#and that i cannot answer i've already done too much by uploading these

[solenstelluna]

For @heropartnerweek Day 2 it's Evolution, and this one's a two-parter! That's crazy for sure, and I think it's cool! Hopefully, that isn't just because I finished these right now and I haven't gone to sleep at all yet.

i know this probably won’t do much, let alone anything at all, but i’m sorry for the stress this site has caused you and so many other creators here. i’m not asking for you to stick around on here, but i hope you know just how meaningful you and your art have been on here. you’re amazing. /pos

Hey, this ask has done a lot more than you would think. Thank you, you are very sweet. <3

I've kind of made up my mind about what I'm gonna do for a while now, but I've simply been... too busy and overwhelmed to take the time to let you guys know. I'm not going to delete my tumblr, there's just. Too much here that I don't want to lose.

So far the game plan is: keep my tumblr. But do not upload anymore art or writing on it - not because it's gonna get scraped, because it was already getting scraped anyway, AI company deal or not. It's pretty much unavoidable at this point, unfortunately. I simply do not trust Tumblr with my data, if they're going to sell EVERYTHING, including private messages and such, so I'm not going to give it anything worthwhile to profit off of. Instead, I'm going to start uploading my art exclusively on Ao3, for now. I'll answer any asks I receive here on there too, as well. I'll figure some kind of system out. 🤔

The cool thing about uploading to Ao3 is that anyone subscribed to my profile or to the containment series I will make will get a notification anytime I upload something new. Having my art and writing in one place is likely going to be more convenient for you guys too, since you won't have to move across platforms to get the full experience. 😄It'll be different... but a platform getting too greedy for its own good won't stop me from finding ways to share my stories with y'all. I'll just find another solution.

(I've also been entertaining the idea of joining or making my own Discord server but. That one is a little more delicate. The idea of joining a server that has hundreds of members like a lot of this fandom's servers have, just. Makes me break into hives, lmao. (I am in the Ghost in the Machine fic server. I muted it an hour into joining, it was way too intense for me. |'D) That is way too many people, I simply cannot handle it. I'd be way more comfortable in a smaller group with a less rapid-fire rate of posting and conversation. I am also. Very picky about which servers I join, which makes asking for recommendations doubly awkward when I shoot them all down, haha... And making my own... Err, I can hardly keep up with a server I helped create for another fandom and mod for, I don't think I could handle two of them - I would need other people to handle the moderation for me, and I wouldn't trust just anyone to be a mod. I'd need to know them well enough to know I could trust them, and I... do not really know anyone in this fandom well enough to do that, sadly. I take server moderation very seriously, as someone who has had experience modding for forums back before social media was a thing. I do not know if that would make for a fun experience for everyone, and anyone who hasn't known that kind of supervised experience. It is comforting to me. It may be intimidating for others. So that's still a very hand-wavy, 'eehhhh' kind of thing still.)

All of this to say, that this isn't the last you'll see from me, far from it. I'll restrict my creative output to Ao3 for the foreseeable future, and I'll let you guys on here know when I make a new upload, so those of you who do not have an Ao3 account know when something new has happened.

So there you have it. 😊

Hey guys, just wanted to give a big update about what's going on and why I haven't made any content in what seems like months.

As of right now at least, I'm back at school full time, trying to get a programming certification and finish my degree, I work full time at a pretty taxing job, and my family and I are taking care of my grandmother, who is moving out of state this weekend. I'm the busiest that I've been for a while, and it's really starting to hit. I've been putting most of my energy into my classes since they've started, but its hard when I come home tired and sore and want to do nothing more more be a lazy bum and talk to the people I love. If I'm not doing assignments, I'm either sleeping or trying to muster up the energy to write anything. I've already talked about it with my parents and they agreed that if things get to be too much, I'm quitting my job to put all my focus into classes.

Right now I'm putting all of my writing energy into my fic on ao3, and the 7mih chapters. It's coming along slowly, I've been bouncing between characters, so multiple parts are in progress right now. For those that know of SCB on my ao3, yes it's been almost a year since I've updated it, no I not abandoning it, I promise. Since it's been so long, I'm re-writing what chapters have already been uploaded, and once they're all done, I'll upload them and try to keep going.

I try to keep some kind of updates on here, but I never really know what to post tbh. If you guys want more consistent interaction, honestly the best place is my server on discord. We've got more stuff set up, users have access to my realm that currently has my slender mansion build loaded, so if yall wanted to see that that's the place to go. We also have it set up for DnD, but we haven't started anything yet. I'll keep reblogging that post with the info, but dm me if you wanna join. It's mostly just to see if you're a real human person and to see your blog and get to know a bit more about you before you join. So far, I've only denied one person, and that's because their blog was completely empty and looked like a burner blog. I'll probably put my discord user ID up too, if yall just wanna dm me that way.

Commissions. I have the post for pricing in my drafts, complete and ready to go. But because of how busy I've been, I've been putting it off. I was hoping to open some at the end of January, but it looks like I may have to keep pushing it back, and I cannot give a definite date on when I'll open them. Sorry for those who wanted one, it's gonna be a while.

I cant think of anything else rn, but I'll reblog with more info if I do. If you want to support me at all, I have my Kofi linked in my faq post. Reblogging my stuff and sending asks always helps too. I promise I see yall in my inbox, I just never have time to answer 😅

Thank you guys for staying with me and supporting me the way you do. I love all of you 💖💖
