MHRise Amon
Posted on: June 1, 2021
It’s been a while since I jumped back into MHRise with Amon, though it’s been on my mind to play. The recent update brought to my attention there was DLC for the game, so out of curiosity, I began to search to find out if I could give Amon “elf ears” like the NPCs had (sorry MH folks, I’m ignorant of your lore).
After poking around some, I discovered there is indeed such a thing called Layered Armor – Wyverian Earrings! While it is part of a big pack of DLC, you can also pick it (and other items) up individually.
I was stoked to find out that I had just enough points on the My Nintendo account to pick the earrings up for free. I also decided to purchase him a new hairstyle since I also had a couple dollars left over from Christmas Switch gift cards!
Very happy with Amon’s change in appearance! Now it’s time to go hit things with a rainbow cello!

Saw this going around, and decided to try it.
The cartoon filters have no idea what to do with Amon’s eyes and hair. I had several rather bad fails, so this was the best of the group.
However, Scylla turned out adorable (though her eyes are red, not blue!).
Now, the Renaissance filters turned out quite nicely for Amon. When it didn’t try to turn him into a girl.
And Scylla…
And I tried Zuri too.
Amon of Trove

It’s been over 5 years since I’ve played Trove, but I heard they were releasing a new Bard class (today). So, a few weeks back I rolled an Amon just for this!

Features LED-powered base, Tower and Node buddy! Makes a great night light!
I saw folks making these neat figurines from clever screenshots and decided to give it a whirl. Wish I could really have one of these.
3 Year Anniversary Thanks
Posted on: June 27, 2021
Three years ago today, I relaunched the Spot of Mummery Tumblr as my FFXIV writing and interaction project. To all the friends and folks who have joined Amon and friends on their journey – thank you so much!
I say “relaunched” because the first time I tried creating a FFXIV RP Tumblr for Amon, it didn’t last. For whatever reason – the atmosphere of the RP community or just my lack of planning (maybe both) – I found it very difficult to introduce my story to the Tumblr folks.
I wrote a bit about that experience, and how I almost deleted Amon’s character in FFXIV here on the 1 year anniversary post and the 2 year anniversary post. Since I’ve already chatted about this in the past, I won’t belabor the topic this year!
Back in December, I decided to expand upon the foundation of the Spot of Mummery story and project. I created a WordPress blog, for one, and copied over much of the non-interactive content to it.
I also started to meet new folks on Twitter and develop the Spot of Mummery account there.
Having a WordPress blog allows me to work on sub-projects such as the Tea and Tomes Shop and the FFXIV RP Directory. I also want to blog about topics that have to with MMOs, creativity and RP in MMO games (specifically FFXIV).
I’m also working on revising and reposting Amon’s story – Spot of Mummery – both on the main site and on the Royal Road website. Not to mention, Scylla and I are still writing upcoming content for the story!
It’s hard to believe that three years later, the tales about a silly Allagan Bard are still rolling along. Thank you again for each comment, ask, tweet, like, follow – If I can offer you a smile on your dash or stream in return, then I feel this has all been a success.
May there be much more Mummery to come!
