So....

I've been gone for a minute 😅😅. Lol, life has reached PEAK stress and I'm honestly blaming Mercury Retrograde idc, idc 👏🏿👏🏿.

Life Stuff

Ive been SOOO busy with work! The months of July and August, I can say that I wasn't able to write as much as I would have liked to. And typically, we can consider that as like a break, but the problem was of course, work chewing me up.

(I am starting a new job, hopefully soon BUT I think for the first 5 months it's going to be very intense, and then hopefully it will smooth out and settle itself. Fingers crossed 🤞🏿🤞🏿). With that being said, I'm trying to get this update out before I start because I really don't know how much time I'm going to be able to allocate to this project.

Writing Updates

So as of today, I have around 22k+ words written for Episode 1 AND Intermission 1. I like to hop around when I write so I've been kinda jumping around to different scenes and filling those out.

Overall, I would say that I'm not even 1/18 of the way finished. Like most of the word count is associated with "To be Well" Route and its due to a lot of branching options. I'm trying to figure out a way to better organize the document so that I'm not getting confused in what I'm putting down, but I still haven't found an organization style thats sticking 🥴🥴

The good news is that I've finally finished outlining the entirety of Episode 1. I didn't like how To be Well was plotted out, so I scratched that re-did it. And then for "Search and Destroy", I've been re-assembling the chapter outline and am satisfied with how it looks. The only section that hasn't been fully outlined is the Intermission. However, I do have the basic plot points I need to touch on. As soon as I get done with both routes I can focus more on developing the chapter outline for that.

Other Stuff

Working on the RO guide. That will be released alongside the next update, only because the current version doesn't have much RO interaction. Besides gratuitous flirting with Tama, and him playing hard to get. Also we can't forget SPOILERS. Cause they're gonna be DEEP in that doc 🤭🤭

I need to put up the summary/Intro post for Mabaroshi. Like its written, and I know what i wanna do with it. But the summary i have for it, doesn't bring me joy (Marie Kondo, please help me 🙆🏿‍♀️🙆🏿‍♀️). When I'm at least half-way done with Episode 1 of ATOH, which FEELS like it won't be for a while. I'll be able to focus on reshaping and editing the summary.

Other than that~ I don't really have much else to report on? Of course my asks are always open. I'm gonna be slow to responding tho, so please give me grace y'all 🙏🏿🙏🏿. Anyway, I love you all, stay safe 🤎🤎🤎

That Cinematic Where Uther and Sylvanas Talked in Shadowlands Plus Everything that Led Up To It Except Now I Like It

Fuck ittt, reposting this cos it's the 2 year anniversary of this wall of text hyperfixation comic I ACTUALLY DID finish, but was only an imgur link bc tumblr didn't support enough images before. putting this shit directly on the good bad site where it belongs

uh ok imagine the blades of grass things in the jailer's hand here are actually like glowing threads of her soul. i could prob color just this part to make it more clear but my body goes limp like a marionette when i think about exerting that small amount of effort to make my comic more legible

this ^ is one page i would maybe color sometime, actually one of my fave things i've drawn tbqhhh

#im sure some of this made more sense when it was fresh lmao #some of this even i was like HUH.gif abt rereading it #warcraft #sylvanas #uther #repost #windrunners #nathanos #visit my tumblr for the epilogue a few posts back if u missed it #this version would still end with tyrande kicking sylvanas into the maw like leonidas

So does he, Gallagher.

#honkai star rail #hsr blade #gallagher #i based this off of how many times i used funny soda man to help be a healer with his poppin soda pop in SU #and then blade constantly just being blade as usual #its normally him saying unnecessary to my actual healer but #i kept forgetting gallagher heals and i kept healing when i didnt even need to so TECHNICALLY yeah it was unnecessary #but the amount of times blade was the recipient......#i cant use like most of my newer units in story bc i cant ascend or i run out of leveling mats so i just #get them and toss them into simulated universe for funsies cause i can match their levels better #so thats where i tossed gallagher and he is genuinely fun to play as ? like i love his punches and kicks to start the battle #funny soda man is funny (to me) and im really behind in plot still #but last time i tried to play it on my laptop and got a kickass cutscene my laptop lagged and i couldnt even see it RIP to me #so now that its like ... me trying to play it on desktop ?#i mostly get on desktop for comms and if i do much else i feel like im slacking off even if i would take a break anyway #one day i can play more story plot stuff and actually meet the funny guys #also in case you know me for Not Having Boys in HSR i need to point out #i did pull Gallagher however same 10 pull got a 4 star girl copy for someone i never use and she is at e4 now cool #and i didnt even think of the irony as i started this i just like drawing blade and i wanted to draw gallagher #so when i already had the dialogue planned and am drawing i was like OH WAIT haha im funnier than i thought #(no i am not but we can pretend)

Nona the Ninth is such an experience to (re)read because you spend just over 200 pages -- a full 40% of the book!! -- being deeply confused, thrust headfirst into a brand new world. there are familiar people, but none of them are people we've spent much time with Before, so even that familiarity is limited. and then not only is everything around you SO different, the narrator just doesn't care about anything that happened Before. Nona zones out during important conversations or is physically pushed away from having the type of information that could orient the reader, so for like 200 pages you have been aclimated to this very slow, drip-feed of information.

and then you get The Broadcast, which feels like a cold bucket of clarity, or like if you were inside a bucket (perhaps initially resistant but now growing quite comfortable with your predicament) and then suddenly dumped out of that bucket into a freezing lake. in 5 pages we get more direct information than we've been given thus far but it's so fast and so much and for half of it Nona's comprehension is hampered because it's just audio, no faces, that the reader goes from being parched to drowning. the slow drip turns into a fire hose.

Ianthe is here and, inexplicably (though of course later explained), a brunette. Gideon's body is here, and extremely dead. the girl Nona has been dreaming about is Gideon. Ianthe's biting commentary is both comfortingly familar as well as deeply disquieting; the enemies of the Empire's forever war no longer being mysterious, unnamed forces but Nona's friends and the city she loves so much.

and then the book just. does not let up from there. the firehose continues for 300 more pages. you've been lulled into complacancy by 200 pages of Nona's School Days Adventure, but Situations have come to call. this is still the Locked Tomb Series, and your respite is over.

#guess which part im at in my reread #tlt meta #nona the ninth #trb.txt #tlt thoughts #like the field trip to see we suffer kicks it up a little but the broadcast is still SUCH an intensifier #i remember when i was reading it the first time #at 12am when it dropped #i was like ill start it and finish it over a few days #and then i got to the broadcast and was like oh. i cant stop now #and then i couldnt stop for the rest of the book #stranglehold

There's a disabled angel in good omens 🥺

#listen im only in episode two and i know there's some drama going down but im focusing on this lol #i love that not only do they show the angel using a wheelchair and being ambulatory #but they also visibly show them miracling innaccessibility issues so that they Can still use the chair #instead of just getting rid of the disability #part of my is conflicted bc im like... there's disabilities in heaven? and that makes Me sad bc my disability is hell and painful as fuck #But getting rid of disability in fantasy is eugenist crap and showing that god made a disabled angel is a net good thing #while it personally makes me sad to think if there was a heaven i could still be in pain all the time #not all disabilites are bad and need to be cured we're a wide spectrum and we've been fighting for disabled rep esp in fantasy for ages #it's objectively good my personal feelings about my own disability aside #part of me thinks it's cliche to say 'you were made perfect' bc they're an angel But it's not we literally havent had this type of rep lol #anyways it made me happy to see #and im so glad it's a power chair user that's ambulatory it's important for abled ppl to see that #anyways y'all keep your drama and spoilers off my post im not far in and im only talking about this shoo #oh also!! love the fantasy hover chair they use in heaven specifically too i wish we had that it kicks ass #p

how about that uhhhhh Fantasy Julie. she gets her sword <3 no one can take it from her <3

rambles:

SIKE you get an extra, lower quality doodle

SIKE AGAIN here's the rambles

yeah... i caved and gave her a tail... I'm Not Sorry! it's cute! i wanted to stick with her sorta flower motif - it's stronger in her princess look, since I imagine that when she was part of the royals she was very blatantly flower power based. it was her Thing!

but a Julie free of her noble shackles... she deserves her big sword. like yeah, she has flower magic, but who needs it when she has a Giant Blade??? on the royalty vein, and if we're classifying "rainbow monster" as a species, i feel like horn size/curve would be a status symbol of some kind. maybe Julie would have kept her horns filed short. but if she ran away from that life... longer horns! i like to imagine that they'll keep growing until she has a pair of Extra Weapons attached to her head! curved forward like mammoth tusks maybe!

i imagine that like Frank, she goes with minimal armor - range of movement over protection, yk? some scale mail over her front, a thick leather flower over her chest w/ scalloped leather pauldrons, wrist armor and metal knuckles! i'd think that the faux-suspenders include a back sheath for her sword... i wish i'd thought of that Before i finished the little ref! i don't feel like going back and editing!

i imagine that she was forced to cut her hair when it got caught in something (a gelatinous cube, mayhaps). it didn't look good! don't let anime and Mulan fool you! cutting your own hair with a blade will not look nice! but someone - Eddie, probably, he's good with scissors i'd assume - cleaned it up for her. and hey, it didn't look bad! plus, Julie probably liked being able to just tuck up her long strands into her hat when she's feeling a bit more like a Julius than a Julie!

it's been a fun challenge transforming their canon outfits into a similar variation with fantasy flavoring and twists! i want them to suit the setting but still maintain Themselves! Julie's was tough i gotta admit. i was messing around with the princess look and the fighter look side-by-side. it worked better when i sat back and thought "fighter Julie is Julie unrestrained. that version would be more aligned with her canon look"

i wanted her princess form to look Restrained! she has to be a ~delicate flower~, a noble woman, pristine and poised and very much a princess. soft colors, poofy clothing, bright white gloves that are not to be sullied. carefully bundled up hair! jewelry! that dress must be Heavy and hard to move in! her tail must be so cramped under there!

but Julie Unleashed? violent pinks! rose gold accents! short skirt so that she can sprint and Kick! fun boots that she can be active in and delight in watching them get dirty! her hair is free to whip in the wind and get caught in things! fun straps and Deadly Accessories! a sword that she stole from the royal armory on her way out the window! she has forearm wraps both to match Frank and to support her wrists!
