Life Update for 2023. (It's a long one.)

For those that follow me on other social media platforms, you already know what's been happening and I appreciate the love and support.

For those that don't, I feel like this is long overdue. Especially to my 'crash through the surface' readers. I promise I will give you the ending you deserve.

To start, this has been a hell of a year. So many unexpected things have happened in such a short time frame that it's hard to convey just how crazy it's truly been.

I gained a new sister with whom my father had out of an affair before he died 23 years ago, although she is wonderful in every way, so I guess I can thank him for at least giving me another beautiful sister.

We met at the beginning of the year and have stayed close ever since. It's like we've known each other forever. The first half of the year was very exciting for me. I had a new sister, got to do so many fun things and work the Vampire Diaries/Originals convention for Creation Entertainment. Truly an amazing few months. I was so excited to find out how the rest of the year would go. I was even in the mood to start writing again.

But then the unimaginable happened. My 8 year old blue heeler, Lucy, had what we thought was a benign fatty lipoma (she had all the signs) removed at the beginning of July that turned out to be a high grade mast cell tumor that was basically untreatable and irreversibly fatal.

Ironically, we got the news two weeks after her surgery, on the 23 anniversary of my dad's death... from cancer. I was completely devasted. I could tell immediately that her vet did not want to give me that news. I asked every question I could think of and was told there was nothing I could have done to prevent it, nor would Chemo even work at that point, it was already too far progressed. He told me to ignore the estimated remaining life span noted in her test results (less than 4 months) and to just love and spoil her everyday. I told him I already do that, but I did go the extra mile for her anyway.

We had a good rest of the summer, all the way through September she showed no signs, other than the metastatic growth of the cancer cells in the same area on her belly, forming twice as worse than before. But she didn't mind, and just continued to live her best life.

I told her that she would get to see her Uncle soon, my younger brother, when he came to town for our new sister's wedding at the end of September (he walked her down the aisle, hella cute btw.) She loves loves loves her uncle, and was beyond excited to see him.

And I swear to you she stayed as strong as she could just to be able to see him one last time because on the day he left, her tumors ruptured and her health started to rapidly decline. I did all that I could for the month of October to keep her here with me. We bandaged her up so the bleeding would stop, she got medication from the vet, but there was only so much that could be done. She stayed so strong though, I could tell she was a fighter, still with a smile on her face.

But in that last week, when the medication no longer worked and she lost that smile and had that look on her face, a look of intense pain and just all around defeat, I knew she needed me to carry her strength.

She silently told me that she was ready and I made the call that changed my life forever. So on October 25th, we said our goodbyes and she fell asleep in my arms before waking up on the other side of the rainbow bridge where there was no more pain or fear.

She was my entire world and I, hers.

It's been a month now, and it still hurts every day, but every day is a little better than the last. The second half of the year has really changed me in so many ways. My life is so different now, because my entire life revolved around taking care of her. And I wouldn't have changed it for anything. Lucy was never a people person kind of dog, she did not like strangers or other animals. So if I wasn't working, I was at home with her. The times I had a social life or travelled were rare and far between.

But she's gone now and my life belongs to just me again. It's a strange feeling really, not having that kind of dependency anymore, but I revel in it at times.

I've travelled more in the last month than I have in years as keeping myself busy and away from an empty apartment helps. I will be going to New York for the first time this New Year's Eve, which is amazing and so exciting.

I confess that at first I felt the guilt of being able to do fun things at her expense of being gone. But her being gone was not anyone's choice, it was just something that neither of us could control and I had to end her pain when it was still beginning rather than have her suffer more than she already was. I know that. I would just rather have her with me for a few more years than be able to do fun things. She was my fun thing. ♥

With all that being said, I am at a very different stage in my life now that involves me getting back into the things that make me happy, which is writing.

I never intended to go this long without updating this story, but then life, like the one I've lived this year, happens and certain things just take precedent over other things.

I will be getting back into 'crash through the surface' very soon. I've thought about it more in the last few weeks than in a long time. So to my readers both (potentially) new and old, thank you thank thank you for the love on what we have so far. The story is far from over.

Also a huge thank you to everyone who has me on Facebook and Instagram and keeps up with my craziness, I truly adore all of you.

And if you don't but want to: @hollyelizabeth3

Check @ctts-au for what I’m talking about

[runin-reads]

Some angst for my prongsfoot teen pregnancy AU: what if Sirius feels really guilty for knocking James up because he knows how traditional Mr and Mrs Potter can be, and doubts if he can give James the happy, stable family he deserves. In Sirius’ eyes, James deserves the typical suburban married life, a life that Sirius could never quite envision for himself in the past. Yet now they’re barely adults themselves. They’re an unmarried, visibly queer couple in the 70s. Imagine all the anxiety surrounding that on top of revising for their NEWTs and figuring out their future career paths.

“You’re pretty good at that,” Aster says idly as he reorganizes things in the office of the inn.

Haar glances over his shoulder then turns back to the screen, continuing onto the next level of the game. “Once I learn how to do something, I learn how to do it more efficiently.”

“And what you’re doing is called..?”

“Speedrunning.”

“And you do this for the whole game?”

“Yes.”

“I guess this is why you’re so good at strategizing and fighting and all that.”

The character on screen dies as Haar sighs and sets the controller down. “My wife was actually much better at it.”

Aster pauses and debates if he should continue this conversation but Haar doesn’t seem upset. “Really?”

Haar nods. “Yeah. She used to be the leader actually. I had to learn everything and take over after she died because it was so sudden.”

“What did you used to do before?”

“Stayed at home, taking care of Caecus. She was much better at everything else and it was all for our village and family. I think people thought I’d be too soft since I had no experience in governing before it was passed to me.”

“And they learned to respect you?”

“I’m not sure really, but I earned it somehow.” Haar looks down at his hand, his thumb running over the two separate marks around his ring finger. One for his wife and one for Solaris. “I think she would’ve liked to meet him.”

“Are they anything alike?”

“Caecus often says they’re pretty similar. Which is true I suppose, they both love Caecus a lot and…”

“They had a lot on their shoulders but hid it?”

Haar puffs out a fond laugh. “Yeah… Aster.”

“Yes?”

“Is it true that the Spokesperson of the Sun only lives up to a certain age?”

“Where did you hear that?”

“Aster.”

“I wouldn’t know, I’ve only known Solaris and there’s not many records of the previous Spokespersons’ lives.”

“Because they’re not supposed to be among the people much?”

“Yeah.” Aster turns back to the shelves.

“So it’s only hearsay.”

“Probably.”

“I see.”

“Besides, I think Solaris would tell you and considering I haven’t heard it either, I doubt it’s true.”

“That’s fair, I suppose.”

Aster sighs and comes down the ladder. “Hey, you’re not gonna lose him. He fought against the Sun a lot to just get here. He’ll be fine.”

“…You’re right.” Haar stands and goes to the window, looking out in the direction of the hill that’s so important to Solaris.

Going against the Sun’s wishes so much has to have consequences and he’s just waiting for the day Solaris has to answer for it.

And possibly lose him too.

tbh the song they put together for The Boiled One Phenomenon for dead air was actually pretty good.

I wanted to see about making a background and potentially sprite art? But I have a lot of other things so I don't know if I will.

Posting the WIP background 1 sketch for showing off

Chapter Eighteen of 'crash through the surface'

Food truck fun, some dancing, and a new tattoo.

"Pyp still owes me money from that last round of cards we played when we were out looking for the Targaryen ship.”

“Wait, you guys played with real money instead of just betting with the snacks we hide in our rooms?! That’s total rubbish, I would have wiped you lot clean if that were the case!”

“For that to happen, you have to stop ogling Arya long enough to play a decent game, dear brother.”

The "Jimin only loves and recognizes army, not solos" brigade being the SAME people who don't stream, don't support or vote for him, but still trying to flex the ONLY line of the song they read from a SCREEN SHOT without actually hearing the whole song is quite circus act, besties.

#lol the amount of ot7 i saw on the day CTT dropped saying that pjms were prolly crying at that 7 = 1 line #meanwhile PJMS were the only ones actively streaming & hosting buying parties 'cause OUR fanbases were the ONLY ones with actual money #while big ot7 fanbases with over 30K followers were seen crying and BEGGING their followers to donate 'cause they were out of funds lol
