Released another AJ Classic video! In this one, I got a little pet seahorse, I did the tutorial for the adventures, and I did several rounds of Best Dressed.

[magical-illune]

Bonus episode of The Huntress of the Hollow, in which I get Ending D (which I missed) and explore the Bonus Room!

This was such a fun LP! I loved the game's pink dark fairytale aesthetic.

[magical-illune]

More nostalgia incoming! I decided to play Animal Jam's Bitter Sweets Halloween event adventure for my Spooky Month series, and since I'm no longer a kid, I actually had the patience to complete it!

My goals for this episode were to trade for a cool pet (once again, thank you, Wolpis, for trading me that joey!) and to play Bitter Sweets. I accomplished both! I also considered playing Best Dressed, but I think that would be better suited for a different video.

[magical-illune]

so I decided to revisit Animal Jam, a kiddy mmo I used to play, because I really don't have anything better to do

it was fun!

(this doesn't count for my Spooky Month series)

[magical-illune]

Time to end this lupine threat once and for all!

In this video, I complete The Huntress of the Hollow, getting all of the remaining endings except for Ending D. I'll be doing Ending D, as well as exploring the Bonus Room, in a bonus episode.

This game is part of my Spooky Month playthrough series, in which I'll be playing as many short, spooky games as possible in October. Okay, some videos were recorded in late September, but still!

Little shout-out to Wolpis on Animal Jam:

THANK YOU for trading me that kangaroo pet! I love her so much, and to be honest, I really didn't want to play through Bitter Sweets with a plain ol' hamster. Without you, the video wouldn't have been nearly as fun!

(And to my viewers: Animal Jam videos coming soon! I'm planning on releasing part two of The Huntress of the Hollow and part one of Animal Jam tomorrow, since only the Huntress video counts for the Spooky Month series)

[magical-illune]

Yay, all my videos are back up! It seems like my channel being removed for twenty minutes was part of a larger thing, as I've seen a few headlines about it on the internet.

There will be no new video today, but I'm hoping to upload one tomorrow!

Also, I've decided to start making a series about a nostalgic kiddy MMO I played in elementary school: Animal Jam! It's very cute, and also, of all the kiddy MMOs I used to play (LPSO, Pixie Hollow, Bearville, and AJ), AJ is the only one left. I've recorded the first video already, and I've been grinding a bit offscreen. The series will most likely be updated sporadically, and it doesn't count toward my Spooky Month series.

I already have some ideas of things to record in AJ, but if you guys have any suggestions, feel free to comment them! This is a massive nostalgia trip for me, and I feel like I need it after yesterday's stress.

look at the cute little edgy seal I made!!

[magical-illune]

so even though i'm having issues with youtube, i'm still recording videos because it makes me happy

and i started recording videos of this kiddy mmo i used to play as an elementary schooler: Animal Jam (it's the only one left)

But whenever I play it, it makes me want to write a fanfic where the animals you can play as with a free account are second-class citizens oppressed by the animals you can play as with a paid account, and the rules imposed by the game are discriminatory laws: for example, the f2p animals can only buy certain things or live in certain houses, and some businesses won't admit them at all

and meanwhile, there's this forever war going on with the phantoms, but nobody at home seems to care, which angers the soldiers

i have weird thoughts

[magical-illune]

i appealed, and about twenty minutes after my channel was removed, it was put back up...

however, several of my videos have been removed, including my most recent one, and i have no idea why. i'm going to continue to look into this, but until i can get things back to normal, consider my spooky month series, as well as all of my other LPs, on hold.

what the fuck?

i'm in shock

youtube has removed my channel, saying that i violated the spam/scam policy

i never spammed or scammed anyone

i don't understand why this is happening. bad AI falsely flagging me? someone falsely reporting me for malicious reasons? probably the former tbh

i'm appealing this as we speak, but i'm not sure if i can ever get my channel back. i'm so sorry, guys. i just don't know what i did wrong.

Next up in my Spooky Month playthrough series is a dark fairytale RPG called The Huntress of the Hollow!

I love the graphics and how much it feels like a real fairytale. It's free, so give it a try!

[magical-illune]

Time for the (rather disturbing) conclusion of Heavenly Martyr!

Heavenly Martyr is a short, freeware horror RPG that I found on itch.io. It was made for the sixth Magical Girl Game Jam in 2022, and it's about a girl who dies abruptly and is given the chance to come back as a Martyr in order to purge the world of evil. I really enjoyed LPing it!

(This is part of my Spooky Month series, in which I release as many LPs of short, spooky games as I can in October)

[magical-illune]

And so my Spooky Month series of LPs begins!

I'm starting off with Heavenly Martyr, a dark magical girl RPG.

[magical-illune]

Here's an announcement!

Since October is Spooky Month, I won't be doing my regular LPs that month; instead, I'll be uploading videos of as many short, spooky games as I can record!

These games range from just a bit spooky to outright disturbing, and I'll be putting warnings at the beginning of disturbing videos.

In order to have at least one video ready by October 1st, I've already finished recording the first LP: a short horror RPG about magical girls called Heavenly Martyr!

In total, it's two episodes long (though the second episode is only twenty minutes in total).

Ideally, I'll release a video every day of October, but that probably won't happen. Still, I want to release as many videos as I can.

I have a list of games I want to try, but if you guys have any suggestions, feel free to comment! I'm looking for mostly short creepy freeware games I haven't played/watched before, preferably RPG/exploration stuff.

[magical-illune]

I found a copy of Pokémon Gold at a used media store!!

Pokémon HeartGold was my first mainline game, so I’m excited to play the original

[magical-illune]

Time for more Nuzlocke!

Sorry for the wait, everyone! I was busy writing stuff, and it took forever to motivate myself to edit the recording.

Anyway, in this video, as the title says, I don't encounter a Blitzle :(

The rules of my Nuzlocke are as follows: if a Pokémon faints it is considered dead and can never be used again, I can only catch the first Pokémon I encounter in each route/area, and I must nickname every Pokémon I get/catch. If I run out of Pokémon (all the mons in my party and PC die), then it's GAME OVER.

This is my first real attempt at a Nuzlocke, so I bet I'll have a lot of losses...

This video actually represents where I am in the game right now! If you have any suggestions for nicknames or strategy tips, please tell me! It's been a while since I last played this game, and besides, interactions give me life.

The fourth part of my nuzlocke is out, in which I catch another Patrat, defeat lots of Plasma grunts, and insult a bunch of little preschoolers while crushing their dreams and taking their money :D

Keep in mind that this video doesn't represent where I currently am in the playthrough; as of right now, I'm in Nacrene City. Still, if you have any suggestions for nicknames or strategy tips, please tell me! It's been a while since I last played this game, and besides, interactions give me life.
