My Hero Moment?

I don't know about that. Maybe yesterday, but then again ... here's where I'm stuck now:

I keep feeling like I'm making progress, but also keep getting stuck - or maybe dragged back - on the impression that I've made none whatsoever. So, at long last the suspicion keeps mounting, that the more You engage with the nonsense, the more You feed it.

With the Squidfire/Glyph of Cleaning (??) I'm not sure, but 'cutting the vein' to release pressure from "the Fang Knot" definitely seems to have helped. Brute Forcing some things away also seemed to do something, but then I was back at the usual nonsense. There would still be nonsense going on - stressors and stuff - and no amount of tearing and prying, whether shit would come off or not, seemed to get me much further.

At long last I started to focus on this thing stuck to my spine/lower body, which would basically be a horse stuck to my back - being like a Centaur or perhaps the Scorpion King. So, "starving the thing out" ... I don't know. I felt like the thing would have me starve out.
But with enough wrestling and cutting and tearing - I started to encounter more and more Scorpions that would either sit inside me, inside of Squids or inside of other Scorpions. And they are kind of nasty. And I'm not sure how much of it is Squid Nonsense, like, if there's a way to tell whether they're dead or just playing dead - but Scorpions are complicated I guess. But they seem to come in two shapes. There's "Trojans" ... which have Scorpions in them and there's "Trons" which have some kind of Crystal in them. Splitting the Crystal in half seems to do a trick. Otherwise it would seem You have to fry their entire Nervous System at once.


Overall I feel like I got nothing; And because of it, I feel like a cat chasing its own tail. At this point it seems to become a habit that pushes me to bed.
