temporary pinned to be updated i guess (ooc)

old pinned

tl;dr i got burnout (not caused by here just by life) and playing a self-insert was Not helping particularly as i Kept interjecting myself into things and getting stressed about it. plus the pixies are in fact nothing like how my own dissociative stuff is manifesting and trying to force the roles caused issues

i am working on a post-canon dude who will just be a chill radio host, low-stakes, most he'll do for 99% of conflicts is spread the word. it'll be a bit but i do also have an idea for how to bring blackthorn back eventually. it involves therapy :v

i'm also sending stupid asks to try and ease myself back into things. if you want a photo of a knockoff figure to react to let me know :v

thank you for patience :)

//an update

//still working on my new dude but i'm also going to try and slowly ease myself back into things by sending asks //in particular i have a Collection of knockoff figures so if anyone thinks they'd have an interesting response to seeing one as an actual mon then let me know and i'll drop you an ask

//sorry for all the delays but. fibro is killing me (metaphorically) and so is heckin adhd meds shortages i do intend my dude to be just a chill person to interact with, low stakes not much drama of his own* and i need to get in the headspace for him to do that *of course as a radio host he might be airing other people's drama. i mean what

//status update

//first up - i'm moving next week so hopefully i'll get somewhere after that //i feel bad about leaving blackthorn like this but i think trying to play her right now would be detrimental to me since. saffron/fuchsia/cerulean evolved to work differently for her than their equivalents do for me and it's hecking with trying to work out what's going on. //so for now, i probably noted already, but her network connection got disrupted - she's managed to send out a message letting people know but some legion stuff is taking priority over fixing the network

//i do however (hopefully) intend to start a new blog next month after moving stuff is done and i'm settled //this will be an after-events-of-game interpretation of a canon character who i don't think i've seen on here, my intent will be mostly just low-intensity trying to be funny/helpful rather than anything high-stakes //speculation is okay (honestly speculation might make me feel better about it even / ease me in a bit) and i'll answer questions if it doesn't give away who he is and i actually know the answer. main thing i need to do is work out nicknames for two of his mons, i've got some picrews set up already for this interpretation's appearance

//also i just want people to know that if you ever want to talk about anything i'm around even if i'm not active on here right now - i've been seeing a few stuff from pokeirl mutual mains on my dash and sending hugs to all of you who want/need them //it'll be easiest to drop me a message at @demifiendcruithne since i'm checking more often (if we're already connected on discord that's even quicker, but it's weird about actually notifying me of new message requests so) - i might need reminder of linking user to character because my brain sucks but

((You take the time you need, friendo. I had been wondering where you had potentially gone, but I'm just wishin' you the best. I know a couple of the feelings you've been dealing with at this point, so... Please, only come back if you feel like you genuinely want to and, more importantly, can. We care your face.))

//thanks, i appreciate it - i feel bad that i'm just taking a while to get comfortable again but at least ic i gave a reason of the connection got hecked up so it'll be easier for blackthorn :v

//i'm wondering if it'd be easier for me to leave blackthorn on hiatus for now and start one that's Actually In Pokeworld because that's a part of why i'm feeling weird about it i think? and then once i've got brain back into working properly then blackthorn fixed the connection (and probably a secondary excuse like 'heck we had to evade the irs') //though i also would get confused with 'wait my new blog doesn't have this relationship with this person', particularly with sprite (though the character i'm thinking of would have a past that would mean they'd understand) and indigo; the taskforce would be easier to talk to since this is a canon character and less plot focused blogs would be easier too since i wouldn't be too plot focused either

(//and i think another reason i'm feeling weird is i haven't worked out the heck is happening with /my/ pixies and i haven't had the energy to really look into it more, but i'll work on that one when i can)

//but yeah i. do appreciate and i feel bad about just leaving everyone because you all are super cool. i just haven't been in a community like this for a long time before this and don't know how to come back from holiday properly //it's entirely possible i won't be off hiatus until after i've moved, too. which is likely next month, but i'll be a lot more comfortable after i have at least? i don't know

//i appreciate all of you and i should try to at least talk on discord more. if anyone who isn't in a server with me already wants i'm cruithne on there, just discord is a heck about telling me when people i'm not connected to message me so if i don't respond it's not ignoring you

//she is very tired and she cannot even have coffee because caffeine does not work for her.

//OOC Picrew Chain! Picrew here

Here's a more human version of Alaina

[blackthorn-legion-irl]

//Doing a little check in if you see this before your hiatus is over. How have you been?

//i've been in two senses:

1: the main part of the hiatus i've been chilling at my partner's place, so i didn't want to do much rp-wise because it wouldn't be a big priority for me (i don't get to see him much now brexit means i can't get my meds shipped into the eu)

2: and now i'm 'home' and depressed :D but also trying to work out how to progress with this - i don't want to go back to 'staying up until 3am rping' like i was for a bit because that hecked my sleep schedule and i just got it fixed, and i also want to write a better intro for blackthorn (which is a very slight retcon but makes her fit into pokeirl a little better) before doing much? but don't feel like doing that because hey guess what it's easier for me to do work when i'm with one of the two people who understands me most in the world instead of at 'home' where my mum 'tidied' my room and i don't know where anything is.

anyway. i'll probably just be reading/liking for a bit to ease myself back into it. and ooc reblogging stuff because blackthorn would be a lot more eager to get back in than me FOMO is a hecker too + retroactive fomo of 'oh heck what did i miss that i now don't know what's going on' and i still don't know what's up with my equivalent of the pixies except that they definitely aren't as prominent as blackthorn's.

anyway thank you for the check-in, i appreciate it :) i'll be trying to ease myself back in, slower than i expected but

[blackthorn-legion-irl]

//just a slight status heads up without me whining in the tags on this account. i'm back 'home' but i've still got to adjust / jetlag etc, so might still be a few days, but. status update

'i tidied your room while you were gone' 'ok do you remember where you put anything' 'probably not'

why
