UGH! I am SO SORRY!! Looking at the last post I made, it felt like I left you guys on a wire! I hate doing that so much. I legit was going to post back in January, but so many things came up with work and gaming news that the time got away from me. I'm also working on another project with my Blog Editor, but I'll get to that in minute. I guess this post is mainly just to show you that I did not abandon the blog and that I'm not dead for that matter. Since I'm back on here, it would only make sense that I get you guys caught up in my life from the past five to six months.
I'll start in January first, only makes sense to do so. Christmas was fantastic as always and I got to spend some very nice quality time with my friends and family. Especially with my Sis, who's going on a galactic journey with Rosalina until the end of the year, so I won't be seeing her for a while. Then post New Years came along and that's when 2019 took a dive for me. While I was staying with the Bros. at their house, I get a frantic phone call from Edward saying that there was huge outbreak in Piranha Plants of all things throughout Isle Delfino. Mario and Luigi wanted to help so much, but they had their own projects they had to attend to. So being the patriotic yet stupid Princess I am, I decided that I would be fine taking on the Plants by myself for "the sake of my kingdom" or something like that. I get home and sure enough those suckers were everywhere, with vines weaving in and out of the ground and buildings, even in the surrounding ocean! I tried to get a grasp of what happened, and apparently it had something to do with the weather last year. It was hotter than usual in the late summer and fall seasons which left a lot of the existing Piranha Plants to retreat underground for shade, and I guess since they were all left festering in one place for so long that once it started to cool down their population just exploded out from where they were hiding. It was extremely similar to a bad insect infestation, and like an infestation they were NOT FUN to deal with! It felt like I was fighting a Hydra or something, you get rid of one head somewhere and in another place more sprout up to replace it! This... war essentially, lasted for a couple months until mid March, when the weather was starting to warm up for Spring. By then the Bros. were done with whatever they were doing and came over to help me on the island to start pushing the Plants back to where they were coming from. They had some sort of nest in Bianco Hills and we were able to finally put an end to it. I felt SO relieved once we beat them all, I actually needed a vacation to break the stress, and I LIVE on a vacation site!
Of course I couldn't sit down for very long. Not only is it the start of vacation season as I'm typing this, but the dumb Plant Gang wrecked the foundation of many buildings around the island. Luckily none of the bigger locales like Pinna Park and Hotel Delfino weren't affected too much, they just needed their landscaping repaired. The Plaza had seen better days though... yeesh. I'm surprised the Shine Sprites didn't scatter as bad as I thought they would, I mean the Shine Gate was okay but still. So yeah, that basically took up most of my time for late March through April, with some help from various parties though the island is back to normal and the Shines are back where they belong, for now. After I made sure everything was back in order, I FINALLY took some downtime, and take a wild guess where I did that! Unfortunately just as I thought I caught a break, whole new can of worms exploded one day when I was with Luigi, but I'll save that story for another day. In short, Bowser tried to kidnap us with a new trick, we were stuck at his place for a night and Mario had to get us, it sucked.
Anyways, back onto a happier note, I've got a very exciting project in the works with my Blog Editor! It's still in the designing phase right now, but we are making *drum roll*... MY OWN FANGAME!! Yes! We are working together to create a fun fangame that will star me, PomPom, and all my friends! There may not be any working betas right now, but if you guys want a peek and what we're doing, I'll leave a link to my Blog Editor's portfolio on Artstation below! Get excited guys, I just know you'll like it! It's been a blast working on it so far too! We don't really have a concrete release date, but I'll keep you guys posted on it's progress.
All right, I think I've made up for all that lost time. If not I'll just have to make a few more posts than usual in June and July, but MAN I hope your 2019 was better than mine so far you guys, seriously! The real MVP of all this nonsense was PomPom, poor thing! I dragged her around everywhere I went for the past five months, non-stop it seemed like, and not once did she complain. That precious squish-bean puts up with way more than I realize! I love you PomPom! I'll make it up to you! Anyway guys, blog ya soon, and be sure to check out the link to the portfolio!
