I bashed out a short fic featuring Alston. It needs some cleaning and a few added details but once I do that and make some people read it for child behavior analysis then I’ll probably post.
To be clear on this: I don’t know how much I will do with Al. He’s a nice addition to the post war stuff, but my main focus has always been the war and it’s effects on the MIC characters. I’m not as familiar with post war/civilian life coping strategies (and neither are the characters tbh). There’s also a LOT of behind the scenes fretting over writing proper child behavior and development, while also trying to create an entirely new yet reasonable set of milestones for a half-elf child. This, of course, would require a set of developmental milestones for both human children (have that, with a lot of help from one of my awesome readers and friends!) AND elf children (which we very much do not have and have to science the shit out of with what scraps Paolini gave us). So essentially making two whole new behavioral and developmental milestones guides. This is not something I ever thought I’d be researching.
There’s also the more nitty-gritty science of how elf and human genetics and traits would mash up and how they would present or be removed/buried. That’s more my speed. If I continue writing stories about Al it can give me a chance to introduce the more science-y explanation stuff I’ve been cultivating over the years regarding how elves work physically, ie bone strength to resist their natural enhanced strength, why eating meat isn’t just an ethical choice for a majority of elves, the more draconic traits that were passed down via the bond, and other fantasy-and-magic-meets-somewhat-plausible-explanation stuff. These things have long been a part of why I wrote MIC and why I keep coming back to it.
So. Anyway. I’ve sort of forgotten why I was writing this. On mobile and have a bloody wicked headache and don’t want to scroll up. Al is a new canon addition to the MIC post-war, but once I get the short fic out don’t come clamoring asking for more. You can always ask me general questions about Al, but some things I want to reveal via story rather than exposition, so some things won’t get a straight answer.
Looking forward to getting the short out soon! I also do commencement/walk for graduation this coming Saturday, and I finished my (hopefully) last final exam as an undergrad today. So. More time for tumblr, writing and research for writing 😁 ask me questions!! Not just about Al but about anything MIC! And I’ll actually have time to answer!
Thank you to everyone who sent me words of encouragement via asks. I would like to have a very sincere thank you to @albywritesfiction who has helped me with coding.
Notes:
There are now saved slots, so you are able to save your progress, and I have changed that you will now not have a set personality, but now you are going to be building your personality, which will affect certain situations. Please, if you find any mistakes in coding or grammar, please message me via Tumblr to fix the problem. I want to make this the best possible interactive fiction and story that I can, so I will be very grateful for your help. I also have changed some names around so if you see a few things different then do not fret to much or just feel free to ask about it.
itchcock: This is the best summary of the Okinawa shoot... The blank space.. You all did a great job.. I'm sorry and thank you to our staff
SHINee finished their MV shooting yesterday and it seems like they were directed by btsfilmstudio, the same studio that directed & was in charge of editing Onew's O (Circle) and many other mvs like IU Last Night Story and TVXQ Changmin Maniac!
Also KEY Gasoline's photography director will take part in this project too! (the second pic is from his igs)
(little fact about the studio director he doesn't accept to work for a song he doesn't like!) *talking about Circle
itchcock: if the song is not good I'm not working on it 🤣
I just read that there is a "baffling decision" made for Ilsa's character in Dead Reckoning Part One. I am going to wait for spoilers, and if she dies, I am never watching another Mission Impossible movie, including DRP1. Because THAT would be a truly baffling decision, one that would kill my enthusiasm for the entire franchise.

Chapter Summary:
Outside, the streets had shaken off the last vestiges of their winter slumber; the café tables were out in force, and full till late into the evening with citizens enjoying the pleasant weather, despite the air of trepidation and uncertainty that the cholera continued to inspire. It was a peculiar mood, though one that might yet be turned towards a greater purpose – a sense of directionless, restless anticipation; a waking and shaking out of the dust and cobwebs of the previous year's disappointments. Life stubbornly persisting, despite it all.
Hi everyone, Sorry that I have been so late on asks, but I have been working really hard at school at the moment. While I have been writing some in between My Inner Sins: Book 1 and an outline for another IF, I haven't made a lot of progress, which I apologize for. However, I am still working hard to finish My Inner Sins. Hopefully the update will not be a long wait, but I'll keep you guys all updated.
