MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT
for anyone who cares, i’ll be taking a temporary leave from tumblr because the IF community unsurprisingly has become something spurned by personal vendetta and hate. this wasn’t really something i cared about initially but the type of asks in my inbox + people trying to dox me online is something which is taking a toll on my already unstable mental health.
i’ll probably be passing off both my blogs to a trusted friend or my girlfriend. either that or i’ll delete the blogs completely. in case the blogs are still up, the links of the updated projects will be posted when they’re ready. otherwise, you can find them in my itch.io account.
the projects will still be continued + updated, but i’ll be limiting all contacts with the readers and the authors who are immature enough to set up fake discord and tumblr accounts to dunk on me. for context, i know who you are because there aren’t a lot of people who know my full name and all the projects i’ve discussed in private.
if you have a genuine suggestion or want to support me, reach me on my discord server. i’ll be going more active there from now on and it’ll probably be my only direct source of communication.
the decision for the upholding of both of my blogs will be pending for a week. after that, i’ll either delete them or hand them to someone else.

@ Embers - Lilith always becoming shy when being complimented by someone she admires - or fearful when hit by some foreign gonk. (there is a reason netrunning is her proficiency - the solitude attracts an introvert like her) She might have found her Black Ice in the physical world now though which makes it much easier to endure.

I’ve seen some people thinking the black shulker box entity is still a third party and was intercepted by the federation… while this is a good theory I have doubt.
Specifically because the black shulker box in the federation election building that has been there since the buildings creation. Inside was a book that said “desfruta la isla” with black signs with :) on every side - almost mocking us. Maybe that was a clue. A clue from the beginning that Cellbit was being played all along and we just didn’t have the perspective to see it
The books and things Cellbit got were out of character because the federation knew it had to be to get Cellbit to do what they wanted. If they made it obvious it was cucurucho - or the federation in general - then he wouldn’t have followed their bait with such ferver.
The federation played all of us and I can’t wait to see what happens next

PROGRESS UPDATE!
so... i finally made some very good progress. i revised the whole TCS chapter for each individual route and decided to branch them off in different directions. this gave me a huge amount of headache, but ultimately, i was able to scrape off the irrelevant parts and start the rewriting process. this is gonna be highly rewarding, but also a pain in my ass. i'm not regretting it so far tho
on another note, i finally finished writing chapter one of the not-so-top-secret greek mythology project (discord peeps know what's up 👀) i was working on. i'll be writing chapter two in-between the rewriting of TCS. i had my girlfriend, aka the loml (@acourtofserpents <3), unintentionally end up being my editor and she likes it so far. she may be a little biased but it was still pretty good to hear. it will be released before TCS as i've already completed the first chapter and i wanna gauge if it's received well enough to make a blog of its own tbh.
anyways, that's all for this week! hope y'all are staying safe and healthy and hydrated, dear bonnies!

now I'm stuck with an image of mc getting caught sneaking around tachibana with like half their leg stuck from trying to climb thru the window going "come here often?"
tachibana glares at you, clearly unimpressed by your nonchalance. “give me one good reason why i shouldn’t just shoot your head off.”
“you won’t be able to meet my magnificent self properly?” you try with the most charming smile you can muster.
the hunter’s mouth twitches into a ghost of a smile before they revert it back to their usual scowl. “you think you’re pretty clever, vampyr? brave of you to try to turn on the charm with a gun to your head.”
“clever?” you pretend to think. “perhaps not. but pretty? definitely.”
you smile seductively to prove your point and see a slow tint of pink creep up their cheeks. hell yeah, you still got it.
“are you like this with everyone who tries to kill you?” tachibana asks, mildly frustrated.
“only the cute ones,” you say with a wink, lapping up their flustered reactions. “by the way, were you aware that your gun barrel has been empty this entire time?”

What are some of your favorite WIPs?
Oh this is gonna be a long one, also keep in mind I’m only listing five ! There are so many that we’d just be here all day if I wrote them all down😅
@never-never-land return to never landed was the first WIP IF that took my heart! I just loved how each character was developed in just the RO asks alone, plus the demo was just amazing! I cannot wait to see what they do in the future ^^
@doriana-gray-games The Adventures of Sherlock Homes was an WIP that had my attention the beginning it was released! I loved the Sherlock series and the books, so the chance to play Sherlock was an opportunity I couldn’t miss! Plus romancing Watson and lestrade….well I couldn’t t miss that either!
Kals @the-kingshound is so good! I love the concept and just the characters are amazing! I also love the fact that in the demo (which you should check out) you can choose to be silent! Just the small details that you can choose is amazing.
@absentia-if wip named Absentia caught my attention the second I looked at the ROs! (Especially one being the Ex) I just love the little snippets of them along with the world they live in. I’m also interested in the kidnapper that we may or may not know, mystery’s all around~
@thesecrimsonstrings-if is such a good concept! The both supernatural aspect and the soulmates had me hooked the second I read the intro post. Im so excited for future chapters!!

Childhood Dream Came True!
I don't often talk about my past on here but I'm so freaking excited I'm going to delve into my past life a wee bit. I've updated and pruned my pinned post enough times that it no longer even mentions music anymore. It used to mention how I was a retired professional harpist.
I began playing harp pre-puberty and three years after I began lessons I had my first paid gig. I continued performing all through my teenaged years and it paid entirely for my first college degree. My Mom saved up for an entire year to purchase the harp I still have, a Blevins Encore 34 in Walnut with a full set of levers.
He's my most precious possession and my oldest friend. In case of house fire, he's the only thing I'm saving that isn't a human being. When all else fails, he is the life skill that will put food in my belly and clothes on my back. I love him. He's been moved across the country repeatedly and his body bears scars from all kinds of situations.
I retired from professional performance in 2018. While lucrative, I do not have the soul of a performer. I never overcame stage-fright and I got so stressed out I once had to go to the hospital for nothing more than nerves (we didn't know that at the time).
I hated all the preparations for performing even though I actually liked the performances I gave. I liked meeting people and letting little children play the harp. I liked taking photos and answering questions and occasionally getting to network with other harpists. I liked the clients I had who consistently hired me over the years (14 years to be exact).
But I hated being a performer. I hated having to price out the craft and having to deal with skin-flints who didn't want to pay the rates they agreed to. I hated working with people who changed the repertoire on a whim or who flat out cancelled an entire event and didn't tell me until the day of, as I was unpacking.
I was so happy to retire, I do not regret it one bit. What I do regret is that as soon as I retired I stopped playing entirely. That was never my intention. 2018-2019 saw me flying back and forth between the two coasts and it just wasn't feasible to move the harp with me. I am not putting him in the belly of an airplane and taking my chances. Hell no. So, he stayed behind as I traveled.
Then we settled on the east coast but our stuff was still on the west coast. And then, the 'Rona hit. I went through 3 years of lockdown without my harp.
Either harp, I have two.
The one I've had since I was a kid is the Blevins and his name is Alphie. His little sister is a Dusty Strings Allegro 26 (I think she has 26 strings, might be 24) in Sapele (Brazilian hardwood, stunningly beautiful, has an iridescent sheen to it). She also has a full set of levers and detachable legs to make her a wee bit taller. Her name is Aoife.
I did not name either one. And neither one was with me during lockdown. All that stress and terror and I had no harp to play to soothe my soul or nerves. I had never missed music so much in my entire life. I was eventually reunited with both harps but new strings were desperately needed for Alphie.
Mom did buy me a full set of strings in 2021 and it's taken me until today in 2023 to get him fully restrung. At first I was embarrassed because I had forgotten entirely how to do it. I hadn't seen my harps in years, much less touched them. My callouses are all gone along with theory, technique, repertoire, and musculature. Still have strong hands though!
Well, Mom tracked down a Harp Center that's less than 2 hours from where we live. We went there today and the young lady showed both myself and Mom how to tie the strings and then we managed to restring all but the last four. We got some new music books too because my repertoire is stale at this point. I need new tunes for my own personal sanity.
I am not coming out of retirement. I spent the entire time I played harp, playing for others. Playing what they want, when the want, for as long as they want. Now, I play for me. I play what I want, how I want, when I want, as many times as I want.
That was my goal going to the Harp Center. I wanted to string up Alphie and get new music. That was it. My harp bench that I performed on was broken in our move. Thankfully, my trusty music stand George is still intact.
Mom has insisted I get a new bench, which we'll do in two weeks. When we return to the Center to pick up Apollo.
Yeah, I got a new harp. That wasn't on my agenda. Dad had me play a bunch of different ones and he liked one in particular which I also happened to like in particular and he decided then and there to buy it.
It is a beautiful Salvi Concert Harp, which means it has all 47 strings and pedals instead of levers. Gut strings instead of nylon. It's bigger, it's rich in sound, and he's easy on the eyes.
I have wanted a pedal harp since I was a teenager and I resigned myself to never having one because they just cost too much. This harp had been lowered in price twice and people were now afraid to buy it because now they questioned why it had dropped twice. The Center called it a cursed harp.
I got lucky. Everyone liked it but were all too afraid to buy it. My Dad fears very little. He bought it and we pick it up in two weeks. My childhood dream of owning a concert harp is now a reality. I fell in love with the instrument because of Harpo Marx and his guest spot on the I Love Lucy show. He played Take Me Out to the Ballgame and it moved me to tears.
Apollo was made in 1982 so he has a rich, mature sound. I finally got to name a harp, did it on the drive home. Apollo. He is the Greek god of music. When the Romans got their hands on the pantheon, they left his name alone but altered* what he was god of. To the Romans, he is god of the sun. Apollo the harp is the palest harp I'll now own, he's the oldest, he's the richest in sound, and he's a concert harp.
He is a Harp God. Thus, I am naming him Apollo. I then realized that all three harps' names start with the letter "A" and all three names end in vowels. That is just a very happy coincidence.
*The Greek/Roman gods were often patron deities of many things. Apollo wasn't god of the sun in Greek mythology as they had a sun god named Helios. Apollo is traditionally the god of music, poetry, archery, medicine, and disease.
So yeah, my childhood dream of owning a concert harp came true on a whim of my father's. It hasn't fully sunk in because if it had, this post would be riddled with exclamation points.
