yes, she’s hilarious, arguably one of the funniest characters in the game. but please never ever forget that queen deltarune is so very kind. when noelle stands up to her, instead of pushing things further, she backs down, acknowledges that her assumptions were incorrect, and tells her to instead choose the world that would make her happy. on the weird route, she doesn’t even go through with making her be her peon anymore, worried enough about her health to just make her rest instead. berdly annoys her, yes, but she still concernedly warns him that removing her plug will injure him if he tries to do it himself, still searches for him everywhere on the weird route. if you recruited nobody from cyber city, she seemingly tries to hide it, but she’s very obviously sad that none of her citizens are there to enjoy castle town with her. even some of her goofier bits, like her concern over the lightners being potassium deficient or their browser-search themed rooms, imply a degree of care for them on her part.

queen calls off her plan as soon as ralsei explains the roaring to her, and that’s because her motivation was never something that stemmed from cruelty. she was misguided in her approach, yes, but it was nonetheless a plan born out of a desire for nobody to ever have to suffer again after witnessing that suffering firsthand.

Interrupting our theme of musicians to bring you a fashion icon:

Richmond Rockson from Germany! These are the pics I saved as personal inspiration as I rebuild my closet with masc fashion, but he has tons of gorgeous androgynous looks! 😍

most recent windows 11 update is wiping SSDs

there's been multiple reports of people's computers not booting properly after the windows 11 24H2 KB5063878 update due to it essentially wiping the hard drives (specifically SSDs) on computers and laptops. users have reported their SSDs aren't able to be read/recognized and unable to be seen in bios settings either.

sources: - https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/08/20/microsoft-is-investigating-windows-11-kb5063878-ssd-data-corruption-failure-issue/ - https://www.nichepcgamer.com/archives/windows11-24h2-issue-with-writing-to-the-ssd-is-this-caused-by-kb5063878-kb5062660.html

it's safe to assume all SSDs can be potentially affected by this update, so if you haven't updated yet turn off autoupdates

the bug caused by this update is seemingly triggered by installing/moving/deleting large files (50+ gb), which as simmers is what a lot of us do very pften

if you're unsure what windows version you currently have:

go to settings > system > about (at they very bottom) > and scroll down to see the current OS version

if you do currently have windows 11 24H2:

in settings, click 'Windows update' > 'Update history' > and under 'Quality Updates' check to see if the KB5063878 update is in the list of recently installed updates

don't panic, you can uninstall this update!

while in 'Update History', scroll to the very bottom and click 'Uninstall updates', and click 'Uninstall' for 'Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5063878)'

from there, give it some time to remove the update and after pause updates for as long as possible (5 weeks is the longest i think), but it will force an update if there's a big/official update for the fix

if you've already been affected and your computer is not starting or giving errors regarding your hard drive, i recommend visiting small pc repair shops to try data recovery as some have reported placing their SSD in an enclosure seems to work to recover the data

hopefully this is helpful is any kind of way! friendly reminder to back up your data to an external drive routinely!

imagine you're some guy and you're going through the woods one day and you stumble upon a house and the people who live there just give you free food and eventually let you inside and it's like nothing you've ever seen before and the people are so nice and loving towards you and then one day they decide to never let you leave again, steal your balls, and give you a stupid fucking hair cut

I genuinely think the idea that if you should draw a little every day or you'll suffer skill degradation is a total fabrication. Some of the best art I've ever drawn has been coming back from long breaks. I'm talking like weeks. Sometimes you just gotta reset and flush the systems. There's no shame in it. Take breaks. The art will be there for you when you're ready.
