The Backlog Crone
Mountain Hag of the Ever-Growing Pile
I feed on 'I'll get to it someday.'
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
A mountain hag who dwells in the heap of unplayed games and unread books. She feasts on 'eventually' and 'someday,' growing ever fatter. Every sale swells her another size, quietly crushing your library under its own weight. Digest the backlog? Never. Instantly familiar to anyone drowning in wishlists and good intentions.
Relationships with other curses
A weekly rival to the Candy Witch The Gingerbread Witch, the two competing over who has hoarded more. The tea snacks are always the witch's own fingers.
How to deal with this curse
The Backlog Crone embodies the everyday frustration of "everyday." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
