#I'm not starting from zero

Important (Hiatus)

....Where do I start?

After three and a half years, I think I've hit burnout.

Ever since my semester started back in August- no, back in the spring, my interests had fully shifted.

I think my career and journey as a writer and story teller are branching out into new territory now. And I want to see where it takes me.

It's been progressively harder to bring myself to write for this blog. I still have things sitting in my drafts and my inbox is still full but I really want to write original stuff and focus more on the series I started.

Not to mention that I genuinely have to start job hunting now as well.

After non-stop uploads and posts for nearly four years, I'm going to say that this is being put on pause. I wanted to last until the fourth anniversary but I can't bring myself to write that many posts and prompts to fill in that gap. Getting to this point was difficult as it was.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to bring this blog to a full stop.

I still want to talk to people. I still want to hear your ideas and your stories as well. I plan on keeping my commissions open if you still want more Zelda or LU stories, but for the blog itself, I think it's run its course.

I plan to spend more time on my other blog that I made for the stories I plan on writing in the future.

You can find it right here.

I hope to see you there! I have many more stories to tell. I just think that my time for LU is gonna be put on hold for now until my creative energy comes back.

I want to put my energy into something more productive to me in becoming a full-time author.

This community has opened up so many opportunities for me and I've got to talk to so many wonderful people. I couldn't be happier with where I am, truly.

I owe you all so much.

So thank you for entertaining me and my nonsense. <3

Thank you for giving me the push I needed to believe in myself.

And lastly, thank you for sticking with me for as long as you have.

All that being said, there will be no posts (written works) as of next week. And there will be no posts in the foreseeable future unless they have been commissioned and I have been given permission to post them.

My favorite brand of Ratiorine is definitely:

"They both experienced immediate attraction upon seeing the other and are (silently) interested in the possibility of pursuing a relationship, regardless of their differences and the difficulties of their situations."

But also:

"Despite being two of the most hyper-competent people in the universe, they are absolutely idiot4idiot when it comes to romance or discussing their feelings, and they are about to make their complete inability to express themselves and court like normal people into everybody's problem."

This AV Club comment is making me so desperate to write a romcom, you have no idea.

"You sense it too, do you not, friend? ...Your mistress has need of you."

Something of a companion/sequel to this set. Somnia was Nyx's familiar, and though it wasn't entirely her original purpose, she is adept at helping quell Ahru's Echo when it reels out of control.

"People are creatures who cant live without loving someone. But since they're creatures who can't love something that's strange or revolting, then by process of elimination, they can't live without loving something they can love."

It's her. The meat woman.

tbh, I don't really know anything about her asides from the stuff that I read on her wiki / Birth of Authority from Wish document and stuff that people in the fandom have said about her, so idk how accurate this would be to her lol but I think I have a gist for what her deal is XD

For Capella, I was going for a kind of butcher aesthetic, but with some touches of demon / dragon elements because iirc she transforms into a dragon at some point (also I think she already has a demonic vibe to her + just... how she is in general), and she 'butchers' people's bodies into grotesque shit. That's also the reason why her weapons are meat cleavers, to go with the whole 'butcher' theme. I also wanted to have a sort of clashing of cutesy / risqué elements in her outfit to go with the contrast of her appearance versus her personality, hence the ruffles + bows in her outfit paired with the latex top, gloves, and pencil skirt. I had no idea what to do with her at first, because her outfit in canon is literally just. A bikini. And some other shit. Aside from a color scheme I had no real 'theme' to go off of, just scantily clad outfit. I was at first gonna go for something like a mad nurse / surgeon vibe cause of how she alters people, but being a butcher just fits so much better for her and goes with her vibes really well. Also I think she's been called 'meat woman' in the LN or WN before so it makes sense lol XD

The authority from a wish document basically says that she wants to be loved by everyone and believes that people only love someone's appearance / looks are all that matter, so she wants to make everyone else around her look disgusting so that they only love her, and says her 'wish' is to turn others into something revolting, so that's what she probably wished for, giving her the ability to transform herself and others into whatever she wants.

i am sympathetic to people's merch issues don't get me wrong but i'd be far more sympathetic if a solid half of the complaints weren't like, shit they made up. also i genuinely thought we all just knew and accepted that merch is usually a bit shit like i'm not saying that's Right but i didn't realise this was news to anyone. ur 27 surely you've bought an overpriced t-shirt with a name on it that washes away before like

anyway. why are people mad the logo on the tit stream hoodie is "printed and not chrome like it claimed on the website" ? am i just ignorant what the fuck are you talking about. what is a CHROME logo? like this is a chrome design that's printed on.. i thought it was obvious that's what it would be... did you think it would be made of metal or like what is the issue here i genuinely don't get what people were envisioning

don't get me wrong i don't think the tit stream merch is particularly pretty, but i don't quite follow the claims about False Advertising

So, first things first: I got a 93.4% in my scoping final, which means I am officially done with the course!!!

What's left is to set up payment options (which I've been procrastinating on for no reason) and schedule a mentoring session with one of the teachers, which is something they do once you finish. And so I probably should make up a list of questions to ask for when I do that.

I don't feel like I really did anything to get closer to working this week - I didn't get my grade until Tuesday, which was a crapshoot anyway because I was out most of the day. And we have company over later today, which means the entirety of yesterday was spent cleaning the house x.x And I took Wednesday off completely from anything work-related, because tears started welling up anytime I even thought about it, so I was trying to be kind to myself. But that means here we are at the end of the week, and all I've really done is sort of poke halfheartedly at tax information and decided that I'll probably just try using TurboTax or something to begin with. Which isn't much for a whole week.

It's really weird, because my emotions keep flip-flopping between these two:

Trying to figure out who the hell this "Ninja Brian" musician is and gotta say, not what I was expecting

[youremyonlyhope]

The fact that Charlene Kaye has started an all-girl Radiohead cover band called Labiahead and Lena Hall is the lead singer is a string of words that I think would have actually made my 19-year-old brain explode.

And the fact that I very likely am not available to go to their debut concert is an actual travesty. Like, I am so mad.
