After realizing he's gay I see Victor is finally starting to notice other things that are gay. But seriously it has been nice to see his evolution. Turnip is back! And now I'm once again thinking of comparisons with Dracula in how they never really dig into it, but the heroes do use religious items that they personally don't believe in.

Looking forward to the return to the Roman ruins.

Also yeah, I haven't been keen on some of the latest substack changes or the pattern they suggest, but thankfully nothing that impacts the core experience of getting stuff in my inbox and reading there. I'm sticking with Notes still, but making a note of where the exit is and sitting a bit closer to it. A network of writers talking to writers was exactly what I wanted, stop making everything for everyone.

Yeah I’m really glad the basic functionality of Substack is so simple but it’s crazy how much even the writer dashboard has gotten worse since I started using it - they never used to have these large, manipulative view count arrows at the top of the page for instance

Oh yeah I forgot about the dashboard changes, really didn't like those. I set up a bookmark to go right to the posts section so I don't see those stats every time I want to write, tumblr taught me about getting around annoying web design. Feels very much intended to create an infinite growth mindset.

I'm so insanely proud of Victor! Always a treat to see someone overcome their internalized homophobia! 🥳

Can't wait to see Alistair again! Keep up the good work!
