I fixed my Switch!
I was successful at fixing my Switch and it took me 3 hours! I felt so much joy and relief when the screen started running normally again. Now I can finally play Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream!!!
Also, the tutorial I ended up following was by Dack’s Electronic Repair.
I didn’t take many photos during the process because I wanted to concentrate on what I was doing (and not break anything or mess up lol), BUT I did take a picture of the new screen before applying it to the console 😁

Gonna attempt to fix my Switch
Update on my Switch: the screen is still malfunctioning and after doing some more research, specifically it’s the LCD screen that’s not working properly. There are multiple colorful horizontal lines that appear on the screen now at all times. So the touch screen (I learned it’s called a touch screen digitizer), which is sitting on top of the LCD screen, is fine, thank goodness. As someone who isn’t super familiar with tech stuff, I actually didn’t know the Switch has two screens so this was new news for me!
I’ve also decided to try and fix my Switch. I do enjoy making stuff but this will be the first time I’ll be working with electronics. To help make the situation not be so overwhelming, I’ve been watching and reading some tutorials. Now I’m excited to fix my Switch!
Hopefully the damage isn’t as severe and my Switch can be saved 🤞 I’m not sure yet if I’ll make a proper blog post about this entire situation but for now, here’s a brief update on where I am.

RIP to my Switch
My Switch’s screen is damaged. A few months ago my 3DS’s SD card got corrupted and had to be replaced and now my Switch is having problems 😭

Made some changes here
I’ve decided to delete my Mastodon and Pixelfed accounts since I don’t really use them. However, I did end up keeping my Bluesky account. With all that said, I’m still taking a break from social media.
This change means I’ve also updated my homepage! Instead of “My Socials” it’s now “Other Places I’m On.” So basically you can also find me at these places:
- My Carrd
- @orionstarlight01 on Bluesky
- @wolfraven on Theme Plaza: Sharing some 3DS themes I've made.
- @Orion0805 on Tomodachi Share: Sharing some Miis I've made.

My Current 3DS Theme!
I'm really happy with my current 3DS theme! 😁 This one is based off of SNSD’s 1st Asia Tour.
"Complete" by SNSD is one of my favorite songs so I decided to make a theme for it. I also did use SNSD's live recording for the bgm. For anyone interested in also having this theme, here's the link.
Recently, I did put a screen protector on both screens so that’s why it might look a bit funny. It does look fine irl and you don’t really notice it.

Changed “Status” page to “Notes”
An update for this page!
My smaller posts seemed more like notes rather than status updates so I decided to change the name for my “Status” page to “Notes.”

I finally finished watching Revolutionary Girl Utena!
I finally finished Revolutionary Girl Utena a few days ago and it’s pretty good! I can definitely see why it’s such an influential show.
Also, holy cow. As someone who loves Steven Universe and knowing how the creator of that show, Rebecca Sugar, said Utena was one of the works that influenced SU, you can really notice it.
For anyone interested in watching Utena, I do recommend reading a content/trigger warning list beforehand (I recommend this extensive one). For me, there’s some stuff that I didn’t know would appear in the show and it was part of the reason why I had to put it on hold for a while. I went in thinking it was going to be a lighthearted magical girl anime but the show ended up dealing with heavy and potentially triggering themes. Utena does treat these in a mature and respectful manner. With all that being said, I do recommend watching the show.

A new The Owl House graphic novel!
Got back from work to see this good news!!!
There will be a new The Owl House graphic novel coming out later this year and I'm so excited to read it. From the description, it looks like it'll mostly be about King and how he'll be dealing with his immortality.
