Hey everyone!
So, it's time to vote on the monthly fluff piece! The finished work will be somewhere from 700-1200 words in length, and be published sometime next week.
This vote closes November 1st at 7pm Eastern Standard Time.
2025-10-28 22:57:11 +0000 UTC View PostNo 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 will touch on Arc 3, some potential rewrites, and a new Patreon benefit!

2025-10-08 15:40:43 +0000 UTC View PostWe interrupt your regularly scheduled Silksong to bring you art of our own Dame Elizabeth Tousavon, courtesy of Grimmjeow!
The full art is for patrons only... this does include the Supporters tier, which is two dolla...
2025-09-10 19:43:13 +0000 UTC View PostRot, 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 talk,” I say instead, working my jaw.
Verity cocks her head to regard me —with one ey...

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...

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 gives way to thickening scales. There is a base, snarling temptation to lunge and leap and tear...
2025-08-19 00:47:16 +0000 UTC View PostAnother 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 has been quite positive! People seem to love Verity, which is great, because she's sticking a...
2025-08-08 21:13:21 +0000 UTC View PostDawn 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 eyes and roll out of bed, swinging my tail around to speed up the motion. A flicker of Wind throws ...
2025-08-05 12:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostContent 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.
So, no. I do not want to care about this.
“Now I don't mean to offend, my lord, but we all ...
2025-07-29 00:37:46 +0000 UTC View PostThere 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 to quell my thoughts. My worries, released through the flexing and swinging of my tail, only to rise...

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 definitely be fielding ideas for how to engage my audience here and elsewhere more. Y'all are pretty c...
2025-07-19 18:31:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe 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 assuming I’m making the right estimates, we have maybe a minute until it arrives. I tell Verity as mu...

At five hundred marches of Delve depth, the pressure is enough to crush an unprepared human soul. With no magic to prop itself up, it collapses inward and crumbles, leaving little behind but spent flesh. It's the depth where most Mages feel short of ...
2025-07-01 13:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey 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. Patreon supporters of the Mageblood tier and higher will get their chapters the day before.

2025-06-28 22:37:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe 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 little trick with Wind siphons the extra heat from my body, cooling my muscles and hopefully slowin...
2025-06-26 20:00:43 +0000 UTC View PostWhen 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 through the rising steam. My tongue sharpens under the magic flow, tasting wet air and a hint of my own ...
2025-06-26 15:38:04 +0000 UTC View Post“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 banished. With Wind gathering around my claws, I run a hand through my tied-up hair. Green ink gathe...
2025-06-24 14:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostMy 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 night.
I steady myself, hoping that heartbeat of indecision hadn’t startled anyone or ...
2025-06-17 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostCelebrating 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.
Q: Ivy Crawford: Did you try out any other fighting styles before settling on augmenting yourself with magic and punching things?
A: Hah. Gods, yes, I can't even begin to make a list. Co...

He won't escape me, of that I am confident. This is my city, even after years away.
He hasn't even made it halfway down the hall to the exit by the time I've made my way out— but he is prepared for my arrival.
... 2025-05-27 14:00:14 +0000 UTC View Post“...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 master plan. But Gelson isn’t gruff, and she's already laid out her plan, so now I'm here explainin...
2025-05-20 16:20:40 +0000 UTC View Post“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 Tracer, leaning in. “If you're wondering, I didn't sense Helena's enchantment anywhere when I was ...

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!

2025-05-03 18:25:40 +0000 UTC View PostUnfortunately, 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 time and little to do with it.
While there are no chairs for tailed people like myself, there’s...
2025-04-30 06:01:37 +0000 UTC View PostIt’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. A Mage might lie in wait, and we will reveal them. Our thief might have an advantage I cannot pred...

Grimm was a pleasure to work with on this project. Expect, eventually, art of Helena and several other characters in this style!

2025-04-20 17:25:19 +0000 UTC View PostAfter 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 midnight running around the Manor. Admittedly, that last one was my fault. They didn't even have pa...
2025-04-16 13:49:14 +0000 UTC View Post"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.”
I can’t help but snicker, using bread to mop up the remnants of my stew. I’ll have to get the recipe from the cook; there’s an odd tang to this one that I’d like in more of my fo...
2025-04-14 04:34:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe 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.
Doesn't stop me from going to the stables to grab some maple candy, though. The servant doesn't even try to stop me this time! Or try to escort me,...
2025-04-10 13:50:23 +0000 UTC View PostWe 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 even put on that thing?
I follow Ulrich down the hall, step over four different...
