((I don't mean to be fucking disgusting and necro this blog when I physically cannot continue to rp here at this point in my life (but I have not given up on the idea) but...

((i originally had it written/planned-- outside of the homecoming rp with i-am-elder-maxson and ts-sergeant-elliot-- that Yiyuan would join the railroad, and become the downfall of the Brotherhood. She would renounce her allegiance to the organization, and forever banish them from the Commonwealth. She would destroy the Prydwen, after an epic fight on the skywalk with Maxson, and watch the airship go down in flames from the vertibird-- or, depending on the circumstances, narrowly escape by plummeting either into the ocean, or to the ground in a suit of power armor, and then have to avoid the falling debris. Pretty intense stuff.

((I had completely forgotten about the option in The Danse Dilemma... to challenge Elder Maxson for the "throne".

((how could I be so blind? Teenage friends, once best friends, fighting to the death! And Yiyuan is Chinese-- it would be heresey to some to see a woman of her ethnicity claim the Eastern division of the Brotherhood of Steel. That in itself would destroy the Brotherhood anyways.

((but better still, to engage in this fight, and both of them still reluctant to kill the other, even after all their disagreements, their fights... To have one stand over the other, prepared to deal the final blow...

((waiting...

(("this can't be how it ends, surely..?"

((and the choice they will make, no matter what, will change everything. Forever.))

“The Brotherhood wants to make this world a safer place, MacCready,” Ellis said as he loaded a clip into one of the 10mm pistols, “We’ll start by clearing out this place, one feral at a time.”

He took a spare pistol and handed it to Julia with a nod.

Scribe Chone was correct, this place was too valuable to waste. The technology alone would keep the Prydwen’s scribes occupied for weeks, months even. The facility has clearly remained untouched beyond this sector due to the caved in ceilings and blocked tunnels.

“Prepare for close quarters combat, have your melee weapons at the ready. I’ll take point. Everyone ready?”

Ellis pulled out his combat knife and held it in his left hand while the pistol sat comfortably his right. If he was lucky, he could sell the guns for a few caps to Proctor Quinlan or trade them with his fellow soldiers.

Upon confirmation that everyone was, in fact, ready, the Scribe fiddled with the terminal before her, and a moment later, a dozen hellish snarls and howls filled the corridors of Med-Tek’s basement. Ghouls of all shapes, sizes, and states burst from their confinements, rushing towards the room the group had hunkered in.

“Don’t let any in!” Julia exclaimed, static claiming most of the statement as it reached near-peak volume.

With the three of their combined efforts, however, the struggle didn’t last long. One after the other, Ferals fell dead, freed from their near eternal torture. And though a few made it into the room and brought about momentary chaos among its inhabitants, no one was left severely injured, much to the Scribe’s joy. She glanced up to Ellis with a satisfied smirk, before pointing quietly behind him, as she was still catching her breath and couldn’t muster the mental energy to verbally say, “Head down the stairs behind you now.”

She earned a grace period of rest, he should allow her that, at least. Even so, he paced the room with one hand at his side and the other rubbing at the thick nest of his beard. He’d decided on the impending discussion long before she had returned from the Glowing Sea and the waiting had walked a hole in his floor. Once again, Arthur internally reprimanded his selfishness, reminding himself to be more concerned with what she found there and what it could mean for the Brotherhood of Steel. Plagued by guilt, he concluded that he must free his mind of its impurity if he was to be sound enough to accept whatever truly valuable information she held. Desperation won out in the end and he stomped towards the infirmary to intercept Scribe Julia Chone.

The mouth of Medbay smelled of chalky medicine and clear alcohol. He stood in silent observance until his presence drew up eyes.

The deep, dark circles under those grey-blue eyes, and her hunched form, shuddered under the Elder’s gaze, before she broke into a broad grin. She sat up straighter, though not by much, as she held a bowl of Mirelurk stew, and Julia saluted the Elder with a hearty pound of her fist to her chest. Due to the two of them currently being the only ones present, the Scribe fell back on familiarity shortly after.

“Good afternoon to you too, Arthur.” Julia took a sip of her stew, then set it aside, bringing attention to bandages around her right arm. It shook as she placed the stew on the nearby table. “Am I correct in assuming you’re here for a mission report?”

This all being said...

I don’t intend for this to be the end of Julia’s story, particularly in the Homecoming RP. If @i-am-elder-maxson and @ks-ellisjamescowart choose to stay and continue the Homecoming RP, I can type out my responses in a shared discord, and they will have full permission to post it. That, or perhaps Homecoming will become some sort of fic-style story, written on discord and then transcribed for Tumblr. I’m not sure.

As well as that idea for Homecoming, I have had a fanfiction laying around for Julia and Nick’s story on Google docs for about a year now. Maybe it’s time I finish that.

In case I well and truly leave Tumblr, I want to thank everyone in advance for their kindness and acceptance of Julia’s character into their own Fallout worlds. The response was far greater than I could have asked for, and I’m sorry I let this blog fade away the way I did.

There’s no future for me on Tumblr

Tumblr has been notorious for being difficult to gain traction on as a content creator. I will rightfully admit I haven’t exactly tried my hardest either; I haven’t drawn in months due to work and school sucking out my life. But with the recent developments, finding any fanbase here will now be impossible.

I have been shadowbanned. I searched for myself, and despite this blog not being flagged in any way, shape, or form, I don’t show up in results. And despite the pleas of artists everywhere, the like/reblog ratio has never balanced out. If anything, it’s gotten worse.

This update has killed any chance I have of finding any popularity here. And it’s heartbreaking.

I cultivated my own Tumblr experience so carefully, hand-crafted it with good blogs and excellent pluggins, and because of that, Tumblr has made me into a human being I can be proud of. Yes, you heard that right, Tumblr did a better job of raising me than my parents did. So leaving Tumblr will be like leaving home. And I’m actually scared. But if I want to make it as an artist, it’s something I’m going to have to do. Pouring time and energy into this site won’t be useful for me anymore, and I say to the other small artists who plan to stay, you’re making a mistake. Bigger artists have a chance at surviving. You don’t.

That all being said, I don’t plan to leave Tumblr immediately. I plan to stay into the new year and a little ways beyond, to see how tomorrow’s official changes will truly affect the website, but there’s a good 90% chance I will leave regardless. When that week does come, I will be sure to make the announcement, and I hope many of you will follow me to new frontiers.

So what do I plan to do from here?

Pillowfort will likely become my new social media hub, once their servers chill out a little. The site’s still chugging, but I have never had more faith in a kickstarted project in my life. You’ll also be able to find me on Twitter, Archive of Our Own (under The_Female_Gaymer) for fanfiction, Instagram, and Twitch for art and video game livestreams.

Alongside those social media hubs, I have a folder of websites I’m interested in making extra accounts under, including Patreon, Artstation (though that might be a little too high quality for me and my art level), and Fur Affinity. Yes, you heard me right, Fur Affinity. I see it as a chance to find a community that will really be interested in my Dragon drawings (which have never seen the light of day here) and, perhaps, make some extra commission money off of that passion. I’ve heard there’s a good consistent community of followers and commissioners there, once you get on your feet, and I’m eager to try that out.

I fear for the future. For Tumblr’s future. But despite my fear, I have such high hopes for my own, that I try not to think about Tumblr too much.

There will be no posts from any of my blogs tomorrow, as part of the protest. I’ll return on the 18th, and get a good idea of what the damage is.

Stay cool, followers. Remember to pay respects to the last Fingers in his Ass Sunday.
