Not to complain about the weather again, but the top temp we hit last week was 31°C in town. That was around a week ago, and was the peak of it, but ughhhhhhh. I think prolonged heat is worse than a few days of abnormal heat. It's cooler now, and it did actually rain overnight last night (after two days of being promised rain and it not happening), so everything feels 900% better now.

# I wrote and posted the first art supply review for my ko-fi!
I'm planning on putting two of these up a month, since they're not very long*, and there's plenty of things (for now) that I can talk about.
I'm also going to put together some posts that anyone can access without having to pay for, because I thought the topic of at least one might be interesting, and also I know how irritating it is to click a link you want to read, only to discover it is paywalled.
And I did some more print tests yesterday, so a shop update will be coming soon! I am also going to update my redbubble store with some stuff as well, but I'll link to that when I've done it.
# I tried my Redbush tea and...I did not like it. It was certainly nicer than the Tetley one, but it tasted, looked, and smelt too much like black tea for my liking.
I also had some Blackcurrant and Blueberry tea, which was okay (miles better than the Redbush), but tasted too much of blackcurrant. Like, if I wanted hot blackcurrant, I'd drink Ribena. I am now onto Cherry and Cinnamon, which I've had before, and is lovely.
# Got a spoilery theory for Ni no Kuni, which I'm going to post now before it gets disproven!
So remember how I said that Oliver's mum, Allie, has a counterpart in Drippy's world called Alicia, and she was a powerful mage?
Okay, well, at some point in the past, Alicia was taken prisoner and/or banished by Shadar (one of the bad guys). Welp. There's a cutscene after you encounter Shadar for the first time, where he tells the White Witch that Alicia won't be a problem any more. Now. This is probably just because she's unable to act, wherever she is, right?
Except that: Drippy was travelling with Alicia in the past, which you learn when you visit Mam at the Fairyground. Drippy came to Oliver's world when Oliver was much younger than he is now. Allie told Oliver she made Drippy (as a doll), but Drippy says he was cursed by Shadar.
WHAT IF Oliver's mum was actually Alicia, and she and Allie swapped places?
It's mentioned at the start of the game that Allie has a weak heart, and maybe that's because she's trying to exist in a world where she doesn't belong? I thought at first it was because her and Alicia's link as soulmates had been severed, which Shadar also did...somehow. BUT MAYBE NOT?
OH YEAH AND I JUST LEARNT THAT MAGE POWERS ARE HEREDITARY! When you encounter Marcassin after the Porco Grosso fight, Drippy and Esther say about how he must have inherited powers from his father (who was a Sage, like Alicia), because that's how it works. That would explain how Oliver knows how to use magic, right? Because being from a non-magical world, he shouldn't, should he? Unless of course, it is some weird quirk of Chosen One-ness which, ugh, I hope not.
Like I say, I don't know if any of this is right or not or if, as I often do, I am putting the clues together wrongly. Oh well, we'll see once I finish the game (if I do). Also if you have played it, or know the plot at all, DO NOT tell me if I'm right or not. I want to see this play out for myself, thank you very much.

*They were originally intended to be audio posts, but I kept putting it off because I feel self-conscious about recording myself. So now they're just short text posts.
