My Current Lore: A Look Into August ₊˚⊹ ᰔ

August 21st 2026:

⛧°. ⋆༺☾𖤓༻⋆. °⛧

Welcome back to another completely unnecessary but very important update from the Kaylvang Universe.

It is Friday. Work is painfully dead. My audiobook is playing through my Airpods. I have a low-grade migraine and aura, but my pain and sensory issues are behaving themselves today, so honestly? Ya girl is thriving.

I figured there was no better time to document my current lore. A look inside my August.

Someday Future Me is going to look back at August 2026 and wonder what in the world I was up to.

So Future Me: Here you go. You're welcome, girl. ♥

The Book Lore:

This month, I spent time with:

♡ Beautiful Ugly - Alice Feeney

♡ Daisy Darker - Alice Feeney

♡ Julie Chan is Dead - Lian Zhang

♡ The Unknown - Riley Sager

♡ The Murders at the Black Cat Cafe - Seishi Yokozimo

♡ How to Sell a Haunted House - Grady Hendrix, which I have literally just started.

My favourite book of the month is, obviously The Unknown by Riley Sager.

That book is still living rent free in my brain.

Solid 10/10.

Would recommend reading it. Would NOT recommend doing a seance.

Most of the other books are sitting around an extremely respectful 8.5/10 because apparently I have become a tiny little critic with standards for my literature or something.

BUT The Unknown?

10/10 baybeeee.

And yes, I am currently listening to How to Sell a Haunted House while writing this. Because obviously I cannot simply write a blog. I need a soundtrack...a haunted one.

The Beverage Lore:

The matcha factory remains open.

Today's creation was a chocolate chip cookie matcha, made with my own recipe, because I have reached the stage in my life where I casually invent specialty matchas. 

I also got a Boston Cream donut and an ice cap from Robin's Donuts.

The donut deserves it's own damn paragraph. I am still stupidly obsessed with donuts. This one in particular. 

I would haunt this world to get one.

Honestly, if you ever see my ghost wandering around after death, don't be afraid. I probably just heard someone say the had my donut. The donut. Boston Cream from Robins.

I am also still forcing my love to participate in my specialty matcha experiments. He drinks them while I stare...waiting for the "Delicious" and "Better than Starbucks" comments.

This is love. ♡

The Soundtrack Lore:

I have been listening to an unreasonable amount of honestav & mgk.

Currently, Crash First by both of them is my favourite song. And, of course, I continue to beat Semi Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind into the ground every single day. And have been since 1997.

Somethings are so hardwired and too powerful to abandon.

The Creature Lore:

Bast and Coops have been doing the big chill and the big cook.

The household is peaceful.

The cats are spoiled.

The Churros, Greenies and Catnip be flowin'.

Coops has also recently learned to sit while receiving a treat. Which raise an important question: Is this cat or a dog?? Because at this point, I am beginning to suspect we have accidently adopted a very fluffy dog wearing a cat costume.

Either way, they are doing amazing.

Here is my cat tax:

The Tiny Lore:

The tiny friends continue to come out on weekends.

There haven't been any new adventures since my last blog, but they remain important members of our household and will make an appearance here because they deserve photographic representation.

They are patiently waiting for their next expedition.

For now, they be resting. Tiny friends deserve weekends off too. 

The Brain Lore:

My brain currently has about 750 tabs open. Loading...Please be patient.

I am obsessed with:

Elden Ring, Big Walk, Overwatch, Fortnite, Audiobooks, Matcha, My cats, Critters, Finding good movies to watch and of course my loving partner.

And honestly, I am just having a lot of fun finding things to be excited about. 

My current hobby seems to be collecting hobbies.

I will probably acquire another one shortly.

The Side Quest Lore:

Today's side quest: Getting my bloodwork done at 2PM cuz ya girl is still sick.

Will the labs be normal? Fuck, probably.

Will I be surprised? Absolutely not.

Will I show up and do the side quest regardless? Yes.

Because this is the plot line we've been assigned.

The Good Day Lore:

It's Friday! Work is dead. My pain and sensory issues are relatively low despite the low-grade migraine and aura I've got going on.

And, I am just really, really excited for the weekend.

I get to spend time with my love, hangout with ours cats, do our little activities, drink matcha, play games, watch movies and just exist together.

Nothing in particular is happening and maybe that's why it feels so good.

You know, sometimes it's just:

Friday.

A quiet workday. An audiobook playing. A drink you really like. Your cats and someone you love waiting at home for you. And just the feeling of the weekend ahead of you.

That is enough. ♥

The Plot Lore:

There have been some new development in my universe lately.

First: My pharmacy gave me the wrong magnesium medication and I have unbeknownst to me, taking FIVE TIMES the daily allotted amount.

HAHAHAHAHAH. fuck. lol.

Oops?

I genuinely could not make this shit up, even if I tried.

Secondly: Work is so dead and has been ALL week. So instead of pretending to be productive, I am sitting here writing a blog.

My audiobook is playing. How to Sell a Haunted is providing the current sound track.

Honestly? No complaints here.

The Current Lore:

If I had to summarize the current version of me in three completely random things:

I am still ridiculously kind. I love people. I love doing things that make people happy. I love finding happy moments and passing them along. I think there is something really special about making someone's day just a tiny bit better.

I am aggressively trinket obsessed. If it is tiny and cute, it's probably coming home with me. I don't make the rules, just enforce them.

I secretly look like Satoru Gojo. Okay. Here me outtt. Are you hearing me out?

I am always wearing my round sunglasses because Chronic Migraine Things™, and let's be honest. Put me in the right lighting and I have achieved approximately 15% more Gojo. 

This is my truth. This is my legacy.

So, that brings me to where things are at now.

August 2026.

A ridiculous number of audiobooks.

Too much honestav & mgk.

Semi Charmed Life on repeat.

Specialty Matchas.

Boston Cream donuts.

Four million video games.

Tiny friends waiting for their next adventure.

Two cats living their best lives.

A loving partner.

A suspicious amount of magnesium.

And a girl in round sunglasses, documenting all of it.

Maybe that's what I like about these little updates.

Life doesn't need to be a grand story. Sometimes it's just a collection of tiny things happening all at once.

And right now? I think my collection is pretty cute. ♥

Okay, okay, okay. End of lore.

Please check back later for new side quests, questionable financial decisions, tiny adventures, and probably another matcha recipe.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you again,
