God, I love my neighborhood, we're so weird and dramatic.

777 S. State St.: In the middle of this sidewalk is a raised, pitted section. It is located in front of 9Round Kickboxing Fitness and is just around the corner from an apartment building. Across the street and about half a block north is Jones College Prep, making this a tripping hazard for students and residents in this South Loop area.

You can report any hazardous sidewalks in the greater Chicagoland area by calling 311 or visiting 311.chicago.gov for more details. If you have any pictures of dangerous sidewalks, you can tweet them to @redlineproject on Twitter.

Man catches coyote following him as he walks dog in Chicago's South Loop

CHICAGO (CBS) — A man was just walking his dog down the street in the South Loop recently, when a coyote started following him. Austin Ehle was visiting from out of town, and taking his sister’s dog, Cheddar, out for a walk last week. When he first noticed the coyote, he thought it was just […]

(late) Good morning!

[ID: A wooden bar in front of a window, looking out on the sidewalk; sitting on the bar are a paper cup of tea, a plate with a large cookie on it, and a pair of (discolored, don't judge me, life is hard) earbuds. It looks like a lovely weekend morning snack.]

There's a new coffee shop in my neighborhood, and I've been meaning to check it out for a while since it looked like it had a lot of good places to sit and work, and while I love going to the library to work on weekends, the study rooms there are super booked full right now. I thought I'd see how I did sitting at the "window bar" and it turns out it's great! I'm not super enamored of the macaroon I got (it's fine, just nothing special) and not a coffee drinker so can't judge that, but the tea and the ambiance are both excellent.

But also like. In the first forty-five minutes of sitting at the bar in the window, I encountered a friend who lives in the neighborhood passing by, a friend who does NOT live in the neighborhood but was down here for the farmer's market and came in to get a coffee, and also a total stranger from Rome who saw me in my AS Roma jacket and came over to introduce himself because he was so stunned to see a Roma fan in Chicago.

Him: Excuse me? I'm from Rome, and I can't believe I see a Roma logo --

Me: AH! DAJE ROMA!

Him: *HUGE BEAM* OH YOU ARE A ROMANIST!

He had thought I might not know what I was wearing, and was so pleased to meet an actual fan. He ended up asking for a selfie with me because his friends didn't believe he'd found an AS Roma fan in midwestern America. :D So I've just blown the minds of a couple of Romanisti, and also got a nice compliment on both my taste in football teams and my pronunciation of Daje (dai-yay!) Roma.

I do love my neighborhood. Sometimes I think I should sell up and move out far enough to be able to afford a real house with a yard and get rid of all the stress that comes with living in a crowded downtown city center, but then I spend a morning out in the South Loop and remember why I put up with all that.

ISAT fans. Hollow Knight fans. Do you see my vision

ramblings of how would isat lore get adapted to hk's world below; spoilers for both obviously

edit: Part 2 with Odile and Bonnie here! and Part 3 with Isabeau and Mirabelle here!

edit: part 4 with (Redacted) and Mal Du Pays!

Since there's no surface in HK's lore, the best thing to get for Universe worship is probably the Dream Realm, since it's the only place with seemingly sky light. One thing connected to the other, and it just felt fitting to have Siffrin be moth tribe and Loop a mini-Radiance.

Instead of what goes down in Hallownest, there are thousands of minor moth gods from bug-Island North of Vaugarde; they don't really have the Radiance's power and thus can manifest in the waking world just fine. Also unlike Hallownest, there's no rivalrly between Dream and Nightmare; but since the former still would manifest as flames, it could still be interesting for an AU replacement of Red.

In Bug-gaurde (heh), the Change God equivalent is probably a chill higher being like Unn and the Lifeblood entity, but pale-themed so everyone's shades still stay similar to the original game and Siffrin doesn't look out of place despite wearing something slightly yellow-y. Godseeker would be SO pissed if they showed up here, no available gods would care about attuning any more than regular worship lmao

I'm rusty on HK lore though, so just shallow ideas. I'm sure someone that's more into both games together would know how to better work with them lmao
