#ive been working up this idea for 3 YEARS

The case won't stay cold forever.

YO? YO??? YOOOOOOO!??!?!? I posted this on Instagram but imma post it here too! I'm working on something BIG, my very own comic. It features a lot of my object head and human ocs that live in this universe.

The story of a case gone cold 8 years ago in Pralsbridge, California. The disappearance and supposed death of Calloway Jones, Chips Gamesmens old business partner, and the murder of Charlene Allard, a bartender who worked at Royal G. Casino.

The comic will include sub plots and daily life chapters as well as the main plot of the Calloway Case. I've been working on developing characters and plots for years now, and finally it's coming together.

I'm working on the cover art rn, and I already am almost done with the first page of chapter 1! I also have multiple chapter summaries done aswell. I hope you all are as EXCITED as I am.

Here's some old refs of some of the main characters. Chip Gamesmen, Torano Leone and Eight Duval

Perplexing to me. My health issues have made major progress, like eons of progress from 3 years ago and i am truly really grateful and hopeful.

But i also still wake up every morning with abdominal pain for a few hours :/ every day.

Gosh, Ive been in such a writing slump for like almost a year now and Im just. So tired. I just wanna create!! I wanna write something again! But anytime I look at one of my WIPs I just can’t get myself into any of them and I mean its very possible that's also just a side effect of being so rusty and not writing for so long and the fact easy distraction like youtube is just a click away but then again it just feels like the creative juices won’t flow and its killing me ;_; I want to Write, I want to Create and I want to share it again, and maybe its just that I miss posting my work and interacting with fandom and having that fan-obsession so there's a question there to consider what exactly Im missing but... damn I really do just wanna write again and feel how good that feels to be creative ;_;

This just sucks man...

I'm at the painful "confession" scene during the kage summit arc. It really is so emotional, but also... hm.

When I was younger, like 13 or so, I was a big Sakura and Naruto shipper. They were the first pairing I read fanfic for even. And in a way, I do still enjoy the two of them together... but it's moments like these that really drive home the fact that it Doesn't really work in canon. Not the way that it's set up.

As Sakura puts it, "Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke! That's all you think about!"

She's told that Naruto has feelings for her and decides to use it to convince him to stop going after Sasuke. She does love him, but not in the way she's trying to confess. The love they share is one of comradery, not necessarily romantic. The love of two people who have gone through such pain together, and who have leaned on each other throughout it all. And the fact that she's turning around and saying she loves him "simply like everyone else", now... it's trivializing. And the fact that she's trying to convince him of this, the fact that she thinks she Can convince him of this, is pretty hurtful. They've come a long way from when they were kids, Naruto the goofball vying for her attention while she yelled at him for being stupid. Sakura respects Naruto so much more than before, and Naruto respects her too. So the fact that she's still doing this... She's desperate, really. She thinks the promise he made to her to bring Sasuke home is what's driving him to let himself be hurt over and over and over again in the pursuit and protection of Sasuke.

But she's wrong.

That may be part of it, but it's only part. Naruto wants Sasuke back for himself, too. He let himself be beat up to avoid selling him out. He chases after him with single minded determination. Sasuke is his entire drive to get stronger, to catch up, to bring him home. Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke indeed.

As it is, Naruto knows she's lying to herself. And no matter what she says, he will keep going after Sasuke. Because that's just the person that Naruto is.

Thinking about that one time a friend of mine was mad that I wasn't more of her friend and I remember sitting at a table in a beer garden as she yelled at me for this and not understanding what I had been doing wrong considering she and I hung out all the time and the problem was I didn't seem like I wanted to spend time with her.

Writing my thoughts here cuz I'm still mentally organizing this idea in my head

The idea: A small scale convention-like event in Seattle mostly about Valve games, sort of an extension of Meet the Mercs.

The main details: A single day event, likely from 11:00am to 8:00pm. Would likely be in the Grand Hyatt Seattle, like the first MtM, but now occupying two halls instead of just the one. One hall would feature 10-15 vendors selling Valve-focused merchandise, though other games are allowed. The other hall would be a stage area for panels, the autograph booths for the TF2 cast, and some table seating.

The financial stuff: Vendor booths would probably be around $75 for 10 x 10, $100 for 10 x 20. Tickets would probably be $50 with one free autograph included, similar to how we did MtM, or a regular admission being $25 or something like that. One Grand Hyatt Seattle hall was about $350 last time, so having two halls would be more costly. Keeping in mind talent cost and Robin's travel costs as well. This would not be cheap.

Marketing: Advertise online via social media, having the VAs and the cosplay community post about it. Hand out flyers about the event at local conventions in the months before the event itself. Probably build a carrd website for the event itself.

Other details: Have lanyards and badges to come with the tickets, featuring artwork made by the community. Possibly sell merchandise with the event logo as well? Although, most of that would rely on making back the production costs instead of contributing to the cost of the event itself. Panel space would be limited, but I'd rather give outsiders an opportunity to submit and possibly present a panel rather than have all the panels be solely presented by others working the show. We would need a lot of volunteers, and we would need to do interviews with them to make sure they're qualified.

I don't think this would be an annual con either. This would be a one and done event. I don't really see the need to do this annually since it's just a tiny little event.
