An Unfortunate Update

Hey folks, it's with a heavy heart that I have to announce a permanent closing of the blog.

If you would like to hear more you can click the 'keep reading', but the TL;DR is that I got in over my head and lacked the foresight to close the blog sooner for my sake and the sake of those following. I apologize for promises of returning that fell flat, but thank you guys very much for sticking with me for the ride ❤

I tried to hype myself up at the end of my school term to get back to the blog with my big plans and attempt at motivation, but unfortunately I have to accept the fact that I can't keep doing that as it just is not going to work. It is better if I don't keep digging myself a deeper hole with this blog and don't hold up my followers here anymore, as well as better for my mental health.

I am keeping the blog up and won't be deleting any of the posts, so it isn't going anywhere. I do this just to keep a lil momento of the stuff I did here since it does mean a lot to me! But if there are a few people who want to come back to it occasionally then it will be here to do so.

I apologize for all the long waits, hiatuses, and several broken promises of revival and regular posting. Thank you all who enjoyed it and had fun, it means a lot that people were interested and liked what I was doing! Genuinely, I never expected the interaction it got so it means a lot to me.

I send well wishes to you all and hope you're well, have a good day/night ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Hey remus how's life?

[There was also an anon saying that it's been a while and asking how everyone is, Tumblr ate it but I did see it and still want to include it in this post! So just know that I did get your ask tysm!]

Remus: It's good to see you folks again! I hope you're all well!

[askthesandershouse]

Howdy folks! I was planning to have the newest post up today or tomorrow, but my tablet crashed while working on the post and I lost the file. I'm restarting the art for it and will hopefully have it out by Thursday! Sorry for the delay!

[askthesandershouse]

The new post has been delayed longer than planned, but im hoping it will be done and up soon. The file for the up coming post has been eaten by my tablet sadly, which means it will be coming on Thursday instead. I had planned for today or tomorrow, but I am working on the new one and hope to have it done asap :"D

[askthesandershouse]

Leaving open the ask box since I have space and its not overflowed! No plans for when it closes atm but will update when it happens! As for now, ask box is still open for Remus 💚

[askthesandershouse]

Just realized I never stated who is answering OOPS FMHMHF

Questions are for Remus this round!

I will be starting to sketch and work on answers tomorrow and Wednesday, so if anyone has asks to send in get em in if ya can! I will be closing the box to keep things at a good pace Wednesday evening!

The Sanders House slowly returns!

Hello hello! After months of hiatus due to classes I am slowly making a return! This comes with some changes, so please click below for all the info on those! They will all be added to the about page + the about post as well later this evening. I hope these updates will be ok, tysm for reading and for sticking around! 💙 :-)

Update 1: the Schedule, Posting, and Art Quality

I learned many a thing from running this blog for the short time I have (in active periods that is), which is my brain/mental health does not cooperate very well with me and the blog in terms of schedules. The posting I was doing before was becoming stressful because I have a tendency to rush myself to not keep people waiting. In an effort to not force myself into another long hiatus I'm going to take more time with posts.

This is to not only reduce my stress but also hopefully put more quality into the art on the blog! I rushed myself a lot before when making the art for my posts, so I want to slow down and not rush so much this time around. This means posting may not be every single day, or even every 2 days. I am going to try being schedule free for now and post on my own terms. This doesn't mean weeks between posts, I just may be posting once or twice a week instead. I apologize for less posts per week, but I do want to try not to kill the blog as best I can :")

If having no set schedule is not a good solution after trying it out, I will work on a schedule to get on track again and find one that best fits me. Of course if this is the case you'll get another update.

This will also keep my motivation for the blog up in general, which segues us into new thing 2-

Update 2: Weak Motivation and ADHD Strangling my Brain

I hyperfixate a lot bc of my adhd, and for quite a while my main fixation has been multiple things that are not Sanders. Which was making me worry about wether or not I'd actually be able to return/continue the blog. But I don't want that to happen! The fact this blog lasted a week is a miracle and an achievement for me jhfkhf

The solution is not going to effect this blog! However, for those who follow my art blog this means the content over there will focus on those things instead and I will likely keep TSS content to this one! I'm not making a post over there since this kind of update is really only suited for this blog, so I want to mention it here in case.

This does mean however that if I have behind the scenes sketches I want to post, I will be posting them here! I posted the sketches for a few panels from this blog on my art blog in the past, but as a lil something extra for you guys over here I want to post those here from now on.

Update 3: Not rlly an Update, but When are Asks Open Again?

I am going to take a few days to settle back into my normal art process before opening up the box to character Qs. I need to find my groove again before hoping back into making posts, especially since I still need to get the groove for all of my non ask blog related stuff as well. I haven't been able to make tons of other content for my main accounts/personal stuff either so the next few days I am going to settle and get back into my art rhythm!

This is exactly why this is a kind of slow return, but I assure you I will be open again soon. I will make a post to let you all know when the ask box opens to character questions again, so check the pinned post within the next few days if you miss it! This will be pinned until then, but I will switch it out once I'm open for business!

Update 4: Doodle Days? Mini Events??

Every so often I thought it would be nice to do some sort of quick ask and/or doodle days. Basically the idea is while I'm working on the regular asks I could occasionally open a small event for a few hours where people can ask all of the characters stuff. They would be in the form of either quick lil doodles or just text. Most likely will be doodles tbh.

Its just a lil one shot type thing to interact with while I'm working on the regular stuff! This is also a way to ask for any of the characters without waiting until its their turn in the spotlight. This won't be all the time, again I don't wanna over work especially if I have other projects going on besides asks. But I think every so often doing something like this would be fun!

That's all the updates for now!

Thank you all so so much for your patience and for sticking around! Its very much appreciated and means a lot 💙 I hope the schedule (or lack thereof) changes aren't too bothersome, but I do think this will help me function better!

Stay safe, drink some water, and I hope you're all have a good day/night 💙💙💙 :-)

A Little Check-in

Howdy folks it's Foster! It's been a hot minuet so I thought I'd check in with ya. I am currently in the middle of my second semester, the work load is quite heavy which is why it's been so long since I posted. The closest I can give for a return date is mid to late April, but it will depend on exam days and other various things. I apologize for the even longer wait, but I am hoping to return sometime in April!

I have been sketching occasionally and posting to my art blog/Instagram bc I be hyperfixating and needing happy chemicals/practise, but that's about it for content latley. For now that is the content I will continue to make since its all I can manage, so you're free to check that out if you want to keep up with that, baring in mind I post non-TSS stuff there for the most part.

Again, I apologize for such a long break but I am attempting to get through classes atm :") I hope everyone is well, and I hope you have a good day/night! 💙💕

I’ve gotten into a bunch of askblogs lately and one of my friends made one a couple days ago, and since askblogs are literally dependent on people interacting to progress the story forward, I’ve decided to compile a small list of ones made recently!! I’d love to see ppl reblog and add to this because there’s a lot of amazing creators that deserve a lot more attention!!

@ask-the-demi-sides A Heros of Olympus au!! Virgil’s memory is gone, and his boyfriend Roman is worried about him :(

@legend-of-sanders-sides A Zelda au! Roman is telling a riveting story when he hears someone call for help…

@ask-adventure-sides Medieval/fantasy au. Patton and Logan are looking for someone 👀

@mystery-murder-tss-au A detective au! A supposed caffeine overdose is not what it seems…

@ts-vlog-au A vlog au, as you can probably tell. Who doesn’t love teenagers and cryptid hunting?

@tsfosterparentau What it says on the tin!! Thomas makes the brave decision to foster seven whole kids, and boy do a lot of things happen

[askthesandershouse]

I've been working on finals so I cannot offer much in these trying times,,,, however I thought it would be fun to give you guys some memes I filled out based on my au? Their personalities may be a lil diff from Canon since this is an au but I hope these give you some weird insight! Some where hard to place but I think this fits the gang pretty well. Tho I might switch V and Pat in the 1st pic around :0c

Featuring C!Thomas and Emile! I wasn't gonna show them until later (still nothing official for a while) but I figured it'd be a nice lil treat while I am insanely slow.

[askthesandershouse]

thoughts on beans? favorite type of bean?

[askthesandershouse]

Thank you Janus. I will never be able to look at a ferret and not call it a liquid wiggly cat snake. That title is so much better than just plain old ferret. 💙

[askthesandershouse]

💙💖 thank you so much!! I appreciate it a lot! Im really glad you like my designs!

I encourage everyone to go check out the other artists and spread the love!

Good morning fanders - have a good day, drink something hydrating and eat a good snack!

Now: If you have some underappreciated artists or just artist you love to bits, go reblog this and mention them! I'll start UwU

@rondoel SUUPEEEER STUFF! Your style looks so loose, yet you use specific shapes? What!? Good shit! And your dialogues are so gooood! Support them if you can and make sure to comment on their stuff!

@sweetest-honeybee I've been following you for a while now Rosa and I love love love your art development, gow many interests you have and YOUR PAINTING STYLE LIKE WHAT!?!?!! Keep going dear, and to everyone who wants to support them, they have open commissions and a patreon with cool content!

@askthesandershouse I JUST stumbled over your ask blog and how you draw the sides? SO CUTE! their designs are aaaaaa so good! And while I haven't had the time to really dive into this blog yet, it seems to have interesting concepts and way too few notes ;v; very underrated, go check them out and leave an ask for them!

@alltimevirgilant hey - hey Andy - you are a very good and I should read your writing more bc I am an idiot for not doing so! Love you! This writer and occasional artist is GOOOOOD they will tear your emotions to shreads, go support them TvT👌🏻

[askthesandershouse]

Janus I hope you get what you want. You really deserve a second chance with Virgil and seeing you sad makes me sad. Aside from that ,do you like ferrets? Ferrets move kinda like snakes.

(and they're ten times as fluffy)

[askthesandershouse]

Oh Jan I'm so sorry. I get both sides of the story. I hope you two can sit down and talk it out soon.

[askthesandershouse]

Yay! It's nice to hear that your happy about having you project almost done! I hope that the rest of you project is easy and you have at least a bit of fun!

Thank you! I am, the past few have been tough but this last one is a lot more exciting for me to work on. Plus that means I can post the update I have sitting in wait. I will have some fun I assure you!!
