank you for your patience, Mortals.

There's quite a lot waiting to be released, and despite all these delays, I'm genuinely excited to finally share these projects with you.

Hopefully, the next message will come with an actual finished set instead of another report from the battlefield. 💀

Now then!

Without anything else to add!
