#i know i've posted some job hunt updates on here so here's a good one!!

[violetasteracademic]

Hey bestie, was just wondering when chapter two comes out 🙂‍↕️ been refreshing ur page once an hour for dayyyyyys. 💓

Hi my friend!! So funny you should ask, it will be ready to go up by early evening tonight! I will let you know as soon as it is posted! (I'm in US central time zone. So about 6-7 hours from now)

I'm so honored and delighted to have you reading the new fic 🥹 I don't like to share toooo much of my personal life on here because this fandom is sadly not always kind to artists and writers when it comes to the hostility of the ship wars, but I do want to give a heads up that A Court of Twisted Fate will not be coming out *quite* as fast as Golden Doe in a Valley of Shadow. I blacked out and wrote almost 100k words of Golden Doe in a total disassociative bender in under a month and a half while I was in between homes, closing the final chapter of my old life after a long fought for divorce, and set aside my 10 year long business and career. I was in a weird little vortex and could easily get a chapter out every few days. I want to be honest with myself and all of you that I will not be able to match that pace right now without massively sacrificing on quality and thorough edits!

If I haven't said it enough, you guys truly have no idea what the response to Golden Doe meant to me. Writing that fic helped me survive a very difficult time. I had never written a fic before and didn't even have an ao3 account, I had to wait a few weeks to be allowed in. I had no idea anyone would read it, and sharing that story wound up being one of the most special and joyful times of my life, which seems impossible when I look back on what I was going through! I just... Thank you. I don't know what else to say. Thank you a million times, every day, forever.

I am starting life completely over in a new city and a 1940's bungalow that has had a few catastrophes since moving in 🫣 I'm hard at work job hunting in this nightmare economy and fixing up the urgent items in the house! So it's a different kind of busy filled with lots of fear and anxiety and mental exhaustion. Thus, I'm also trying to give myself lots of time to heal and recover. I'm hoping for a chapter once a week this round, but I might need some grace for up to two weeks!

This might be a good opportunity to answer some other questions I've gotten. Some have noticed the new rating is M instead of E. There WILL still be smut, but this is more of a dark and spooky old school style slow burn and very story forward. And while I hesitate to say the spice will be more vanilla, it is not as kink forward as Golden Doe! It will still be spicier and more detailed than what SJM would typically write (y'all she's tame in my book) but a different style. That being said, the piece is not finished. Sooooo.... 🦇 we'll see if kinky Azriel body snatches me again and demands that the spice be freakier and more frequent. In which case I'll update the rating.

Golden Doe started as an M rating and 15 planned chapters, and we all saw how that worked out!

I'm pushing myself to create a unique world and characters that are not just a carbon copy of Golden Doe in a Valley of Shadow. Of course, it is still canon Elain and Azriel! But I'm focusing on different sides of them. I hope you all enjoy it just as much, but if it winds up not being your vibe, do know I have a few ideas bouncing around for Golden Doe continuations, additional Elriel fics, and my inbox is always open for ideas and prompts/requests!!

Gonna update my Pinned Post, so here goes:

🌈👻📽🎬🖼🪄🎹♍️⏫️🛏🗝🌿🖤🦕🌌🎃🐝🍔☮️🌃🌈📸🎧🌹🌻🎶🐦‍⬛🔮🌳✨️🍁🦚🦓🥦🍜💀🧠🧙‍♂️🦇👨‍🦽🧎‍♂️‍➡️🧛‍♂️🕸🍀🖊🗒🖌📚👓♈️🔅🧚‍♂️🐈‍⬛🌄🌙🧿🪩🎨📌💼✒️💿🕯

This is my main blog now. Gonna try my best to be a minimally insufferable internet tumblr personality. Please renlog this, and I'm outright asking for followers.

I'm writing a book, it's about absurdism and cults and the end of the world. It is a satire, it is a sci-fi dystopian horror. Hi, if you're a publisher - call me, I promise I'm not crazy.

I call myself a wizard, my religion is ?????

This is a witch blog? But one of the cool ones, I swear. I like frogs, and being a good person. I post kinda consistently, and I've been active a REALLY LONG TIME in tumblr years. Doing my best not to be appropriative or exclusionary in any way, also painfully human. So much so, I have chronic pain too 🤣 (getting that diagnosis figured out, I hurt a lot and I have theories.)

I think met God once in a cemetery in December 2018, and It told me to leave an abusive marriage. And every time I think of what God looks like, my brain says Alainis Morrisette and David Bowie. I don't really know what that means.

I was raised in arguably one of the biggest cults in the world - no, not scientology. So I sincerely believe the only way to find God or Upper Whatever is to figure it out yourself. And understand everyone is probably wrong in some ways, right in others. Ergo, I'm not sure what I believe and it will eternally change.

I worship Change in the form of Death - or Death as Change - I'm not sure if that matters. I also worship Uni, the Cat God Of Self. Which. I made up. I made a blog about that, if you can find it. You will see that a lot here

I write spells, cultivate cool posts. I hardcore try to peer review, please don't hunt me for sport for reblogging a shitty blog. Just send me an ask and call me out - I'll be reasonable. I also share stories.

I like dinosaurs, vegetarian food (not exclusively), talking about glasses, writing, movies, goth culture, history, reading, art, plants, and dark humor. I write a lot in the bathtub. I live in an old house in a big railroad city in the US. Hopefully I become locally famous too, so I can quit my job and freelance forever with my chronic pain problems. Or be a ghost tour guide as my real job.

I'm a story worm. Which is like a bookworm, but with movies and podcasts and personal anecdotes. I tell stories. I hope the stories have value for you. I ingest stories, and have been enamored with the art of sharing stories my entire life.

My Cat is my pfp at the time of this posting. His name is Oswald Cheesecake. He looks like a wizard to me in that photo, in a brown cloak. But he' just in a paper bag. They are his favorite thing. There is a very good story behind his name, too.

With your message about ur mental health and stuff, thank you for putting that out there. Mental health is extremely important, and it’s good to prioritize that. On that note, it brings me such joy that you have a community here and that you enjoy writing as much as I enjoy reading your stories. Genuinely, if you ever need to reach out or rant to anyone, there is a community of people here for you. We really value the time you put into your stories. The care you put into the characters and the plot. Thank you for the check in. On that note, ahhhhhh I love numbers game so much! Also I’m the same way with the white beard pirates. I love their dynamic so much and ahhh I won’t go too into now since I don’t wanna get you off track. Just know when it’s the white beard pirates time to shine I will be here!!!!!

- ⭐️ anon

😭😭😭😭😭 Thank you!! It means so much to me that y'all are here hanging out, reading my words, AND being so dang kind!! 😭🙏🏼

I'm also so grateful that I can be open about my mental health here. I do my best to tag it, and "keep reading" the heavy or in depth stuff, but it is so lovely. I used to be incredibly open and outspoken about mental health awareness, and would discuss my diagnoses publicly (even did some keynote speaking about it), but that was before I got my BIG diagnoses 3-4 years ago, and with my current job, I haven't felt comfortable speaking openly about it. It makes me pretty dang grumpy.

Unfortunately there's still a lot of stigma surrounding Bipolar and OCD. I've been open about PTSD and ADHD, but haven't felt safe enough to share the others.

Thank you for letting me have space for this, it means the world to me!

And yes, don't get me distracted! Lol, not that anything could pull me away from NUMBERS GAME right now, but you keep putting the Whitebeard Pirates in my head!!!

You are the loveliest, ⭐ anon! I hope you have big smiles today!

~ Lynna 💜✨

Below the cut is an update on my current mental health, and possible episode. It is a personal vent about the yuck, so please, please don't read it if you're not down for a dump at the moment! I will not be offended if you scroll past! (cw bipolar, cw mixed episode, cw vent post)

Tumblr is really weird about the cut sliding around on ask posts for some reason, so if you see any text below this, please scroll past it!

Thank you so much for the kind words!!

It's rough out here.

I already have a hard time doing things. ANY things. Executive dysfunction with ADHD is one of the biggest struggles I've dealt with my entire life.

Right now though, it's all piling up. Friends and loved ones texts and calls. Random life tasks and responsibilities. Work tasks put off (and my company falling apart isn't helping me with that motivation 😩). Job hunting is not happening as it should.

My physical health is not great right now, and it's making it more difficult for me to want to participate in the outside world.

I have a feeling I'm in another mixed episode (a lovely cocktail of mania and depression 🙃). The intense hyperfixation that is going beyond the adhd levels, plus the espresso depresso times point to that.

Or maybe I'm just focusing on the thing that is bringing me comfort and joy during this difficult time.

Either way, all I want to do is write. I'm working with my therapist on pushing myself back into doing other things in the world. I'm going to visit family this weekend. I'm slowly, slowly getting there.

But honestly, I'm just so grateful to have this right now. To have these stories, to have people read them and enjoy them, and talk to me about them. I've never had a hobby or hyperfixation that was so rewarding, healing, or this long term. I know that I would not be doing well with my current circumstances if I didn't have these stories running through my brain everyday, and the satisfaction of capturing and sharing them.

Life sucks (not always, lol 🙃), but we find the things that make it bearable. That give us some joy.

Right now, that's Cross Guild smut & angst 😅

And all of you kind, funny, wonderful people in this lil corner of the internet.

You have no idea how much it means to me 💜💜💜

Some suggestions based on seriously awful advice I've seen repeatedly floating around online. I've posted this before but I just saw some of these again and argh.

When interviewing for a job, applying for a job, or doing anything job related, don't lie. If you think your resume is unimpressive or you are unsure about your skills, go to the library. They have resources to specifically aid in job hunting and to help prep you for interviews. It isn't "sticking it to the man." It is fucking yourself over because you are lying on legal documents and contracts and it can get you fired when you are actually a good fit for the job.

When interviewing, always remember that every question is just delving into one big question: "Why should we hire you?" Everything is connected to that big question, so all of your answers to their smaller questions should somehow relate to that. You're selling yourself here. Focus on being positive. Be honest. Do not insult anyone or anything even if they prompt/encourage/leave you an opening for you to do so. Take some time to practice with friends or in front of a mirror so the answers come more naturally.

This works in fiction and in real life: strengths and weaknesses are different sides to the same coin. You don't want to insult yourself in an interview (or in general, really), so when anything about your struggles or weaknesses come up, use that technique. For example, I'm a passionate person (I'm subtle about it, I know). When it comes time to ask about strength/weakness, I can bring that up. If they ask for a strength first, I can control the conversation before they even bring up the "weakness" question. A nice, positive, non-self-degrading or self-deprecating answer.

Also also also, always do your research and be prepared with questions, too. This isn't just them interviewing you: you should be interviewing them. Will this job be a good fit for you? What can you expect going forward? What do they like about it? If you ask them that last question and they give you a generic answer, be wary.

Keep your resume updated. Ask your librarian for help reviewing it. Be honest and positive but never forget that these people aren't your friends. Be professional. Is this a job you need right now so you can't be too picky about it? Is it a job you're sure is going to be short-term? Then make sure to still view it as a resource. Still work hard and cover your bases while you're hunting for something better. If possible, leave on good terms so you can still put it down on your resume and possibly even snag some references. If it's shitty and you get a new job, you don't need to give them notice. It's a courtesy and also helpful if they can possibly act as references. If you can't use them as a reference and they don't deserve any courtesy, well, fuck them. Two weeks' notice is never mandatory, even if some businesses try to insist they are. Nope! It's illegal for them to try and push it.

But seriously: always cover your bases. It doesn't matter how shitty or unethical or whatever they are. Always take care of you. Be careful in what you sow and be prepared to reap it. If you do need to lie, for fuck's sake, be careful, be thorough, and don't post it on social media!

[dark-side-blog3]

I’ve never heard of your OCs!!! If you’re feeling it, can you tell me ab them? Like, what’s their type, what kind of yandere are they, etc. I tried to search em but nothing came up so I guess they’re from the old blog lol

-Jojo

They are from the old blog, that is right! I've still got to update my tag post I've been using for searches on there-- but I'll post that and it should make it easier to read up on them! I'll reblog some stuff too!

I have two OC's and a third bastard child I never developed past like a couple of concept posts, and their names are Cyril and Dalton!

I thought it would be funny to name the idiot character "Dalton" Because of the insult 'dolt' -> 'dolt one' -> 'Dalton'.

And Cyril is named as such: 'see, here's eel' -> 'see, e're eel' -> 'Cyril'

Dalton came first, and he is a jellyfish merman based off the pink meanie jellyfish found of the gulf of Mexico. He has translucent pink skin that can change colours depending on what he has eaten, long messy hair, human hands, and a massive skirtlike membrane at his waist that acts as the natural fleshy cover for his thousands of thin tendrils-- each loaded with extremely painful toxin.

The venom is fast acting and makes your skin slough off from chemical burn damage, and if you don't treat the stings, you could potentially die from blood loss (not the venom itself). Dalton is dumb as a sack of bricks (inspired by the fact that jellyfish don't have brains), obsessive, delusional, and sadly for you: extremely affectionate, with a touchy disposition. He'll cling to you every chance he gets.

Dalton is so stupid that he cannot feel pain-- for most merfolk, walking on land is agonizing. Dalton can't fathom this, and just continues to beach himself until he can crawl, his fragile membrane and tendrils drying out and ripping, spilling vital goop as they shift into legs. Each step would be extremely painful, but Dalton can't understand what he's feeling, or what's causing it. And because he doesn't know walking is what's causing it, he'll continue to walk, searching for his "best friends" who must have gotten lost. Dalton believes that Cyril, and you, are his best friends. And you must have gotten lost on your way to find him again. So he'll go out and find you, and everything will work out in the end.

Cyril is a smarter, yet sadistic merfolk, based off of the electric eel found in South America's Amazon River and Oronocio basin. Cyril, unlike Dalton, is a freshwater merfolk, and is capable of being drowned in the brackish water Dalton prefers. And unlike Dalton, Cyril can comprehend the pain in drowning. As well as the pain in being stung by venomous tendrils, and walking. Cyril has chronic pain (as most merfolk do). If he can avoid walking, he will.

He has long, greasy black hair-- washing it does him no good, as getting wet just turns his body back into his natural form, which causes him to secrete slick mucus. His skin is opaque, unlike a jellymer. If he doesn't show you his true form, you might just assume he's a lazy but bougie guy, adorned in gold jewelry he's stolen from other's homes before having to flee the scene. Despite his inactivity, Cyrils' body is on the leaner side due to his high metabolism. He has no visible muscle, but who really needs that when you're an ambush predator that can stun others anyways?

Cyril has worked many odd jobs that helped him live a more lavish life than just hunting and eating whatever got close enough to the river bank. He's acquired a taste for grapes, sliced and microwaved. Any hot fruit would do, but grapes are his favourite. This has become an integral part of his lore, because once Cyril learns of fruit, and then heating the fruit up, and all the devices you can use to heat food up (not just fruit, though he thinks its the height of luxury), and where those devices are stored... It's how Cyril ends up breaking into his darling's home in the first place. They have shelter, water, and all sorts of devices with which to make hot meals. And he needs for this to be perfect is someone who he can force to fetch him things from other rooms once he finds the couch.

He probably doesn't even like you at first. You're just someone he's bluffing out of his ass to let stay here. Cyril will use whatever tactics needed to make you let him stay. He'll go the pity route-- he's a poor misunderstood man, kicked out of housing, turned down everywhere because people don't agree with his life choices... He just wanted to crash here for the night, he didn't know you were here, he thought you were on vacation and he could squat here.

If that doesn't work, he'll resort to threats. He doesn't want to hurt you, he wants to mind his own business here, but if you call for help or tell anyone he's here against your will, he will kill them and you, before eating you. As much as it pains him to walk, he'll trudge over to your bathroom with you in tow, to show you his transformation in your shower/tub. He's a dangerous monster, and you don't know what he can do! His long tail wraps around you, slime secreted from his skin soaking through your clothes, constricting your ribs as he slowly crushes you, before you get hit with a painful shock-- knocking you to the ground and convulsing with painful spasms. Life for you will be easier if you just do what he says. It's not like he's asking for much anyways.

And at first, he's not. He's just asking you to fetch him some food every now and again, or to refill the cup he's been using for water. To buy him a laptop so he can work from home-- this way he'll pay for his own food, and you're not against that are you? Unless you like him mooching off your budget.

Cyril slowly gets more possessive as time goes on. It's not that he likes you; he likes your things, and he likes making you serve him, and he likes hurting you when you do something wrong. That's completely different than liking you. And you were three hours late coming home the other day. Cyril had to get himself a glass of water. Scandalous.

And while he thinks of it, he's not really a good threat if you start thinking you can stay out of the house, and avoid him. How is he supposed to hurt you if you're not around?

He should add a new rule: You have to start staying home with him more, and you have to be in the same room. And if you don't... Then he's going to start breaking your things, changing your password on everything, texting everyone your compromising photos and destroying relationships...

And if you refuse to come home... Then he's just going to have to get up and go hunt you down. You may have forgotten he can actually walk from how little he does it, but if need be he can track you down to the ends of the earth. Eel merfolk have a heightened sense of smell, so Cyril can track you down.

Dalton may stumble upon either you or Cyril one day-- a terrible mix of fate, because the idiot has just been wandering following Cyril, and you know Cyril, which means you're going to all be best friends.

Dalton doesn't mind you doing your own thing, he just wants to watch. He follows you everywhere, forcing himself through doors that you'd closed until they bust down so he can watch whatever you're doing, holding your hand, a grip on your legs, or resting his chin on your shoulder. If you leave the house before he can know where you are, there's a chance he'll go out to look for you-- you must have gotten lost again!

But if he has faith you'll come back, then Dalton will spend his days exploring your home. What happens when he sticks his hand or face in your oven? In the freezer? Through the window? What if he puts your sheets in his mouth? What does your soap smell like? Taste like? Dalton wants to know. And he'll find out everything about you.

Including you. Dalton is clingy, but he's exceptionally touchy. It's not enough to have you next to him, he needs to constantly touch you. Holding your hand is a large part of his day. But his fingers will find their way to your gums to inspect your blunt teeth and bumps on your tongue. Your eyebrows. Dalton opens your eyes with his fingers as he stares at how your pupils shrink and grow in response to light or the air he blows onto them. Bending your fingers and legs as far back as they can. He doesn't mean to hurt you, Dalton is just curious.

Dalton and Cyril can maintain human forms if they stay dry, but if they get significantly wet, their body shifts back into their true forms. A full shower will have Cyril a writhing mass of a slimy tail. And getting caught in a thunderstorm will have Dalton crawling around, ripping his fragile bell membrane, ripping out his tendrils. And while Cyril can intentionally use his ability to shock you regardless of if he's in his true form or not, Dalton's tendrils are only a danger to you if he's soaked and in his true form... Something he rarely thinks to do. All he cares about is following his favourite people around and being close to them. But if Dalton ever gets in a body of water and you're in arms reach, he will drag you into the water, wrapping his tendrils around you, the pain making you pass out in the bloody water...

When you wake up, perched on top of his bell membrane, Dalton apologizes-- he didn't mean to hurt you! He just wanted to swim with you! He doesn't even know how you got hurt! Maybe you just need to be held tighter? A cracked rib is a small price to pay if it keeps you awake, and in his mind, happy.

As far as merfolk go, they're both disasters. As far as yandere's go, they're completely useless. You'd be better off with literal leeches than these two bleeding you dry.

[luna--dragon]

Okay, time to fill you all in. I've been pretty absent from this blog for two reasons.

Firstly, my life is not great at the moment. I have a support system and I'm not going to be homeless anytime soon, but I also have virtually no money. I've been job hunting for 8 months now and I've only been offered interviews from scammers.

Secondly, I hate a lot of my content. People constantly say that it's good or that they like it, but I don't. Anxiety is a bitch and so every time I look at my content, I just cringe and beat myself up.

I know these are first world problems. But they're still problems.

I don't know how long I'm gonna stay off this blog. I've done a lot of self reflection and my local job centre is stepping up their game after hearing how bad it's been for me. Hopefully I can go back to regular posting in a week or two. However it's entirely possible that I could be gone for months or more.

I've contemplated deleting the blog, or just abandoning it and making a new one, but there is some stuff I'm proud of on here. I also think that, when my mental health improves, I might end up liking or loving most of my content. I'm probably going to purge some of my much older stuff though.

If I do end up deleting or abandoning this blog then I promise to give you guys a big heads up. No matter what happens this is not my final post. Just a kind of vent-y update.

[stellarstarcelios]

🎈 Updates | 9/10/2024 🎈

🎈 Hiiii, everyone. I usually do these kinda updates on other sites I'm on, but I figured I should start doing some here too. :)

🎈🎈🎈

🎈 Well, the job hunting has stopped for now. For those who don't know, I got a new job in June at a supermarket next to a small casino, and I started as a cashier. However, due to discrimination towards me and my mom for working on the sales floor and our ethnicity, I was moved to another department, the meat department. It's been very physically taxing on me, and now, I have to have wrist braces for my job. I'm not very fit at all and it's been a strain, but I have a backup plan for if it ends up not completely working out. I'm getting used to this new job in the meat department, but I don't know how well my body will be able to tolerate this much physical work with my weight and lack of muscles.

🎈 But, since the market's casino is a sister casino to a larger one, me and my mom are planning to move to the bigger casino when we hit our 3 months of employment. I think it'll be a lot better, because they won't let me be a cashier at the supermarket, and that was the only thing I knew how to do for a long time.

🎈 Life wise, I had to drop a bunch for bills this past two weeks, but I'm slowly getting back to a healthy habit of saving. It's been hard when I don't get paid more than my state's minimum wage for my experience and that barely covers living here. :(

🎈 But I've been making paper dolls, playing video games, and drawing to try and keep my mind clear so I don't freak out. I've had a couple of meltdowns due to being overwhelmed in my job in the meat department, but I'm starting to get used to it mentally. I just wish my body was physically used to it.

🎈 With my art, I'm mostly working on drawing some new OCs and putting them where I post my OCs. :) I have a bunch of new ones I've been meaning to post here and on my Toyhouse and CharacterHub. I'm also just trying to do simple, slice-of-life doodles for them so I can draw what makes me feel better and makes me happy. I'm doing my best to take care of myself, so I'm hoping things will get better within the next few months. :D

🎈🎈🎈

🎈 I think that's all I have for now, guys. :D I hope you have a good timezone, and please take care of yourselves, my friends!

up-dates!!!

1st off!: got my visa!!! finally!!!!!! actually, i got it on Wednesday but never found the energy to write here haha. oh! i graduated on Friday too and somehow talked the school into refunding the rest of the tuition. so everything went great in the end.

but seriously. i haven't write in so long, and i'll try my best this morning(rainy Sunday vibes yay!) to cover as much as possible. ok moving on---

i've been drawing/sketching on and off, and it sorta feels like a habit. lighthearted efforts and ease, something i rarely experience w/ making art since...since high school.

i've been updating more consistently on my blogs/twitter now. i got some response. some. not as much as one'd wish haha. but honestly, i felt so grateful that people are liking my stuff.

on the other hand, the job hunting has been going... well it has been going! not a ton of jobs being posted out there since early March, and i'm starting to realize that i'm only pretending to be really wanting certain positions. i got so accustomed to idea of working as a researcher/scientist, but. man. wasn't that why i left school in the first place, that i fucking hate it despite pouring ~10 years of my life into it and seemed to be going somewhere. having bright prospects and all. now that i knew. well. i need a little more time to think and un-think, to not rush ahead, and be complete honest w/ myself. getting the visa means i got all the time i want. so again, all worked out in the best way possible.

oh yea! birthday coming up in couple weeks! woo hoo! been planning a little overnight trip somewhere! probably 軽井沢 or 伊豆高原. idk! haven't gone anywhere not Tokyo/Yokohama since early Jan, and traveling alone is totally my thing! actually, growing older is so much cooler than i'd thought when i was in my early 20s. but like. past me: imagining feeling more grounded, taking things less seriously, and being more in tune with urself.

ok! dumping some photos seem like a good way to continue:

(reverse chronological order)

(コメダ I literally come here everyday now lol)

(graduation cert came with a bear! + my lamys... i'm not collecting them! they're super easy to write to write with and i adore the bright neon colors that's it!)

( i went to the 4D special viewing of prisoner of Azkaban and man---it worked so well w/ the 4D format. i mean it is the rainy/icy snowy one of the 8, so a lot of spraying water on your face situations! i was wearing a wide grin the whole time i guess. it was so much fun. that being said, i def shed a few tears near the end when harry realized no one's coming to save the two of em, so he stepped out and did what he didn't even know he's capable of. a scene my younger self never managed to relate to. but it def resonates now.

i love this movie so much, probably my fav out of all of them. watched it at the theater w/ dad when i was probably in...middle school or younger?)

(awww)

(the day i got my visa)

(date w/ S!)

(dinner later that night, w/ the gang)

(us, acting a little stupidly ha + interesting cards i took from the bar)

(last Sunday)

(the komeda near ogikubo station, it went all orange that day + cute lil book i might come back and buy later)

(the night i last hang out w/ A)

damn we're reaching the 30 photo/post limit

so guess that's that! i'm coming back to wrap up this epic photo dump soon(later today)

it felt so nice to just recounting my life, sharing all the bits and pieces on one had ever asked for. to me, it's a cute and ultimately therapeutic thing to do. my future self must be thanking me for taking the time to record everything haha.

anyway! see ya soon!

[threenorth]

Today was probably the best and worst day of my life.

Such a shit sleep but so freeing to hear such wonderful things talked about me, but only when they found it tis was his last day to be a full time worker at job-co.

Now the hunt begins again,

I've applied to new York and pittsburg, and Washington those would be nice in the future paying good too egh, depending whitch one but the job I really want is in Denver, it's both and it could be close for you...

Today I found myself day dreaming of you, getting distracted by what I was supposed to be doing and lucky caught myself at the right times as something happened or the call dropped or the person needed my moblie hot spot for YouTube was blocked.

I never left an outbox mail, just thought of people cared they would know why, and where to find me if they needed me.

Just to leave a feather in the sand.

Maybe it was poetic, maybe I'll post some photos of a Mai-Tai on Friday.

Till Friday, I think about you my dear...

It's late, and I should probably sleep as I'm trying to correct this terrible sleep schedule.

But I have messages to check...

Everything reminds me of you too, like the water being perfect temperature, the pen was flowing perfectly, the weather was a little over cast but spits of rain, to I still got the smell of rain, it was all reminding me of you, even the name James rings a bell of James potter, like the word I stole always from Harry Potter, without knowing it. It there's at least one thing a day that reminds me of you,

Here's my mine craft house goals.

I got a farm outside the front of my lake, and I chicken cope, and a lamb and cow pen on the right.

So stay tuned tommrow I need to re find my way to a zombie dungeon so 'driver' (Robert) can help me make a grinder, I traded a bow but I didn't have the level to repair it where this spawner will help get some levels by the time my study finishes up.

I am using netherack to find my way because of the loops and dips and holes for this one.

and then I need to make my house look "nice" but that might take some more time, then maybe get a subway system in the abbonded mine shaft, also in that tunnels of confusion.

then take a look at my own cave system is a nightmare, so I need more rocks to sort the right path maybe I'll use wool as I have alot of sheep's, and sort my mine cart system for sending resources up, we have a rail duper in the community center.

Anyway, back to messages.

You don't make mistakes in my eyes, just learning opportunities...

Well that's all I got to see update today.

P.S

I hope you go to Joe's, have a nice coffee it's Monday.

I hate mondys, but coffee makes it worth all the awhile, even if I had an energy drink.

I think you might like it, even if they changed the recipe slightly, it's called V it's the most common energy drink in nz and Australia,

I think you'd fall for it but you need to teach me how to shot gun, I hope it doesn't go in my face, but if does at least I'll laugh it off, or we'll try to...my favorite is blue, but a green is good too but nothing beats the taste of redbull, or wait actually I prefer all as I also like monster.

Author Update!!

Hey Y'all! Happy mid-November just about! Guess who's been working incessantly on NaNoWriMo? Been hard, but I think I've been doing a decent job!

Here's the update on my life:

Been doing house hunting with my partner basically every weekend, which DID in fact lead to me having a breakdown. Oopsies.

Guess whose dad apparently reached out again? I haven't read the letter. My partner tells me that my family's having some major surgeries again. Something something God still loves me.

I'm gonna get big fat gay married one day. Just a reminder to myself.

I'm... really struggling mentally, ngl. The shift into winter is always really hard for me. I've been running on abooooout 3 consistent hours of sleep at night, but I crash when I get home. It's ROUGH. But I think I'm on an upswing, hopefully.

And hey! I showered!!! And I"m brushing my teeth at least once daily! So. Progress! Be proud of me! (Plz)

But no, seriously. I'm really excited to start Chap 61, and get it posted. I know you all are just as hyped as I am. And this chapter was LONG, too, so I hope it feeds you well while I work on NaNo. I'm at around 15k right now, so a LONG way to go. We'll see how far I get -- but all words are good words, right? :)

Have a great day, yall

What's going on lately... (Part 1)

What a year! It's been a while since I last posted. I've been busy lately these couple of months and also gone through ups and downs lately. More of the downside honestly and by now I'm starting to get better.

To start off, one of the highlights was that a few months ago I got accepted to a good paying job with a similar role from my previous job which is a Travel Consultant. I've been through training and all that, later on I will talk about my training experience here on this company. Yeah, I was never really expecting to get accepted here, because its a HUGE company running for like for almost 200 years now. After I left my first job, I really took time to take some rest then little by little I was able to seek for other call centers that fits my experience and tenure, and of course it must be paying good. I only had 1 year and 6 months experience that time. But there are things that I've been grateful for from my previous company even though I only have few years of call center experience and that's when I was given a chance to take a trainer and support role. It was good thing that I didn't gave up that role. It was a huge value for me every time I apply for a job, I always bring it up to my interviews about my experience. They often ask me why did I have to leave if I am already growing at that company. I simply answer them, "Well, I wanted a new environment to learn more" which is I am craving for, I felt like I need more learning to this industry which is being a travel agent/consultant and of course again, it must be paying good. Hehe. I just really fell in love with the job of being a travel agent though it's mind boggling at times. During the course of my job hunting, I only applied for 2 companies which was where I am right now, and another one which was also well known but the pay is good but not comparing to where I am right now. Funny thing was I failed on this company then passed here. I don't usually believe in destiny but I felt like it. I waited for months for me to get started so I was really broke at that time. I was able to get a role but the recruiter has no exact starting date yet. I was really anxious that time because I was waiting for the uncertainty. Luckily, the company keeps on updating me every week and I was told that I will have to start by April tentatively. So I waited. While on waiting game, there was this church in Makati that I went on before I got a call from this company for an interview. So, I went there again for a prayer because I really believe in manifestation and prayers. One day, the recruiter contacted me if I am willing to start by March. I was so glad that I wouldn't have to wait that long anymore.

So to somehow cut the story short. Training was so fun and I get to meet a lot of people coming from different experiences from call centers. I learn a lot from them actually especially to our trainers and coaches, and I also met some has with the same experience and previous company as with me. I was the youngest on having call center experience among the team, and I felt challenged and proud of that. Why? For a year and a half I managed to get here knowing that this company is well-known and prestigious if you're going to talk about it in a call-center perspective. Though it's also a challenge because the fact that I only have few years of experience, I still have a lot of big shoes to fill in. In a call center world, you must be willing to adapt and learn in a short matter of time. It's a fast-paced world and uncertain due to management needs. So you must be flexible and ready in this world. So then, of course as part of the training you will also have to take in calls and meet all the metrics in able for you to get certified. I was really challenged at that point hitting all the metrics. At the first 2 weeks I get a lot of mistakes and a lot of things to improve. Honestly, I figured out that I was an experiential learner, and by the last few weeks I was able to get the hook of the whole process. During those times, I came to realize that all the learning that I acquired from my previous company still remains as a guide but the work-around is completely different from here. So, you must have to un-fill your glass again for at least and never resist to gain a new learning. You must follow your mentors because they are here to push you for the better. One of the metrics in able for you to pass or even get an incentive is you must have a survey and you have to target a specific handling time. But one thing I was really challenged about was my handling time. I often see myself over explaining and discuss a lot of things, and less of the rapport, I am a very transactional agent, I just want to get things done, but one thing I learned here is that in able for you to get a good survey is you have to leave a good remark to your clients, in a way that they wouldn't forget you aside from resolving their requests efficiently. I always ask to my team mates and mentors for advise on how to shorten the things that I must disclose to our clients for me to save my butt, and I also learned a lot of things when it comes to GDS processes. I came to realize that being on the travel industry is a really big spectrum because there are a lot of things to remember or be mindful of and some rules really changes. By that, little by little I get the hook of it. But I am still hungry for more like for me it's still not enough.

I was so close to get another week of remediation. During my last day of training, I already expected to be part of the remediation due to my high handling time. I was already expecting that our leader will be discussing it to me. But during my phone time, after that one stressful call, my coach told me "Huwag kang magalala Mau, ie-endorse ka naman ni LPS" and I hugged her so tight that I almost cried. In this world, you really have to value your metrics, because that's where all the money starts (incentives) and also the quality of the service you give will be a basis for the betterment of the management.

Luckily, I was able to get certified and be part of our graduation. I was so proud of myself of my achievement and was also thankful for our leaders who really fought for me and for the whole team. But other than that, I was really proud that I made it despite on what I was going through currently... (You may see it with Part 2)

Where I've been

So, aside from answering a few Asks here and there, I've been kind of AFK. The reason is because I've been job-hunting the past couple weeks and still am and also I finally started to play "Breath of the Wild", so I've been doing that a lot. But, I have also been poking at "Royal Rotation" when I get the time, so if you guys like some good Prince Varian action, look forward to that. Also, sorry about my tense answers to some questions, I tend to get really guarded when I feel uncomfortable and if I have said that I don't want to talk about something and it continues I get aggressive. I know that I haven't exactly been fair to some of you with my answers, especially about headcanons, and I'll try to do better in the future. Once I get a job, I don't think I'll be able to get stuff updated as fast as before, so please be patient with me. Money is tight, I am still in debt and I really need to get a job because commissions and Patreon aren't enough, especially since the only one commissioning me right now is my sister. On that note, I repeat, I am NOT taking requests. Please stop sending me Asks hinting, demanding, or asking for favors of certain art I would not normally do. It's not going to happen. My prices are in the pinned post. Also, editing to add, please stop sending me other peoples' art in my Askbox. The last time I actually replied to one of those, the artist came and told me to take it down and I don't want to deal with that again.

Steel My Heart fanfic WIP

So basically this fanfic is gonna be my take on the story Ginny Di's OC Temper "wrote" under the same title, Steel My Heart. After watching Ginny's vid with Edith & Augury, I got motivated to really work on this again (after my initial kick to after this tweet exchange (yes that's my main twitter, which I barely use))

—so I've decided to share what I have so far. If you haven't heard Ginny's ad with Temper (I cannot for the life of me find the vid with the world anvil ad she was in T^T), basically she's a blacksmith that moonlights as a writer; her current story is about an "adventurer who falls in love with [his] sword, but they can’t be together because the sword is so sharp, their love is dangerous."

I don't know how long it's going to take me to finish this fic, or if I'll actually write beyond the beginning/meet cute between the MC & the sword (in which case I'll release my brainstorming notes that have a lot of fun details). Once it IS done, I'll be posting it in a new post here, and on AO3. Links will be shared on Ginny's patreon discord too.

Anyway, enjoy the WIP as I update; or wait until I properly post the fic and enjoy the anticipation :)

UPDATES

March 5

[As this is a WIP, everything is subject to change. Also, it's not edited at all, so dont be surprised by mistakes/inconsistencies/etc.]

CH 1 - Woe to Weal

“How much can I get with—” Anneal paused as he dumped his coin purse on the bar and counted, meekly continuing, “three silver?” He was down to his last coins. He didn’t enjoy relying on the sympathy of others, but he had no choice but to bank on it.

The barkeep gave him a pitying look before going back into the kitchen. Hopefully that was good. There hadn’t been much in the way to scavenger or hunt on his way into this village, so any food would be good. On cue, his stomach growled like an owlbear. Not that it could be heard over the boisterous group that stumbled in, making everyone turn and look. A hallow pang turned Anneal’s head back to his measly fortune.

A fortune that was swiftly swiped up by the barkeep. In its place, a plate of food and a stein of mead were set. And the key for a room.  He was about to thank the barkeep but one of the new, rowdy patrons all but slammed into the bar beside him. “Good friend, some drinks and food, if you please!” the halfling lilted. “And later some rooms so we may rest at ease.”

They eyed the gold she offered, then the group of hers who were all lost in their own conversation. “You’re adventures.”

“That we are, indeed. And we’re open for hire, should you so need,” she honeyed on.

“Yeah, actually.” They reached under the bar and pulled out a small flier. “Go see the mayor. She’ll give you the details. If you can manage to handle this tonight, you can imbibe and stay for free.”

“Well well, what a deal—”

“Sorry,” Anneal cut in, “but is this request open to all adventurers?”

They both looked at him. The barkeep raised their brow as they looked him over again. “You’re an adventurer?”

“I am.” Anneal cleared his throat, then straightened up and adjusted himself. “I admit, I’m… a bit down on my luck at the moment, but I can hold my own.”

A strong hand clamped on his shoulder. It seemed that the halfing’s group had been listening in and were all now circled behind me. The orc woman leaned in close. “Trying to be competition, little man?”

She could easily snap him in half—he had mixed feelings about that. “No, no!” he quickly defended. “I—I’m clearly no competition for the four of you.”

“Correct,” she said.

“I merely meant more of a… partnership? If you will—if the job is even something that would benefit from more fighters?” He glanced to the barkeep, hoping his desperation wasn’t noticeable to everyone.

It was.

The barkeep shrugged. “Hell if I know. Mayor knows more,” they deflected, then promptly removed themself from the situation developing between all of the adventurers.

Anneal slowly turned and faced the group he callously interjected himself into for this job they knew nothing about. Their expressions ranged between friendly, curious, reluctant, and unimpressed.

The orc spoke up again. “So, how do you fight? You look like fragile magic wielder.”

“Uhh…” He didn’t enjoy being called fragile, but compared to her, it was fitting. Especially with how scruffed up he was at the moment. “Well, I guess it’s sorta like magic.” He flicked his hand and in it appeared a spectral dagger. “Right now, these are all I got. But I know how to fight with other weapons, too. I’m best at being sneaky and such. You know—rogue shit.”

She nodded acceptingly. “Not bad. Maybe we work on more fighting skills for you.”

“Wait, so… you’re all fine working together?”

“We all fall on hard times at least once. It’s always good to help others when you can.” The elf with pastel hair held out her hand. “I’m Cerromet.”

“Anneal. Nice to meet—ahh!” When he went to shake her hand, a small creature jumped over Cerromet’s shoulder and tried to bite his hand. Luckily, he withdrew in time.

Acting fast, Cerromet turned her hand and grabbed the little psudo-dragon by the belly. She held the fang-bearing creature to her chest and pet it sweetly below its chin. “Sorry about Bloom. She’s just hungry.”

“She’s not the only one!” piped up the gnome. She hopped up on the stool beside him and leaned over for a better look at the plate the barkeep left him. “It’ll be nice to have some actual food instead of goodberries.”

“I’m sorry the ones I make are so sour,” Cerromet pouted with a little attitude. “That’s just how my magic is, Pen.”

The halfling leaned on the bar and stole his stein of mead. She took a swig then said, “I’m Burr, by the way; and Bi’Kern is our burly friend. She’s tough, for sure, but kind in the end.”

“I don’t mean this as a criticism, but just an honest question. Do you always speak in rhyme?” Anneal asked.

“It’s more fun to speak in song. Try it sometime and tell me I’m wrong.”

“Do you ever not speak in rhyme?”

“You’ll sooner see ancient dragons fill the sky, than you’ll hear a lilt fail from I.”

“Okay, okay… what’s a rhyme for orange?”

Bi’kern smacked the back of his head. “Stop being ass. Just drink already.” Burr made a point to start chugging the drink she stole from him while conspicuously returning to the table they had claimed.

— — —

Fun Notes: Most main characters are blatantly based off Ginny’s other OCs, and renamed after smithing terms (in case it doesn't come up later in the story, Pen is short for Pennyweld). Also, going to be adding various quests Ginny has made too (can you guess what this first one is gonna be?)

[almondcroissantsandink]

It’s not full time but it’s to be a project archivist for this esteemed historical collection and I wouldn’t have to work my bookstore job anymore and it’s not a permanent job but it’s like stepping halfway out of the trenches and I feel like I’m currently filled with light???

notes

This blog is my main blog. I pretty much just put whatever I like on here. My queue is large, and posts once about every 120 minutes.

I tag fandoms and ships, but usually I don't tag spoilers. I try my best to wait before posting anything about new episodes/updates/etc because of that, but if I've posted too soon, it's okay to ask me to tag it! Just know that spoiler-free is not a guarantee.

I'm generally a multishipper, even if I have favorites.

Feel free to send me asks! If I'm uncomfortable I'll just tell you that I am, no hard feelings as long as you're being nice.

You can tag me in anything. I will not mind. In fact, I'll probably be excited to see what you wanted to show me.

For anybody being nosy: yes, I am over 18. That is the most specific I will get. Do not ask me for my age.

housekeeping

AKA: here are some vague discourse opinions so you can avoid me if you disagree instead of trying to drag them out of me. I might reblog stuff discussing or affirming these ideas, but I prefer to avoid debates and arguments.

When it comes to fiction and/or fandom, I have squicks, but it's not my job to police you and it is not your job to cater to me. I do my best to care as little as possible about things I don't like, and I'd suggest others do the same. Filtering and blocking things you dislike will almost always be better than engaging with it (or its creators) or calling for its removal.

No one can dictate what labels and/or pronouns a person uses but that person themself, and good faith identities should be respected. It's basic courtesy.
